Thread: The REAL Bully

This is not how you use the Office of the President of the United States of America

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Governm...rivate-Citizen

While the corrupt Washington Post and its fellow Obama-media minions try to hold together their imploding story about what Mitt Romney might have done 47 years-ago in high school, on this very day a sitting President of the United States is publicly bullying and intimidating private citizens who dare donate to a candidate not named Barack.

Today's Wall Street Journal:


Here's what happens when the president of the United States publicly targets a private citizen for the crime of supporting his opponent.

Frank VanderSloot is the CEO of Melaleuca Inc. The 63-year-old has run that wellness-products company for 26 years out of tiny Idaho Falls, Idaho. Last August, Mr. VanderSloot gave $1 million to Restore Our Future, the Super PAC that supports Mitt Romney.

Three weeks ago, an Obama campaign website, "Keeping GOP Honest," took the extraordinary step of publicly naming and assailing eight private citizens backing Mr. Romney. Titled "Behind the curtain: a brief history of Romney's donors," the post accused the eight of being "wealthy individuals with less-than-reputable records............"

I am not sure what to think about this one.

I belive that all donors to political activities should be public. ALL OF THEM.

I saw the interview with the guy yesterday, seems he is fine. It looks like some people are going to start making purchasing desicions based on a vendors political affiliations?

I think this guy will end up getting more buisness than he initialy lost.

Funny they have turned the commentary to ( A vote against Obama is ANTI GAY)> Just wow.

So I don't know, The Obama machine is taking it to a new level.

If people want to make buying decisions for political reasons, that's their business.

But to be targeted by the White House, by the POTUS who is supposed to represent ALL the people is fucking criminal.

Talk about "chilling free speech".

Chicago thuggery. This is what dictators do. I can't believe anyone would vote for this hunk of human excrement.

Vandersloot losing customers....He should sue the Whitehouse. He has been slandered.

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/...gn_644393.html

Any Melaleuca reps in the house?

What do you think?

How was he slandered?

Full disclusure I have not looked at the web site or what was said about him.

If the full extent of the information is, (He gave a Million dollars) to Fuck Obama.com ?

To pay for TV add saying Obama is a pillow biter ? Then so what?

What’s the harm.

And yea the President getting involved at this level is a new low.
But I think we all know he, or those who work for him have cheapened the office in many ways.
They seem to think its all some kind of game.

I suspect that even now as they are the government, they still think that the US Government is some big Magic thing that cannot be damaged or harmed regardless of what they say or do?

I could go on and on.

The businessman says he's been accused of being anti-gay, an accusation he says that couldn't be further from the truth.

The Supreme Court has determined that money is speech.

Vandersloot exersized is free speech rights.

Obama is trying to punish a private citizen for using his first amendment rights.

I CAN NOT believe anyone would vote for this Anti-American pile of crap.

So to me all they have done is amplified his free speech by pointing out the donation.

The Statement that he is (ANTI GAY RIGHTS)? that may or may not be true.

Opposing Obama does automatically make one (ANTI GAY)

I want to see the list of donors to pro Obama organizations’.

I need a list of what products, movies and music to boycott.

On a ligher note, I just got back from da store, bought a BIG thing of Roundup. Gonna go out and kill a buch of green shit before it get to hot out.

Then I need to clean about half of my windows. then I am gonna go for a nice bike ride.

I like Preen. It's like birth control for weeds. That way you don't have to abort them after conception.

But wait....I didn't think Fundementalists took kindly to the concept of birth control.

Admit it AK. Obama's a thug.

Bullying private citizens is wrong.

Come on - You can at least see that, can't you?

Are you going to have a stroke when Obama is re-elected?

So there may be up to a three point differential and Obamas been trending down for what 2 years?

Does it make you walk taller knowing Obama's going to fuck over those damn rich folks?

FIFY

Registered voter polls are worthless so I took them out. The only reason they do them is that they help Dems look closer.

Only Likely voters matter.

So we are left with Romney +8

Romney +1 in a battleground state poll

And an old and biased (D) poll that shows a tie.

Considering undecideds break for the challenger 5 to 1, If the election were held today - lucky for you it isn't - it's Romney in a landslide.

Sounds great, your "serenity now!" has been noted.

Why does Rassy have such difficulty with congressional races? You have tons of races to evaluate the effectiveness of polling, so that should lead to a FAR greater level of accuracy, if in fact they are accurately polling. To put it another way, with a far larger sample than 30 the central limit theorem applies, and the variance of estimates from actual should decrease. With lots of opportunities to demonstrate his superiority, he should blow everyone else away. With one election, one of the other guys might get lucky, but with lots of elections the cream should rise.

You don't know what the central limit theorem is, but luckily Wikipedia is there for you.

If Rassmusen is in fact effective at finding likely voters, he did not seem to be able to do so for the numerous congressional elections in 2010. As I said before, if he techniques are valid, his accuracy should INCREASE as the number of trials increases, not decrease.

The other explanation, is that Rassy does not give a fuck about anything other than a POTUS election, and that is why his 2010 election results were so awful. As I said before, with valid techniques accuracy INCREASES, and variance decreases, with a large sample. He should be crushing everyone else.

Interesting that you know I wouldn't know about a statistical theorum. What do you think they teach people in college stats class? Basket weaving?

Spelling, for one.

I never had a spelling class in college. The last one I had was in 6th grade. I forgot a lot about 6th grade.

I do recall there was this big black chick named Shiela Smith though. She was the first girl to get boobs. (I think she was 17)

She wore a t-shirt the said "Feel Free to Feel'em". This was in the early 70's. They let her wear it!

But I digress.......

Pretty sure your college stat class didn't call it a "statistical theorum."

But what about the death of the poor weeds you had to put down until Preen was effective?
