The past two weeks have seen the wheels coming off the Barack Obama reelection campaign as his fellow Democrats abandon him and praise Mitt Romney for his business experience. After the likes of Newark Mayor Cory Booker, former Obama auto-czar Steve Ratner, former Congressman Harold Ford, Jr. and former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell all took issue with Obama attack ads on Romney and his time at Bain Capital, two more names jumped ship yesterday. The current Governor of Massachusetts, Duval Patrick, said yesterday morning on MSNBC that Bain Capital was a ″good company″ and that he had ″many friends″ there. He also gave Romney kudos for his time as governor of the state. Then we have the Big Dog, Bill Clinton, who not only praised Mitt Romney for his business experience, calling it “sterling”, but added that the combination of that with his time as Massachusetts governor made Romney very ″qualified″ to be president.
So what is Barack Obama to do when his surrogates are breaking ranks? Well, so desperate is his campaign that David Axelrod had to hold a rally in Boston where he was heckled by Romney supporters chanting ″SOLYNDRA! SOLYNDRA!″ The unprecedented move to have your campaign manager go out and make speeches on your behalf appears to indicate that Team Obama is facing major problems within the ranks of Democrats. He is not alone.
Take for example how in Wisconsin, where the large, pro-Democrat public employee union, AFSCME, is down to only some 28,000 due-paying members despite having well over 60,000 members on the books. The law passed by the Wisconsin legislature and Republican Governor Scott Walker, ending the practice of the state automatically deducting union dues from employee paychecks, forcing the unions to collect the money themselves, appears to be showing that many union members are not happy with the way their union spends their money supporting Far-Left Liberal causes and Democrat politicians.
MoveOn.Org, founded by George Soros to help the Clintons during the Monica Lewinski scandal and impeachment hearings, is having cash flow problems, too. They are falling way short of raising a mere $5 from supporters to help fund Democrat campaigns nationwide. With so many congressional and senate seats up for grabs this election cycle, MoveOn.Org may have to cut money intended to go for Obama′s reelection.
With the polls showing Mitt Romney tied or easily defeating Barack Obama this November, it would appear that the early attempts by the Obama campaign to attack Romney on Bain Capital, his wealth and even his record as governor of Massachusetts are all backfiring. Just as Obama′s attempt to falsely claim that the GOP was waging a war against women has failed. Speaking of which, with Planned Parenthood, Obama, and the more radical Democrats now supporting gender-based abortions to increase the number of female infants slaughtered, it would seem that we now know who is really at war with women.

It surely looks easier to bring those dang pines this way.

There is no “supporting” gender based abortions.
Simply put, abortion is legal, no one is compelled to provide a reason or explanation.
Don’t ask, don’t tell.
June 1st, 2012 at 11:50 am
buzzbee, you tip-toed down the long route, but you finally had to reach the logical conclusion: they support gender based abortions, as part of a mentality that says killing your children is OK.
June 1st, 2012 at 1:21 pm
A bill which would have made it illegal for a doctor to perform an abortion purely based on gender was defeated as Democrats opposed it en masse.
June 1st, 2012 at 1:56 pm
LOL he is holding the ball wrong. Putin does these kinds of staged hero-man moments in Russia. Press is laughing about them over there.

‘There is no “supporting” gender based abortions.”
Soooo… hermaphrodites get a pass ?

I’m surprised Obama didn’t loose his cell phone like he does when playing golf.

Maybe because it’s a bull5hit bill intended to shove a wedge into a woman’s right to choose, to establish precedents for restrictions on said rights, and a woman’s medical decisions are none of the government’s business. No person should have to be forced to defend themselves against politically-motivated, government accusations when it comes to their health. It’s not a politician’s business to poke their noses in this decision, period.

As usual, ‘Me’ opts for the slippery slope which leads to the infernal regions.
Sure, let women decide on whether to abort their babies if the gender of the child does not suit them. What next? Hair color? Eye color? The baby does not match their ensemble?
Yeah, let’s be the only nation other than Communist China to allow gender-based abortions. Good going, ‘Me’, you have convinced myself that its Brave New World time!

Why would moonbats give a sht one way or the other ?
They get rid of babies for far less valid reasons as it is

Don’t expect the far left to give an inch on sterilization policy. It’s exactly where the policies of the fasc*st left and H*tler fall in bed together.

“Maybe because it’s a bull5hit bill intended to shove a wedge into a woman’s right to choose.
You have the right to choose whether to fck or not to fck, with or without a rubber/contraception. You also are obligated
to inform partners of any known STDs;

“No person should have to be forced to defend themselves against politically-motivated, government accusations when it comes to their health. ”
Yeah they do, if their health is contagious

So yeah, there’s that.
The point is that the government has ZERO business involving itself in questioning a woman’s health decisions. This is just yet another another attempt to get government’s nose under the tent and between the legs of women. And more evidence (as if the Reagan/Bush/BushII administrations aren’t enough evidence) that the GOP is a big government, intrusive, paternalistic, hands in your business, eavesdropping, big brother political organization.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:44 pm
@me
So, let me get this straight.If Gov. has zero business involving itself in a woman’s health, then you are against it being mandatory for insurance companies to cover contraception for free?
June 3rd, 2012 at 4:46 am
LOL, Grady!
Now you are using logic, something the Moonbat Liberals are unfamiliar with. Please do not confuse them too much.

Or being forced to buy Obamacare even if you dont want it

Yes he is holding the ball the wrong way. Then again, though, my son can throw a perfect spiral, and he holds the ball in the middle, which is wrong, too. I’ve tried to get him to do it right, you know, hold it on the end with your fingers just over the laces and your thumb wrapped around in a L shape, but when he tries to throw it like that, the football goes straight up in the air. So I guess it must be like a batting stance. Do what comes naturally.
June 3rd, 2012 at 7:41 am
If insurance companies do not cover contraception, then this is a negative action which does effect a woman’s health. There is no reason why a woman’s health insurance should not cover contraception. By not covering contraception, insurance companies are saying that a woman’s reproductive health is not important.
Something wingnuts with an agenda DO understand, but don’t want anyone else to.
June 3rd, 2012 at 8:54 am
LOL I’m still hooting about Obama throwing a football. It’s all anyone needs to know about his followers.
June 3rd, 2012 at 10:33 am
You have to admit the throwing motion isn’t bad, however.
Perhaps they should have Obama and Hannity have a football throwing contest.
Although, Hannity will have to use a grown-up football. He can, however, keep the ever-present smirk.
June 3rd, 2012 at 10:58 am
Just what we need — two sissies in pinstripes competing for manly points.
The motion is that bad , by the way. At this point in the delivery, with the weight off the back leg and ball beginning to come forward, the nose of that ball needs to be pointed forward to go anywhere. Try it yourself at home. And the heroic gaze 500 yards down field is worthy of General Patton at the Battle of the Bulge. I think this is one of those silly staged photos, where he is standing still for a photographer, more presidential fakery from this idiot. And I just now read that the idiot distributed this pic thru his own Twitter account! LOL faker!

“Something wingnuts with an agenda DO understand, but don’t want anyone else to.”
Just because you cant put two and two together doesn’t add up to a conspiracy.
We’ve been trying to teach you this for years but you wont settle for four. You keep insisting on five because the + sign counts as one also.
June 4th, 2012 at 1:25 pm
Let me sum “Ghost” and “Me” logic: Government intervention is good when it supports my beliefs, otherwise it’s a dang right-wing conspiracy.
