Romney - The Nicole Sandler Show

The Undecided

Podcast: Play in new window I'd recently been pondering the "how could anyone be undecided" question as to which presidential candidate to vote for. Seriously. If you can't decide between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, you're really not paying attention. So, imagine my surprise when Bill Maher pondered the same stupidity on Real Time Friday night! And then SNL tackled the question on Saturday! Great minds, and all that... But at least one listener took issue with the general consensus that if you're undecided you're one of the dreaded Low Information Voters. (Except that I had to spell out [...]

Mitt Foreign Policy Fail

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120919_Nicole_Sandler_Show_-_The_Problems_with_Mitt.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window I had my fun yesterday with Mitt Romney's comment condemning almost half of Americans as moochers, deadbeats and drags on society. Today I turn my attention towards Mitt's foreign policy blunders. The same guy who offended our closest ally while in England for the Olympics and continued to show his lack of diplomatic chops while abroad stuck his foot so far in his mouth during the "secret tape" that it's a wonder he hasn't deep-throated his whole leg yet. A few of my key take-aways from the foreign [...]

Mitt Romney- Unfit to Lead

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120912_Nicole_Sandler_Show_-_Romney_Unfit_to_Lead.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window The photo above shows a smirking Mitt Romney leaving the podium after doubling down on his inappropriate and offensive statements saying that President Obama wanted to "apologize" for American values as protests against an anti-Islam film turned violent in Egypt and Libya. That is so wrong on so many levels I don't even know where to begin. So we'll start at the beginning. Yesterday-Tuesday September 11- according to this article in The Atlantic, tensions began flaring in Egypt about a little-seen film, apparently produced by an Israeli-American, promoted by [...]

Teachers & NFL Players with Principles!

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120910__Nicole_Sandler_Show_-_Teachers_and_More.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window For the first time in 25 years, Chicago's teachers are on strike. Good for them. As the mother of an eighth-grader who pulled her out of a supposedly good public school in Florida because their cookie-cutter teaching philosophy doesn't work on her, I wish teachers were given the proper resources with which to do their jobs. In Chicago, however, they aren't. They are dealing with overcrowded (and over heated) classrooms and are now being told their pay will be based on standardized testing that has nothing to do with [...]

A Tale of Two Cities – With the Split Screen

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120829_Nicole_Sandler_Show_-_RNC_lies.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window There's your split screen image for today. On the left, the photo tweeted by MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry with the description Feeling sad. #Isaac took the home @JamesHPerry and I just bought. All safe. House was vacant except for my dreams. pic.twitter.com/h62AkGPB On the right is the scene in Tampa, where people bragged about praying the storm away. Their party will continue tonight, as millions in the Gulf are fighting the elements to stay alive and keep what few possessions they have left. Today on the show, I gave an update [...]

Hurricanes, Truthers and the RNC

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120828_Nicole_Sandler_Show_-_Harry_Shearer_on_Isaac_and_New_Orleans.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window Isaac has just been upgraded to hurricane status and by tonight will likely be barreling down on New Orleans, as New Orleanians already prepare to mark the 7th anniversary of Katrina tomorrow. The US Army Corps of Engineers says the $14 Billion of taxpayer money was spent by shoring up the levies, and that New Orleans is safer now than it's ever been.. the problem is that that isn't saying very much. I reached out to Harry Shearer, best known for his comedic turns in Spinal Tap and The [...]

Like a Hurricane

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120823_Nicole_Sandler_Show_-_Like_a_Hurricane.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window This is the most recent image coming from the National Weather Service of the Five-Day track and "cone of uncertainty" for Isaac, still a Tropical Storm, but expected to be at hurricane strength when it passes by Tampa late Monday into early Tuesday. As amused as I might be by the idea of the gathering of horrific Republicans getting washed out a bit, I don't wish a devastating hurricane on anyone. And as the path takes it right over Haiti, I'm sickened for the people there. This morning [...]

Legitimizing Stupidity

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120820_Nicole_Sandler_Show_-_legitimate.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window Just when you thought you'd seen it all, another teabagger opens its mouth. Actually, we shouldn't be surprised that this asshattery came from Todd Akin. He was one of the many co-sponsors of 2011's assinine “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act,” a bill which, among other things, introduced the country to the bizarre term “forcible rape". And yes, Paul Ryan was a co-sponsor too. Actually, Paul Ryan has been at the forefront of a lot of anti-woman legislation, including a "Personhood" bill that would declare life begins at [...]

Talk to you later on the Randi Rhodes Show!

Another Primary Day, Another Shooting

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120814_Nicole_Sandler_Show_-another_primary_another_shooting.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window These days, it seems as if the shootings are happening as often as primaries. Yesterday another crazy person with a gun killed two people and wounded a few others before he was shot dead. And today we have primary elections in Florida, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Connecticut. Wouldn't it be nice if one of our elected officials had the balls to do something to get the guns out of the hands of murderers? Not much time for a lengthy post today, as I just got home from guest hosting [...]
