In a new TV ad criticizing President Obama, Mitt Romney's campaign appears to be targeting single women voters who may like the president a great deal but are skeptical if he can deliver the type of change that he was talking about. NBC's David Gregory reports.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Mitt Romney’s getting back in the game.
His campaign went dark on television 11 days ago, but today it booked $4.5 million (so far) in TV ads in eight battleground states today, according to NBC News and ad-tracker SMG Delta.
There was a lot of free media out of the convention for Romney, but it was striking that the only advertising run was from the Obama campaign and pro-Romney outside groups.

Romney is also able now to tap into general-election funds, which he wasn’t able to prior to accepting the nomination a week ago.
The states seeing the biggest spending in this buy round are Virginia, Ohio, and Florida with about $1 million each.
Also notably, Romney is spending about $600,000 in this buy on North Carolina, a state most analysts see as beginning to trend toward Romney, but close enough that he may have to spend money here.
The other states he will be up in with this buy – Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada.

Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney talks briefly with reporters after stopping to buy two pizzas at Lui-Lui restaurant in West Lebanon, New Hampshire September 5, 2012.
Ad spending has now reached $573 million for this general-election presidential race. With the help of outside groups, Romney and allies are outspending Obama and his supporters $303 million to $269 million.
President Obama’s campaign is the biggest-single advertiser at $218 million. Romney has spent just $79 million on ads. But the Crossroads groups are making up the difference big time, spending $106 million.
Slideshow: Democratic National Convention
Another noteworthy fact, for all that Restore Our Future did for Romney in primaries and for all the talk of Priorities USA’s fundraising problems, Priorities has actually outspent Restore this election, $45 million to $41 million.
The problem for Democrats is that there are multiple outside groups supporting Romney who are spending substantial amounts of money. In addition to Crossroads and Restore, the Koch Brothers’-backed Americans for Prosperity has spent $47 million, for example.
The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza, Democratic strategist and former top advisor to VP Al Gore, Michael Feldman and President of the Center for American Progress Neera Tanden talk about what President Barack Obama needs to say in his speech to lay out a vision for the next four years.
And once again, there is no advertising for Romney in Wisconsin (despite the pick of Paul Ryan as VP), Michigan, or Pennsylvania.


The campaign may be getting back in the game, when will Willard leave the Mittless Protection Program?
Mr. Marvelous can run but he cannot hide forever!
Has there ever been another candidate in political history who actually LOST a point coming out of their convention? lmao
I'm not sure how effective dumping all this cash down the rabbit hole will be, 99.9% of American's have already tuned out all of the political ads!
Hey, I guess when you have money to burn...
Big shout out to God. Hey Babe, thanks for keeping the likes of Quayle, Agnew, Cheney, and Palin out of the big chair. Jobs not done yet though, Ya still gotta deal with that Ryan fella. Thanks Babe, great shoes and no Babe, you do not look fat in that. I gotta cold one in the fridge for Ya Babe.

Priebus & his RomneyRyan Voucher Lie Brigade have lied to beat all the bands on Medicare, robocaling more lies across the country just like Palin/Mcain in 2008.
President Clinton tells it they way it is: "Here's what really happened....President Obama and the Democrats didn't weaken Medicare, they strengthened it."
Democrats put years on Medicare's life, while ROMNEY/RYAN WOULD END MEDICARE IN 2016.
Boston.com
Tagg Romney, son of Mitt & Ann, refuses to allow a Hospice to be built in his town. It would be bad for the value of his home.
Belmont Hill is, among other things, home to Belmont Country Club, the staggeringly expensive redoubt of rich and famous members, most of whom wield a golf club like Mitt Romney holds a microphone — erratically and sometimes dangerously. Those members have also been beating the stuffing out of each other lately over multimillion-dollar cost overruns and abandoned deadlines on the construction of a huge new clubhouse, but that’s an issue for another day.
Belmont Hill was also home to Mitt and Ann Romney, before they sold their tasteful colonial. It’s currently the neighborhood of Tagg and Jennifer Romney, who built a 14-room, 8,000-square-foot house in 2007 that the town has assessed for $3.9 million.
Local officials received an inquiry this spring from Integra Medical Properties, a Georgia-based company interested in building a residential hospice facility on the town land adjacent to the country club and in the woods deep behind Tagg Romney’s street. It was to be one-story, about 15,000 square feet, set far back from the neighborhood.
Belmont planners seized on it. The town needed the revenue, the site was well buffered, and residents, they thought, might appreciate the service.
Sure they would. Belmont Hill, it ends up, is like Hingham without the harbor. Residents immediately printed up lawn signs by the hundreds. They launched an antihospice website and Facebook page. They raised the specter of hearses and ambulances parading down their streets.
All of which is slightly amusing if you take a drive around Woodfall Road, which borders the site. The quaint and older ranches and split-levels are overshadowed by gargantuan new mansions crammed onto lots about three sizes too small. My personal favorite was a garish, 9,000-square-foot brick structure squeezed onto half an acre and seemingly abandoned before it was completed. Sitting in its scraggly yard is the sign, “Preserve our Neighborhood.”
At an August selectmen’s meeting, according to a video posted by the Belmont Citizen-Herald, Tagg Romney stood and told the board, “I certainly would not have built my house if I thought there was a possibility of a hospice going there. The value of all our homes will decrease dramatically.”
Romney needs to pull a rabbit out of a hat to win this one. He's hoping a hat full of lies will do the trick but I think it's pretty obvious, the die is set. He and Ryan can only run on lies and they're starting to really pile up. The truth is too unbearable for them to face and they will be a laughing stock, an historical punchline.
MEDICAID will be destroyed.....MEDICAID supports those with special needs//handicaps. MEDICAID funds nursing home care.........
The cuts by the RR plan will devastate MEDICAID!

The only thing I want to see from Romney is his tax returns.
Snip
A person leaves a building that houses Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's accounting firm in Franklin, Tenn., Wednesday, Sept. 5, 2012. The Secret Service says is investigating the reported theft of copies Romney's federal tax records during a break-in at PricewaterhouseCoopers. The company said there was no evidence that any Romney tax files were stolen
The Secret Service said it is investigating the reported theft of copies houses Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's federal tax records during a break-in at the office. The company said there was no evidence that any Romney tax files were stolen.
An anonymous letter sent to Romney's accounting firm and political offices in Tennessee and published online sought $1 million in hard-to-trace Internet currency to prevent the disclosure of his tax filings, which have emerged as a key focus during the 2012 presidential race
employees in the GOP office found a small package on Friday with a hand-written address. The package contained a letter and a computer flash drive, she said.
Peter Burr, the chairman of the county's Democratic Party, said he received a version of the letter and a thumb drive on Aug. 27.
An anonymous posting on a file-sharing website said the returns were stolen Aug. 25 from the accounting firm's office. After "all available 1040 tax forms for Romney were copied," the posting said, flash drives containing encrypted copies of his pre-2010 tax records were sent to the firm and to Republican and Democratic party offices.
The group threatened to [divulge the tax files by late September unless it was paid $1 million].

Feisty---if I were 60 days away from the election that I had been aiming for for at least 6 years, if not longer, I can't imagine that I would take an hour off, let alone the better part of a week. I would want to travel to every city I could and meet with every person I could to get my positions and views known to everyone. I would want to know that I had done every thing in my power to achieve my goal. I just don't get Mitt's behavior this week. And don't tell me it is debate preparation; that doesn't fly.
IndependantinCali
Beg all you want but it's not going to happen fella, you'll have to use your own fist. Remember to ask for forgiveness after.
Here we go again with Feisty and Navy railing against collapse cowards.
Don't you 2 ever get tired of being hypocrites?
Pat, is taggs' house where Willard says he lived in the basement.
He and Queen Ann do a lot of basement dwelling.....she mentioned another basement that they lived in during her speech last week!
Oh, they are liars.....nevermind!
buckle up indeed! good morning Feisty.
since the rr troop "will not beholden to the fact checkers"
After last night, countering Mitt's lies will be like shooting fish in a barrel.
And we still haven't gotten to the main event.
Hey Wishbone (WCA) --
I was trying to tell you on the previous thread that I wasn't "massaging" any numbers.
In fact, I double-sourced them yesterday at First Thoughts for Kirk.
You should go look those numbers up.
The truth would do you good.
Because heaven only knows that the lies you've been feeding off haven't made you any smarter or given you anything substantive to say.
Says the guy who was pissing himself over getting collapsed yesterday! lmfao!
PS: Numbnuts - we're talking about deleting comments not collasping!
Take a deep breath and least try to stay current!

don't you get tired of defending the same policy that got us into this mess. I'll assume not.

They also shop in the basement at Costco ... it's where they bundle the unsold shirts.

Tom, I believe he just pulled a rabbit out the hat. I suspect he paid someone to steal his tax returns. After the DNC how much attention will the media give the supposedly stolen tax records up for a $million ransom on a flash drive?
Come on, Americans are not stupid. MYTH will stoop to any level to LIE to the American people in hopes of getting a path to the White House.
Release the documents anonymous forget about the ransom. MYTH is and his Karl Rove cronies are hold US hostage

that's why he isnt defending Obama. Hey let me know when Obama decides to be president. I dont know why you lefties think being pres is pretty speeches, photo ops and vacations. The good goes with the bad and Bush is long gone. Obama OWNS the Economy, the unemployment, the stagnant growth, the increasing debt (Bush started Obama accelerated).
I had forgotten what a crush you have on me... lol
It's ALL Feisty with you 24/7!

Oh, and, you're dismissed!
Given your pathological penchant for lying, Caesar, the irony is that you could make that statement without laughing out loud.
Feisty - it's interesting that more people are tuning in to the Democratic convention than the Republican. It's about 2 -2.5 million more. I think everyone is hoping that next election they will cut the conventions to one day and just get it done. But, more watching our guys!

I heard a person call in on a local talk radio show saying Mike Huckleberry is robo calling saying in an angry voice"OBAMA is a TRAITOR." This was upsetting to him because his kid could have answered the phone. Mike Huckleberry is a big fat lying ass pig supporting Todd Akin. I noticed the RNC was very boring until Huckleberry Hound started speaking his venom.

Ryan’s main cut isn’t to health care for old people. It’s to health care for poor people.

Ratings are out for the Clinton speech (which I admit was great)... 0.9 rating was all he got. too bad, the guy is a great orator!
I just got through trying to watch FOX News and try to give it the benefit of the doubt when it comes to"Fair and Balanced!" The announcers all get in their right wing opinions and on panels where there are a variety of views there is usually 3-1 or 4-1 right wingers to common sense. Then the righties call Obama, the "holy one" or "God!" Real "Fair and Balanced" It is the new Nazi Network!
Come on Folks on the right you really don't believe the words, "Fair and Balanced" do you?
Two questions here un-chic chick - what lies, and who cares who had the bigger viewer audience?
No wonder Obama can't create any jobs. Being a hypocrite on his scale is a 24/7 job.
I wish the loons would knock it off with the fantasy 4.5 million new jobs. The Dept of Labor reports a net increase of 300,000 jobs since the messiah first parted the doors of the White House.
Cute, Clwyd tell me tough guy who called who Joseph Goebbels? But i would hardly consider Fox News a State Run outlet. DOH
Ann Romney tried to make herself and Mitt seem just like regular people, saying in an interview that Mitt was wearing a shirt she bought him at Costco.
Nice try, Ann. But the former CEO and co-founder of Costco, Jim Sinegal, supports Obama! He spoke on behalf of the President's re-election at the DNC:
Not every CEO is a vulture capitalist! We need more business leaders like Jim Sinegal!
Watching this ad and realizing this woman is a GOP worker since Jan'12 in the Romney campaign, I have to say these guys must really be desperate and with so much money they're throwing it and everything and anything to see what'll stick.
Being so desperate, they are so stupid not to realize everything can be fact checked.....oh I forgot, they don't do fact checking. Arrogant and stupid people.
Yawn - another RWNJ detailing for us the position he would assume if he could only get a date with Feisty. Someone needs to let Indy know there are websites dedicated specifically to his fetish, and it isn't MSNBC.
Yes we do. Sinegal is an example of capitalism at work for the greater good of its owner, its employees, its customers, and society at large, unlike his Wal-Mart counter part that burdens society by paying workers low wages, minimum or sub-standard health care, and what amounts to non-existent pensions.
Hey i come from Wisconsin and luckily it wasn't the Fox Valley where Joe McCarthy called everyone a communist. the republicans have been refining their skills and you have shown you fall for it hook line and sinker! Or is it stinker?
Caesar, I asked a fair question abut "Fair and Balanced" on FOX. Show how intelligent you are by answering it?
Romney is a classic example of what is wrong with America. Trickle down economics gave guys like him big tax cuts which increased their economic clout. They seemed to use a lot of this money to break up profitable companies to make a buck. They exported jobs to recycled American factories located in Asia. Meanwhile, the middle class struggled waiting for all those promised jobs that were supposed to trickle down. Wage growth was stagnant so they took advantage of lower interest rates and refinanced their homes taking cash out of their home equity to purchase goods which helped the economy prosper and grow, which further added to the wealth of rich guys who now made even more money on the goods they sold as they loaned the middle class increasing sums of money at interest (which further enriched them)to fuel the consumer spending. 10% of national income went to the wealthiest 1% in 1980. By 2010, the top 1% had income approaching 24% which interestingly was what the top 1% earned as share of national income in 1929. This is not a coincidence, but a root cause of both the Great Depression and the Great Recession of 2008-2009.
Romney's solution to our slow growth is more tax cuts for the rich. This will not make anything better unless you happen to be a rich guy, who can spend millions to get Romney elected and get a good return on his investment. Romney's tax cuts for the rich is nothing more than a thinly disguised bribe for them to contribute to his campaign and to the Super Pacs that support him. Trickle down only works for the rich, not the middle class. The past 30 years proves it.
The difference between Republicans and Democrats.
Republicans: I've got mine, you get yours.
Democrats: I got mine by hard work along with a lot of help from others. If you are willing to work hard, we will help you get yours just like others helped us.

Obama/Biden 2012
shake and all you delusional democrats; please wake up. Mitt and Paul want to downsize government, without a new plan for Medicare guess what folks it goes BANKRUPT; so either try to save it or watch it go down the toliet. I guess you guys would like it to go down the toliet considering you would do nothing to help it survive. Also Bill Clinton rode a surplus 'BECAUSE OF REAGAN's TAX POLICIES ON THE RICH' I guess when the government takes less, "omg" theres more to go around. Until we make the United States of America more attractive to big business, Big Business a.k.a 'JOBS' will continue to find more lucrative deals elsewhere.
Does anyone else feel disgusted?
That's all the ads I see here, and they're filled with lie after lie.
I just hope the Koch Brothers will wake up and wonder why they flushed all that money dopwn the crapper for a lost cause. Then again, this is chump change for them.
I'm sure not all the money is theirs. The donors to that PAC see Romney as a business investment, as his plan for lowering taxes (especially on the rich) and getting rid of regulations will pay dividends for them.
The Koch Bros will claim it as a business expense....and depreciate it.....
Mythe was probably practicing his concession speech....
GNOP can't stand facts...THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
C'mon Mythe show us the 1040's....What ARE YOU hiding@??
The Koch boys are spending 400 million to buy the United States. Oh well, Willard will have to give them a refund, or most likely swim with the fishes on November 7, 2012.
i feel the same about a guy that has claimed he needs to raise a billion to get re-elected.
All this campaign spending must be all the money that the 0.1% saves every year as a result of the Bush tax cuts ;)
I Love it.
Now Mitt Romney can Explain to all Americans why he's been labeled
a known LIAR, an admitted TAX-CHEAT, and a likely FELON who only AVOIDED those FELONY CHARGES by
"RETIRING RETROACTIVELY" from BAIN CAPITAL when legal papers clearly showed Romney was still the CEO.
I'm sorry, on What PLANET can anyone EXCEPT a MITT ROMNEY, "RETIRE RETROACTIVELY" and "Get away with it"?
Can you and I and all you UNDECIDED Voters, after getting our PENSION FUNDS Stolen by MITT ROMNEY for his SWISS BANK ACCOUNTS and his phony CAYMAN ISLAND shell-companies, can we "RETIRE RETROACTIVELY" to get our Stolen PENSION FUNDS back?
Well, can we?
Vote a straight Democratic ticket, come this November 2012.

Hey what happened to the 1 billion in campaign funds that President Obama promised he would raise in this campaign?
Would that be another promised broken added to his record?
Was that the Obama girl on the Ad? If it was not it was a close resemblance.
Concern Citizen - Was that the Obama girl on the ad?
Talking about women for Obama, Concern did you happen to see Christina last night at the DNC? Despite her heritage she is turning her back on Rubio and his GOP buddies. Although I haven't seen her show lately, believe if is off of Univision nowadays, nice to have the Spanish language version of Oprah on your side.
_______
Midway through the evening, journalist, actress, and talk show host Cristina Saralegui addressed the crowd, telling the story of her parents’ journey fleeing the Castro regime in Cuba, to her rise as host of El Show de Cristina (The Cristina Show) on Univisión, which reaches 100 million viewers in 40 countries.
“For me, the American promise isn’t just an idea or a theory—it’s my life story. I want to pass that promise on to my grandchildren, Domenic and Cristina Maria. I want them to grow up in the kind of country I did. That’s what this election is about,” she said.
During her speech, Saralegui also touted President Barack Obama’s record on immigration and his support for the Latino community, “We need to move forward. Adelante! We need to re-elect our President Obama. Our president fights for us every day,” she said. “He is on our side. And he knows we still have work to do.” She also warned the crowd that Mitt Romney’s plan would, “put the American dream further out of reach.”
“So I’m asking toda mi gente—all of my people—to join me. Many of us come from countries where votes aren’t counted properly or are not counted at all. Here, we Latinos have a powerful voice, but only if we use it.”
All 2.8 does is regurgitate already debunked lies from the left loons. Why you even bothered to post it and then follow up with a "look at me make an idiot out of myself" post is stupefying.
...and remember, the Romney/Ryan Campaign will not be dictated to by fact-checkers.
...so Lord knows what these guys are going to say.
Da Noid - it's frightening that the GOP hopes to - again - buy the White House. The likes of the Koch Bros. and the money coming in from Saudi Arabia to back Mitts should frighten any true American. But, as we know, the Republican party is all about winning - not about the good of the country. They clearly have a "For Sale" sign on our country and aren't saddened by it.

I can save you some time Paul "he is rich, and guess what even at 14% for one year he has probably paid more in taxes then you will make in your entire life"
Willard, you might as well siphon some of that money to one of your Swiss bank accounts. You failed in that joke of a convention in Tampa to make your case, you did not get a bounce or take a lead following your convention. The last two nights showed what a real convention looks like. Tonight, Obama will be like Mariano Rivera or Trevor Hoffman in their primes entering the game in the 9th inning with a 3 run lead. If you are a fan of the other team, you may as well leave the stadium now to avoid the traffic because the game is over. Don't let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you on your way to the ash heap of history Willard!
The Republican convention was a flop.
Amy more people watched the Cowboys game than the democratic convention last night
That's not what the ratings say, at least for the second half, Bill Clinton beat the Cowboys-Giants game.
Since the Republik Party organization no longer exists in Nevada (thank you Ron Paul!), just a bunch of feuding factions, Gov. Romney will have to send his own people and money to Nevada if he wants to win it.
So Romney will be back on air,which part of his body will this air be coming from. I think I smell a-----rat.
It will be sooooo good to get somebody with some intelligence, integrity and class back in the white house. I can't believe how many ignorant people there are in this country supporting Obozo after what he has done and all the lies he has told you. Thank god people are finally coming around and realizing he is in way way over his head. I had lunch yesterday at a popular restaurant and it was amazing how many different tables, I counted at least five where the conversation was about how Obama is destroying the country. I am a commercial pilot and fly to all parts of the country and the story is the same at each location. I never hear any conservation on how great Obozo is just what a loser he is. I voted for the idiot in 2008 and have counted lie after lie he has told us. We are not crazy about Romney but most of the people are like me and would vote for a pile of dogsh*t before voting for Obama again. I'm just wondering how they are going to get that stink out of the white house after he is gone.
What is really funny is that you think you'd know intelligence, integrity and class when you use 2nd grade slurs to identify the President. I think we all know who the real idiot is and it's not Obama... ;)
Clinton hit the nail on the head- The amount of hatred for this President.--Pile of dog *mitt- you mean ?
miss guided fool
Reading a diatribe like this leads one to understand that you don't have the intelligence to fly a kite not to mention a commercial airliner...smh
Enjoy the dog s@@@!! dude. Name calling will not get Mittens his votes. There's no reason to make him any richer and certainly don't want him in this woman's life telling her how to live, eat, and die. Truth will prevail ! OBAMA-BIDEN 2012
if truth prevails then obama and certainly biden will not
Oh Boy !! Mitty is back....and nobody even noticed he was gone !!!!
you guys are really reaching now...ha ha ha...It's not our fault ....you picked this empty suit.
I also felt Willard was a robot. The Koch boys must have re-called him for a new chip implant. I lost track, but I think this Willard is version 5.0
With Willard Romney hiding so much about his life and dealings, many people are left to wonder what Willard is covering up. Perhaps a sinister or criminal activity. Let's keep the investigation going on Willard Romney, and expose him for what he is, A LYING, TAX CHEATING, OUTSOURCING TRAITOR TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!
Job1, Get a job. You seem to be here 24/7. And Hussein is the traitor.
Joe Thomas-6624551, please remember, Job1 can't get a job...""whispering" no one is hiring, because, "the Dems can't fix the deficit!" "everyone is scared of this Marxist regime"
I'm excited and getting ready to say that in 2013, too! Yippeee!
I live in a very Republican neighborhood, and last night during Bubba's speech I thought I heard chanting or something outside. When I stepped out to see what it was, I realized it was the sound of about 50 teabaggers covering their ears and yelling LA LA LA LA LA LA ........but then I guess they are a CULT.....so...
Oh yes, the GOP is now a big time cult.
Those yellling "LA LA LA LA" last night were Giants fans, with a SuperBowl hangover, after the Cowboys beat them in New York.
Despite moonbat delusions from the last few nights, a bunch of speeches cant spin away a massively failed economy...
Romney/Ryan 2012.
The football game must be the reason that the Clinton speech only received 0.9 on the ratings. I guess most people don't really care what Clinton says.
Didn't he lose his license to practice law? Maybe because he perjured himself in the Supreme Court?
Was that the DNC or a Southern Baptist Church revival?
LOL, a Southern Baptist church that boos GOD? That would be strange...
It was a silent telecast of the Oprah Winfrey Show...and..all attendees are going home with a bucket of Chicken
Oh yes, the GOP is now a big time cult.
Back on the air?!? Ooo! Ooo! Is he going to lie some more? What a dishonest windbag...
Clinton caught Romney and Ryan in a bunch of not fact checked LIES
It was nice when he was gone, can't wait till Obama wins mittens will disappear again. Actually I feel sorry for him having to do what his handlers want will make a mockery of him.
u my enemy are a lowlife scumbag that makes a case for pro choice
Romney can release ads until he craps video for all I care. I'll never vote for him.
So Mitt is going back on air huh? Funny, after Clinton's speech last night I would have thought he would be on Oxygen!!!
Cowboys and Giants opened last night. No one but the Perverted Party hardcore faithful heard ol' Lyin' Bill lyin' to the loons. And there were plenty of them.

"Cowboys and Giants opened last night. No one but the Perverted Party hardcore faithful heard ol' Lyin' Bill lyin' to the loons. And there were plenty of them."
Really....I'm definitely not a fan of Obama....and I am a proud Republican, not the new RWNJ's as they are called these days... but a true Republican, back when they actually stood for something other than their back pockets. And I will tell you....I did watch the DNC as I have for its entirety and will again watch it tonight. While there are plenty of spins coming from the platform, and I will add BOTH platforms...because there was quite a bit spun up last week...:P What I didn't hear was much spin from Ol' Slick Willy. That man was a true leader, and even as a Republican I was proud to call him my president while he was in office. I just wish that the current POTUS was even half the leader Ol' Willy Bill was.
You're about as Republican as ol' Lyin' Bill. Who sucked at being a leader. Newt Gingrich bent him over the desk like ol' pervert bent Monica and forced him to the ways of conservatism. It was the best reamin' Bill ever got. Just look, it's got lefties lying about being on the right so they can pretend Bill was something he wasn't.
You must fall into that other category of Republicans.....it's ok, with any luck your ideas of our party will be a fleeting flash in the pan, cause if not, I will be a reformed Democrat or Independent real soon! You nut cases are getting to far sideways for the likes of me. And let it be known....as I have stated on many occasions....I don't care for the choices that have been put up by either of the parties this cycle, I fear we are dragging the bottom guys and gals! The current POTUS just doesn't have the caliber of leadership that we need to get out of this economy, and Lord knows Mittens will just muddle things up while trying to fill his pockets with the spoils.....Like the Joker said to Batman...."what this town needs is an enema,".........cause they are all full of Sh*t!
@JustanotherVeteran-- at least you are watching the convention-- Mitten's stated he's NOT watching and won't watch tonight- No President can get us out of the MESS the GOP got us into 12 years back - in just 4 years... Remember Clinton gave Bush 4 surpluses-- SHOW ME THE MONEY... GRAND OL' PARTY INDEED...
"clinton gave bush four surpluses"
liberals are a hoot with their know nothing comments
Romney came out of hiding???? Really how much does it take to prepare him for the debate??? Guess they have to have him memorize every single little line because we all have seen what a buffoon Romney is when he has to "wing it".
Is he as big a buffoon as the poser-in-chief?
Con: Since President Obama is not a buffoon, can't answer that. But Romney's hanlders have to keep close rein on him and Anne....not allowed to talk off script because they show their true feelings about "you people".
Obama is a buffoon as are the sycophants who think he's not.
Romney hiding? What of Obama? Attempting to hide the fact he as popular as a newborn among the feminists of the Democratic Party.
Chance of rain at time of Obama's speech.....0%
It does occur to just about everyone that Obama is transparent......and lacking.
The national weather service indicates a 30% chance of scattered thunderstorms for Charlotte, NC for this afternoon, tonight AND tomorrow. But, you knew that:
Actually, this is the updated weather report for Charlotte. Notice they don't support your claim as well as mine.

Try the National Weather Service, Sir. Oh I forget, Republicans don't believe in using government services. My bad!!!
What a maroon.
That's the Weather Channel.
Is it sinking in?

It's still early.
That ad is awful. Another imaginary conversation with a chair??? And could they have found a worse actress???

typical LILO
If Willard was a used car salesman would you ever buy a car from him?
Obama/Biden 2012!
If Obama was a crack dealer, would you buy crack from him?
CR,
"There they go again"..
Where did they go?
CR,
Down the path of pointless, classless, divisiveness.
CR you are the problem..
Not I my friend. And not the Republicans.
It was Obama who actually used the term "enemies" to describe fellow Americans who disagree poitically with him.
It is Obama who insulted the majority of our nation by saying he didn't need a portion of their voting block.
It is Obama who has actually set up "African-Americans for Obama", "Latinos for Obama", "Gays for Obama"," Illegals for Obama"
It is Obama who stokes the flames of class warfare and pitting American vs American and vilifying success
It is Obama who attacks religious liberties
It is Obama who uses the Dept of Injustice as a weapon to punish those who dare to call into question his tactics
It is Obama who lies and then pretends he doesn't.
Perhaps I simply attempt to point his faults out satirically and you fail to get it.
One more thing
No Republican delegates were interviewed and actually said, "I would like to kill Obama" like New York loon delegate Julia Rodriguez did. Here's the quote:
“He will destroy this country completely, she said. “Romney will destroy his country…if I see him I would like to kill him.”
Now if that is not pointless, classless, divisiveness; I don't know what is. And she gets it from Obama.
Funny that you never pointed any of that out. I guess you really just don't get it.
Question for our Republican friends.
I was just wondering.. should Sperm by allowed Voting rights?
