Santorum: 'Barack Obama has sided with the 99 versus 1 '

He supported this movement, this movement that is intolerant and disrespectful.

Wow, that's even more telling.

Freudian slip by Icky-Ricky?

If a repubulican tells you to the face that he is lying, is he telling you the truth, or is he still lying, considering everything out of the mouths of republicans are lies?

(Have some triple-malt and see it that clears things up for you.....!)

This will make for some great material for President Obama's campaign ads...thanks Ricky!

Hmmmm... President Obama supports the vast majority (99%!!!!) to the consternation of Rick Sanctimonious. Imagine, the President supporting average, working Americans...

Hell, I don't even here the 1% bitching about not getting Obama's support!!!

Just, wow, I can't wait until he gets a Solid Gold Popemobile and restarts the Inquisition. Torture racks, dungeons, public Whippings, draw and quarter, boiling tar pits; S & M by decree!

Just, wow, I can't wait until he gets a Solid Gold Popemobile and restarts the Inquisition. Torture racks, dungeons, public Whippings, draw and quarter, boiling tar pits; S & M by decree!

I'm sure alot of Rick's fellow Republicans would sign up for the S & M part, no questions asked!

He supported this movement, this movement that is intolerant and disrespectful

Money alone does not make you worthy of respect, Rick. That is something you still haven't learned, apparently.

Can he blame this one on his wife too?

Amazing. Does he stop to think about how much larger 99% is over 1%? Or is he confident that many of the 99% will not have their vote recorded? Or is he convinced in his heart of hearts that money is speech and that money can buy any election.

Or is he just a simpleton raised in a bubble?<

That disrespectful part is incredible. Have an essay in themaking called "The Horror of Impoliteness". Seems like a country that was born from Revolution would be more comfortable with protests.
/P>

Does he stop to think about how much larger 99% is over 1%

Now now Stephanie you used the word "think" when you were talkling about the GOP/TEA...

GOP = Greedy Old Party...... TEA = Terrorized Enough Already

douglasq, Rick hasn't learned or earned any respect, literally everything he said is a disturbingly accurate mirror image of himself, intolerant, smarter than everyone else, disrespectful, etc.

good point Jensen.....Prick Santorum is now the Grand Inquisitor of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and Romoney is the Bishop of Mormanism for Rome in America....

No @!$%# Sherlock. Obama knows the 99% is going to elect the next President.

(Hint: It won't be YOU Rick Santorum)

Blaming everyone for his failures, the latest it is our founding fathers, and the Catholic church, fault, your pide piper, is piping for you, the Rev. Wrights puppet.

I don't know which I find more risible: the grammar, the spelling, or the sentiment!

Jenni-Oh

The 99% of what? Their rallies are generally a couple hundred, if lucky a couple thousand, and they have to set up trauma centers, for the ladies who are raped, they sit on private land defecating in the street, drug use is rampant.

You seen us at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial, who by the way was the first republican president, and we were hundreds of thousands, and we had no problems.

You will know them by their fruit, and their fruit is dingleberries.

Well if you check the FEC Federal Election Commission for his 2008 election...

Well, if you check the FEC reports for 2011, Romney's top six contributors are all Wall Street firms. President Obama has only one in the top 20. That firm - Goldman Sachs - donated $64,000 to Obama and almost $500,000 to Romney. With $12.0 million from wall street, Romney collected more than twice the Obama campaign's $5.0 million take, not even counting the Super PACs. Romney's Super PAC has received million dollar donations from each of seven hedge funds.

Everyone apparently knows this but you, lcs.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/02/us-usa-campaign-wall-street-idUSTRE81100Y20120202

Clearly, Romney is Wall Street's huckleberry this cycle and the reasons are clear. The Obama Administration has called for carried interest - the incentive compensation that private equity and hedge funds receive - to be taxed at regular income tax rates instead of capital gains rates. Romney has stated his intention to repeal the limited protections financial service consumers receive from Dodd-Frank. Romney intends to make the Bush tax cuts permanent and to eliminate all estate taxes. In spite of the fact that the spectacular global financial stemmed from deregulation and lack of enforcement, Romney has pledged to deregulate further.

Your information is old, lcs. Old, tired, discredited and obsolete.

You're far better off going back to your iced tea and stogey.

LCS ... Let's talk about THIS election: According to the Center for Responsive Politics, these are the top contributors to Mitt Romney:

Goldman Sachs
$499,430

JPMorgan Chase & Co
$322,400

Morgan Stanley
$281,350

Credit Suisse Group
$277,250

Citigroup Inc
$267,050

By contrast, these are President Obama's top contributors:

Microsoft Corp
$188,643

DLA Piper
$151,375

Google Inc
$139,030

Morgan & Morgan
$127,895

Harvard University
$126,962

Looks like the banks and insurance companies are looking for a big payday with Romney!!

LCS ... Let's talk about THIS election: According to the Center for Responsive Politics, these are the top contributors to Mitt Romney:

Let's talk about the money that the President is hauling in from huge fundraisers. Tomorrow he heads to to the west coast to rake in more. No public events in California, just fundraisers...three of them at a cost of $35800 per person. I guarantee you there won't be autoworkers, contruction workers, minimum wage earners, unemployed or OWS people inside those venues and probably not outside them either...because...we don't talk about that.

Joe Kat ...

We DO talk about our President because we're proud of him and his wife Michelle. Here is a fact to counter one of your vicious lies:

According to FactCheck.org about Michelle Obama's job as vice president for community and external affairs (hardly a "no show" job), this attempted smear was started by "The anonymous author a chain e-mail" based on "an opinion piece from the conservative National Review" and they got "the facts wrong in the process". FactCheck.org goes on to report:

University of Chicago Medical Center spokesman John Easton said Mrs. Obama didn’t reduce her work schedule from full time to part time until 2007 when it became clear that her husband would run for president. "As she reduced her hours, beginning early in 2007, her salary decreased proportionately," Easton told us in an e-mail. "She switched to half time shortly before her husband formally announced his campaign, then to 20% later that year and to 0% in 2008."

Stupid, biased tea party liar!! Quit trying to smear our President!!

University of Chicago Medical Center spokesman John Easton said Mrs. Obama didn’t reduce her work schedule from full time to part time until 2007 when it became clear that her husband would run for president.

"She switched to half time shortly before her husband formally announced his campaign, then to 20% later that year and to 0% in 2008."

Yes reduce her work schedule...for a job so critical that it was eliminated after she left. LOL!!!!

So, Joe, I assume by your comments that you side with me in urging a constitutional amendment to eliminate the ability of corporations to buy politicians?

In a news article datelined today: "Despite criticism of Fannie Mae by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, his campaign accepted nearly $280,000 in donations raised by a registered lobbyist who once represented the government mortgage giant ..."

Porter Rockwell

Are you really a truth searcher?

This is for you and all that care to know, when presenting information, it is best to go directly to the source. The Federal Election Commission, the FEC websight use to be very difficult to use, know it is very easy. You can search by politician, or donor. I research many politicians, and companies, and organizations. So as we see, what Porter posted above 1.18, go to websight and search not only Romney, but Santorum, and Ginrich, Obama, Pelosi, Reid.

Porter chop chop lets get to it! We've much work to do.

BTW you might want to go to IRS.GOV and check the brackets (bush tax rates) and then check into want they were before, and what the dems would have us pay.

So, Joe, I assume by your comments that you side with me in urging a constitutional amendment to eliminate the ability of corporations to buy politicians?

Constitutional amendments can be skirted.

Joe ... you are twisting the facts again!!!

(But what else can we expect ...)

YOU FAILED TO MENTION that 15 executive jobs were eliminated in the same re-org. You're claiming that this was political payoff. It looks like normal corporate reorganization when you examine the whole thing.

And, Joe, in your heated criticism of my post, I note that you fail to present any different facts.

Truth a little uncomfortable for you Joe?

You mean Obama's as---or more---interested in the welfare of the majority than a very small minority of the population. That's terrible! SARCASM>>>

This looks like yet another instance of "the new GOP front-runner" taking advantage of his position to show the American people how quickly and deeply he can insert his foot into his own mouth. ALL the previous "not Romneys" did the same, like clockwork.

W...T...F...?

God sides with the 99%, too. It is the moral and right thing to do.

Joe Kat - President Obama doesn't hide the fact that he is wealthy - he always says people like him, millionaires and billionaires, should do more, forgo the Bush tax cuts. The GOP's single minded goal is to protect the rich and their rich benefactors, even when it meant that those who needed that break to put food on the table might be taxed at a higher rate. It's hard to believe that any non millionaire would vote to put these greedy bastards in charge of the country. Especially when most of the "ideas" they are selling are schemes to steal important American rights in order to make a few extra bucks for the corporatists they shill for.

I don't believe you nuts are hitting President Obama as siding with the wealthy. Especially compared with "Money" Mitts. According to the Associated Press:

Just how rich is Mitt Romney? Add up the wealth of the last eight presidents, from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama. Then double that number. Now you're in Romney territory.

He would be among the richest presidents in American history if elected -- probably in the top four.

And FIFTY TIMES richer than Obama. (Who, by the way, had to pay off student loans after graduating from Harvard Law because he started with basically nothing - I thought you guys liked people who made it on their own hard work and intelligence?)

President Obama is doing his best to develop real energy independence. As long as we keep sucking down oil, we'll be dependent on those who have it and most of them are in the Middle East.

What's your solution, you geniuses!!

They have now gone past dog whistle politics!

They have so many uneducated Bigots backing their schill that they feel they can now say what ever they want out loud and in public!

The GOP = The AMERICAN TALIBAN!

Joe Kat - President Obama doesn't hide the fact that he is wealthy - he always says people like him,...

Makes you wonder how he became wealthy...college instructor, community organizer, couple of books that weren't so successful...seems fortunes turned for him after he entered politics.

And, Joe, in your heated criticism of my post, I note that you fail to present any different facts.

I presented facts...he is out west starting tomorrow for the lone intent purpose of collecting money from his 1%er friends...

Truth a little uncomfortable for you Joe?

Not at all.

I wonder when the people cheering realize they are not part of the 1%?

Wow Santorum...nice freudian slit...er SLIP...I mean SLIP...there.

What a jackass.

Obama's siding with the 99%? Wait... That's me. I'm in the 99%. Yaay.

Santorum is now polling at the TOP of the GOP! I guess when you say stupid crap like this, stupid people like it!

Isn't he required to side with the Majority.

You selfish people! Those who support the 1% don't do it because it benefits them; they do it on principle; because it is the right thing to do. The 1% carry a disproportionate burden of those who work for them, providing them with healthcare and retirement, all in exchange for making a measly profit from their labors. No wonder they prefer hiring labor in a communist country like China!

The 1% carry a disproportionate burden

Bull hockey. If that were so, they wouldn't have seen their wealth grow by 300% since Ray-gun while the rest have seen their wealth actually decline.

The Tea Party people buy into what Santorum is saying because they have had so much right wing media brainwashing inflicted on them that they now actually believe that they themselves will soon become really rich and join their fellow 1 percent brethren in rich land. Their philosophy makes them willing to endure being trickled down on by the 1 percent. In their reverential awe and worshipful adoration of the super rich the conservatives are unable to come to grips with the cold hard reality that they will never ever become rich, much less rich enough to join the 1 percent. Talk about living in a fantasy land, these folks take the cake for being gullible suckers.

#1.22 constitutional amendment to eliminate the ability of corporations to buy politicians?

Propaganda is free speech: even with your amendment, corporations are free to invest in works of "art", "literature", and "film" to promote their cause. The best counter to that is a vocal opposition, like the OWS protesters, who managed to re-frame the conversation, without spending billions on public relations and paid political advertising.

Well,noone has ever claimed that the tp'ers are chock full o' common sense. Any arguments FOR them? I didn't think so ;)

YOU FAILED TO MENTION that 15 executive jobs were eliminated in the same re-org. You're claiming that this was political payoff. It looks like normal corporate reorganization when you examine the whole thing.

15 other executives who probably did little else but draw breath and pay.

The University of Chicago Hospital hired her in 2002 to run "programs for community relations, neighborhood outreach, volunteer recruitment, staff diversity and minority contracting". Suddenly, In 2005, the hospital raised her salary from $120,000 to $317, 000 with no change in role or responsibility... just that her husband became a US Senator. The he immediately requested a $1 million earmark for the UC Medical Center. She took a LOA in 2007 but still collected over 60K. When she resigned, the hospital left her position unfilled.

I wonder when the people cheering realize they are not part of the 1%?

Sometime fairly soon after the Republicans/Teabaggers/Libertarians get rid of public education, public roads and highways, the EPA, finance and banking laws and regs, food and product safety laws and regs, social security, medicare, and eliminate work and safety, child labor laws and the minimum wage.

"God" made him tell the truth,LOL! Thanks God!!!

Where is Saturday Night Live with an impersonation of Rick Santorum in a condom cap wandering around clueless about America while spying on everyone else's wild sexuality.

So why is that a bad thing for someone to be for 99% percent of the voters? Rick is in DUH! land.

My husband and I call this the "Screw Me!" campaign - when you are in favor of a policy that is actually harmful to you.

"My husband and I live in subsidized housing. Take away that safety net! Screw Me!"

"I am diabetic and about to lose my health insurance. Down with Obamacare! Screw Me!"

"I barely make enough money to survive. Give the 1% more tax breaks! Screw Me!"

It's got potential. It's catchy.

It's true!

Like I said, Sanatorium's biggest enemy's his mouth.

couple of books that weren't so successful

Two VERY successful books. You should read them. You might learn something.

Now Obama has expanded his kingdom, he protects us, by selling 80 F15s to the Saudis, and decides, its best to put the girls, on the battlefront.

Those "girls" have died to protect your right to say such outrageous lies against our duly elected President of the USA.

Past time I know, but you go to ignore NOW LCS!!

We don't "wonder" at all...he sold a LOT of books...it's all there in his public income tax forms if you care to look at facts instead of imagining some kind of nefarious conspiracy theories.

Or digging thru the internet for yet another "authentic" Kenyan birth certificate, JUST DISCOVERED! Or, yet another tinfoil hat goober with "undeniable proof" that the long form birth certificate IS A FAKE!

Just a hunch...but, I'm guessing this makes it into Bill Maher's Real Time monologue this week, or maybe even New Rules! Santorum. What a dumbass!!!

S & M by decree

Are you trying to get me to vote for him. LOL!

For all you GOP azzhats here talking about how Obama SIDED with the 99%...

He's never denied that he's a millionaire. It shouldn't be news to anyone but you lot who put your fingers in your ears when you hear any evidence contrary to your narrow world view.

The other day, when he gave the speech about his budget proposal at that community college in Northern VA, he openly included himself with the rich folk of this country who would like a tax system that charges them more. You know, "fairly"?

Perhaps the GOP is brilliant after all.

SOMEHOW they have found a way to make blaming the helpless, cheering on bankers, ending civil rights, and paying the wealthy...

FASHIONABLE!!!

People proudly proclaim themselves members of the Republican Party, the Tea Party, the Conservative Christians who are too bunched up to even have a party, the "family values" party (and they only want to party in OTHER people's bedrooms)....

and somehow they believe they have all of the facts, know who to blame for their own economic troubles....and DEMAND more of the same sh!t they have been handed since the year 2000.

I guess propaganda really does work...especially when you have your own 24/7 station screeching it as loudly as possible.

no one ever said they were stupid. masters at manipulating the masses. constant projection. and people fall for it over and over and over....

Republicans would criticize Obama even if he walked on water... It is all about THEM, not about America.

I would never vote for This guy however the OWS need to learn how money works. They want their taxes cut for the 99% that is nice so to what? I paid just under 6% on 91K should I pay 3%?4%? The Government will never move you out of the poor or middle class it is all you and how you handle your money.

I am a social moderate and a fiscal conservative, registered as an independent. The plague of the republican party started with Reagan, who believed you could cut taxes to the point that you did not have enough revenue to fund the programs that were too popular for you to eliminate. trickle down economics has a long, recent history of epic failure. reagan cut taxes on capital gains and income but he ended up having to jack up gas taxes and other taxes that affect the poor and middle class more than the wealthy in order to keep the government from going tits up. Bush 41 ran a campaign on "Read My Lips: NO NEW TAXES!" He had to raise taxes even higher after elected because the math did not allow us to take in less than we spend. Clinton reduced income taxes across the board and from 42% to 39% on the upper earners. he balanced the budget. He reduced the deficit. The Dow went from 2800 to over 10,000. median incomes raised to the highest level in history. record low unemployment. Many say it was because Newt was in Congress, but understand that Newt or no other congressman ever had a history of turning around government. Clinton had done the exact same thing as a govenor. All these mealy mouths that claim it was newt don't realize the failures Newt was associated with in government since the 70's. So Clinton had a track record and Newt rode his coat tails. then along came GW. cut the top rate from 39% to 35%. Increased spending by exploding the size of government adding millions of government jobs in redundant agencies by adding the DHLS. Started 2 wars. Started rebuilding 2 nations we destroyed. was spending progressively more than he took in. The effect of this multiplied like compound interest. When the bottom fell out and the jobs stopped and the revenues decreased even more from a failed economy, the reults compounded exponentially and we ended up with the first 3 years of Obama's office looking like he was a failure when in fact it was the compounded effects of a confounded fool. Now we have Rick santorum, which sounds amazingly a lot like sanitorium and he obviously deserves to spend some time in one. Rick could not even hold his seat in congress in his State. He is a radical nut job and the American people are getting tired of radical nut jobs.

that settles it! rick sanatorium is officially the dumb male version of plain!

Two VERY successful books. You should read them. You might learn something.

Yes I did. That's how I learned that he abused drugs in his youth.

Yes I did. That's how I learned that he abused drugs in his youth.

Is that all you got from reading them? That's a pity.
