Let me guess VD 78, you have a government job.

All aboard, All you Obama sheeple riding the welfare train.

Damn, you hurt my feelings. Too late for me to continue talking to a moron. Got to go sleep on one of your mattresses.

Remember when you vote for Obama you will get what you asked for, continued record deficits and high unemployment. But, sounds like you like that lifestyle for many americans. Talk about selfish, you don't know what it means. See you later loser.

you non educated irs agents do not understand that no taxes were paid because of the loopholes passed by the republicans so they could put their money in swiss accounts.

jsmith12 and Soupy,

I'll be honest, you're starting to bore me. You are the lowest form of filth this planet has, hardly worth my time or effort. You are horrible human beings and even worse Americans. Making you look like ignorant fools is semi-entertaining, however, unnecessary, as you seem to do a good job of it on your own. When I tell you to shut the f*ck up, I offer this advice along with the suggestion; A wise man once said "It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove that assessment correct."

You see, I am smarter than you and a better person than you. As your intellectual superior, I suggest that the both of you give up before it gets much more embarrassing for you. Intellectually speaking, the both of you are bringing rubber knives to a nuclear missile fight. You have been marginalized and, you are dismissed. Good bye. Your ignorance and stupidity will never grace my computer screen again. Ignore.

This article reads like a Marshmallow Fluff label. Did I miss "paid advertisement" below the headline? "T-Paw helped move a folding table"... WOW! Journalism at its finest.

i cannot belive you are christain if you are republican, take form the poor and give to the rich

the king james version

says every few years the rich should give all back too the poor.

come on rupublican christains argue my statements

amazes me the so godly republicans lie and distort all facts to win eleection so they can cheat poor people

While being no fan of either party (both sides would like to have us all "barefoot and pregnant" [for different reasons]- the democrats so that we would be beholding to them for their social programs; and the republicans so that they would have a ready low rent labor force beholding for our livlihood to their ever growing number of billionaire corporate contributors); still, I am particularly galled by the bold-faced lies of the Republicans that they just want to get America "up-and-going-again", when it should be obvious to anyone taking even a casual glance at the politicking of the last 3 1/2 years that in fact they have been nothing but totally obstructionist (at every turn)! As regards their nonsense that Obama's policies are hindering the economy: those policies are only scantily different from Clinton's, during whose terms we had prosperity (again - after it had tanked under Bush I), only to have it all squandered (again) under Bush II and cronies (during whose administration even Nancy Pelosi was calling it "a culture-of-corruption)." How bad do things have to be before someone who represents San Francisco can call somehere else "a culture of corruption"- and be correct(!)?? While I believe Obama's moral agenda is antichrist in nature (and I would not vote for him on that basis alone), I still have to acknowledge that given the $Trillion bag of turds that Bush II (and cronies) left him to deal with, and given an obstuctionist Republican Congress that doesn't give the proberbial rat's behind how much harm the rest of us suffer as long as they can return to power (to do it all over again) for corporate America, I think that (if I would be honest) I would have to say the president has done remarkably well. I wouldn't vote for Romney either. Why would any middle class American ever vote for someone whom we already know has already skimmed !300,000,000.00 off the top for himself -by sending middle class Americans' job to China, etc.??? THINK, PEOPLE!!!

In 2008, a poll by Washington Post/ABC News found that white people without a college degree favor John McCain, the Republican candidate, by 17 percentage points, while those with a college degree prefered Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate, by 9 percentage points.

Now, everyone stop the name calling. If you think what someone says is stupid, ignorant, simple-minded or even just wrong, then go research the actual facts from a well-respected and independent source. (Hint...this does NOT include what you heard Rush Limbaugh say. Ever. It does not mean what you saw posted by your brother-in-law on Facebook, either. It's called research, and if you have the time to call someone an idiot, you have the time to look up why they are an idiot.) Then post the facts you found in your rebuttal without resorting to childish requests for IQ scores.

That being said...it is my opinion that most people, but not all, that lean hard to the right fall into one of the following categories.

1) Uber-religious Christians who want to legislate the Bible, except for that pesky part about helping the poor and sick.

2) Greedy snobs who want to shield themselves in gated mansions and truly believe they are what keeps the fabric of society from crumbling.

3) NRA types who think our freedoms are trampled if we all can't have guns designed for the military.

4) Racist bigots who fear and blame anyone that doesn't look like them.

5) Anyone raised by or married to someone from the above four categories who has never learned or dared to think for themselves.

These are usually the people with the loudest and most obnoxious opinions, and therefore most likely to post here. They are also the least likely group to independently research facts before they form their opinion, because they listen to the talking heads for the catch phrase of the moment and just go with it.

I will cite a recent example. The Romney campaign is putting out that Obama wants to fight extending early voting to military members in Ohio. The fact is, he wants to extend it for everyone, including military. Republicans have tried to shorten it for everyone but military. This is easily checked by two minutes spent on Google. Anyone actually interested in facts would look it up, but hardcore right wingers will take it on fact that "Obama hates our troops". This kind of intellectual laziness is why they have such extreme views, they only see the hype.

So now that I have pissed off everyone on the right, be honest with yourselves for a minute. It's ok, you don't have to let us know you did it, but ask yourself. Which of the five categories above are you?

And we have another dumb a$$ of the year appearance.

And many of those places aren't glitzy, politically or economically. In past years, Jackson has suffered a poverty rate twice that of Michigan as a whole. The Kalamazoo area clocked in for an Obama win of 20 points in 2008.

And that isn't changing anytime soon.

Excellent choice! Even more unexciting than Mittens is!

Its RUBIO for VP,,,,,,,,,,,,,, or Obama gets the WIN

Difficult not to be amused with the liberal comments above. They must fear Palenty, who one of the candidates for VP who does a good job of articulating the total failure of Obama and his administration of career school teachers and lawyers who can only get government work.

This country is hungry for a president and administration that appreciates its Judeo Christian heritage and values. A president who has the experiences and relationships to draw on for solutions to the economic issues with which we are confronted. One who takes pride in US sovereignty. One who sincerely feels compassion for all of the citizens of the US and for all of its visitors. One who has a strong respect for the constitution and laws of the land. One who does not have a history of using his position in government to achieve personal enrichment. (That rules out just about every democrat in congress, not to mention a number of republicans).

I do not believe that even the most liberal black person, homosexual or lesbian, career educator, government employee or union worker would even suggest that Obama has any of the above qualities. Now, of course, those guys who received Obama directed payoffs from the government in return for campaign contributions and other favors, would say anything; their lack of credibility has already been established.

Speaking of articulation, wouldn't it be nice if Condi Rice would consent to the appointment of Vice-President of the United States. The integrity and experience she brings would be a breath of fresh air. Besides, she is a lot smarter than the rest of us.

The question is, how much longer will Romney remain "mum" about his taxes ? If he has nothing to hide, why is he hiding them ? His own father, who he talks about so much, said that at least 12 years of taxes should be available to the public.

Pawlenty may have his own tax issues to diuscuss. Tell us about the money you got from the telecoms !

We have a policy, the campaign just doesn't talk about the vice presidential vetting process."

They also don't talk about Romnuts taxes, Bain Capital employment and anything else that is controversial- but they do talk a lot about "getting us on the right track" using the same policies as the previous administration- thanks but no thanks

Seriously they are trying to get some interest and mystique going. It is not! Boring! Who cares? Who will step up and end their career? Romney cannot win this election. He is an accountant and may not even be a good one at that, not a leader. And the republicans are responders not proactive people. Obama needs to do a little dance and see Romney dance. I am not kidding! That does not a president make. Obama 2012!!

Pawlenty = Tool.

the problem is people know who obozo is now...before he could hide that, now its out in the open except for his past records of course

Our Fiscal House is burning down and the politicians are looking at new curtains. You can tell some have really bought in to the thinking that spending more will solve the problem. That's what our public education has done. Jack Kennedy, Ronald Regan and Bill Clinton used the same economic plan !! It worked for them.

We need to punish suscess, We need to punish the rich, How does Rich people keep people down ?? If we Taxed a bunch of Rich people would that Change your lot in Life ?? Why do Politicians attack a group of people to get votes. Why do people fall for class envy. you talk about Jobs, not paying Taxs, cheap wages, look at GE Obama's Golf Buddy.
