A new Gallup poll shows that 38% of national adults rated Mitt Romney’s convention speech as either excellent or good -- that's the lowest percentage since Gallup began tracking this question in 1996.
The other past convention speeches:
58% said Barack Obama’s ’08 speech was excellent or good
52% said the same of John Kerry’s ’04 speech
52% for Bob Dole’s ’96 speech
51% for Al Gore’s ’00 speech
51% for George W. Bush’s ’00 speech
49% for Bush’s ’04 speech
47% for John McCain’s 08 speech

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney takes the stage to formally accept the presidential nomination during the final session of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida, August 30, 2012.
The Gallup poll also found that 40% of national adults said the GOP’s convention made them more likely to vote for Romney, while 38% said it made them less likely.

With numbers like those...
It's no wonder Willard is back in the Mittless Protection Program!
Rather than basking in all the glory, Willard decided to go into hiding! lol
Why doesn't he ride the momentum?
Why doesn't he ride the momentum?
He's icing down his nose.
533+ lies and counting. At this rate if Romney gets to sit in the Oval Office his nose will be sticking out of the front door of the White House and disrupting traffic on Pennsylvania Avenue.
or ride something else. Alright, I know that was uncalled for. Just couldn't let it go by ;)
And these numbers surprise whom?
Rather than basking in all the glory, Willard decided to go into hiding! lol
Why doesn't he ride the momentum?
I think that's exactly what he is doing Feisty! The momentum he is able to ride from that pathetic convention allows him only to go into hiding.
I just love my gun jumping libbie friends.
In case you all have forgotten - O and his crew gets to go tomorrow.
So we shall see how he does with his own momentum - which of course right now is going against him.
After all just a couple of months ago he had a decent lead. It's now either straight up tied, of O is losing.
I'm sure he'll right the ship with all his talk this week about the economy.
Sure he will.
I can always count on you, Tony ☺
Geeze!
Poor Willard has to actually do a honest days work and *poof* he's exhausted! lol
and i'm sure Willard's going to tell us how he intends to make it better and then show us his tax returns so we don't think he's a lying crook, right?
What's this I hear that Mitt Romney and his "little sidekick" Paul Ryan want to start a THERMAL NUCLEAR WAR with RUSSIA because they still think RUSSIA, our New Ally and Friend, is still the old UNION of SOCIALIST SOVIET REPUBLIC, USSR, or something like that?
Did Mitt Romney really say that in his Acceptance speech?
Is he Crazy or something?
I'm a former once proud Republican, and I don't like the GOP Republican Party's 1950 thinking that Mitt Romney and his little "side kick" Paul Ryan obviously now believe in.
I don't want to go back to those "DARK DAYS" of George Bush, Dick "Darth Vader" Cheney, Karl Rove (who as we speak right now, is Funding Mitt Romney's campaign), Haliburton Oil, or BlackHawk Mercenaries.
Please vote a straight Democratic ticket come this November 2012.
The Republicans built their Convention. And it was built on lies. And thankfully the American people saw right through it.
Spanky,
You said, "So we shall see how he does with his own momentum - which of course right now is going against him. After all just a couple of months ago he had a decent lead. It's now either straight up tied, of O is losing." Really? Have you read Nate Silver over at 538 recently? Have you checked out the electoral map? No matter how many times you repeat a lie, it does not EVER MAKE IT A TRUTH..
So, now we only have a country that's 38% stupid
Golly Brad - you and Nate can theorize and guess about the electoral map.
It's not a fact until the votes are in. You know like the percent lead O had just a few weeks ago.
I know, I know, libbies do not like numbers.
So gang - pretty funny that the DNC requires picture ID to get in, eh?
Must be a bunch of racists.
RCP daily averages, which of course includes a whole lot of polls.
But by all means keep 'LOL-ing'
Say - did you recall what Rass. had the Walker race at the day before?
My fear...all of the millions and millions of dollars contributed to this campaign and their superpacs by extremely wealthy individuals with questionable ethics and character. Now it appears that their candidate cannot stand the scrutiny and rigors of the campaign trail.
No wonder Karl Rove mentioned mysterious murder and unknown whereabouts. I believe that it is not just Akin that is in deep with this lot. If these same neocons were willing to lie us into war, is it such a leap of faith that they would exact a high price from the candidate that failed to deliver on their expected massive tax breaks and relief from regulation after the thirty pieces of silver have been paid.
Fiesty -Geeze! Poor Willard has to actually do a honest days work and *poof* he's exhausted! lol
As opposed to Obama, who has NEVER done an honest days work in his life and definitely not since Jan 2009!
Are you guys watching our president in Ohio on CSPAN? Wow!
Are you ready for some football?!?
Mitten's convention spike in the polls is as short lived as it is short. O will widen the gap by Friday. But the real killer for NitMitt is when he's standing at the debate podium with the whole nation watching him try to squirm out of all his Etch-a-Sketch moments over the past year. "I dare him to try to make a 10k bet with O. Unlike Perry, O will take the bet, and shove it right up Mitt's ass.

O&Joe 2012
Exactly WTF is a "national" adult?????
Pat,
Bring it on! ;o)
Why are all the Tea Tards comments being collapsed??
Spanky,
It makes sense that you'd want to focus on the popular vote, it's the only place the race looks close. The only problem is that the popular vote counts for exactly ziltch. The Electoral College is the sole means by which we elect presidents, and Romney has no viable path to 270.
I dunno ... the little voices in your head? You cheeking your meds?
"RUSSIA, our New Ally and Friend..." .... ???????
Is that the same Russia that sends special forces to Syria to help good buddie Bashar murder the civilians?
How many troops has our "ally" Russia sent to Afghanistan to help?
How about all that support we get from our good "friend" Russia at the UN ... can always count on their vote, huh?
Sheesh ... what an absolutely moronic post.
Just because Obama is Putin's poodle, hardly means Russia is a friend or ally.
Hmmmm - Willard, or Odumbo? Which childish name makes a poster look more stupider-er.
Decisions, decisions......
Bob, concerning your post #1.26 which I personally would like to see be reinstated:
"Is it something I said"?
Really, my Family and the other Families in my Republican Community are Praying to God, that Mitt Romney and his "little sidekick" Paul Ryan, will Not be elected, so they won't be able to Rain a NUCLEAR HOLUCAST or ARMAGGEDAN on us.
That's what I got from Mitt Roney's Acceptance speech the other night. I believe I heard him right.
That he, Mitt Romney, and the GOP Republican Party want to start a not just a NUCLEAR WAR, but a horrific and hideous THERMAL NUCLEAR WAR, with RUSSIA.
Thanks but no thanks.
Mitt Romney is a known Liar, an admitted Tax-Cheat, and most likely Guilty of Felony Charges from his Bain Capital days where he tried to "RETIRE RETROACTIVELY" and got caught doing it.
No Mitt Romney!
I know Ryan will have to go to confession for the lies he told last week... He must confess to a priest before receiving the holy sacraments on Sunday...
I wonder if Romney has the same rules to live buy? Honesty... Truth... Integrity...
www.gottavote.org
this election for the Goober Obstructionist People (GOP) is "go big, or go broke". "hell no we can't" will never materialize for draft dodgers, liars, flip-flopper's from the gated community.
Hey there Feisty: Thought you might want to see what Mormons are "SUPPOSED" to do.......Mitt's magic undies MUST be protecting his rear end that has been on fire for months.
Searched Mormons and Ten Commandments:
"9 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. Besides avoiding the fabrication of stories in an effort to get others in trouble or to conceal our own faults, members of the Mormon Church also are taught to avoid gossip and backbiting, which can be very destructive to the speaker, the hearer, and the victim. Even if a person has truly done something wrong, there are times when no comment is needed and other times when the act should be reported to the proper authority-but still not to the neighborhood. The world finds great pleasure in “dirty laundry,” and the news and popular television programs are driven by it. Mormons are taught to be very cautious about engaging in such things."
I've said all along that Willard HAS TO BE LEADING on Labor Day in order to have a chance at winning. McCain had a lead after his convention, Kerry had a lead after his. Even Michael Friggen Dukakis had a lead but not Willard. Meanwhile, warming up in the bullpen is President Barack Obama, ready to close the deal.
Game over Republicans! Four more years! Better stock up on tissue now!
He didn't even mention Afghanistan and all the empty chairs in American homes because of lives lost in many US families.
But the GOP did have an empty chair being talked to by a senile cowboy who was actually talking to himself.
Why low marks? I get it.
41 months of 8+% unemployment, a record since 1948; labor participation rate at 63.6%, lowest since 1981; weakest recovery since WWII; $5.5 Trillion in new debt; attacks on the Constitution with contraceptive rule, Healthcare mandate/tax, appointments when Congress not in recess, not enforcing Federal laws, Holder;s contempt of COngress on Fast and Furious= that's what Hope and Change has brought this country.... We can't survive another 4 years of Obama.
I think Clint was funny. What was Mitt's speech about again? :D
All smoke and mirrors.
Where's the PLAN, Mitt?
You know, the one that's magically going to create 12 million jobs?
Congress hasn't passed ONE jobs bill since the Republicans took the House in 2010.
You know, the Congress that was supposed to have a "laser-like focus on jobs"?
Everyone knows it's just talk to cover up the fact that they're working to give their corporate masters more power and American workers less.
Obama/Biden 2012
The only sane choice
Ho hum....just another "Social media" Progressive remarks day on Newsvine. I see the usual ObamaWagon supporters are at it again. Watch out, you may be thrown under the ObamaWagon as was Oprah, Rev. Wright, and the Kennedys.
I can hardly wait to hear Mr. Obama's surprise announcement that his "new" V.P. pick to replace Mr. Biden will be either: Bill Ayers, Anita Dunn, Valerie Jarrett, Chris Matthews, Mrs. Cuttless, Mr. "Deflection" Bixelrod, or Mr. "Man on Five" Emanuel. Of course the announcement will come after his guest speaker, Mr. Bill Clinton who Mr. Obama called a RACIST in the 2008 campaign, speaks randomly and off cuff with emphasis on his wife running for President in 2016.
Yep, the DNC will be nothing more than another "Attack Platform" and Mr. "Delfection" Bixelrod started it off yesterday during an interview.
If the GOP is really so proud of the policies of George W. Bush that they want to inflict them on America a second time,
WHY are they hiding Bush?
You know, the mastermind, the Decider, Mr. Mission Accomplished?
Haven't seen hide nor hair of him or Dick all this time.
In the 1996 campaign Bill Clinton talked about a bridge to the future. Today Republicans are talking about a bridge to the past -- an imaginary past that never existed.
Sorry Mitt -- Mayberry RFD was a TV show, not a real town and next to nobody ever lived that way.
I think Romney's waiting for the gold plates to appear in the desert and "reveal" to him his jobs plan.
Pat Boston MA,
obama doesn't like the song "are you ready for some football" or also known as Hank Williams-All my roudy friends are coming over tonight.He doesn't like it so much that after Hank Williams said he didn't like obama,obama used his influence at abc to have it removed after 22 years of monday night football.He says he didn't get affected by what Clint Eastwood said I wonder what influence he is going to use to quiet Eastwood or anybody else.Lets see how fast the libs collapse this post because they hate freedom of speech.
.... We can't survive another 4 years of Obama.
We can't survive any more years of incompetent tea tards in Congress, we can't survive low information fox noise mouth breathers who vote, and we certainly can't survive another Bush2.0.
Because of the many, many millions of americans that have been out of work since the companies they worked for either down sized or folded starting back in 2004, the national suicide rate is at an all time high and proof of this is in reading that 40% of the GOP that watched the Romney speech feel more positive about the republican bullet that is heading their way to put them out of their miseries. It's tough when you're a die hard extremist and have never looked anywhere beyond the R before the candidates name before making your vote.
Well let's see:
58% said Barack Obama’s ’08 speech was excellent or good Result -- Liar & Socialist & Fiscal Disaster
52% said the same of John Kerry’s ’04 speech Result -- Loser but scored higher than his opponent
52% for Bob Dole’s ’96 speech Result -- Loser
51% for Al Gore’s ’00 speech Result -- Loser
51% for George W. Bush’s ’00 speech -- Result -- Winner
49% for Bush’s ’04 speech Result -- Winner but scored lower than his opponent
47% for John McCain’s 08 speech -- Result -- Loser
Not much conclusive here. I find the question interesting -- based on what you read or heard. Why wouldn't a better approach be -- did you see the speech? If yes, how would you rate it?
Relying on third party recounts of a speech is pretty stupid. I also find the numbers among independents (Romney swayed more than lost) and democrats where 9% were more likely to vote for Obama and only 6% of Republicans less likely to vote for Romney. A lack of enthusiasm gap is beginning to show.

60% of American corporations pay no taxes.
Corporate taxes are down to only 8% of federal revenues. 8%!!
They already bought themselves one real nice Supreme Court decision in Citizens United.
Do you want to hand them a couple of more seats?
Because that's what this election is all about.
This was the CNN Money headline in Bush's last month of office:
Job loss: Worst in 34 years
Employers slashed 598,000 more jobs in January as unemployment rate climbed to 7.6%.
Here was last month's number from the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 163,000 in July.
There's your choice.
The only way the GOP can win is LIE!
R-money and GOP going backward...
Obama and DEM...FORWARD
Expect the corporate tax rate to dive to much less than the 8% of federal revenues they currently pay in the near future as a growing number of them are no longer hiring employees which means they would have to adhere to federal employment laws. They now force candidates for jobs to sign contracted work hours in the form of private contractors instead thus shirking a majority of the worker protections in place as well as the taxes that go with them. Expect in the near future that states will also require these very same private contractors to be licensed to work and pay their own payroll taxes with no benefits. It's already happening across the nation. Thanks Texas!
he Federal Bailout That Saved Mitt Romney
Government documents prove the candidate's mythology is just that
Hey Ben...you're gonna need to do some explaining on how you can place the words Bush and winner in the same phrase
together. This does not compute on this end baby.
Texas bonehead fits.
.Obama the promise BREAKER!! Equals a LIAR!!! BIG EMBARRASSMENT to the USA!!!
Obama’s promise that his healthcare proposals would “never be purchased with [a] tax increase on middle-class families.” The SUPREME COURT & JUSTICE DEPT say it is a TAX!!! .Attack on the middle Class! Taxation by misrepresentation---the LARGEST TAX in World History!!! Does he remove the tax part????....NO!!!
…….…NOW Obama wants to invade Syria and Iran!!!
..mr. American businessman..YOU DID NOT MAKE THAT!! It was stolen from the back of the worker---PURE MARXISM!!...this is PURE
…ANTI-American…tell it to Ford or Steve Jobs or the Mom& POP store on the corner>>>
Remember these?
THE OBAMA CHRONICLES:
“I promise 100% transparency in my administration.”.
“I promise NO NEW TAXES on a family making less than $250K a year.”.
“I will allow 5 days of public comment before I sign any bills.”.
“I will remove earmarks from PORK projects before I sign any bill.”.
“I will end Income Tax for seniors making less than $50K a year.”.
"I will bring ALL of our troops home within ONE year."
“I’ll put the Health Care negotiations on CSPAN so everyone can see who is at the table!”.
“I’ll have no lobbyists in my administration."
"I'll close Guantanamo."
"I'll resign if I don't cut the deficit in half by the end of four years."
"I'll unite the people of this great country."
“The TROOPS will be home for CHRISTMAS.” WHY ARE MORE LEAVING EVERYDAY???? AND DYING every day…
NOW Obama invokes Executive Privilege( as a Sen. called it’s use a RUSE!) for Holder on GUN SMUGGLING and killing US Agent Brain Terry!!! That only applies if Obama was part of it!! Obama & Holder should be on trial for giving Machine Guns to the Mexican Drug cartels!!
BETTER KNOWN AS LIES.
Fool me once shame on YOU!
Fool me twice shame on ME!
Even Joe BIDEN has endorsed ROMNEY for Prez!!!!
BozoHussan=Chicago MOB politics=NBC=GE= no taxes from the bought and paid for crony ==twist every crises toward Pravda PressPROPAGANDA!!
Feisty,
I love you, you know opposites attract.
BTW, George H. was defeated because the Democrats crucified him for raising taxes. Now Barry wants to raise taxes and you Democrats love him for it. Please explain.
So what are all you dumb liberals going to post when Romney wins the election?
Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL, Why do you want america To Fail, Why. And How much Money do you get from the liberals. cause only idiots believe that obama is doing a great job. The economy isnt getting better and its only going to get worse from his policies. But hey if your one of those obamabots and to stupid to think for yourself thats okay, the world always needs drones
well libs,It only took 30 minutes to collapse my post you guy's really do hate other peoples opinion and freedom of speech.Why do you hate freedom of speech so much will anybody give that in a proper answer.All I did was mention how obama used his influence to have a song removed from monday night football. I know you don't like it when I talk bad about obama,but libs when you talk bad about Romney I accept your opinion and even get a laugh out of every name you have for him.You don't have to bully people to your opinion let everybody make their own decision.
Obama promised he would not run if the unemployment rate was above 8% at the end of his term.
Well.............obviously Obama doesn't understand numbers.
Having been born over 80 years ago and seen the left and right at their best and worst, I wonder how the Right expects to win having promised to destroy all that has kept us a community where both sides used to be Real Americans with a common goal and not crooked Internationalists that send jobs away rather than create any here.
I'm for both Liberals and Conservatives, both endangered spieces. What we have now is a Moderate President and a Republican Party so far Right they are making their last stand or they will disappear.
The fact that NONE of their past other than McCain is on display and he is there on his war record which includes crashing several planes and doing time. Any that go to war for us believing they are doing the right thing are heros and yet we do not give them the care they deserve. In that sense McCain is a prop just like Eastwood.
I also want to be frank about something: I will fight for everyone's right to believe and worship as they choose but that does not mean I'm for a Mormon in the White House any more than a Muslim or a Scientologist. As a matter of fact I would prefer an Atheist that won't bring some silly messages alleged to be from God into the mix.
We need practical people to lead us and keep all the religions out of it since history clearly shows Religions, through their hierarchy, bring more wars and death than any other grouping. Yes, there are very many religious people that do plenty of good but at the top they are all the same, selling franchises to a hereafter no one has ever seen.
What I wouldn't mind seeing is the candidates having to take an Oath that they promise to tell the truth and jail any the commit perjury. That should prune the bunch down to a very few we can trust.
OK, so I'm dreaming and hoping we don't get into the nightmare Romney and his lying side kick plan for us.
Spanky and Kumar... There are only two things I don't like about "Mitt" Romney... His face.
"Corporations are people." The U.S. Supreme Court "Corporations are people, my friend." Willard "Mitt" Romney "Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power."-Benito Mussolini
You people should be careful what you wish for. You may just get it. Get it?
Sorry but, this is my country too and, let me remind you that, this is not a corporation!!!
maybe he will stay hid and maybe he will just quit? i think this guy is so power hungry that he would do anything to become president. he just seems so fake, its hard to hide. scary. WAKEUPAMERICA.
Nobody's hating on anyone's freedom of speech, pal. But just like the Constitution grants us freedom of speech, it also grants us freedom of opinion. Just because we acknowledge that Romney has the right to speak his mind doesn't mean we can't opine that his speech sucked.
No-More-For-44... But... you survived 8 years of a brain dead, AWOL, yahoo that totally tanked our economy, killed tens of thousands of people, ours included, based on lies? Do you suffer from short term memory loss? Or is it just that you have no shame?
NC62553... "False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil." Socrates
When people who are honestly mistaken learn the truth, they will either cease being mistaken or cease being honest.

I watched Romneys speech, felt bad for him. He has no passion, his words say one thing, his body language says another. Its very much like someone being interviewed for a job they dont really want. They want the pay and the benefits but dont really want to do the actual job.
Romney wont be president.

Fox's Dishonest Handling Of Whether Americans Are "Better Off" Than They Were
Fox's Wallace Forwards Romney's "Better Off" Attack On President Obama
But The Economy Has Improved Since Obama Took Office ...
Nearly 2 Million Jobs Were Lost In Three Months Before Obama Took Office. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment decreased by 803,000 jobs in November 2008, 661,000 jobs in December 2008, and 818,000 jobs in January 2009 -- a total of 2.2 million jobs in three months. [Bureau of Labor Statistics, accessed 9/2/12]

I used to have my 3 companies under a corporation for legal reasons it keeps idiots and fraudulent cases being brought against you personally.I only made about 45-55k a year which isn't much but they were my companies (I BUILT),now I don't have them after only 1 1/2 years after obama took office I had to lay off my 8 employees as well.I know everybody thinks corporations are bad but the truth is anybody can have a corporation for about $1000 to protect their personal assets from the company,so that when somebody sues the company they can't touch personal assets(car,house etc.).Every American can also take the same tax breaks given it is absolutely legal and is in the tax code why do you think Romney and every other business in the US does it.After 16 years of owning those companies it only took obama 1 1/2 years to dismantle them.Remember in obama's own book he says the US needs to be downgraded to match other countries and he is doing it.Before libs comment and say it was because Bush I lost my companies "NO" libs had control of congress 2 years before he left office and that's when major collapse of companies began and that's why so many jobs were being lost when obama took office.
Romney is a terrible speaker. How will he ever communicate with the American People?
What are his plans?---Paul Ryan is his Leader, but he will only be a VP if Romney is Elected. There will be silence from Ryan; no President or Vice-President concur on any subject or dire Issues facing a Nation; History tells us so. Mismatches--but anything for a win..
Romney "does" have plans---and they won't benefit you. Watch Out!
Vote Obama 2012!
jared - why do you radical righties always resort to lies that can easily be disproved? It's so - Republican. "Are You Ready For Some Football" was scheduled to be retired because the networks found Hank Williams comments disgusting. They received so many complaints and were actually offended themselves that the decided the song had to go. President Obama had absolutely NOTHING to do with the song being replaced.
When you make totally ignorant statements like Williams did (you should sooooo understand that) there are repercussions.

Collapsing my posts isn't going to make Obama look any better!
Mitt Romney 2012
seekingsanity,I voted for obama and am paying for it you assume i'm radical righty you're wrong.It only takes me one time to learn from my mistake. Williams' outspoken antipathy toward Obama hasn't been without consequences:
Last October, the country singer compared the president playing golf with
Speaker of the House John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, to "Hitler playing
golf with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu," prompting ESPN to pull
Williams' "All My Rowdy Friends" from its Monday Night Football
broadcasts and end a 20-year relationship with the singer.Rolling Stone Magazine.
On ESPN's own website (the people who fired williams,I thought it was abc my mistake) they have a poll anybody can vote on about williams comments.
results,
Yes, williams comments are over the line- 27%
No,there is free speech- 44%
No one cares what williams thinks about politics-25%
Maybe,give williams a chance to apologize-4%
It just shows you that people believe in freedom of speech only 27% had a problem with it.So where are all these complaints you speak of I have searched.
Meanwhile in other news, Oblamo's job approval rating is at an all time low of 45% according to the same Gallup polling entity. Now for you simpleton emotion drive Obama voting left wing hysterics, only one president has been re-elected with a sub-50% approval rating. I'll let you brainiacs figure out which one and the circumstances why.
The DNC Zombiefest in North Carolina this week will be nothing but a slam on Republicans because they know FULL WELL they cannot run on their FAILED RECORD. For those of you who STILL propagate the fallacy that it's all Bush and the GOP's fault....
Remember the day...
January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the House:
At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77 (without coat tail rider like Obama)
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
The average price of gas was $2.29
George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!
Bush's policies were reducing the deficit faster than he had promised:
2004 412 billion
2005 318.59 billion
2006 248.57 billion
2007 160.96 billion
Remember the day...
January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!!!
THANK YOU DEMOCRATS for taking us from 14,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment... to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac????
Senator OBAMA
And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie???
The HYPOCRITE Senator Obama
And who is continuing the "failed policies that got us unto this mess" by dumping Billions more into Fannie & Freddie and NOT reforming them?
The Narcissist In Chief Obama.
So when the kool-aid crowd blame Bush and the GOP...
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007....
THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!
...not only does Boozy RH's threads get collapsed, but posts she makes in her own threads get collapsed...
...when is MSDNC gonna get a clue and ban the beatch...
LOL...Are you serious!!!
And Friday, August 31, 2012, the DOW Jones closed at 13,090.84
After your useless DOW Jones comparison, I didn't have a need to read any further.
OBAMA/BIDEN....2012!!!!
I’m always amused when I read the unhinged rhetoric of left-wing zealots, who go ballistic when they think they’ve detected a “Lie” by a Republican. The outrage and condemnation is always deafening. However, those same duped zealots remain strangely silent when their darling Democrat cronies spew blatant lies on an exponentially more frequent basis. Here’s a few examples of the lies mouthed by Barak Obama:
In a speech delivered in Selma, Alabama in 2007, Obama said that because some folks had the courage to “march across a bridge” in Selma, his mother, a white woman from Kansas, and his father, a black Muslim from Africa, took heart. It gave them the courage to get married and have a child (meaning him). (However, Obama’s parents had him in 1961; the Civil Rights marches across that bridge in Selma didn’t occur until 1965). Obama’s speech was reminiscent of Hillary Clinton’s claim to have been named after the first man to climb Mt. Everest (even though she was born nearly six years BEFORE Sir Edmund Hillary climbed that mountain) and John Kerry’s imaginary trip to Cambodia.
In Obama’s book, Dreams From My Father, he wrote “A Life magazine article changed my outlook on life.” (Life magazine has yet to find the article Obama mentioned in his book. The article doesn’t and never did exist)
Obama also told us that “His father served in World War II.” (but his father was only nine years old when the war ended)
And let’s not forget that Obama said, “I won’t run on a national ticket in ’08.” (Obama even admitted on live TV that he didn’t have enough experience at that time, and he constantly touted the importance of experience) Yet he did run and win. Now look at the disaster his own lie and admitted lack of experience has caused!
As an Illinois Senator, Obama said, “I wrote a tough Nuclear Bill.” (but Obama’s bill was rejected by his own party for its pandering and lack of substantive regulation – mainly because of his Nuclear Donor, Exelon, from which Obama’s buddy, David Axelrod, came)
Here’s another of Obama’s misleading statements: “I passed 26 bills in one year.” (but those were NOT Obama’s bills; instead, they were handed to him after their creation by fellow Democrat, Illinois Senate President Emil Jones, to assist Obama in his bid for higher office)
How about this lie: “I don’t take PAC money.” (He’s taken truck loads of it)
And do you believe this one: “Wal-Mart is a company I wouldn’t support.” (even though Michelle Obama received nearly a quarter of a million dollars through Treehouse, which is connected to Wal-Mart)
In 2008, Barack Obama said, “Guantanamo Bay will be closed within a year.” (yet it’s still open and fully operational)
Then in February 2009, Barak Obama “VOWED to reduce the deficit by 50% by the end of his first term in office.” (Instead, the deficit has exploded under Obama. It accelerated $4.939 trillion in only 3 ½ YEARS since Obama became president, and it’s still rising)
In early 2010, Mr. Obama claimed that the border fence is “basically complete.” (but only if you consider 5% as “basically complete”)
Obama even bellowed that he would have “the most transparent administration in history.” (insert laugh track here) (that lie is so comical that it needs no rebuttal…common knowledge doesn’t require documentation)
An Obama critic (who is a black man) once mused, “We need to ask some very serious questions about Barak Obama. It’s not enough to be black, it’s not enough to be articulate, and it’s not enough to be eloquent and a media darling. The only question will be how deaf an ear, or how blind an eye, will people turn in order to turn a frog into a prince?”
RealAmericansFirst:
YOU WROTE: “60% of American corporations pay no taxes.”
MY RESPONSE: You conveniently forgot to mention that one of the largest corporations paying no taxes is General Electric, whose CEO is Jeffrey Immelt, one of Barak Obama’s close friends. In fact, Barak Obama appointed Jeffrey Immelt to head Obama’s highly touted Jobs Council. And while GE pays no taxes, Mr. Immelt is moving more of GE’s infrastructure to China. I wonder why Mr. Immelt and GE’s behavior doesn’t bother Barak Obama (or maybe even you?)? Could there be a double standard at work here?
Jhawk,
What policy exactly did the newly Democratic Congress pass in 2007 that caused the economy to start its implosion in 2007?
Best part of the RNC was Clint's speech, NOT scripted.
Romney should "do that to himself" as was suggested instead of to us, the United States.
Since FOX STRIPPED their readers of the ability to make comments
they have swarmed here like Ants to sugar.....
the ONE SURE WAY to let them know how LIBERALS feel about their invasion of the LIBERAL PRESS
is to continue to COLLAPSE THEIR GARBAGE... DENY them the same thing that there SAVIOR does
and take away their abilities to express themselves here .
IF FOX DON'T WANT THEM THEN WHY SHOULD WE TOLERATE THEM...?
I say treat Conservatives exactly like they treat our President.... OBSTRUCT THEM !
They have been playing GET EVEN POLITICS for 50 years AND IT IS TIME FOR LIBERALS TO
PLAY THE SAME GAME....
SHUT THEM UP, SHUT THEM DOWN AND KEEP THEM FROM POLLUTING THE LIBERAL VOICE !
We have tolerated their BS for 4 years, it is time to bring a hammer to the game .
COLLAPSE ALL CONSERVATIVE THREADS & REPLIES....SEND THE CLOWNS PACKING !!
We want to be just as "Fair & Balanced" as FOX is towards them .
I'm going to go w/ *Odumbo* making a poster look *stupider-er*....simply b/c *Willard* really is Romney's 1st name!
Well, he says it is. We haven't seen his long-form birth certificate yet to verify that. Or that he wasn't born in Mexico. Or that his parents, who emigrated to the US from Mexico, were American citizens. Or that his mother was his father's only wife, seeing as his grandfather renounced his US citizenship to run off to Mexico where he could practice polygamy w/ multiple wives w/o getting arrested. Or that Willard wasn't their *anchor baby*.
If Obama had a background like that, the birther contingent would be having brain hemorrhages over it. Romney? Not a peep. Hmmm.
Yeah, so, did Sir Edmund Hillary accomplish his feat when he was 5? He was already alive & already famous when Hillary was born. Total non-pt.
As for the rest of the pts....you do realize Obama had no way of knowing that key Republicans, incl Paul Ryan, banded together after the election & vowed to be as obstructive as they could in order to make him a one-term president....right?
Obamas' statements weren't *misleading*. Those Republicans misled.
Jhawke.
Yes, and they don't know that. In fact, they don't care. It's the truth and people don't want to hear it. Especially when they are wrong and they know it. Tell a Obamaholic about the mess which the Dems brought to this country and they just tune it out cause they are too busy jizzing in their pants or their panties when the 'great one' opens up his mouth to make another old, tired, and monotonous speech.
It's the same speeches he made 4 yrs ago only some of the wording has changed. But the topics are the same. It's 'campaign' time and Obama is great at that. He's a pro at that. Hell, the man campaigned for the presidency and won it unanimously back in 2008. Took over the Oval Office AS president and has been campaigning the entire time he was the president. NOW, it's campaign time once again and well, guess what? He's in full 'campaign mode' once again.
What has he done regarding the Gulf States? You see what happened down in the Gulf States regarding Hurricane Isaac . Why hasn't he made an appearance to see what he can do for the people down there or at least show he cares about them? Oh, OK...he supposedly went today to see the damage.
The damage was done Wednesday NIGHT early Thursday. Instead of taking time off from 'campaigning' why didn't he go on Friday or Saturday to show his support? Noooooo, campaigning is more important to our 'president'. To hell with the people in the Gulf States, they can wait for him.
Something is wrong with this man's convictions. He ignores the most important things. Common sense would dictate that. Oh, but let's vote for Obama for a 2nd term. Lord knows he has don't enough damage in the first so let's make sure he finishes us off during the second term. Then everyone can be happy.
To Jhawke...let's not forget Timothy Geithner was involved with the the financial meltdown too as he was the President of Federal Reserve Bank of New York. He helped bail out Bears Sterns and AIG. Of course this was all under the direction of the Bush adminstration of Henry Paulsen, the Secretary of the Treasury, which Timothy Geithner now holds.
PIPPO,
After 80 years on this earth, I should think that you had developed some common sense. But common sense doesn't exist in the left wing dictionary. If you believe that Obama is a moderate, you haven't been out of your house the last four years. I was born and raised under a socialist government and that is exactly what we are experiencing right now. If Obama gets reelected, I guaranty you, this country will never recover from its debt. Your welfare checks and social security checks will stop coming in ten years or so, because interest payments on our debt will exceed our income. You people on the left are going to be in the same boat as the people on the right. It's easy to make stupid comments but the reality is going to hit you right between the eyes in the coming years.
All I have to say old man and Spanky is that the world is a dumber place for your comments.....Everything is always status quo in your republican minds.....I could give a dissertation to you as to why this is so...But I am tired of wasting my time repeating myself to stupid......Look back at my comments and all your economic "woes" are addressed and explained in as much crayon as I can write it in.....
@Teaparty LowIQ
You are so correct. It will come as no surprise to you when no conservatives on this vine actually answer your question. They'll try to deflect, steer it away and say stupid things like yeah but.
You won't get an honest answer out of a one of them. They're cowards who will never own up to their parties treachery. If nothing else these low information droids are predictable. Dishonest IDO, Spanky or any of the rest duck and cover when confronted with this documented truth. They can run but they can't hide. We will have to keep throwing this in their UN-American fat greasy faces.
I'm still waiting for a response about what policy, what law the Democratic Congress passed in 2007 that caused the 2007 recession? BrianB and the rest of them keep saying "IT" (the crash) was the fault of the new 2006 Congress. On the face of it it is ridiculous, but I'd like someone to point to ONE credible thing that Congress could have done that "caused" the meltdown.
Republicans, Republicans, oh Republicans, how in the hay did you come up with 2 such dudes (a buffoonish clown, who steals from the working poor and middle class, and an extremest radical liar, who wants to terminate all the Medicare, Medicaid, and SS benefits that people have paid into) ?? Are they the best you can get?? Go back home , and reform your Party from a lying, disillusion, manipulative, dishonest, etc., etc., to something that you can be proud of with values such as: HONESTY, INTEGRITY, and a true WILLINGNESS TO WORK WITH THE GOVERNMENT, and TO WORK for ALL THE CONSTITUENTS (not just the upper 2%).
Americans are extremely unhappy with the Republicans bad behavior, lies, contempt of women with the Dark Ages attitudes of legalizing rape, men (not doctors) dictating the womens' healthcare, and greedy benefits/exemptions sternly fought for the wealthy elite. Show the Republicans that we the hard working people have and hold more values for the good of this Country than they have shown for a very long, long time now.
@Smallbusowner/Independentthinker,
Asking these clowns to actually answer a question where they actually have to give you an answer that's credible and they go mute. Scum bags like spanky and ido are the worst. Spanky is supposed to be a lawyer so I expect him to be a dirt bag. Ido is just a low rent single wide queen who is beyond ignorant. I've never seen him post anything even marginally intelligent.
In the end, if you keep the standards for these clowns low you'll never be disappointed. They will always live down to your expectations. I think spanky went to the same law school Bachmann went to. That explains his ignorance. It comes with that degree printed on toilet paper.
Did anyone else notice when Condilisa Rice was speaking, the cameras feverishly panning the crowd looking for a black person?
@Chad
It's kind of sad that this is whet these ignorant people have reduced the Republican party to. The days of Ike are long gone. Ike would be ashamed of them and with good reason.
Unhappy-1583758
First off I'm not sure about your facts but the issue is, do you expect the president to use the power of govenment as a dictator and force the end of outsourcing? You know, should mommy government be what you on the Right want or is it what you don't want? As to everything you say and imply, any president is fairly well limited to making war with little restraint and that is a recent thing in our history.
The point is that the power lies in Congress and what do we find there??? We find that the Right is deliberately going against everything Obama tries to do including implimentation of stuff Republicans had previously said they wanted until Obama agrees with them then they will do whatever it takes to thwart any effort the president makes on our behalf.
If you were to say that your goal is to make Obama a one term president because you don't like him for any reason, I can dig that. It's your opinion. But, all the bull@!$%# about who actually creats jobs or controls the price of oil and all the other trash you guys lay on the Negro in the White House as a fault, even as he has only Veto Power that can change some things.
Study civics and you should uwatch the news besides FOX and see what you think then.
Blah BLah Blah ..........
Pigotry (#1.33):
Excellent post!
Very accurate analogy.
" ... because they hate freedom of speech. ... "
Damn! Can no one on the Right read? And those who can, have such a hard time understanding what they freaking read?
The Constitution ONLY protects your right to free speech from the Government. FROM THE "F"ing GOVERNMENT!!
Moron.
Willard ain't physically gone yet. He is presently somewhere hunkered down along the base of a hill on the road to nowhere. All republicans know that road well, and will presently go get Him, and drag Him back. He'll do this often with His strategy of running out the clock. Poor sum-bitch, like most republicans, doesn't grasp the meaning of measuring time on a clock that runs backwards.
Where are your tax returns Willard? How did you finagle stealing bailout money Willard? How many Companies are your Bain capital operating in the Caymans Willard? Are you the "Mormon" equivalency of "Bernie Madoff" Willard? You are a liar and a thief Willard.
Better get working on a plan, Romney! Looks like everyone can see that the emperor has no clothes!
To be expected.
Romney had nothing to say, other than "Queen Ann wants to pose on the White House balcony, so I order you to vote for me! After all, I am not accustomed to hearing "NO".
Seriously, after that performance by Eastwood? Who was paying attention to MItty?
And then there is:
I expect he is huddled up with his lawyers.
Yeah, 'cept you all promised he was going to jail a couple of months ago.
Besides the current heads of Bain seem to be O supporters, so there is the 'Corzine' problem all over again.
Oh and the Gov kinda sucks at this investigation thing-y. Just ask Sheriff Arpiaio.
Holy crude Blackcat - I just read the blurb you cited. Did you? What does 'their tax-writing policies" even mean? Plus I love the 'loop-hole' stick.
You libbies are much better off with your dog-whistler meme.
Although how it is you all can hear a dog whistle is funy in and of itself.
Nice story.
Doesn't mention what years they're looking at for possible tax dodging.
And the lawyer heading up the charge is Obama's appointee for investigating the recession’s mortgage crisis.
Yeah, don't worry about the entire middle class in foreclosure, you've got some possible dirt to find. Go us, right?
blackcat, no surprise here. Not when you're dealing with a republican nominee who destroyed his Olympic records, destroyed his MA Gov records and hides his money and tax returns.
Hard to believe he's the USA's R nominee. I guess that old saying is true - the rich are different from us. And no way do we want this rich SOB leading our country. No way.
He's a sneak. So typical of today's wealthy.
Do you mean that attention whore from Arizona? The one who thinks he's Dirty Harry?
Spanky, perception trumps reality and elections are won and lost in the court of public opinion.
You know how that stuff works right? Guilt by association.
Also got rid of all the hard drives after he was Governor. I can only imagine what that could tell.
Pleas GOD, don't let Mitt Romney and his "little sidekick", Paul Ryan start a THERMAL NUCLEAR WAR with RUSSIA.
Doesn't he know that RUSSIA is No longer the old UNION of SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLIC"?
It's true Mitt, RUSSIA is Not the USSR.
Us Freedom Loving Americans do Not want to go back to the 1950's.
And we definitely don't want to go back to the "DARK DAYS" of George Bush, Dick "Darth Vader" Cheney, the "little turd" Karl Rove, Haliburton Oil, or BlackHawk Mercenaries! Did I mention the "little-turd" Karl Rove"? He's part of the Mitt Romney campaign. Did you all know that?
Sure blackcat - or just guilty, like COrzine.
But Corzine was literally Obama's man on Wallstreet, the guy he went to for advice.
So come on and explain just what it is they are supposedly investigating, cause it can't be the use of legal loopholes, and it was not Bain that wrote the tax policies.
Poor O -all he can muster is a tie with a terrible tax dodging, dog abusing robot.
Oh and there is the small issue of the unemployment rate.
Hey Spanky "working" today?
Maybe you should join a Union.
tony,
"Do you mean that attention whore from Arizona? The one who thinks he's Dirty Harry?"
Apparently he IS Dirty Harry since your dim witted attorney general and obama administration FOLDED!
Perhaps holder thinks HE'S Dirty Harry.
Your fear is palpable -- afraid your feeding at the taxpayer pocket is coming to an end???? How's that 16 TRILLION dollar debt working for you or don't you care since you don't contribute to this country, just a taker! Don't forget the last 2 years of Bush and the first 2 of the empty suit in the WH the house and senate was democratic controlled -- they do own this mess but just not man enough to take responsibility, kinda like all liberals.
Independents are nothing but a bunch of closet Republicans!
Why not just just wave a Republitard flag infront of ya house instead of playing chicken....
Even W warned you folks in the past "you are either with us or not"...
Gallup polls should never include which way independents might vote...it's a waste of time, you take that sheep skin out and ya got a Wolf in the SOB....
Yeah, if we can "just trust Mitt" about his taxes,
WHY did he take all the hard drives out of the Massachusetts state computers when he left the governor's office?
Romney's campaign slogan, "What you don't know can't hurt me!"
Hey Dottie, curious, what State are you from?... so we can see whether your whole State is a taker from the Feds or not..... 9 of the top 10 contributing states are Blue, you know..... the Red states are the trough feeders in this country, don'tcha know.
Check this out, this is great, you ALL ought to read this: http://www.economist.com/blogs/dailychart/2011/08/americas-fiscal-union
Your need to change your name to RepublicanforObama not RepublicansforObama.
yep, its true, I saw it posted somewhere.
Was Mittens speaking? sorry, I was rolling on the floor laughing my ass off at how Clint was punking the GOP. Well done Clint.
Dottie's Girl - the ignorance of your post is so deafening it's almost comical. But, that's all the right has to fall back on - the lies that anyone who doesn't vote your ignorance must be living off the government.
Stupid girl - more Democrats are 1%ers than Republicans. And, more Democrats have advanced degrees. More of you guys live off us!
Obama/Biden 2012
Seeking,
Did you look at the Economist article I posted at 2.16? Pretty amazing. My State is the #1 donor at nearly $1T. So much for the myth that those "city dwellers" are the welfare leeches on society.
The other irony is that most of the donor states a solid blue. Make sense of that Dottie! She hasn't answered yet about what state she's from. I'm not holding my breath.
All smoke and mirrors.
Where's the PLAN, Mitt?
You know, the one that's magically going to create 12 million jobs?
Congress hasn't passed ONE jobs bill since the Republicans took the House in 2010.
You know, the Congress that was supposed to have a "laser-like focus on jobs"?
Everyone knows it's just talk to cover up the fact that they're working to give their corporate masters more power and American workers less.
Obama/Biden 2012
The only sane choice
I think Romney's waiting for the gold plates to appear in the desert and "reveal" to him his jobs plan.
Seeking Sanity: That would explain why so many democrats want bigger goverment. Afterall, you like it when people are dependent on you for a job, right?
It allows you to become a dictatorship, since now you must control the money as well as all the social aspects of life.
I thought that was the reason we left England. We didn't want to serve a King!
MITT ROMMNEY FOR PRESIDENT 2012!!!!!!!!!!!
take back the house 2012. no more plutocracy, no aristocracy. storm the polls for democracy!
UnHappy,
Huh? That doesn't follow at all.
No, Blue Staters contrubute more, have better education, and vote Democrat. See, people who are NOT selfish do better, and do better for others.
All you here is lowering taxes. Sure they give us little guys a small cut that don't mean anything and let the big guys have all the real breaks. If they would make the big guys pay something we could make a dent in the deficit and get back on track. All I want is to not raise our taxes, get some money from the rich and pay down the defficit. If they would be more responsible and cut the waste...watch how they spend hey, we could all benefit. Both sides scare me. Just that Obama scares me less cause Mitt wants to put the bone in the hole.
Romney is not that much different than Obama, but he is a man that accomplishes things, rather than a great speech maker.
If 2010 was any indication, America is ready for a person who gets things done, rather than a person who whines, complains, and makes outlandish claims (pass the stimulus and by 2012 unemployment will be 5.7% as 1 of 100's of examples) that he did not accomplish.
From laughing at the "shovel ready jobs that weren't so shovel ready" to lying about Obamacare and the monstrous government bureaucracy that is being created along with the myriad of new taxes, to golfing 4 working months during the biggest economic downturn in 70 years to blaming EVERYONE but himself for his large and varied failures, Obama simply is not a leader. He is a great speech maker, so no doubt he will get high marks again this convention.
So if you want a speech maker who does not accomplish much, and blames everyone else, vote for Obama.
If you want a guy who isn't a good speech maker, comes off a little cold, and has a successful track record of working with the opposing party and accomplishing big things, and a guy who understands our economic engine, world trade, and how to negotiate, vote for Mitt.
Personally, I wish Gary Johnson had gained some traction, and I guess there's still time, but the Libertarians have not yet figured out how to make headway on the national scene.
The lies are finally catching up with Romney/Ryan. I say move this country FORWARD not BACKWARDS vote for OBAMA/BIDEN. Vote Republicans/Teaparty out of Congress if we want to get this country moving, or we will see the same obstructists like we saw for the 2yrs.
You nailed it Terry, I call it the lesser of two evils and being middle of the middleclass, I'm voting for Obama. Bush nearly destroyed me, everything went up from cars to groceries to my taxes and it was tough back in 08, hard to make ends meet even. Now is a little better and I'm an independent and am conservative on some issues and liberal on others, but Obama has at least tried to help me excape Bush's tax raises in April and for that, I am grateful. Reagonomics hasn't worked for 37 years now but Romney's already wanting to try again...grrrr Republicans always cost me money and I'm tired of it.
Romney is a terrible speaker. How will he ever communicate with the American People?
What are his plans?---Paul Ryan is his Leader, but he will only be a VP if Romney is Elected. There will be silence from Ryan; no President or Vice-President concur on any subject or dire Issues facing a Nation; History tells us so. Mismatches--but anything for a win..
Romney "does" have plans---and they won't benefit you. Watch Out!
Vote Obama 2012!
I'm surprised Robme"s "speech" polled even in the 30's! They had to spend so much time"humanizing" the guy, they quickly ran out of things to say! Here's the thing about Robme, he belongs to a church that believes in a planet called Kolob and thinks that sacred underwear protects them. That right there is enough for me not to vote or even like the man. Oh, but that is just the beginnning of the craziness. He really believes that the United States government can be run like a business. Herbert Hoover thought the same thing. NEVER in the history of this country has such a notion been proved to be successful! The government was not set up to be run like a business and guess what folks.......it doesn't! "We, the people" are included in the day to day affairs of the country to make sure it would not be run like a business. Not to say that some entities have not taken a run at it. When you see things like $18.00 hammers and such, that is some fool or group of fools trying to run the country like a business, a bad one to be sure. Robme has no problem with gutting social safety nets and the affordable healthcare act because he has no point of reference regarding these issues to go with. Robme's money was given to him by his daddy and the rest he made by firing people. He wants people to think that he has all the answers for job creation. Robme's experience is in wealth attainment. I have no problem whatsoever with that and he should just call a thing what it is but he would rather misrepresent. And besides job creation is the least of it, so much else is needed in a president that Robme just doesn't bring to the table. Mostly, the man cannot connect with the average person. Now, he wants me to believe he gets some of his shirts from Costco. If Costco ever came into his thought processes at all prior to his "humanizing" campaign, it would have only been in the formation of how he could takeover the company and fire workers thus transferring the savings to his own coffers. Being the president requires more than that, however and I'm not will to bet on a man who's getting his marching orders from a non-existent planet or an urgent phone call from his underwear! Lastly, he picked Raul Ruin as his robbing mate and.....when Robme smiles......he creeps me right the heck out!
Romney's speech was great! He is such an honorable man and Ryan rates right up there with him. At least we know Romney loves America unlike that card toting communist/muslim we now have in the White House. God help America if that turd get's re-elected.
People I know in Europe are laughing at us 'dumb' Americans....it seems they all know we have a Muslim/Socialist in the White House and half the population here in America have blinders on.
Stupid, stupid, Hussein Obama supporters. Take the blinders off already. All you need to do is look at his past. He hung around with radicals dummies!!! Do you think the ideology missed him? His loon radical commie mommy, who dumped him off with her parents to raise and his absentee polygamist daddy was a commie and nowhere to be found in the raising of Hussein. No wonder Obama is a pathological liar. God.......look at his familial heritage. Really screwed up if I say so myself and this piece of $...t is our president. Unlike Romney's typical American upbringing. A fine man. One who uses his own money to help the needy whereas Hussein wants to 'spread the wealth' by taking our money to give to freeloaders. Did you know Castro said he wanted 'to spread the wealth'? That didn't work out very well for the Cuban people by the way. Did you also know that the infrastructure 'jobs' Hussein is creating has been given to the Chinese? Check out Diane Sawyers show on it. And WHERE are Hussein's college records?? What is he hiding?? He has paid millions to keep them closed. Who is paying for that by the way? Maybe he doesn't want us to find out that he was a foreign student who got his education on the taxpayers dime. Come on Hussein!!! Release those college records!
Romney/Ryan 2012
Aside from the lies, especially in Paul Ryan's speech, as well as snark in Romney's speech, the Epic Fail of once again being void of substance and details, these poll results are not surprising. Also, as I've mentioned before, Romney's delivery style is a turn off -- more annoying than the hyperventilation is the way he cocks his head like a puppy dog after he says something he thinks is profound.
As a side note, what's with Nikki Haley and talking like she is gritting her teeth? In the not too distant past, establishment Republicans were...more normal. The GOP needs to get it together.
DOC - I am an Independent. I can't seeing voting for a person just because of his or her party affiliation.
Tom Wilcox -- Agreed. And what's even more hilarious is the empty chair is more popular than the generic Republican that Romney tries to be.
The 12 million jobs are already in the forecast regardless. *Bold* this is not.
Mitt the twit, did he say what the 5-steps were? We can guess -- Cut taxes that benefit the rich the most, deregulate, destroy trust funds and programs like Medicaid immediately along with trying to repeal ACA, give more contracts to the Military Industrial Complex, and drill, baby drill. We've seen this horror movie before.
That's not a bad percentage considering he said absolutely nothing about his plans. Imagine if he had a plan.
And nobody is surprised. Ths GOP really needs to get its s#!t together. When a fumbling, mumbling 82yo, talking to a chair, gets the Best Marks for any of the GOP speeches...
...that should be their wake-up call.
However, their arrogance will be their undoing. As always.
Georgie,
Our President is a muslim communist, he's just waiting for the right moment to take your guns away, declare martial and sharia law. Right.
Your party must be proud to have you.
I love how Mitt said he would focus on jobs. Hey, didn't we hear that from the Republicans in 2010? What did that get us, certainly not jobs legislation. Dirty bills that tried to kill Obama Care, Planned Parenthood, the EPA, Dept of Education but not jobs. They refused to send clean bills to the Senate but cry when they get ignored. Gee, I wonder why.
So Mitt, you'll have to understand if when I heard you say you would be focusing on jobs I changed the channel. Just more unbelievable BS from the BS party.
@Smalbusowner
They count on people like him. After the election he get's kicked to the curb with the rest of them. The GOP calls them "useful idiots". They're pretty much right on with that one.
He did worse than John Kerry? Ouch.
Even Michael Dukakis had a lead after his convention.
and he LOST! Pretty stupid argument but I'd expect nothing less from the uneducated.
Yes Dottie, Dukakis lost. So tell me genius, how is Willard going to pull this out after a two week period when he picked his running mate and made his case directly to the American people, the best he can do is tied? If you think Willard will be leading 10 days from now after the Democratic convention, I have some oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you!
Al - Dottie's Girl shows over and over again that she is totally uneducated and proud to shout it!
Obama/Biden 2012
Hahaha, 52%, 51%, 49%, 47%, 38% for the last five republicans. If you graph it, it looks like a ball rolled off a table.
The republican party is dying right in front of us.
What's sad about the GOP is: they wanted, they HOPED that Ryan would give Romney a boost. Romney alone isn't enough, and they know it. When you have THAT awareness about your candidate, that he needs the VP to carry him over the top -- then you've picked the wrong guy.
Sadly, for them, Ryan is as much a soggy noodle as Romney is.
Really? Because last I heard the speeches given to us by Condoleeza Rice and Marco Rubio were superb!

Romney's speech reminded me of a quote from Michael J. Fox on Family Ties: "Sincerity is the most important thing. When you learn how to fake that, you have it made".
The greatest threat to Romney is the TRUTH and Voter turnout.
His actions speak louder than his perpetual lying. He has been responsible for thousands of people losing their jobs. THOUSANDS. All in the name of profit. Disgusting.

You've heard the President announce this website in his speeches.
Regarding Romney's speech. Remember the look on his face when the crowd cheered before he began to speak?
What an eerier sight. Like the N@zi's cheering for H*tler. It was very strange, the look on his face. A look of "finally I'm getting the praise I crave so desperately". He must have thought.
Just remember America, you get what you vote for..........
With all his whining and sighing, it sounded more like a session with his therapist than a campaign speech. On second thought, I guess they're the same thing, for him.
A speech! One will determine the fate of a nation by a speech in which a Presidential hopeful has made! OMG This is really sad. So go ahead and vote for Nobama.
If he is reelected, our liberty, and the hope of the resurgeance of our Beloved Constitution is going to forever disappear. Nobama has done absolutely nothing in the past years and has plans for us. Plans? Does Stalin, Hitler, and Lincoln ring a bell at all to you? Research what I have said before you give an answer. I will not argue though. I've done my homework before I speak. May god Bless America!!!

Sounds like Obama. More Hope and change, right?
Republicans, Republicans, oh Republicans, how in the hay did you come up with 2 such dudes (a buffoonish clown, who steals from the working poor and middle class, and an extremest radical liar, who wants to terminate all the Medicare, Medicaid, and SS benefits that people have paid into) ?? Are they the best you can get?? Go back home , and reform your Party from a lying, disillusion, manipulative, dishonest, etc., etc., to something that you can be proud of with values such as: HONESTY, INTEGRITY, and a true WILLINGNESS TO WORK WITH THE GOVERNMENT, and TO WORK for ALL THE CONSTITUENTS (not just the upper 2%).
Americans are extremely unhappy with the Republicans bad behavior, lies, contempt of women with the Dark Ages attitudes of legalizing rape, men (not doctors) dictating the womens' healthcare, and greedy benefits/exemptions sternly fought for the wealthy elite. Show the Republicans that we the hard working people have and hold more values for the good of this Country than they have shown for a very long, long time now.
Really? Because last I heard the speeches given to us by Condoleeza Rice and Marco Rubio were superb!
And last I heard, they weren't running for President.
Listen to these 2 articles on youtube: "When Mitt Romney Came to Town" with creative destruction.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad_E8VXm4m0&feature=player_embedded
Now for a further explanation: The loans were to the company not Bain. First, Bain gains controlling interest in the company, so Bain can basically make all of the executive decisions. Then it gets the company to borrow money under the guise of helping it out of its immediate cash flow issues so "it (the victim company) can GROW its way out of trouble." Once in control and the company has borrowed all that money, Bain collects huge fees for its services and piles that money away, now completely separate from the company. At the same time, Bain gets the victim company to buy back any stock Bain may have had to purchase to get control,which then severs Bain's relationship just before the victim company falls into default on the loans.
Finally, based on the specific circumstances, the FDIC might have to cover some of the losses. But this depends on the loan sources and whether the losses would or do cause the bank(s) to fail.
Also be sure to see Romney's interview clip from this morning, where he says if you question Wall Street fairness, you're just envious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fdj_7P2Do5M
Now, ask yourself is he really a man of honorable substance for all people???? Is this the type of person we want and need for the U.S.??
All the latest polls show Mitt with a clear lead. Sorry libbies, yur guy is toast!!
38%? Sounds about right. Republicans make up about 38% of the electorate. After America sees Romney's empty suit attempt to debate the President, that should be Romney's percentage of the vote come election day...give or take a couple of percentage points.
Obama 2012/Romney 1040
That is not true...ck the facts - can't tell the truth....lie when the truth would do....
That's a great line - I didn't know Fox used it, but it originated with George Burns.
Voting FOR Romney: Gullible Old Phools.
An Independent Thinker:
Don't you remember what happened during the Solyndra Scandal caused by President Obama. How the investigation came to a close because the chief investigator of the scandal donated money to Obama's re-election campaign? Don't bring Bain Capital into this when your own President somehow misplaced billions of dollars of tax payer money.
If you think these #s are low, wait until he goes off-script (off teleprompter) in the debates. I'll be you $10K that he falls by 10%. Get your popcorn ready.

Wow, That high? When you tell the viewers, and there weren't very many of them, that you will create 12,000,000 jobs and have a plan, but then tell nothing, nothing of that plan what do you expect? There is no plan other than the 40% tax cut for the rich Mitt.
clwyd
Romney said 12million jobs but that is what is projected no matter who gets elected, so the GOP really will not make a difference at all.
"Lowlife = Low-Marks", CLOWN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, yeah! Because he didn't say anything except "Vote for me! I am not Obama!"
No matter what Republicans tell themselves, that ain't gonna cut it!
Qualifications vs a swell speech? No contest...
are we surprised? The man has about as much personality as a statue.
An insult to statues everywhere.
If Mr. O has such a great personality then why are they BUSING in 74,000 people to the convention (from colleges and black churches). hmmmmmmm guess you wouldn't know that because MSNBC nor NBC will be reporting it. So sad not to educate yourself with all the internet resources.
That's because the GOP guys "bussed" into their convention in their corporate jets.
At least the Dems use mass transit.
"If Mr. O has such a great personality then why are they BUSING in 74,000 people to the convention (from colleges and black churches). hmmmmmmm guess you wouldn't know that because MSNBC nor NBC will be reporting it. So sad not to educate yourself with all the internet resources."
Ummm, because it's the Democrat Convention and people, such as the people you mentioned, get invited to attend. Is this really some big conspiracy? Oh, and if you don't like what's reported on MSNBC or NBC than you have a choice...FOX Noise is that way ----------------------->
"So sad not to educate yourself with all the internet resources" ?!? Have you bothered to do any research on Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan? Try looking up Mr Ryan's voting record or the Newt G. feature "when Mitt Romney came to town." Research what the Ryan budget would do to the US economy and the middle class. Or you could just continue to post your useless ironic comments like the one I started this post with.
I wonder if Dottles was asking the same questions when Mittwitt tried to rig the NAACP crowd by flying in his own black supporters?
"Romney also claimed that he got a standing ovation at the end of his speech.
Many of Romney’s claims were debunked by Senior Vice President for Advocacy and Policy and the Director of the Washington Bureau of the NAACP, Hilary Shelton who said that the only African Americans Romney met with after his speech were those that he brought with him. Mr. Shelton explained that Mitt Romney flew in his own African-American supporters who were not affiliated with the NAACP, in order to have some people in the crowd cheering for him."
ROMNEY-RYAN 2012
We should all trust to Bain Capital to make sure we get our pensions, right?
Riiiiggggghhhhtttt.
All Romney and his cronies know how to do is sniff out companies with some cash in their worker benefit accounts and cash it in for themselves.
Don't you ever wonder where Mitt Romney got $21.6 million last year without ever lifting a finger?
Bain Capital stole it for him.
He is not the brightest dimwitt in the republican party. He should have picked a running mate that didn't make him look as lame as he is. Oh, well, strategy and planning ahead are not Robme's strong suit.
true... but generally speaking of course, a statue won't screw you
Hmm. I dunno. Dumbya Bush was as stupid as a goddam statue, and he screwed the whole country!
You know all party stuff and fundamental principles aside......Mitt has done a terrible job in this campaign and made terrible decisions......It truly reflects to Dems or Repugs that he is a bad decision maker.....Such a poor campaign he has run.....At this point I think he is just Sad to watch......That is the difference between a vulture capitalist and a politician....bye bye Mittens
Obama 2012 / Romney 1020
Willard~ I want to see your tax returns. You want to run the country, then show us your returns.
We should have access to all important information about you. Your wife telling the American people you're a good guy, doesn't work.
TAX RETURNS, Willard, Show us how honest you've been.
The main thing is the ratings for Honey Boo Boo were higher than the Republican convention.
Mitt Romney where are your tax returns?? Seriously, for some credibility release them to shut people up like me!
Honey Boo Boo gives a better speech than Mitt Romney!
Honey Boo Boo gives a better speech than Mitt Romney!
Oh ROFL, I do believe that liberals may think that way. Laugh at Romney all you want. He will win this election!
Did Dotties Girl read the schedule? Probably not - reading is so hard - However little girl the Democratic Convention is starting with a party - yes maam a party where all citizens are welcome - and I guess since we poor folk don't have Cayman Island Flags to ferry these people here plus we're inland - busses were hired to bring people to our party
Got it - now go find another thing to gripe about - it's what you do
During the last four years, there have been thousands and thousands of posts about Obama, saying he made great speeches because he had a teleprompter. Apparently, Romney can't even do that.
the teleprompter schtick is about as worn out as a set of old bias ply tires. Everyone who gives a professionally prepared speech uses one. Hell, the regional VP of the company I work for uses one.
JFK was the first president to use a teleprompter.
Teleprompters have been used by every president since.
But somehow it's still unacceptable to the goosesteppers that Obama uses one.
Apparently they prefer speakers to write notes on their hands a la Palin.
It's typewriters vs. computers mentality!
I think we have been hearing the Obama vs teleprompter joke less and less because of what happened in the tea party sate of the union address in 2010.
Michelle Bachmman stared at the wrong camera and teleprompter the whole speech... jajajajaja!!!
Don't think we'll see him using it in an elementary school like we saw the current airbag in the Wh
Dottie the dolt - our President didn't use one in an elementary school you idiot. How many elementary schools do you know that have teleprompters????? You're totally lacking in brain cells - but the perfect Republican.
Obama/Biden 2012
Christie used one. If you zoom in here, just below that big blue thing in the middle, you can clearly read his lines.
http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2012/08/politics/rnc.gigapan/index.html?hpt=hp_t2
Also, it is fun to try to spot the minorities. There aren't many.
Bishop Willard REQUIRED TWO teleprompters just to give an "I ACCEPT" speech !
...and they took 30 minutes to adjust for him so he could READ THEM easily !
The GOP is nothing but a box of rocks that has HIGH HOPES that THE BOX is smarter than THEY ARE .
...and the teleprompter comments are all the Libbies can focus on? Same ol' bs talking points... Can't you brain-dead marxists do better? Face it, nobody on this site is going to change their opinions, attitude or vote based on the snarky derogatory crap that spews from the keyboard of Feisty, Seeking Sanity, tonybeermonger, American Girl and other socialist slugs. beermonger thinks there's a war going on between libs and conservatives and is concerned that it will go to the streets. You'd better hope that doesn't happen... Conservatives embrace the 2nd Amendment...
Don't you know, liberals can't focus on what the President did these past 4 years because he really didn't do all that much except play golf and give away our money to other countries. You know that also contributed to our debt, right?
Everything the President has ever done required enormous amounts of help, yet he has the nerve to say to Americans who started a business, that HE DID IT!
I just can't believe his audacity!
So the congress were able to raise minimum wage from 7.20 an hour to 15 dollars an hour, waooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fantastic!!!!!!!this is why their poll stands at 10% they are wonderful and caring they share their procees or revenue with the middle class, and then their Nominee sends jobs to Asia, and help people to loose their benefits at Bain, what a saints of all the Mormons. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hahahahahahahahaha
" ... Conservatives embrace the 2nd Amendment ... "
That must be because some one told them what it said. Because they sure as hell haven't read it themselves. If they had, they would know that it doesn't say what they say/think it does.
But then maybe not.
Oh, and I embrace the 2nd Amendment, and I'm a God Damned Liberal. The only difference is I know what it says.
" ... A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, ... "
And from the Declaration of Independence, the meaning of the word "State" ....
" ... and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain ..."
So all of you Right wing people with your Bible and your guns. Step right up, your "State" needs you. There is a war going on. It's time to step up and defend it. With you Constitutionally granted right to keep and bear arms.
OOPS! Forgot that part of the 2nd Amendment did you?
Imagine that.
George my Darling - we have been reading that Second Amendment for years - problem is our Neocons on the Supreme Court has chosen to misinterpret it for the NRA - and expand the meaning
that's why this election is so important to now stack the deck in our favor - it is not just about the President but to bring sanity back to this country
Pot, kettle, black!
Why didn't George W. Bush or Dick "deficits don't matter" Cheney show up at the Republican convention? Could it be because the Republican party wants to ignore/forget the fools who started us down the path to ruin in the first place?
Romney has nothing to say except that he'll lower taxes even further for the wealthy.
And you have nothing to say other than taxes should be raised on the wealthy. So? But the truth is what you are saying is Romney has nothing to say but that people who earned their money should be allowed to keep it no matter how much they make.
And YOU believe the government should be allowed steal the money that people have earned based on a purely arbitrary income range that COULD VERY EASILY BE SET AT 70K. It's set at 250k just to scam people like you into supporting the concept of the government having the power to set the income level of it's citizens and THEN move on to WHATEVER amount is legislated by the whims of the legislature. WHAT A TOOL YOU ARE!
red, the power of the government to take money from citizens via taxation was granted by the founding fathers in the constitution.
Please don't insult our founding fathers by implying that they would even recognize the current state of this country. They have all certainly rolled over in their graves at the corruption and greed that is running this country. Both parties are at fault! They have been pointing fingers and mud slinging for so long they don't even remember what their jobs are! When November comes a decision will be made to either stay on this same path and drive the train over the cliff or get off the track and try something else. Wishing both good luck. Now I would suggest that we all turn off our devices and go outside and play cause this forum has turned into a huge crock!
@PAUL -Hope so I need another tax break.
all it takes in shallowville.
i don't think it is fair for the rich to write off things thew poor can't afford in the first place. WAKEUPAMERICA.
Paul: Well he can't lower taxes on the poor, since they don't pay any.
And Obama likes to think that even the middle class is rich, which is why he likes to neglect this group the most.
The Boston Tea party was a political protest against the tax policy of the British government. People were upset and acted out by dumping the tea in the harbor. Well I am not a tea party person but I am upset with REPUBLICANS THE PARTY OF NO. People arn't back to work because of the House Republicans. Romney and Ryan want to cut taxes on the rich, don't that make you mad? They want to go to vouchers for Medicare, and when they run out sorry about your luck, don't that make you mad? They want to privitize social security, yea like lets put our social security in the stock market or something, do you feel safe about that? Do you people on Social Security and Medicare really feel that you will not be affected if Romney and Ryan get elected after all the changing of positions they have taken? And now the Republicans want you to voter Identification or you can't even vote. My uncle gave up his drivers license years ago and because he was born with a mid wife he never had a birth certificate. Good luck trying to get a photo ID with homeland security laws.
I am voting straight Democratic ticket to move this country forward and to prevent the party of NO (Republicans) from continuing the gridlock.
There is not one statement that is true in your entire dribble. Typical democrat!!
If you really want things to get better then you had better learn what is true and stop worring what someone else is paying as long as they go by the rules. You are the perfect democrat, stupid and uninformed. Willing to repeat just because it sounds fair without understanding the conquences!!
I guess as long as you get your monthly check from the government you will be fine.
yes how unfair for someone to work hard and make smart choices and make alot of money!! I guess when the high school dropout gets 100k per year collecting trash america will then be a fair country~
Right. As long as people who write the rules go by the rules, everything is honky-dory.
Maybe I should get a professional lobbyist to bribe a few congressmen to take federal dollars and buy me a new business. I built that, ya know. Without any help.
" ... And YOU believe the government should be allowed steal the money ... "
Actually no. No I don't. But thank you for asking. But what I do believe is ...
From the Constitution of The United States of America.
"Section 8. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"
You do remember this document don't you? It's the one that the Right likes to wave around a lot. And ranting about it being trampled on by the Left.
No?
Huh. Imagine that.
Shawn I don't believe in perfection - however since you bring it up - and call one of your citizens stupid and uninformed then I have to differ with you
Everything Michael said was true - VOTER SUPPRESSION IS REAL
A 70 year old person born in South Carolina who was birthed on a kitchen table and has voted their entire life cannot get access to a valid birth certificate
You want to know the difference you little white boys and girls had access to hospitals - why because you could afford it
Midwifes were predominate in the South - and births were written in their Bibles - all you god loving people should know that - yet what was good enough for god is now not good enough for you
So Shawnl- garbage men are making $100,000 a year - wowdy doo - are you for real?
You mean everybody Detected the Lies & Half-Truths through the Glittering Generalities ?
No, everybody that NBC wants people to THINK that were supposedly detected by people as lies, etc.
Red: Try fact checking, you will become enlightened!
So what you are saying is that paying at a 50% rate is not high enough? Would YOU be willing to pay 50% to support the Liberal sponges that expect the rest of the world to support their lazy butts? I don't it...
What you're doing by cutting tax rates for the wealthy and corporations is putting the burden of building America's roads, sanitation systems, schools, public buildings and parks on the poor and middle class.
What the GOP says is that the working class has to hire all the teachers, firefighters, police, food inspectors, park staff, transit workers, etc. etc. etc.
The working class is already carrying 36% of the burden just through their payroll taxes, while millionaires and investment leeches like Mr. Romney pay NOTHING.
60% of American corporations pay no taxes, and they only contribute a total of 8% to federal revenues now. 8%!!
Pay up, leeches.
America at Risk.
Tell me where you're from and I'll tell you who's a leech.....
http://www.economist.com/blogs/dailychart/2011/08/americas-fiscal-union
We could cut the tax rate for everyone & still invest in America if we weren't spending a trillion dollars a year on arms dealers. But the repukes only want to increase war spending since they make money off killing Americans and don't have to have their kids do the fighting.
"What you're doing by cutting tax rates for the wealthy and corporations is putting the burden of building America's roads, sanitation systems, schools, public buildings and parks on the poor and middle class."
Wrong. The poor and middle class pay less in taxes. When you include tax credits that the poor get back they actually pay nothing. The rich pay more in not only percentage but also actual dollar amounts (3rd grade math).
"What the GOP says is that the working class has to hire all the teachers, firefighters, police, food inspectors, park staff, transit workers, etc. etc. etc."
No the GOP is saying that high income earners already pay a higher percentage than everybody else so it is not fair to raise their taxes even more.
"The working class is already carrying 36% of the burden just through their payroll taxes, while millionaires and investment leeches like Mr. Romney pay NOTHING."
I have already established that higher income earners pay a higher percentage. Why shouldn't the working class have to pay a percentage of the burden (the burden to you being paying teachers, firefighters, building roads, etc.)?
"60% of American corporations pay no taxes, and they only contribute a total of 8% to federal revenues now. 8%!!"
You must not understand what a corporation is? Any business can be setup as a corporation not just fortune 500 companies. Yes even Bob and June down at your local farmers market may indeed be a corporation.Many more start up companies fail in their first 2-4 years than succeed. When a business does not make a profit it does not pay taxes.
As for large corporations: www.mint.com/blog/trends/how-much-do-americas-big-corporations-102011/ You can see that most pay their fair share and some more than their fair share IMO.
"Pay up Leeches"
If only you would have listened in your high school economics class.
That's not true, generally speaking. For example, Mr Romney paid about 14% in 2010, which is the same rate for someone making up to $70,700 adjusted gross income.
Most truly wealthy people earn the bulk of their income from capital gains and dividends, which are taxed at a much lower rate, i.e. 15%.
So higher income earners do not necessarily pay higher percentage, once you get into the serious money.
A single 22 year old with no dependents, making $12 an hour (40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year), will pay $1896 in income tax and $1872 in payroll tax for a take-home pay of $21192. Their federal tax burden will be roughly 15%.
Discounting state and local taxes which are fairly regressive, the person making $12 an hour pays a larger percentage of their income in taxes than Willard 'Mitt' Romney does.
The people I don't get are the folks with ordinary income of over $250k. Someone making $250k a year (assuming you get rid of the deductions Willard 'Mitt' Romney suggests he wants to get rid of, but don't decrease the tax rate) would pay $74582 in combined federal tax for a 30% rate (twice Willard 'Mitt' Romney's rate) Assuming the tax brackets stay in the same place, but that the marginal rates are decreased by 20%, this person will still pay $64192 in taxes.
Under the current system, someone making $250000 with 2 children, a reasonable mortgage on a reasonable house (~$400000) and who does not donate a cent to charity, would pay about $66015k a year in combined federal taxes.
So great, under Willard 'Mitt' Romney's plan, upper income working folk save $2000 on their taxes, and Willard 'Mitt' Romney has his tax rate cut to zero.
Boy What Brought it Home to Me Was one of Willards Donors Sitting With the Party Boat Flying the Cayman Islands Flag - Which You know He Paid No United States Taxes - All Tax Sheltered
Yet When John Kerry Chose to Register his Boat in a Differnt State for Lower Taxes the Republicans Held Him Up for Shame
By Gawd He Paid US Taxes - Versus This Piece of Crap paying $0
THE REPUBLICANS HAVE NO SHAME — AND YOU AMERICANS BUY INTO IT
And what's really news, is that those who like this ACTUALLY believe this is news, that NBC is in the News business and not a wing of the Obama press corp!
NBC has been reporting news since 1940. FOX, on the other hand, since 1996. Who do you think is more experienced?
Yes and the only time Fox News tells the truth is by accident. We won't mention fox giving out top secret troop movements or releasing somebody name that wrote a book under a pen name to keep his identity secret so he wouldn't become a target of Alquada.
...Tonybeermonger, you are a true schmuck! Sadsadsadist, please replace head up a$$... it's not doing well in daylight.
Obama could give his speech after inhaling helium and under the influence and nbc would compare it to the gettysburg address...empty crap for the sheep!
Are we sensitive today. Too funny!!!
Say "Baaaaaah" taxweary.
Tax weary,
What is your tax rate after all? This is anonymous, so you can just tell us. I earned $___— and paid ____% in Federal Income taxes. That way all of us can tell whether you are 1) telling the truth, and 2) should be "tax weary" at all.
Before you say "only when you do..."
here you go: I had a banner year last year, made $238K and piad $45K in Federal income taxes. That's about 19%.
Now, does it seem right that a real small business owner, a real job creator, making $238K should pay a higher rate than someone (named Mitt) who made $20 Million? So yes, I'm nearly a 1%-er and I think the wealthy should be OK paying 3% more.
The results fo giving Romney coloring books and crayons between political stops.
"Romulian Rommey" gave a speech that was so "Alien" to 99% America! He looked unrelatable, stiff, and very unfriendly to many. The GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief" gave no specifics about his economic policy, his tax policy, his Jobs Policy, his Foreign Policy, and his policies regarding social/cultural issue. It is simple America! The "Romulian" has the same tax and economic policies of "Richie Rich" Ryan, and the Tea Beggers in the GOP/RNC "House Of Hoodlum's." The "Romulian" has the very same social/cultural as "Richie Rich" Ryan, and the "Speculator and Chief" has none of his own. The GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief" likes to hide in his Quiet Room with his fellow "Bain Trained" Speculators. The GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief" has NO concept of the truth, and "Richie Rich" Ryan takes lying to a new poltical high. That is fact!
Because you think it was alien, doesn't mean it was. The majority know Obama is a failure and is IN FACT the unfriendly one. Just look at the shambles he has maintained for 3 YEARS and that is supposed to be friendly to the country?

O&Joe 2012
What could Romney say? Obams's health plan is patterned after Romney's.
Romney is going to cut taxes on the rich. He is going to kill the middle class. What is he going to do, bring back the manufacturing jobs he sent out of this country? Oh that is right he and all his wealthy friends want to bring back all their wealth and not pay taxes on it. He will privitize social security and go to vouchers for medicare. And he says, JUST TRUST ME, WE DONT NEED TO KNOW HOW HE IS GOING TO FIX THE ECONOMY.WE JUST NEED TO TRUST HIM.
His convention speech could have been called Romney's Retreads.
The speech was so bad it gave them a bump in the polls ...go figure
The bump must have been because of Eastwood. LMAO
Clint Eastwood is a bump. No a multi-celled organism. That's funny,.....he was fine with Michigan "gubmint" when they gave him his tax break to film "Grand Torino" here.
mike- the "bump" it gave them was so small it was almost non-existent!
Obama/Biden 2012
The Republicans were pompous and arrogant and used a lot of "I's". The Democrats need to make a nice big video of that "empty" chair. It is empty for father or mother who died in Afghanistan or Iraq; it is empty for those children who will never know their father or mother; it is empty for the thousands of teachers across this country who are laid off in Repubiican-controlled states, imperiling the education and future of our children and our progress; it is empty for the unions which will be decimated under the GOP, leaving middle class America without pensions, healthcare, or decent working conditions; it is empty for the selfishness of MItch McConnell and Paul Ryan, who promised that their number one goal was to take back power, regardless of who they hurt; it is empty for the assault on our right to vote and elect our officials, a basic right for which millions have fought and died; and finally, it is empty for the civil rights that the black people of this country fought for so long for which the Republicans now would nullify with their bigotry and hatred of those of another color or religion.
excellent idea!!!!
pcalif: 'Great Post!
Great post, pcalif! I would add empty chairs at the universities that students won't be able to afford under a Romney/Ryan administration.
pcalif: Great post of the year award to you.........****** 6 star rating
If Obama has some intelligent adviser (somewhat doubtful with the stupid attack strategy they often use).........they could learn a lot from your questions about what REAL people would like to hear from that chair. Obama should STOP shouting and projecting noise and start talking common sense as is in your post.
Wonderful post pcalif....nailed the republican agenda!!!
He is lowering taxes yeah and shifting more burdens on the states. When asked about something he will say I believe that should be up to the states to decide and handle. He says he wants to reduce government but hey Mitty it really doesn't matter state or fed they're both government. What a cop out. They want to make huge cuts in agriculture and education, restructure medicare and social security. All hard working middle class areas. He will overhaul medicaid. Please Mitty tell us what the wealthy are going to sacrifice to balance the budget, oh yeah they are getting a tax cut, and that helps exactly how? Must be a lot of ignorant middle class that thinks this is the way to go. They are doing a lot of taking away like planned parenthood which forces women to go to a high priced doc for their yearly exams and making the seniors pay more for their healthcare and still ignorant people are saying yeah, really? He doesn't give flying fig for anyone except his rich cronies.
Do you realize the Government is too big and expensive too maintain? Do you get that? What is the logical move when you have something out of scale, you trim it back, you reduce it, especially if you can no longer manage it, right? Do your realize the size of our debt? It cannot continue to grow at this current pace, as a Country we cannot sustain this growth.
Programs have to be cut or scaled back. In the process you're going to anger someone, you can't be all things to all people, there has to be some pain. The Republicans and Tea Party constituents know the unpopular steps that must be taken to avoid disaster but many resist this path and side with a President who believes that throwing money at the problem will solve the dilemma.
The fact that President Obama is such a like able person, and is willing to bailout everyone in need makes him a formidable foe to overcome. Mitt Romney knows what needs to be done but no one wants to hear it. The Dems have portrayed him as a greedy rich guy only out for himself and other rich people, but that is so far from the truth. Understand, the man already has everything, he doesn't have a need for anything else. He can leave the public scene and live out his days with his family and say to hell with country, let it crash and burn, he has enough money to escape it all if he wanted to; but he doesn't, if you know his personal history in helping others, you'd know he would never do that.
You people are unfairly criticizing him because he has wealth. He has been successful throughout his career, and if you knew anything about business, you would applaud his Bain Capital days instead of belittle them.
Did you know: That GM actually went bankrupt. Do you know that the Government owns 31% of the stock, down from 61% from the original deal. GM has paid back some of the funds that it did not use from the bailout, but not from new earnings. Did you know the original amount of the bailout was $49.5 Billion, and GM still owes 25 billion. Did you know that GM has plants in China. That China has surpassed the US on the amount of cars it sells, it now has the largest market in the world and your tax dollars are supporting car sales in China. Do you realize this is out sourcing, the same criticism you have for Mitt Romney and Bain.
Did you realize that when the Government bailed out GM, the Union Workers made NO CONCESSIONS. NO cut in pay or Union benefits, but their Non-Union counterparts made concessions.
The Bank bailout had it flaws as well, with the CEO's taking huge bonuses after receiving the funds.
Get a clue people. You can't just throw tax payer money around like this administration has and financially survive. Supporting the policies of this President because YOU LIKE HIM is not a good enough reason, you will be committing financial suicide. Pick the other guy, the one you hate, the one with all the financial experience and successful track record. The country needs his expertise and we need it now.
Barack Hussein Obama ll is not an American, but an Islamic socialist. Born from a Communist mother and socialist father. Raised in Indonesia by his step-father Lolo Soetoro, then later, sent to Hawaii to live with his Communist grandparents. There, Barry Soetoro (only 10 yrs. old) was mentored by a known Communist, Frank Marshall Davis and Barry’s grandparents, until he graduated from high school.
Barry entered Occidental College as Barry Soetoro, an exchange student from Indonesia. Two years later, he enrolled @ Columbia University where Obama networks with Marxist professors/followers, black radicals and Pakistani students.
After graduating from Harvard Law School, Obama meets Bill Ayers, known terrorist and co-founder of the Underground Weather. Obama is inspired by Ayers to run for public office and is supported by the “New Party”, an organization that was originally called the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
Barack Obama’s 20 yr. association with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright had left Obama with many political scars and enhanced Obama’s desire for social order in government.
Today, Barack Obama still claims his devotion to Islam, while mocking Christianity. President Barack Obama plans to cut military spending in half, eliminating 80% of our defense weapons, including nuclear weapons and make the US dependent of energy, especially from petroleum oil. The economy is sliding back into recession, with a good chance to hit rock bottom. If this happens, the free world, as we know it, will be devastated. It will be then when the Islamic nations take over, with the help of Russia, ending democracy.
There is a dark side of Barack Obama that separates his ideals from those who live and believe in “We the People………….”. Form your own opinion, if you like, but mine rests heavily on the future of our great nation.
May God bless America.
TopDrum,
I hope somebody ends your pain quickly someday soon.
It takes a special mind to be able to buy all this claptrap that TopDrug is spewing. A very special mind.
GOPis extinct -- geez, you're right about TopDrum! I'm glad you said it. TopDrum has his head up his arse---not unlike all redneck constituents. It's pathetically sad, really. Seriously sad to be so uneducated to the facts.
It does indeed, Jon.
Reverend Jone's camp at Jonestown was full of such "minds".
Top Drum would like his cheese sandwich and Kool-Aid now.........
GOP, don't feed the troll, same post different day.
Obama 2012
Annie,
True. Boy is seriously twisted. Hope he don't arm himself someday. Dude needs to be kept away from theaters and firearms.
Thanks for the heads up skyparrot.
TopDrum must be the gift that keeps on giving. Kinda' like herpes.
Top Drum is a weird little troll who keeps cut and pasting the same post over and over again. Somebody must be jamming the frequency on the antenna on his tin-foil hat.
Do us all a favor and get your meds adjusted.....
Topdrum, you only need to post this two more times before picking your check on fiverr...(Karl Rove is cheap).
Unfortunately for all the Libbies, Top Drum's post is factually correct. So if you get your way your pain will just be beginning.
Obama is the worst President this country has ever see. Time for him to go enjoy his life as a private citizen!
LOL you libs live on polls. When Mitt wins in November, i bet you'll still be screaming, "look at the polls!!! look at the polls!! Obama is a more like able guy, how can we lose?"
"Liberalism is a mental disorder" - Dr. Micheal Savage

(learn how to spell peanut)
Actually it's you who ignore the lies of your party who look at polls, All I've seen in comments here is "look how close the polls are" from your side. The polls mean nothing, PPP, Rasmusen and gallup are all right leaning and they affect the overall polls. It's electoral votes that count and as of now Obama only need 49 more to win and it's been that way for weeks. The current electoral map with no swings states won't show any surprises come Nov, however what will be a surprise to you will be that Obama will win Virginia, Wisconsin(as even Ryan supporters are even disillusioned by him and his lies), Ohio and the biggest shock will be florida.
Michael Savage?? Really?? You might as well quote Rush or Karl Rove. Funny how Clint Eastwood is a social liberal and called the unemployment in this country a national disaster. Clint knows the Tea Party and Republican obstructionists are behind the slow economic recovery. Too bad most "conservatives" refuse to see it also.
Romney:
"First of all,....I'm going to remove taxation totally from all rich people."
"Next, I'm going to make all Union membership illegal so you can't improve your wages and benefits. Anyone talking Union will be jailed or executed."
"After that I'm going to eradicate all social safety net programs so there is no security."
"Then I'm going to attack Iran and conscript poor kids of color to die in the next Republican war; my kids, of course,......will not be subject to the draft......they're future "job creators".
"We will swing open the doors of the U.S. Treasury again to the defense firms. Just take what you want and leave a hefty campaign contribution while yer' at it." **winks**
"Next I will nominate Supreme Court judges who are to the right of John Birch and Ayn Rand."
"Companies can continue to get tax breaks for shipping American jobs overseas. In fact,....I'll give them even bigger tax breaks."
"ObamaCare? Gone!! In its place is mandatory health insurance policies starting at only $10,000 / year per person."
"Vulture / Bain capital will become the prevailing business model for America."
"Middle class children will be sold for medical experiments and used as organ donors for sick Republicans."
"There,....that bout' covers it. Get out there and vote for me will ya'?"
Please do trashy. I'd be honored.
Love this post.... Thanks.
If he's exhausted from one ridiculous speech he gave and from waving too much then he needs to get out of the kitchen...the presidency requires a first rate performance 24/7 for 4 years. The speech was a non starter...platitudes on going backwards to "better days" ....yes the better days that got us here....he was talking to his base...the extreme wealthy and all the other misguided tag-a-longs who think trickle down works. The speech lacked any knowledge of ingenuity and ideas that are up to this century. Same old, same old...and, of course, peppered with all the lies. And Ryan's speech was embarrassing....attack dog with no teeth! More lies...but he lies about everything...even his marathon time...what a hack.
No convention bounce because Ryan/Romney offered no ideas let alone solutions....all they had for America was an Empty Chair to go with their imaginary plans. Romney's a real Nowhere Man, making all his nowhere plans for nobody'
Here comes the DNC convention to debunk the GOP campaign lies,expose the truth about the Obama record and offer actual policy details to move forward instead of the GOP's wreckless austerity plan in a recovering economy.
Romney is in trouble. The Debates are coming and hes going to have to do some math problems on the blackboard and show his work. Increasing Military spending while doubling down on Tax giveaways doesn't add up to debt reduction.
Romney has no Core and no policies for the Middle Class
The president should be President of all the people not just this group or that group, or whatever group will pay his campain fund the most. I will watch the DNC converntion. I just hope they keep to the facts, and not the lying attacks of Obama's campain so far. I will not hold my breath though. Just lock up your wallets, the snakeoil salesman is comming to town in NC.
True, and besides, wood doesn't bounce. ;-)
Hey tim I bet you think Obama has good solutions so he is going to wait till his next 4 years to put them in place
Well, that's half right. I think he's going to continue to put them in place, and with any luck he'll have a more cooperative Congress to help this time.

Republicans don't like “YOU”
Wow BO, you got all of them, excellent post, thanks.
Obama 2012
BO 2012, you forgot dogs, Charles Dickens, and burritos.
BO2012
Awesome list of what Republicans don't like...and sadly, the list is absolutely true. They are anti-anything/everything except domination of the world with our military...all the budget directed to defense spending...and no taxes or responsibility for the very, very wealthy.
BO, is Right the smell of his post is offenceive. You Really don't understand Republicans at all from your list. We do belive in the United States, that is governed by the Constitution. The differance is we go by the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, Liberials don't. Republicans Love All People, we do not break them in to little social, ethnic, or religious groups to pit them against each other, as Liberials do. I had to laugh at your "Preservation of Life" I guess that is for the word only as you want Abortians, that is anti-preservation of human life. But if it is a fish or lizard, then yes you would kill people to save one. You say (which I don't believe) you are for competition, but you don't want it, You don't want privite, and public schools to compete, you don't want earth source energy to compete with Green energy (which is laughable in itself, since Battery power cars use more dangerous chemicals then gas powered, That goes for Light bulbs too, you want CFL bulbs, that have Mercury, but not the old incandencent ones that are not harmful if dropped. You want Choice, but only for women getting free birthcontrol paid by someone else. You don't want Choice for parient for schools, joining Unions, retirement plans, and other things. You want free speach, but only for liberials, you come down on consertives that voice different openions in Colleges, Government, etc. You want Social Security, but fail to do what is needed to keep it going, for example raising the retirement age, increase the amout above 7%. You want all this free stuff, as long as someone else pays for it. You can not pay $100 a month into Social Security, and take out $1,300. a month. In less then 3 years of retirement you would have taken out our your contrabutions, and depend on others to continue to pay for you. Republicans know that with Rights come Responsibilty. Liberials forget about the last part. Republicans keep it simple, We believe in the rights of all people. And that All people should take Responsibility for themselves.
Democrats love poor people so much that they create more of them every year. Just look at the rising number of folks living in poverty, collecting food stamps, and abandoning hope of finding a job. If you like those escalating numbers, give Democrats Obama/Biden another four years and those numbers will soar through the roof!
Yea I am a Republican and your right, I don't like homeless people. It makes me ANGRY that Obama and his administration have CREATED SO MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE.
Treker100
The first half of your statement may be accurate that you don't like homeless people. The last half of your statement is one of those Republican responses that fail the truth test.
300-Michael I don't know where you got your education but, as a graduate of public schools, I was able to find these spelling and grammatical errors in your post. To save space, I didn't include duplicates.

I suggest you take responsibility for improving your literacy before telling people how the country should be run. At your current level, your errors are so egregious that they obfuscate your message. Unless, of course, you are the head of Illiterates for Romney.
Looks to me like you nailed it just right. You named every group that Republicans don't like and I suggest it become a campaign poster.
Great post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, wait a minute, that"s a perfect description of Re.....oh, wait a minute! Sorry, I"m a little slow right after dinner and Dancing with the Stars!
BO 2012 (#20)
I didn't realize the list was that long!!!
That's far more dislikes than I thought there would be..........!
Very accurate, however.
300 Michael -- What a nasty person you are -- your uneducaed stupid shows through. Who are you to tell others what us Republicans don't like -- how dare you, you unpatriotic idiot. I don't llike you that's for sure. Look in a mirror I think you were actully talking about yourself and the Democ-rats. When was the last time you actually sat down with a Republican and talked about their views -- guarantee you never have -- Democ-rats like you have been preached to about all this stuff since the day you were born -- talk about propanganda and indoctrination into obama's socialist world. Have you ever even read his book about his father's life and how he prides himself on emulating it -- it's called coloniallism and in terms of today, socialism. He believes the government should run a country and the lives of its citizens. I know you like that because you are most likely out of work and getting unemployment,. welfare, food stamps, etc., and where will you be if Romney wins the election. You mght have to get your fat ass out in the world and work for a living. You live in a country buster that has citizens of all walks of life that care about each other, help each other and political preferences do not enter the equation. You see they do it out of the goodness of their hearts and don't need accolades like left wingers do. If it weren't for all the successful business owners in this country no one would have a job -- and the government did not create those jobs, the sweat and toil, the long hours each business person put into their own business to make it grow and become successful was done by them, not the government. So if you don't like the way Republicans think, which is your litany above, then move out of this country. You see, Republicans are very proud of this country, we embrace the free enterprise system, we acaknowledge each other for a job well done, for the hard work, for the philanthropic tihngs we do -- when was the last time you gave of yourself to help someone out, to bring a meal to someone, to leave some shoes for a homeless person or a clean, untorn pair of pants for them, or a blanket so they could be a little warmer in the winter. Rhetoric is just that -- nothing but empty words that mean nothings. So you go ahead and worship your God i the white house, and when he has this country where he wants it, knock on his door and ask him if he has any extra blankete to keep you warm whle you sleep in the street each night -- you'll get nothing -- or you might get arrested for asking, but don't be so naive as to think that obama and all the things he has preached he would do will get done -- they are not part of his agenda. But on his agenda is making sure gas prices go to $5+, or that there isn't medicare for seniors and the death panels will just tell you, sorry, you lived long enought and there isn't anything else we can do for you. Mark my word Democd-rat this will happen with obama -- ever hear of Hitler -- well another 4 years of obama and thi country will be under the thumb of a person like that -- can't believe you want to live like that, but if you do, why don't you go and move to China -- you could work for GM -- oh it's not GM any more, GM sold it to a Chinese firm and when it was sold 70% of the jobs in the GM plant went with it. Open your eyes for god sake. Have a backbone to research and investigate, read, don't just listen to the main stream media and think they are so cool and always right -- there the biggest idiots out there. Learn how to make choices for yourself based on your own research rather than believe everything anyone tells you. You won't. Idiots like you like someone else to run their lives.
Damn right! Abortion; there's a Holocaust going on and it's lead by the Women of this country under the cover of "rights", and wholly embraced by this anything goes culture. Fact: the fetus has a heartbeat within 21 days of conception, destroying a heartbeat is destruction of life, period.
If you destroyed the heartbeat of a dog you would go to jail!
As far as Gays, Christians did not make the rules regarding Gays, we are taught and instructed by our Creator that this is not an acceptable behavior to participate in. As a country, most people in the US accept the language of the bill of rights with respect to our "God given rights" endowed by, WHO, our Creator. Why then would not adhere to his teachings with regard to homosexuality.
I'm not here to pass judgment, I know this is a difficult subject and Gays must be Gay, just as straights act straight, but that doesn't mean we change what a marriage is. We are taught by our Creator that a marriage is between a man and a woman, man did not make this up, so we are just trying to do what we believe to be right. You can't be Christian and then bend or make up your own rules, that's not how it works.
I can't go down the whole list but these are two subjects that stand out from the rest that are very important. Life is not about being "kool" or "cutting edge", it's about truth and standing up for what you believe, and these two subjects have a dramatic affect on our society.
Mitt has no soul, therefore he will lose.
He'll lose because he's about as interesting as a zip code in Kansas.
zip code in kansas! good one Annie.
That made my day!!!
Salud
I would be more likely to vote for Clint Eastwood's empty chair than for Romney/Ryan. At least the chair won't rob the middle class....
Hey, don't offend that zip code.
I will take Romeny over Mr. Uncontrolled Spending. I just hope the country can survive. The rich are lucky, they can easily move. The poor and the middle class will have to stay and pick up the bill he leaves, when the rich no longer pay 70% of the national income.
As if Barack Obama has a soul!
Now, that's funny! ;-)
So you would prefer a no tax then spend administration again?
Besides, it's the other 535 politicians that decide what gets spent. Could only find the courage to blame one?
300Michael...Uncontrolled spending???, UNCONTROLLED SPENDING???, you are joking or making just possibly the biggest display of your ignorance yet dufus... Congress approves or disapproves spending, a republican controlled congress let me add. Please do yourself a favor and turn off the computer, go watch some more Faux Noise, you are not intelligent enough to watch MSNBC, it will stunt your growth (more). You have to be an adult to comprehend adult programs.
Wall Street Journal MarketWatch will differ with you 300 Michael.

Check out the graph. The Repubs are the big spenders, the war mongers, the greedy and the arrogant.
The speech wasn't all that bad. Problem is most everyone knows by now that almost everything he says is a lie.
Romney/Ryan = "No mas, pantalones!"
It was a rather pathetic speech and since he claimed to write it himself perhaps gives some incite.
Bummer for him, cause it was boring. All I could think about was how funny Clint was punking the GOP.
Got no reflection in a mirror either Tom.
He could have paraded his five sons out in their military uniforms......
Oh, silly me - they've never bothered enlisting since we've been attacked!
Yea, tell us what Obamas military rank was.....
Nope. He'll just send them over to France to do "missionary work" in a French mansion somewhere.
Commander in Chief.
ZINNNNNNG!
Ouchie,....
That one's gonna' leave a mark!!!
JA, Commander in Chief
Obama 2012
JA
President Obama, never gave up on finding and killing OBL... The terrorist who was responsible for 9/11 and over 3000 innocent American lives lost...
As Commander in chief he ended one of the two Bushes wars (Iraq) and is bring to an end the other Bush war... (Afghanistan) All, while at the same time pulling this country out of the biggest recession since the great depression...

VirginiaDemocrat78
oooooh, SNAP!
Awesome comeback!
From the article above:
In conclusion, a net gain of only 2% of national adults say the GOP's convention made them more likely to vote for Romney.
FORWARD, NOT BACKWARD!!!
Re-Elect President Obama.
Take back the House of Representatives.
Keep the Senate.
and America will lead the world out of this Bush CREATED Recession.
Salud.
So I guess that after 3 1/2 of failure to get America out of this recession we are still blaming the last administration. So the President is not going to take responsibility for his failure to turn the economy around. Sorry, you must have your head stuck in the sand.
President Obama stated after he was elected that he would NOT run for re-election if he couldn't get the unemployment rate down to 6% in 3 years in office. I guess the President lied.
Sorry, but most Americans do not want to go Forward Off a Cliff. The President had his shot and failed, now its time to let the othe guy have his shot.
Well said
"Sorry, but most Americans do not want to go Forward Off a Cliff. The President had his shot and failed, now its time to let the othe guy have his shot."
The other guy is the same guy prior to Obama, you know the guy that no one likes to talk about because he caused this mess.
Where have you Republicans been in the last 3 1/2 years? Obama has made huge strides in correcting Bush's monstrous errors and unfunded mandates. How many jobs were lost during W's last term...MILLIONS! Under Obama 4M have been added every month for the last 30 months, even while having to deal with your obstructionism. You are rightly labeled the "Party of NO". All of you have gone against what would be best for our country. The Republicans spent all their time throwing the economy off the cliff (remember the debt ceiling debacle? Thanks for getting the US credit rating lowered, party of NO) only passed laws to take control of a woman's body, birth control, forced ultrasounds, abortion, or voter suppression. The country could have made even more progress if not for you EVIL bunch.
Over 4 million jobs added. New jobs have been added every month for the last 30 months. I did not mean to say 4 M jobs a month had been added under Obama. Tried to correct before my message was posted, but didn't make it in time, so I don't need anyone to correct it.
Net Jobs? Not 4 million. The trouble with you liberals is you don't look at the facts. The housing market crash was caused by who? Barny Frank and the rest of the democrats on the banking committee. GW tried to stop it 11 times but were caused racists. Our deficits went way up when Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi took control of congress and controlled spending. George Bush was by no means blameless but compared to BO! Your statement only proves you went to government schools.
What was Obamas military rank??? Sure, smart asses, I bet the soldiers saw him in the field many times. You know exactly what I mean and without a political office, he would have been very satisfied to remain an anti military radical and activist....and he will always be just that....Getting a public office does not give you military credibility....and of course when Romney is elected, you will support his military rank also just as you supported Bush....Lefties are such asses....
What the Dems need to do is point out the Bush W. job record after he cut taxes for the rich. In 8 years the Bush Economy created approximately 3.5 million jobs, most of which were public sector jobs. The private sector jobs were simply shipped to China and India (see Bain). I am always stunned that these republicans have the nerve to say anything about jobs when they said nothing during the Bush years. They now want to hire the man who pioneered outsourcing to run the country. A man who did such reprehensible things (regardless of what he was involved) in that he went to great pains to destroy all evidence (hard drives, documents) and is now hiding his tax returns.
Romney is not a great speaker, like Obama is, Obama can sweet talk voters out of their last dollar. Romney is a doer. He just gets to work and gets things done, don't look for him to give firery speaches. The president becomes the Commender and Chief. but that doesn't mean he actually knows what he is doing. His commanders in the field gave him advise, but he didn't heed it. I have a feeling that we will have to go back the both in the near future. The Republicans are the Party of "No" when it come to Raising Taxes, Out of Control Spending, Free Giveaways. That is why you have heard No so often, and like every mother tries to teach their your dauthers, Saying No, is a good start. The Problem is Liberials don't know how to say No when it comes to spenidng other peoples money. They do it to feel good, at other peoples expense. I am sure the future workers will love paying for the current spending Obama has added to the Federal tab.
As for Jobs, dispite Obama's plans yes some companies are hiring. The Problem is there are more people being laid off then there are people being hired. We still do not have as many workers as we did when he took office. That pretty much tells you all the new people entering into the job market from College's and Schools, are not finding jobs they trained for, if they can get a job at all. We need to make a tax plan so businesses can plan for the future, and hire. This changing the tax code every 2 months, makes for uncertianty. Businesses hate this, because they can not plan on what a new hire will actually cost them. US companies already pay the worlds highest tax rate, not to mention the most money to deal with regulations, and the highest pay/benifits,(except for a few European countries.

One question! What the hell are you talking about? And you talk about lefties beings asses. You righties are just alike. You have no TRUE facts about anything, so you come up with something out of the clear-blue. Please!
Precious...Yes, we all know the story well. Obama slid down that rope from the helicopter with both pearl handled revolvers blazing away....And, I even think that there was some Superman music in the background.....Those pearl handled revolvers must be worth a lot of money....If you can find one, I will pay you $10thou for it....It has to be documented however as being the pearl handled revolver that Obama used to shoot Ben Ladin between the eyes. I am sure that the special forces people on hand would gladly verify that.....as they were standing by watching Obama "get" the evil opponent....
Rburn...try to pay attention...and maybe you could learn something....but, obviously not up until now...
Precious...by the way, I cook my own chicken....No KFC....
I know that Obama has credentials....He carries that ACORN card with him at all times...
Tell you what. You know he didn't and we know he didn't. This is nothing more than childish tripe on your part. He has always laid the credit on all those involved, despite what other outlets say. His speeches were full of credit towards the intel gatherers and the troops that did the job. Never once did he take all the credit.
Maybe if Bush would have finished what he started, Bin Laden would have been killed in 2003. Instead, he starts another war and walks away from Afghanistan claiming Bin laden is no longer of concern. Then, he proceeds to hamstring that effort by sapping troops and vital equipment to his self proclaimed holy war of choice.
I served during that time, as did many of my close personal friends. We were utterly shocked at how the Bush administration ignored our pleas for better armor while we lay dying as a result from the lack of equipment he took from us to go fight his personal crusade. I might still have the lower part of my right leg and 17 of my close battle buddies might still be alive today if he didn't decide that were so unimportant that he could take our equipment from us. We had to share kevlar vests, and were terrified to drive in our unarmored HMMWV's in the IED capitol of the world. The defense contractor were raking in 100's of millions though. Let that sink in a bit.
Then to rub salt into our wounds, he diverts an entire carrier fleet for a photo op to claim mission acomplished. if that mission was to walk away from thousands of troops, then I guess he was right. Funny how we were still there though.
So, next time you want to hate on Obama about Bin Laden, remember this. He resupplied us with the equipment we were begging for for years, and finished what should have been seven years ago. He didn't even have to pretend to land on a carrier to do it either.
Manofsteel...brains are steel too? Least Clark Kent cared for humanity, you must be the bizarro edition.

Excellent comeback!
Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Guess it's OK for a Republican President not to have fought in a war, but not OK if a Democratic President doesn't.........)
Along with becoming president, Obama automatically got a top secret clearance....He must be thanking god that he was not required to have a background check like all others who have that clearance....He never would have passed with all the radical subversive communist/socialist friends and associates (and terrorist bombers) that he had....

Right. They only vetted him AFTER he won. (sarcasm)
Keep talking. You are only reinforcing why Obama is going to win.
