Nadeem - good to see you again. You did however forget he earns $57K per day!

Regular old John Q. Public this douche bag is... lol

Nadeem and Feisty, two left wing idiots showing their stupidity

Will you look at that folks -here is sfcret who claims to be a moderate - too bad for the old sarge, his true colors ALWAYS shine though!

I totally understand your frustration & impotency, watching the Master Plan all slip away... ;o)))

Us socialsits are coming to take it ALL AWAY from you... lmfao!

Now crawl back under your bed... Gomer!

FEISTY; You go girl :)

SFCRET: I don't worry about someone "earning" 57K per year. I sure as hell do worry about that person not paying THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES but instead, hiding their money in offshore accounts.

And as for military service, Viet Nam, etc. Bill Clinton OPPOSED with Viet Nam war and yes he was a draft dodge and has said as much. Cheney, Bush, Romney & Gingrich SUPORTED the war and yet did not serve. Do you see the difference now? It's called HYPOCRISY. As for Willard's and his kids, Mitt sure loves to talk tough and claims that Obama is a wimp when it comes to foreign policy. So yes, I find it the height of hypocrisy that he has 5 able bodied, young sons and not a one of them in the miitary. Sure, we have a volunteer military which is why it is so unfair. Let's have a draft and then see how anxious Republicans are to send their kids into the meat grinder. FDR had 4 son, 3 served in the military IN COMBAT, and one was rather seriously wounded. That's called backing up you speaches with action.

Lastly, saying "everyone does it" when it concerns hiding income just won't wash. "Everyone" is not running for the highest office in the land. Kind of awkard, don't you think, to have a president who dreams up ways of screwing the government out of their fair share???

According to several media outlets including the Associated Press regarding Governor Romney's offshore accounts: all Federally required FBAR disclosure documents were filed and all taxes were paid. The accounts were not "hidden." And they did not shelter any tax.

CANDICE: That ain't the point. No one said it was illegal. What is legal and what is moral are two very different things. Poor people don't get to stash their money in offshore accounts and I think to allow a president to do this sets a pretty poor standard. Do you think that this kind of behavior is just fine, for the leader of the Free World?

And who do you think makes tax laws, poor people??? Middle Class people??? Hardly. The laws are made by rich people who hire an army of lobbyists and then buy the votes they need from Congressman.

Intrepid. If the accounts were truly established to shelter money and to evade taxes, I agree that would be wrong. Romney's accounts were reported to the Federal Government, however, (so he wasn't hiding anything), and taxes on that money were paid (so he wasn't cheating or evading).

Many rich people, and corporations, too, that place their money offshore do so to strictly to avoid taxes. That Romney could have but chose to disclose and pay taxes straight up, I think is more commendable than an issue.

Yes - you are absolutely right that tax laws are written by rich people - you'll find those rich people on the House Ways and Means committee.

I'll be happy if I see that Obama doesn't get a single vote tomorrow ...!!

...says sfcret in a snide and nasty way. The fact is that Mittens, during his last campaign said it was more important for America that his sons serve by getting him elected for President, not by volunteering for the military. That was disrespectful to those who put their lives on the line by serving...and sometimes being wounded or dying for their country. The fact that you say that you served in the military does not make your comment any more valid than anyone else's. So get off that.

Quit making excuses for Mittens. He is an entitled prep who has never had to struggle for a thing in his pathetic life. He has caused misery for those who had the great misfortune to be working for companies he sucked dry, and that people like YOU consider him to be the least bit Presidential tells us a lot about your judgment, and none of it good.

Nadeen - first off I'm no big Romney Fan - I prefer a number of other better candidates. It's awful to see your anyone other than McCain last straw be the possible nominee.

Romney is a tax evader (finding as many off shore tax shelter as possible to avoid paying US taxes)

Sorry, no different than the average joe going to wallmart. Only an idiot would pay more than they have too. On the other side of the matter - Because he knows how to pay the least - that makes him overqualified to be president.

Vietnam Draft Dodger going to France to avoid the war

Kept his sons from serving in Iraq

Seems to me a lot of Mormons get out as conscientious objectors - seems to me no one was really in favor of the war either to the point amnesty was offered after the war.

And is somehow the GOP nominee - what has become of the Grand Old Party

Not yet - this race is too volatile.

Hello, Newday.

How's your winter? Ours here in Illinois has been incredibly mild....and I am so grateful.

I have a question. If, by chance, Governor Romney is elected President, will you call him President Romney, or will you call him Mittens? No one expects you to agree with or respect the man, but out of respect for the office of the Presidency?

I'm not being confrontational. Just curious.

Newday is one of those left wing nuts that think the government or the rich owes him something or a living which he seems incapable of providing for himself. The left likes to use names like mittens or other pet names which only shows their lack of knowledge. As for Romneys sons not joining the military, that is their choice. Did you or your children, if you have any, volunteer to serve in the military and if not why not?

For your information Romney is not my choice, but I will support him and his right to run for the Office of President. I think he is more Presidential than President Obama is or ever will be. I further believe he has more business and political smarts than President Obama.

How is the "Hope and Change" working for you>? Are you better off now than 3 years ago?

sfcret -- You remind me of a snoopy neighbor who is so concerned about what others are doing she is clueless about what's going on in her own house.

That Romney is rich is not the issue. The issue is how Romney gained his wealth (at the expense of workers and the tax payer, and companies that actually produced something tangible), protects his wealth (loopholes and lobbying), and is so out of touch because of his great wealth yet pretends he is "everyman" (being unemployed, fearing pink slips BS).

Romney is the poster child for all that is wrong with the free market/Wall Street, and Gingrich is the poster child for all that is wrong in Washington and the cause for polarization. Enlighten us sfcret, et al, and tell us why voters (including you) would support any of these Posers.

If McCain/Palin had been elected, would you be better off now than 3 year ago - No. And if Romney or Gingrich could be elected in 2012, would you be better off - No. But really the question is if Bush/Cheney hadn't been elected would you be better of now? Yes, a resounding YES!

Lots of Envy going around here. Keep it up libs, you get no pity from me.

Galt-2012

You know, I do believe one of my pet peeves on FR is when the unknowing like sfcret tells me how I think or what I earn. Provide evidence sfcret, that I live off the government. It makes me laugh, because my hobbies are so expensive (show dogs and horses) that the government couldn't pay me enough. Plus, I am old fashioned that way, I prefer to support myself, and do it well. Having taken care of that, don't use your war service to say that you are more patriotic than Jefferson himself. You don't have a corner on patriotism, or military service, millions of people do it every day, including my father in law, who was wounded twice in WW II. I have a long history of military in my family, including an Irish forbear who was an aide to Washington, (the family papers include his mustering out papers, and he was wounded in the face and survived, a scar he carried throughout his life) I am eligible for the DAR because of it, but won't join because of that little flirtation they had with racism. But, generations of the women in my family HAVE been members. So, I guess, given that, I win the patriotism race, since my family fought in the most important war, the Revolutionary war. Having dispatched who is better, let's move on:

Yes, thank you. I am better off than I was three years ago. And so are you. Your President dispatched the greatest threat to this country, Bin Laden (remember him, the one that attacked us and killed over 4 thousand citizens on Bush's watch, the attack Bush slept through?) we finally have health care reform that has allowed my newly graduated son to stay on my health insurance, a benefit I pay for. (Threw that in, because folks like you lie about that.) and he turned the country around BEFORE it hit bottom with a Great Depression. What you aren't is smart enough to recognize it.

As to Mittens? He is not President, and I will call him what I want to call him. After the destruction of many people's livelihoods, which turned him into a very wealthy man, I have ZERO respect for the twit.

But I pay attention. Maybe you should too.

NewDay, your comments show that all kinds of people have all kinds of ideas and that is OK. But, when we start pointing fingers and blaming specific individuals, no matter what side of the aisle they are on, for things they specifically did not create, whether good or bad, then we have to take a step back and look ourselves in the mirror and maybe take stock of what we see and stop that behavior. Bush didn't create all the problems in this country, and Obama has had an occasional good day as did Bush, but neither of them created or fixed any problem that we have. This country has 2 parties and both parties have spent decades, if not centuries creating the mess we are in. And let's not forget "We the People" who have sat by and let these men and women continue to do what they have always done. This problem is a combined problem brought to pass by both parties and the electorate of this country. Until we are all willing to say that we are part of the problem, this problem and all of our problems will continue to exist.

I'm sorry that I cannot agree with you totally, floridamom. Reagan started the march to the bottom with the idea that helping the wealthy would "trickle down" to the working class. It was made a gazillion times worse by Bush Jr. who took it to unrealistic levels, and kept wars off budget so Americans would not know how bad our plight really was. There was some hope during Clinton's time, and Bush Sr at least had the honesty to know that we had to raise taxes, though it cost him his job.

I'm not as sure Romney will pull Florida off by that wide a margin. Gingrich may do better than the polls suggest with Romney already being declared the winner. That kind of declaring a winner before the contest discourages people who would have voted for the winner to stay home and the supporters for the person in second place to push harder than ever to get more voters to the polls.

Newday,

You still don't get it do you? In all of your babble above (1.17) you never said anything of substance. As for Obama killing OBL that is a crock of crap. You lefties want to give him credit go ahead, then you also have to give him the blame for more soldiers being killed in Afghanistan than under G. Bush. Why doesn't the MSN run their daily body count? You blame Bush for 9/11 because he had been President for 9 months, but you never mention the attacks on Americans under Bill Clinton. Why is that? Obama has been President for 3 yrs and has increased the national debt by more than 6 trillion dollars (more than Bush did in his 8 yrs).

As for Bush keeping the war cost off budget is nothing but a liberal talking point. The money for the two wars (I was against going into Iraq) was done by supplemental appropriations bills approved by congress.

BTW, President Obama did not even the stationing of troops in Iraq, that was done under an agreement between President Bush and the Iraqi government. If you check some facts, and quit spouting the left wing talking points, you will see that the Iraqi government turned President Obama's request to keep troops in Iraq down.

Again I wish the Republicans had better people running, but I will support Romney because I feel he will be better than what we have now. He has much more experience than Obama had when he was running against Hillary. I believe Romney, if elected, will bring both parties together and I believe he will not be a "my way or the highway" President as Obama has been.

We need to make this simple for sfcret. He cannot understand too much information at once.

Clinton's administration caught the folks that tried to attack the WTC. Bush told America to go shopping.

Bush kept the wars off budget and lied us into one. Why? Because he is a liar.

It is insane to suggest that Romney has more experience than Obama. Short of living in a Catholic country annoying people by trying to sell his religion as though he were a Fuller Brush man, he has been WRONG on everything he has suggested with foreign policy thus far.

Romney is incapable of bringing people together, he can't even bring his party together. Or are you ignoring that fact.

And I missed the source you were using to suggest that I receive government support. Care to provide it? Or would that be a "teabagger" talking point?

Been fun. I have horses to take care of.

Newday, You are not going to admit your information above is bogus. We are not going to change our minds. However, for your information about terrorists attacks during the Clinton Administration these are just the major ones:

1) 2/26/93 - Bombing of the WTC, 6 killed, 1,042 injured. The only reason it wasn't worse was the terrorist miscalculated the amount of explosives needed to take the tower down.

2) 10/3-4/93 - Battle of Mogadishu - 18 American soldiers dead, 73 injured, 1 POW. Clinton's response NONE

3) 6/25/96 - Khobar Towers bombed by Muslim terrorist - 19 US servicemen killed, 372 wounded. Clinton's response NONE

4) 8/7/98 - Al Qaeda bombs two US Embassies in Nairobi & Tanzania - 225 killed & 4000 wounded. Clinton's response NONE

5) 10/12/2000 - Al Qaeda bombs the USS Cole - 17 US Sailors killed & 40 wounded. Clinton's response NONE

There were several more, but I think you get the idea. Clinton's response was to treat the attacks as criminal not terror. Maybe if Clinton had done more to show strength against Al Qaeda the WTC on 9/11 might not have happened. Quit spouting the left wing talking points and learn something before commenting.

Sorry. I never post bogus information. Clinton had the exact correct response. It was criminal, terrorism is criminal, remember our "friend" Timothy McVeigh? He went through the criminal court too. For terrorism.

Our court system is quite capable of dealing with it, that is until Bush and company wanted to play military cop and change that. They were wrong. So are you.

By the way, every time you use terms like "left wing talking points" I automatically know that you are not a thoughtful erudite person. Grow up.

Still waiting for your source that I am on government support. Or an apology. I am more than a little tired of that insult from people like you.

Newday, No response for the terrorist attacks at #2,3,4,5 above. Tell me what was Clinton's response beside playing with Monica in the oval office. I understand why you left wingers can't respond, it's because you have no response. As far I the term "left wing talking points" that comes from the fact so many liberals on these post use the same thing and you all sound like a worn out record.

Goodbye and thanks for playing. You liberals are so easy to play.

My goodness, sfcret, you just aren't terribly bright are you?

Why didn't I respond to the nonsense you posted? Simply this. It has no bearing on the job your President is doing. Now, riddle me this: if you want to be critical of Clinton NOT responding, then you must be in ecstasies at the ability of this President to not only respond, but take out most of Al Queada, which he has done. But, if you want a response it is simply this: have someone read and explain the following to you:

Why didn't Bush Respond for the Bombing of the USS Cole. September 27, 2006.

Yep, not Clinton's failure, but the coward Bush and the criminal Cheney.

Now, do be a good boy and apologize, or come up with proof that I am supported by the government.

And remember, never assume anything about others...it may come back and bite you.

Newday,

You might want to check your facts on the date the USS Cole was bombed, but then facts never mean anything to you liberal wing nuts. FYI, the USS Cole was bombed on Oct 12, 2000, I believe Clinton was President. Showing your anger only tells me I am right about you. BTW I never apologize to those I don't agree with especially when they are wrong and only repeat what they hear from others.

Good luck with your horses and dogs and what ever else you are into,.

That is all I need to know about you sfcret. I always apologize when I have said something incorrect about another person. Anger? Hardly. Sardonic amusement? Absolutely.

The dog I am currently working with is a collie and I am training him to do therapy work, so that he can go to work with my husband, and visit the hospitals here, including the Veterans Hospital. It is important to give back to the community, a typical left wing liberal belief, and this particular dog is very talented, having gained his first credential at a year old. He also will be doing some novice work in obedience.

Service is important, sfcret, military service as well as community service. But, I must be off to the barn.

What a nice place to finish. Ask Palin or Beck.

Developer-controlled Media

The Villages developers operate three media properties:

Ideology,

Trust me on this one. You do not want to go to the Villages - ever! (Very scary place with lots and lots of blue hair)

So, Mittens joked about MEDICARE to the crowd of 'blue haired' folks?

..would love to hear that joke!

chilled,

We are talking VERY RICH old "blue haired" folks. And all the women remind you of Mamie Eisenhower.

e-gads, phine!

Mamie Eisenhower.....that's a good one....but very rich and still sucking up MEDICARE?..No problem, I only hope their payment is equal to their wealth, but of course they have all kinds of exemptions.

chilled

I bet these folks could give Romney's accountant tips! Seriously, the men all fade away in the backround, only talking golf quietly amongst themselves. But the women, ye gods! Freddie Krueger isn't half as scary!

That's odd Phin, the people I've seen at the Villages are very active and didn't have blue hair. Maybe we are thinking of different places.

People aren't happy with either of the two. - I say - WAKE up and move to the next one in line.

T O G, are you telling us that you were at Woodstock?

I still have the old vinyl album of Woodstock.

Would have loved to have been. Did see Jimi in concert twice. Would have seen Janis but got sidetracked by a wine festival on Lake Erie. Lots of old vinyl divided up between my 3 daughters.

Romney a draft dodger?

A new idiotic moonbat talking point.

Guess they are already tired of the stupid class warfare hate the rich mantra.

They will next try to discuss the Mormon religion until November...anything except the pathetic Obama economic record....

nadeem-1906025

Lets see:

Romney is a tax evader (finding as many off shore tax shelter as possible to avoid paying US taxes)

Vietnam Draft Dodger going to France to avoid the war

Kept his sons from serving in Iraq

And is somehow the GOP nominee - what has become of the Grand Old Party

I guess that covers a few things ..

No. A tax evader is one who cheats the government. What you see is someone who knows and understands the rules and follows them.

I think it is unfair of the government to set up rules for deductions so complex that the average person cannot read and understand so they end up paying more taxes than they should.

No. A tax evader is one who cheats the government

A tax evader is someone who evades paying taxes. A tax cheat is someone who cheats on his taxes.

Romney is obviously the former. He has enough money to hide. The reason most of us can't is because it's cost prohibitive to hide money offshore.

Not paying taxes may make him a shrewd money manager but also makes him unpatriotic and unworthy of the presidency.

Who else is there to vote for? In 2007, the republican party decided that Romney was unacceptable. In the 1990's, the republican's decided that Newt Gingrich was unacceptable. I still find these two unacceptable, but this is all the GOP is offering. Maybe it's time to check out the libertarians.

Glad I am not your uncle, you deluded moonbat

Thank you

FANCY: To some extent I agree with you in regards to coverage, even if the guy is a major league racist and somewhat of a weird old crank, some of his policies I agree with.

As for his running on an idependent ticket, I doubt that very much. He does not want to stir the waters too much as his son, another racist, plans on running in 2016 and should the old man split the vote for the GOP with an independent run, it would poison things for Rand.

Those multi-million dollar contracts wouldn't happen in sports except the media promoted it. Likewise the media is making the presidential race the way it is.

With you all the way, BigBen!

Patriots 31 Giants 16

Romney 31 Gingrich 16

Hey Bob......I'll write that down and see how you guessed......

I think you are being kind to Newt....

Gotta get Obama out with someone.....

Is everyone who doesn't fit neatly in the conservative ideology a liberal?

And Newt is such an upstanding trustworthy character.
