Obama Far Outraises Romney In Text Message Donations
Why is a deliberate strategy of outreach for capable women still necessary? The answer is networks. CEOs draw on their own networks -- the guys they went to school with, those in their clubs, in the gym, wherever men meet. That's the comfort zone.
Often, only a major crisis can make us abandon one set of beliefs and take up another. So maybe the only way to move past the economics of scraps is to make a full return to it, letting it lead us back to the precipice of 2008, and to step off into a new Great Depression.
On behalf of New Yorkers, I apologize, America. He's not typical. And he really spends most of his time in Florida.
Mitt Romney: It is time to withdraw your endorsement of Richard Mourdock. We can't go a week in this campaign without another out-of-touch politician showing his true colors on women's health issues.
Ann Coulter is just one of many. Her use of the word "retard" in recent diatribes against President Obama only echoes a prevalent notion that comparing someone to the mentally handicapped is a clever put-down.
I don't like uncertainty, and the current presidential polls are a hotbed of uncertainty. Fortunately there are veritable election oracles I can turn to instead: gamblers.
War is the inevitable result of global interventionism, but neither Obama nor Romney wish to put that issue on the table. Those that challenge the foundations of perpetual war are frozen out of the discussion by political elites in Washington.
Too many close elections are decided by the margin of eligible voter absence at the polls. Turnout matters. What's your excuse going to be?
One of the things that the wealthiest and most powerful of the insider special interests do to move their interests along is to drop things right before the election that the general public won't notice but that all the inside D.C. players definitely will. Jamie Dimon managed to score just such a deal on Monday.
How could Mitt Romney winning the White House be a good thing for the gay community? On the surface it seems totally counterintuitive, but a Romney presidency could be a golden opportunity.
One in 10 Americans has a personal connection to developmental disability. My connection is my wonderful brother-in-law Paul Boyle who is probably reading this with a frown on his face because he doesn't like the term "developmental disability" either.
The Foundation for Defense of Democracies has been given a free pass by the WSJ to argue for sanctions that will starve ordinary people, and for a new war based on distorted facts. We saw with Iraq what happens when the media turns a blind eye to the blatant distortion of reality.
Washington watchdogs are appalled by the sea of money washing over the 2012 election. The rest of the nation is appalled by how that money is used -- mostly on tit-for-tat attack ads that pollute the airwaves and undermine any respect for the democratic process.
Mitt Romney has made the "apology tour" central to his cynical and divisive push to "other" Obama, to define him in some way as "foreign" or not fully American.
If Mitt Romney wins this election, we the People in our wisdom will have validated that strategy, and demonstrated that we are nothing but our worst instincts, our fears and our rage, and that we deserve every horror a plutocracy will visit upon us.
Mitt Romney has the nerve to argue that his plan for the industry in his now-famous New York Times op-ed piece, "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt," was the plan that the Obama administration eventually did: a managed bankruptcy.
Mr. President, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain from following the lead of Cheri Bustos. In the Hofstra town hall debate last week, you referred indirectly to Bain Capital's reputation as a "pioneer in outsourcing."
Notwithstanding the worshipful attitude that most Americans have toward the Constitution in general and willingness to believe in the near-perfection of the Framers and their vision, most Americans, by a stable and very wide margin, would prefer a simple national popular vote system.
Donald Trump has the least transparent hairdo in the history of this country. There's never been anything like it. Sadly we know very little about the Donald's hair and he has spent millions of dollars on hair products to make sure it stays that way. So, I have a deal for the Donald -- a deal that I do not believe that he can refuse.
