Thanks, ABC,  for telling me that Mitt's a white Mormon.

I'da  never known that without  you telling me. Ever.

Mitt?  A white mormon?

We might have to rethink this whole election thing.

No, that would be political suicide, unfortunately. You keep the power by maintaining the fictions that got you the power in the first place, truth be damned.

The key is that Obama is near guaranteed to get 95% of the black vote ... but if he were to just get 94% - it's over.

the black vote is not going to decide statewide elections with the possible exception of Missouri.

The highest concentration of blacks are either in solid blue states or solid red states.

Can't be the MFM press that reported such a thing, can it? If so, the IRS will be investigating shortly, I'm sure.

Did Romney go to the NAACP to pick up votes?  No.  Its just that if he hadn't, he would have been accused of racism if he didn't placate that left wing organization.  Any black person voting for Romney is doing so because of conservative convictions, not because of Romney performing this obligatory, albeit ultimately superfluous function.

Apt. I first heard that from Terry Pratchett.

Obama, a half white communist whose unemployed father shag everything in sight and never supported any family that he created

*sigh* 'Twere it that everything wasn't backwards  and the truth was valued...

Next is Donna Brazil. She says Romney shouldn't be surprised he was
booed, after all "ObamaCare" is a derogatory term (video below the
fold).

Remember the term "Reaganomics", that the press loved to use in the first couple years of Reagan's Presidency?  Once the economy began to surge, they quickly stopped calling it that.

Sorry fucking bastards.

"Romney, a white Mormon whose father ran for president when blacks weren't even allowed to join the priesthood"

OT - We all know that any judge who doesn't tell a jury that it is their constitutional duty to judge the law as well as their other responsibilities is just a fricking low life peice of shit and a hinderance to humanity. And that statement pretty much includes every single judge that ever existed.

Not any more. New Hampshire has codified it into law. Kudoa to the state:

The rest is at fija.org

With all the buzz and anticipation surrounding the final rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court the past week, there has been little attention to an interesting legal development in New Hampshire: On June 18, Governor John Lynch (no relation) signed HB 146 into law and it becomes effective on January 1, 2013. HB 146 concerns “the right of a jury to judge the application of the law in relationship to the facts in controversy.” It’s popularly known as “the jury nullification bill.” In this post, I will try to explain what impact this new law may have in the New Hampshire courts.

By way of background, Cato co-published the most comprehensive book on this subject back in 1998, Jury Nullification: The Evolution of a Doctrine by Clay Conrad. So pick that up if youÂ’re interested in the full legal and historical treatment. If youÂ’re not ready for the book, do check out this book review by University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds.

For purposes of this post, I am going to sidestep the question of whether or not jury nullification is a good idea. My purpose is not to “make the case for HB 146.” Rather, my purpose is to briefly explain what jury nullification is, provide a very brief history of the law on that subject, and, finally, explain how the recently enacted statute in New Hampshire may alter existing law and practices there.

Thank you.  Thank you.

OT: I know some moron or ette can help me here. I'm looking for a short story I read some years ago. The plot involves the hanging of a man from a bridge and the man's thoughts as the hanging proceeds. It might be set in the civil war period. The rope breaks and the man thinks he escapes by swimming and avoiding bullets from the bridge. But at the end it turns out the rope breaking and the escape was imagined by the man in the instant between the drop and the rope breaking the man's neck.

Ring any bells?

Thanks in advance!

All good stuff.

But what I ponder in this little episode is why Romney has chosen to speak at an overtly racist organization (it's literally IN THE NAME) - apparently soliciting support, or at least trying to weaken support for his opponent -  and why no politicians who go there ever call them out on it.

But on the subject of Obama's father, the ultimate conclusion is that Obama's parents were not LEGALLY married, and so while Obama is not the "first black" president (as the people who constantly lecture on being "color blind" constantly enjoy professing), he IS both the first biracial and the first illegitimate (i.e., "bastard") president.

Rep. Cleaver: Romney shouldnÂ’t criticize Obama in front of a black audience

-----

Posted by: phoenixgirl at work team dagny at July 11, 2012 01:23 PM (NZF8l)

It seems to be a required stop on the campaign trail.

Here's what Candidate Jones in CO would say to the assembled NAACP:

"Ladies and gentlemen, none of you are going to vote for me. Thank you, and God Bless America."

<exits>

Romney should have adjusted his speech some, considering the audience. Instead of saying he's just going to repeal Obamacare, he should have started by saying that, yes, there are some popular parts of the bill that we all like and he would like to keep those (because I think that's true), and while providing affordable health care is something we all agree with and should work towards, there are too many problems with how the AFA is structured...or something like that. I wonder who writes this guy's speeches.  He shouldn't pander, but he's got to give consideration to the type of audience he's addressing.

I give Romney credit for going in front of a hostile crowd, something Obama won't do (unless you count that time Chris Mathews said he was facing the "enemy camp" when he went to make a speech at the USNA).

Jones

he didn't pander....told it like it is

Posted by: Hollowpoint at July 11, 2012 12:41 PM (SY2Kh)

FIFY

Romney had to speak before the NAACP. He wins by doing it, no matter the reactions from those in attendance, and that's why the other side is attacking, trying to lessen the win. It's all good.

Next.

<i>Next is Donna Brazil. She says Romney shouldn't be surprised he was booed, after all "ObamaCare" is a derogatory term (video below the fold). </i>

God damn right its derogatory, nothing could be more insulting to Obama and Democrats than the fact that they came up with that POS bill that happens to be electoral poison.

Posted by: Jones in CO at July 11, 2012 01:30 PM (8sCoq)

Oh for a politician that honest, sad but true

Of course, Axelrod made sure Romney would be booed, and made sure this was all the MSM would report on.  And undoubtedly this clip will be played tonight by David Letterman with accompanying guffaws.  This will set up the next line of attack that repeal of Obamacare is racist and will hurt millions of black people.  Right now the Obama campaign is all about shoring up its base and driving that black turnout. 

The only reason I was "meh" about Romney doing this speech was because I knew it would be a setup like this by the Obama campaign.  If the Romney camp did not expect this to happen, they were fools.  BUT....it will ultimately help Romney with the people he needs, those upscale white socially liberal suburban voters.  They will (a) appreciate that he went to talk to the black folks, and (b) will be offended by the booing.

I'm sure all the white kids at Obama HQ are high-fiving each other today, but they are stupid. 

There are blacks that I know who are very disappointed in Obama and will NOT vote for him in the fall; however, they aren't even considering voting for Romney...the question that they always ask is "What does he stand for besides 'Hey, I'm NOT Obama'?"  I always respond:   that's a very good question...I'm not sure.

@ 117

I agree with Hollowpoint, Romney was right to go to the NAACP and give a speech but he did it wrong.  Along with the boilerplate he should have added that his father was an early supporter of the Civil Rights movement and that, IIRC, he and his father marched with MLK Jr.And he should have told them that the "modern day Civil Rights movement led by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton" is not what he marched for or what he believes in.  Not reparations, not Affirmative Action (just a fancy way of renaming discrimination), not the constant race-baiting the Dem-Left-White House engages in, etc..  Instead, he still believes a person should be judged by the content of their character.  That is what he should have done, take it to them and call them out.  He missed a prime opportunity IMHO.

big titted blondes

MOAR THIS

I have been seduced by big - titted blondes?

Oy vey!  Who knew?

NAACP lol

@187 I think Romney was smart NOT to talk about his father.  He can't run for President on his father's coattails, only Kennedys and Bushes get to do that.  You can't trump an actual black president with "my dad marched with Martin Luther King", so why bother?  He was smart to stick to the issues of THIS election, namely that we have a SCOAMF President that has been horrible for black people and needs to be removed.

Say what you want about Romney, but the sonofabitch is staying on message better than any candidate I've seen since Bill Clinton.

Where can I find the Eeyores? I haven't seen any online for a while.

@ 208

Agreed.  It would not have gone over well with that crowd.  But being well recieved by that crowd would not have been the  goal.  News of what you said would get out and would be well recieved by about 75% of the American population.  Those people who are tired of being called a racist every time the disagree with the left-Obama-Dems  on any given issue.  Think of it as a Sista Souljah moment.

@206

“My mother said, and by the way, it was wonderful for children by the way — having your grandpop living with you, having your great aunt, your uncle, for real,” Biden said. “Those walls were awful thin, I wonder how the hell my parents did it! But that’s a different story. I know you don’t anything about that. I know none of you in your families have done the same thing.”

There was an occasion in 1993 when Bill Clinton went to speak to a veterans group at the Viet Nam Memorial.

Almost  en masse the veterans turned their backs to him.  I'll bet almost no one has ever seen the film of that because the networks never showed what they happened.  I did see a clip years ago that an amateur film maker had recorded, and it was mighty embarrassing to Clinton.  He was very mad and flustered.  And that's why somebody like Obama will NEVER appear before a crowd that they can manage and control  with an expected outcome, because there might be a public outpouring of anger and resentment towards them that the MBM can't filter out.

Madeline Albright and Steven Cohen (the SecDef) appeared at Ohio State in the late '90's to talk about Middle East foreign policy, and they were badly heckled by Arab students at Ohio State. Madeline looked PO'd that day.  A very unfortunate ambush for them.

Most Democrats are obnoxious, gutless twerps or bullies.  When a Democrat congressman is from a very secure district (like Jim  Moran) , they can afford to be as obnoxious and insulting as possible, because there is actually no chance that they can be unseated.

Contrast this with...Ron Paul.  Who comes from a district where there is a lot of loyalty to him.  I disagree with a lot of what Ron Paul says, but I have never seen him be purposefully rude, obnoxious or vulgar.  Crazy and wrong-headed, but never behaving like that tin-plated jerk, Moran.

It's on abc news, rush apparently mentioned it.

"He did it to demonstrate that he's not an extreme idealogue who won't even speak to that group."

True, perhaps, but it a sad and pathetic statement about our country. He has to talk to extremist racists, to prove he's not an "extreme idealogue"? Maybe he should go give a talk to the Communist Party of the USA, also.

There's also that "extremist" label, that's so unfortunate. The Founding Fathers were extremist idealogues - it's not always a bad thing. It depends on what you're being extreme and ideological about. These days, the Left is calling Tea Partier's "the extreme right". That's not really true, but it's outrageous that people who assert the values and principles of the Constitution could ever be considered as "extreme" in this country, or that any American would question it's inherent "ideology", given it's unparalleled success.

You have to talk to them. Mitt has been doing alot of talking lately...thats why they clap!

@ 217

You missed my point.  Romney is not going to win the black vote or win blacks over.  But he can tell them and the rest of America exactly what he believes vis-a-vis Civil Rights.  And I certainly hope he believes more in the 'original' goal of the movement ( the content of ones character ) than the modern day race-baiting bullshit they believe in now.  It would hurt you in front of that crowd to say you don't belive in AA or reparations or divisive racialism (as engaged in by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton) but it sure would help you with the rest of America.

He graciously leaves that to his supporters.

The whole country, those who tried, with stellar credit, to refi and either didn't get a call back from the bank or they are still waiting, like a year or they were out and out rejected, should send her an email. Her email would crash.

One reason I don't refi is IIRC there was a provision in Ocare that began this past Jan. that adds a % to pay for Ocare on every new mortgage.
