Feisty,

When TimRomney meets hisselfs coming back, we'll just KNOW.

I think Pawlenty meant that Obama is all beer shart.

Better than being a beer short...

Or wearing a beer shirt.

Or beer shorts, for that matter.

I like a beer now then he said. Translation : I like to hang with my weeping Ohioan Boehner for a good cry now and then......Golly gee, look all the beers you have in here, I bet my boy Bone could drink this place dry in 3 hours tops!!

Originally, this article Header said Obama was "All beer and no foam."

So you know.

That's an analogy that Pawlenty says "most Americans can relate to."

Oh really! Did anyone ever tell TPaw that he's about as funny as an ingrown toenail? Man, those teabags are easily amused.

tony, your other mugshot you use is better.

RFO,

A great post.

On a serious note, have you noticed Romney's dye job lately? It looks a little cheap. What a tight A. bastard! He avoids paying taxes, sends jobs overseas and probably is a bad tipper to boot. Doesn't sound like Presidential material to me.

Obama 2012

Well said, Mr. Pawlenty; great metaphor, and just look at all of the libs you pissed off just on this thread!

PS: Yreka, I'm betting Romney paid more taxes, proportionately, than you did. Libs hate paying taxes themselves (to wit, Turbo Tax Geithner); however, they love it when others have to pay, especially those who are more successful than they are.

"Cross your arms!" he instructed them after one smiling snapshot. Demonstrating a grimace and a tough guy look, he added, "Now, look angry!"

How many beers had he had at this point? Or was it simply too much ice cream?

sampled local ice cream

All foam and no beer... needs to learn how to be American... hates America... Socialist.... not even American

And, HE is dividing the country.

especially those who are more successful than they are.

What is your measure of success? He was given a job he couldn't fail at, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, we are to believe he single-handedly saved the Olympics - with a boat load of Federal Assistance. Sure, he has talent to turn millions into more millions as long as he has massive guarantees - with those odds in your favor, it would be hard NOT to succeed. If you want to talk about brilliant successful people, there are plenty other than Romney, and more often than not, they aren't rich.

Teetotaler Republican'ts get chastised by their quarter-witted women for mentioning beer in their political speeches, then talk about how they still relate to "Joe Six-pack."

Yeah? Well Romney is flat root beer, take that! Someone needs to tell T-paw that Romney uses a teleprompter. Just sayin'...

spider do you have to pay taxes when all you do is collect?

Run your gums all you want, but the bottom line, AMERICA is sick of Barrack Obama. This man would tell you anything for a vote. This man sues States within YOUR own country in defence of illegal immigrants. This folks is a BIG RED FLAG when a President of your country defends the illegal immigrants inside our country instead of US citizens. This man apoligizes to other countries for OUR behavior. This man does nothing to protector our border. Do you want me to go on, cause I can ALL WEEK LONG. Vote for REAL change in November. No Mas, No Obama, 2012. We won't even get into the Solyndra, or the Fast and Furious. Please wake up America. We won't even get into the un-employeement rate. This man cannot run on his Health Care plan either.

If I was to catagorize Obama as a beer, it would be Schlitz, and you know the old saying, "Schlitz gives you the S#itz."

Hey hill, layoff spider. You should want him collecting as he might vote for yourside if he did receive a taxpayer funded check every month.

Run your gums all you want, but the bottom line, AMERICA is sick of Barrack Obama.

Didn't realize you spoke for America. Actually, if anyone DOES speak for America, it is Mr Obama.

Be as it may, he's still the front-runner in the polls.

Vote for REAL change in November.

We already have real change in Obama. We no longer have expensive wars, the economy is now stable and slowly getting better. You want us to screw it all up by electing Romney, going to war with Iran and increasing the public debt even more by increasing taxes on the middle class and reducing them on the rich.

Mr Pawlenty is right in that it is not possible to live on froth.

I wonder if he realizes that it is also not possible to live on beer.

Repubs are all Near Beer without any beer hops within the brew at offering a plan for the entire National economy after 8 years of failed trickle down economic policies that took a damaging toll in 2008. And compared to now, the economy of now is much better than 2008. In retrospect, what makes Repubs (Mitt Romney) think any beer hops reside in their economic brew???? These people are unbelieveably selfish and only concerned about their (Coporate) economy instead of our National (entire) US economy.

Be as it may, he's still the front-runner in the polls.

Within the margin of error, -only if you count polls taken with 10% more "registered" democrats. It's not even fall yet. Most voters haven't even thought about politics right now, they are enjoying their summer.

We already have real change in Obama.

Yes, an additional $5 trillion on the tab in HALF the time it took Bush.

increasing the public debt even more by increasing taxes on the middle class and reducing them on the rich.

I think you have that backwards, Byrum. The public debt has gone up $5Trillion in less than 4 years under Obama. (It took Bush 8 years to do the same). I thought Obama said he would cut the deficit in half? If you think that Obamacare will not raise taxes on everyone, including the middle class, then Mrs. Pelosi hasn't let you "read the bill yet." There are many hidden taxes in the healthcare bill that have NOTHING to do with healthcare. Such as when you sell your house, ...3% of the sale price will be collected to the government under the new healthcare bill. I don't know about you, but 3% on the value of my home is a $hitload of cash that the government doesn't deserve. You lefties seem to confuse the "rich" and small business owners. Tax small business owners, increase their employees healthcare costs and they will not hire, and isn't it all about Jobs? Gallup seems to think that is the #1 issue concerning voters.

It's so funny to see the toxic venom so may of you spew about Romney and the Republican Party in general. Yet the man you support is a total failure. He talks a good game but that's about it. He won in 2008 and even though I didn't vote for him I supported him as our president. I don't think he deserves a second term and I think Romney has the chance to do a good job. Sure he's rich and successful. His company made a lot of money. Some of the companies they invested in did well while others failed. That's the way business works. Ultimately they made money. If I had lots of money perhaps I would have offshore accounts and so would most of you!!! Let's talk about why the person you support will do a better job, not how much the other guy sucks!

Yes, an additional $5 trillion on the tab in HALF the time it took Bush.

That's because Mr Bush kept his two wars off the books. Mr Bush also added an unfunded 1/2 Trilion mandate to Medicare (part D.)

In addition, Mr Bush also left us with a destroyed financial system, which took quite a bit of money to fix.

I think you have that backwards, Byrum. The public debt has gone up $5Trillion in less than 4 years under Obama. (It took Bush 8 years to do the same).

May I suggest that you actually bother to examine what happened? Or are we supposed to not care about how and when the debt was incurred and just blame Obama because it was put on the books during his watch?

I thought Obama said he would cut the deficit in half? If you think that Obamacare will not raise taxes on everyone, including the middle class, then Mrs. Pelosi hasn't let you "read the bill yet." There are many hidden taxes in the healthcare bill that have NOTHING to do with healthcare. Such as when you sell your house, ...3% of the sale price will be collected to the government under the new healthcare bill. I don't know about you, but 3% on the value of my home is a $hitload of cash that the government doesn't deserve.

If it was hidden, how come you have some special knowledge about it? Or maybe it wasn't hidden at all. In any case, you are wrong. It is not 3% of the sale price, and it won't hit middle class sellers.

From: http://www.factcheck.org/2010/04/a-38-percent-sales-tax-on-your-home/

But the claim that this would amount to a $15,200 tax on the sale of a typical $400,000 home is utterly false.

The truth is that only a tiny percentage of home sellers will pay the tax. First of all, only those with incomes over $200,000 a year ($250,000 for married couples filing jointly) will be subject to it. And even for those who have such high incomes, the tax still won’t apply to the first $250,000 on profits from the sale of a personal residence — or to the first $500,000 in the case of a married couple selling their home.

Fact of the matter is, you are just sloganeering. You have incomplete information, and you haven't bothered to educate yourself about the issues you are commenting about. Or you are just lying. Which is it?

You lefties seem to confuse the "rich" and small business owners. Tax small business owners, increase their employees healthcare costs and they will not hire, and isn't it all about Jobs? Gallup seems to think that is the #1 issue concerning voters.

What you righties seem to not understand is that we 'lefties' are often members of the rich and small business owners. We understand these issues and they are nowhere near as hard or as difficult on small business as you seem to think. Often, they make things easier. True, in every single individual case, but despite your obvious contempt for Ms Pelosi and Mr Obama, they are conscientious public servants. Their job is to work for the public good and that is what they have been trying to do, despite vociferous objections from some of the very people they are trying to help.

Let's talk about why the person you support will do a better job, not how much the other guy sucks!

Never mind the fact that Mr Romney's brilliant idea of decreasing taxes even further on the rich will pretty much ruin the middle class, the American consumer's buying ability and eventually the economy.

Mr Romney does not have the wherewithal to stand up to Benjamin Netanyahu. Israel will attack Iran, a President Romney will support his attack and we simply cannot afford a war with Iran. In fact, sanctions against Iran are working. Once we attack Iran, world sympathy will shift and we will not be able to maintain those sanctions.

We simply cannot afford a war with Iran and the subsequent increase in oil prices for as long as it lasts. Obama has proven capable of not attacking Iran.

@ Byron Raum,

We already have real change in Obama. We no longer have expensive wars, the economy is now stable and slowly getting better.

Tell me Byron, how long have our troops been home now? Gotta get them home before the election. Oh, that's right, thanks for reminding me Byron, "The Privite Sector is doing fine".

Maybe you did'nt see the jobs added for last month? Is that what you call slowly getting better? You better do some SERIOUS reading. The jobless rate is @ 8.2 %. The average monthly job growth rate over the last 3 months averages to 75,000 a month. We need between 125,000-150,000 to keep up with the population growth. Thanks for playin Byron.

What you righties seem to not understand is that we 'lefties' are often members of the rich and small business owners.

Then, since you worship at the church of Obama, you must hate yourself for being so successful.

Mr Bush also left us with a destroyed financial system, which took quite a bit of money to fix

I guess it had nothing to do with giving "no money down" home loans (CRA) to people who shouldn't have qualified had anything to do with it.

Byron, Our debt is almost $16 Trillion now. Spin it however you like, Obama said he would "cut the deficit in half" back in 2008 and did not accomplish that. Just like a major leauge coach, he didn't produce for 4 yrs. - now, he's has to go.

Harry Reid: Bain Investor Told Me That Mitt Romney 'Didn't Pay Any Taxes For 10 Years'

Bryon Raum,

Actually, 'civilized' man relied relied on beer and wine at least 4-5000 years. Due to reliance on surface water (most dug wells are really not much more than cisterns fed by local water in the soil) which was easily contanimated by feces (human and animal) as well as decaying animal and vegetable material. The more civilized man became, the greater the concentration of people using the same surface water that they also polluted. Hence, beer (with its inherent cooking process) and wine (with a high enough concentration of alcohol to virtually disinfect itself) became the "safe" drinks, while water was always suspect. This situation lasted until essentially the 19th century CE, when modern public water treatment became relatively common. Still incidents, like the Milwaukee public water wisteria contamination, still occur. Evidence shows that beer was a major part of the diet of the Egyptian pyramid and tomb builders. St. Augustine decreed that each monk in his order was to receive a daily allotment of one gallon of beer. One of the earliest writings ever discovered is a Sumerian recipe for beer.

Since you seem uninformed about the important place of beer in history and human health, what other fallacies and half-lies do you believe?

Tommy Lee,

Perhaps you would prefer to return to 2008 when monthly private sector job growth was - (negative) 450-600k per month?

BY the way, you might look at the first and second terms of Franklin Roosevelt as President. Remarkable parallels to Obama's success with Congress. Yet, the recession did collapse into a depression like that of 1929-1939 due to a few hold-overs from FDR's presidency, FDIC insurance, the centralization of money printing with the Federal Reserve (it had been available for any "national" bank), and Social Security.

Tim Pawlenty is ......oh why bother.

sounds like obama

i'm for traditional marriage no i changed my mind i'm whatever you want me to be get your votes that's why i have spent more time more than any other president trying to keep my job because my record stinks this is why unemployment is 8% i have to worry about my job first

plstop, please stop...we outgrew "I know you are but what am I' in the third grade, you teabaggers should join us in adulthood.

Didn't Boner and the teabaggers run on jobs, jobs, jobs TWO FRIGGIN YEARS AGO...so everytime you mention 8% unemployment remember its the teabags in the House that promised to fix the economy, instead they have made it worse.

I'm sorry, but would someone tell ex governor Pawlenty that, he should have some respect for the president, as it used to be before we had a black president. And also, I'd like to tell him to go *&^% someone, perhaps himself.

You mean the same kind of respect that Harry Reid demonstrated when he called GWB a loser to a bunch of school children? That kind of "respect?" Screw you and the current president, whether he's black, white, Asian, gay, straight...whatever. He's still a flippin' loser!!!

Not sure what you are complaining about, jst.

If you don't like Mr Romney's stand on something, just wait a bit.

About Reid calling Bush a loser (From http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-250_162-693713.html ) :-

Shortly after the event Reid called the White House to apologize, his spokeswoman Tessa Hafen said. Reid spoke with Bush adviser Karl Rove, asking him to convey the apology to Bush, who was traveling in Europe.

The Nevada Democrat expressed "regret for the comments, that it was inappropriate," Hafen said. Reid was giving a late speech in Salt Lake City and was unavailable for comment, she said.

So when can we expect your apology and Mr Pawlenty's apology?

Excellent post. I have to say that Willard reminds of the Wizard of Oz; nothing but frilly hairdos and pants worn at his waist. Too strange for words

MITT THE TWITT (as he is called in England )IS ALL BS!

Mitt Flip Flop Romney, the one time governor of Mass. Has supported Abortion, Gay Rights, Gun Control, Stem Cell Research and has reverse himself on all of these issues.

He took both sides on the financial bailout, the stimulus bill, the auto loan package; His biggest Flip-Flop of all Health Care Reform The national Law is modeled on the one that he championed as governor in Mass that requires every citizen to have health insurance. Now he has Flipped-Flopped Mr. Flop has taken a hard slide to the right pandering and boot licking to the tea party.

Mitt Flip-Flop Romney, a wishy-washy, flip flopping politician without any core convictions, principals or believes a man who will say or do anything to get elected telling one crowd one thing and another crowd another. You simply can’t trust this guy to tell you the truth.

Mitt Romney argues he would be a good president because of his experience at Bain Capital. However, evidence is piling up that he made millions at Bain by firing American workers, outsourcing
jobs, and keeping his money overseas.

Romney could shed some light on this by releasing multiple years of his tax returns, as every major presidential candidate has done for decades. This practice was actually pioneered by Romney's father, George, who released 12 years of tax returns when he ran for president in 1968.

WHAT IS MITT THE TWIT HIDING?

However, Mitt the Twit Romney has only released one year of his tax returns, increasing suspicion he got rich mainly by dismantling the American middle class.

WHAT IS MITT THE TWIT HIDING?

These creeps probably paid more to hatch for funneling in illegal workers, and to people like Frank Lunz and his team of brain moles to hatch these rousing names for fake citizen activist groups, than they did in taxes 11 years.

If Rmoney gets elected thats going to be his cabinet. Donald Trump will be the head of the Treasury. What a better man to do it. After he is the only man to bankrupt a casino.

Hey facts (you really need a new handle), that list was copied from Rolling Stone. Plagarism is the one thing that can get you banned at FR (About the only thing).

Why don't you do a little research of your own once in a while?

BTW you don't think that anyone with the time could come up with a similar list for Obama? They all have big money donors, the sooner you realize that the better you'll sleep at night.

Sure smitty or maybe Obama could name Jeffery Immelt his Job czar. "Those shovel ready jobs, hahaha...weren;t wuite as shovel ready as we thought they were"

You make it sound like only multi-millionaires and billionaires have anything to gain from a Romney presidency. That is wrong, if Obama has his way effective in January taxes will go up on 1.2 million Sub-Chapter S corporations with an estimated job loss of 700,000. Don't go implying that tax cuts for the "rich" don't help the average person. Obama holding tax increases like a sword of Damocles over the rich have kept them from hiring. We cannot make it through another four years of this mis-management,

White Collar Auto, it is possible that Obama's big money supporters have abandoned him. Before he died, I understand Steve Jobs went to the White House. Obama had no idea what businesses needed to survive and would not take advice from a genius who built a small business into one of America's great success stories. I see a lot of the rich who supported Obama in 2008 jumping ship. Also, I understand that his donations from small donors on the internet are down.

Bruce,

Yes, how did Apple become so large? By moving jobs to Chinese sweat shops so bad that some of their employees, virtual prisoners, commited suicide to escape. But it more than doubled Apple's market value, so it was just good business.

Bruce,

Contrary to popular political rhetoric, slow job growth is NOT related to either tax laws (real or proposed) or "Obamacare". Slow job growth IS related to: growth in automation (design of simplifified products assembled by machines with minimal human support or labor), off-shoring of labor intensive and easily shipped products, and primarily by the lack of market consumption (either in the US or in our global trading partners).

Remember, the USA is not the only economy struggling. In Europe, only Germany and a few very small players are staying even. Even the Chinese and Indian economies are slowing. This means less money for American goods overseas and fewer jobs at home. Domestically, low consumer confidence, contraction in credit availability, lower real pay checks for fewer people means less money for American goods here at home, and in Mexico and Canada. Note, today's article on Americans holding on to their cars for an average of TEN years and up to 200k miles. The average trade used to be at about 3 years and less than 70k miles. Now, where does tax code enter these conditions?

All these bills had fleas and had to be blocked because they were bad for America. Why doesn't Obama come up with bills without strings and conditions that make them onerous to America?

Everything Obama does has only ONE goal... To weaken America and kill its middle class and small business! OH I for got - Solyndra - Obama did that! (Remember Obama's speech on small business or have you convenient forgotten?)

Obamas credit card reform? A FULL YEAR for credit card companies to raise rates, bankrupting hundreds of thousands of Americans

ObamaCare? Good lord what IS in those 2700 pages? Why the 5000 NEW medical experts at the IRS?

Tax raises? Wait till January 1 and see how your paycheck shrinks - that is IF you are lucky and your employer does not shrink your job first because of Obama policy!.

jstdafacts, who didn't learn English or grammar growing up?

Who has been sitting on over 25 House-passed bills waiting for a vote in the Senate?

Who has truly been the party of obstruction? You Guessed it...you and the Democrats!

What ever happened to the $40,000 Obama gave his children last year so he could evade tax on that income?

He should practice what he preaches and PAY HIS FAIR SHARE! What a crook!

Hey T-Paw...can you say "Obomney Care"...oops, not when you're standing next to Mitt on the debate stage.

How about that T-Paw...all dick and no balls!

Romney Tax Returns: 2000-2012 Where is the petition???

Nobody on the Left requested that of Obama. I'd much rather see Hussein's university records and applications.

that would be President Obama - numb nuts

Didn't I recall Perry saying that Mitt was "All hat and no horse"?

Are you referring to Obama?

Better than the bacteria infected beer of the other guy that is killing our economy and our nation one hateful action at a time!

Dan,

Interesting point. That should liven up state dinners under a Romney administration. I can see it now: no British, no Germans, no French, no Chinese, no Japanese; just Muslims and Mormons, with a few odd Seventh Day Adventists. And when our friends do show up, he can wittily insult them and claim to have said something else the next day.

Red, how exactly can we get out Bush's eighty plus year worst ever economic mess he gave Obama?

What exactly will work and what will Romney do?

Romney's economic policies are Bush on steroids. But it will work this time because Romney has the magic underwear.

Rob00,

Obama ran on just that. Apparently he didn't know anything in 2008 either.

Obama is like warm..., stale beer.

I love my beer and find any comparison between him and beer frankly demeaning to beer. I get the analogy though he does love to hear himself speak (teleprompter?)
