I’m looking forward to the debates between President Obama and Willard. In this case Willard will deliver more gaffes, because we know that Willard can’t take the get in your face pressure and he is not the big thinker. When President Obama gets in his face, Willard will fold and panic with his nervous laugh.
Let’s all remember that Willard torn companies apart and fired employees leaving them jobless, and losing their homes at the expense of making money. He turned his back on those people like the cold calculated person he is. Not to mention the flip flop side of flop.
Curt- Really you compare an ex-governor to a sitting President, and want respect, Willard is his legal first name, he is the private sector, the HYPOCRISY never stops. When you start calling out all that disrespect our President, then I'll give credence to your post!
I think one point of attack Obama and the DNC should use is to make the point the the argument is not whether we want a "Socialist" vs. "Capitalist" system but rather what kind of Capitalism we want. Do we want a return to the era of the Robber Barons at the turn of the last century (and we're already well on our way there) or do demand Capitalism with sane rules & regulations to prevent the very few from comandeering the entire economy for there personal benefit while allowing the rest to scrounge crumbs that fall to the floor.
Interestingly, I saw a piece on MSNBC last night which showed footage of John McCain challenging Romney on this very issue back in 2008. Now he claims that he is a staunch supporter of him but back then he was taking Romney to task in the very same way that Gingrich & Perry are currently doing. Perhaps there is still more to this story to be written. I think Obama should hammer him on his failure to release his financial statements. I'd love to see what tax rate he is paying as compared to the average working stiffs.
Here are some other facts that Romney supporters don't like to hear. As governor, he raised fees on all licenses and permits, such as auto registrations, hunting, etc. That was a back door tax increase. He also left a $1 billion dollar short fall that the next governor had to deal with in order to balance the budget. And Romney is proud to mention that he balanced the budget every year. What he doesn't say is that it's the law in MA that the budget must be balanced. Every governor balances the budget.
Bain did, in fact, banckrupt companies, take profits out of them and left the bill for their unpaid pensions to be paid for by the US taxpayers. All of the above are facts.
Willard (Mittens) Romney, Rick Sanscrotum, and FigNewton Gingrich are three of the most devout Chickenhawks on the trail today. Obama could be included as well, but that will count later. These three circus clowns have no problem whatsoever talking tough, and vicariously waging war, as long as somebody else's sons and daughters are fighting and dying for their bravado ! Since all three are pre-programmed marionettes of the Military Industrial Complex, one need not look far to understand why they are even in the race at all. Bought and paid for ! The worst is the mindless, shape shifting robot, Willard Romney. He opted to sit out the Vietnam War while his peers were fighting and dying in Indochina so he could spread the Mormon message whilst living in a Palace in France and bicycling the French countryside, thanks to his deferments, courtesy of Mormon Church elders ! Disgusting coward ! In another time,any one of these three cowards would have pilfered a Titanic lifeboat seat from a woman or child ! Here is a link to the complete Chickenhawk list :
I should not have to be vetting these cowards and doing the Mainstream Media's job for them, but since they are owned by the USA'a largest defense contractors, the chances of them doing it are zero. There is only one choice to restore America to the great nation she once was, and that choice is Ron Paul 2012 !
I know that he wants a long and very bloody war with the evil citizens of Iran, which willl inevitably bring about WW3 and Armageddon.
In this difficult time there will be a fantastic amount of death and suffering among the American people. The bodies of our children and loved ones shall litter the streets we walk. But fear not my fellow Christians, they shall rise again. As our Savior Jesus Christ will soon return.
You're a Christian in you eyes only. Have you and other so-called Christians ever wonder what happens when the war comes and Christ doesn't...that it wasn't His time? Of course not. You are so blinded at your wishes for the end times that you are willing to risk a war that God does not want, sanction or justify.
I feel sorry for you because you have obviously not understood what you have read or heard. Christ speaks of people such as you. Read the Bible and you will certainly see it, you will certainly see yourself.
Mata, I suspect that "inappropriate prayer guy" is being sarcastic, the name should be a clue. But it does reflect how some self-proclaimed Christians revel and glory in the notion of a horrific future "end times", and seem almost ecstatic at the idea of someone being horribly tortured forever, simply because they didn't believe in the same way they do. That's the other side of Christianity, and it ain't pretty.
Bain saved more companies than had fail.......20% above the national average. Obama has even consulted Bain for information. They have a great record managing pension funds. They created 7 jobs for every job lost. Good record to stand on. The propaganda machine will have trouble with this issue......except with the simple minded who listen to rhetoric.
Jan 9th Wall Street Journal article...........Obama's biggest business deal before being President was buying a house...........at least Romney has leadership and business experience. Much better than community organiser and lecturing on how to distort our Constitution.
The only thing that could hurt him worse is revelations that he eats babies head first. He traded his political soul for money, and he is not able to buy it back from the devil now. Too bad, Willard!
His lying about what he did at bain will cost him the election.... His job was to make himself and his company boat loads of money.... not to create jobs.
Nothing wrong with making money just do not lie about it.
I am still looking for his tax returns, to see what is hiding there.
Your eloquent garbage is appreciated, That is to say your trickle down economics at its best as cure all. Do tell us how larger do we have to cut taxes for all these jobs to have to be created? GE pays no taxes most of the large corporations have one loop hole or the other, what is published as tax rates in essence is a mere ruse as they pay less than that. Take the banks for example they live on borrowing at 0% interests and lend at rates they please. Have you checked to see how when you deposit your own money in the bank the fees are more than whatever interests they add to your money and to some extent if you leave your money long enough your principal disappears and you end up owing them money. BTW could you tell us who thanked the US economy? Is it big government or big business, who was bailed out? If performance is the criteria, why would any CEO from big business aspire to come and fix government when he/she could not fix big business, are we that daft? that these inept managers are now the saviors of our economy. Will they now remove the loop holes, tax their colleagues so that we can cure the government and big business by balancing the budget that they siphoned off by not paying their tax due. Those who drove the truck into the ditch can now tell us that they are better drivers than the rest of us.
The arrogance of claiming to have created jobs by stripping Companies of benefits for their American workers to increase shareholder value, and outsourcing those very jobs overseas with cheaper wages to bolster profits of Wall Street shareholders selling those Companies.....is NOT job creation for the 99%. It's profiteering for the 1% at the expense of the 99%. Let's get it straight, Romney. It's not only Vulture Capitalism.....it's Socio-pathic Capitalism.......
Romney is a Liar whose about to get "schooled" by his own BS...........
I would love to vote republican. I am mostly conservative in my ways - don't spend more than you have, own a gun if you want, anti-abortion, work your way through life, etc. BUT I hate people that put money before everything. If getting rich is your main focus in life and you'll do anything to make it happen regardless of how many others you trample, that's when I get angry. If people want a job, even if they are not blessed to be talented, lucky, motivated, good looking or whatever, they should be able to get one and contribute. But when so few at the top take so much, there's just not enough to go around. Millions of people that once took pride in working for a living and taking care of their families are now suffering because of the greedy few that think of no one but themselves in the name of freedom and capitalism. And the rich tell them they are just lazy.
Bain is not gonna hurt Mitt as much as the moderate thing will. The TP will stay home in droves, Romney will lose and the TP wing will say "I warned all you moderates that its our way or no way". Thats how Cantor conducts business.
Think about it....Moderation vs. Economic Destruction. Which term is more alarming to the overwhelming majority of Americans at THIS point and time in our history????? Hello????? Is anybody home?????
Yes. To the overwhelming majority of Americans. I am talking about the hardline TP wing of the GOP. Enough will stay home to lose the election for Romney. The TP hates compromise. I can take Romney as our next president. He believed in Obamacare before Obama. He believes in civil unions. He believes in governing from the middle.
The TP demographic only accounts for less than 20% of the Nation. Does that sound like a majority to you??? What school did you graduate from teaching 20 per 100 (if the TP is even that much) was a majority????
Your assertion Obama is equivalent to Romney because they have both stood for SOME of the same things is ludicrous and naive. Because TP people are primarily Republicans in drag....they hope Obama is equivqlent to Romney. In reality, they're not equivqlent, as the 2012 election will confirm.....
Tony....Read what I said. I AM TALKING ABOUT THE HARDLINE TP WING in the GOP. Probably 30-35 percent of the GOP. If just 20 percent of them stay home to teach the majority of the moderates in the GOP a lesson then Romney will most likely lose.
You also have no idea what you are talking about when it come to the TP. They hope Obama is equivalent to Romney. What does that even mean? I dont think you know what the TP stands for.
20% within the 30-35% per 100%, "piece of pie", would mean the GOP STILL loses with EVERY single TP voter votes Republican, at best. In such a scenario, Obama wins 65%-35% against Romney.....at best. The TP voter aspired to believe they're new TP movement would convince the electorate the GOP had a facelift...becoming new and improved after the destructive electability caused by Bush/Cheney. However, as was already known, this would never, and did never happen. It did not fool the middle class electorate. Instead, the TP fractured the Republican Party further because Mainstream middle class America understood Republicans, with whom the Tea Party aligns itself, is for the 1% against the 99% economically. And this, my friend, is an electorate (99%) Republicans and Tea Party could never beat in this situation. The Republican Party has become obsolete in these economic times.
The Tea Party is (35%) within the GOP Party (35%) in the entire (100%) American electorate. Which means the Tea Party is half of the 35% electorate. 35%...no matter how you divide it....remains 35 per 100. Whether that half votes Republican in 2012 or not still means the GOP losses because Romney only gets 35% to Obama's 65%.....
Everyone conservatives and liberals alike need to have the discussion on whether or not all capitalism is good. There is good productive capitalism for our country and our working class and there is very unproductive capitalism who's only goal is to make money for the investors regardless if the company fails or not. What Romney and his buddies at Bain did and do is primarily the type of capitalism that caused the housing bubble and the financial melt down that cost our country over 8 million jobs. Banker, traders and speculators cost america over 8 million jobs and made record massive profits the next year, the jobs are gone but they came out on top with their pockets full of money. No one who is actually concerned about our economy and jobs should even consider voting for Romney.
There is "stakeholder" capitalism and "shareholder" capitalism. One seeks to benefit investors and the communities they serve in harmony. The other seeks to solely benefit Wall Street shareholders. I think we know where the Republicans stand. I think we know why they deregulated everything for Wall Street prior to the Market crash in 2008. I think we know why they invaded Iraq on the False Premise of WMD's while searching for the true premise of Oil with no Al Qaeda in sight after 9-11.
Republicans are stupid to think America isn't bright enough to figure it out.....
A lot of people have a friend or family member who was laid off from a profitable company just so the CEO could boost his own compensation. These executives are leveraging their relationships with their boards to extort far more pay from their companies than they're worth. As tangible proof of this, Romney took over profitable companies, laid off workers, and extorted millions in management fees, only for the companies to go bankrupt soon after. This kind of predatory behavior is not okay and I sure don't want someone like this running the most powerful country in the world.
Yep Romney's being employed at Bain should effect his credibility just like the young kid who was thrown out of the library a few minutes ago for making out with someone, hopefully that someone was a girl at least and he wasn't making out with himself.
It probably shouldn't (his work at Bain), but it will. It fits his image as a wealthy, uncaring, out-of-touch out-for-himself businessman, which is not something he can flip-flop on because he is.
Wealthy venture capitalists are giving Romney-care against losing the nomination to any other candidate. Birds of a feather stick together, and vultures are birds.
These are the "job creators" of GOP fame. They do inside jobs and walk away with the loot.

Think about it.
The man worked at destroying jobs in this country. And he made millions for doing so. Now he is lying about it.
His conservative values are shining brightly.
A vote for a right-winger is a vote against the American people.

Nice to see these so called capitalists defending Romney's pension bills to the American tax payers.
Prove it? Where did your facts come from? I would like to see the records from Bain Capital since you work for them.

Romney did his job at Bain and did it well. The Company had a 3-1 turnaround ratio. Wow would it be nice to have a President do his job well?
Obama's lack of employment before the 2008 election didn't hurt him. Romney broke no laws, was gainfully employed and paid his taxes.
Since he is refusing to release his tax returns, how can claim he paid his taxes?... paid any taxes?
