| A new anti-Mitt Romney ad from the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees features Richard Hayes, the garbageman who deals with the Romneys’ trash at their oceanfront mansion in La Jolla, California. Dubbed by AFSCME as one of the “people who make America happen,” Hayes talks about his laborious job, and criticizes the GOP nominee for not caring about the government-dependent “47 percent” of voters who the candidate believes won’t vote for him anyway: “My name is Richard Hayes, and I pick up Mitt Romney’s trash. We’re kind of like the invisible people.

Comments: Are you kidding me is right. You know you have reached a new low when even the author of this article mocks this dude. The regime is guilty of being trash. Good. Grief.

Speaking of trash, here is a link to an old, more accurate, AFCME ad (spoof) posted earlier by another Ldotter a few weeks ago. It's probably pretty close to the truth. Language warning!

I guarantee that the Romney family places their cans where they should be by the curb to facilitate pick up . Without any unauthorized extra bags or yard waste. I also bet they tip at Christmas.

Hey Mr. Garbage man, it's not Mitt Romney's fault that all the CEO positions at huge corporation, (for which we KNOW you are well qualified) were already filled and trash collection is the best job you could get. (with apologies to trash collectors who aren't ingrates working for unions). BTW, I agree with #7.

I'm crying my eyes out for this guy.
In my town, trash collector is a nice political patronage job. They rush through their route, are through early in the day, and get to go home early. It pays well, and has generous benefits. After a suitable time on this patronage perch, the trash collectors are moved on up, courtesy of attrition, to even better pay and working conditions.

I checked out the salary scale of 'Sanitation Drivers' in San Diego City, and depending on tenure, they make between $38,000 & $55,000 a year. Not bad work if you can get it... and these guys RARELY ever get out of the cab. The trash can pick-ups are done by a mechanical arm on the truck. I'm a native San Diegan, and I see how it's done.
The Obama campaign is SICK. Even the guys at Mediaite know it.

Invisible people? Actually Mr. Hayes, until the LEFTISTS convinced the USA that a college degree is REQUIRED to prove you is edumacated, Garbage Man was a career held in high regard. Good pay, home before 3pm(made for lotsa Dad's at games, plays, etc...).....but Noooooooo, lefty sc um had to get everyone in Womyn's underwater basket weaving degrees.....
You sir are invisible ONLY to the Left. To the Right, you are an important cog in the machine of civilization.

Oy vey. This tripe is beyond stupid. This union buffoon has the nerve to critize the Romney's. I'm sure that Mitt and company don't think that Mr Hayes is an invisible man. It use to be that a garbageman was a job to be proud of but thanks to the libdopes that is no longer the case. It just shows that the Odummer campaign is in full desperation mode and will always have a good supply of useful idiots.

I'm not a garbage man (I'll digress: why does he self identify as a garbage MAN? It hurts my feelings to know that women can never be garbage men...maybe we should all say "sanitation engineer" or something else gender-neutral. You know, to be fair.)
I never get hugs at the office. No one shakes my hand. I work, they pay me. End of story.
And can't you just see claims of sexual harassment if the garbage man was touched?

So marvelously said Dennis Miller on Fox New´s the O´Reilly Factor in a discussion about the Internal Revenue Service scandal Wednesday (video follows with transcript and absolutely no need for additional commentary): DENNIS MILLER: Nobody in the press is going to bear in on this. Let´s face facts: the American media is in an abusive relationship with Obama. They don´t quite know what to do. If you take the New York Times, you could refer to it as "Fifty Shades of Grey Lady."

On Wednesday, CNN anchor Jake Tapper dug into the controversial way in which members of President Barack Obama’s administration have apparently tried to intimidate whistleblowers in the government and the journalists that would investigate their stories. Tapper said that some, including the New York Times editorial board, have described the administration’s actions as “threatening fundamental freedoms of the press.” He warned Obama’s supporters to remember the precedent his administration is setting when a Republican next occupies the Oval Office. Tapper noted that the scandal surrounding the subpoenaing of Fox News reporter James Rosen’s personal telephone and email

The chief judge of the District’s federal court issued an unusual order Wednesday, apologizing to the public and the media for not making certain court documents widely available online. The gesture of transparency by U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth comes at a time when the Obama administration is under scrutiny for an unprecedented number of leak investigations, including one showing that the Justice Department had secretly probed the news-gathering activities of Fox News reporter James Rosen. The investigation of Rosen was first reported Monday, after The Washington

In some other universe this would be shocking. In this universe it’s par for the course, and I don’t mean the golf course, but the guy who makes the golf course his second home. The US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ronald C. Machen – the man responsible for the aggressive surveillance and phone record scrutiny at Fox News – is also a big donor to the Obama Campaigns. At the time of his appointment, the Washington Post wrote a profile on Machen including this tidbit: Over the years, he has donated $4,350 to Obama’s campaigns.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.
