Yeah, just what we need, more Dubya creative accounting.

Obama/Biden 2012

Love's me some Feisty Redhead :P

Yeah Feisty,

Wasn't Portman the same guy who underestimated the cost of that Medicare Part B program. Said it was 1/3rd the cost that it really was, and that one Republican Congressman from Michigan, Nick Smith was going to blow the whistle on that?

Well they (maybe Portman) threatened to ruin the political career of Nick Smith's son if he didn't shut his cake hole.

You gotta love Republicans eating their own. :o)

Sorry righties and lefties, I am recreating the old Meadow Party ( I ousted Cutter John as chairman). With Bill the Cat (a once dead cat with a crush on Jean Kirkpatrick) as the presidential candidate and Opus the Penguin who had a crush on Marilyn Quayle, for veep. This is leadership we truly need at this time! "ACK"

Projection Politics at it's worst -- Portman and Romney would be two of a kind!

Desperate attacks, like what, that Romney has lied about his taxes before and is lying again now? And perhaps Portman thinks it is complete conspiracy theory like the Birthers, or false equivalency silliness like the Transcripters, or McCarthyism to expect Romney to actually come clean on the most basic transparency all candidates do and release at least 8 years of tax returns. The "severely" desperate ads Romney has run with blatant misquotes, out of context twisting of words, and just outright lying, puleeze!

GOPisextinct -- Agreed. And what do you expect with all the Dubya people on Team Romney, even the old Jack Abramoff crew are back at work for Team Romney. Portman is so boring he will put everyone to sleep--that's the new plan.

Desperate are the flagrant lies that Willard has trotted out the past couple days saying Obama didn't want active duty service men to vote on OH and this whole welfare lie that Willard is spewing today. In fact, desperate campiagns often accuse the other campaign of being desperate, don't they Portman?

Republicans can't handle the truth.

I can't recall the last time Mitt Romney or anyone in the GOP told an actual factual statement. But Mitt is just one, in a long long line of Republican liars. Now the Democrats are pushing back hard against their lies, and the only thing Mitt & his fellow Republicans can do is tell more lies, hoping that just one lie somewhere, will stick.

Everything Obama does is desperate.

Romney victorious in a landslide. You may buy Obama's lies as to what is happening in Ohio but all of the military lining up against him think differently.

@Conservative Rebellion

If Robme were to win, it will only be due to voter disenfranchising. It certainly will not be a landslide. Nate has odds at 72% for Obama. Go figure.

Who is Nate and why should anyone care. Vegas oddsmakers are picking Romney.

Romney has outraised Obama for the last three months. Last month 90% were donations 250& and under.

In polls not slanted heavily Democrat Romney leads. In polls slanted heavily Democrat Romney is close.

Real Americans are disgusted with "governance" from the left as demonstrated in 2010, especially the Obama brand of governance.

No such thing as "voter disenfranchising", voter fraud from the left? Yes, lots of it.

You may buy Obama's lies as to what is happening in Ohio but all of the military lining up against him think differently.

Vegas oddsmakers are picking Romney.

Of course, you have a reputable source to back up your claim(s)..?

The Romney campaign is becoming too obvious. The minute they accuse President Obama of something you know exactly what they are up to.

Having to take words out of context and change the entire meaning of what President Obama was saying and then Romney spent two weeks with his "we did build it" signs. Sounds pretty desperate to me.

Romney needs to release his tax returns and show us exactly the kind of businessman he is and how he got where he is today. Romney couldn't even be confirmed to a cabinet post without 6 years of tax returns.

So are the republicans really telling us we need to vet the president less than the cabinet?

Did Romney ask for more than 1 year for the VP slot? I'll bet he did because it is important information.

Romney's statement just went through my brain. The one where he said you wouldn't want a President who paid more taxes than he owed. (No matter how small that amount may be) is, I think the rest of Romney's sentence.

VOTE FOR SANITY....VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012

Conservative Rebellion: "Who is Nate and why should anyone care"

See for yourself. Even the Vegas oddsmakers should care:

http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/

Obama needs to release the records he spent all that money having sealed so that we can see how inept he is. The man couldn't even write his own memoirs.

When is Obama going to start telling us what a fantastic job he's done? When is he going to start touting his record of cutting the deficit? holding unemployment to 5%? transparency? no lobbyists in his administration?

You think anyone should believe Senile Dirty Harry? He will not release his tax returns.

The IRS has vetted Romney's tax returns. That droning is just blather to deflect from a failed President who wants four more years to convince himself he really did fail.

Dick Morris (who ran the Clinton's and also analyzes polls, and has been in politics for forty years) says Romney will win in a landslide.

Conservative Rebellion - again with the lies about Obama paying to have records sealed. There are no records that Obama has PAID to have sealed. Get over it!

Everyone's college transcripts are sealed - period!

What a pathetic group of losers the GOP has!

Obama/Biden 2012

@Seeking

So is everyone's tax returns, but certain people are demanding to see a certain Presidential Hopeful's tax returns....

Hypocrite much?

"That droning is just blather to deflect from a failed President who wants four more years to convince himself he really did fail."

If and when anyone figures out what that means, could you please let the rest of us know? Thanks!

You are right Dennis. Their reasoning is because he is the incumbent and the race appears close. I hadn't checked it lately. Just put 5000 on Romney. Wish me luck. Not that I'll need it.

Sure JoAnne, it means he considers himself a mastermind when he's really just a failed demagogue without a clue except his own sense of inflated self-importance.His only accomplishment is campaigning and winning elections, but he didn't even build that. Someone did it for him.

How many of you lefties are going to see 2016 in the theaters?

RCP (Average of polls) as of 8/5/2012

8 Swing States: Obama leads in 7, Romney leads in 1.

Delegates: Obama = Solid(142)+Likely(37)+Lean(68)+Swing(85) = 332*

Delegates: Romney = Solid(76)+Likely(55)+Lean(60)+Swing(15) = 206

Total Delegates: [332+206 = 538] Win = 270*

http://www1.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/2012_elections_electoral_college_map.html

Just put 5000 on Romney. Wish me luck.

What was that old saying again about a fool and his money?

Conservative - the difference with the tax returns is that it has been the standard for every Presidential candidate to release at least 5 years - EVERY one. Until Mitt - of course. I'm sure you won't understand but that does raise a red flag - unless you're completely clueless.

Obama/Biden 2012

Al, thanks for the laugh.

Of course, you have a reputable source to back up your claim(s)..?

Well.. okay then!

I didn't think so... but figured I would ask just for "grins"...

Dennis,

You guys just don't get it. These left leaning organizations and pollsters keep putting out their biased polls (some lean Dem by as much as 11 point sampling factor) and present it as the state of the voting public. It's just not so. Real Americans know those polls are biased. So when you tell me that The RCP average leans Obama it means nothing because 90% of the polls in the average are biased.

Here are the numbers to "take to the bank".

40+ months of govt unemployment figures above 8%.

GDP a paltry 1.4%

100,000 pages of job killing regulations created by the Obama regime.

1 million fewer jobs in the private sector since he was inaugurated.

Energy costs have skyrocketed during his administration

# of our brave soldiers killed in Afghanistan has triple since he took office.

Just to name a few of his failures that will place Romney in the White House. My take is Dirty Harry knows this is his last hurrah, that's why he's fast and loose with the lies.

Thank you for your concern Al....but, no "good luck" wish?

Conservative Rebellion

A guy who five years ago was writing about baseball? Really? And he works for the NY Times? I'm supposed to take that seriously?

Well gees, you'll take one oddsmaker's pick and run with that, when in reality most have listed ten different candidates to win since the beginning of the GOP/TP primary. The polls are by no means accurate,but Quinnipiac is the most reliable predictor:

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama has the edge over Mitt Romney in three key battleground states in large part because voters find him more likable than the Republican challenger, a poll released on Wednesday found.

Romney's obsession with secrecy is why his opponent (the president) and others are able to define him first. Who is Romney? The three 'Ms' - Money, Mormonism, and Massachusetts:

Why should voters trust his plans for job creation if his tenure at Bain was about cutting jobs or shipping them overseas? Why should voters trust him to fix the tax code in a manner that would be fair to all and not simply the wealthy like him?

The tax-return issue is especially harmful because he looks shifty, like he has something to hide. His worry that his critics will use them to embarrass him, while understandable, is of no consequence to the American public. They are asked to produce multiple years of tax returns for plenty of things less important than the privilege of being president of the United States. Romney is asking the American people to trust him with their lives and livelihood. The least he could do is be transparent about his finances.

But that's part of Romney's problem, isn't it? Transparency. Letting people see who he really is. Romney simply won't allow himself or isn't even comfortable talking about the very things that make him who he is. He won't talk about his faith in any depth. He won't talk about his wealth with any self-assurance or comfort. He won't even dare talk about his tenure as governor of Massachusetts.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/post/mitt-romneys-credibility-gap/2012/08/01/gJQAEjAtPX_blog.html

No, all Romney and "his henchmen" can do is attack the president with desperate claims. Sure, plenty of the rightwing core will get out to vote against the president, but this doesn't usually win elections. Voters don't like dirty politics, and they need compelling reasons why they should vote for Romney.

F. R. Roselle,

You got me again!!! It's not funny that you Stiffed me for the bill again. Why is it every time we go out to eat, by the time the bill comes, you are gone? You want to hang with us and act like you are one of us, well then, buy your own food!! As for for you telling my friend that Obama has done so much for us.... Well he had to let 37 people go this year for lack of work. And yes, it is all due to your Failed Obama! Sorry, from now on if we go out to eat with you, it is going to be McDonalds, and it is B.Y.O.!!!! Why is it that all our liberal friend want us to pay for their way at everything we do??? Even the ones that are better off then us?? WHY??

"In polls not slanted heavily Democrat Romney leads. In polls slanted heavily Democrat Romney is close."

So all the polls are "slanted heavily Democrat"? Because all except one show Obama ahead, even Rasmussen.

"Dick Morris (who ran the Clinton's and also analyzes polls, and has been in politics for forty years) says Romney will win in a landslide."

And he also claims Clinton will vote for Romney. Riiiiiggggghhhht.

A party with John Boehner, eh, Portman? You might want to reconsider that "party"

Which party really cares about our Veterans and how are they showing their support?

The GOP is No Friend to Military Members Struggling During Recession

George Zornick on May 29, 2011 - 9:33 PM ET

House speaker John Boehner spent his Memorial Day weekend at a funeral for an Ohio solider killed in Afghanistan, solemnly attending the services and weeping at the end, during the playing of taps.

Boehner’s respect for the military sacrifice is admirable. Unfortunately, his apparent feelings are not borne out by his voting record. In recent years, Boehner’s Republican caucus in the House of Representatives has taken several votes this year that are substantive insults to veterans and active duty members of the military. The GOP has long enjoyed voters’ trust as the political party most likely to defend the armed services—but the facts tell a different story.

Most of the recent measures taken in Washington to help veterans aim to protect them from the economic crisis. Unemployment and foreclosure no doubt touch many Americans. But many veterans spent much of the past decade fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan, only to re-enter civilian life as the economy bottomed out. They faced an even steeper uphill battle than most, often struggling with injury, mental stress, or at the very least, many years out of the country and away from the job market.

Accordingly, lawmakers offered a wide range of bills to assist recent veterans—and Republicans opposed nearly all of them.

Foreclosure in particular has been a problem. Over the past two years, unscrupulous lenders have been improperly foreclosing on military members’ property, often while a solider was serving in Iraq or Afghanistan. Other times, soldiers would be foreclosed upon while recovering from a serious injury or post-traumatic stress disorder.

The foreclosure rate in military towns is four times higher than the national average, and the rate of foreclosure within ten miles of a military facility rose 217 percent between 2007 and 2009. Near the Marine Corps Base in Quantico, the foreclosure rate jumped 414 percent.

The House member who represents that district, Representative Gerry Connolly (D-VA), saw what should have been clear to all policymakers—while many Americans were in need of help from the federal government in fighting off foreclosure, military members were particularly stressed. He offered a measure that would offer emergency mortgage relief formembers of the armed services. Republicans killed the bill on a party-line vote.

In February, Republicans passed a budget bill that slashed $75 million that would have funded housing vouchers for homeless veterans. Republicans claim that the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which runs the program, has unused vouchers and so the cuts were fiscally responsible. There’s some truth to the unused vouchers claim; just over 2,400 went unassigned. That’s a bipartisan failure in a country where 136,000 go homeless at some point during every year, but Republican cuts are hardly a solution.

Even before they were in the majority, Republicans often voted against seemingly simple measures to help out members of the armed services over-stressed by nearly a decade of war.

In June 2009, a vast majority of Republicans voted against providing extra money to active duty members of the military subject to “stop-loss” orders—those who had their enlistments involuntarily extended. The bill called for such members to get an extra $500 for every month they were under a stop-loss order, but Republicans opposed it.

Republicans also initially opposed a new GI bill to provide a four-year college education to those who fought in Iraq or Afghanistan. They eventually relented, but still opposed extending the benefit to the children of soldiers who had been killed in those conflicts.

Although I despise Bonehead. I'd like to crash one of his parties. Lol

The Obama attacks are working to show Americans that they have a president framing his campaign not by his attributes, but by slandering other people. Negative campaigns do not bode favorably for those executing them. It's the ONLY thing Obama has... he feels he will win by destroying the character of his opponents.

When it all boils down to election day, it will be the economy, the way the government has been run, unemployment rates, price of gasoline and how much people are paying for goods and services... in all these things, Obama is a loser.

The Obama attacks are working to show Americans that they have a president framing his campaign not by his attributes, but by slandering other people.

You mean like the way Willard is doing with his daily lies. Also, Obama will win, and you can put that in the bank, because the America People don't like Willard.

Looking and Cryin' Johnny on CSPAN he sometimes seems to have partied pretty hearty the night before. Still boozed up. So for those who sop up the liquor it would seem logical the parties thrown by Cryin' Johnny would be the ones to go tol

I wonder if he is who Dubya got his Johnny Walker, Old Grandad, Wild Turkey, and Jim Beam from.

You mean like the way Willard is doing with his daily lies. Also, Obama will win, and you can put that in the bank, because the America People don't like Willard.

The only ones I hear saying they don't like Romney is the liberals... most of them on this board... that's what's so comical about you liberals... You actually think people listen to you. I'm here to make fun of you because you are fighting a losing battle. It's the economy and how Obama has mishandled it... that's what it will boil down to in the end... no matter how much you want Obama to finish destroying this country.

Negative campaigns do not bode favorably for those executing them

Really?

Why don't we ask "W" how well it worked out for him... twice!

Have I mentioned how much I'm enjoying watching you right wing nuts piss yourselves, when you get a taste of your own medicine? lol

BB

You and your hate are becoming a bore. Think Bill and Opus 2012!

Have I mentioned how much I'm enjoying watching you right wing nuts piss yourselves, when you get a taste of your own medicine? lol

I always knew you were into fetishes dum fux. It goes along with that liberal sickness you have... personally I don't like watching anyone piss. I'm glad you made that announcement though... shows just how demented your brain is.

Actually, the President has saved our Nation, and no way in hell are we the People going to let Willard take control and finish the job Bush almost completed, with clowns like Portman.

“Obama chance of winning 72% Romney 28%”

Phancy - Why is it that you perceive what I say as hate? Here we have many many liberals expressing a ridicule for anyone that is not in Obama's camp and they call them names, make fun of them, not in a good way, mind you, but yet it is I that is showing hate?

Because I express myself against Obama doesn't mean I am filled with hate. I don't like him and I will express it no matter what anyone says about it. If you find that hate filled, you are invited to not read what I post. It's certainly OK for dum fux to state she enjoys watching people pissing all over themselves in her strange fantasy way, but because I say that Obama is a loser because he hasn't handled the economy good and is a failure at it... that's perceived as hate... I'm starting to think your perspective is a little off. We need to look at our country realistically and get rid of those that would do us harm... or do you think we need more harm done to this land?

personally I don't like watching anyone piss

Hey, I'm not the one who belongs to the trickle down party...

PS: Aren't you embarrassed by continually having to vote for your own comments? I know I am for you!

Have you NO shame? lol

Place a wager? Obama is going down. I am also part of We the People Job1. I will do everything I can to promote a one term stint for Obama. We have had enough of his hope and change that is completely hopeless. I'm not interested in his version of fundamental change and I certainly don't want him to have 4 more years to complete his plan for our country.

I certainly don't want him to have 4 more years to complete his plan for our country.

Well you are going to have President Obama for 4 more years and that is the way it will be. Get over it.

Have you NO shame? lol

No you belong to the rip people off party. Or let me rephrase that... you belong to the party that pisses on people. Does it feel good to want to take from people that earned their money and give it to those that want to sit on their duffs and don't earn it? Wait... I'm sorry, I just described you to a tee.

I can't help it if you are jealous that the vote count for me still comes... even though you feel you are the princess of the party. Can't stand to share the spotlight, can you dum fux?

BB

I am right, and you know it. Bill the Cat and Opus the Penguin are truly the hope of the people. Stirring martinis with flamingo swizzle sticks.

Like I said, put your money where your mouth is Job1. I'll bet on the economy and unemployment against Obama all day long... those are things he squandered and you can't out do them on election day.

BB

I am growing poorer by the day due to medical bills. Wanna wager flamingo swizzle sticks? They are bright pink and very spiffy looking.

even though you feel you are the princess of the party. Can't stand to share the spotlight, can you dum fux?

Oh My!

Rage AND envy neatly wrapped up in a single comment! lol

Poor BB... what a miserable way to go through life, it's no wonder your unemployed!

PS: I'm not the princess... I'm the Queen... sunshine! ;o)

Phancy said: I am right, and you know it.

In this instance, you think you are right... and I am just being me. I hope you enjoy your drinks though.

Feisty shows him the clown nose. I love it.

Oh My!

Rage AND envy neatly wrapped up in a single comment! lol

Poor BB... what a miserable way to go through life, it's no wonder your unemployed!

PS: I'm not the princess... I'm the Queen... sunshine! ;o)

Rage? That's comic relief... because anything coming forth from your keyboard is nothing but a set up for a joke.

I didn't realize you were a gay man dum fux...

Not allowed to drink, right now. I would love to have one. I get drugs, though. Much rather a mojito, though. :(

Rage?

Brian... honey...

All one has to do is read your comment history. Rage oozes out of every pore in your body!

Like I said, it's no wonder you can't find a job!

HR frowns on those perceived to have serious anger management issues! ;o)

I didn't realize you were a gay man dum fux...

Ahhh! I see you had to toss in some of your legendary homophobia for good measure!

Feisty - oh don't you know, I'm the only one who posts nasty comments! Haven't you been reading all day???? LOL!

Brianb - I have to ask - who is going to "do us harm"? Seems to me it's people like you and some of your close minded, openly racist buddies who post here that we should be afraid of.

Ahhh! I see you had to toss in some of your legendary homophobia for good measure!

See this is how off base you are in your dementia... You said you were a queen... I was simply defining what you said... Could be you have heterophobia dum fux.

Diane said: Brianb - I have to ask - who is going to "do us harm"? Seems to me it's people like you and some of your close minded, openly racist buddies who post here that we should be afraid of.

Who brought race into this? It seems you did.... but why? Why do you have to bring race into it? I've not mentioned race one time... but it appears as though you just can't let go of a race card that is self generated...

Why is my mind closed? Because I don't agree with a liberal agenda? Do you believe in anything conservative? How come your mind is closed? See, this goes both ways... by your words, you tell me exactly where your mindset lies. If it's not liberal, you have to fight it...

Tell me Diane, do you disagree with all conservative thought, or just some of it? I'll bet you can't even answer that question...

As far as who is doing us harm... and who will do us harm... If you can't figure it out, your mind is not only closed, it's hammered shut.

Does it feel good to want to take from people that earned their money and give it to those that want to sit on their duffs and don't earn it?

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?

Again we never accused the right wing of being the smart ones. Most likely many of them need jobs.

Why do you people vote against your own interest?

All the comments on little BrianB just feed that toad OR troll I am "ignoring author"

His angry spiteful rants got tiring. The GOP/Teas are now made up of lying, cheating And hateful thugs.

It did not have to go this. Sad. We do need a two party system. Just not one like party of "NO"

@Job1 Why do you people vote against your own interest?

That my friend is the 64K question.

Feisty - oh don't you know, I'm the only one who posts nasty comments! Haven't you been reading all day????

Seeking,

Why is it that those who whine about it the loudest are the most guilty of it themselves?

Talk about irony.. lmao!

See this is how off base you are in your dementia... You said you were a queen...

Nice try BB but NO dice! This is what YOU said;

I didn't realize you were a gay man dum fux...

Don't you ever grow tired of making an ass out of yourself?

I know the rest of us are starting to pity you...

Does it feel good to want to take from people that earned their money and give it to those that want to sit on their duffs and don't earn it?

Says the dumb@!$%# who is currently collecting unemployment!

Job1 said: 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.

Job1, you aren't the brightest bulb in the box, are you? Where do you get that we think those that disagree with us don't have a job? That statement doesn't even make sense. In your thinking about your defensive posture, didn't career welfare recipients even enter your brain?

I wonder how that explains that in my city, Obama polls at 64%, favorable, and the unemployment rate is 6.1 percent?

Some cities fall below the 8.3% national average... I never said there weren't majority democrats in cities... in fact, most urban areas tend to lean democrat.

My granddaughters say I am a princess. The flamingo princess of Florida. Hi ya queenie Feisty!

Brian - day after day, time after time, person after person has listed for you President Obama's accomplishments. And if it weren't for the "our goal is to make him a one term president" the list would be even longer, but you probably don't even read it because it doesn't fit in with your extreme un-right wing belief system about our President.

The names some people on this board call President Obama is appalling. You tell me that "boy" is not racist. You tell me that "this experiment" isn't racist. "Welfare President" is racist in my opinion. And that's not all - it gets worse. "Moochelle"? That drives me nuts.

President Obama does not know you, but he is working for you. Keep an open mind.

I know, you just can't make this stuff up. "Let's face it".

JoAnne,

I have some spiffy flamingo swizzle sticks!

phine -

I'm totally jealous. I have some spiffy palm tree swizzle sticks, though. Let's party!

JoAnne,

I have a great Moroccan Sunrise for breakfast cocktail recipe!

Attack dog my arse.

Actually Rick, it tickles me to tears that Obama has resorted to attacking his opponents. Funny thing about those attacks though... none of them stick. Obama invents new attacks on a weekly basis and the left just follows him around like a puppy dog with nowhere to go. Not a single attack has taken root but the hits just keep on coming... Started off with Bain... so that's a dead horse.. then on to Romney picking on a childhood rival... the latest and greatest... Romney's tax returns is getting so old, it's boring. None of these dogs will hunt... and if Obama is saving the best for last... I'll bet it has something to do with where Mitt purchases his suits...

Where is Obama on his own stellar record of achievements? All I hear is crickets...

The GNOP can dish it out, but the sure can't take it!!

I didn't hear them whine or complain when they "swiftboated" John Kerry. Like a bunch of little babies their cowardice shows they can give it but can't take it. As Ol' Harry Truman said..." If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen".

Actually Rick, it tickles me to tears that Obama has resorted to attacking his opponents

Are YOU f@cking serious?

Go read your comment #2.2 & get back to us...

Liberals are so amusing. Just like little Ewoks all singing the same tune. What liberals don't understand because they aren't capable, is the conservatives know your tactics... we know what emits from your brains... we know you can't bring forth any positives about Obama... nothing that's worth a darn anyway... so the negative attacks are what we expect... we aren't complaining about those... we cherish them because they are nothing but acts of desperation in an attempt to prop up your failed policy president.

Ole Willard is getting creamed by the President, and the people behind Willard know it.

It's about time the left fight fire with fire. Sick em Uncle Joe! And Harry, don't let up on the 0 taxes claim!!

You know, in some cultures, having crickets are considered good luck.

What attacks? So far the president has run a lot of positive ads about his vision for America going FORWARD. And criticism of Romney has been about his hideous plans, such as the one the Tax Policy Center just exposed as robbing from the poor to give to the rich. How is that an attack, let alone a "desperate" attack?

Rightwingers can never back up their accusations with facts. Enough. You are desperate.

Lying and misrepresentation come naturally to Mitt and his cohorts. Portman can characterize the Obama push-back as desperate all he wants. Fact is, the jig is up and the GOP is proving to be nearly devoid of substance, ethics and integrity. All the smoke and mirrors in the world will not stop the questions that will keep dogging Romny about his tax returns, Bain, off-shore accounts, foreign bank scandals, and an IRA worth 20 to 100 million. He's a bought man and those who want him in power will demand payback. The prospect of having him in the Oval Office is absolutely frightening - because he will be in charge of very little - the puppeteers will run things. We can be virtually certain of that fact.

What is really funny is that one of them is willing to play second fiddle to Mitt the twit.

Mittens is so dumb he is going to lose this election because he can't, not won't release his tax returns.

Really, how does this go? Hello, my name is Mitt Romney and I am so slimy that I can't release my tax returns but be sure and vote for me for your President.

I know I am so slimy should be replaced with I am so sure of what the democrats are going to find in my taxes I am afraid to release my taxes because you won't vote for me if you find out, but be sure I will keep them hidden and vote for me for your President.

For the countries future and the re-election of President Obama you just keep telling Romney he is right not to release his taxes. So we can talk about them to election day and how crooked he must be to not end all of these accusations with doing what every other presidential nominee has done.

McCain was in the senate and making disclosures every year already. Although McCain only put out two years, the rest of the information was available and hence no secrets being hidden. Also McCain didn't have all the overseas accounts and 20 to 100 million in an IRA that no one else knows how Romney did it when the rest of us are limited to the amount we can put in.

President Obama put out 8 years of returns when he ran for president. Is Mittens man enough to match his opponents 8 years?

Romney makes dubious desperate welfare claim against Obama.

(What does Romney have to look forward to in the next three months; (1) the fallout when he finally discloses his tax returns, (2) finally disclosing details of his policies and having to defend them and (3) getting his butt kicked in the debates.)

Willard Romney, "DAMN GOOD AT LYING."

Now there's a bumper sticker for ya.

That wont stop the Bonehead from tying one on.

Busch NA and groping each other?

For now, I get perocete, morphine and xanex. I like itl

If Robme doesn't want to pay his fair share in taxes, he needs to renounce his citizen ship and get out of the country!

Aye, hate is something we should not succumb to. Can we despise him? Is that ok? I certainly do not hold a warm spot in my bleeding heart for him. I think he should be locked up behind bars.

Obama promised to cut the deficit in half.

The major problem with the debt we have now is the way it is exponentially rising. In other words, the bigger it gets the faster it increases. We truly are on the fiscal cliff. Its realy a shame Obama didn't keep that particular promise.

President Obama didn't understand at the time he made that promise that the republicans in congress were more concerned with regaining power than seeing to it that they repaired the economy they just broke.

The republicans have blocked and filibustered every ideal that President Obama has had for helping our economy and then they tell you that his plans didn't work.

The jobs acts couldn't be passed because the republicans voted against jobs and for protecting the millionaires and billionaires from assisting our country in putting Americans back to work. Then they blame President Obama for the lack of jobs.

Then the republicans really showed their colors when they just voted to protect the special tax cuts that pay for big corporations to move our jobs overseas.

I would have to be real dumb to think the republicans cared about jobs or America.

Excuses, excuses. Obama passed the monstrous healthcare act and he's also not shy about using the Executive Order. In fact, he just circumvented congress again with welfare reform. When asked why he went thru HHS instead of congress, he didn't answer.

First of all congress passed the health care act. Elected people voted on it, in congress and the president doesn't vote.

Why is it bad for America to join the other first world countries that already provide health care. Romney sure was praising Israel health care cost and effectiveness not realizing that is the same plan the republicans are demonizing here.

You know as well as I do that congress especially on the right is not interested in passing any plan that has anything to do with President Obama. Their main goal has been to hurt Obama, not work for the people like they were elected to do.

Mitt the twit is now known for his Romney-hood fame.

President Obama is fighting to raise his own taxes for a better America for us all.

Romney-hood is fighting to decrease his own taxes for himself. No wonder he is hiding his tax returns he already pays less that half the percentage that you and I pay.

Which one do you think cares more for America and her future?

"In fact, he just circumvented congress again with welfare reform."

And you're aware he just gave more flexibility to the states, something that 29 Republican governors (including Romney) requested in 2005. I thought you guys were all about the states having more power. Oh, I forgot, not if it comes from Obama. Right.

I don't know about both.

I never saw President Obama get a nickname like Mitt the Twit when he went to England.

I never saw President Obama take someones speech, mix the words up and change the context and then make up ads pretending to be outraged by what you made up he said. If you have got one I will more than gladly change my mind.

President Obama released 8 years of tax returns, Romney is afraid and can't because someone might pick on him. You guys picked a manly one this time.

President Obama is fighting to increase his own taxes for a better America for us all.

Romney is fighting to decrease his taxes for himself.

President Obama thinks that what a woman does with her body is between herself and her doctor.

Romney thinks that men in congress should control women's bodies and even contraception rights with signing the person-hood pledge.

One is obviously better than the other.

VOTE FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS...VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012

Romney is fighting to decrease his taxes for himself.

You can't just make this crap up and call it valid.

I believe in a woman's right to be educated and loved so she doesn't ever have to murder her child.

I believe if a woman can't afford to pay for her own birth control she needs to keep her knees together until she can get a job and fund her lifestyle.

What did I make up? An independent group has stated that for Romney to get his tax break you and I would be paying an extra 2000 a year to pay for it.

So who else is his tax cut for other than himself? He certainly doesn't think he should invest in America or he wouldn't have so much offshore money to aid those who want to invest and not pay American taxes, his words.

So I guess if a woman can't afford birth control, she should just be popping out babies she can't afford that the republicans don't want to give food or an education. Or do you envision large orphanages with hungry kids getting their education cleaning toilets?

With Palin having two young daughters with children conceived out of wedlock, you tell me, just how good that abstention thing works.

Palin is an idiot and she was a poor choice to represent anyone. I will not defend her.

With sexual activity comes responsibility. If you can't support the children you create, if you can't pay for birth control or sterilization you should consider abstinence.

If you are a married adult the same rules apply. It is not my responsibility to fund anyone else's sexual behaviors or pay for the abortion after you have messed around.

I provided my own children with birth control/condoms when they became sexually active and abstinence was no longer applicable. There were no abortions, no children outside of marriage, and I have 3 grandchildren from two of my married kids.

Don't get me wrong, this issue would never be a deal breaker or a deal maker for any candidate.

Economy, jobs, outsourcing, war, free healthcare for those who choose to sit on their expanding rear ends their entire life- those are the deal maker/breakers.

Obama-out 2012- I can't afford to pay for everyone's free crap.

The so called rev sharpton disgusts me so much that I will now refuse to watch the channel.

Isn't choice a wonderful thing?

I guess I need to go and watch today's show. I watch the Rev. often and have never seen him be racist in anyway. More often he will push patience, understanding and always non-violence.

While the Rev. is not the slickest anchor around, hence the jokes on SNL, but he has great guest and often looks at things from a different angle.

same humor when you find what your health care coverage wont cover when you have a life threating condition

Too bad Willard is losing in all the swing states, but hey I guess you need to feel good about something.....anything.

Libs have lost Missouri, Indianna, Florida (don't laugh, just wait), Pennsylvania (Obama will lose the lawsuit), Wisconsin still within reach and Virginia is in the bag... what about leading in the swing states??? Duh...

Nope, in Virginia, Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, Obama is still ahead. See here: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/elections/
