Rhode Island Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate: President Obama 'Can Take His Endorsement and Shove It'

President Obama spent his time campaigning for DEMOCRATS NOT REPUBLICANS DISGUISED AS DEMOCRATS! Why would he want to waist his time on some jerk who doesn't have the vocabulary or MORALS for that matter to come back with a better choice of words, just shows his lack of intelligence and respect. It's like that old story about the guy that gets rejected by some girl and he tells his buddies "she doesn't like MEN"! NO! A-HOLE! Why don't you get Sarah Palin to campaign for you and see "how that's works for ya"!

Republicans are science denialists.

Most republicans don't believe in plate tectonics either.

Its insane.

Why would anyone vote Republican???

sick of the criticism,
I can read, I can reason, and I'm not going to give Ms. Clinton credit for things that I haven't heard about. You can't assume that everybody is uneducated.

Gee, Caprio sounds so professional.

I can't believe people in RI are paying 7500.00 a plate to eat with Obama ...

Obviously all those people are rich Republicans who are part of the corporatist elite who run the country!!! /sarcoff

What's funny is you couldn't find enough Republicans in RI to fill the RI Convention Center period, never mind find that many who can fork over $7500. I wonder how many attendees are current or former state workers?

No, last Winter wasn't one of the COLDEST, it had record PRECIPITATION which is caused by moisture in the air which in turn is caused by WARMER THAN NORMAL air gathering moisture and then colliding with cold air.

Look, it's simple. Weather isn't climate, unless it can be spun to support the AGW story. Got it? Here are just a few weather events that are "consistent with AGW theory":

Excessive heat, excessive cold, droughts, floods, too much snow, too little snow, abnormally long stretches of normal weather, too many hurricanes, too few hurricanes, sea level rise, any change in the rate of sea level rise, volcanoes, tornadoes, earthquakes, record Arctic sea ice extent (record for 30 years, that is), but NOT record Antarctic sea ice extent, increased mental illness, depression, large poison ivy plants, weak shells in shellfish, strong shells in shellfish, etc. ad nauseum. See? It's simple.

There was no Tea Party during the Bush years because there were no trillion-dollar deficits and the federal government had not taken over the auto companies and the nation's health care.

Republicans are liars and will do anything to win. No to Republicans. Remember the 8 years of BS. Where was the tea party during this time of crisis?....... Vote Smart!

Obama did the same thing and helped make it possible for Lieberman to stay in office. It was pretty despicable then too.

I should have added, I wonder how long it will take for him to show up on FOX?

This kind of intemperate reaction shows this man is not fit for office.

"if you like your current plan you can keep it."

Knowing, deliberate falsehood.

To Democrat office-holders:

The reason we are going to rout you is that we made it abundantly, repeatedly and forcefully clear to you that we did not want Obamacare. You knew very well that we did not want it, but you rammed it through anyway. You are going to pay a steep price for your arrogance.

Our Greatest Smartest Clueless Leader pB0 did endorse a Dem, a Rep turned Dem, in Spector, and even tried to buy out a candidate to clear his way. Who said pB0 is not loyal?

Only he miscalculated, again, because his is a GSCL after all.

Dear race-baiters

Give it up. As liberals taught us, nothing about the Presidency is off limits.

Do any of you remember the treatment of George W. Bush? By the media? Or by anti-war protestors?

What happens if we want to hang Obama in effigy? Like was done to Bush numerous times?

I can't believe people in RI are paying 7500.00 a plate to eat with Obama, what about all the people out of work here who can;t afford to eat on a daily basis, there are no jobs, and people are losing houses daily how about helping out those people instead of the person who never has to worry about where his and his family;s next meal will come from, or will never be forclosed on his prize possession his home, Where was Obama when we all got flooded, and where is he when we all need jobs. Yeah that's what I thought!!!!

Just another person disrespecting the President .I don't care what you want to say about playing the race, no President has been so disrespected as this one I don't care how you want to spin it . He would never has said that about a white President .

I would not vote for him.

Ask the HRC about Obama. he will come take your money and say nice things, but then when its time for him to work for you....he gives it you! and not in a nice way.

Obama has a history of taking and promising things while pursuing his own liberal progressive agenda to spread the wealth.

There shall be no cap-and-trade in my lifetime.

 Forty-nine percent (49%) of respondents say they would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate, while 40% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent.

 Even more worrisome for Democrats, however, is the finding that among the voters who are most closely following the midterm elections Republicans hold a 56% to 38% lead. 

Eight days...

Perhpas Mr Caprio did not DESERVE the endorsement of an intelligent, classy individual like Prez O!! Based on this incident, and his very intelligent attitude, I wouldn't vote for him!!

"We had a record 9 heat waves here last summer." - Skip

Noz - Yes and last Winter was one of the coldest on record.

"Cap'n Trade dies next Tuesday"

It's far from dead, no matter what happens Tuesday. It'll be back, I guarantee it.

You are right. Cap'n Trade goes in to remission on Tuesday. Like herpes, it'll flare up from time to time but it will never be allowed to progress(ive) to a health threatening stage.

Yes and last Winter was one of the coldest on record.

"Cap'n Trade dies next Tuesday"

It's far from dead, no matter what happens Tuesday. It'll be back, I guarantee it. Just like the needle is going to keep fluctuating slowly upward on that thermometer on your back patio. We had a record 9 heat waves here last summer.

I live in southeastern Connecticut, so I get to hear the ads for both states. I'm a registered Democrat, but I'd be voting for Chaffee. I'm hoping Rhode Island voters are smart enough to tell Caprio: "Take your political career and shove it!" He and Linda McMahon would make a lovely couple.

@Skip

So you want to legislate profit margins in the coal industry?

Cap'n Trade dies next Tuesday. You need a new plan.

Meanwhile, we'll throw another lump of coal on the fire.

"Once it finally dawns on the public what polluters are getting away with cost-wise a price on carbon will be realized." Skip

That will never happen because Carbon Dioxide, CO2, is not pollution.

Another article you won't read on ABC:

Rep. Jim Moran, the longtime Democrat incumbent in Virginia’s 8th district, unleashed a firestorm of controversy this week when he disparaged the service of millions of troops and veterans. Moran diminished the value of their service by implying that the sacrifices and service our troops give while on active duty did not count as “public service” in the same way that elected officials are public servants. The statement shocked and offended millions of veterans around the country as well as patriots who all agree that military service is a more pure and essential public service than being a politician!

Moran was at a private meeting with other Democrats, deriding his opponent, Republican Patrick Murra, when he said this:

“What [Republicans] do is find candidates, usually stealth candidates, that haven’t been in office, haven’t served or performed in any kind of public service. My opponent [Murray] is typical, frankly.”

In reality, COLONEL Patrick Murray is a 24 YEAR ARMY VETERAN! A veteran with a decades-long record of defending our country deserves better! Let’s give Colonel Patrick Murray all the support we can muster!

He's saying the same thing lots of voters are saying. Too funny.

Ahhh...the Dictator Obama thinks he doesn't need the little dems no more. Hitler did the same to his supporters, used them, and then chewed them up when he was done with them.

What's with these politicians in the northeast? A Republican said he'd tell Obama to "go to hell" and now this yahoo is telling the president to "shove it". I'm not race baiting or playing the race card but it is pretty obvious that this president has been verbally abused, assaulted and disparaged more so than any of his white predecessors including Bush Jr.

"And your solution is to raise the price of coal"

I'm calling for putting a price on carbon emissions not artificially raising the price of coal, there is an important difference. It is the standard mantra of the right-wing that cap and trade is going to raise energy prices for consumers dramatically. For those who are genuinely interested however there are provisions in most of these plans preventing energy producers and other big polluters from just dumping most of the costs onto consumers.

INVASION OF STATE POWERS IS NOT.

WHY HAVE REPUBLICAN EVANGELISTS
VIOLATED THOSE WORDS?

fedup11. *. Unless you want a Greece, France, Portugal and UK meltdown brought on by socialism, you'd better get on board with limited government and policies that favor business (the private sector). "*** You DO realize that the crash of the U.S. economy (which was well underway long before Bush left office) was the main factor in the crash/decline of economies around the world, right? Oh, I guess you don't, since if you did, you would not arguing in favor of the same policies which brought this collapse about as a way to FIX IT. Duh.

I'm an Independent that voted for Obama. I just early voted -- almost straight Republican. That I said -- telling the President of the United States "to shove it".... That is over the top IMO.

WE, AVERAGE AMERICANS MUST
REALIZE, RICH CONSERVATIVES
LIVE IN A PRIVILEGED SEPARATE
CONTINENT, FROM WHERE THEY
CANNOT SEE OR DISMISS THE PENURIES
OF MIDDLE AND WORKING CLASS
AMERICANS. VOTING FOR A REPUBLICAN
OR ITS ALLIES, THE TEA PARTY IS LIKE
VOLUNTARILY SWIMMING INTO THE
JAWS OF A LARGE SHARK!

I agree BO should be loyal to his party mainly because they passed almost every stupid destructive idea his tiny tiny mind came up with. But he is a loser and has no business in that office making that kind of money. We are being seriously overcharged by this guy in the form of a salary. With his knowledge he should be getting 8.00 an hour for 25 hours a week. Reflecting the actual time he tries to do his Presidential duties.

IT SEEMS DI CAPRIO IS AN
INFILTRATED CONSERVATIVE, WHO
IS FAKING TO BE A DEMOCRAT. HIS
REPLY DENOTES LACK OF LOYALTY TO
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

PRIVATIZING SOCIAL SECURITY WILL LET BANKERS MANIPULATE BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS.

WHAT IF SSA FUNDS ARE "FORECLOSSED"?
FRANKLY THERE SEEM TO BE NO GUZRZNTEES OF THE SAFETY OF RETIREMENT FUNDS
UNDER THE REPUBLICAN PLAN. :(((((

IF THEY WIN, PREPARE TO SEE HOMELESS PEOPLE ON THE STREET, BEGGING.

Caprio shouldn't be endorsed by ANYone with that kind of despicable behavior. There were many different ways to handle his disappointment and the unprofessional comment would turn me off no matter what party candidate I wanted to vote for. BUT, he is getting good press! Those who 'hate' Obama are slobbering over this press release.

DO NOT BLAME PELOSI. WALKER BUSH\
DRAINED THE TREASURY WHEN HE CUT
TAXES FOR BILLIONAIRES. THE TAX
CUTS FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS AND THE POOR
WERE MINIMAL COMPARED TO THE MILLIOONS
THE SUPER-RICH GOT. BUSH ASKED
FOR THOSE FUNDS AND A MAJORITY
OF CONGRESPEOPLE PASSED THEM, THERDE
WAS LITTLE PELOSI COULD DO, THE PATRIOT
WAR WAS VERY POPULAR. BLAMING
PELOSI NOW IS TRANSFERING BUSH'S
RESPONSIBILITY TO HER. VERY
REPUBLICAN AND UNFAIR. WHEN WILL
THE CONSERVATIVES STOOP
POINTING FINGERS? WHO WILL THEY
ACCUSE NEXT? WE THE PEOPLE?

I find it amazing folks think the economic policies of the left actually favor its citizens. Unless you want a Greece, France, Portugal and UK meltdown brought on by socialism, you'd better get on board with limited government and policies that favor business (the private sector). None of which, you'll find from Dems. Big government can only screw up a situation; it’s incapable of fixing anything. Think Community Revitalization Act of 1977. It set the stage for 25 years of manipulating mortgage loans by CONGRESSS until it all crashed. I am not wealthy but I know self reliance can be achieved instead of becoming a slave to a too powerful government. Life is good, but only if you can keep the professional politicians and excessive number of bureaucrats on a tight leash.

Woulda been my EXACT statement to BO. Shove it.....rofl

SAY NO TO CONTINUED REPUBLICAN
GOVERNMENT ON NOV.2 OR BEFORE!
ULTRA-CONSERVATIVES ARE CHOCKING
US!!!!!!

TIME TO STAND UP FOR YOUR FREEDOM,
FELLOW AMERICANS !!!!!

Dumb move, Frank. I am a LIFELONG Democrat, and I actually considered supporting you, mainly for your history with the Big Dog in 1992. Now I'm definitely supporting Chafee. Besides, the way I see it, we need less folks who will just sign "every lefty bill" or "every righty bill," and will instead legislate what they think is right for their state without worrying about losing support from the Congress or their own party and whatnot. And they ought to do it with class.

I AGREE, INSTEAD OF CORRECTING
ITS OWN MISTAKES, THE GOP ATTACKS
PRESIDENT OBAMA AND AMERICAN
DISSIDENTS :( SO UNFAIR OF KARL ROVE.
LUCKILY HUBRIS LEADS TO FAILURE.
IT SEEMS AMERICA WILL KEEP ITS
DEMOCRATIC ALTERNATIVE SYSTEM
AND AVOID THE PRECIPICE OF
PERENNIAL REPUBLICAN RULE. :)

DI CAPRIO'S ARROGANCE DENOTES
HIS GUILT. IT SEEMS HE WILL
END UP AS A LIBERTARIAN OR REPUBLICAN
POLITICIAN. ANOTHER RONALD REAGAN?

WHAT DID DI CAPRIO DO TO MERIT
THE TREATMENT HE GOT? PRESIDENT
OBAMA'S SUBTLE REJECTION IS
PROBABLY BASED ON SOMETHING?
THE PRESS NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT
DI CAPRIO DID. IF BUSH HAD REJECTED CHENEY ON TIME, THE ENRON SCANDAL
WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.
