Romney predicts he'll retake Wisconsin for Republicans

 

JANESVILLE, WI -- Mitt Romney made a bold prediction in Wisconsin to open the fourth day of his swing state bus tour: he would steal the Badger State from the Democratic column this November.

"I think President Obama had just put this in his column, he just assumed at the very beginning Wisconsin was going to be his," Romney told a crowd of more than 700 supporters gathered on a factory floor here. "But you know what, we’re going to win Wisconsin. We’re going to get the White House."

Romney made only one stop here today on his five-day, six-state bus tour, and it might be for the best -- his campaign bus might not have seats for all the surrogates who came out to support him this morning.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney gestures during a campaign stop at Monterey Mills June 18 in Janesville, Wis.

There was Sen. Ron Johnson, who toppled Democrat Russ Feingold in 2010, and Reince Priebus, the Kenosha-born former Wisconsin GOP chairman who now leads the Republican National Committee.

"I got to tell you we have a little stimulus plan of our own and the stimulus plan is renowned by economists, like Paul Ryan," Priebus said. "Here is the stimulus plan: elect Mitt Romney, fire Barack Obama, and save America, right?"

But the loudest cheers weren't for Rep. Paul Ryan, the hometown favorite in Janesville and possible vice presidential contender; Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, the recent victor in a recall election who introduced Romney, who elicited the loudest cheers from the crowd.

“It is my honor to still be the 45th governor of Wisconsin and it is my honor to be on the stage with the man I hope is the 45th president of these United States,” Walker said.

Walker's retention in the face of a labor-backed recall challenge, has fired up the Republican base here. The governor emerged as a hero to conservatives after eliminating most public workers' collective bargaining rights. Despite sharp disagreements over the implications of Walker's victory over Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett (D) earlier this month, the Romney campaign's senior advisers say they plan to compete aggressively in Wisconsin this fall, if only to keep President Obama on defense.

Romney was also on the attack this morning, accusing the president of replacing a slogan of "hope and change" with a hope to change the subject away from the economy, and of being unable to run on a tepid economic recovery the president insists needs more time to catch fire.

"These are challenging times for Americans, and because of [President Obama's] failed record his campaign is having a hard time deciding what to talk about, because they’d like to talk about the economy, they'd like to talk about his record but you know, the last time his campaign slogan was hope and change this time he’s going with: we hope to change the subject," Romney said.

Romney and Democrats also traded charges of evasiveness in the speech and subsequent spinning from the Obama campaign, with a spokesperson for the president's campaign declaring Romney's speech to be packed with "evasive and angry rhetoric," and Romney accusing the president of trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the American people as he fought for more time in office.

"He tries to tell people that his policies are actually working, that its just taking longer than we had all been told—promised," Romney said. "And I can tell you that I know he’s a very eloquent person and he’s able to describe these policies in great detail and in some respects tell you that night is day and day is night, but people know better."

You all are so blind... You put Obama next to Billy Clinton, W Bush.... Well look at that contrast... being a leader hasn't been seen for 20 years. Half you dilholes have never actually seen a real leader so no wonder you think Obama cuts the mustard. Hell , the only thing he does cut is the cheese.

dal: Oh you mean that Obama shot and killed Bin Laden......give us a break, that DS (d as in donkey and not b as in bull) is getting old. YOU ARE A MUSHROOM................the Navy Seals killed Obama. Case Closed, End of Story.

Mountain: Please give some examples of the leadership of Obama. Please give me a break. Oh I see you mean like when he said this:

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a Sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. ...Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that 'the buck stops here'. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and Grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."

    Be vigilant: Whatever you may think of President Obama Good, bad or indifferent! Any elected GOP POTUS will be a carbon copy/clone of all GOP Governors elected in 2010, and want to complete the state of affairs they started. There is no recall for a POTUS. We could end up with a combination of Europe’s economy and the doctrine that was used between: 1939-45 during War II in Germany.

      With every passing day we learn how ill prepared Willard is for the presidency. He is incapable of having an opinion let alone a set of values that will reflect who is truly is.

      The little we have seen of him or even heard from him has shown us that he has been bought by the republican fundamentalist who want government in every aspect of our lives from who we love, what we do with our body, how we care for our poor,etc.

      Please America tell this man to take his money and go home.

              Hey, MacAttack, are you so financially well off that you can agree with throwing the rest of us scraps? Because if you are, you are no different from the idiots you support. I am a PROUD DEMOCRAT and that is because I will not allow some Republican, "God Fearing" Bigot to force his or her beliefs down my throat as you apparently have. I have compassion for the rest of the world around me. I feel hurt for the mother who work 12 hours a day with two jobs to support her kids and still needs food stamps and Medicaid because all of her pay goes to pay bills. I feel hurt for the elderly lady that I have driven to the Post Office to pick up her Social Security check and still has to pay high costs for her prescriptions. Just last week, I lost a friend to cancer because she lives in a state where they cut Planned Parenthood. No, Planned Parenthood doesn't only mean abortion. In addition, she had just been informed that her insurance had lapsed because she couldn't afford the premiums anymore. I resist anyone that dares to tell me what I can and cannot do with my body and I am scared for all of those young victims of rape and incest that will n ot be allowed an abortion under a Romney Presidency. I am also afraid for the ones that find out they are pregnant and realize they cannot afford the child. Where will they go? Who will they turn to? I am angry that my gay and lesbian friends are in danger of having to hide their relationships again because they cannot marry. I feel angry that my Hispanic brothers and sisters may have to look over their shoulder for fear of harassment. I am sickened by the attempts of the Republicans to suppress voting by blacks, Hispanics, the elderly, and our young people old enough to vote. I'm tired of the Republican need to destroy our environment and kill off species of animals and still have the nerve to say they are Pro-Life! They don't know the meaning of the term as they don't know the meaning of Right to life. And where Religion is concerned, they can stuff it up their rosy holes. Lastly, I'm sick to death of people like you that continue to blame the President for the problems of this country and continue to say he has done nothing when you know damn well that your wonderful Republican Party has stonewalled, voted NO, and filibustered every plan Obama has sent to them. My wish for you is that you get your head out of your ass, quit drinking the TEA, and come back to the real world!

              If God had wanted them to be better off HE would have done so, according to the always generous and charitable right wing christians of our nation. The GOP is full of them, so when they take over we will have, finally, the always effective "trickle down effect" that worked so well with Reagan, that great benefactor of the working class and the poor.

              So you are saying that it comes down to whose philosophy is shoved down our throats. I am a proud CONSERVATIVE that will fight to the end the lefts efforts to take away the right to believe as I choose and not some "scientific" theory that some atheist worships. I have compassion for the rest of the world as well as my neighbors which is why I continue to donate 10% of what little income I have because through my Church many in foreign countries as well as this one have received food, clothing, shelter and needed medication through the combined efforts of many Churches with little going to "administrators" I have compassion for those whose mothers now have to hold a job to support the family because of the inflationary policies of the liberal democrats. Fortunately I don't have to drive anyone to the Post Office to pick up their Social Security check because of electronic transfer of funds but I feel sorry for my elderly neighbor who died of cancer because all those idiot liberals withheld funds from Susan G. Komen because Komen with held funding from Planned Parenthood because they did not care to support an abortion clinic. And since Planned Parenthood does not perform mammograms that has fallen by the wayside. Of course now Obama is withholding funds from state health clinics that doesn't support Planned Parenthood which adds to still more illnesses going untreated. I am sorry for the children of some welfare mothers because the liberals reward them for having children then the mothers leave the children to raise themselves while the mothers party on their welfare checks. I am extremely tired of the left protecting those that enter this country illegally by allowing them to stay on the voter rolls even though they are not eligible. I'm tired of the outright lies the "progressive" liberals are spreading just so they can get free services and spend their time pursuing a hedonistic lifestyle subsidized by those that are actually willing to work. I am extremely sick of people like you that continue to blame the republicans in the congress for trying to practice some responsibility in stopping the spender-in-chief from turning this once great country into just another second rate also ran.

              My wish for you is for you to get your noses out of Obama's butt and actually think for yourself for a change.

                Rick you do not have to worship under Romney

                The Mormon Church has bragged the Book of Mormon is “the most correct book on the face of the earth”. Those words were uttered for the first time by none other than Joseph Smith himself on Sunday, October 28, 1841.

                I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.

                Hey, Rick, since you so vehemently support the people that are trying so hard to ruin our lives, how does it feel to know that other men are discussing what your wife can and cannot do with her VAGINA? Does it feel good to know that if Romney becomes President, young girls will once again revert to the coat hanger to abort an unwanted pregnancy because all of you "God fearing Christian soldiers" will kick your daughters out for not practicing abstinence. And how about those Republican sons and daughters that will have to hide the fact that they are gay. And I wonder about all those middle class and poor Republicans that will have to wait for all that wealth to trickle down to them. But then we mustn't forget all those poor Republican children that may starve because there will be no more food stamps and all that will die because there is no more Medicaid. And I can't stomach the thought of all those Republican elderly that will have to eat pet food because they don't have the money to buy anything else. I fear for all those Republican cancer victims that will suffer and die because there will be no Obamacare. Just vouchers. How about all those poor Republican kids that want to go to college. Damn, I guess they'll have to ask their poor Republican parents for the money. Too bad all those Republican cars will get ruined because of the poor roads and bridges in this country and those Republican kids will have to go learn in crumbling school buildings. It's also pretty sad that those Republicans kids will never know the truth about where we really came from and I wonder how spendy gas masks will be when all the clean air is gone. Gee, how about water filtration systems. Pity, too, that Republican kids will never see a live tree or any wildlife for all the oil and gas wells and no mountains either. They will have been blown to pieces for coal. See, anything that happens to us Democrats under a Romney Presidency, will also happen to you.

                  Under liberal democrat control no one will have to worry about what our sons and daughters will be forced to do under the liberal democrats because they potential parents will be forced to abort their unborn children. What few are allowed to be born will be forced into homosexuality,.

                  We will no longer have to worry about the middle class because there will be none if the liberals get their way. All that will be left is the poor and the elite consisting of the royal court of Hollywood and the New York top society. At least we won't have to worry about kids starving because the liberals will put them all into huge "schools" to indoctrinate them in to the liberal state where they are not allowed to think on their own.

                  And all that infrastructure, we won't need it because the liberals will tell us we have no reason to go there and forbid us from leaving a certain area.

                  We will gradually go back to the early 1800s because the liberals will divert all research to their "social" programs which will include unbelievably large grants to the arts and studying the mating habits of the Ukrainian Fruit Fly.

                    Walker was caught in campaign violations and deemed unfit to be the student body president of his college. Which by the way he did not graduate from.

                    Wisconsin has a governor without a college degree. Not much valued placed there on education or ethics anymore.

                    GOP's finest.

                          Most Wisconsin conservatives are kinda looney. Hell, most righties are. Dems really didn push the issue in the Badger state. Folks in Wisconsin ended up voting down an unpopular recall of a shady Gov. Walker won with help of a large republican turnout, but whats looney is that close to 20% of those conservatives said they would vote for Obama. Tell ya sumtn. Tells me, that 20%, dislikes Barrett, but they hate Romney even mor. Wow, teamwork. That 20% is probably 30% now, after Romneys stumblin and bumblin of questions on FTN. The GOP need to fear the debates. You think Obama ate dog wen he was young, he is goin to chew up Muttly Romney an cleanse him in our sewage system wher the GOP can pick em up at the end of the line, where you'll find Muttlys campaign.

                                  Did anyone watch mitt the job creator from heaven on bob schiefert sunday morning . I didn't ,but seen clips on Morning Joe on msnbc . Joe Scaurboro is a conservative by the way . And Bob scheifert is a non partisian journalist . He asked mitt questions about immigration ,and after mitt didn't answer the question 5 times bob got this response from mitt "That's something I'll have to ask my staff about ". My favorite question to mitt was What specifics would you do to create jobs and fix the economy . Mitt's answer " I'd have to ask my pollsters" . Man ,that sounds real presidential . I don't know if it's true but I heard MITT might not debate Obama at all . If this is true , the reason will be because neither candidate will know what questions will be asked . And mitt doesn't know how to answer a direct question that is derived from facts . It's a long summer ,gas prices are coming down ,auto industry is still picking up steam . Just wait untill THE REPUBLICANS allow student loan interest rates to double because of Boehner and Cantor's ,our way or the highway approach to problems . That will wake a lot of young people up ,and they won't be voting for MITT . The republicans are already losing the women vote ,the latino vote ,the black vote ,and the last I seen ,Obama still leads Mitt with the independent vote . So Repukes ,who's left to vote for you're GREAT WHITE HOPE ? It's a long summer. It will be funny to see the billion plus dollars spent by the right wing greedy scum bags only to see them lose . What the hell would they do then. I heard that Dick Cheney and Karl Rove are ressurrecting Black water secret Army TO TAKE BACK AMERICA. SEIG HIEL!

                                  Mitt had a hard time answering the questions, it was painful.

                                  But Mitt learned in his failed run for senate that revealing his ideas is kryptonite to his campaign, thus he will say as little as possible and hope people just hate Obama.

                                  Have you ever noticed how much Obama stutters and stammers when he is ask a question he does not have a pat answer for? No wonder his administration controls the questions.

                                    Of course he will take Wisconsin, and most of the other battlegrounds. Can you Libturds understand Mandate. Pretty much means you're going to have to get a job. Maybe you can work for your Mesiah on his dime? YA think? I'll just be happy to see you off the taxpayer's dime.

                                    Odumbo's BS has gotten too old and too lame. The snowball has a great start, the momentum is growing too fast and the freight train can't be stopped. Everyone sees the moron is so lazy he won't try to work (like most Libturd/tards) to get his ruinous initiatives passed like real presidents. He just goes against the Constitution by issuing executive orders so he has more time for golf, parties, hoops, luxurious vacations for Moochele and himself, fancy fundraising dinners and general all around f#cking off. I'd vote for Sandusky before I would ever vote for this lazy POS.

                                    Next domino to fall: The Supreme Court calls him out for ignoring the constitution with his lying Odumbocare mess.

                                      Uhhhhhh....You do know that Romney is the architect of Obamacare....

                                      That's pretty funny that right wingers are so intellectually inferior that they choose the architect of Obamacare, the thing they hate most in life but have no idea what it's about.

                                      No wonder we get candidates like this from the right, if your audience is clueless then you can sell them anything.

                                      Another Republican that can't get past the rhetoric laid down by other Republican supporters. These same people just love to accuse Democrats of being lazy and blah. blah, blah because they have been so brainwashed by the Republican Party or they drank too much TEA and are not allowed to sober up! Hey, big clue, Romneycare and Obamacare are the same! Oh, wait, you didn't get that memo. By the way, we all know what happened to Willard and his Pack of Rats!

                                      You mean to tell me that you got enough welfare to do all this. I don't think so. As with all libtards (especially your POS leader) lying turds are continously falling from your lips.

                                        Jerry funny you mention blacks. Romneys Mormon leader does as well...

                                        Joseph Fielding Smith: "That negro race, for instance, have been placed under restrictions because of their attitude in the world of spirits, few will doubt. It cannot be looked upon as just that they should be deprived of the power of the Priesthood without it being a punishment for some act, or acts, performed before they were born." (The Way to Perfection, p. 43).

                                        Hey, Jerry, F%&k YOU! How dare you make your bigoted, right wing assumptions about me! It's people like you that make this country what it is today; intolerant, racist, bigoted, and any other name you want to give it. I am no lazy ass! I have worked since age 12 when I helped my grandmother prepare, bake, and sell Spanish sweets. Now go ahead, assume I'm from Mexico cause if you do, you'll be wrong. My heritage is Puerto Rican and I was born in Brooklyn. I am sick and tired of Democrats being accused of being lazy and every other assumptions you bigoted, racist Republicans make. You all disgust me to no end with your LIES and INUENDOS about us just because we care about ouR country and the people around us. Cause we care for our environment and everything that lives in it. Cause we realize that from time to time everyone needs help. Piss on y'all! This is the United States of America, and we Democrats are determined not to see it become the Organized Republican Communistic Republic!

                                        If it's true that he doesn't want to debate Obama in a non-partisian fact filled open forum , and I heard about this several times now on the internet and news channels. Then how in the hell will Mitt be able to spin it. Mitt's not going to win wis. I wouldn't be surprised by around the begining of oct . that something will be dug up about mitt's swiss bank accounts or his accounts in the Cayman islands . I think America will find out that the liars personal wealth is a lot more than he proclaims ,and that he doesn't pay taxes on any of it . There might even be some bribe money in there some where . At least all Obama's baggage is already known . Mitt hasn't been totally vetted yet . We know of just about the lies he told us about. And after Nov. I wouldn't be surprised to see some high ranking congressional republicans get nailed for accepting kickbacks . So keep pushing republicans ,the clock is tocking.

                                            But President Ron would give him an audience and then council.

Why would anyone vote for a liberal democrat ... they will only raise taxes and spend more of your money. Are you people really that retarded?

                                                Walker got the budget without raising any taxes, unlike liberals who are financial retards.

                                                          I live in California and the state was in deep dodo long before Arnold came on the scene. And you are correct Soldon. Gray Davis was recalled. A democratic governor recalled in probably the most frigging liberal state in the Union. How was this possible? Because even many democrats saw the path the democratic party was taking. Now after Jerry Brown I expect another course change in the next govenor's election.

                                                            It does scare most of us from the workers who are now retired and payed out to insurance co.s with the assumption that we were pre-paying.We also assumed that the rest of our social security payments would last, but the government , taking it to fund and keep their budgets balanced ,sure fixed that delusion!

                                                              Guess who wants to privatize your social security?

                                                              You want JB Morgan who just lost $2 Billion in charge of the money you paid?

                                                              Neither do any other intelligent people.

Bet Obama's wishing he did more now. The voters of WI are stupid and deserve all the misery they have coming to them for keeping the college dropout in office.
