Romney going back on air

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. 

Brian Snyder / Reuters

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...

Sister Simone gave her life to helping the needy.

“Good evening, I’m Sister Simone Campbell, and I’m one of the ‘nuns on the bus.’ So, yes, we have nuns on the bus. And a nun on the podium!

Looking out at you tonight, I feel your presence combined with that of the thousands of caring people we met on our journey. Together, we understand that an immoral budget that hurts already struggling families does not reflect our nation’s values. We are better than that.

This is what we nuns on the bus are all about: We care for the 100 percent, and that will secure the blessings of liberty for our nation. So join us as we nuns and all of us drive for faith, family and fairness.”

Dr. Jill Biden, a highly educated woman, has spent her life giving back.

Jill Biden has a bachelor's degree from the University of Delaware, master's degrees from West Chester University and Villanova University and a doctoral degree from the University of Delaware. She taught English and reading in high schools for 13 years, and also taught adolescents with emotional disabilities at a psychiatric hospital. From 1993 to 2008, she was an English and writing instructor at Delaware Technical & Community College. Since 2009, she has been a professor of English at Northern Virginia Community College and is thought to be the first Second Lady to hold a paying job while her husband is Vice President. She is the founder of the Biden Breast Health Initiative non-profit organization, co-founded the Book Buddies program, and is active in Delaware Boots on the Ground.

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.

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].

Dems twist jobs numbers and GOP Medicare ideas

By Associated Press

On Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention, speakers cherry-picked employment numbers to make President Barack Obama's record on jobs look better than it is and misrepresented Republican proposals on Medicare to cast them in the worst light.

A look at some of the claims from the stage, in speeches preceding former President Bill Clinton's featured address Wednesday night, and how those assertions compare with the facts:

Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, House Democratic leader: "Democrats will preserve and strengthen Medicare. Republicans will end the Medicare guarantee."

Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee: "Paul Ryan wrote the budget that turns Medicare into voucher care and could charge seniors $6,400 more every year, while funding tax breaks for millionaires. Here's their economic plan: if you're a millionaire, you win the lottery. If you're a senior, you lose your Medicare guarantee."

The fact: Both are on shaky ground in declaring that Republicans will end the "Medicare guarantee," and Israel's figure for how much more seniors could pay is outdated. It's actually based on a Congressional Budget Office analysis of the 2011 version of Rep. Paul Ryan's Medicare proposal, different in several important ways from the Republican vice presidential candidate's latest 2012 version.

The latest Ryan plan would offer future retirees the choice of a government program modeled on Medicare or private plans subsidized by government. That's not a proposal to end a Medicare guarantee. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office does, though, estimate future retirees would get less from the government under the Ryan plan than if current law continues. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has endorsed Ryan's Medicare ideas in broad terms while saying the White House agenda will be his own, not his running mate's, if they win.

Ryan's plan only affects people joining the program in 2023 or later. It's expected that private health insurance plans serving seniors would have to guarantee some basic level of benefits, yet to be spelled out. Finally, there's no such thing as a "guaranteed" Medicare benefit for the ages, because Congress can change the laws.

__—

Pelosi: "Under President Obama, we've gone from losing 800,000 jobs a month to adding 4.5 million private sector jobs over the last 29 months."

Steve Westly, former California state controller and chief financial officer: "President Obama understands that future. He knows that this election is about creating jobs today. That's why he's helped create 4.5 million of them, growing the economy from the middle out, not the top down."

The facts: While that figure has become a White House talking point, it's only part of the story. It's a selective number that refers just to private sector jobs created in the last 29 months, from the trough of the recession through July. Governments — especially state and local ones — have continued shedding jobs. And the claim ignores job losses during Obama's term before the employment picture bottomed out.

The economy lost 8.8 million jobs from the time employment peaked in January 2008 until it hit bottom in February 2010. Between then and this July — the most recent month for which there are figures — just 4 million jobs have been recovered. Never since World War II has the economy been so slow to recover all the jobs lost in a downturn.

__—

Pedro Pierlusi, non-voting member of the House from Puerto Rico: "The president is a champion of comprehensive immigration reform and is preventing the deportation of thousands of young men and women who were brought here as kids, have played by the rules and have done nothing wrong. Indeed, they are doing everything right by getting an education or serving in the military. But if Mitt Romney gets into office, he has vowed to overturn that action and veto the Dream Act if it ever passes Congress."

The facts: During the Republican primaries, Romney did pledge to veto the DREAM Act, a bill that would provide a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. But Romney has not said what he would do with Obama's deferred action policy, which allows many young illegal immigrants to avoid deportation for two years and get a work permit. Romney has only said that he would work to create a "civil but resolute" long-term fix to illegal immigration.

__—

Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America: "When Mitt Romney says he'll get rid of Planned Parenthood, and turn the clock back on a century of progress, it has real consequences for the 3 million patients who depended on Planned Parenthood last year. "

The facts: Romney has proposed to eliminate federal money for Planned Parenthood but not get rid of the organization. Planned Parenthood's budget is roughly $1.1 billion, and it receives about $75 million in federal financing, which cannot be used to pay for abortions.

__—

Pelosi: "Democrats passed health reform to allow Americans the freedom to pursue their passion; to make health care a right, not a privilege."

The facts: Access to health insurance is essentially becoming a right under Obama's health care law, although one that most people will pay for, and that right comes with a mandate to obtain coverage. Those who don't will be penalized. It is true that insurers will no longer be able to deny coverage to people who have been sick or charge them exorbitant rates, once the law takes full effect.

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.

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.

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.


Backhouse,

Another thing not being addressed is Ryan's budget cuts to "Medicaid".

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

No wonder Obama can't create any jobs. Being a hypocrite on his scale is a 24/7 job.

While President Barack Obama has attacked Mitt Romney for advising businesses that outsourced jobs, many of the executives on the president's own jobs creation council run or advise companies that import cheaper overseas goods instead of buying American alternatives, U.S. trade records show.

Commerce Department import records reviewed by the Washington Guardian show the companies affiliated with the 23 active and 3 ex-officio members of the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness imported 12,366 shipments from China alone -- totaling more than 20 billion pounds in weight -- during the 18 months since they began advising the White House in January 2011.

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.

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

    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:

    ... here was the voice of a corporate executive who has practiced business the way most Americans—Democrat or Republican—can respect. He built a wildly successful company that is now the country’s fifth largest retailer from the ground up. He paid his people well and offered them very good health insurance, both rarities in retail jobs. His salary (before bonus and stock grants) in his last year as CEO was just $350,000, about a third of the average for companies of his size. And he treats his customers with respect, limiting markups on the bulk goods his store sells to the point that he has frustrated investors who felt he could charge more.

    Sinegal was a credible voice in the rebuttal to the Republicans’ obsession with Obama’s inartful “you didn’t build that” comment.

    “And that’s why I’m here, supporting President Obama, a president making an economy built to last,” Sinegal said in his prepared remarks. “See, in order for companies like Costco to invest, grow, hire and flourish, the conditions have to be right. That requires something from all of us.” And later: “here’s the thing about the Costco story: We did not build our company in a vacuum.”

      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.

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.

        Dems twist jobs numbers and GOP Medicare ideas

        By Associated Press

        On Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention, speakers cherry-picked employment numbers to make President Barack Obama's record on jobs look better than it is and misrepresented Republican proposals on Medicare to cast them in the worst light.

        A look at some of the claims from the stage, in speeches preceding former President Bill Clinton's featured address Wednesday night, and how those assertions compare with the facts:

        Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, House Democratic leader: "Democrats will preserve and strengthen Medicare. Republicans will end the Medicare guarantee."

        Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee: "Paul Ryan wrote the budget that turns Medicare into voucher care and could charge seniors $6,400 more every year, while funding tax breaks for millionaires. Here's their economic plan: if you're a millionaire, you win the lottery. If you're a senior, you lose your Medicare guarantee."

        The fact: Both are on shaky ground in declaring that Republicans will end the "Medicare guarantee," and Israel's figure for how much more seniors could pay is outdated. It's actually based on a Congressional Budget Office analysis of the 2011 version of Rep. Paul Ryan's Medicare proposal, different in several important ways from the Republican vice presidential candidate's latest 2012 version.

        The latest Ryan plan would offer future retirees the choice of a government program modeled on Medicare or private plans subsidized by government. That's not a proposal to end a Medicare guarantee. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office does, though, estimate future retirees would get less from the government under the Ryan plan than if current law continues. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has endorsed Ryan's Medicare ideas in broad terms while saying the White House agenda will be his own, not his running mate's, if they win.

        Ryan's plan only affects people joining the program in 2023 or later. It's expected that private health insurance plans serving seniors would have to guarantee some basic level of benefits, yet to be spelled out. Finally, there's no such thing as a "guaranteed" Medicare benefit for the ages, because Congress can change the laws.

        __—

        Pelosi: "Under President Obama, we've gone from losing 800,000 jobs a month to adding 4.5 million private sector jobs over the last 29 months."

        Steve Westly, former California state controller and chief financial officer: "President Obama understands that future. He knows that this election is about creating jobs today. That's why he's helped create 4.5 million of them, growing the economy from the middle out, not the top down."

        The facts: While that figure has become a White House talking point, it's only part of the story. It's a selective number that refers just to private sector jobs created in the last 29 months, from the trough of the recession through July. Governments — especially state and local ones — have continued shedding jobs. And the claim ignores job losses during Obama's term before the employment picture bottomed out.

        The economy lost 8.8 million jobs from the time employment peaked in January 2008 until it hit bottom in February 2010. Between then and this July — the most recent month for which there are figures — just 4 million jobs have been recovered. Never since World War II has the economy been so slow to recover all the jobs lost in a downturn.

        __—

        Pedro Pierlusi, non-voting member of the House from Puerto Rico: "The president is a champion of comprehensive immigration reform and is preventing the deportation of thousands of young men and women who were brought here as kids, have played by the rules and have done nothing wrong. Indeed, they are doing everything right by getting an education or serving in the military. But if Mitt Romney gets into office, he has vowed to overturn that action and veto the Dream Act if it ever passes Congress."

        The facts: During the Republican primaries, Romney did pledge to veto the DREAM Act, a bill that would provide a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children. But Romney has not said what he would do with Obama's deferred action policy, which allows many young illegal immigrants to avoid deportation for two years and get a work permit. Romney has only said that he would work to create a "civil but resolute" long-term fix to illegal immigration.

        __—

        Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America: "When Mitt Romney says he'll get rid of Planned Parenthood, and turn the clock back on a century of progress, it has real consequences for the 3 million patients who depended on Planned Parenthood last year. "

        The facts: Romney has proposed to eliminate federal money for Planned Parenthood but not get rid of the organization. Planned Parenthood's budget is roughly $1.1 billion, and it receives about $75 million in federal financing, which cannot be used to pay for abortions.

        __—

        Pelosi: "Democrats passed health reform to allow Americans the freedom to pursue their passion; to make health care a right, not a privilege."

        The facts: Access to health insurance is essentially becoming a right under Obama's health care law, although one that most people will pay for, and that right comes with a mandate to obtain coverage. Those who don't will be penalized. It is true that insurers will no longer be able to deny coverage to people who have been sick or charge them exorbitant rates, once the law takes full effect.

        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.”

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... ;)

                    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!!!

                        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...

                        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...

                        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?

                                  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 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!

                                          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.

                                                            If Obama was a crack dealer, would you buy crack from him?

                                                              Where did they go?

                                                                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.

                                                                    #25.5 - Thu Sep 6, 2012 6:56 PM EDT

                                                                    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.

                                                                      #25.6 - Thu Sep 6, 2012 7:09 PM EDT
