The specifics are still lacking.
Mitt Romney promises to balance the budget by 2020, after his eight years in office, if elected. But a Romney surrogate went on MSNBC’s The Daily Rundown this morning and had a difficult time defending the candidate’s lack of specifics.
“I’m not an economist, and I’m not going to play an economist,” Romney adviser Tara Wall told NBC’s Luke Russert, guest-hosting for Chuck Todd, after Russert pressed for details on how Romney would close the nation’s deficits. “Mitt Romney has a proven record,” she added.
Wall noted that Romney would give tax breaks, “replace ObamaCare,” and make spending cuts and streamline government.
Russert pointed out that Romney proposes to increase defense spending and cut taxes even more, which would increase spending and reduce revenue. So, what are the offsets? Russert asked.
Wall deflected.
"There's plenty of time to learn and hear more from the candidates,” Wall said, adding that Romney would get rid of “new regulations, overzealous regulations.”
And then she wanted to talk about the campaign’s latest attack on President Obama as being “anti-business.”
“Look at where our growth comes from,” she said, adding that Romney would not be “maligning our small businesses, not demonizing small businesses.”
Pressed for specifics on Afghanistan, given Romney’s upcoming trip abroad, Wall again deflected, contending these aren’t the issues that are most important to the election.

Specifics.............
Just like many of us have been talking about for the last 6 months.
All Romney is capable of is providing the usual broad brush strokes that sound good to everybody: "I'll create jobs"; "The economy is flat": "I'll repeal the health-care act on day one"..........
Sorry Mr. Romney, but it's time to start coming forward with solid ideas instead of the usual rhetoric.
The problem is: Romney has no specific plans. He'll flip-flop from minute-to-minute.
Would we expect anything less?
Can't talk about his time as Governor of MA - *check*
Can't talk about his time as Bain Capital - *check*
Can't talk about his tax returns - *check*
In OUTSOURCING that is...
The tea bagging "Gods" have played a horrible joke on the RWNJ's this time around... lol
.
My question is, Does Romney have his light on or is it always this dim.
Seven major issues on which Romney refuses to take a stand:
I'm starting to feel sorry for these News Anchors...
Day in and day out, they have to endure the same old tired 'talking points" out of these washed up right wing attack dogs!
They refuse to answer the question asked and have a nasty habit of talking over anyone who tries to get a word in edge wise.
When has Bay Buchanon EVER been relevant?
Feisty,
BAY Buchanan.....OMG is she still around?
They really need some faces.
It really shouldn't be all that hard for Romney after Barry fulfills his promise to cut the deficit in half.
Oh yeah, that's a Barry epic FAIL.
"Light on specifics...? Can we say "nonexistent on specifics?" Either the puppet masters have not yet given him the specifics (...we don't need an intelligent man in the White House, we only need someone with ten digits to sign the legislation we put in front of him--ring a bell?) or he knows any specifics would be so unpopular with the people that it would cost him the election.
"We have met the enemy and he is us!" Pogo by Walt Kelly
It's no secret that Romney's plan will enlarge the deficit even more.
We the People are in luck because there will never be a Romney Presidency - an evidence that there is an almighty God.
WOO HOO!! A balanced budget by 2020! YEAH! Wait...............How are we going to do this? WHAT? You don't have a plan with any specifics? ................I don't understand. Mitt says he can do this, but can't tell us how he will do this!
Isn"t THAT special! JUST GREAT!!
I don't know who decided it was a good idea to dig her up...
From the looks of her, they should of left her buried!
They sure do...
That one is ugly enough to scare a dog off a meat-wagon! lol
Don't feel sorry for the anchors Feisty, their the ones sitting on their hands while the washed up right wing attack dogs spew their filthy lies. They say nothing, no follow up to make them explain their lies, the anchors just except the lies as truth and move on to the next lie. You see if the anchor tries to question the liars, the right wing supper pacs will pull their citizens united ads and the station would lose a lot of money. That's how they get reported what they want reported, not facts or truth.
Tara says "I'm not an economist, stuPig!" (Mitt the UnFitt's adviser - That Tara girl)
We all know that, and Tara says "Mitt Romney has a proven record" as a vulture, for sure.
You're right MO! My bad!
Call it a moment of weakness on my part! lol
Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL
Don't feel sorry for the anchors Feisty, their the ones sitting on their hands while the washed up right wing attack dogs spew their filthy lies.
I think with all the contortions Mitt does even the RWNJ attack dogs
deserve some pity. Every day the RWNJ attack dogs are uncomfortable with all the lies and flip flops Willard does. For instance, the former Bush aide saying President Obama needs to learn how to be an America. Yet, this aide was born in Cuba!!!
GOP wants the tyranny of the market...the Koch Brothers want to stick their cock at you. Can you believe the Repugnants still make their arguments about their 'perfect' free market in the Great Recession caused by the tyranny of the market.
Those "tax breaks" for healthcare will be paid for by taxing anyone with employer sponsored health insurance.
He's not for cleaning up the tax code, he's for making it even muddier.
Mitt Romney promises to balance the budget by 2020, after his eight years in office, if elected.
The Repubes are bitching that O hasn't done enough in 3years, but Mitten's wants 8. Maybe he means it'll take him 8 years to figure out a plan....LOL!
Obama/Biden 2012
Ann Romney says ... We've 'given all you people need to know' on taxes
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/07/19/ann-romney-says-given-all-you-people-need-to-know-on-taxes/
Not Really; Mrs Romney !!!! The nerve of you people.
She's right Bev. The legal guidelines on financial disclosure are all anyone "needs" to know -- it's just not what you "want." Boo Hoo.
Here is a specific:
Obama - With the Stimulus Unemployment will be 5.6% by the third Qtr of 2012!
Anybody know what time it is?
It's Howdy Doody Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Featuring the puppet on the strings of puppet master George Soros -- Barack Hussein Obama!!!!!!!
The RWNJ attack dogs don't deserve any pity either Beverly. They'll all go to church on Sunday and ask God for forgiveness for all their lies. See you can tell all the lies you want as long as you go to church and repent for those lies.
"Pressed for specifics on Afghanistan, given Romney’s upcoming trip abroad, Wall again deflected, contending these aren’t the issues that are most important to the election."
WTF? The war in Afghanistan isn't important to Etch-A-Sketch? Is this guy honestly serious about wanting to be president?
Repeal ACA
Tax Cuts
Get economy going.
What more do you need.
He has my vote and anyone who loves and believes in America vote.
The rest of you well you will vote for the worst President ever again.
"The rest of you well you will vote for the worst President ever again."
Read the papers. Bush isn't running.
Saying Romney is light on details is like saying Katrina was a little thunderstorm. Romney has no details - he doesn't know anything and doesn't really want to know. All he wants is to be President - because it's his turn.
Letterman skewered him last night about the taxes. It was hilarious! He's definitely got Romney's number and it's zero!
Obama/Biden 2012
Did Romney's team obtain tax returns as they veti individuals for the VP spot? Did they request school transcripts? How about birth certificates?
I wish he was running. He would win and America would be 100% better for it.
"LIGHT" on specifics. How about NO specifics beyond the day's talking points memorandum.
"I'll cut the deficit from day one." the immediate response from everybody is HOW ? Which leads to "I'll cut taxes, remove regulations and cut departments." Which taxes, what regulations and which departments.... again, NO details.
The Republican Party is a talking points memo, with no substance, other than cutting taxes to the wealthy.
Sailcat .. re: this ...
Again, its the Romney camp tellng "you people" what we should think about and what is important. If it's something they don't want to talk about (and/or know absolutely nothing about) then it's something that isn't important in electing a president!
Well said, Layton. The people will have plenty to tell Romney this coming November, and most of it includes the words, "No way!"
It's his turn. Just ask his wife.
Just shows what a Romney presidency would be like. If they ever get in, the White House will be in lock down immediately. They're dangerous people that need to be kept out of politics.
Romney/Jindal -- Light on specifics and light in the shoes.

Obama can NOT run on his sorry record!!
[I]f you don't have any fresh ideas, then you use stale tactics to scare the voters. If you don't have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from." That is what Barack Obama said when he accepted his party's presidential nomination in 2008. Four years later, it reads like a prophetic description of his re-election campaign.
See story in washingtonexaminer.com
The best first thing we need to do to balance the budget is get Obama out of the White House. I think Romney has been correct and very specific on that point. Romney 2012!
The Romney/Ryan budget proposal doesn’t balance the budget until 2040 forcing us to borrow trillions more between now and then. It projects an increase of another $6 trillion added to our debt by 2022.
Hell it only took Obama 3 1/2 years to do that. Why so long (sarc)
You want Romney in control of your taxes
and he will not show you how he does his.
To be Specific --- that sounds like a bad plan.
Hi Ron Indiana,
I hope you are surviving the excruciating heat neighbor.
My question is, Does Romney have his light on or is it always this dim.
Seemingly it's not.
When someone decides to run for the highest office in the free world, full disclosure is not that candidate’s “personal decision”! It is a national imperative. Here is what The Stew found on Mitt Romney’s 2006 financial disclosure form. We, the electorate of the United States of America demand to see more.
he [Romeny] continues to personally enrich himself with significant investments in Iran. The speech was delivered during the election for which he submitted the 2006 disclosure showing active investments in companies (ahem!) doing business in Iran. Does he not give new meaning to the term “sanctimonious hypocrite”?Today, Mitt’s shameless hypocrisy continues to astound, even as he sabre-rattles against Iran.
Romney also said -- “The blind trust is an age-old ruse,” Romney told the Boston Globe in October of that year. “You give a blind trust rules." - Romney's own mouth in 1994.
The only thing R-money can talk about is attacking President Obama personally with warmed over old 2008 attacks.
I hope you are surviving the excruciating heat neighbor.
Obama/Biden 2012
Sandy, Are you saying I need to be more worried about what Romney does with his money than what Obama has done with mine? I'm really not concerned about where his money is or anyone elses for that matter.
@ UAW Pleeeeeeease
You all demanded "transparency" from Obama.
Why not Romney.
I will not vote for Romney with "blind trust."
The GOP has alot of voters who will give him their vote with blind trust. SAD!
OBAMA 2012
Joe in Albany
It really shouldn't be all that hard for Romney after Barry fulfills his promise to cut the deficit in half.
Oh yeah, that's a Barry epic FAIL.
Joey, the adults are talking here. Go back to padded room and LOL for as long as and much you can.
Obama budget gets deficit under 3% of GDP: CBO
The Obama budget proposal would meet the administration’s stated goal of slicing the U.S. deficit to less than 3% of gross domestic product by 2016, according to an independent analysis Friday from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
http://articles.marketwatch.com/2012-03-16/economy/31200106_1_obama-budget-cbo-budget-plan
So Obama couldnt work off a budget his first term. Now we expect him to stick to one his second term? Doubtful, this guys strength isnt a budget it's putting more people on government subsidies. Let's elect a leader who can put people to work.... ROMNEY 2012!
Sandy -- If there is anything that you need help in understanding the following, please let us know.
Ben did you not see where in 2004 Romney said the blind trust is a rouse and he and anyone else with a blind trust had control of and told the trustees what to do with the money?
Ben
I understand you demand "transparency" from Obama,
but not Romney.
I understand HYPOCRITE just fine, thanks.
Sandy - And we have yet to see it from Obama. Give a little and may be the other side would too...
The GOP faithful would vote for Goofy, mickey mouse, or darth vader over Obama. AbO is their mantra, "Anyone but Obama." very similar to how many hard core democrats will vote a strict D ticket regardless of what the candidates platform supports...
"Blind faith in any ideology only makes you blind." - me
@ Tzalaran
I do not belong to any party. I do vote for the candidate.
Sad to say, decades ago when I first voted, have having members of
both parties in power was good for the country.
Balance and statesmanship.
UAW Puhleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze! "The best first thing we need to do to balance the budget is get Obama out of the White House. I think Romney has been correct and very specific on that point. Romney 2012! "
Yep! You are correct. That's all they got: Romney 2012! And I should trust him with my tax dollars when he cannot tell me why--nor even release more than 2 years' tax returns?
Aw Puhleeeeeeeeeeze: "Are you saying I need to be more worried about what Romney does with his money than what Obama has done with mine?"
Yep. But only if you want to vote Romney in so he can do what he pleases with YOUR money in the future! Puhleeeeeeeeeeeeze!
Get off of that "my money" crap already. The amount you pay doesn't amount to a drop of p!ss in the ocean and besides, you've never known where your money has gone anyway. And quit pretending that Mitt Romney cares about your individual rights. He doesn't. Never has, never will.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hsquKMi5Ec lol
When was the last time you were interviewed for a job and just deflected questions? Romney & team refuse to get specific on what he would actually do as president.
Thank you for pointing out that, despite the length and cost, a presidential campaign is basically a job interview.
When was the last time you performed so poorly in your job, costing the company money and weren't fired?
JFK - you deflected as well....
When was the last time you were the boss and half of your staff ignored you and did the opposite of what you wanted them to do, and you couldn't fire them for sabotaging your efforts.
ursula -- about the same time that i interviewed and said i hoped to change things if hired.
Polifact on President Obama's specific campaign promises that were kept:
http: //www. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/rulings/promise-kept/
And in fairness, the ones that were not kept:
http: //www. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/rulings/promise-broken/
So where are Gov. Romney's specific campaign promises on what he intends to do and how he intends to make it happen?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hsquKMi5Ec oh kay sure
As I sat there watching the interview, I couldn't believe, well, I really could believe, but I couldn't believe the lack of any details. She was saying "we are going to cut taxes for everyone, increase defense spending, and balance the budget". I was thinking how the hell are you going to do all that? When pressed for details, the Romney surrogate had none. Boy, what a surprise that was..I was so frustrated with the same old b.s., I turned it off..
Brad, I heard it on the radio and had the same reaction. I'm also not sure where the "proven record" can be found. Wasn't MA in debt when his term ended? Same thing with the regulations nonsense. I own a small business, and in two years I haven't had to comply with any new federal regulations. NJ however, is making small business owners crazy with new regs. And they complicated things by reducing the workforce in Trenton so when you call you either can't get anyone on the phone or the person you get is new (replaced a long-term employee probably) and doesn't know anything. And Christie is going to be the RNC's keynote speaker. They're all tone deaf to anything but their talking points.
Sad thing is a lot of people are buying into this no details crap like "we are going to cut taxes for everyone, increase defense spending, and balance the budget", without asking just how they plan to do it. I guess they think the tea people Koch republicans and Romney wouldn't lie to them about such an important subject. They need to just remember all the lies the republican and neo-cons told the American people from 2001 to 2008.
By da Way…….Did any of these Republican TeaBilly Conservative Politicians Vote to Repeal their Own Socialist Healthcare that they Receive.? You know…………da one that that Covers them and their Families (Including Birth Control) all paid for by Our Tax $$$$$$$$.
I hear Crickets Chirping……
Lets break this down in simple terms. Republican TeaBilly Conservative = Self Righteous Hypocrite.
Libtardspeak=Horsesh!t
dawayIseeit - New name didn't increase the IQ I see.
In fact dawayIseeit the tea people Koch republicans in the congress voted down an amendment to the repeal of the ACA that would have made anyone who voted to repeal ACA have to give up their health insurance. So they voted for tax payers to keep paying for their health insurance, while they voted to take away the tax payers health insurance. Go figure. I call that self serving.
If he's saying we can balance the budget by 2020, he's an even bigger liar than I imagined.
Oh there's no way you can imagine how big of liars Romney and these tea people can be. Nobody has that big of an imagination. As granddad would say, "those kids like to tell whoppers".
Romney lies and lies and lies.....updated daily! ;-)
http://romneytheliar.blogspot.com/
And the Odumbo camp is light on truth, success, jobs, a budget, transparency, brains, class, etc. and in the very near future, a job.
Jerry40yeardemocrat, is not just light on reality, he's joined the tea people moonbat crazy world.
Anybody seen any Obama specifics?
Health care - DONE!!
Osama Bin Laden dead - DONE!!
GM saved - DONE!!
NEXT!!!!!!!!
Odumbo - DONE!
Isn't it funny Auntie Fascist. When they ask for facts and you give them the facts they ask for, they ignore you and just post something dumb like Jerry did.
The balls in your court now Talk to the Hand. What's Romney's specifics? I suspect this will be ignored also.
Now that healthcare and Bin Laden thing really helped out the economy now didn't it? That is all you have. GM saved, how about taxpayers still on the hook for billions until their stock gets up to the $57 range. Check the price today.
"Mrs. Thurston Howell the Third" "Lovey",Mrs. Romney"There are so many things that will be open again for more attack, and you just give more material for more attack, and that's the answer. We've given all you people need to know and understand about our financial situation and about how we live our life," Mrs. Romney said on ABC."
Why not make people feel better and release them. His father did. It makes you think that he is hiding something bad.
Obama 12 years
Biden 14 years
Gingrich 1 year
Romney 1 year
Santorum 4 years
McCain 2 years
Palin 2 years
W Bush 8 years
Cheney 8 years
Clinton 8 years
G. Bush 3 years
Nixon 4 years
George Romney 12 years
Yes, Talk to the Hand. See my post at 3.6 with links. Specific promises and the results.
He hasn't released them yet as far as I know. And why would he so soon? He isn't even the official (even though the writing is on the wall) candidate yet. He is smarter than you think. Look what Obama did with Rubio's immigration stance. Executive order to upstage. And one of two other "opportunistic" moves which slip my mind right now.
ACA done. Will bankrupt nation. You call that good?
GM saved. More like unions paid off for the short term. Another thing not good for the Nation.
Osama Dead. There you have one. I will agree to that. Thank you Navy Seals. Obama not so much but hey you need something for four years.
Job 1 copied and posted more tripe and dribble I see. What a waste.
rukidding ... post a source for the ACA "bankrupting" the nation. In fact post a source for anything.
Matthew, thanks for your post at 3.6. The President has actually admitted to making mistakes and owns up to it.
My ass Layton. I would like a link for that.
The Difference between a Conservative and a Liberal that even the dimmer Libtards can Understand. Maybe?
A CONSERVATIVE signs his checks on the FRONT.
A LIBERAL signs its checks on the BACK.
Get a job Libtards/turds
Your bank honors using an "X", instead of a real signature?
jerry40year........ Thank you for showing what a true CONSERVATIVE is. You just made a good case for not being a CONSERVATIVE. Thank You your words speak well of CONSERVATIVES.
@jerry, you need to update your jokes. That's an old one. Besides, i have no problem signing the back of my check.
Stupid comment. go take a nap.
Get a job Libtards/turds. Then maybe someone will listen.
And part of the problem is that you have no problems taking handouts, as you stated.
Why so angry Jerry? Forget to put your X on the front of your check and they shut the electricity off to your trailer house and now your beer is going to get hot in the fridge?
Such a dush.
It's so funny that anyone that disagrees with the right wing, according to them, doesn't have a job. That means that those 68,000,000 voters that voted for Obama don't have jobs.
I wonder how that explains that in my city, Obama polls at 64%, favorable, and the unemployment rate is 6.1 percent?
I find it interesting how someone can come on this board and say get a job. If you have time to wirte on this board during working hours you are either retired or don't have a job or are cheating your employer using company time for this stuff. If you are owner of the business, you need to go out and get more customers and stop messing around on this message board.
I, for one, am retired but is Jerry and some of the others who seem to think anyone who isn't a right wing nut job Fascist wannabe is out of work.
job -- not sure what a "dush" is
what city do you live in?
when you see numbers like 64% for your city that are generally 20% lower throughout the rest of the US and 6.1% unemployment, again 20% below the US average i would be interested in your opinion as to what has caused these large positive differences for your city
Jerry, the front of a check is signed by a machine, the back is signed by a person.
Most places with electricity and internet have auto-deposit . . . kind of gives you an idea of how old that joke is.
That's what I told the douche bag yesterday about direct deposit, and quite frankly was offended by his notion that I am a conservative, in as much as I sign the front of checks to pay bills and buy things that help keep the economy afloat.
This proud liberal family will be supporting President Obama just as we did last election. This proud liberal family will be voting to kick every lying, filthy, obstructionist, republican sewer rat out of office.
can someone explain to me how the most recent poll shows obama and romney tied? Are their that many dumbed down fox viewers?
I have never been comfortable with the democrat partys ability to get their message out effectively which puts this election right square in the hands of the mis-informed fox, limbaugh crowd.
i'm worried about all our futures if romney wins this thing. Our only hope would then be to maintain control of the senate and win back the house. if romney wins, he has to be neutered for the sake of all our futures.
If you are worried about the polls and your handouts, and you should be, then you better get a job by November.
grow up and leave something intelligent for us to discuss or STFU
What would a Libtard know of intelligent?
We know you ain't it!
If you can't spell or use the word intelligence correctly Jerry you shouldn't use it. that just shows how intelligent you really are. You'd better stick to smaller words from now on.
mrriggs, my husband and I were wondering the same thing - how can the polls be so close? We decided most of the polls are skewed by the media to keep those of us who pay attention to such things wondering what the heck is going on.
Nate Silver says "...you are sampling a subset of the population rather than everyone in America". So I take most of those polls with a grain of salt. Today fox has President Obama up by 4.
If the polls were showing a landslide, interest this far out would decline and as a result "News" organizations would receive less viewers. In order to keep ratings up, "leftist" news orgs are going to show a dead heat, and Fox will show the president with a small lead (within margin of error). This stirs up emotions, gets people interested in WTF is going on, and increases viewers.
increased viewers = increased revenue.
simple really. i can get a poll to say whatever i want by controling the sampled group...
How can Romney give you specifics when he's yet to figure out just what you want to hear?
And He's STILL better than Odumbo.
Sandusky: Still better than Odumbo. Manson: Still better than Odumbo. Dahmer: Still better than Odumbo.
Get the picture.
Sandusky, Manson and Dahmer? Is this your dance card or your car pool?
Their his hero's Auntie Fascist.
Based on what? If we don't know who he is or what he REALLY believes how can we possibly hope to make a good comparison? Unless the decision is due to bigotry or party affiliation alone how can we make any true assessment? Romney is secretive about his tax returns, he doesn't want scrutiny about his business acumen even though he is using business experience as a qualification.
Folks all ya Heard from da TeaBilly’s for the past few years is:
We want our Country Back.
We Cleaned up or Rally really Nice.
Now all ya hear is:
Anybody but Obama.
It Shows ya how they have no Leadership, Direction, Solutions or Substance and have Lowered all Expectations and Standards.
You Bet Cha….Fer Sure.
I have Jerry40 on "ignore" so I don't read his posts because it's usually the same old radical right wing racist garbage. So this is for you, Jerry40;
I don't know who said it. If anyone does, please let me know so I can give the credit due. "There are people so afraid of black power in action that they fight against their own best interest". Pretty well sums it up the Obama haters...
Obama/Biden 2012
These tea people are so dumb Diane they don't even know what their best interests are.
"There are people so afraid of black power in action that they fight against their own best interest". Pretty well sums it up the Obama haters...
Quite a load of manure in that one statement...
What does that mean, exactly? So are you saying all who vote against Obama are racists? Hillary Clinton, too for daring to run against Obama? By "own self interest", do you think our self interest is to suck our thumbs and wait for a government check in the mail?
....or actually are you saying by "black power in action", that Obama is in truth in alignment with black separatists? That the "uniter" Obama is actually in office to get even with whites for the past history of slavery?
Wow, you lefties play the race card recklessly, dont you?
They the majority of the right wing don't love or even like Willard. They just see him as a possible tool to get rid of that darn black guy that is smarter than them all.
Race card played Check.
lets put it this way if mitt where too win the pres during the first years in time the people of these united states start to see that econ and health, jobs arent moving the way mitt said it would if he took office. would the Republicans start bashing him like they did Obama or would they say was OBAMA fault. lets wait and see if Mitt wins hope but see what happens vote OBAMA
ROMPPY THE CLOWN never had any "WHERES THE BEEF" in anything!! he is a snake oil salesman that FAST TALKS his way out of ANY SERIOUS INSIGHTS on any QUESTIONS that have been asked.
He is a SHYSTER, Con-artist for a POLITICIAN. It is a DISGRACE to this COUNTRY!!
He does not represent DEMOCRACY AT ALL. It is CAPITAL COMMUNISM and all his HIGH END RICH CRONIES who want to TURN our COUNTRY to a ZIG HEIST!!! Give THEM all your LIFE'S hard work so they continue their LAVISH LIFESTYLE off the BACKS of HARD WORKING AMERICANS. PERIOD !
OUST THIS DICTATORS from office in NOVEMBER ! AND NEVER HAVE THESE RADICALS BACK !!
Romney does need to give more specifics....it is not enough just to bash Obama.
Romney should release his tax returns, get that behind him , and set out a strong conservative market based reform agenda, and get a strong conservative VP selection to help him sell it.
Obama has little chance if Romney can do this.
"Mrs. Thurston Howell the Third" "Lovey",Mrs. Romney"There are so many things that will be open again for more attack, and you just give more material for more attack, and that's the answer. We've given all you people need to know and understand about our financial situation and about how we live our life," Mrs. Romney said on ABC."
Job1, isn't that an enlightening statement. She and Mitt get to decide what we need to know. Sounds like a Romney presidency (god forbid) would make the Bush/Cheney group look good in retrospect.
Bob, I agree. Let's see what President Obama's agenda and Gov. Romney's agenda are head-to-head. Fact for fact.
Let's get rid of the negative BS, the sterotypes, and the rants and get down to the campaign facts.
I have to agree with you (call Guinness Book!). So far, I have seen nothing in Gov. Romney's plan that President George W. Bush didn't already do (and with the results that we have seen). JP MorganChase and Barclays are already in the tank, or should be, for their financial manipulations. How far will they go with nobody at the helm to make some kind of fuss over it?
And if Gov. Romney's real big on the coverup now, what is he going to be like as President? I don't know about you, but I'm old enough to remember President Nixon and what fun that was.
Bob in VA, for once we agree on something. (all but your last sentence)
Here are the specifics on the Obama plan to go along with his big government agenda.
Straight from Mr. Obama's fourth proposed budget. Here is the debt he is proposing to foist on US, our kids and grandchildren:

Almost $26 Trillion in debt proposed /projected by Mr. Obama. And we all know that in actual practice it will turn out to be a lot higher if Obama is returned to office. And on July 16, on Morning Joe, Mr. Obama's spokesperson, Rep. Jim Clyburn(D), admitted that the Obama plan necessarily will require middle class tax hikes in the years going forward after the election, in order to pay for the deficit spending and debt laden Obama plan. Too bad Mr. Obama can't discuss his budget plan with the American people because he is too busy playing with smoke and mirrors.
Obama is light on America. He hates success, hard work and basically the american dream.
Who cares what Romney promises? He promised to turn over his tax returns some time in April this year. He lacks a plan, a message, and integrity.
I think your right about the plan, but not the message or his integrity. He's a good Man!! I'm voting for him but I still want to see his plan on Health Care. You can't say your gonna repeal Obama care without presenting a plan of your own! His campaign needs to tighten up!!
Hey Willie. show me the MONEY!
You mean like "Pass the Bill (Obamacare) and then we will show you what is in it" from Nancy Pelosi? King Barry did nothing he promised when he ran for POTUS so what difference does a level of specificity have to do with anything?
The voters decide how specific a candidate must be about any subject. If they are not specific enough they do not get elected. If are then their chances improve. There is really nothing to debate except for the Obama surrogates demanding more information from Romney and Romeny's surrogates saying he has provided enough. They can cast their vote any way they want to but the voting public makes the decision on what is enough.

Not saying anything sure worked for Obama in 2008.
Amazing how the Obamanites demand everythng of others but nothing of the Divider in Chief.
Where is the transparency in his administration?
Did Gitmo close? I must have missed it.
Where are the school transcripts or the hate America items he published in College? You want to see things on Romney, demand them from Obama.
The wars didn't end, only the agreement Bush made thru 2012 in Iraq happend. Sorry he can't take the credit for that, though he did try.
If I don't cut the deficit in half, then I don't deserve a 2nd term.
How about the unauthorized "military actions" in how many countries? THREE
Wake up or you will all end up like the rats following the piper.
No sitting president should be running neck & neck with a challenger. Course if he had any positive things from his administration to run on, guess he wouldn't be slinging mud!!!
Tell us why neither of you Obamas have your law licenses when your education was free?
@Momma -
You are certainly the FAUXNews spokesperson aren't you?
As to your last point: if you read anything at all you'd know that neither Obama's NEED a law degree now and probably will not ever practice law again so why keep paying the licensing fees if not practicing. Come on lady do some reading!
