In September 2005, a senior Wal-Mart
lawyer received an alarming e-mail from a former executive at the
company’s largest foreign subsidiary, Wal-Mart de Mexico. In the e-mail
and follow-up conversations, the former executive described how Wal-Mart
de Mexico had orchestrated a campaign of bribery to win market
dominance. In its rush to build stores, he said, the company had paid
bribes to obtain permits in virtually every corner of the country.
The former executive gave names, dates and bribe amounts. He knew so
much, he explained, because for years he had been the lawyer in charge
of obtaining construction permits for Wal-Mart de Mexico.
“The real war on women is being conducted by the regime, by the Obama administration,” he explained. “Since Barack Obama took office, the unemployment rate for women has gone up from 7 to 8.1 percent. … The poverty rate among women rose to 14.5 percent last year, up from 13.9 percent when Obama was immaculated.”
Limbaugh continued: “If there is a war on women, it is happening and it is being directed from the White House with Obama as the generalissimo.”
Politico’s Josh Boak noted last week that job losses for women appeared to be worse than for men during Obama’s presidency because “[a]lmost 3.3 million men were fired during the George W. Bush’s last year in office, while the losses for women were more drawn out over time.”
As Rush continues to lie and act like there is no "war on women" being perpetrated by the right. He is actually projecting and trying to turn it around on to Democrats and President Obama. Straight out of the "Karl Rove playbook". Sadly some people will listen to him and believe it. As long as he continues his fictional reality people need to keep up the pressure on advertisers. My money is precious in these times like these as I'm sure it is with a lot of people and I have no problem not spending what little I have on people who continue to support his show.
I took the time and honestly gave myself a migraine finding every video and/or fact to show if this video has the correct timeline. I shouldn't have to tell you that Romney lies. I mean, if you look up the definition of liar in the dictionary you might very well see a picture of Mitt Romney beside it. But many people were doubting or questioning the timeline of the quotes used in this ad so out of curiosity and to erase all doubt I did the research.
It wasn't hard but it was tedious and mind numbing having to watch the Republican footage and listen to them lie and complain. I took a shot for all of you so you wouldn't have to suffer like I did. So here it is!
Additionally, Factcheck.org gave Romney a "four Pinocchio" rating on this very subject. http://youtu.be/AGgoVc3tfjc
Segment two:
Romney claims President Obama "has failed to communicate that military options are on the table". Romney makes these claims, to an 11 year old child, just hours after President Obama gave a speech to AIPAC stating:
"I have said that when it comes to preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, I will take no options off the table, and I mean what I say. That includes all elements of American power: a political effort aimed at isolating Iran, a diplomatic effort to sustain our coalition and ensure that the Iranian program is monitored, an economic effort that imposes crippling sanctions and, yes, a military effort to be prepared for any contingency" on March 4, 2012.
This one is too easy but here you go. Romney says President Obama hasn't passed tax cuts for the middle class. Again Politifact rated it "True" when David Axelrod stated:
"We passed without, frankly, the help of the Republican caucus, we passed 25 tax cuts last year, mostly aimed at the middle class and small businesses" on Sunday, January 31st, 2010 on NBC's "Meet the Press".
In President Obama's defense I'll just give you the link to the State of the Union but those are the clips from it in the ad. http://youtu.be/6Tlp9Gx4lfo
Segment seven:
Romney tries to make the case that President Obama "fundamentally believes that..that...that this next century is a post American century"during the December 15, 2011 Fox News GOP debate in Sioux City, Iowa. http://politicalcorrection.org/video/201112150016
I have a hard time fathoming why people aren't in the streets of Michigan protesting all of the extreme overreach their legislature has been pulling since 2010. Whether you are a Republican, Democrat, left, right, Independent, it shouldn't matter. When your own Government is in the wrong you should be speaking out against it.
You have a state Constitution which is supposed to be the law of the land and it is being abused in your name. Republicans want to paint President Obama as a dictator but he has not done his job in the fashion that Republicans in Michigan have done. Yet here we are, Republicans in Michigan destroying democracy. It's maddening to watch them take away your rights and it seems if you consider yourself a Republican it's okay because your side is winning. But this isn't a game and it has nothing to do with sides. Rachel lays it out for everyone to see. I hope you watch and see for yourself.
