Romney’s Priority After Losing Election: Cancel Staff Credit Cards | Addicting Info
Welcome to H&C,,, where I aggregate news of interest. Primary topics include abuse with "the church", LGBTQI+ issues, cults - including anti-vaxxers, and the Dominionist and Theocratic movements. Also of concern is the anti-science movement with interest in those that promote garbage like homeopathy, chiropractic and the like. I am an atheist and anti-theist who believes religious mythos must be die and a strong supporter of SOCAS.

<Saying this with much acid dripping sarcasm I can muster> Well miss, we have a plan for that, it's called the ER. You see now little lady, an amblance will come pick ya up when you is not feelin well. It will plop ya into the nearest hospital. Where the fine, scientifically uneducated doctors, (who went to the Akin's school of medicine BTW) will bring your little ole fever down so you can return home and subserviently cater to your husband's every need. All the while pooping out young spiritual warriors for our grand cause!!
Romney took questions today. I was told that there was an open mic and that the media at the Romney event could be heard coordinating their attack questions for him. But we can’t find it. We’ve looked everywhere. I’ve been told it aired someplace, but we cannot find it. I wish we could. I would love to be able to play that for you, but we can’t find ‘em, the media actually coordinating their questions for Romney. It was the same question over and over: “Do you think you jumped the gun? Do you think you jumped the gun? How do you feel about jumping the gun? Why did you want to jump the gun? Have you jumped the gun on this, do you think? Are you speaking out too soon? Don’t you think you should shut up? I mean, you’re not the president. Politics ends at the water’s edge.” All of that stuff.Rush Limbaugh Calls Romney's Libya Disaster a Media Conspiracy to Protect Obama
Will Mitt Romney's hasty response to the deadly attacks on the American diplomatic missions in Egypt and Libya go down as the misstep that doomed his campaign to unseat President Barack Obama?
"In the face of such a tragedy, we are reminded that the world needs American leadership," Ryan said, managing a quick dig at the president. "And the best guarantee of peace is American strength." Obama Says Romney 'Shoots First and Aims Later' in Embassy Attack Comments
Obama, read Carney, also told CBS that "the situation in Cairo was one in which an embassy that is being threatened by major protests releases a press release saying that the film that had disturbed so many Muslims around the world wasn't representative of what Americans believe about Islam in an effort to cool the situation down. It didn't come from me. It didn't come from Secretary Clinton. It came from folks on the ground who are potentially in danger.
"And my tendency is to cut those folks a little bit of slack when they're in that circumstance rather than try to question their judgment from the comfort of a campaign office."
U.S. pastor Terry Jones, who had inflamed anger in the Muslim world in 2010 with plans to burn the Koran, said he had promoted "Innocence of Muslims", which U.S. media said was produced by an Israeli-American property developer; but clips of another film called "Mohammad, Prophet of Muslims", had been circulating for weeks before the protest.
That film portrayed Mohammad as a fool, a philanderer and a religious fake. In one clip posted on YouTube Mohammad was shown in a sexual act with a woman.
Jones, a pastor in Florida whose latest stunt fell on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, triggered riots in Afghanistan in 2010 with his threat to burn the Koran.
Many Muslims consider any depiction of the Prophet offensive and any depiction of him can cause outbursts of anger in the Islamic world and among Muslims in Europe.
"We're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers," Romney pollster Neil Newhouse said at a panel organized by ABC News.
It's called "fleecing the gentiles".
“We can pick out Elders in Israel right here who can beat the world at gambling, who can handle the cards, cut and shuffle them with the smartest rogue on the face of God’s foot-stool. I can produce Elders here who can shave their smartest shavers, and take their money from them. We can beat the world at any game.” Brigham Young 1858
Here is Mitt Romney’s response, when asked for help by local resident Jodie Chiarello, who lost everything and whose house was completely underwater: “He just told me to, um, there’s assistance out there. He said, go home and call 211,” said Chiarello. (In some states, 211 is a public assistance number.)
