Mitt Romney To Big Bird: You're Fired!

The controversy about Kevin Clash, the voice of Elmo will be covered. You have to click on this link here.

Conservatives are rejoicing after the first presidential debate. Republican nominee Mitt Romney has won the debate, and conservatives are feeling the bounce back! The bounce back has Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity declaring that Mitt Romney's getting his groove back!

These foolish conservatives ignored the feisty Mitt Romney interrupting moderator Jim Lehrer and President Barack Obama. Even more the fact that the Republican nominee had went forth boldly acknowledge that he's willing to cut PBS (through severing ties with Corporation for Public Broadcasting). And to top off his plans to cancel out PBS, he's a fan of Sesame Street star Big Bird.

"I'm sorry Jim. I'm gonna stop the subsidy to PBS. I'm gonna stop other things," Romney said. "I like PBS, I like Big Bird, I actually like you too."

"But I'm not going to keep on spending money on things to borrow money from China to pay for."

Well those comments lit up Twitter and yes it's became viral.

USA Today reports that 30 minutes into the verbal contest between President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney, the former governor explained that he would cut what he considers non-essential items in the budget, including cuts to PBS, which employs debate moderator Jim Lehrer.

The Daily Mail reports the official Sesame Street Twitter account revealed that the giant yellow avian was unaware of his political role.


The show's creators sent out a tweet purportedly from Big Bird saying: "My bed time is usually 7.45, but I was really tired yesterday and fell asleep at 7! Did I miss anything last night?"

Moments later, a more serious tweet appeared distancing the show from partisan politics.

"We are a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization,' the message read. 'We do not comment on campaigns, but we’re happy we can all agree that everyone likes Big Bird!'"


Minutes after the Republican candidate made his remarks, a Twitter account with the handle @BIGBIRD was created. The first tweet was "WTF Mitt Romney... :("

Later, the account wrote: "Yo Mitt Romney, Sesame Street is brought to you today by the letters F & U! #debates #SupportBigBird."

Moments later, a photo began circulating on Twitter of a forlorn-looking Big Bird holding a cardboard sign that reads "will work for food."

In less than an hour, thousands of Twitter comments about Romney's Big Bird remark poured in -- most of them sympathetic of the ubiquitous childhood stable.

"Tonight's debate winner: Big Bird," one Twitter user wrote.


The Los Angeles Times tweeted: "Mitt Romney loves Big Bird, will kill funding for him anyway."

Another user said: "Children around the world traumatized about Romney promising to kill Big Bird."

Public broadcasting funding, including PBS and NPR, has long been in the sights of conservatives.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting receives about $450 million from Congress each year. About $280 million goes to PBS and the local stations.

Federal funding makes up about 12 per cent of the PBS budget.

Supporters were quick to point out that the figure amounts to 0.007 percent of the federal budget - about 80 cents per American.

Romney promised he wouldn't 'kill Big Bird' while he was campaigning in Iowa last year, but still pledged to cut PBS funding.

"Big Bird is going to have advertisements, all right?" he said. "And we're going to have endowments for the arts and humanities, but they're going to be paid for by private charity, not by taxpayers."

Could It Be The Mitt Romney Turnaround?

The first presidential debate has passed and it looks like the "zingers" helped the Republican nominee best President Barack Obama. Most analysis concluded that Mitt Romney came off the better debater in this first debate held at the University of Denver.

What may discourage the president's supporters is the fact he didn't mention some of the awful gaffes that were made by Romney during the last few months.

What excited the conservatives is the fact that Romney parroted all the talking points he's read on The Drudge Report or through outlets like Fox News.


Now I am surprised that people were expecting the president was going to win the debate! I kind of figured that the president was going to bring his A-game, but held back! Or maybe that the moderator didn't handle the debate as well. I heard the conservative media lamblast those who moderate the debates.

The president was being hammered by the failures to mention Mitt Romney's weaknesses. The fact that he didn't mention the 47% gaffe. The offshore accounts and of course his lack of foreign policy experience.

This failure to mention this gaffes gave Romney an advantage. But Romney did some walking back of his own. At times, Romney did get quite testy with the president and debate moderator Jim Leher.

Overrall, is this the turnaround for the once struggling Mitt Romney campaign?

Parrots Of The Fox Nation!

Protesters bring Obama cutout to piss off Romney supporters. They film the reactions of the cutout of President Barack Obama.

Amateur filmmakers takes a cardboard cutout of President Barack Obama to a Mitt Romney campaign event and watch how his supporters react to this!

Notice that a majority of Romney's supporters are White and it's likely to go viral in the coming days when the liberal agitators in the media get wind of this.

The Republican Party and its conservative allies in the media have been harping on the Hampton University speech from 2007. The Loyola University speech from 1998. The Black woman from Ohio and her Obama phone. The president's birth certificate. Vice President Joe Biden's comments during this election. Things that are based on the NIGGERIZATION of President Barack Obama.

Instead of focusing on issues like the coming debt ceiling, farm subsides, a jobs bill, and tackling immigration reform, we're reduced to Republicans trying to waste the remainder of the election season refocusing on the culture war!

The conservative media has been hammering Mitt Romney because he refuses to take the offensive on President Barack Obama.

The Republican Party is desperate and its showing.

This event in Denver will make you mad and probably have you thinking that these people are indoctrinated by the angry voices of conservative talk radio, Fox News, The Drudge Report, Breitbart, Michelle Malkin and WorldNetDaily crowds.

Instead of getting angry at these people. Shake your head and go to the voting booth!

VOTE.

Ignore these people. They have the right to criticize the president and Vice President Joe Biden. Facts are liberal lies according to these people. They're not invested in the truth nor they care. They hate Obama and that's okay!

At least President Barack Obama hasn't written them off like Mitt Romney has!

Fox News/Drudge: Race Speech EPIC Fail!

Keep the desperation coming, conservatives! Hence the NIGGERIZATION of President Barack Obama by those in the conservative media.

This is the explosive "bombshell" that radio asshole Sean Hannity promised to view on his show. This is what the gay ass kisser Matt Drudge splashed on his website. This is what dick smoker Tucker Carlson promised to push upon the mainstream masses. A five year old doctored/or edited video in which then Senator Barack Obama, the presidential candidate was telling a black audience of the horrors of the American government failing those people in New Orleans during the tragic Hurricane Katrina.

Five years ago they could have released this! But now, they're desperate and they'll throw the kitchen sink at the president. So what are these fools going to do?

Play the race card!

Do you actually think this stuff is going to work?

I mean how far will these people go before they've realized that this stuff isn't working!

The video in question has Barack Obama at Hampton University talking about issues that focused on the rebuilding of New Orleans. The right wing is bringing back their old nemesis Jeremiah Wright.

The president severed ties with the controversial former pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ of Chicago, after numerous videos went viral in which Wright criticized American foreign policy and its race relations.

In a video mentioned exclusively five years ago by the mainstream media, but somehow this video was "exclusively" obtained by The Daily Caller, then-presidential candidate Barack Obama tells an audience of black ministers, including the conservatives old nemesis Jeremiah Wright, that the U.S. government failed the Hurricane Katrina victims because of racism.

“The people down in New Orleans they don’t care about as much!” Obama shouts in the video, which was shot in June of 2007 at Hampton University in Virginia. By contrast, survivors of Sept. 11 and Hurricane Andrew received generous amounts of aid, Obama explains. The reason? Unlike residents of majority-black New Orleans, the federal government considers those victims “part of the American family.”

The racially charged and at times angry speech video was going to undermine Obama’s carefully-crafted image as a leader eager to build bridges between ethnic groups. This video was an attempt to smear the president.

Without playing the entire 40 minutes of his speech, similar to then president George W. Bush's 2005 address to the nation, The Daily Caller only obtained a few minutes and nothing more. They claim he's using an accent he almost never adopts in public.

This video is an attempt to make Obama look like a racist, with a zero-sum society, in which the white majority profits by exploiting black America. The mostly black audience shouts in agreement. They're trying to claim that this is closer to an Al Sharpton rally than a conventional campaign event.

Parts of the speech included (courtesy of Think Progress).

That poverty has roots in a history of racial discrimination, which cut off generations from the opportunity of America. We have a duty to confront this poverty with bold action. So let us restore all that we have cherished from yesterday and let us rise above the legacy of inequality. When the streets are rebuilt, there should be many new businesses, including minority-owned businesses, along those streets.

So this is what you got, Tucker Carlson? Another "race" bombshell!

Now tell me? If this Jeremiah Wright stuff failed the first time, what makes it possible for it to be winnable?

This is a sure dud and no one is going to take this seriously.

Maybe those voters who weren't going to vote for Barack Obama anyways. But to an independent voter, this stuff is a distraction and it's not going to sway their votes whatsoever.

Sean Hannity, the radio/television asshole bragged about this earlier this evening on his radio program. He's claiming this could be an "OCTOBER SURPRISE"  that could damage the president's rising poll numbers.

Most people in the media will probably write this off as another desperate attempt by conservatives to energized their base. The polls show that Democratic enthusiasm is up and Republican enthusiasm is down.

Mitt Romney damaged himself with the 47% comments in a hidden camera video. The Republicans are trying to regain control of the message. So instead of focusing on the number one issue, the economy, they're focused on the Libyan embassy attacks, the Jay-Z fundraiser, David Letterman, The View and other issues.

UPDATE: On CBS This Morning, when asked about this video, Obama campaign spokesman Robert Gibbs shot back at Sean Hannity, CBS reporter Jan Crawford for deliberately trying to change the subject with a five year old video instead of worrying about the president's policies and of course the infamous Mitt Romney's 47% comments.

So instead of getting mad at Matt Drudge, Sean Hannity, Fox News, Tucker Carlson and The Daily Caller, here's what you should do!

VOTE!

Don't let these race-baiting fools stop the president. It's essential that you vote and vote early. That's a big weakness to Mitt Romney's campaign.

We already know that President Barack Obama's is likely to win, but will these utter distractions hurt his chances with White voters?

Conservatives aren't going to vote for him anyways! They already believe the first African American president is a racist. That's fine and dandy. Just ignore them and vote!

Republicans Fear Early Voting May Hurt Romney's Chances!

Today in the all-important swing state of Ohio, here we go the early voting!

Many Americans are not waiting til November 6, 2012, they're doing it right now and getting it over with!

Many Republicans fear that Mitt Romney may have blown his chances on this election! They're urging that he and Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) step up on their attacks on the president.

Early voting is a tactic that gives President Barack Obama an advantage. The advantage is hopefully in the favor of the president. The Obama campaign sends mailers and text messages to supporters let them know about the opportunities to vote.

In Pennsylvania, the state's Supreme Court struck down the controversial voter identification law that was passed by the Republican legislators. The governor Tom Corbett vows to appeal the decision in federal court.

The United States Justice Department is also looking into the Republican firm accused of voter registration fraud. The Republican Party dismissed this firm after Florida legislators found out that members were using fake names in their registration drive.

Yet, there's no sign of the New Black Panthers or ACORN in sight!

Anyways, if you're upset over conservatives trying to discredit you as an American voter in support of President Barack Obama! Don't get mad!

VOTE!

Early voting is going on in some states and you have an opportunity to avoid the massive turnout by those on November 6th.

And here another kicker for the American people, Congressman Paul Ryan, the vice presidential nominee calls 30% of the American public stuck in the "WELFARE STATE" mentality.

Oh yeah!

We got another condescending politician dismissing the poor and middle class.

Republicans have no sympathy for the poor and middle class. Their mentality of thinking the poor being freeloading degenerates.

No, Paul Ryan. They're human beings who need a safety net so they don't come into your neighborhood robbing you and your family. They're Americans who fallen on hard times with the rising costs of food and fuel prices.

They're people who need the benefits they've earned. If you don't like the veterans, the single parent or the unemployed worker, that's your prerogative! Some of those people vote for Mitt Romney too!

Black Garbageman Slams Romney!

This is the Mitt Romney desperation campaign. And he and Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) may go down even harder than I've expected. There a video from Mediaite, in which a Black person who appeared in a political ad having second thoughts about the Republican nominee. The perennial candidate for higher office has sealed his fate in a video in which he dissed half of the nation with the terms "victim".

He is trying to regain footing by participating in the national debate this week. This is the candidate's last chance before the election.



The new ad here has me thinking! This has to be one of the most craziest ads I've seen.

A garbage man slamming Mitt Romney! Now I've seen everything!


“My name is Richard Hayes, and I pick up Mitt Romney’s trash. We’re kind of like the invisible people. He doesn’t realize that the service we provide — if it wasn’t for us, it would be a big health issue, us not picking up trash.

“Residents do come out and shake our hands. Sometimes they give us hugs and thank us for the job we’re doing, hand us water and Gatorades. Tell us we’re doing a good job and keep up the good work. Picking up 15, 16 tons by hand, that takes a toll on your body. When I’m 55, 60 years old, I know my body’s gonna be break down [sic]. Mitt Romney doesn’t care about that.”

Woman Films Teenager Who Is Registering Only Romney Voters!

A young woman caught on camera trying to register Republicans. An amateur filmmaker confronts the young woman over her deliberate attempt to register only voters who support Mitt Romney.

The Addicting Info crew once again goes to the bat and swings out another home run!

The state of Colorado is significant for its growing Hispanic population. The state is very important for Mitt Romney's campaign because of its culturally conservative voters. The state's largest city Denver is a primary hold for President Barack Obama.

President Barack Obama carried Colorado in the last election, and it's going to up for grabs yet again!

This video filmed by a woman from El Paso County, Colorado has went viral. The amateur filmmaker and the dumb ass Romney supporter. The woman pulls aside a young woman who is out registering people to vote. Let's say it didn't go the way it was planned.

The woman confronted the young woman over her admission that she's trying to register voters in favor of Mitt Romney. The woman asked her if she works for the Romney campaign. The young woman stated that she's working for the country clerk of the board of elections.

The reason why this is an issue that's certainly going to find its way with liberal agitators such as Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz, Alan Colmes, Stephanie Miller, Al Sharpton and Chris Matthews is the fact that this young woman is supposedly works for a non partisan government agency that is required to make sure that voter fraud isn't happening.

The woman works for firm that's supportive of the Republican Party.

Strategic Allied Consulting a group that supports Republican voter turnout was also recently dropped by the Republican National Committee and the Florida Republican Party amidst news headlines and allegations of voter fraud in 10 Florida state counties.

The Virginia-based firm is run by Nathan Sproul, who also owns the Lincoln Strategy Group which, coincidentally, has also been involved in widely-reported voter fraud scandals. According to the Los Angeles Times, the RNC requested that Sproul create the newly-minted Strategic Allied Consulting company to avoid the negative publicity associated with Sproul’s older firm. To date, the Florida Republican Party has paid Sproul $1.3 million, and the Colorado Republican Party has shoveled out more than $500,000. Before cutting ties, the RNC had also retained Strategic Allied Consulting to handle voter registration drives in Virginia, North Carolina, and Nevada, in addition to get-out-the-vote drives in Wisconsin and Ohio.

If you're looking for the New Black Panthers, you're not going to find them there!

[Safeway Shopper with cell phone video recorder turned on approaches Teenage Girl ostensibly gathering voter registrations]

Teenage Girl: Would you vote for Romney or Obama?
Safeway Shopper: I thought you were registering voters a minute ago.
Teenage Girl: [puzzled] Um … I am.

Teenage Girl: [cagily] Oh, um, the … let’s see … we’re working for the County Clerk’s office.
Safeway Shopper: [vehemently] OK, you cannot come here and register one party, lady. Are you working for the County Clerk’s office? I’ve got it all on tape.
Teenage Girl: [holds out hand to hide her face]
Safeway Shopper: [raises voice] You’re working for the County Clerk’s Office?
Teenage Girl: I believe so, yes.
Safeway Shopper: [increasingly outraged] And you’re only registering Republicans?
Teenage Girl: [brightly] Nope.
Safeway Shopper: You said you were only registering Romney people.
Teenage Girl: [smugly] Well, we’re trying to…to be honest.
Safeway Shopper: [almost shouting] And you’re working for the COUNTY’s OFFICE? What’s your name?
