    Typically, eminent domain has been used to clear property for infrastructure projects like highways, schools and sewage plants. But supporters say that giving help to struggling borrowers is also a legitimate use of eminent domain, because it's in the public interest.

     

    Under the proposal, a city or county would sign on as a client of Mortgage Resolution Partners, then condemn certain mortgages. The mortgages are typically owned by private investors like hedge funds and pension funds."

     

    So they say................

     

     

    Thanks Justice Souter.

  2. I was going to ask if you were a maniac suggesting we should go into Egypt, or that through policy we could somehow change their country. But then I realized that you just think supporting their electoral process is Obama supporting Islamic extremists.

     

     

    Sorry.

     

    We are not "just supporting their electoral process" that is a simplistic view.

     

     

    We have also sent Egypt nearly 2 billion dollars in the past 15 months.

     

     

    and Leaders can influence other countries through policy, we have seen it throughout our History.

     

     

    but not since 2009

  3. Obama To Americans: You Don’t Deserve What You’ve Earned!

     

    Here's the smartest President ever,

    speaking in Roanoke on Friday and writing Romney’s next ad for him. Sure sounds like he’s channelling Elizabeth Warren. . . . Barack Obama openly stokes bitter resentment against Americans who work hard, take risks, and create jobs.

     

    But at least he’s ‘likable’!”

     

     

     

    “Obama to Americans: You don’t deserve what you’ve earned”

     

    Americans to Obama: “Funny, we were thinking the exact same thing about you…”

     

    Heh.

  4. Of course our wonderful media will stress the "tomatoes" and smirk at the "Monica" chants, but what they won't do is tell us the real reason for the protests.

     

    Picture of protesters

     

    Please note the signs say “Hamas will never rule Egypt” and “Egypt will never be Pakistan”

     

    There aren’t protesting Hillary per se.........but the agenda of her boss.

     

    The posters are very professionally done, possibly because Copts tend to go into business and engineering. Alexandria has a large Coptic population, and the slogans hardly look pro-Islamist. I think they are objecting to American policy and Obama Administration support of the Islamic extremists.

     

     

     

    But concentrate on Tomatoes/Monica.................

  5. "But I am confident that the people of Egypt can find the answers, and do so peacefully, constructively, and in the spirit of unity that has defined these last few weeks. For Egyptians have made it clear that nothing less than genuine democracy will carry the day." -- President Barack Obama 2/11/11 (on the "Arab Spring")

     

     

     

    Are we getting our money's worth from the Obama administrations "foreign policy" ?

    A Muslim Brotherhood–controlled government gets $1.5 billion.

    Who is running this idiots campaign? If Mitt does win, he may very well be the most annoying loser to be President ever

     

     

    There really should be some sort of policy here,

     

    that if your IQ does not have a least three digits, you should not be allowed to post a thread.

  7. I know this is a difficult subject I have been a Bills fan as long as there was an AFC. Looking at the demographics of Western New York I do not believe the franchise is viable post Ralph Wilson without successful regionalization into the Toronto market. The Bills will need to sell more tickets at higher prices to stay here.

     

     

     

     

    I reject your supposition..........................it is an oft repeated myth.

     

     

    Winning solves everything. Over a decade of drought proves that.

     

    If the Bills win and are battling for playoffs IN Nov. and Dec. the stadium will be filled.

  8. I'm astounded that BHO continues to run slightly ahead of Romney or neck & neck in most polling. I have to assume that the 20% or so of actual swing voters just aren't paying attention yet.

     

    Of course, most of them are likely watching the Today show in the AM, and then getting a rundown of events from Jake Tapper in the evening, and then watching Letterman . . . so they're inclined to believe that everything is wonderful, Bam is doing a heckuva job, and that bastard Romney is an evil rich guy. :wallbash:

    Nothing astounding about it.

     

    Most polls are oversampling democrats up to 9 - 10% (Even in a dem sweep year like 2008, he only won by 7%)

     

    Romney is really up by about 5% in both sides internal polls.

     

    Thus the early desperation and outright lies by the Obama campaign and its media followers.

     

    .

  9. Now now, the crux of his point is that the GOP should do a better job not having people carry their banner who are alienating moderates who are turned off by the extremes (both extremes). I think anyone who actually wants the country to adopt the conservative principles they believe in would agree that it's probably worth recognizing there's an issue there, you don't have to admit the party has gone of the rails just to admit that they can do better.

     

     

    Terrific advice,

     

    except for one little fact....................Romney is doing quite well with independents/moderates

     

    There is no there there, no matter how much you want it NB.

     

     

    .

  10. I don't think anyone's denying the problem of voter registration mishaps.

     

    The day the dog actually casts a vote is the day we start panicking...

     

     

    C'mon BC, you're smarter than that.

     

    If there is NO ID requirement, then anyone can show up to be "Rosie" and actually vote, or any of the dead people referenced in the story.

     

    Saying, "Oh, its just a registration problem" is short-sighted, its leads to voter fraud just as easily.

     

    .

  11. Is there an ad where Obama calls Romney a felon or is it all the media/surrogates? If ad can someone link it?

     

     

    No..........not media/surrogates, his own campaign team, people he chose, and is responsible for.

     

    and given the chance to correct/clarify about the "felony" remark, they refused.

  12. Transparency for Everyone . . .

    By Victor Davis Hanson

    July 12, 2012

     

     

    As calls increase for Romney to release more of his tax returns, there should be a grand deal with the Obama reelection campaign, one that allows both candidates to be completely transparent across the board, in the manner that John McCain was in 2008, but Barack Obama was unfortunately not.

     

    So a suggestion: Each candidate might release five years (or perhaps even ten years) of past tax returns; at the same time, each candidate should release his undergraduate and graduate transcripts, and each candidate should release his complete medical records.

     

    The latter is critical as we see in the case of Representative Jesse Jackson, Jr., and as we remember the Left tried to make the argument, based on reporters’ access to his school and medical records, that McCain’s age, his injuries, and his bout with cancer should have been a legitimate concern. I recall as well that there were murmurs that McCain’s GPA at the U.S. Naval Academy and class ranking were topics of concern.

     

    Such a compromise would end the back and forth and the mutual requests for full disclosure. And given that higher education, student support, Obamacare, and tax policy are now hot-button issues, the public should be informed about their next president’s university record, his full health record, and his recent tax record.

  13. Link didn't work for me. Here's a new one

     

     

    Thanks Ox.

     

    Mitt Romney responds in an official statement:

     

    "President Obama believes that millions of Americans have lost their homes, their jobs and their livelihood because he failed to tell a good story. Being president is not about telling stories. Being president is about leading, and President Obama has failed to lead. No wonder Americans are losing faith in his presidency."

  14. END OF STORY....................except for the one or two ostriches left who buy this Obama Campaign spin.

     

    From Fortune Magazine thru CNN (not exactly Romney supporters)

     

     

    Documents: Romney didn't manage Bain funds

    By Dan Primack July 12, 2012:

     

    New evidence for when Romney really left Bain Capital.

    FORTUNE -- Mitt Romney did not manage Bain Capital's investments after leaving to run the Salt Lake City Olympic Games, according to confidential firm documents obtained by Fortune.

     

    The timing of Romney's departure from Bain became a lightning rod earlier today, when The Boston Globe published an article suggesting that Romney remained actively involved with the firm longer than he and his campaign have claimed. The sourcing is largely SEC documents that list Romney as Bain Capital's CEO and sole shareholder through 2002 -- or three years after Romney officially left to run the Salt Lake City Olympic Games.

     

    These claims are very similar to ones made last week by David Corn in Mother Jones, which we disputed at the time.

     

    Now Fortune has obtained new evidence that supports Romney's version of events.

     

     

     

    The title of this thread is the REAL lie.

  15. I love it! While Conservatives are whimpering that Romney needs to actually fight, Obama is murdering this sniveling little creep. Let the whining losers complain that Obama is playing too rough for them, this is winner take all politics and the weak should be crushed. David Gergan, who is connected with Bain Capital, by the way, was whining on CNN about Obama playing to hard against Princess Romney, whatever!

     

     

    Destroy the enemy and do it while ya smile! :thumbsup:

     

     

    I would like to think that this was satire,

     

    but sadly (for Park) I do not believe that this was the case.

     

    It must be a type of transferance, when your "opponents" point out the obvious hypocrisy of your leader, to make yourself feel, better , in your mind you dismiss it as whining.

     

    When criticism of said leader increases from all points, including past friends, it is dismissed with a "he's murdering them"

     

     

    Sad.

     

    .

  16. I think today has been clarifying. 

     

    Whatever pretense of civility existed in the Obama campaign is gone.

     

    It’s okay, perfectly okay with the President for his campaign staff to call Mitt Romney a liar and potential criminal:

     

    “No,” Obama press secretary Ben LaBolt said in response to a question from POLITICO about whether the president would apologize.

     

    Name calling is okay.

     

     

    It’s the official policy of the President of the United States.

  17.  

     

     

    President Obama, explaining his "biggest mistake" which was "thinking that this job was just about getting the policy right" and missing that "the nature of this office is also to tell a story to the American people that gives them a sense of unity and purpose and optimism, especially during tough times."

     

    The people who voted for him, including me, really did expect him to bring the country "a sense of unity and purpose and optimism," but I don't think a "story" is what we needed. He came to us with a story — his life story, told in his "Dreams" book, and somehow that led to people imagining him able to bring the country a new sense of unity and purpose and optimism. He chose, however, to do policy that simply wasn't unifying. It was highly partisan and divisive, and for the longest time it has felt as though he is simply running for reelection. So the "story" of Barack Obama, the President, is not a compelling story at all.

     

    And now, he seems to be saying: I'm such a great speechmaker, so if only I'd speechified more I could have sold all my policies as a good story, like I sold myself in the first place as a good story. As if all he needed was more words. He's so good with words.

  18. I don't know what the qualifications are to be a 'Tea Partier' but I'll answer your question.

     

    Unfair? More like downright ignorant. Last I checked there were two houses of Congress. Exactly how many Senators are part of the Tea Party? Answer: 4. And the Democrats control the chamber. And how many House members? 62; 14% of the House. So a group that represents barely a quarter of the party that controls one of the two houses of Congress is the group running Congress? That's joe-the-six-pack level stupidity.

     

    Once again, we have people allowing the media to spoon feed them the perspective that the left wing wants you to imagine, which is: "Obama vs. the Scary Tea Party".

     

     

     

    p.s. and someone who is planning to vote for Obama yakking about the lack of compromise is really priceless.

     

     

    Best reply that I have read all day KD.
