Hey guys, I'm tired of typing, so I'll just post my comment from the previous article..

Eveything that comes out of NitMitt's mouth is a pure contradiction of his previous contradiction. How's he going to last during a debate. Any question asked, no matter how he answers will be a contradiction of previous statements. As far as the economy, he's has nothing to say other than using a broad brush to descibe it. I mean, the Repubes could run "Joe the Plummer" and get the same results.

All O needs to do is re-run old Newt and Santorum ads and wait for the debates.

Sorry Pubes, but you got a real loser here. I think your strategy of ABO has come back to bite in the ass!!!

Obama/Biden 2012 (In a Landslide)

Feisty on Vacation MSNBC/First Read?

Aww. Someone's got a crush.

JoAnnaSmith1

any comment on Romney's selective information better known as lying?

why does Romney have to lie so much - that's right because telling the truth would eliminate votes.

Too bad Romney is still the guy who lost to the guy who lost to President Obama.

Romney 2012 - "I'll say anything to get elected - A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G!!"

Fixed.

I think it's starting to sink in with the Republicans that they don't have a winner in Romney. After all they don't love him, but instead thy put up with him.

Feisty on Vacation MSNBC/First Read

Why do yo?u care? People like yourself are always b!t(&)g about 'Redhead' being the first poster, now you have the honor and this is the best you can do?

You really should have saved yourself the embarrassment.

Does Romney really believe that his audience would believe anything he says. Every time he says something in contradicts the last position. Saying the President Obama is taking the Latino for granted is simply wrong.

Romney seems to be totally out of touch with reality when it comes to common people.

I guess I am one of the few who are searching for something he represents except the 1%.

GOP is the party of NO-COMPROMISE and obstruction, as per their pledge in January 2009. Don't kid yourself. This is the GOP/Koch party, how it is now.

R congressionals only act on behalf of the very top income earners and corporations.

FACTS ON THE DREAM ACT: Democrats voted Yes in the House to the DREAM Act. GOP House voted No. The Senate voted yes with 55 votes. Republicans blocked it.

...............................................

McConnell and co. demand 60 votes for every measure since 2009. Even if it's something GOP was previously for, they will voted 100% against if the President want to move it forward.

No price is to high for GOP...they are ready to RISK US AND RISK IT ALL.

Joanna dear, you're just as stupid if you believe everything (make that anything) that Mittens says. He's got a proven track record, which only a blind and deaf person could ignore, of being on all 3 sides of every issue over the course of his political career.

So, Romney thinks Obama is taking the Latino vote for granted? Since the GOP has done virtually everything it can to alienate and offend Latinos, why would Romney care about the Latino vote? He certainly isn't going to get many in November.

Romney is being self-contradictory. First he says that Obama was pandering to the Latinos by his immigration move. Then, he says Obama was taking the Latino vote for granted. If Obama had taken the Latino vote for granted, why would he need to pander?

The Obama ads are pretty good, and he needs to keep hammering Willard. Wow, it doesn't look like Willard will win any of his home states.

SayitaintSo-628660, my post was 100 times better than the crap she spew's on a daily basis. Don't be jealous.

Facts are out there on tape. Romney is a compulsive liar. He is on the record repeatedly, telling one lie after another.

But this President is consistent and honest. He cares about America, not just the top one-tenth of 1% of America as do Romney/Ryan/GOP/Koch/Norquist/A.L.E.C.

Any human being after years and years who carries around a seriously heavy load of information, will make a gaffe once in a while. President Obama is on-camera 24/7.

By any measure, no comparison between the two men.

Yet again Romney has no alternative solution to immigration because he won't admit he's against it. The republicans as a party always has been. He would order troops to the border. Why doesn't he just admit it?

I'll get right on dat JS1, just as soon as YOU SpitShine my Sandals, Oh yeah & Lick the Latrine Clean, with Your TONGUE!

You Betcha!

Occupy SoggyBottom!

What MSNBC is failing to point out is there were in fact 58 Democrats or liberal independents. If 58% of the senate is not a huge majority. Count the few liberal Republicans and they should easily have had the 60 votes necessary. However, five Democrates voted no, 1 did not vote, and 3 Republicans voted yes. If the Dems had their party voting in lock step like they do now, it would have passed the closure vote and passed. Harry Reid should never have allowed this to come to a vote without knowing that it was going to fail. They even failed to get the liberal Maine Republicans Collins & Snowe to vote for this.

Baby steps for Romney. I guess you cant ask for much. But i gotta give it to him, there are a lot of families out there where one out of the two parents may be resident and the other illegal and families are split when one gets deported. which means if that is the bread winner that goes, the rest of us pay for it... so, baby steps. But its been 6 days and still no response to Obama's decison from last week. Usually Romney only needs a few minutes to give a response and it really doesnt matter if the subject matter's details are not all in when he reacts to decisions by the president. And this is the "Leader" the republicans want? a guy who has to check with his handlers (that we cannot know who is funding his campaign btw) to give him his talking points and new policies

The way some states are trying to suppress the vote. Obama can't take anything for granted.

Mitt: Please explain the two years of HUGE majorities you claim Obama had in the House and Senate when two Democratic Senators were on death's door and the GOP took filibustering to an art form.

He may admit that he hasn't kept every promise. And he'll probably say that, even though you aren't better off today than you were four years ago, things could be worse. He'll imply that you really don't have an alternative."

Romney added, "I believe he's taking your vote for granted.

Mitt Romney never said that he had psychic powers. I guess he can also read minds, and tell people what they are thinking and what they should do.

Are we supposed to say: Yes master???

I know......lets try to really put some distance between reality (holders screwed) and fantasy (lmao Feisty fixation) geesus JAS you certainly did reach out and firmly push Rukens testicles into the nether-regions. I could feel the tension over the internet. LMAO! Going on 3 weeks of Mr.Obama hosed like a Deeeetroit vacant home!

Romney's lies will dog his steps all the way to his utter failure in November:

Note to GOP: Can't have it both ways.

Either Obama's recent ruling about Hispanics (no deportation if parents brought you, 5 constinuous yrs of residence, no criminal record) was politically motivated to gain Hispanic votes,

OR

Obama is taking Hispanics for granted.

Can't be both. Which is it?

Why didn't he remind them that back in January of 2012 he promised to veto the Dream Act, if he were president.

#1.20 - Possibly, but calling Romney a flip flopping compulsive liar is dead on target !!!! The only truth he has told in public since the race begin was something like - "100,000 dollars was just pocket change" - to him.

frank-1216711,

The Dream Act was an irresponsible piece of legislation. Why should the kids of parents that broke the laws be favored over those parents who have waited and obeyed our laws?

In the end, the bill, which has always enjoyed bipartisan support, actually got enough Republican votes to secure its passage. But the Democratic caucus disintegrated when North Carolina’s Kay Hagan, Arkansas’ Mark Pryor, Montana’s Max Baucus and Jon Tester, and Nebraska’s Ben Nelson all voted against ending debate on the bill. Meanwhile, some key Republicans voted for the DREAM Act: Lisa Murkowski from Alaska, Richard Lugar from Indiana and outgoing Sen. Bob Bennett from Utah.

Gee, Ruken, I wonder many of the many Hispanics and blacks in our military like being called rednecks. You really need to get your act together (and I don't mean your breast fixation) before you try to outdo your betters on either side.

MORE LIES FROM OBAMA....

"Running for governor, Mitt Romney campaigned as a job creator. But as a corporate raider, he shipped jobs to China and Mexico. As governor, he did the same thing: Outsourcing state jobs to India."

and how is that a lie since Romney has almost the worst record in job growth out of 50 states: 47 is not a good number.

The Democratic-controlled Massachusetts legislature sent Romney a budget with an amendment that "would prohibit Massachusetts from contracting with companies that ‘outsource’ the state's work to other countries,"

Romney vetoed the bill

Indeed, Bain generally held onto its investments for four or five years, in contrast to the quick bust-em-ups of real corporate raiders.

So Bain held on to Ampad for 6 years - long enough to raise its debt from $100+ million to $400 million. Long enough to finish it off.

It seriously feels like the posts on this site's political coverage have devolved down to a name calling session between Michael Moore and Glen Beck.

JoAnnaSmith1

Obama 2012 - "I'll say anything to get elected - A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G!!"

Even though JAS cannot respond since she was suspended for a month, I will still comment.

There is no candidate in the past, and present that has lied more than Romney. And when he doesn't lie, he will not answer questions until his puppet masters tell him when and how to answer.

How does an executive order that essentially enacts the Dream Act take the Latino vote for granted?! I'd say he paid dearly for it!

Hey Fiesty,

You know that I really want the GOP and so in this case, Romney to do well, however, I am afraid that the boy was born with a silver foot in his mouth!!

The only thing missing from this article is the disclaimer, "I am Barrack Obama and I approve this ad."

Romney says he can find some common ground.....meaning ...he will hire some more illegals for cleaning, mowing and taking care of the grounds around each home he own...!

Common ground indeed. That's is funny, he has no plan other than supporting the Ryan Plan and his statement "corprations are people." So what have we learned from Romney? He wants to destroy Social Security, Medicare, and replace the Post Office all with his rich friends corporations so they can make a bigger profit after they raise prices on everything and give worse service or none. Ryan plan gives Romney ove $700,000 tax break while you get a 20% hike and pay the taxes the rich would have been paying but won't. Cuts to food stamps and programs for the midlle class while paying for the 1% tax breaks. Why does he not have a plan for jobs? Because he is a job killer and his past work shows it. Repubs need to be investigated for trying to kill the economy so they can regain the whitehouse.

So lets start with the first day of President Obama's term when 14-15 repub politicians secretly met and pledged to vote against every bill to take the economy down all to make President Obama a one term president. Pledging to vote against all bills that would help the economy by saying they needed to act like the Taliban, to act like the insurgents do. This is the same plan that Bin Laden wrote to use as his master plan to take the country down and destroy our nation. Ryan, Cantor, DeMint, Gingrich to name a few. Gingrich is quoted as saying that meeting was sowing the seeds of the 2012 election. Ref: Richard Draper new book.

So repubs, you need to go after traitors who use the same plan Bin Laden did! There's common ground we all can believe in.

Going after Holder because the voter suppresion laws are illegal and he is not letting voters lose their voting rights......this is what the fake investigation is all about. Nothing more...nothing less.

The Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs (Cabot) to the Ambassador in Mexico (White)

[Washington,] August 12, 1953.

CONFIDENTIAL

Dear Francis: I was sorry not to have talked to you at greater length regarding the Department of Justice’s proposal to use Army and National Guard forces to stop the wetback traffic across the California frontier. Since I have every reason to suppose that telephone conversations between the Embassy and officers of the Department are recorded and since I do not wish the Mexican Government to know all the gory details about this matter, it seemed to me that we had better handle it by an exchange of letters, the more so as the Department of Justice will not act for some days at least. I should perhaps add that practically everything I said to you was aimed at the recording machine rather than at you.

I do not I am sure, need to tell you that the Department of Justice as well as this Department have been increasingly concerned at the enormous number of wetbacks who are slipping into the United States, nor do I need to point out to you how undesirable this traffic is. In California the situation has become particularly bad in that the wetbacks are resorting to violence and the people of Southern California are getting both alarmed and fed up. In other words, whether we like it or not something has got to be done about it. Interestingly enough, the same complaints do not come from Texas despite the fact that the wetback traffic there is also heavy. The Texas farmers seem to favor the traffic despite its inconveniences.

You are also familiar with the many representations which the Mexicans have made to us asking us to take effective measures to stop the traffic of wetbacks. It is true that the measure they have normally requested is that we crack down on the farmers employing the wetbacks. Practically speaking this is not possible for political reasons and, therefore, if we are going to do anything at all, it must be something else.

We recognize that the use of the military to stop the wetback traffic will almost certainly provoke incidents and that those incidents will react on our relations with Mexico. I am sorry that this is the case. Nevertheless any enforcement measures we take, or indeed any lack of enforcement measures we take, are bound to lead to incidents due to the tremendous pressure of the wetback movement. Under these circumstances and recognizing that we face a choice of evils, it seemed to me better to seize the bull by the horns, see how effective military measures could be on one section of the frontier, stimulate both sides to demand a mutually satisfactory bracero agreement and do what we can to convince the Mexican Government that our measures were at least in part due to their pressure. It was precisely to get the fairest possible opinion on the latter point that I talked to Brownell as reported in my memorandum of conversation of August 8.¹1. Not printed.

I would greatly appreciate a detailed expression of your views. Probably we could not stop the proposed measures even if we should make a last ditch fight of it, but naturally I should like to do what is right even if it is not likely to succeed. I shall therefore await your views with the keenest interest.²2. The source text bears the following handwritten postscript: “It seems to me pertinent also that the Mexicans are reported to use troops to patrol their side of the border.”

With every good wish,

Very sincerely yours,

John M. Cabot

Byron Raum -- Agreed. Just like the crap about leaking foreign policy. The president is already strong on foreign policy, just like he and the Dems are already ahead with Hispanics -- He doesn't need to pander. And if Hispanics want to see who is taking them for granted, they can look at who voted for or against the Dream Act.

frank-1216711

Why didn't he remind them that back in January of 2012 he promised to veto the Dream Act, if he were president.

Exactly.

Desperate measures for desperate times -- Romney knows that video of him saying he would repeal the Dream Act will be in ads in swing states with large Latino populations. Too late Romney!

lynseypug -- It's not an executive order. This is through Homeland Security. Try to keep up.

I am afraid that the boy was born with a silver foot in his mouth!!

Hiya Tex!

LOL!

Good to see ya! ;o)

Mr. Bait and Switch trying to convince Latinos they'd get a great deal in Romney's discount house? Been there in Massachusetts. The cupboard is bare. His only trick is that of the chop-shop, and that mentality makes for a lousy economy. Just look at the old Bush team he's surrounded himself with. Just what we need 4 more years of trickle down with a far right chaser. Makes my skin crawl.

I guess Obama's new and improved immigration policy is necessary in his opinion. After all, when Mexicans start streaming across the border because the Obama Justice Dept won't pursue them is only fair. After all, Obama armed the drug cartels. All those Mexicans caught in the Holder cross-fire need somewhere to run. But Obama didn't know anything about that. Sure he didn't. You probably buy that bullsh!t too, don't ya!

Isn't it interesting how NBC goes out of their way to make excuses for why Obama couldn't even bring an immigration reform bill up for a vote while he had full Democratic control of Congress - part of the time filibuster proof control?

Now ask yourself - could you even begin to imagine them doing that for Bush?

NBC isn't even pretending to be impartial anymore.

It's a game! So I venture to say Obama beat a Clinton and a McCain and he's a man of color. Romney is to lame to win.

It really doesn't matter what I think of Obama.

Suckas and players.
Pick a party. (R) or (D) ?

Personally I prefer R&D anyways. :)
I know I know "go back to sleep"

The waste in government is the constant tug of war between the two. Not its size.

Romney's right, Obama's taking hispanics for granted and republicans don't. Republicans vote against any bill that hispanics want but they don't take them for granted.

part of the time filibuster proof control?

I believe they had less than two months of that ability. Even so, the Democrats are not voting in lock step with each other.

When the senate did get 55 votes for the Dream Act, it was a futile attempt against the over used filibuster.

Both parties have effectively threw away four years of progress in favor of pissing each other off.

"Rukky, the coffee is getting low, be a gem hon and mix up another pot."

Thanks a bunch sweetie. Oh, and the bathrooms need cleaning, so get on that when you finish the coffee. The bathroom would stay a lot cleaner if your saggy breasts didn't smear all over the floor. Of course, a uneducated bitch that doesn't even understand failed supply-side economics probably doesn't qualify for much employment. No doubt why you need to be continually financially supported by others. You should go take BCA, he is aching to get his cock wet.

Ruken, BCA's probably wet enough you can spit it out now.

Harley Chic....wrote... "After all, Obama armed the drug cartels.". Complete lie. Program started during Bush term, that is so well documented, But YOU go ahead and lie anyways.....So you support the Romney plan of lying and saying anything which is the only plan he is using. Feel bad that Immigration is negative miggration now under President Obama? Feel bad that President Obama has already surpassed Bush deporting numbers of illegals?...........So you can't find anything negative about President Obama so you just make it up!

Ever notice how die-hard Obama haters like JoAnnaSmith1 who probably peaked in Kindergarten try to devalue hard work and smarts by calling educated people "elite" or dismissing their academic achievements as "Sumo Com Loudly"? Throw in their tepid praise for Mittens and failure to equally denigrate his accomplishments as a fellow Harvard grad and you have confirmation of a hard-wired disdain and intolerance for smart people of a different hue or race. "How dare they get so uppity", they muse over Jack Daniels and mayonnaise sandwich squares? It should come as no surprise then that a GOP party dominated by such biased ignorati, simpletons and pledge-lovers are ill-equipped to appreciate the complexities and nuances of effective governance of a Rotary Club let alone the presidency! Lummoxes.

By his positions on various issues past and present, Mr. Romney has proven himself more than qualified... to take the place of the circus contortionist when he or she goes on vacation. But not for much else.

Well I hate to say it but NOT only Romney is Flip flopping here the whole GOP crowd was it not just a while back these people wanted all the Mexicans sent back to Mexico, but now the realization is here that Wow it's over a few million votes that will be going for Obama, I'm sure those so called illegals will remember that one and really if the Democrats passed something on immigration during their majority the Republicans would be crying even more than they usually do.

Poor little roy wilson....the word "filibuster" seems to have too many syllables for him.

Roy - either you are dumb enough to be duped by the right-wing "he had huge majorities" propaganda, or you agree with being a deceitful liar. Which one would it be?

Poor lil star-sheep, can't make a comment without blaming Bush for something. lmao!

Bush is gone, get over it, move on. Past actions do not excuse the present failures of this administration.

:-)

By his positions on various issues past and present, Mr. Romney has proven himself more than qualified... to take the place of the circus contortionist when he or she goes on vacation. But not for much else.

gcooper - the fact that he can simultaneously stick his foot in his mouth while he has his head shoved so far up his bum should advance him to "Master of the Circus Freaks", don't you think?

Mitt believes he knows what President Obama is thinking. How utterly foolish. If Mitt could think like Barack he might actually have some potential as president.

The problem is that most NON Hispanics think we all are the same. Some dislike the term Latino some dislike the term Hispanic. Neither term bothers me though. I am part and part Native American.

Romney is to stupid to understand that. Obama cant pander to the whole Latino Community with one act or one piece of legislation. Some Hispanics are very conservative and some are very liberal. And most are moderate.

Mitt thinks grouping us all into one group makes sense. Call any Cuban a Mexican and they will surely get pissed off about it. Just as if you called a Newly Americanized British person a Russian.

Plus for the fear mongers the (Hispanic illegals are actually leaving under Obama). Cant say the same for many a Republican President. Including Ronald Reagan.<Amnesty>

TELL THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS TO PASS THE JOBS ACT.

Bill-2910238

What MSNBC is failing to point out is there were in fact 58 Democrats or liberal independents. If 58% of the senate is not a huge majority. Count the few liberal Republicans and they should easily have had the 60 votes necessary. However, five Democrates voted no, 1 did not vote, and 3 Republicans voted yes.

Harry Reid should never have allowed this to come to a vote without knowing that it was going to fail. They even failed to get the liberal Maine Republicans Collins & Snowe to vote for this.

Since when should the Democrats be held responsible for the failure of the Dream Act to pass???? It WOULD have passed had that incompetent bozo McConnell not filibustered the damn bill. Why couldn't the Republicans vote for it???? Some of the co-sponsors even rejected the bill. Having 55% of the Senate vote for the bill should be enough. Having 51% of the vote should be enough for ANY bill. But you damn obstructionists can't take it when the president gets a win. Crawl back to your dark caves until you have the balls to compromise and actually pass bills that will HELP the American people and are BIPARTISAN.

OBAMA BIDEN 2012

And by the way, while Romney was Governor of Massachusetts, the unemployment rate dropped from 5.7% to 4.9%.

Game over, Mr. President.

"For two years, this president had huge majorities in the House and Senate -- he was free to pursue any policy he pleased," Romney said. "But he did nothing to advance a permanent fix for our broken immigration system. Instead, he failed to act until facing a tough re-election and trying to secure your vote."

In 2008, Obama had promised Latinos Immigration reform and did nothing for them once he got their vote, now in a calculated political move he brings this issue up right before the election. He doesn't care about their issue, he is just using them as political pawns. Romney is absolutely accurate in the above comment.

Poor Latinos, with all that attention must be wondering whether Christmas this year will arrive a month earlier! It would be good however if this level of attention was applied evenly, throughout the year, and their positive contribution to society recognized and appreciated. The “bad apples” that stain the good work the majority are known for, should be taken care of in the appropriate way.

Romney has to pander to the right wing lunatic fringe, so what makes him think that any latinos will want to vote for him?

Willing.Sniper

And by the way, while Romney was Governor of Massachusetts, the unemployment rate dropped from 5.7% to 4.9%.

Game over, Mr. President.

Massachusetts during the Romney era benefitted from a healthy NATIONAL economy. Romney's job creation statistics as governor ranked him 47th among the 50 states. Why would we elect a governor from the lowest tier of governors to be our president?

The Romney (GOP) message to Latinos:

Please vote Republican in this next election, then calmly show yourself to the door... at the border.

Bumper sticker: Vote GOP then GTFO

Under Obama today;

MOODY'S DOWNGRADES 15 BANKS

Welcome to Obama's miserable downgraded America. How does this help "Latinos"? Hmmmm?

The only thing we Freedom Loving Americans and Independents can take for granted, is the Mitt Romney wants to turn all us Middle-Class folk into SERFS (yes! Serfs) so he'll have an Endless supply of warm-bodies to slave ungodly long hourly shifts, in the many corporative slave factories that Mitt Romney probably owns.

Mitt needs to steal more of our Money to Hide in his Swiss bank Accounts and in his "shell-companies" that he operates in the Cayman Islands. Remember Mitt pays only a 15% Tax rate 'cause of his bogus Tax shelters. That's not just wrong, that Un-American and Non-Patriotic. Shame on him.

Let's teach Mitt Romney and the Republicans a Lesson they'll Never forget: Vote a straight Democratic ticket come this November 2012. You'll be Glad you did.

Some Real Facts About Mitt Romney We Won't Hear From The Lame Stream Media
About The 'Real' Mitt Romney!

After going to BOTH Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School simultaneously, he passed the Michigan bar, but never worked as an attorney.

As a venture-capitalist, Romney's first major business deal involved investing in a start-up office supply company with one store in Massachusetts that sold office supplies. That company, called
'Staples', now has over 2,000 stores and employs over 90,000 people.

Romney or his company Bain Capital (using what became known as the "Bain Way") would go on to perform the same kinds of business miracles again and again, with companies like Domino's, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Warner Music Group,Dollarama, Home Depot Supply, and many others.

Got your calculators handy? Let's recap...

Volunteer campaign worker for his fathers gubernatorial campaign for 1 year.

Unpaid intern in Governor's office for 8 years.

Mormon missionary in Paris for 2 years.

Unpaid Bishop & state President for his church for 10 years.

No salary as President of the Olympics for 3 years.

No salary as MA Governor for 4 years.

That's a grand total of 28 years of unpaid service to his country, his community and his church.

Why?

Because that's the kind of man Mitt Romney is!

And, in 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity.
Almost 19% of his years income.

Obama gave 1% !!
And, Joe Biden gave $300 or .0013% !!!

The first time Obama brought the Dream Act bill to Congress was right after the election in 2010, and as usual the Party of NO did just that NO they will not pass any bill on immigration reform. Romney needs to either get his facts straight or just quit lying. This guy is so out of touch, I was watching the Ed Show and they had a clip of Romney sitting around a table in a little dinner, he asked if he could have one of those chocolate treats that were on a plate, guess what the chocolate treat was A DONUT!! The guy doesn't even know what a donut is, and if anyone thinks he knows the middle class, you are the ones that are out of touch.

Willing.Sniper Mormon missionary in Paris for 2 years. Was that not during the Vietnam WAR. here from an article by Dee Blase

by seeking and receiving four draft deferments according to Selective service records. Romney was of age to fight for our Country, but sought deferments instead. As a veteran of the United States Air Force, and as a female of the Armed Services, I will not vote for Mitt Romney. How can a man who “claims” to love our Country seek deferments in order to fight for her? by Dee Blase

starsailing

Romney says he can find some common ground.....meaning ...he will hire some more illegals for cleaning, mowing and taking care of the grounds around each home he own...!

and then he can use them as a tax deduction along with the dancing horsie.

Of course that will happen immediately on Novemeber 7, 2012 becuase he won't be running for president for Pete's sake -EVER!

but he claims he wanted to be there instead of eating frog legs, and baguettes. Doesn't that count for something?

On top of that he would love for his 5 sons to fight in Afghanistan but they are too busy serving their country by TRYING TO GET MITT ELECTED!

Obama 2012

Famous Racist supports Democrats. How does this help "Latinos"? Hmm?

Thursday because white supremacist David Duke has endorsed a leading candidate in the Democratic Party's primary race for a New York House seat.

David Duke endorses leading New York Democrat, diversity

But this President is consistent and honest. He cares about America, not just the top one-tenth of 1% of America as do Romney/Ryan/GOP/Koch/Norquist/A.L.E.C.

Yeah, that's why he was in Hollywood with all the 1%'ers instead of in Wisconsin supporting fundraising for the recall. Although he did tweet "good luck" to the poor union workers.

. Romney was of age to fight for our Country, but sought deferments instead. As a veteran of the United States Air Force, and as a female of the Armed Services,

Why hasn't Obama served in the militray? ( because he is worthless!)

No salary as President of the Olympics for 3 years.

No salary as MA Governor for 4 years.

That's a grand total of 28 years of unpaid service to his country,

hahahahaha, and Romney did it out of the kindness of his heart hahahhahahahaha.

Do you know why Romney's approval rating was in the 30s when he left his office as gov of Mass? It's because the last year in office, he spent traveling to make political connections for his 2008 presidential bid (which he lost, by the way).

Nothing Mitt does is for free and everything Mitt does is calculated.

Wow, you are naive....

About Mitt's donations: well maybe it was his conscious (hahaha) speaking to him at that time, you know feeling bad for making millions while thousands lost jobs and life savings.

I'll bet it made a nice tax deduction, too....although we won't know becuase we haven't seen Mitt's tax returns so you don't even know if he really donated anything.

Obama's not a liar? Come on now he can lie with the best of them!

Willing.Sniper

Why hasn't Obama served in the militray? ( because he is worthless!)

so you must think really low about Romney then - the guy dodged draft like 4 times - at the time Obama was like 9 years old!

How about AWOL George W Bush. Any comments on him?

bayllie I hope you did not take my post out of context. It was part of an article by a Lady named Dee Blase.

I agree that Mitt Romney has no place in the Oval office. As even Stated by many His CHURCH comes before his JOB. And I am sorry but I for one do not want the LDS leading the USA. Romney is a sociopath opportunist. In my book, that is why he cant keep on topic. He is to busy trying to look good. And do good for himself that he just does not get it.

Middle class America is the Backbone of this Nation. And Trickle down economics does not work. Not in a Global economy. Everyone says he is out of touch. I say he is just out there period.

I am a registered "Independent" (with a capitol 'I').

Supposedly, if you can believe the political pundits, it is the "Independent voters" who Mr. Romney and Mr. Obama are battling to persuade to their favor; the voters who will tilt the balance in November.

For me, as an Independent voter, the most remarkable thing about Mr. Romney's campaign is that for the past 2-years-plus I have not heard a single utterance, not one phrase, not one sound bite from his lips ... which did not have a profoundly negative, cynical, condescending or derisive edge to it!

I'm not sure I can take four years of that type of rhetoric emanating from the Oval Office of a Romney White House, on top of the daily, purely negative flow of caustic vitriol from the US Congress.

Why would ANY American favor a candidate who has shown a complete inability to take even a single day away from a "Scorched-Earth" campaign of pure negativity in order to tell us what he actually believes in, what his vision is for America during his presidency and beyond and to persuade us that the content of his character is not merely cynicism, vitriol and condescension?

I, for one, would really like to know.

This is the funny thing with some people using Romney's record. When they talk about health care (and Romney implemented the plan from which Obama created the law) they claim "It may have worked in Mass but it was not for the nation, and when they talk about unemployment they say "It worked in Mass so it should work for the nation." Get your act together, people.

Can somebody explain to me if we fire all the government workers that we have in excess to reduce our deficit (and there are, I am not disputing that), where are we going to put them if we are not capable to create the opportunities for them to transition from government work to private work? Because those people that the goverment dismiss will end up collecting unemployment who will have to be subsidized by who? Yeah, the government... Please, can somebody give me an idea without political ranting and finger pointing? Is it too much to ask?

Hard to point out any deficiency's with Obamas record, here's Mitts. Let's see which is worse a preson who doesn't join an all volunteer army when no war exists or one who avoids being drafted during war time?

Though an early supporter of the Vietnam War, Romney avoided military service at the height of the fighting after high school by seeking and receiving four draft deferments, according to Selective Service records. They included college deferments and a 31-month stretch as a "minister of religion" in France, a classification for Mormon missionaries that the church at the time feared was being overused. The country was cutting troop levels by the time he became eligible for the draft, and his lottery number was not called.

President Barack Obama, Romney's opponent in this year's campaign, did not serve in the military either. The Democrat, 50, was a child during the Vietnam conflict and did not enlist when he was older.

Obama's not a liar? Come on now he can lie with the best of them!

Why don't you provide some specific examples.

To Willing Sniper

. Romney was of age to fight for our Country, but sought deferments instead. As a veteran of the United States Air Force, and as a female of the Armed Services,

Why hasn't Obama served in the militray? ( because he is worthless!)

Ok then so both Candidates did not serve in the Military. That would make them each have an equal footing on the topic. Yet Romney at the height of A major USA war dodged the DRAFT!!

Obama did not dodge a draft at all. And has served almost Four years now as Commander and Chief of all branches during TWO wars and at the time Osama Bin Laden was killed. By our troops under his command. I suppose you forgot that the President of our Nation.

Is the top dog of our Military while in office. Higher than 4 star Generals.

But ok yeah lets vote in a DRAFT DODGER Named Mitt Romney.

Buckle up boys and girls, the obot First Read Czars are coming out of the woodwork. Ban baiters abound, with their juvenile name calling and idiotic talking points. You can't get through, unless you are a jackazz whisperer. Obama has failed, he does everything opposite of what any effective leader would do. Painfully obvious this was done to attract the Latino vote. Straight up. Rob Peter to pay Paul, and you'll have Paul's vote everytime. They probably don't even realize, they will be paying for this, gotta get more money in the till. His arrogant past is biting him in the butt, he puffs out his chest to chastise people, and then videos turn up of him doing the same thing, duh.

Ban baiters abound, with their juvenile name calling and idiotic talking points.

Sweetie,

I am not sure if there is medication out there to help with your obvious paranoia - but - I would suggest YOU seek some professional help & soon! ;o)

You DO know what they say about the mind being a terrible thing to waste!

Lay down the crack-pipe and prove you have something to worth-while contribute...

Otherwise - you come across as just another troll who managed to climb out from under their rock to dazzle us with your Obama Derangement Syndrome!

November is all the medication I need, Obama will be sent back to Chicago with his tail between his legs, he is a coward, and I can't WAIT for the debates to start, no teleprompters and an opponent not willing to fall for the bully tactics, and that will make Obama come unhinged. Obama's mentality comes from Chicago, and that place is a cesspool.

Point number 1. White trash is drawn to Obama , like flies are to crap. Point number 2. I lived in Orlando from 85 to 05 and now the town is run by Pureto Ricans , what more do they want, the latinos run miami , tampa, orlando , and most of California, New York, and New Jersey , I guess they want the rest of us to move and find another country, the Whites in this country dont stick together like they use to they have become a bunch of passive cowards.

And who was taking the Latino Vote for granted when he made and end run to the Right and hacked Governor Perry off at the knees for supporting instate tuition for undocumented youth who graduated from Texas High Schools and wished to attend Texas State College? (Actually made be feel bad for Gov. Perry) And who was forgetting about the Latino vote when he clearly stated during the GOP Primary Debates that he would veto the Dream Act?

Gosh, Wayne, you speak so authoritatively about "White Trash." And based on the content of your post (#1.101) I'll bet we can all figure out why.

Reliant dont forget that all important Fence Romney vowed to build. Like that would help. All a fence would do is hurt trade with ALL of south America. And hand it to China.

wayne-3043511 Must be terrible for you. I happen to like all those people you mentioned. Even the white trash ones. Truth be told your fear of their not being enough is unwarranted. We always have the option of moving to another state. I did that and came back to Cali. Actually missed the food. And the people. Very diverse we even have southern food love the Greens.

I cant imagine living in a place where there is just one type of people. No different cultures no melting pot. That would be like living in Communist North Korea. Just one type of food?

How does Obama's-economy downgrading of America benefit any Latino?
How?

Romney saved his state of Massachusetts from being the worst state in the union on
"jobs" he rescued in the nick of time from it's former Democrat successors death spiral!

And by the way, while Romney was Governor of Massachusetts, the unemployment rate dropped
from 5.7% to 4.9%.

Under Obama we have had unemployment over 40 months ABOVE 8%. HOW does this help any Latino? How?

November is all the medication I need, Obama will be sent back to Chicago with his tail between his legs, he is a coward

Ummm... darling have YOU ever heard of the electoral map?

What EVER will YOU & your Klansman do when President Obama is re-elected? lmao

Go burn a cross sweet-cheeks... it is MUCH more your speed! ;o)

Mr OBama says he loves him some ritz crackers and wheat crackers , but his favorite is a dumb cracker, anyone that would vote for this guy again has got shi... for brains, but there seem to be a lot of those in this country esp. in Hollywood and the Northeast, like my dad always said the farther north you go the dumber they get.

joeyfromcali my ancestors came from Germany but they didnt try to change this country to look like Germany , but the Hispanics sure are and you cant denie that if you live in California , just like Florida, they dont want to assimilate they want us to change to accomidate them, if they dont like our culture or want to speak English , they can leave , remember our Constitution and bill of rights were written in English , It didnt have spanish, french, or any other language to accomadate any other people, the only reason other languages are on products is because of the greed of manufacturers that would sell their grandma's to the Chinese for a dollar.

Robert in orgeon are you offended because you are white trash , you see I know white trash when I see it, and this country is full of it, I am a real good authority , because I learned to know the signs and behavior of white trash and Hollywood seems to be the capital of white trash America.

bayllie I hope you did not take my post out of context. It was part of an article by a Lady named Dee Blase.

I did not - my post was supposed to be sarastic but rereading it, I see that it's not. your posts are excellent so sorry for making it look like I'm picking on you.

"How does Obama's-economy downgrading of America benefit any Latino?
How?"

It wasn't the economy that forced Moody's to downgrade the banks, it was the long shot investments and high-rolling high stakes financial gambling they have been indulging in that has caused their unhappy predicament. Ask JP Morgan for details. This is exactly why we need stricter controls on these financial institutions in order to limit the damage they seem hell bent to inflict on the economy of this country. Latinos aren't as gullible as the average Republican, fortunately, and they are not likely to blame the President for something he doesn't control.

Obama is taking the black vote for granted.

There, fixed it for ya.

To date there is nothing credible that Mitt has ever said. But that’s okay Mitt, just keep putting your foot in your mouth . . . at least you keep us laughing . . . .

Desperation is setting in,paranoia is taking over quik Mitt think up some more lie's or at least try and remember the old ones.

He's black they stick together don't they, damn Ann help me, get out the horse, saddle up the boys do something,

Call one of those gangs bloods,crips ,anybody promise them amnesty,

where the hell is that little twerp thats in charge of the RNC ,pervert or whatever his name is can,t he go to the hood and promise them new huts or something .

I know free rice and beans,Chitlins and ribs for the blacks

SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING

What Romney didn't say is that a Republican filibuster, in late 2010, stopped Democratic efforts to pass a DREAM Act

Romney makes himself look more idiotic with each passing day. It has gotten to the point where his double talk and disingenuous B.S. is an embarassment to our country.

It seems that prior to giving a speech at a gathering of Latino officials on Friday -- whose support he is actively seeking, the attendees were told to hurry and finish their lunch because the Secret Service wanted to confiscate their forks before Obama made his appearance.

They had already banned knives from the utensil list. This, plus the fact that Obama would keep his distance from the audience members. He wants their support as long as they keep their distance. This stuff can't be made up, why doesn't the tabloid known as MSNBC print this?

Seems First Read cant stand for Romney to say anything neagtive about their hero

Hey Probe Boy!

Here's some nice aged Limburger to go with your whine!

Bob, would you kindly tell me when the US went from a system of divided government to a parliamentary system?

The Obama administration supported legislation to fix this issue. That legislation, despite the lack of presidential authority to force Congress to pass anything, managed to get a majority in both houses.

Republican insistence that immigration reform get 60 votes in the Senate to pass prevented it from passing. If we are assesing blame, it seems to fall on the 41 Republicans who refused to permit a vote on the merits.

Romney added, "I believe he's taking your vote for granted."

... well after you told them to self-deport themselves ... duh?

starched shirt, starched jeans, starched underwear ... starched brain.

Do you know what a filibuster is, Rob?

Obama failed to get immigration reform, no matter how First Read wants to spin it.

Thanks to the Republicans. However, we will take care of that problem in November.

It failed because Mitch McConnell filibustered it. The country remembers eventhough the gop acts like it has amnesia when it comes to their failed racist policies.

It is what Romney left out that speaks volumes.

Here was his chance to tell his audience that he supports the Dream Act, or at least the criteria that Obama has implemented. Or even apologize for the "self deport" remarks he made during the primary.

But he could not.

No real solutions , just like GOP filibuster , stall, stall,

Here's some nice aged Limburger to go with your whine!

Feisty,

Don't waste your time. After a long day of probing, V-Bob couldn't smell it anyway..LOL

Obama failed to get immigration reform,

Just like McCain, Bush 43, Bush 41, Clinton-- a long list have failed. And Romney isn't going to change anything either.

Isn't it great to see Obama's poll numbers in the dumps more and more everyday .... ??

Thursday, June 21, 2012

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows Mitt Romney attracting 47% of the vote, while President Obama earns 43%. Five percent (5%) prefer some other candidate, and another five percent (5%) are undecided ....

Obama's done ....

No one really wants Obama anymore now ....

Rasmussen, is a FOX NEWS POLL.

Mitt told them to pack their suitcases and self-deport. I am sure that they think that it's a much better solution! NOT

Someone decided to get out of bed......or maybe not!

You can really tell what a couple rough weeks it's been for the liberals and Obama groupies. All personal attacks and unfunny one-liners.

Keeping with the topic. Of course the Dems take the Latinos for granted. Just the same way they take the Black vote for granted. One of these days, Black folks are gonna notice that, after all these promises of handouts and gimmes, millions of them are still poor and that the Dems have been keeping them on the plantation with scare tactics.

As for the Latinos, they're Catholic and should be reminded OFTEN by Romney that Obama is in favor of the atrocity known as Partial Birth Abortion and is against people being successful in small businesses which many Latinos have...they generally being harder workers than some people who have been here for centuries who complain all day and night about racism while waiting for their handouts from Hussein and the other Dems.

I don't see anyone pointing out the MAIN falsehood in Romney's statement,...

That Obama had TWO years of HUGE majorities,...

seems that meme is easy enough to debunk,...Didn't get to 60 until July 2009 - 3 weeks of legislating - then summer recess and Kennedy died - so back to 59 until the end of September when Kirk was seated - then fall recesses - so in total it was about six legislative weeks.

Why do the reporters fail to point that out? I'm not sure - unless they really love a 'horse race' that is closer to read about than reality.

PS. I miss a simple majority,...cuz' man oh man we could have gotten some @!$%# done, eh?

His fellow Repub. Rick Perry told him, 'Mitt you don't have a heart,' because of his extremely far right position on immigration.

Clara. Sweetcheeks. Maybe the media doesn't point that out because they're too busy trying to make it seem that Romney has never seen a touch-screen in a WaWa.

Maybe the media is too busy trying to frame George Zimmerman.

Romney the millionaire master planner needed to make a decision a few years back. Drive the family from point A to point B. He has to get the dog there also..........MUTI MILLIONAIRE mind you. So his plan, ...Put the dog house on top of the car and drive for hrs with the dog in the dog house, while dog is scared and craps all over the car.....This is the decision of a man who is a multimillionaire........inhumane......and no clue. If you had a million...wouldn't you take the dog in a second car? Or how about transport the dog through a proper dog kennel company?

You want the Mittster who can't transfer a dog from point A to B...to have his finger on the button that could blow up the world?............NOT ME!!!

Bigbenalaska

and that's polls in favor of the worse candidate the Republicans could have run against Obama. It speaks volumes about Obama

Clara

and that's the Republicans fault?

It was pretty funny when Ramenie called the touch screen "touch tone buttons".

Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL

Seems First Read cant stand for Romney to say anything neagtive about their hero Hey Probe Boy! Here's some nice aged Limburger to go with your whine!

That's not limburger Feisty, you're most likely catching a whiff from dununder.

Of course the Dems take the Latinos for granted. Just the same way they take the Black vote for granted. One of these days, Black folks are gonna notice

I live in the South. The reason why the GOP keeps on winning the elections is because the majority of blacks DO NOT VOTE. They are only remembered during election time, and they do not care anymore. They are tired of the same old from the politicians.

Having said that, the few ones that vote usually vote Democrat, but the numbers are not big enough to win, because the majority of people that belong to the GOP always go out and vote. Do not count on too many blacks turning to the GOP this time around either. People in this country just conveniently group people for their agendas. All blacks are grouped by the GOP as one group of food stamp seekers, the GOP keeps on telling them "lazy" etc.

The group "Latino" has too many people grouped on it to really know how this group is going to impact the election. Many are Cuban-Americans that have belong to the GOP for generations, but that is also changing. Many are from South America, and have nothing in common with other "Latinos"

Nah, the birther issue wins hands down. No one can Trump that one.

Do you know what a filibuster is, Rob?

It's been three and a half hours, Rob. Whatsamatta, cat got your tongue?

Charley..so true, both parties and dangling immigration reform before the immigrants like they would dangle a carrot over a rabbit. It will never get done because it is used as a campaign issue to get votes. They are pulling a sham on the immigrants.

calm...

Birther issue = pure BS
Romney with dog on top of car = fact

Again the truth gets in the way of right wing ideology.

Damage123 Not all Latino's are Catholic. I am a recovering one LMAO. And many of us don't believe in the Church telling a woman what her right is on abortion. That was my Grandfathers generation. Plus let me see Catholics voting for the Door knocker candidate missionary. Or the lesser fanatical Christian candidate.

Have any of you Republicans asked Romney the question of if he believes in the separation between church and state. And the other should be what comes first his JOB as President or his church? If not it should be your duty. No?

Oh the disclaimer I went back to my other side of the families ways the Native American religion of my Ancestors.

HEY VAGINAL BOB where ya been

how do righties not just laugh at themselves?!?!

I'd tell ya but I don't want to be turn into by the FR gestapo, for C of H (?) violation.

Nick--how insulting to Latinos to suggest that they wouldn't remember who voted for the DREAM Act and who filibustered it. I think Romney takes them for granted by assuming he can lie to them and trick them into voting for him.

What about the immigrants that came here legally, how do you think they are feeling right now?

Well, the immigrants who came here legally are probably feeling bad for the ones who were brought as children, through no fault of their own, and hope that these kids can become citizens of the greatest country in the world, just like them. It isn't like they are deadbeats. They have to go to college, or join the military, and have no criminal record. Isn't that good enough?

NoLimitSoldier50

Democrats take ALL minorities for granted. That is a fact.

And the GOP takes the 99% for granted.

@NoLimitSoldier50,

So, the current president and the preceding president both could have passed immigration legislation without the support of the Congress, right?

Why do you Romney supporters think that being president is the equivalent of King or Dictator? Geez you folks really do need to get an education on how America's branches of government work.

Oh, that's right you guys don't believe in government except when it comes to the Military or passing Tax Breaks for that sector of America you tell us creates jobs, but hasn't created jobs! I got it.

SHM.

Hey ....

Is Obama's massive debt higher today ....

It has gone higher everyday he's been in office so far ....

And everyday he's been in office the debt has hit a new record high .... "LOL"

They have to go to college, or join the military, and have no criminal record. Isn't that good enough?

Frugal - There's a lot of people here legally that never went to college, served in the military, hold a meaningful job, and have a criminal record. A perfect example is "Rush Limbaugh"!

Obama/Biden 2012

@FrugalDemocrat

I happen to work with about a dozen legal immigrants in IT, and they aren't happy about it at all. With all the paperwork, money and time it took them to arrive where they are today, what Obama did is a slap in the face. While it is sad (which most with a heart agree on), it's called tough love. It's not our fault their parents brought them here, it's their parents fault, and the fault needs to be put there. What Obama did is completely wrong, because it's putting illegals over citizens in jobs, education, government help, etc.

With the number of unemployed citizens in our country, the problems students are having getting into some college courses and getting financial scholarships/grants/loans, etc if you support the Dream Act, then you are a traitor to our country. We already allow a million immigrants a year in, why should we allow more. .

Steeler Fan, your comment ...

I think Romney takes them for granted by assuming he can lie to them and trick them into voting for him.

Of course he does! He had them working for him, knew it, and then realized he shouldn't when he decided to run. I think he takes everything for granted, why single out the Latinos? He's already pissed off anyone with a brain.

And everyday he's been in office the debt has hit a new record high ....

This has held true for every President before him. I fail to see any relevance or importance to your comment.

Republican, Democrat or Independent will have the same result. Politicians not working together tend to sink us further in the hole every year. No matter what party is in the WH, our debt grows every year.

Newest Gallop Poll shows that 68% of all Americans blame bush for the economy and not President Obama. THAT'S 68 % ........OF ALL AMERICANS Even 50% of all REPUBLICANS blame Bush for the economy and not President OBAMA.

REPEAT 68% of all Americans Blame BUSH for the economy! Gallop June 14 2012

President Obama/Biden 2012

How would ANY Latino explain supporting a President Obama who intentionally "walked automatic weapons into Mexico" put them in the hands of drug cartel criminals, and is responsible for the murder of hundreds & hundreds of Latinos?

Obama sent illegal automatic weapons into Mexico resulting in the death of hundreds of Latinos; all for a twisted scheme to ban guns in the U.S.

How does that earn "Latino support"? Is it explained by just a lack of education?

No need to respond to your nonsense you're a fool.

And by the way, while Romney was Governor of Massachusetts, the unemployment rate dropped from 5.7% to 4.9%.

Game over, Mr. President.

Are you kidding me??? Who @!$%#ing cares about what legal immigrants think???? They are not the ones who decide what gets passed and what doesn't??? Should we add the legal immigrants to lists of special interest groups, the wealthy and seniors (sorry, but true) among them??? No. It is completely unreasonable and impossible to deport nearly 12 million illegal immigrants. Hitler couldn't deport the 9.6 million Jews out of Europe (sorry for the comparison, but it's the only effective one I got); what makes you think we can do that with 12 million???? The ONLY solution to our immigration woes is to allow at least some of the illegal immigrants who have been here for a while to become citizens. That is the ONLY solution, along with making our immigration system focus more on economics. And what right to do we have to deport people who were brought to the US as kids and have no other home but here??? They are essentially Americans. I don't usually quote the Bible, but doesn't it say "The son will not bear the punishment for the father's iniquity????" Kids shouldn't have to suffer for something that is out of their control. It is like arresting everyone who has red eyes or freckles.

With the number of unemployed citizens in our country, the problems students are having getting into some college courses and getting financial scholarships/grants/loans, etc if you support the Dream Act, then you are a traitor to our country. We already allow a million immigrants a year in, why should we allow more. .

You remind me a lot like those stingy nativists of old. You don't create jobs for some people by denying people an opportunity to come here. Americans don't like some of the jobs that immigrants do, like construction or working in the fields. And we NEED highly-skilled immigrants to compete with other nations. We need to let in MORE immigrants with college degrees and have them create businesses and jobs in the U.S. instead of in other countries. If you support denying people the right to come to the US and become citizens, then you are a traitor and anti-American. We are supposed to welcome immigrants with open arms; not kick them back home. Wanna have no immigrants??? Go to another country. We are a nation of immigrants. If you don't like it, get out.

By the way, passing the Dream Act would generate billions of dollars in economic growth and deficit reduction (not much, but a good start) due to more people paying taxes and having jobs.

OBAMA BIDEN 2012

And by the way, while Romney was Governor of Massachusetts, the unemployment rate dropped from 5.7% to 4.9%.

and this is while the economy was good and 46 other state did better than Romney's. That's like being proud of D- because it's not an F.

I think Romney takes them for granted by assuming he can lie to them and trick them into voting for him.

Well, since he can't buy them, probably. But Romney's base is as white as the background on this page. He fails miserably with minorities, as would be expected since he doesn't give a rat's a$$ about them.

It's so amusing seeing bigbenalaska have these conversations with himself.

tony, I've had him blocked since I started posting .... there are some things I just don't need to see every day! :)

star....I saw that poll, and I also saw the rasmussan poll and the gallup poll that has Romney ahead of Obama. It's interesting the way the american voter thinks. They can be polled on one topic and never even relate it to the next poll they take. Says something about the american voter and the lack of thinking they do.

Hey, Alex, you want to talk about unemployment while you whine about "legal" immigrants in IT? Seriously? I am in IT and there is no shortage of Americans trying to get jobs in IT, but many are unemployed because of "legal" immigrants taking their jobs. I'm tired of the straw dog crap about illegal immigrants taking jobs, while middle class jobs are being taken by "legal" immigrants. Yeah, tell me all about traitors...then grab a damned mirror.

@Freshie and LWNJ,

I'm not sure where I 'whined' about legal immigrants in IT. I stated that I work with legal immigrants in IT and they aren't happy about Obama's decision. That was in direct response to another poster stating that legal immigrants are happy about Obama's decision.

@Freshie,

American workers don't like construction jobs??? I happen to have a few friends that are in construction that are continuously looking for work. We 100s if not 1000s of unemployed construction workers due to illegal immigrants that would LOVE to be back working. As far as letting MORE legal immigrants in... while I'm definitely not against legal immigration, we need to cut back on the number we let in due to the number of unemployed engineers already in the country. You seem to be all for letting anyone and everyone in no matter what. You're the one that is clueless. While our nation is built on immigration, and has been throughout our history, we also need to keep the citizens that are already IN the country employed before we go out looking for more people to let in. To me, that just basic common sense regardless of what party you belong to.

As far as passing the Dream Act, you really haven't thought about the consequences. You give these people citizenship, ok, I can live with that. Then they start bringing their family and extended family across the border. On average (nothing personal against them) people south of the border are not the most educated. So you flood the blue collar market with people that (on average) refuse to assimilate into our culture, learn the language, learn our laws, etc. So now the blue collar unemployment rate skyrockets higher than it is today. So they go on welfare (which they can legally do now since they are citizens). Suddenly our welfare costs skyrocket.

You need to get off your liberal cloud and come down to the real world. Bleeding hearts like you are a big reason for the problems in this country.

Them Damn Republicans can't even lie the right way. Looks like desperation is fogging their little minds, These are the same people they just threw undwer the bus and now they want to give them mouth to mouth with their snaggle teeth and Budwieser breath

@Freshie,

First of all, I mentioned construction because many illegal immigrants work in construction. Secondly, in 2018, we will have a shortfall of engineers and scientists. That is why we need to increase immigration to allow gifted people and those who want to start profitable enterprises to come here. Allowing gifted immigrants to come here WOULD create jobs for Americans.

Technically, the citizens would pay taxes and increase demand (offsetting any future costs) for goods. In addition, can you name me 10 people you know who would be willing to work in a farm in 100-degree weather for minimum wage??? Few people can survive on that. And since when do illegal immigrants refuse to assimilate??? All they want to do is preserve their cultural integrity, like your immigrant ancestors tried to do. And illegal immigrants tend to obey the law, mainly because they know that if they are arrested chances are that they will be deported.

You, my friend, need to get off your cloud and deal with reality. Uncompromising purists like you are what's wrong with this country.

OBAMA BIDEN 2012

i have to admit that evryone on here seems to me are pretty f..king stupid. Sitting around arguing about how someone said this to contradict that, who gives a f..k. Government is killing this country and all people can do is sit on here and debate over what someone said instead of trying to fix the scum bags in office. Its like someone trying to rob a house and throwing the dog some steaks to leave him alone, its a distraction people. i dont care who you put in office, nothing is going to change cause the people in this country havent seen whats going on and never will as long as we sit around caring about this crap that doesnt mean nothing

Why are YOU so interested in the welfare of illegals while your countrymen struggle in this economy? No true American would do this.

Oh, you must be an illegal yourself, be related to an illegal or you are profiting from an illegal.

Nice deflection JW, I see you didn't address any issue in my post. Unless you are a Native American, maybe you should self-deport to the land of your ancestors. Perhaps you can take Willard to the native land of his father, Mexico.

jw101

Why are YOU so interested in the welfare of illegals while your countrymen struggle in this economy? No true American would do this.

Why are YOU implying that some people are superior to others and dividing this country by attacking those who are interested in the welfare of illegal immigrants???? No true American would attack people who try to come to this country and attack his fellow countrymen, or accuse him of being an illegal immigrant. Man, you are the classic example of a jingoistic nativist.

OBAMA BIDEN 2012

Question to all , what has any country done for this country ie P. rico, Cuba , any south american country etc , except give us immigrants that want us to change our culture to accomadate them such as in Florida where I use to live , they had every other billboard in Spanish and announced things in the stores in English and Spanish. I would like one example what any other country has done for us , can anyone give me anything.

I would like one example what any other country has done for us , can anyone give me anything.

• The Greeks gave us democracy.
• The French helped us in the Revolution.
• The British gave us the Beatles (which soothed the nation after JFK got killed).
• Mexico gave us great leaders like Caesar Chavez.
• Canada makes the case for single-payer healthcare.
• Spain helped us in the Revolution.
• The Netherlands helped fund the Revolution.
• Germany helped us hold off the Russians during the Cold War.
• Spain gave us Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Cuba (after the Spanish-American War).
• Russia tried to mediate a peace treaty between us and the Brits during the War of 1812.
• Japan gave us land to house some of our troops (after WWII).
• Japan opened trade relations after Matthew Perry came over.
• Britain joined us in Iraq and Afghanistan.

This is as much as I can think of, but there is a helluva lot more.

you mean like what has been happening already? For a long time??????

So you are saying that Romney is basically stealing material form the Dept. of Homeland Security???

a family member of a green card holder, this includes spouses and unmarried children of the sponsoring green card holder

a member of a special category, this can include battered spouse or child (VAWA), a K nonimmigrant, a person born to a foreign diplomat in the United States, a V nonimmigrant or a widow(er) of a U.S. Citizen

Green Card Through a Job Offer
You may be eligible to become a permanent resident based on an offer of permanent employment in the United States. Most categories require an employer to get a labor certification and then file a Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, for you. This one corresponds with advanced degrees.

Kind of how Obama stole Rubio's immigration plan?

baylllie,

I think the audience knew more about green cards and the regulations than Romney does.

Vote Obama ....

Promote breaking U.S. immigration laws .... "LOL"

Concern Citizen:

Children of ligal permanent residents really dont need green cards. If they were born here they are citizens. Also, they have a pathway to citizenship by family relations.

NorthstarDFL

I think the audience knew more about green cards and the regulations than Romney does.

and apparently more than Concern Citizen-856329 does

Rocco-2976776

Kind of how Obama stole Rubio's immigration plan?

how is that because the DREAM Act first started long before anyone knew who Rubio was, and Obama's plan is based on the DREAM Act so if anyone should get credit for it is Luis Gutierrez.

Even if true, considering that Rubio is on Romney's side, that would make both Rubio and Romney look bad.

Some Real Facts About Mitt Romney We Won't Hear From The Lame Stream Media
About The 'Real' Mitt Romney!

After going to both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School simultaneously, he passed the Michigan bar, but never worked as an attorney.

As a venture-capitalist, Romney's first major business deal involved investing in a start-up office supply company with one store in Massachusetts that sold office supplies. That company, called
'Staples', now has over 2,000 stores and employs over 90,000 people.

Romney or his company Bain Capital (using what became known as the "Bain Way") would go on to perform the same kinds of business miracles again and again, with companies like Domino's, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Warner Music Group,Dollarama, Home Depot Supply, and many others.

Got your calculators handy? Let's recap...

Volunteer campaign worker for his fathers gubernatorial campaign for 1 year.

Unpaid intern in Governor's office for 8 years.

Mormon missionary in Paris for 2 years.

Unpaid Bishop & state President for his church for 10 years.

No salary as President of the Olympics for 3 years.

No salary as MA Governor for 4 years.

That's a grand total of 28 years of unpaid service to his country, his community and his church.

Why?

Because that's the kind of man Mitt Romney is!

And, in 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity.
Almost 19% of his years income.

Obama gave 1% !!
And, Joe Biden gave $300 or .0013% !!!

Mormon missionary in Paris for 2 years

lol... I love that one. Because a) The French are just unsaved heathens and France is SO much more civilized than Africa; and b) Little Mittens didn't want to mess up his hair in Vietnam.

Being a missionary and a church official for a cult is NOT service to the U.S., you moron.

Good lord. The propaganda belching out of the baggers these days would make even Hitler blush.

The bad thing is they all pat each other on the back thinking posting their nonsense will swing a single vote. I can't wait for the debates when Romney will have to actually answer what he plans to do if elected. Should be amusing.

I DEMAND to see romney's marriage certificate! not the short form5 which is a copy and obvious fake. show us the real one with the names of the other 4 wifes on it. romney belongs to a wandering tribal polyigamous cult with branches in mexico here both mitt and his father were born mitt was smuggled accross the mexican border in a brinks truck provided by casino gambler sheldon addleson who hid him from authorities for years till he surfaced in michagan. now addelson reappears decades later to bank roll 2 losers named newt and mitt to the tune of 15 million so far. it will soon come to light that mitt is dyslexic and his real name is timm. what percent of the 1 9% that went to charity went to the cult morman church. he got a tax break for thatand the taxes he didn' pay had to be made up by people paying real taxes. mitt average earnings in 1 week than any of the jobs he "worked for free" payed in 1 year. why don't you list his numerous tax write=offs and the swiss and bahamas bank accounts he parks earnings in to avoid paying taxes.

obama extended the bush tax cuts which omney stated were necessary to create jobs. so where are the jobs? romney is like richard nixon with his secret plan to end the war. just elect me and i will tell you what the plan is. same with romney and his lack of policies on everything from the ecomey to immigation. justelect me and i will tell you what the secret plan is. the bext 2-4 years may well show a very weak grotwh in our economy because of the debt crisis in europe. obama recognizes this but romney will fix the economy and and create a massive amount of new jobs, just like he did when e was govenor. mass. vaulted from 49 th in new jobs creayed all the way up to 47 th. he created romneycare which is rated #2 in the country. second best state health program which is almost virtually the same as obama's health care program. he refuses to have his name mentioned in the same sentence with romneycare let alone take credit for it. because that is not what the fleabaggers want to hear afterexpending so much time and money while saying it;s too long to read and nobody really understands it

today he spoke to a meeting of latino 's and the bull sh-t meter went off the charts. we hear about obama's temporary stop gap initative and what that entails and we hear of yet another grandiose solution for the long term from romney. what is it you ask? well nobody knows, because as usual mitt avoids any specifics that could br construed as a policy let alone a promise. he tells the fleabaggers one thing to satisfy their delusional minds and tell different groups what he thinks they want to hear , so any specifics can cause problems when you keep changing your position on the same subject. he now needs to try to meander to the center to fish in what few moderates remain in the republican party. the cracies will remain all in no matter what, as they are now stuck with mitt. only we still have to shovel out from this ceaseless sh-t storm. imagne if we had george bush for a 3rd term, well, mitt is the next closest thing.

Romney saved his state of Massachusetts from being the worst state in the union on "jobs" he rescued in the nick of time from it's former Democrat successors death spiral!

And by the way, while Romney was Governor of Massachusetts, the unemployment rate dropped from 5.7% to 4.9%.

Under Obama we have had over 40 months above 8%. HOW does this help any Latino? How?

And by the way, while Romney was Governor of Massachusetts, the unemployment rate dropped from 5.7% to 4.9%.

Oh yeah? Well, under Obama, the national unemployment rate has dropped MORE than the MA unemployment rate dropped under Romney.

Take THAT. ;)

There is one impressive beautiful thing about a liar . Lies are almost impossible to remember and your boy flip flop Mitt is the biggest lar out there and he is going to be shamed to oblivion

Romney has abut as much change of getting the Hispanic vote as an atheist has of getting the fundamentalist Christian vote.

Yep, Obama was very foolish during his first 2 years in office. He made the mistake of thinking he could compromise with the current Republican representatives. Thank God those days are over. Unfortunately those efforts gave the Republicans a chance to take majority in Congress, thereby stopping all of Obama's efforts until he figured out how to out-maneuver them last summer when the Republicans threatened to throw our nation into default.

According to the right every company he invested in was on the edge of bankruptcy that he personally saved. The truth is Bain invested in lot's of companies some succeeded some didn't but in most cases Baim made money regardless and Romney didn't run any of the companies that succeeded and can't claim credit any more than i can claim credit for Exxon's success because i bought some shares.

In his 2010 book The Buyout of America: How Private Equity Is Destroying Jobs and Killing the American Economy, Josh Kosman described Bain Capital as "notorious for its failure to plow profits back into its businesses," being the first large private-equity firm to derive a large fraction of its revenues from corporate dividends and other distributions. The revenue potential of this strategy, which may "starve" a company of capital,^[97] was increased by a 1970s court ruling that allowed companies to consider the entire fair-market value of the company, instead of only their "hard assets", in determining how much money was available to pay dividends.^[98] In at least some instances, companies acquired by Bain borrowed money in order to increase their dividend payments, ultimately leading to the collapse of what had been financially stable businesses.^[49]

Where is he trailing in the polls?

BMan - Sorry, but WTF?!? Are you the one feeding Romney his nonsense lines? Nothing that you said makes a bit of sense and none of it has any connection to a single fact. Just like Romney.

Bitter much?

"Minorities don't elects [sic] Presidents...." (great grammar structure)

Your post is entertaining, if not a reflection of moderate illiteracy.

"Obama has done nothing but pander to voters that dont matter in this election"

... and there dear posters we have the average Republican voter in a nutshell ... latinos, blacks, your general minority types matter for naught.

Someones trailing in this poll .... "LOL"

Thursday, June 21, 2012

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows Mitt Romney attracting 47% of the vote, while President Obama earns 43%. Five percent (5%) prefer some other candidate, and another five percent (5%) are undecided ....

I wonder who it is .... "LOL"

Bman:

Homeland Security is in charge of deportation, not states.

He deported the criminals!! Too bad that leaves you cryiing crocodile tears!

Well I see 'lil Ben is doing his weekly duty,tossing Scott Rasmussen's salad.

Hey 'lil Ben,you better send an e-mail bomb to the voters in Florida to pack it in...

Quinnipiac poll for Florida released 6/21: Obama 46% Romney 42%

Kiss off Wisconsin too...

Marquette Law School poll released 6/21 for Wisconsin: Obama 49% Romney 42%

Or maybe yesterday's Bloomberg News national poll that had Obama with a 13% lead? Like that one better,'lil Ben?

Or here,let's go with the guy who is flat out the best in the biz at this,Nate Silver and 538.com (for one thing he crunches numbers using data from ALL polling sources...).

His latest handicapping of the odds for November...

Obama 62.7% likely to win Romney 37.3% likely to win

The difference between myself and a person like you 'lil Ben is that I have enough sense to put almost ZERO credence in political polls that are taken this far out from the election. Why? Well for one we haven't seen any debates yet. Also the carpet bombing of the airwaves hasn't begun in earnest yet (can't wait for that...NOT!!!!). And lastly at this point in a Presidential campaign the vast majority of the nation's voters aren't really dialed in and paying attention yet. That's more a pursuit of political junkies (also known as idiots...:)) like ourselves.

So you continue to stick with the belief that one of the provably most biased polling sites out there (Rasmussen...) saying that it will be Romney on June 21st is going to mean jack squat in November.

(For the record I personally LOL'ed when I saw the Bloomberg poll...whatever numnutz came up with that probably has the Rams and the Browns in next years Super Bowl.)

kennyw where did you get your facts from pmsnbc , or some other lame stream media , we will see in November when the people show you how feed up with hope and change they are , of the high cost of everything and not having any jobs and a President that has been the worse ever, only an idiot would vote twice for this guy , and idiot is putting if nicely.

Sonny Drysdale your more like a Jethro , you need to see a proctologist so he can help you find your head and take the other idiots on here with you maybe he'll give you a sucker , or are you one.

It's called google wayne. G-O-O-G-L-E Google

See there's this thing called the Internet that you can go to any search engine on and enter things like "Quinnipiac",or "Wisconsin Polling" or "538.com" and it will direct you to that site. Then even the simplest simpleton (that would be you,pinhead...) can visit said site and see that every poll I listed is 100% ACCURATE.

Then you can get back to what you're better suited for,somewhere some windows need to be licked clean I'm sure.

BTW you goof,if you had half the reading comprehension of a rock you would see that I stated that,in my opinion,the Bloomberg poll that had Obama up 13 points over Romney (Google Bloomberg window-licker) was equally as ridiculous as the Rasmussen poll and that paying any heed to any polls at this point was pointless anyway.

Obama had 2 full years to enact policy to deal with illegals and couldn't be bothered except to deport them in record numbers.

Oh, look! Yet another conservative who doesn't understand how a filibuster works. You kooks would be funny if you couldn't vote.

President Obama vs. Etch-A-SKetch:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/us/general_election_romney_vs_obama-1171.html

The President still leads in the majority of the polls, and it should be pointed out that Rasmussen is just a conservative polling organization whose polling results are generally ignored by the mainstream press. Factor out Rasmussen and the President's lead increases substantially.

Try Comparing his speech to the one Romney is giving to the Governors to down play the economic growth, you know make it look worse then it really is.

I guess you believed Obama when he said "the private sector is doing just fine". You might want to look at the latest unemployment numbers, they have been going up over the last several weeks. You might also look at the foreclosure rate going up, the debt increasing by $6 billion a day and the enormous deficits we have endured under the President. Add to that the unemployment rate of 14% among minorites and 37% among students looking for summer jobs and no, the economy isn't improving at all.

It definitely is improving. I'm sorry it isn't fast enough for you.

Also, you might want to take a look at the rest of what he said. You only heard a sound bite. The private sector is doing fine, in comparison to the public sector

Really, lukewarm?

Perhaps you didn't notice the profits that the private sector is raking in. After all, isn't that the primary stated goal of capitalism...to create wealth and not necessarily jobs?

Funny how even today's reports are showing a worsening economy .... "LOL"

Housing , debt , banking , ect. ....

I looked at the web pages for several websites(Just now) including FOX, CNN, MSNBC, MSN,CBS,NBC and There are no articles that are on the front page talking about how bad our economy is. I know its not perfect but the fact is that it is way better now then when he took office. Thats a fact!

Just checked NYtimes and LAtimes none yet!

Found a USA Today article about gas prices falling to under 3$ , but President Obamas energy policies is destroying America tho so this might be wrong according to the GOP.

Found a USA Today article about gas prices falling to under 3$

Remember how quick the Cons were to blame rising gas prices on the Obama administration recently? It was all his fault, his policies and lack of drilling approvals hastened it...blah, blah, blah?

If that were truly the case, and only idiots and Cons seem to think it is, then courtesy dictates we should be hearing kudos from them about FALLING gas prices, right?

Oh yeah, wait a minute...that would be strictly be against the "Code of the Conservatives" to give any credit for anything to this administration. That would prove to anyone with lingering doubts that their assumptions were and are incorrect.

But fortunately, smarter people than they are already know that.

Now, for any Con out there who'd like to take a stab at providing any kind of coherent answer, riddle me this:

Ever since Obama took office, Cons, like Sarah Palin, have continually whined about him not opening up more drilling options for these overly rich corporations i.e. Chevron, BP, etc. About how it would immediately lower consumer prices in the USA, drive down the cost of drilling, yada, yada, yada, etc, and everyone benefits from it.

But I have yet to hear that these corporations would stipulate to an iron-clad, binding guarantee that they would only sell the products of their labors strictly within the US in order to provide more supply.

Why? It's basic Econ 101...these companies will sell their oil on the world market, to whoever offers them the most profit...capitalism at it's finest. Nothing wrong with that, but to say or imply that simply drilling for more oil within the US boundaries would automatically lead to lower domestic prices and less riliance on foreign oil, as the aforementioned former candidate for VP has done time and time again, is pretty shallow.

But then, consider the source of arguments like that and you have your answer.

Pander, pander, pander

And what do you think Romneys doing when he speaks to hispanic groups blasting Obama for not passing a much wanted bill for hispanics but failing to mention it was his party that blocked it and he opposed it in the past? His speach was clearly designed to make this group believe he supported the dream act and that Obama was the reason it wasn't law.

Well, he will be our President and be your King.

Romney is a pandering fool. He changes his stance for every audience. He wants Mario Rubio for VP, because he doesn't know there is a difference between Mexicans and Cubans. First it was cheesy grits in the south, now he holding a burrito and talking about eating tacos.

"Today, Mitt Romney told the largest national gathering of Hispanic elected officials, 'When I make a promise to you- I will keep it.' But in front of an audience of Republican primary voters, he called the DREAM Act a 'handout' and promised to veto it.

Now, after seven days of refusing to say whether or not he'd repeal the Obama administration's immigration action that prevents young people who were brought here through no fault of their own as children from being deported, we should take him at his word that he will veto the DREAM Act as president," said Gabriela Domenzian, the campaign's director of Hispanic press."

www.cbsnews.com/8334-503544_162-57458119-503544/romney-says-hell-replace-obamas-immigration-plan/

I don't think they are interested in self-deportation....



Having a hard time understanding U.S. immigration laws and rules I see .... "LOL"

Funny how so many like to disobey them ....

Yep clearly Obama is the only president in history to claim executive privilege to stop the opposing party from a fishing expedition hoping to find something to embarrass him. The Senate was provided 7600+ documents to determine the ATF screwed up which we all knew. Now they're just fishing and he stopped it as any president would.

Job there is a village in Kenya missing an Idiot , maybe you can go there with him and be the village clown.

Correction, he did not have two years of Democrats controlled Congress. Now days in the Senate you need 60 and we didn't ever have 60. Remember Joe Lieberman always like to mess things up.

Yeah i know. I was laying on the sarcasm pretty thick there.

They aren't even real filibusters any more. Nobody has to stand on stage and read the phone book like in the old days

Now they just declare a filibuster and go home.

I do like that avitar.

And what does an executive order do .... ??

Uh , oh yea .... "LOL"

The right, and the media - mainstream and otherwise, always fail to correct the "he had a Democrat majority in the House and Senate for two years..." bs talking point whenever a Republican comes out with that LIE. The truth is that Democrats only had 58 democrat votes at the most. The other 2 votes were Indpendents, who lean democrat when the issue suits them. Couple that with the presence of the "Blue Dogs" in the democrat controlled Senate and you are no where near the 60 votes needed to simply push through the legislation sent forward by the Democrats in the House from 2008-2010. That friends and foes are the facts of Washington DC politics in today's era.

As Job1 stated correctly, any legislation that comes before the Senate needs 60 votes in order to get over the cloture motion (like FrugalDemocrat said, they aren't even real filibusters anymore just procedural votes on whether the bill will even come up for discussion).

Combine the media's failure to correct the facts, as presented on both the Democrat and Republican sides I might add, with the apparent ignorance of the American electorate as to the powers, duties and responsibilities of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of our government and you have a recipe to elect ideologues for Representatives and Senators, an etch-a-sketch as President, and get judges to the Supreme Court who openly attend politically sponsored conferences and who's spouses run lobbying firms which are opposed to legislation which comes before them.

It takes 60 votes to overcome a filibuster in the US Senate, which is now the default to get pretty much anything done…the Democrats didn’t reach that 60-seat threshold in the Senate until Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) was sworn in on July 7, 2009. They lost that majority upon the swearing-in of Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) on Feb. 4, 2010, just under seven months later. While state politician Christie can possibly be forgiven such an error, someone with Joe Scarborough’s reach and influence ought to have better than a 71% margin of error

As Mother Jones‘ Kevin Drum points out, though, the actual amount of time the Democrats held a filibuster-proof majority, when you factor in the late Sen. Ted Kennedy‘s illness and the winter recess, amounts to 14 weeks.

In reality even the magic 60 isn't filibuster proof. There's always a few Republicans that lean to the left and Democrats to the right and some independants. Some vote what they believe rather than the party line.

I guess he thinks they'd rather have a president that hate's them then one who takes them for granted. Sort of like someone from the KKK trying to convince black people they'd be better off voting for him than a liberal.

Our brothers and sisters?

You mean greedy law-breakers? The people in their home towns aren't starving....the illegals just want what YOU have without paying for it.

jw101: What about all those good Americans who will pay them despite the fact that they know they're illegals? greedy law breakers? And those who hire them willingly so they can avoid paying taxes and higher salaries are what? Victims?

Romneys election campaign. I'll raise your taxes but lower mine. I'll run off the mexicans, cut grannies medicare, ship more jobs overseas where i can get honest folks who'll work for a dollar a day and I'll follow my republican predecessors and start one or two wars to help out my defense contractor buddies. So vote for me.

Right. Sure he did.

Conservative..........No...uh....no...Romneys position clearly is flip flopping. But thanks for trying....To take a better word from Bush, Cheney, Rove......that explains what Romney does......LIE.

Romney needs lots of evolving.

Romney. hummbird.....If you are old enough to write comments, at least learn how to spell the name. I can see you have put a lot of time into yourcomments. Marvel comics must be your only reading material .

You know I spelled it Romoney for a purpose, would you prefer Mittens, etch-a-sketch, weather vain, need I go on? I haven't read comics in years, loved mad magazine and Archie, my husband liked the super heroes!

S.Walker

Romney. hummbird.....If you are old enough to write comments, at least learn how to spell the name. I can see you have put a lot of time into yourcomments. Marvel comics must be your only reading material .

Since you are all for making sure ROMNEY is spelled correctly, make sure you chastise those posters who misspell OBAMA, and also those who fail to put the title PRESIDENT in front of his last name.

FAIR IS FAIR.

I'm calling him Ramenie nowadays.

Ramen is wet limp noodles, and that is what he reminds me of.

In a few years no one will remember his name. Romney, Rumney whatever.

No, he's got enough money to be a perpetual campaigner.

Obama .... "LOL"

bigbenalaska... "LOL"

They got a little too excited about Wisconsin. I'm a liberal and i would've voted against the recall. Pay and benefits for public sectors should be comparable to the private sector. There's been a few too many politicians from both parties who've been a little too generous with our money at the state level. Regardless of how i would've voted in Wisconsin It sure as hell doesn't mean i'd vote for Romney.

Are you talking about this Wisconsin poll?

www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/most_recent_videos/2012_06/romney_ahead_in_wisconsin_in_wake_of_recall_election

Funny, because I can read, and it says Romney is ahead. Why do Democrats get everything backward, is it genetic?

Are you talking about this Wisconsin poll?

And you post a link to Rasmussen?? Has Rasmussen ever had it right? In 2008 they had McCain winning in Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada and Colorado. He LOST every single one of those states. Rasmussen is less accurate than a dart board.
