Top House Islamophobe ALLEN WEST FALLS!!!

One of Congress's top Islamophobes, Republican Rep. Allen West, lost his reelection bid to Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy early this morning. With 100 percent of votes in from south Florida's 18th district, Murphy edged out the Tea Party freshman West by less than 2,500 votes, despite lopsided fundraising. West spent more than $17 million to Murphy's $3.6 million, and both candidates poured money into ads that made the race one of the country's nastiest.

Latino Voters Poll: Obama Poised to Pick Up RECORD 73% of LATINO VOTE!

The latest Latino Decisions tracking poll has President Obama way ahead among Latino voters with a total of 73% of respondents saying they plan to vote for Obama, and only 22% of respondents saying they plan to vote for Governor Mitt Romney.

This latest Latino voters poll reveals the potential for a historic landslide among Latino voters in a presidential election. The highest percentage of Latinos that has ever voted for a presidential candidate since 1980 was 72% for Bill Clinton in his successful 1996 bid for reelection. Why do Latino voters poll so heavily in favor of Obama this cycle?



One fascinating analysis at The Washington Post acknowledges the role of immigration policy and Mitt Romney’s hard line immigration rhetoric during the Republican primary, but contends that two other issues may have done more to shape this electoral outcome: 1) Republican opposition to the Democrats’ health care bill, and 2) Mr. Obama’s appointment of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court over Republican objections.

Flashback: Jon Stewart - The TRUTH About Mitt Romney

November 6, 2012

A Court Clerk Indicates that Romney and Bain Capital Are ABOVE THE LAW

On October 24, 2012, an Emergency Motion in the recently re-opened eToys case was sent to the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware, petitioning the court to pay an eToys employee and address issues of fraud on the Court and Additional Acts of Perjury. A U.S. Postal Service receipt showed the Emergency Motion was received and signed for at 1:08 p.m., 24 October 2012, and according to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 79 says when a motion is received by the court, “The clerk must keep a record known as the “civil docket,” and must enter each civil action in the docket and assign consecutive file numbers, which must be noted in the docket where the first entry of the action is made.” The Motion should have been recorded into the public docket immediately when it was received by the clerk, but at the end of business on Wednesday it was absent.




After monitoring the eToys case docket entries for two days and discovering the Emergency Motion was never recorded or filed by the clerk, at 4:45 p.m. EST on Friday, 26 October, this author called the clerk to learn why the Emergency Motion was not filed as required by Rule 79. For 5 minutes the clerk feigned ignorance of the motion until alerting her that a Postal Service receipt noted delivery on Wednesday afternoon, at which time she acknowledged receiving it, but did not enter it into the record. Her excuse for not fulfilling her duty was that she sent it to the judge to review and approve before entering it into the public docket. At that time she was informed the judge received her own copy on Wednesday afternoon as per Postal Service delivery confirmation, and asked why the clerk needed the judge’s approval before entering it in the record. The clerk said in Delaware the judge often peruses documents prior to entering them into the record; she was promptly reminded that bankruptcy court is a federal entity and not beholden to arbitrary rules dictated by individual states or judges. At that point the conversation devolved into sharp retorts to further questions and when asked to give her full name for this report, she hung up the phone.




The judge on the case has been with the eToys bankruptcy since March 7, 2001, and it is not the first time she held up documents to benefit Bain Capital’s lawyers. In fact, the judge failed to remove lawyers despite mandated disqualification for failing to disclose conflict of interest and it is highly probable she has connections to Bain Capital’s lawyers who were on the Third Circuit bench that appoints bankruptcy judges. Apparently, being above the law is dependent on having friends in the judicial system and it begins to explain why Willard Romney escapes justice time and time again. Over the past few months, public records demonstrate Romney stays just outside the law in spite of several cases in which he should be investigated and prosecuted. MoveOn.org appealed to the DOJ to investigate him for contradictory SEC and FEC filings claiming he was, or was not, still head of Bain Capital after February 1999, and Romney and his son still are being investigated for their extensive financial and political ties to three men in an $8.5 billion Ponzi scheme through Solamere Capital and Solamere Advisors. He also avoided conflict of interest charges in Stage Stores bankruptcy, and Bain Capital’s lawyer’s malfeasance in eToys bankruptcy as well as failing to file a Transfer of Authority in Massachusetts when he was governor and still running Bain Capital and Bain Capital Investors VI. Now he is being protected in Delaware bankruptcy court by a judge who will not allow an Emergency Motion entered into the public docket that specifically cites him as a beneficiary of fraud on the court and additional acts of perjury.




Last month when a coal mine owner contacted Romney about a complaint filed with the FEC alleging “extortion, money laundering, and racketeering” against his company, he said Romney told him not to worry about it because “We get a lot of charges, this will go away.” In September wealthy campaign donor Sheldon Adelson admitted the investigation into his casinos by the Justice Department is the top reason for backing Romney, and it begs the question; is Romney’s main impetus for seeking the White House to appoint an Attorney General who will guarantee that all charges against him “will go away?” After the preponderance of accusations, perjury, and fallacious SEC and FEC filings and no prosecution and conviction, it may seem Romney is above the law, but as the public becomes aware that he is the most corrupt candidate ever to seek the White House, his day of reckoning cannot be far off and this author, for one, cannot wait to see his vapid, soulless stare as federal law enforcement officials haul his handcuffed arrogant self off to jail.

Still Undecided? Read Obama’s Letter To Girl With 2 Gay Dads (SNAIL MAIL)

Chances are that if you’re reading this on Addicting Info, you’ve already decided who you’re voting for in this election. But if you know of anyone who cares about marriage equality and is still sitting on the fence, please forward this article to them about a young girl’s heart-felt letter to the President about her two gay dads — and President Barack Obama’s warm response — as opposed to Not-So-Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney, who doesn’t even think gays should have the legal right to visit a sick partner in the hospital.


10-year-old Sophia Bailey Klugh’s letter to the president — which thanks him for his support of gay marriage and invites him and his family over for dinner — went viral when her proud fathers, Jonathan Bailey and Triton Klugh, posted their daughter’s letter on facebook.






You can read a copy of the original letter here:





Today, Stacy Lambe from BuzzFeed followed up with the president’s response, which reads in part:






Tomorrow, I will definitely choose the man who takes time from his busy campaign to reply to a young girl’s letter — because even his smallest constituents are important to him — than someone who summarily dismisses 47% of Americans.


You can read the president’s entire letter here:

Dems Want FBI To PROBE Jeff Flake Polling Place ROBOCALLS

Democratic officials in Arizona asked federal and state authorities late Sunday to investigate robocalls from Republican Jeff Flake’s Senate campaign that told registered Democrats to vote at the wrong polling locations.

Brahm Resnik of Phoenix television station KPNX first reported on the calls on Sunday, interviewing a Democrat named Mary Crecco and at least six other Democratic voters who received them. Crecco said she believed she was purposefully told to go to the wrong polling location miles away from the correct one because she is a Democrat.

But Flake’s campaign responded on Monday morning, saying it placed 120,000 robocalls this weekend targeting Republicans, not Democrats. A news release said campaign volunteers received fewer than a dozen calls questioning the information that was provided. In some cases, the statement said, adult children were registered at their parents’ address while in other cases voters had moved but had not updated their registration.

“Had KPNX provided us with detailed information on their report prior to airing it, we could have informed them that the Democrat they interviewed received the call because, according the voting records, she had the same phone number as a Republican who lives in the precinct we provided information for,” Flake said in the statement. “Again, this autodial was targeted to Republicans. Any Democrats who received the call (which in all likelihood was a small number) did so because of errant information in the database owing to circumstances like those detailed above.”

California Agency Says It Will Unmask SECRET DONORS Today

In the wake of a weekend order from the state’s Supreme Court, California’s campaign finance watchdog said Monday that it soon expects to reveal the names of donors behind an Arizona non-profit’s $11 million donation to ballot initiative efforts in the Golden State.

Ann Ravel, chairwoman of California’s Fair Political Practices Commission, said she expects to receive the names of Americans For Responsible Leadership’s donors at 8 a.m. Pacific time, according to The Sacramento Bee. From the newspaper:







Americans for Responsible Leadership, run by an unlikely collection of Arizona Republicans, had indicated Sunday that it would ask the Supreme Court to block the California order. But that request was withdrawn Monday.

REPORT: Bain Capital Used Dutch Loophole To DODGE A $100 Million TAX BILL

Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant and the website Follow the Money have today published a report detailing how Bain Capital may have been able to avoid $100 million in taxes by using the Netherland's tax laws.





The investigative report focuses on Bain Capital, where Mitt Romney was a key member of the management team until 1999, and its link to Dutch companies. Romney himself was still investing in the company until at least 2009, and appears to have received money from the group at a later date. The alleged tax route went as follows: Bain bought Irish pharmaceutical company Warner Chilcott in 2004, which was originally registered in Bermuda but had moved to Ireland in 2009 to avoid Barack Obama's tax crackdown. Two years ago, Bain registered its interest in Warner Chilcott with the private Dutch company Alter Domus. Under Dutch laws if a Dutch-registered company owns more than 5 percent of a company it is exempt from paying capital gains tax.


The total value of avoiding that tax is thought to be around 80 million euros, or $100 million. De Volkskrant reports that Romney himself was able to personally gain from the move, largely due to the fact that the majority of his income from Bain after 1999 came from capital gains.



The tax system described by the article is so well-known it has its own name, a ‘Double Irish With a Dutch Sandwich’. Here's a graphic the New York Times made to describe it.
