    For you and Tal, it refers to Obots who didn't think it was fair that Obama couldn't use TOTUS at the debate.

    Ah, so you know why everyone does everything but I don't know why I posted my own words? You don't know the difference between screaming and wearing a t-shirt.

    Dude, I'm not excon and you're still ignoring the reason I gave for saying his base was clueless. I told you once so this time pay attention. My remark refers to this:

    This one I believe... Obama sucked because he wasn't allowed to use TOTUS.
    Anyone with half a brain knows use of a teleprompter is against the rules of a debate and use of a hanky isn't for cheating, it's for wiping.

    I rest my case.

    Romney was right...

    Abound Solar under investigation by Weld County district attorney; received $68 million stimulus

    LONGMONT, Colo. - A bankrupt Longmont-based company that received $68 million in stimulus money is under investigation by the Weld County district attorney's office.

    7NEWS has confirmed Abound Solar is under investigation.

    Abound made solar panels which it sold across the country, Europe and India.The Department of Energy approved nearly $370 million in federal stimulus money for Abound. The company received $68 million before payments were stopped in 2011.

    Sources tell 7NEWS that the company's finances are under scrutiny.

    7NEWS obtained internal documents from 2012 that show orders for tens of thousands of replacement solar panels. The orders cite different reasons for the replacements including, "low performance," "under performance" and "catastrophic failures."

    The orders are for replacements requested after the Department of Energy stopped stimulus money payments to Abound.

    "These are solar panels we are now seeing reports that said they worked as long as you didn't put them in the sun," said Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo. "Now the question is did the (Department of Energy) -- did they know something that the rest of should have known? Did Abound not tell the DOE something? These are questions that need to be answered."
    Mitt Romney: 'You don't just pick winners, you pick losers'


    Solar panels that work as long as you don't put them in the sun. Yep, that's another fine winner you picked Mr. President.

    What's there to talk about? Nothing has changed except the circumstances. Romney thinks the US should reimplement gunboat diplomacy, the way to revive the american economy, while a mild recovery is on the way. If you could talk success Romney would be a shoe in but, Obama has demonstrated in the last four years you can't do that. Look, either way, you are screwed. You have had ten years of the war on terror and Romney wants to intensify it, but you can no longer change things with a wave of your hand, once you exported your recessions, but having exported your industries, now you will feel everyoneelses' recessions and no amount of political rhetoric will change that

    Not exactly. There will be a small percentage of the population that are heavily influenced by the media. If this percentage were only representative 8 or 9 percentage of your constituency then it is still worth the effort to motivate them enough to ensure that they get out and vote in a close election.

    I would assume that the majority of the population are critical of the media and make their own decisions in terms of policy rather than believing there are a number of wars going on.


    I also think that we can start looking at a complicit media and start tracing it back from there.
