In the remarks he'll make accepting the Republican presidential nomination, Mitt Romney will offer a harsh indictment of Barack Obama's presidency, as well as promise to create 12 million jobs in his first four years as president, according to excerpts released by his campaign.
"Today the time has come for us to put the disappointments of the last four years behind us, to put aside the divisiveness and the recriminations, to forget about what might have been and to look ahead to what can be," Romney is expected to say.
"Now is the time to restore the promise of America," he will add. "Many Americans have given up on this president but they haven’t ever thought about giving up. Not on themselves. Not on each other. And not on America."
More Romney: "I am running for president to help create a better future -- a future where everyone who wants a job can find one. Where no senior fears for the security of their retirement. An America where every parent knows that their child will get an education that leads them to a good job and a bright horizon. And unlike the president, I have a plan to create 12 million new jobs."
Romney also talks about his faith.
"Like a lot of families in a new place with no family, we found kinship with a wide circle of friends through our church. When we were new to the community it was welcoming and as the years went by, it was a joy to help others who had just moved to town or just joined our church. We had remarkably vibrant and diverse congregations of all walks of life and many who were new to America. We prayed together, our kids played together and we always stood ready to help each other out in different ways."
And he makes a big pitch to women.
"My mom and dad were true partners, a life lesson that shaped me by everyday example. When my mom ran for the Senate, my dad was there for her every step of the way. I can still hear her saying in her beautiful voice, “Why should women have any less say than men, about the great decisions facing our nation?”
"I wish she could have been here at the convention and heard leaders like Governor Mary Fallin, Gov. Nikki Haley, Gov. Susana Martinez, Sen. Kelly Ayotte and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice."
"As governor of Massachusetts, I chose a woman Lt. governor, a woman chief of staff, half of my cabinet and senior officials were women, and in business, I mentored and supported great women leaders who went on to run great companies."

Oh Brother!
Here we go...
After Ryan's "pants on fire" speech last night, I had to take my BS meter in today and have it re-calibrated!
It will be interesting to see if Willard is as truthfully challenged tonight as his running mate!
Given Willard's track record, you better be packing to move overseas!
Hmmm I sure hope he mentions Bain ... Rolling Stone had an excellent article today on Robme & Bain ... apparently it was all tea and roses for Mitt ...
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-federal-bailout-that-saved-mitt-romney-20120829
I am afraid his idea of RESTORE is simply returning to the W method of Governance; which can be directly attributed to the mess in the first place.
I believe he has 7 of W's 12 advisors on staff at this point. Just a matter of time before he hires the rest.
PS. If you look really close in the audience tonight, I think you can see Dick Cheney with his hand up Ryan's arse. A puppeteer, if you will. Or is that Grover Norquist? I can't quite make him out. Anyone else see that?
Clara,
Speaking of the audience, did you catch this? lol
Layton,
That article is a MUST read!
...that many advisors...and "The 43rd President of the United States" himself is nowhere to be seen at this convention. They won't even talk about him.
"....where everyone who wants a job has one." Sure--you betcha--in the military fighting your interminable, unnecessary wars with no thought or concern about what havoc it wreaks on them and their families and no follow-up care afterwards. Sounds more like a plan to decrease the surplus population of the 99%!
"We have met the enemy and he is us!" Pogo by Walt Kelly
whoops--bubblegum--didn't save the changes: ...with no though or concern about what havoc it wreaks on us and our families...
Thanks, Feisty ... I thought so as well and again, my post should have said *wasn't all tea and roses! Today is incredibly busy and I stink at multi-tasking ...
Not sure if I'll be watching Mittens tonight ... 1st game for the Runnin' Utes and I love my college football!
4 more for 44!!!!
12 million new jobs...
...the Koch brothers will be needing some cheap labor.
Both Bushes made an appearance last night.
Layton, good post on the Rolling Stone article. Let's add that shafting of the FDIC by Gov. Romney and Bain to the $1.3 billion dollar federal bailout of the Salt Lake Olympics he supposedly saved single handedly.
Right. Let's start by re-electing President Obama and get rid of the obstructionist Congress who have stalled and filibustered trying to destroy this country so they can blame it on him. Nice try, didn't work. Ryan blew it last night with his speech filled with wrong facts and downright lies. Let's see how many times Mitt steps in his own sh!t tonight.
Neither is Sistuh Sarah. I so wishing to hear one of her "firebrand" speeches to rally the troops on to destroy the "Evil Obama" Too bad. Would've made great conversation.
I'll drink to that, does iced tea count?
Looks like Bible Spice's days are numbered over at NewsforDumbFux!
Where will she whore herself out next?
Are you talking about "long islands"? ;o)
This time Romney lies last Ryan
FOX NEWS!!!!!!!!
Deceiving
On the other hand, to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention to facts, Ryan’s speech was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech. On this measure, while it was Romney who ran the Olympics, Ryan earned the gold.

dal,
You know when FoxNoise has to call out the bull@!$%# from Ryan, it was deep!
Feisty - She is going to keep an eye on Russia for us from a little cabin on the beach in Alaska and catch up on her reading - you betcha - wink, wink.
You bet Fox News is starting to see Ryan and Romney as liars...GOD HAS SPOKEN...well Mormons do not really believe in God
anyone who thinks Bain is bad is totally naive and uninformed......GO MITT!
Feisty - not only is the crowd very white but mostly over 60! Yeah, that's the way to attract the YOUNG voters! And, lots of unfilled seats - even on the lower levels!
Obama/Biden 2012
Do not be fooled by these claims of 12 million jobs.
This was the same ruse employed by Rick Scott in Florida who promised 700,000 jobs.
And guess what? Florida is now -125,000 jobs !!!
So Rick Scott now needs to create 825,000 jobs.
------------
Romney will do the exact same thing. Within a year there will be net job loss just like there was in Florida.
We need to stay the course with President Obama. 4+ million jobs and still growing.
FORWARD
Obama | Biden 2012

I am now just getting up to date on all that I have missed, and I see nothing has changed within the Republican Party. The biggest story I see is all the lies Paul Ryan told in his speech. The next story I read is how the usual suspects on MSNBC are pushing the GOP talking points about the Republicans being the party of diversity, even though their support from women, latinos and blacks is practically nil.
You want to talk about restoring America? Here's a story about restoring America. A story I will never forget.
I was sitting at the bar at JFK Airport waiting for my flight. The bartender was a latino woman who appeared to be in her 30's. She was someone who quite obviously was not into politics until 2008. I got to talking to her and asking her about some of the interesting people who must sit at her bar, killing time having a few drinks, waiting for their flights. She told me she meets very important and well known people on a daily basis.
She told me this one story that will stay with me always.
She said most people are quite nice (she particularly remembers Nancy Pelosi standing out as being very kind). She also said people will have a few drinks and then tell her she should go back to wherever she came from.
This was this one man several years ago who sat at her bar who she never forgot. She said he was so polite, so respectful and very interested in her life - where did she live, did she have children, who were her parents, where did she go to school, did she enjoy working at the airport, etc. She said he talked to her for about 1/2 hour and then he was gone. He made quite an impression on her because of his manner and genuine interest in her life. She never asked his name or anything. She never saw him again.
And then a few months later she's watching tv and sees this same man on television. Who was this man? Barack Obama.
She couldn't believe it. This man she had talked to months and months before was now running for the United States presidency. And since that day she said she has devoted herself to paying attention to all that is happening in America and most importantly, she said she planned on doing all she could to see him re-elected.
That is what our president's effect had on this woman who had no idea 4 years ago who this man was.
This is the story of restoring America. A man sitting at a bar, interested in a simple bartender's life.
That's the kind of man we want as our president. That's the kind of man we should always have as our president. And that's the kind of man we have as our current president. Barack Obama.
Obama. I wish that woman well. She will never forget that man. And I will never forget her.
_____________
btw way, Russia? Obama. Obama. Obama. That's all anyone wanted to talk about. Obama.
The Russian people told me every country in the world needs a Barack Obama and wished America well on election day in re-electing him.
That's restoring America.
That's what i'm thinkin'! Can't wait until November when we can really celebrate!
Pat, you're going to open up the troll flood gates with that one. The first thing will be, "Obama at a bar? I'm not surprised. He runs the country like he's drunk!" If you would have used Ted Kennedy, we would have no problem, lol! Anyway, glad too see your back.
Adler said: I'll drink to that, does iced tea count?
Ice tea? Don't let anyone fool you... it's kool-aid!
*waves to my GF Pat, in Boston!
I am SO glad go see you back and even happier your trip was everything you expected!
Already have champaign on ice, Tony!
Watching the RWNJ's head explode will be better than any cork I can find! ☺
Pat - Boston MA said... well tried to say... I am now just getting up to date on all that I have missed, and I see nothing has changed within the
RepublicanDemocrat Party. The biggest story I see is all the liesPaul RyanObama told in hisspeechpast 3 1/2 years. The next story I read is how the usual suspects on MSNBC are pushing theGOPDemocrat talking points about the Republicans being the party ofdiversitylies, even though their support from women, latinos and blacks ispractically niltotally negated by liberals who are hell bent on seeing Obama win the election.That was fun... I love making corrections!
Listen YOU gubment sucking parasite... go take care of YOUR kids without gubment assistance YOU leech!
Be a MAN for a change instead of an anonymous impotent keyboard warrior!
Hello to Feisty and the regular posters on FR....
Sorry, I have not been able to watch coverage of the RNC outside of what I've seen on John Stewart. Every time I hear them lie or distort the facts, my blood pressure goes off the scale. Paul Ryan should be arrested and placed on trial for sedition! Ryan and his 14 co-conspirators are traitors to our nation and should be summarily banned from EVER holding public office again.
As far as I am convcerned, Mitt Romney can kiss my hairy arse.
I love all the socialist douchbags calling out Ryan for Lying!!! Gee, Libby But Lickers, each time your Prince of Marxism, Odumbo, opens his friggin' yap the lies flow like a river.
You'd think this gathering of fools would be more concerned about wiping the diarrhea from Oblahblah's lips, but it's ok when commies lie... They're allowed to lie because it's in their freakin' genes... And Oblahblah has great plans for this nation... oh, yes indeed... Great plans... to send us rocketing toward third world status.
I hate to break this to the GOP, but the ratings for the convention are way down from last election.
The highest ratings for a network? Faux News.
That means their preaching to their own misguided people.
GOP can't even do ratings right.
The party of DULL
Where are your tax returns Romney? What are you hiding? Did you take the 2009 tax evasion amnesty?
It IS the republicans who have stalled any recovery we hope for! Rush Limpbrain said the goal of all republican members of congress is to work very hard to make sure Obama fails! This is why we can no longer have republicans control anything more than a bowel movement. A true American would do whatever they could to help America prosper, regardless of party affiliation! Mitt the Twitt, whom i still have not heard him explain about his alleged Swiss bank accounts or why he won't release his tax returns. Whats the matter Mitt, don't believe in america! Republicans stand for the rich getting richer on the backs of of the working class. Remember on election day, Mitt is the King of outsourcing your jobs! Vote out the republican majority of anything! Best President ever, Bill Clinton, DEMOCRAT!
If you want a Liar and most likely a possible Felon, for "RETIRING RETROACTIVELY" from BAIN CAPITAL to AVOID those FELONY CHARGES, than Mitt Romney is you man!
If you want a RAIDER and THIEF of hard-working Factory workers's PESION FUNDS, then Mitt Romney is your man!
If you want somebody who transferred all his ILL-GOTTEN LOOT from his hidden SWISS BANK accounts to his Wife, on the Eve of declaring his candidacy, that Mitt Romney is your Man.
If you want that somebody ho LAUNDRIED thos workman's PENSION FUNDS thru his phomy CAYMAN ISLAND shell companies, than Mitt Romney is your man.
Not a very Manly man mind you, as a matter of fact a very UNMANLY man. Ouch!
ItsSimple - Your message smacks of desperation. Fox's ratings are about the same as all the other news networks combined. I guess in your liberal world, success is a bad thing.
You are most certainly right Tony D. The republican convention is the gathering of fools!
it's kinda weird seeing the lib.dems act this way.
...but they knew things in america were not great..they just hid it better.
BB,
What a BIG man you are... lmfao@U!
Instead of hypothetically pontificating, WHY don't YOU get a job and support your family YOU slug?
Stop being a DEAD BEAT daddy and take care of your own rather than bitching here!
Brianb-999431 allow me to simplify it for you. When ABC, NBC's ratings are down from the last election for the Republican Convention "means" that less people are interested in what the Republicans have to say - most notably swing voters who are more likely to watch ABC or NBC as apposed to the Right Wing Network of Faux News.
Ratings mean quite a bit when your are trying to "re-introduce" (AKA etcha-a-candidate) for the forth time and lie your way to the white house.
Feisty
Listen YOU gubment sucking parasite... go take care of YOUR kids without gubment assistance YOU leech!
Be a MAN for a change instead of an anonymous impotent keyboard warrior!
How long did you have to think to come up with such an intelligent, thought provoking post? Oh I forgot, you're a Democrat - this is probably the best you can do.
Our economy sucks and the debt is too high. The country is in a shambles and here's the reasons why.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/wp/2012/08/28/republican-national-convention-the-one-graph-you-need-to-see-before-watching/
Obama 2012/ Romney 1040
Clinton talked about a bridge to the future. Romney wants a bridge to the past.
...and obama has taken us on a bridge to nowhere
Fiesty- good thing you are getting the BS meter re calibrated. Wouldn't want the needle breaking off at next weeks DNC Convention.
Promise to America? The lying is so thick with Romney/Ryan, how could anyone with an IQ over 90 vote for these guys.
No one who wants power as much as these two should be allowed to wield it.
That's great...but I guess my question is, "Will the divisiveness and recriminations be put away by the GOP, Mr. Romney, if the President is re-elected?"
Is he going to tell us what that plan is or is it just give more tax breaks and subsidies and corporate welfare and then just keep praying for the "Trickle-Down Miracle"?
"Why should women have any less say than men, about the great decisions facing our nation?"
Because you have a vagina and a uterus and you get pregnant, and that is a man's domain to write the rules.
I truly hope to live long enough to see a woman who is an atheist get the job.
If Romney thought it would win him the election - He'd renounce his G-d and schedule the sex change IMMEDIATELY.
just sayin'.
Are the jobs here in the United States or in China?
It's probably his super-secret-I-haven't-figured-it-out-yet-even-though-I've-been-running-for-president-forever-job-plan. He could tell us, but then he'd have to kill us and send all the work we do to China while his 1% buddies rake in the profits of cheap labor.
What a maroon, as Bugs would say.
As critical as you are of politicians, I don't see how liberals don't use their critical skills to evaluate Obama in the same light as they do Romney. If they would simply open their eyes, they would be seeing things about Obama that they choose to ignore.
Who knows, maybe all the liberals on First Read have excellent jobs, perfect lives, live the high life and have acquired the ability to simply eradicate all the negatives of the past 4 years. Even if they do, I wouldn't want to be a liberal.
Brianb - got the names of any more of those dead actors who'll be voting for Mitt???
Obama/Biden 2012
Typical GNOP plan....cut taxes for the wealthy....raise leg....trickle down....
Mitt Romney - man of a 1000 positions and his girlie man pants!
C'mon Mythe - show us the 1040's! What ARE YOU hiding@?
Hey Paul... since you want to spout off... tell me Obama's plan to get unemployment down... reduce the deficit, crank down the national debt... Tell me one new idea he has to offer us for the next 4 years... so far all we hear is crickets... but you have the nuts to complain about tax forms? Call Romney names... and offer nothing about what your candidate will do.
So Mittens....whats the plan????Brian,if you have read the news unemployment is going down.Anyway I have a good job and I am an average everyday manufacturing worker...so what's up with all of you??
That's right Dave, you got yours. Unemployment is NOT going down... where do you get your information from? Last week was pretty bad.. the unemployment rate is officially at 8.3% so tell me how it's going down. You must enjoy the kool aid the liberals hand to you. Don't forget to fill up your thermos.
Clara KCMO
And you know this for a fact because. . . I mean you must have proof - making a statement like that because liberals never, ever make things up - they can prove everything they say. I'm waiting . . .
Tsk. What you see in operation is children reacting to adult supervision. They don't want to be responsible, they don't have to be responsible, Obama will take care of them. All their worries will be over, they won't have to think, work, sacrifice or do much of anything, Obama will provide.
On a related note, I am tired of the political games coming from both parties, tired of the rhetoric and BS and that is both sides of the aisle. I do believe that Romney cares for this country, unlike Obama who should have been secretary general for the UN, his focus is on the WORLD, in the same way that a negligent father will buy rounds at the bar while the family at home has no food or rent money.
Can we all say "Manifest Destiny"? The call of the plutocrats and robber barons!
"We have met the enemy and he is us! Pogo by Walt Kelly
That's all you need to know about the Romney/Ryan Campaign!
And all those well informed people watching Honey Boo Boo are going to be voting. Scary huh?
Very true! Obama is incompetent at anything unrelated to getting reelected. He has been bad for the country, divisive, and a total failure as a leader. His blunders would fill pages, but among them are the Gulf oil spill, Fast and Furious, Solyndra, “Stimulus,” downgrading of our credit, and bowing to the Russians.
By contrast, Romney has demonstrated that he can take an organization that has been mismanaged to the point of bankruptcy and make it prosperous once again. His success rate has been nothing short of miraculous, and Romney is who we need to turn this country around, and not just make finger-pointing speeches.
Wow - you got every phoney aspersion in one post. And a false "job creator" claim in for the bonus. Bet you're winning the RWNJ BS Bingo game right about now.
I always love when conservatives tell us the President has been "the most divisive figure in politics ever"...well, actually, there may be some truth to that one...
"Nazi!"
"Communist!"
"Socialist!"
"Un-American!"
"Secret Muslim!"
"He Wasn't Born Here!"
"Obammy!"
"Obummer!"
...I mean, my God, just look at all the HORRIBLE things that the President has made his political opponents say about him!
He "made it prosperous" by screwing over the American taxpayer (via the FDIC) while enriching and rewarding executives already making $200K with bonuses. Read the article posted by Layton at #1.1 where the information was gotten via FOIA.
RTFS - what phoney aspersions? Romney has has multiple successes in rebuilding businesses. Prove to me that all his business dealings ended up in everyone always losing their jobs? Do you know what venture capital is all about? I would say you haven't a clue... your ideology is driving your inaccuracies. You are listening to every liberal you can that has determined they don't want Obama to lose, therefore creating all these false impressions.
I know, you don't see it... you won't allow yourself to. Obama has become your god and if he loses you won't know what to do with yourself.
BB,
Rather than researching dead conservative actors, you might want to read the Rolling Stone article and actually learn something about what Willard was up to at Bain!
Stop making a uneducated ass out of yourself for a change!
Rolling stone a really credible source. I think Leno writers would like in on that one.
BB, Romney never built a business that has not FAILED. Even his aborted fetus disposal company was closed down by the health department. Ryan still made a lot of dead baby money
Oh yeah, Tim Dickinson is an Obama Worshiper. Did you expect him to say anything that is actually real?
Dal
Stage stores currently larger than the conglomerate he put together from several week stores for that market.
your comment - FAIL as usual.
Dal - does that Kool-aide taste good? How many gallons of it have you consumed... judging by the misinformation you are putting out there... I'd say plenty. You need to get off the stuff... it's bad for your mental health. Let me say it again... Bain did more good for businesses than tear downs. Only if a business couldn't make it, were the assets sold off, but before they were, the owners were paid a percentage of what was left over after all debts were paid.
Stop listening to these liberals that THINK they know how this sort of business is run.
DB Akron - the photos of FOIA'd documents from the FDIC documents (even after being redacted by Bain) appear to be credible. You can access examples of the 5K pages of them from the link in the article.
Got anything to refute the story or are you banking on discrediting the story using just a mocking statement unsubstantiated by facts?
Brianb - one more time "The United States of America" is not, i repeat, not a friggin' corporation. You simply can't fire it's people to balance the budget. Get it straight.
Typical, anti-education hater...
If you pulled your head out of NewsForDumbFux for a minute, you might actually learn something!
Don't hate the source, hate the bull@!$%# your party is spreading!
Tonyberm - who gives a flying fu(k what you think? The chief executive needs experience that is related to the business of this country... a whole lot of it is business related... operationally related and logistically related. Obama has zero experience, even after 4 years of sitting in that seat. His path has proven it. He has driven up the national debt by $5.3 Trillion, kept unemployment above 8% and divided this nation. He promised to do great things but has done the opposite...
The question I have for you, don't you respect this country more than that? Don't you feel one bit of shame for the economic devastation we are undergoing right now? Where the president hasn't done anything to correct the course. So far all I see from you is this incoherent support for a failure. Maybe you like failures... maybe you like the president to do his level best to kill this country... after all he did write "Dreams of my Father." His father was a communist... Maybe you subscribe to that ideology too.
I wish that were true but when you see how Bain made those companies proseperous and were on teh recieving end of what Mittens did you would think otherwise.I lived in Mass when he was governor and let me tell you one thing about Mittens...HE WAS NEVER IN MASS.He left his lieutenant governor in charge,she became governor after he left and got voted out for mismanaging her position(she liked to use state helicopters to get back and forth to work every day...on our dime,nice huh?)So yea,he used Mass for all it was worth back then..sold off a lot of our interests overseas(thats why he was never in Mass and really is the reason he's hiding his tax info..look up his state taxes if ya wanna see stuff)
RTFS
And a false "job creator" claim in for the bonus
Hey RTFS - ever here of Staples? How about Sports Authority? How about Steel Dynamics (SDI)? I know you've heard of Bain. All successful companies that would count as "job creator" Check it out - you know, research it.
Another speech chock full of platitutes and pandering. What a shocker!
Show us a plan with some substance that hasn't been debunked as garbage Mitt, or shut up.
The plan is on the Etch-a- Sketch....
C'mon Mythe show us the 1040's! What ARE YOU hiding@?
Fox News had this to say about Paul Ryan's convention speech on August 29th, 2012
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/08/30/paul-ryans-speech-in-three-words/#ixzz254a2euWo
Whenever we catch a GOP/Republican/Conservative/TeaBagger in a LIE we can post:
(This should become even more popular than "Bend it like Beckham", given how man more GOP/Republican/Conservative/TeaBagger LIARS there are versus soccer players world-wide. Can't throw a dead cat without hittin' a Lyin Ryan!)
RTFS
Next week at Charlotte after Barack Obama speaks:
Another speech chock full of platitutes and pandering. What a shocker!
Show us a plan with some substance that hasn't been debunked as garbage Barack, or shut up.
I'll listen to him. It will be hard, but I'll listen. I hope to hear some authentic and specific ideas, but I'm not counting on it, since it hasn't happened yet. To hear him say "I have a plan" again is simply not good enough at this stage of the campaign.
Well...four years ago we had to hear about "hope and change", and yet here we are with no hope and very little change in your pocket...
skip1
That's exactly how I feel about Obama - especially the "since it hasn't happened yet" to just about everything he promised in 2008 - examples: transparency, none of the "business as usual" in Washington, clear out Guantanamo Bay, unemployment below 8% . . .
Where? In China or India you outsourcing pioneer you!
Where is ROmney's tax returns...ohhhh..that is right when we asked he told AMERICA TO SHUT THE HELL UP
dal---Romney thinks it is small minded of you to want to see his tax return. He already told you what was in it--that should be enough.
Hey...look up his Mass state tax returns....from what I hear they're quite interesting
Hey Al, ask GE?
Well I'm so glad that the economy, unemployment - you know all that "little" stuff is not on your mind like his tax returns are. Nice to know where the liberals priorities are. Sad commentary on the liberals who are obsessing on this instead of the economy. I bet the unemployed or those about to lose their homes really don't give a crap about his tax returns.
debby,
Yes we do care about the economy. But recall the elections of 2010. The tea baggers screamed jobs jobs jobs. They got the majority of the House. What did they do. 45 bills against abortion, 33 votes on repeal of Obamacare, countless bills on repeal of EPA regulations (who cares if the Cuyahoga catches on fire again). This is what we will get if the "all about the economy" republicians get control of the House and the Senate. Remember Scott Walker of WI. All he wanted to do is to do away with the public sector unions. So don't lay that crap on me about Romney's tax returns are not important. What kind of a person is he??
Promise, what promise? You mean like the contract on America where you vow to make America a 3rd world country. Or could it be the return to feudalism where the few have everything and the serfs serve the lord and master? No, I know which it is to bring Fascism to America. If it's any one of these you're well on your way.
Both sides tell lies, especially in campaigns, but Ryan and Romney seem to tell more of them than anyone in history. Comparable, perhaps, to Josef Göering and his big lie told enough times thingie.
They say they have a plan but not one iota of a hint what that plan might be other than more tax breaks for the wealthy and gut every safety net program, oh and probing women's private parts.
Mitt Romney is a sociopath that will say and do anything to get what he wants. A vulture capitalist was the perfect job for him but there is no place for a sociopath in the White House.
No offence to the good people of Wisconsin but one can wonder what's in the water up ther as it seems every few decades or so they produce some nutburger. Not long ago they produced Joe McCarthy and now Paul Ryan, not to mention their loco Govnah. Oh well, these two will be shamed and seen for their folly just like Tail Gunner Joe was back in the 1950s.
OK Adler-273784 since you liberals never make things up or say things that aren't true - show me the medical records with the diagnosis of sociopath. And as for saying and doing anything to get what he wants - a perfect example of that is Obama wanting to keep his job in the White House - never seen anything quite like it. So, unless your candidate is perfect, you really shouldn't be calling names on the other candidate. It's petty and makes you look ridiculous. And as for something being in the Wisconsin drinking water - where are you from because I'd be checking your drinking water.
Can Romney or Ryan tell the truth?

Great citation if you're a brain dead drone, like you. Sally Kohn. What a f'ing joke she is. Fox allows her to spew her bullsh!t because they allow both sides to be fair and balanced.Sometimes I think they go to far. She's a psycho lib who shouldn't have a platform. I think that's why they give her one, to demonstrate how idiotically crazy the left is.
Isn't it hilarious how the loons will cite FOX when it suits them. The one they claim lies. Did you check with the dum fuk before posting?
I overheard Limbaugh banned using NBC Clips in his shows today. Apparently they are so deceptively edited they are WORTHLESS!
He never uses MSNBC clips because he recognizes they know nothing but the length of Obama's zipper.

You gotta be kidding (yes I know, you aren't).
Sorry, but that is what losers do, not legitimately successful people.
Yes,he is a sociopath,he exhibits all of the symptoms
Again, since you liberals never misrepresent the truth - show me the medical records. By the way Dave, where did you receive your medical degree from?

Hey I remember that from 2008 it went like this:

FOX News has called Ryan a LIAR. OMG.
Sally (crazy bitch) Kohn has called Paul Ryan a liar.
After this convention I believe even FOX will have no choice but to fire her and Juan Williams. They are too radical for public consumption.
wow...even that big stupid douchebag michael moore predicts a ROMNEY victory.......the facades of liberalism are cracking a bit more every day...and the liberal ivory castles will collapse on election day.....anyone thinking of voting for obozo should heed this...a vote for obozo is a vote for national suicide......
mcpaddywack - you clearly are wacked! NO ONE is predicting a Romney victory!
Obama/Biden 2012
the ONLY person thinking Obama is going to win is you sanity...
Vote Romney!
The Mormon vs. The Moron
No, I hope he is going to win too
Barack Obama:
Alias Barry Soetoro pawns himself as Barack Obama, the humanitarian, the POTUS, the campaign for hope and change. But we know better. Barry is a radical Marxist who was raised by Communist parents and Communist grandparents. His mentors were known Communists, his contacts in college were strictly Marxists supporters, Marxist professors and a group of Pakistani activists as stated in his book, “Dreams From My Father”.
Barack Obama, tell us about Frank Marshall Davis or Bill Ayers. Surely you remember Mr. Davis. After all, your mother knew him all too well. Mr. Ayers, a known terrorist, responsible for at least a dozen bombings, helped your early Illinois campaign by raising money, thru his organization Underground Weather. Tell us about your trip to Pakistan (’81) with Pakistani Wahid Hamid.
Share with us your ideals of socialism, after all you’re a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), referred as the “New Party”. Please tell us why you have been influenced by the writings of Karl Marx, the prelude to Communism. Share with us your association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Do you justify this man’s message by condemning our country by saying, “God bless America? No, God Damn America”? Was this a forethought supporting your belief in Marxism?
Are these the individuals who have inspired you to public office? Are these the individuals who have inspired you to plot against the United States? Are they the people for whom you’ve entrusted your Muslim faith?
Please tell us why you mocked the Holy Bible and Jesus’ sermon on the mount, calling the sermon a radical message. You have mocked Christianity and this country. Barack Obama, you have betrayed this nation and all its’ people. Your skin is dark because of your race, but your soul is darker because of your deception.
United States of America………………YOU didn’t build it Barack Obama.
Listen DOUCHE BAG...KNOCK OFF THE COMMENT SPAMMING!
We heard you the first time 3 days ago..
Well Well welfare queen...............having fun? Wait until next week b1tch.
My friend.....do you know what a Communist is?I bet you do not.I would like to see you reiterate Webster's definition on here of what a Communist is...really I would..I would like to see why you are so fearful of a political definition..Do you know what Fascism is? I bet you do not.I would like to se you reiterate Webster's definition on here of what a Fascist is..really Iwould..I would like to see why you are so supportive of a political definition?..I would also like to see if you belong to the Nazi Party because you certainly sound like you do..Hitler thought much the same as you..I am sure you believe his ideals are radically brilliant ideas...Read the book Mein Kampf sometime...or 1984 by George Orwell..I would really like to see at least one of you try to read( or get an audio book of)these 2 books,.they are a must read before one posts here

......And I will bring rainbows and lollypops to all children....
This guy is rich, and not just with cash, and overseas tax shelters. Make no mistake though folks, Romney and deep pocketed slime machine have made a brash, political calculus in the cold light of day that just may work; LIE, RINSE, REPEAT. These aren't the usual campaign exaggerations, these are the real thing - STRAIGHT UP LIES.....Really Paul Ryan??? See Politico's column today by Governor Grandholm. These cats are no joke, so we need to step up our game folks. AS much as Romney is a bumbler, he is a win-at-all-costs player. Don't let the leave it to beaver family fool you - this guy is ruthless. ("nobody asks me for my birth certificate"...Truly appealing to the most unamerican among us).
They have a zillion dollars to look straight into the camera and tell you the world is flat - and guess what - that's exactly how they PURCHASED the nomination. Romney had to outspend Santorum 8 to 1 to win his HOME state by 3 percentage points!!! He did not win the hearts or minds of anyone...He is now attempting to buy the white house mailing address. The hope is that fair minded, casual voters glaze over with the onslaught of ads until some talking head will invariably say - there is truth stretching on both sides, lets get back to the issues........
Wrong. It's not both sides folks.
Trust me - he may win it if the dems don't punch in. It's a brilliant strategy to LIE and say they won't be governed by "fact checkers".. And when the media calls them out, they just say they are biased like they always have been. Throw in some voter I.D. laws in some key states and voila! Romney wins. Cynical but effective.
Dems / Obama team, here is some free advice - You had better have our candidate forcefully make the case that he clearly believes that we are on a path which is fiscally unsustainable. The republicans OWN this argument (and ironically most of the responsibility for the deficit by the way, but who's counting). If Obama cannot AGAIN articulate clearly what his plans were that were thwarted by the house, or what his revised plans are to reduce the debt, you had better get used to saying president Romney.
Like the republicans have on medicare (inexplicably), the dems have to fight this war on republican turf and go hard at outlining the deficit reduction plan so everyone understands the democrats aren't just a bunch of whiners protecting the lazy folks out there, and they are serious about tackling the debt. Unlike Paul Ryan - who was a laughable little frat geek last night. Presidential? Not so much.
Rice's speech was presidential - I disagreed with the trillions of dollars she wants to spend that we don't have to be the police of the world, however what a contrast with the petulance of Ryan. But I digress.
Lastly get the flip-flop archives out showing Romney taking both sides of every key issue over the last 8 years, and all the footage of Ryan lying into the camera. Two straight months of it. You can't be the president if you don't have core beliefs, and you can't be vice president if you are a straight up documented liar.
Let's get to work dems. They have some deeeeep pockets.
Obama / Biden 2012
Truly pathetic.
The politics of division envy are never victorious. Real Americans despise them.
of course you mean Romney
Paul Ryan won over many last night. Mitt Romney will finish the job tonight.
But they owe their victory to Obama, the worst President EVER!
It's ideas biatches. The left has nothing but lies and distortion.
Mitts budget will destroy the U S A as we know it. WAKEUPAMERICA. forever...
What budget? He's not president yet.
The drones from the left are desperate and low brow.
conservative
Yes, but he has bought into Ryan's budget, which has passed the House. Go figure. You really need to keep up with current events. I guess the "drones" are more up to date than whatever you espouse to be. What are you anyway, a tea bagger, ultraconservative, just dumb, or listen to Limbaugh to much?
ROMNEY will win because his honesty
IS overwhelming and such
A person like Consv. Repube knows who is
LYING when they say that the
SACK of biatches
OF whom we know as the
$H!T left distorts the truth.
Silly me---I thought the election of President Obama was about restoring the promise of America. Little did I know that the racist dog whistles would continue and that the Republicans would harm us all in order to prevent his re-election. Thanks but no thanks, Mitt. Your kind of promise I don't need.
Jobs we do not need. We need more food stamps perhaps 4 years of UN-employment. Also bird chopping wind mills are a great Idea.
We also need 4 dollar a gallon gasoline, High food prices. And 8 plus unemployment
Yes Obama is your man if you want 4 more years of no ideas and to go forward over a cliff to total destruction.
College grads if you enjoy your parents basement vote OBAMA. If you want to start your life as a young adult vote Romney....
Racist dog whistles? What does that even mean?
We all know which ideology the racist identify with, the same one Obama does, the head racist in the party of racists.
No one is listening to your "dog whistle" bullsh!t except the loons who work for (Matthews, Todd) and watch (you and the rest of the loons on FR) MSNBC.
Give it up.
Sorry, no soup for you!
From the article above:
Let's break this down,
President Obama's 'The American Jobs Act' got rejected by the Tea Party House of Representatives. That would have created millions of jobs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt created Social Security. The Democrats have kept it going for over 75 years. Tea Party wants to eliminate Social Security with a voucher system.
President Obama has strengthened Social Security, Medicare and The Supreme Court of the United States of America has Upheld the Constitutionality of the Patient Protection and AffordableCare Act (PPACA).
Democrats have been the leaders in advocating Public Education since its inception. Republicans
have been trying to privatize public education for decades with a voucher system.
President Obama's policies have been creating jobs for the past 3 ½ years.
Sorry, Governor Romney. But we already have a President who is doing all of those things to help AMERICA right now.
President Obama is a GREAT AMERICAN, a LOVING HUSBAND, and FATHER to two beautiful children. President Obama is ONE OF THE BEST PRESIDENTS THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER HAD.
President Obama is leading in the Electoral college, and he will be re-elected easily. We must focus on ENDING the Tea Party's obstruction and regressive reign in the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
All of my Eisenhower/Reagan Republicans, Independent, and Democrat American freinds know that President Obama is the ONLY choice to KEEP THE MIDDLE CLASS, KEEP OUR DEMOCRACY, AND KEEP AMERICA STRONG.
Salud.
You fail to mention that American jobs was stimulus 2.
If the first 850 billion of borrowed money did not work why did you need number 2
Weird how you all fail to tell the truth.
You're right, that first 850 billion didn't help anything. That's why GM and Chrysler went belly-up and we lost two-thirds of the Big Three. It's also why we lost a big chunk of the banking and insurance industry.
... oh, wait ... we didn't? My bad. Guess that stimulus kind of worked, huh?

They hate free speech...
Ummm....
The village is missing their resident idiot and they're concerned...
What's next, the Andrew Briebart site? lmao!
Such an intelligent response. You must have at least 6 years of college behind that response. Only problem it is not based on any real data. Democrat lies are not going to cut it anymore. Feisty is that Obama thing in you mouth?
Actually sweetheart, it's your husband or boyfriend!
Hope you feel better now, knowing I can satisfy them and YOU can't! ;o)
oooh, SNAP!
Ms. Redhead, your quick quips are appreciated and would make John Stewart pee in his pants.
Salud
Feisty
How about taking 3 days off, studying really hard just so you can come up with ONE half-way intelligent response? I think everyone on here would really appreciate that and be extremely and happily surprised if you could come up with even a one-fourth intelligent response. Pretty please?
Why do Democrats want voter fraud?
Because they do.......
Equal Opportunity Mormon . . . I mean M M M M Mitt Romney ?
How about the Republican Deficit Spending of the past; http://zfacts.com/p/318.html
HOW will you really create 12M jobs over 4 years ?
The only way I know, is from a result of war, (i.e., WWII economic recovery) for example. Your commenct to Israel on your little adventure there as of recent.
You have no idea what it is to have only a few dollars in your wallet, so you cannot connect with the average American.
You are a bad choice for the ticket, would prefer Condoleezza Rice, now she's a true leader.
is that why you sue out of federal court?
I think it's because you know the Supreme court has already ruled in favor of voter ID////
Kristen,
The only way I know, is from a result of war
If you knew how to create the jobs "the only way I know" my guess is you would be running for President - not posting comments on here. So, quit guessing and thinking you know what he's going to do or planning to do. He won't be doing it by himself. That's why he has a staff & people working with him - to help him get it done. Actually, you're the one that sounds like a war monger with that comment.
I believe in workfare over welfare, I have no problem with people working to support themselves, my problem is with the wealthy that want people to work for slave wages in poor unsafe working conditions, producing unsafe, poor quality products all while they rape and poison the planet. To all those outsourcing gluttons who think they shouldn't pay taxes just remember the more you have the more you have to lose, so weaken the country and the economy because you have a lot more to lose then I do.
Hey Mark, how about providing the figures for "the wealthy that want people to work for slave wages in poor unsafe working conditions, producing unsafe, poor quality products all while they rape and poison the planet" statement - I mean all wealthy, 10% wealthy - what is it? Your comment doesn't make it clear.
How does anyone know how Romney and his partner in crime are going to accomplish anything while in the White House, when he won't tell anyone what their plan is??????? Romney is just a puppet for his puppeteers, the 1% who are trying to buy the election. Our country is on the way back from this recession, no thanks to the republicans now in Washington D.C.. They have promised to make Obama a one term president, well we should promise to make all republicans unemployeed. Sounds like a plan to me!!!!
O&Joe 2012
gustifer
Who exactly is the 1%? I mean, what's the breakdown? My boss is a physician, does that make him a 1%? Or do we take into account all those student loans before deciding if he is in the 1%? And does his specialty affect whether he is in the 1%? Ohhh, this is getting complicated. . . Should I be really pissed at him because he worked hard to get where he is and works his a@s off 6 days a week? This President has caused the worst class warfare ever in this country - shame on him and shame on all those who are buying into it.
I keep hearing and seeing that "Restore America" slogan from the people who came close to destroying us and STILL obstruct every attempt to do just that, restore America.
goper stands for hypocrite outside the United States.
Democrats stand for NO HOPE OR CHANGE IN YOUR POCKET!!!!!
Food stamp president needs 4 more years....
Wow,your back too bad it's the same old BS from you !!
the show must go on. WAKEUPAMERICA.
America is wide awake.
Democrats, Eisenhower/Reagan Republicans, and Independents are voting for President Obama.
Salud.
TomasGrande
Speak for yourself buddy. I'm an Independent and I know a LOT of other Independents who are all voting for Romney. Try not to make those all inclusive statements - they are incorrect
No debby,
I am an independent and am with tomasgrande. Lot of my collegues are also for Mr. Obama. So this is not an inconclusive statement. I judge them correct.
