Former Staples CEO Stemberg Gushes Over Romney, King of Bain, on Fox and Friends
Ever since Mitt Romney’s opponents for the GOP presidential nomination started painting him as a ruthless corporate raider and vulture capitalist for his actions as CEO of the private-equity firm, Bain Capital, the Romney camp has been scrambling to spin that unsavory yarn into wholesome cloth. This morning, Fox and Friends hosted Thomas Stemberg, founder and former CEO of Staples (and originator of the idea of Romneycare, but you won’t hear that on Fox) for some classic Fox News Republican rehab.

The low information voters Stossel is “complaining” about are the very one Fox targets. Republicans seem to hope they’ll vote overwhelmingly for them and by doing so commit voter suicide by voting in the very people who would love to disenfranchise them.

My thought on this exactly, Yakki. Little kids are far more aware, intelligent and creative than most people give them credit for. But in the world of conservative parenting, children are to be seen and not heard.

In any case they (pretend to) miss the point, as usual. Aside from the hypocrisy of Bildo pontificating from the high moral ground when the slope he’s on is rather slippery, the issue is one of possible misuse of tax dollars and influence-buying. I suspect that if it was Olbermann who was under investigation the harpies would be sharpening their talons and hoping to feed off the carcass.
Oh wait. Republicans. Ethics. Never mind.

Dear Ct Jenkins,
In case you don’t understand Priscilla’s response, let me simplify it for you:
Taking responsibility for the lyrics does NOT mean that Kid Pan Alley wrote them.
“Kid Pan Alley founder Paul Reiser has taken full responsibility for the song âPart of the 99,â written and performed by third-graders at Woodbrook Elementary in October.”
http://www2.dailyprogress.com/news/2012/jan/09/group-leader-takes-responsibility-woodbrook-occupy-ar-1599225/
Now, would you like to retract your comment, or just leave it as is, as a monument to your apparent reading comprehension problem?

I kept waiting for Stine to spit a big gullier of tobaccy juice.
I see his Wikipedia entry says one of his “comedic” targets is “judgmental Christians.” Like the ones on Fox and Friends, Brad?

Some readers might find this interesting:
The Tea Party and Catholic Social Teaching Donât Mix
http://www.uscatholic.org/teaparty
Some excerpts: - Catholics are encouraged to put moral principles before partisanship, and the U.S. bishopsâ document âForming Consciences for Faithful Citizenshipâ has emphasized a broad range of issues for Catholics to consider before voting. The bishops warn against efforts âto reduce Catholic moral concerns to one or two matters, or to justify choices simply to advance partisan, ideological or personal interests.â
- Catholic Democrats, Republicans and Tea Partiers will all find aspects of Church teaching that challenge their political views in discomforting ways. However, the Tea Partyâs anti-government rhetoric and emphasis on individualism chafes against Catholic notions of solidarity and a vision for economic justice that seeks to balance personal rights with social responsibilities.
- The principles of just taxation encouraged by the Catholic social tradition are rooted in a positive vision for government and a healthy skepticism of unbridled markets. The radical individualism and anti-government ideology espoused by the Tea Party simply donât fit with Catholic communitarian values and Gospel commands to care for our neighbors, especially the poor and vulnerable.
- Church officials are unlikely to show up at a rally any time soon, but if they do, itâs safe to say youâre more likely to find Pope Benedict XVI standing in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street protestors than Tea Party activists.

Its pretty rich for FNC to pimp this position considering they are the prime purveyors of the Republican propaganda which massacres language on a regular basis to twist it to their own ends, and regularly employs a Republican wordsmith who is responsible for the phrase “death tax”, among others:

Whether or not a ’god" exists is irrelevant to the issue, really, IMHO. If a banner with religious content was erected on town property then it violates the establishment clause and should come down.
And as far as the “war on Christmas”, real or imagined, from what I’ve seen and experienced the only people who really take part in that are the self-righteous and insecure – on both the religious and anti-religious/anti-god sides.
I know plenty of atheists and religious non-christians who are happy to do the Christmas season thing in their own way, and plenty of Christians who are fine with “Happy Holidays” and avidly support separation of church and state. So there is no clearly defined “battle” except in the minds of a few, and it certainly is not as HUUUUUGE as Fox Noise makes it out to be.
As far as the science vs religion thing, there’s another phoney war for ya. They are only incompatible if you talk about fundamentalist religion vs dogmatic or “strong” scientism.
People on both sides of this phoney divide need to get a life.
