Romney's Billionaires are getting nervous! Murdoch attacks Bloomberg demands he recant.

http://movies.yahoo.com/news/murdoch-bloomberg-declare-romney-blame-181139141.html

They are freaking out, folks. Murdoch actually calling out Bloomberg for endorsing the President, and telling him he has to recant NOW or he will suffer the "blame" for the next four years of hell.

It's like watching 4 year olds this week.. with Judd Gregg storming off the tv show, and the whining over the President's comment about "voting is the best revenge." They're losing it, folks.

demanding he re-declare to Romney. I hope both of those two look at that old phone hacker and thinks "haha, you have now power here, be gone before someone drops a house on you!"

I think Christie and Romney had a falling out. Romney hasn't mentioned Christie and vice versa. Forcing Christie's hand could result in some very damaging info being revealed.

He's too worried about his citizens. I think Murdoch and Romney have fucked themselves by pressuring him to play politics with people. I respect him for telling everyone to just shut up he's too busy for that shit right now. He's an asshole, but he's come through when he needed to, and for that, Christie gets some respect from me.

they know it's all fake,
that the $$$ can't possibly re-deemed
and that they pursue a course of destruction

but they can't help themselves.
they cant get away from the money,

they can't separate their self image from the money.

You see in Adelson, Murdoch, Romney, etc.

Imagine spending four or five decades,
successful,
money,
over and over,
continuous positive re-inforcement

you can't do anything wrong.

and then BOOM, the environment changes
and it's all draining away
like grains of sand

These... are the Days of Our Lives.

First, he lashes out at Christie. Now he's going after Bloomberg.

Both Murdoch and Trump are getting hard lessons that money doesn't necessarily buy you an election.

the excess money creation has to be wiped out.

Murdoch and Adelson know this, at some level.

I'm not sure how deep their perception is,
but they recognize that they MUST lose power.

It's the only way the System can regain equilibrium.

At their expense, and Mitt was THEIR firewall against it.

Everybody...dems and republicans (the normal ones) want the government to work together. Yet now, in this tragedy the president can't be praised???!!! I hope people are seeing that it's the republicans who won't play nice.

Geez...it was almost nauseating the way dems rallied around GWB after 9/11...but I understood the importance of that. Imagine if a big wig dem attacked dems in goverment for standing "shoulder to shoulder" with GWB!

he got his citizenship illegally, for his buddy the ray gun fast tracked his citizenship.

He needs to face a felony arrest/conviction and an immediate deportation to Australia, persona non grata.
