harley chic Are you guys on drugs?

I just want ten dollars worth of your drugs. By your posts it reads like your doing some good acid. Zombie troll!

Hey Ben, you mad? You're more incoherent than usual.

CA,

Of course !

I only show where the Electoral Votes are aligning as of today.

Like any poll it is a snapshot in time whereas the final results won’t happen until after Election Day.

Assuming Harley's comments were not meant as satire, then I have to conclude that this is the early signs of either overdose or that shakes from withdrawal. I've been reading reader posts and listening to the likes of Hannity for two days now and have come to the conclusion that they know they are down by six with less than 30 seconds on the clock. They will foul to stop the clock. They will fake an injury. They will put six players on the court for a full court press. They've pulled the goalie. But worst - in their pursuit of convincing half the voters that the earth is flat - they have called out a fleet of bulldozers to fill in the oceans. (OK bad analogy - but the point is that the GOP now lives and operates in an alternative universe. Reason is pointless. Whatever grain of truth they may have in their arguments is buried so deep in their nonsense, that even they don't know where the facts are).

Let's make sure one more time that everyone interested gets to see this --

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/159873#.UFIQyrKPWWg

The warnings supposedly given by Israel prior to the attacks DID NOT involve Libya, and DID NOT involve September 11.

They were about possible attacks on the US and Israeli embassies in Cairo.

And Israelis were specifically warned to be careful traveling the weekend BEFORE September 11.

So, righties, tell me again what the President, who reads all his daily briefings, supposedly missed.

And tell me again why attendance at those briefings was so important, given that George W. Bush dismissed the warnings that were literally put in his face. They had to be put in his face because he didn't want to have to read so much, and not because he wanted to ask questions about him.

When the critical briefing did come, Bush brushed the briefer off and told him, "Okay, you've covered your a$$. He then went back to clearing brush. So tell me again how is this is morally superior to the President reading his daily briefings and then going back to his other scheduled activities?

NOT AGAIN?

BACK AGAIN!!!!

Didn't Romney screw up enough on Russia ("the geopolitical focus"", China's Chen, England, Israel and this rest of his foreign trip?

And now blaming the President for the Cairo diplomatic statement - that was released SIX HOURS before the attack.

And BEFORE the Ambassador, 3 staffers and 10 Libyans who were protecting them DIED??

HE's STILL AT IT?

Shaddup Romney.

Harley Chic, I afraid that you are wrong on the numbers. Willard is losing big time, and the debates should finish him off.

The newest research from Nate has it as the NOV 6 factors:

“Obama chance of winning 80.8% Romney 19.2%”

“Projected Winner Obama 315.4”

“Projected Loser Romney 222.6”

Popular Vote:

Obama 51.5% Romney 47.5%

However, if the election was being voted in “Now Cast” Today:

Totals

“Obama chance of winning 91.6% Romney 8.4%”

“Projected Winner Obama 319.0”

“Projected Loser Romney 219.0”

Popular Vote:

Obama 51.2% Romney 47.8%

Romney continued. "And I intend to be a President that provides the leadership that America respects and will keep us admired throughout the world.”

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Obama/Biden 2012

The latest Fox News poll gives the President a 5 percent lead.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/09/12/fox-news-poll-obama-has-lead-over-romney-in-post-convention-poll/

Who says they're not fair and balanced?

Elliot -

Are you really reduced to copying/pasting distortions from from Breitbart? Did you read through what you copied, or did you think it just sounded good?

The complete statement from the US Embassy in Egypt:

The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others

I challenge anyone to show me where the apology is in that statement. I see condemnation of "hate speech", a statement of our respect for other religions, and an acknowledgement of the right of free speech. The statement was issued by the US Embassy BEFORE the attacks in an effort to AVOID violence.

Mitt Romney was DEAD WRONG in his statement:

I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi.

It's disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks. - Mitt Romney (emphasis added)

So for breitbart.com to say that Romney did not know an American had died is a flat-out lie - Romney explicitly mentions it in his statement!

Romney is effectively the leader of the free world today, the man whose principled reaction to events expressed what ought to be--and used to be--the minimum Americans expect of their president.

You wish. We have one President - Barack Obama. Romney is neither qualified nor competent to be the "leader of the free world" as demonstrated by his political posturing over the deaths of American citizens.

A principled reacton would have been to condemn the actions of the terrorists and ensure everyone that America stands united in their quest for justice. A principled reaction would have been to condemn and denounce the "hate speech" contained in the anti-Muslim film. A principled reaction would have been to wait for all the facts before you made a statement.

It is disgustingly obvious that Romney and his followers have chosen to place their political party ahead of their country, even while American lives are still at risk.

Sirie- Hindsight is always 20/20. I hope you place equal blame on GW Bush and Ronald Reagan for their respective failures to prevent 9/11 and the Beirut Embassy bombing. GW Bush was on vacation 69 days prior to 9/11 - how many security briefings did he miss or ignore?

Those truly responsible are the terrorist who attacked our embassy. Our focus should be on bringing them to justice, not scoring political points.

Apologize Mitt and show some BALLS.

Ben-636050

Obama will drag this country into hell.

Been to both Heaven and Hell and Hell is a helluva much more fun place thank heavens. Heaven is just a bunch of dullards picking posies sand singing campfire songs.

No Ben, you're my favorite turd. Sounds like you're all feared up and rearin' to go!!

Are you guys on drugs?

If you're buying look down the street.

Typical Mitt Romney--the guy never met a position on an issue he wasn't for, until he was against it.

You can always tell when things are going well for President Obama by the over-the-top spin coming from the right. You get dizzy reading this stuff.

Seriously, you have to question the mentality of those like Ben who won't be happy unless the US bombs Egypt and Libya to smithereens--it's the Bush/Cheney mentality. I would remind Ben and the other naybobbers that Mitt Romney said nothing about what he would do if he were president, now did he? He just stood on the sidelines taking pot shots, politicizing the deaths of Americans and without getting his facts straight--in other words, Mitt lied about this just as he lies about everything else.

ZMan2012 blah, blah, blah

You're not a Democrat so why lie?

Go to gallup, Obama is now up 7 on Romney.

The only one declining after the conventions is Romney, in fact, the wheels have come off the bus.

If you don't understand what I am saying, then you are the most ignorant person on the planet.

LOL :D

But you're the person who wrote that drivel. :D

What's amusing is how the GOP is now trying to distance themselves from the bullsh!t their presidential nominee spews.

I fully expect Mitt to be thrown under the bus after he loses the election in November. Which he actually seems to be trying to do. :D Hell some in the GOP are opening condemning him. Nice to see there's still some honest members in the GOP. There's still hope for them after all.

CA - we meet again ... just to let you know ... I'm thrilled with Fox today!!!

Daily Gallup shows Obama's lead widening.

The fat lady is about to sing.

So the idiot found out that even Republicans are beginning to catch on to the fact Mitt isn't all that bright? Now he has to soft shoe it and see if he can find his way out of the hole he just keeps digging deeper and deeper.

And, this is the BEST the GOP has???? Pathetic!

Obama/Biden 2012

The fat lady is about to sing.

Honestly I still have faith in the American people's willingness to f**k themselves over so I won't be crowing victory quite yet.

Are you talking about the same Gallup that had this in 2010 before a massive a$$ whippin'?

And that makes Romney electable? I think you need to read up on what a non sequitur is. You surely have no clue. :) But then you're actually just trying to throw sh!t at the wall hoping to make something stick so be my guest. :D

Ben Dover, you're nothing if not entertaining. :D You go girl! :)

the left of castro crowd.

I asked the simple question/stated an observation this morning about media bias but the limited programming from Progressives wouldnt allow a response. "Fox bad. grunt, moan"

Seriously. Did you think I wasn't kidding?

For Fox to say 5, it means that the REAL differential is probably more like 10 points.

So I guess I get to keep my standing in the "left of castro" crowd.

So the idiot found out that even Republicans are beginning to catch on to the fact Mitt isn't all that bright?

Romney doesn't have many friends in the GOP mainly because of how dirty the campaign for the nomination was. He pissed on a lot of shoes by telling lies about the field of hopefuls. It's coming back to haunt him in support within his own party. Not many want to stick their necks out for someone they hate even if he happens to be their nominee.

My Rembrandt Homer is better than your Homer Q22. Stands to reason. :)

Romney said. "We want real change. I’m going to bring real change and get America working again.”

When Rmoney says he is going to change, he ain't Ryan! He will change his positions over and over, and America will get working on trying to figure out where he stands. Over there. No, over here. Where'd he go? Oh, he's back over there, changing again! LOL. What an idiot. He has already toasted his own chances, and we have 54 days left for him to further screw himself over.

Unpresidential ..... ya think?????!!!

....both reliable conventional-wisdom-peddlers and even some right-wing analysts said that Romney had made a serious mistake by distorting the timeline of the Egyptian embassy's response to the protests, and by making such a harsh political attack on the White House.

As Wednesday wore on, pundits continued reacting with astonishment at Romney's response. Speaking to Rachel Maddow, NBC's Andrea Mitchell said that "It was one of those moments where the character and the policy were both revealed." She speculated that Romney may have been looking to satisfy some of the conservative commentators who have been openly attacking his campaign strategy.

"I think they were looking for an opportunity," she said. "...This is a serious business. This is not the stuff of combative political press releases. I can't recall, Rachel, and I don't think you can, another time when the United States was under fire, literally, where a presidential candidate in either party put out a press release.

Peggy Noonan, who made waves with her criticism of Romney on Fox News, had an even more withering assessment for her own Wall Street Journal.

"Romney looked weak today," she said. "At one point, he had a certain slight grimace on his face when he was taking tough questions from the reporters, and I thought, 'He looks like Richard Nixon.'"

On Thursday morning, Joe Scarborough said he had been "absolutely flabbergasted" by Romney's response.

Even Bill O'Reilly called Romney out, though very briefly. Playing footage of Romney criticizing the Egyptian embassy for issuing a statement that was "akin to apology."

"I'm not sure the Governor is correct on that," O'Reilly said. "The embassy was trying to head off the violence. Being conciliatory in that kind of a situation seems logical."

Newspaper editorial boards across the country blasted Romney's response as well. The Washington Post called it "a discredit to his campaign" and the Los Angeles Times said it was an "outrageous exercise in opportunism." The Boston Globe labeled it "offensive on many other levels" beyond the timing of his remarks.

The fact-checking brigades also had their knives out for Romney. The Associated Press, for instance, said he had "seriously mischaracterized what had happened in a statement accusing President Barack Obama of "disgraceful" handling of violence there and at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo."

Jeff -- Romney has nothing to apologize for on either day.

Tell the GOP that. They think so too. :D

After he loses in November and the GOP blames his comments as one reason, along with the fact he's not discussing details, talking about the economy and a myriad of other f**kups too that is. :)

You are at least content with your denial. I grant you that. :D

Romney spends so much time walking back his own remarks that he should be fitted with a rear-view mirror.

I challenged any of our friends on the right yesterday to draft the statement that the Cairo embassy should have issued.

No takers.

sure if that makes you proud. I prefer people more moderate but hey if you want to be a commie thats fine. Freedom of speech and all.

Whatever floats your boat.

...can everybody say "Manifest Destiny..." ? It would appear that Mr. Romney feels that what is good for the USA is better for the rest of the world. Honestly...talk about stuck in the past! All this sabre rattling is disgusting! Why is it the party (TPGOP) of "we believe in the sanctity of life" so stuck on constant war? It appears they only believe in the sanctity of life for the unborn. Everyone else--not so much.

"Force always attracts men of low morality, and I believe it to be an invariable rule that
tyrants of genius are succeeded by scoundrels."
As long as armies exist, any serious conflict will lead to war. It is characteristic of the military mentality that non-human factors are held essential, while the human being, his desires and thoughts, are considered as unimportant and secondary. You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war. To concentrate on the problems and aspirations which all thinking men share creates a sense of comradeship that is eventually bound to reunite scholars and artists of all nations." Albert Einstein

Romney needs some strong deodorant. The smell of GOP flop sweat has permeated his entire campaign.

The GOP puppet masters knew from the start it was going to go this way. None of their primary candidates were worth a used kleenex. Nobody in the Republican party with an ounce of sense was willing to go up against President Obama. They're lying in wait until 2016.

Well, GOPers, it might just be too late to make a comeback in four years. With all the anti-American cr*p the GOP has pulled so far-- and we still have a full 54 days to go until the election-- the GOP might have already succeeded in committing political suicide on a scale previously known only to lemmings.

Sad to see it happen, actually. We need two opposing parties in America. Go on now, GOP, go spend 40 years in the desert and come back real, come back with a heart, come back with a brain. Leave Romney's bones out in the salt flats for the buzzards.

You can leave Ryan out there too.

As far as your statement that "we weren't prepared" goes, who is "we" you and your evil twin?

That's because they're all about bluster. If Romney were inside the embassy in Cairo with an angry mob outside trying to get in and tear him apart, I'd love to see how tough he'd be talking. He'd fold faster than a house of cards in a hurricane.

Romney is an idiot. All who belive in god should be praying he never gets any closer to the White House than on his yacht anchored in Chesapeake Bay. What a waste of air that man is!

Q22: President Obama is correct about Egypt. Its new president is part of the Muslim Brotherhood and has said ,"Jerusalem shall be our capital," meaning he intends that muslims will dispossess Israel. Obama's comment went further, as follows:

Obama said in an interview with the Spanish-language network Telemundo that Egypt is a ‘‘new government that is trying to find its way.’’ And he warned that if the Egyptian government takes actions showing ‘‘they’re not taking responsibility,’’ then it would ‘‘be a real big problem.’’

Israel's ambassador said today Obama's assessment was "realistic." You can find that clip in video here on nbc.com.

Obama/Biden and a democratic Congress in November--moving forward

THis is how desperate the GOP is getting these days. The current odds of Obama winning in November are 80.8% to Romney's 19.2%. At this point Romney has to carry ALL of eight states --- Florida, Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, Colorado, Wisconsin, Virginia, and Iowa to have even a mathematical chance of winning. Currently he is only favored in North Carolina and even that state has dropped by over 15% in the last two weeks.

Incidentally, in 2008 McCain led in aggregated polls for only 4 days in the entire campaign. (The four days after he selected Palin.) But after the 9/15/08 Lehman Bros debacle his campaign collapsed and it quickly became mathematically improbable for him to win. I find it interesting that Romney has managed to lead for exactly zero days and his campaign is collapsing similarly after his 9/12/12 debacle. He is doing significantly worse than McCain/Palin. Few pundits thought that was even possible.

But there is a hard core 25% who will vote against Obama even if it means voting for a three-legged dog. And Romney is pretty much that three-legged dog ---- a non-Christian, a person who inherited wealth, a tax cheat and a draft dodger. Just what the GOP loves the most!

But Romney, unlike McCain is methodically destroying the Republican brand. With changing demographics and a political landscape that is becoming more and more hostile to old white male racist Republicans this is likely the last election in which the GOP will be considered viable for national office. About the only thing left for Romney to do is to appear in full Grand Dragon KKK regalia.

Love it or hate that is the reality and you all know it, it is the way you read this crap as well. Get over it, try to give us readers somethng to think about instead of your hate.

Shady, I think it is a typo, Rommey's behind 2 to 1 in NY is the news line being posted on news sites right now. Kinda shocking isn't it.

"poor" Romney, he's not sure if he's coming or going.

For someone who is supposed to be smart and well educated, he is not that bright, is he? He didn't fall far from the Failin' Palin Tree.

Then why are they back-peddling as fast as they can?

that's Romney's specialty: he's got a gold medal in POLImnastics.

Oh no, is the toliet bowl throwing the kitchen sink? Again? Stupid stupid GOP - you are so screwed...again...you never learn. Try again in 2016 and see what idiot pool you come up with the 3rd time around.

I'm seeing a lot of RWNJs coming out against President Obama to the level of "obsession".

But I don't see anybody actually FOR Mitt Robme, or saying anything at all that would make Mitt Robme seem like any kind of a better choice, which Mitt Robme surely is NOT.

I mean, all of Romney's plans and policies are bad, so Republicans can't mention that, but Republicans want to vote for Robme anyway? Why, because they don't understand that Romney is a JOBS CREMATOR? That Romney made his millions by outsourcing American Jobs to China and stealing American Workers' pension and retirement funds!

Obama/Biden 2012

@joe and all you Romney trail followers... Your ranting and cursing will not Put GOD in your campaign as Mitt Romney was panting before this happened and he was ready with a statement at 10PM on 911 was going to wait until midnight but his advisors told him to do it earlier... MMMMMM how much more is this Right wing party involved with this movie maker? I wonder. and I agree with the above reporter... This Mitt Romney looks and is acting just like RICHARD NIXON and he ended up resigning for his wrongdoings...

70% of Romney's advisers already have war plans drawn up and targets ready to hit on Januray 21st 2012, IF he is elected. There will be no consultation with Congress. Just let the missiles start flying.

TO: bayllie who wrote:

""poor" Romney, he's not sure if he's coming or going. For someone who is supposed to be smart and well educated he is not that bright, is he?..."

Well, Mitt Robme's specialties are buying American companies and taking out millions of dollars in loans against those companies, then laying off those companies' workers, stealing their pension and retirement money, then taking those companies into bankruptcy so that Romney doesn't have to pay back those loans, and shipping all of those American Jobs Overseas. Mitt has made about a half-a-billion-dollars doing exactly that!

Then Romney hides all his profits in off-shore accounts, or in Switzerland, so that Romney doesn't have to pay American taxes on all the money he stole, I mean earned(?), well, you know.

Now, after some 30 years or more of Robme robbing the American People the same way and making hundreds of millions of dollars doing exactly that, Republicans think Romney is going to change?

Not in your life.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2012

romney, a hard flip and a very soft flop. what ever i said, if i said, i will say again: say, what was that i said?

Q22,

You're very pessimistic. Obama was very smart in distancing our country from Egypt. Many in Egypt believe that we supported Mubarrak and his brutal suppression of his political opponents. Now they have a new President who will succeed at his job and will be more moderate if he can prove he is just not another American puppet, but his own man.

If we pressure him, he will have to push us away which would force him to take more anti-American positions. By voluntarily distancing our country from his, we give him the opportunity to pursue more moderate policies and calm the extremist elements in Egypt.

Republicans seem to think that we can just threaten and cajole another leader because we have the world's largest military force. It didn't work in Iraq and they know it. Look at all the trouble we had there. We thought it would be a quick fight. Better to have waited and let the weapons inspectors to do their job as Saddam was caving on weapons inspections weeks before our invasion.

Are you really prepared to call for war in Egypt? Let diplomacy work. Let Egypt's new President have the time to calm his country's extremist elements. Let's see what he does befor labelling it a foreign policy failure. It may well turn out to be the best strategy we have used in many years. To have a functioning democracy in a Muslim country with significant religious minorities would be a major step forward for the middle East.

Well, at least we aren't smoking tail pipe. Obama's bounce glow is fading? IDK if you were actually watching both conventions, but there was certainly more "bounce", like a 5 point "bounce" in the polls after the DNC.

That tail pipe must be good stuff.

Romney,

What kind of leadership is that when you make statements that are based on false information and when you flip-flop on your own statements. Then members of his own party criticize your Romney words. We don't need this kind of second rate leadership. Also, why does Romney figuring the president should step into the Chicago Teacher's Strike? What is wrong with this man? Don't republicans say that government should stay out of their lives? I'm glad government doesn't and that is why I hate republicans! I've been one and God helped me and now I'm not!

Seriously folks, focus on Romney's eyes, and that insecure little smile he's always forcing.

That's probably because Bush allowed both of Osama Bin Laden's terrorist dreams come true.

First, Bin Laden wanted to attack the United States on American soil (check in Bush's box for that coming true on Bush's watch); and

Second, Bin Laden wanted to destroy the entire United States Economy (check in Bush's box for that coming true too, also on Bush's watch).

Now how do you forget a guy like that? We haven't.

But somehow Republicans can't seem to remember the guy. Amnesia?

Obama/Biden 2012

Shady G --

Why would security at a US Embassy be so lax on the anniversary of 9/11 especially in LIBYA of all places?

Why is this administration not being asked that question?

Oh, I'm sure the question is being asked. But maybe it's because Libya, like Iraq, had nothing to do with September 11.

And maybe also because what warnings there were had nothing to do with Libya and had only to do with embassies in Cairo -- the US and the Israeli embassy -- and they were not specifically tied to September 11.

If idiots in the US put out a hateful video, is the government supposed to send out a million troops to every possible outpost in the world where an attack might occur just so that haters can hate "free"?

Who pays for that, do you suppose?

UP WITH THE SEVENTH PLANET FROM THE SUN!!!!

Q22

In focusing on Romney you have missed a MAJOR GAFFE by Obama in calling Egypt "not an Ally and not an enemy" Of course Egypt has been a ally of us for decades and we have many mutual agreements in place. What the hell is Obama talking about ?

Naturally there is major back-peddling going on but the fact is that he is the President and this is a rookie error.

You missed the political genius in Obama's statement. Egypt is coming out from being under 30 years of US-backed tyranny under Mubarak. If he says Egypt is an enemy, he confirms us as a saber-rattling, war-mongering nation to the Egyptian people. If he says Egypt is an ally, he undercuts Morsi as being another US puppet and hurts his ability to quell this uprising. Obama did this pitch perfect, especially compared to the tone-deaf Romney/Ryan camp...

"Since Rasmussen and Pew tied for most accurate in the last election I will follow the that over Gallup which was on the bottom half."

What are you smoking?? In 2008 Rasmussen had McCain winning Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado, and Florida. Obama win every one of them.

@ Harley Chic, 1.1

If it had been a Republican President we would likely have more than just the deaths we already have. Wasn't it the Republican Party that said we needed to put troops on the ground? How many troops are you willing to have killed? I'm sick of wars that do nothing but create enemies. Romney has already stated "in order for some to prosper others have to suffer," Who was he talking about suffering so his kids can live the lives of Billionaires? My son is and has been serving for 20+ years can he say the same? Even Royalty in England are/have served in their armed services, why should we settle for less?

So Flip-Flop Mitt is backtracking -- again. It seems like most every time he or Lyin Ryan say something, they have to backtrack, explain, spin and restate it the next day. Flip-Flop goes overseas and even manages to make the Brits angry, then has to backtrack. He's backtracking on what he said about Libya yesterday. He backtracks on what he said about Obama-care. Lyin Ryan backtracks about plant closing, about his votes to cut military spending --- the fool can't even be honest about his time in a marathon.

Caesar, yes, i do and I can remember my family leaving to come to America when I was about 10. I can remember firing squads on the next street an being told not to look out the window, but I did! That is why I do not like what I'm seeing in the right wing Nazi Republican party and all the things that are similar to the National socialists. God save us from people like you!

Caesar, You do not know what you are or may allow to be happening to this country!

Presidential wannabe "Rmoney" Softens Tone....

WALK BACK LIKE A REPUBLICAN

All the old men of the GOP

They do the walk back don't you know

If they move too quick (oh whey oh)

They're falling down like a domino

All the bizarre men of the GOP

They got their money on our sweat

Gold lovers (oh whey oh)

They want to stick us with the debt

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say

Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh

Walk back like a Republican

Mitt Romney has his say

He spins around, slides across the floor

He’s got the moves (oh whey oh)

You drop their Kool Aid and they bring you more

All the voters so sick of lies

They’re sick of Mitt and Paul Ryan

When the lie detector beeps

They walk back like a Republican

All the folks in the marketplace say

Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh

Walk back like a Republican

Slide your feet up the street bend your back

Shift your arm then you pull it back

Life is hard you know (oh whey oh)

So strike a pose on an ad attack

If you want to find Wall Street crooks

They're hanging out in Romney’s place

They sing and dance (oh whey oh)

Avoid taxes like it’s no disgrace

The party of the grumpy old men

Outsourcing all our jobs again

And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)

They walk back like Republicans

Foot in mouth, Mitt Romney says

Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh

Walk back like a Republican

Walk back like a Republican

My violent comments show how badly I don't want the things the Nazi did to my country done to this. If violence is needed to stop the take over from the extreme right then I might be for it. I get the feeling you are part of that extreme right.

Caesar, You never did answer if you think that FOX is really"Fair and Balanced?" Your response should tell us all something about you! I will admit that some media is slanted to the left, but I have never watched or read such extreme from the media as FOX You used their favorite word "Messiah" so you have been influenced! Not very "Fair and Balanced!" LOL!

Every time Romney opens his mouth he proves how ill-prepared he is for the office of President. If it wasn't so sad it would be hilarious he and Lyin' Ryan are the best the GOP can come up with. There is NO contest here.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2012.

Ignoramuses treat the Constitution like the Bible...

So voter ID's to prevent the poor and less fortunate to vote. ( Our governor had the signs taken down to tell people they could get ID's free) Then the courts ruled his ID law as bogus.

PACS, to buy elections like Nazi Germany did in the 30's

Running fake democrats to confuse voters in Wisconsin, just like the Nazi's did with Christian Democrats int he 30's.

Those are the tings that worry me. Oh, did you see the stock market reached a 5 year high today. Blame Obama for that now will you? No, you never even noticed and I bet FOX will forget to mention it as well!

American Girl-724855

Well, Mitt Robme's specialties are buying American companies and taking out millions of dollars in loans against those companies, then laying off those companies' workers, stealing their pension and retirement money, then taking those companies into bankruptcy

and that is exactly why Romney gets defensive when asked about Bain

any of you righties wanna explain why Romney does not want to talk about Bain, Mass or the Olympics?????

BrianB1956, "I have determined that the only way I will enjoy this is by completely ignoring your remarks. I don't deal with snakes."

And here I thought you were ALL about healthy competition. Don't like to share the sewer, eh?

tick toc little re-reg. I miss you already,...nah, I can't type that with a straight face.

I'll bet if a reporter was to ask Romney who Christopher Stephens was he wouldn't have a clue. After this latest Romney screw up; I sure hope the people that were thinking about voting for this political hack think again.

Mitt Romney might be good at tearing companies to shreds and shipping American jobs to China, but as the American President Romney would get us into a war within a matter of months.

I've seen fifth graders with better judgment than this guy.

Caesar, I think thou speaks too much! Then ---- Caesar. You use the word "Messiah" all the time and it is a catch word for FOX! I think you are a liar when you say you don't watch FOX. It isn't that FOX isn't unfair and unbalanced it is to what degree it is in right field that scares me. The Show "Five " has 4 against one" and the words, Muslim, Messiah, God etc. used to describe Obama gets me. Now if they would call bush a murderer I would feel at least a little better!

Brian b, Didn't find any snakes did you so how has it been playing with yourself?

Obama has the Peace Prize because he is the first president since the Bushwhakers that didn't start a war even though McCain and Romney want to start two others.

Romney just said why these people hate us, "The world needs American leadership. The Middle East needs American leadership," what that sounds like is the REPUBLICANS want to take over the Middle East no wonder these people hate us, who the HELL does this idiot think he is some sort of GOD.

Obama has the Peace Prize because he is the first president since the Bushwhakers that didn't start a war even though McCain and Romney want to start two others.

If by Bushwhakers you mean George W. Bush then, I guess, you are right because he is the ONLY president since George W. Bush. Hardly a qualifier for the Nobel Prize. And while he may not have started a war he sure ramped up Afghanistan, including drone strikes of civilians. Not really a qualifier for the "Peace" prize. He also got the Nobel before he had done anything but write about himself and win an election.

Hardly a qualifier for the Nobel Prize

not in Progressive Dystopia.

He also got the Nobel before he had done anything but write about himself and win an election

Its fun watching the Progressive moonbats spin it that he isnt a Megalomanic. Now watch 5 comment about my moniker instead of the truth.

He loves peace so much he went all out and brokered Peace in Libya. In fact he loves his Peace he left GITMO wide open and signed the Patriot Act too. Obama is a Charlatan.

ROMNEY UNVEILED HIS MILITARY PLAN FOR LIBYA. ROMNEY OUTSOURCES OUR MARINES AND ORDERS HALIBURTON TO RENT SOLDIERS FROM BECKYBECKYBECKYSTAN TO ATTACK LIBYA!

Yes in a bold move today Romney set up war profit no bid contract today with Haliburton to lease troops from BeckyBeckyBeckystan in Libya. He couldn't find any Hessian troops so these will have to do he replied.

When Romney was asked what prompted such a bold move he replied, "COSTCO SHIRTS COME 3 IN A PACK!

Stay tuned for more breaking news!

Timing and Administration response notwithstanding, is it just me, or do others wonder what Romney means when he says the statement from the Cairo embassy contradicts American values?

I have read it several times, but I don't see it.

What I see is that the Embassy worker was

1) supporting free speech, while condemning the content of the film as being inflammatory (which is free speech in itself) and

2) supporting and endorsing the American value of religious tolerance (and the separation of Church/Mosque and State).

How is any of that an attack on American values?

Of course, if you believe that the USA is or ought to be a Christian/Mormon theocracy/oligarchy that is insulted by the very existence of Islam, you might find the statements offensive. I do not.

And I don't want to send my son to war to support a Christian oligarchy.

Furthermore, as we have "discovered" to our chagrin (those of us who did not understand this in the first place), Islamic (or Christian, for that matter) fundamentalist thinking is not itself a nation state, and can not be subdued by military action.

So, where does that leave us? Diplomacy, as in "Speak Softly but Carry a Big Stick." As Obama says, "Justice WILL be served." But let's make sure that the justice we mete out lands on the right perpetrators. Otherwise, you have another boondoggle for Haliburton, that was Iraq. And too many young lives ruined or ended for nothing.

Obama/Biden 2012

ROMNEY SET UP MICHELLE BACHMANN AS HIS SECRETARY OF DEFENSE TO HANDLE LIBYA.

Romney introduced Michelle Bachmann to reporters at the beginning of press meeting on Libya. The first reporter asked Michelle Bachmann , "Well Sen. Bachmann what kind of military intelligence do you have?"

Michelle replied, " I used to play Battleship all the time when I was a child!"

Staytuned for more breaking news!

Go to hell Romney! I'm sure "the old hairy" will accept you even without your tax returns. And slip that lying, bleary eyed, sum-bitch, Ryan, through the servants entrance while your at it. Pair of silly, loud mouthed bastards!

My bet is Romney just changed the election theme to force or reason.

Look at your children and decide. Kill or be killed or reason?

I want Obama to win so in 2016 and beyond there will be another Republican for twelve more years. Libies complain if Romney is too harsh, complain if he is too soft but say nothing when Bobo says Egypt is not an ally even Jimmy Carter was going whaaat. You all are on some of the strangest drugs I have never heard of.

ROMNEY UNVEILED HIS MILITARY PLAN FOR LIBYA. ROMNEY OUTSOURCES OUR MARINES AND ORDERS HALIBURTON TO RENT SOLDIERS FROM BECKYBECKYBECKYSTAN TO ATTACK LIBYA!

do you have a link or is this more Liberal fiction? Im thinking fiction.

Further Proof Obama has nothing to run on or his thralls would tout his accomplishments. Nope we get people like Starsailing fabricating The Onion style news. BRAVO!

Romney puts softer edge on Libya criticism

Too late! The Robme/Lyan ticket has already lost. Why else would Lyan Ryan be running for governor of his own state if he actually believed he could win the 2012 VP.

News for paul ryan running for governor

PoliticoDCCC chief: Paul Ryan pick for GOP vice president is 'disaster' for House GOP

OBAMA 2012

So Romney admits to the insane defense spending. And how exactly are we going to pay for this?

What was that? Oh, with MORE tax cuts.

So increase military spending and cut revenue with tax cuts. Gee, that plan sounds awfully familiar. Where have I seen this before?

How did that work out last time? Oh ya, unsustainable deficit and record debt. Awesome, let's do it again. *facepalm*

Romney...don't soften your rhetoric one bit! Liberals are like terrorists---they only understand brute force!!

I have witnessed a walking trainwreck....

And its name is Mitt Romney

Hey Jeremy, Utah

When you bring up that the DNC even says to be patient for 4 more years for the recovery, well it is actually now at least 8 years according to Romney. He is the one that said it would take at least 8 years to fix the economy if he is elected. Oh and by the way, we already know how Utah will vote, like they always do. I will be voting for Obama.

And I heard that Sarah Palen can see Libya from Alaska, is this true?

It's over, Mitzi. You're incompetent, you're not likable, and people don't trust you because you won't even release your tax returns. And by the way, your running mate is a creep.

But your people can always turn to those trusty stand-bys, voter disenfranchisement and election-rigging. It worked out so well for all of us back in 2000.

Do you know what is really stupid about this whole thing? Mitt Romney gave a small. ineffective terrorist group a global venue. If we had totally ignored this mess, they would have disapeared in one, maybe two days. Now that Romney has given them world-wide exposure (no matter how stupid the premise), they may never go away.

Good for you, Romney, you gave the terrorists exactly what they wanted - world wide attention!

But, why? Why was Romney sooo anxious to give terrorists exactly what they wanted? Especially when this might actually hurt America? Because he just doesn't care about anything but what benefits Romney! Because no matter how much it might hurt America, if it helps Romney, that's OK!

Yeppirs, that is exactly who I want as president! I'll be voting a straight Democratic ticket this fall!

Our enemies want Obama be president. Countries Iran , Russia, China ; dictators Chavez, Fidel ; radicals Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas they all support Obama for reelection. Barack Hussein my brother we love you. :)

Wow, How many shoes do you think Rmoney can stuff in to his big mouth?? Every time he opens it there is another italian loafer ready to be inserted. He is the first human being to ever contract "Athelete's Teeth". LOL

Hey Oskar, boy you can sense the desparation in the air tonight can't ya you little one percenter you. LOL

Michael-4273928,

Hey now on the Utah thing! Jeremy swallowed the Utah kool-aid ... not all of us did! My vote actually does count for judges, school boards, and local councils. Whose to say they won't eventually wake up and GO BACK to voting Democrat - they used to. But until then, alas, Mittens has an R behind his name as is one of the brethren. So yep ... our little electoral votes will always be a big, bright, red.

Obama/Biden 2012 - if my vote doesn't count, please make sure yours DOES!

RobMe and lyin’ Ryan who is now in cahoots with RobMe on defense spending after lipless voted on the defense cut previously – where the heck are these 2 Conmen going to get that money?!? Seriously people, we OWE China 3 THRILLION dollars! These Repuglicans are so stupid and MATH illiterate. They complain about the deficit, but yeah we are going to continue with the defense spending.
Barely any revenue coming in, and the teabag congress blocked the Jobs ACT are still doing NOTHING. And yes, it COSTS us struggling middle class to pay for the tax cut of the UBER wealthy in this country. Reason all should vote Democrat this November.

Shameless RobMe has the gall to think he can be POTUS and be admired throughout the world. Doesn’t he realize the world is laughing at him??! He has NO COMMON SENSE WHATSOEVER, and I am not alone to be embarrassed to have this total DETACHED plastic wacko be my leader.
So God forbid!

More importantly, the constant barrage of lies about Obama’s policies needs to be corrected at every moment. It’s like talking to a brick wall, but we should not let these vile accusations and lies proliferate. People need to know that the Greedy Obstructionist Party of NO, have been up in arms since day one to block, delay, filibuster EVERY bill and propositions by the Democrats to fix this economy. And to this day, they blame Obama for their treasonous and heinous actions – even when people WHO paid attention SAW IT. SHAME on Romney and Ryan and the whole RNC party.

We don’t need a new president especially when the replacement is extremely FAULTY.
We do need to replace the ReTHUGS in Congress. And women who vote for the lying duo are a
glutton for punishment. Think about it – it’s like marrying the guy your family warned you about!!

And yes, the zillionaires and their superhacs will be spending a lot to send out their radical teabags to precincts all over for voter suppression/intimidation. MORE REASON for Democrats/Liberals/Progressives to be strong and fight these zombies.

Hey G-Man

Obama is a failure, he spend the day flip flopping and still is not sure if call Egypt enemy or ally. Obama is Carter in steroid, the Appeaser in Chief. Obama was in pajamas when the phone ring , he did not answer the F$#@@ call. 4 hours of desperation until those brave Americans where massacred and Obamas first response was an apology, instead to demand an answer why the Government of Syria allowed it happend..

"Ini mini myni mo"

BREAKING NEWS!! Just found out that Harley Chick is a 58-year old troll who's husband left her for a real woman. Now you all may understand why she's so vile. Everyone must give her a bit of compassion. Perhaps then, she'll mellow out and get out of that dark closet and interact with the real world.

As for no joe, no bo, nj, I don't think there's any hope....This guy is so far gone even cupid can't strike any love in that dark heart.....

To pick on this poor fool would be too easy. Let's just leave it that he's a poor, brainless moron that deserves to be pitied. But, one has to wonder, are all Obama haters this ignorant?? I wonder how the government of Syria would answer the question posed by oskar.....hmmmm......

Gold Wings are for p*ssies who are afraid to ride on the freeway or go over 45mph.

Does that elevate this discussion at all?

Nope.

I don't know, but keep ranting....I like it!!

Seriously, I think the desperation is becoming apparent.

Notice how the comments on here against Obama are:

1.) About receiving the peace prize. Uhh.. Obama didn't give that to himself. Are you really blaming him for that?

2.) The downgrade to the AA rating. Which, btw, the very company that gave us downgrade explicitly stated that it was due to the impasse in Congress, primarily congressional Republicans.

3.) About his foreign policy record. Which, btw, is so good that the Democrats have been pumping and preening over it forever. Why? Because they're so completely confident in it.

Some of you Obama-haters on here have really hit the bottom of the barrel, haven't you? Your criticism aren't even making sense anymore.

Do you really want millionaires and billionaires running this country? Mitt and Paul have already agreed that we need to keep the Pentagons and military spending at the war levels they are at now. If we stayed home we wouldn't have to pay for the weapons to protect our troops who are where they shouldn't be in the first place!

Caesar, Just remember that bush has a prize waiting for him should he be in the right place at the right time! It is an arrest warrant issued by the Hague for WAR CRIMES!

For those of you who are criticizing President Obama for his "not an enemy or an ally" comment, I trust that you have noticed that it had an immediately positive impact on the Egyptian government.

Someone in the thread above pointed out that Romney has made this election about the choice between force and reason. I think that's right.

I think Romney just lost this election.

Harley Chic

Romney made no blunder -- just a distinction in a robust , pro-American foreign policy...

Since Romney's foreign policy advisers are neo-conservative former Bush advisers, would this be a "robust, pro-American foreign policy" like the Iraq War?
You're quite a piece of work harleychick.

oskar-1391552

Our enemies want Obama be president. Countries Iran , Russia, China ; dictators Chavez, Fidel ; radicals Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas they all support Obama for reelection. Barack Hussein my brother we love you. :)

It occurs to me by naming Russia and China as enemies, you are fueling a fire detrimental to the USA. Are you an al Qaeda plant? Your picture makes me think so.

a protester ripped a Romney sign in half and began shouting at Romney for politicizing the attacks in Libya. "I would offer a moment of silence but one gentleman doesn't want to be silent so were going to keep on going."

Willard should be made to 'own' his politicizing the attacks! Instead, he insults a protestor! Willard should have been 'silent' yesterday.....

Cheap Shot Willard!

Feisty, please don't give any credit to Peggy Noonan, for "seeing the light". If she had any brains, she would have "seen the light" years ago.

Same goes for Joe Scarborough. He is only thinking of himself or Jeb Bush. He doesn't care about truth or integrity. Remember the swift boaters?

You can thank Scarborough for that. Yet he's still on tv. He's a liar. What he did to Sen. Kerry is unconscionable.

Media Matters: MSNBC host and former U.S. Representative Joe Scarborough (R-FL) devoted nearly half of the November 14 edition of MSNBC's Scarborough Country to lauding the achievements and rehashing the false claims of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (now Swift Vets and POWs for Truth). Media Matters for America documented the group's vicious smear campaign against Senator John Kerry throughout the presidential campaign.

The discussion featured four conservatives -- Scarborough, MSNBC political analyst and former Republican presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, author and Wall Street Journal op-ed columnist John Fund, and Republican strategist http://www.lathropgage.com/people/bio.aspx?bioid=8451">Jack Burkman -- opposite a lone liberal, radio host Leslie Marshall. Scarborough, Buchanan, Fund, and Burkman heaped praise on Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and repeated the group's most frequently heard lies and distortions. Throughout the discussion, no one noted that official Navy records and other evidence contradict all of the accusations made by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth about Kerry's combat decorations, as MMFA documented here and elsewhere. MMFA has also documented the group's lies about Kerry's subsequent antiwar activity.

Lavish praise

• Scarborough's opening monologue lionized "these swift vets, who elitists so randomly passed off as lying right-wing cranks and Texas tools of the Bush attack machine" as "bona fide American heroes."
• Fund observed that Kerry "paid a very, very, very heavy price, because he underestimated what old soldiers are capable of doing if they're fighting in a cause that they believe in."
• Buchanan said: "These guys are A-authentic, genuine. They're not political phonies." Later, he added that "these swift boat ads were the most effective attack ads I have ever seen in my life. And one the reasons ... is, they are rooted first in truth."

Buchanan also congratulated Scarborough and himself for hyping Swift Boat Veterans for Truth in early August, before mainstream journalists had focused on them:

BUCHANAN: [Swift Boat Veterans for Truth] began not with millions of dollars, but a couple hundred thousand dollars and with us, you [Scarborough] and I and a few others, running these ads on our own show, arguing it, debating it, with Kerry sitting over there refusing to answer, as this thing percolated up from the bottom, all the way up to where the big media had to cover it.

Indeed, MMFA documented numerous instances of Scarborough and Buchanan echoing the group's demonstrably false charges or, in Scarborough's case, giving group members a forum for their lies and distortions about Kerry.

###############################

Please everybody, don't give any credit to Republican pundits for going after Mitt. These are the same people who are going to vote for him in November.

They are nasty nasty people who can't be trusted with either the truth or integrity, anymore than Romney can be trusted with the truth or integrity.

Feisty, please don't give any credit to Peggy Noonan, for "seeing the light". If she had any brains, she would have "seen the light" years ago.

No credit for Peggy, Pat!

Personally, I can't STAND her!

I'm just enjoying watching her trying to defend the indefensible!

Karma is finally catching up with those people! ;o)

btw

Buchanan praised the Swift Boat Veterans' truthfulness: "They came out, 20 of them, signed sworn affidavits about what Kerry did and did not do. And, dramatically, they proved Kerry did not tell the truth when he said he was in Cambodia." However, the "affidavits" were never filed in court, so the documents have no legal significance. By contrast, all available military documentation contradicts the claims the veterans made in these affidavits about the combat incidents for which Kerry received his various military decorations, as MMFA explained. (Media Matters)

Romney is trying to put the lid back on Pandora's box, and it is too late, all the evil has escaped!

Frightening thought that someone this divorced from the finesse of foreign affairs wants charge of them.

He would be a disaster, war with Iran, war with China, war with Russia, he just loves to play war games.

Would someone get him a gaming system and teach him how to use it so he will get off the national stage?

Willard is losing big time, and the debates should finish him off.

ndD: funny how you mention Pandora's box. The Republicans have truly unleashed all of the evil there is in this campaign. Like Pandora, all we have left is hope.

Karma is finally catching up with those people

Absolutely feisty. Just too bad the damage has been done, which was years in the making by these SOBs.

Just too bad the damage has been done, which was years in the making by these SOBs.

I hear you Pat!

Their days are numbered and they know it!

joe, Obama 2012, hahahahahaahahahahahahahahhahah

ZMan - you are the only so called "Democrat for Romney" that I have ever heard of. Kind of lonely out there all by yourself? Take 2 tax breaks, 1 deregulation, and call us back in the morning(Bill Clinton, Democratic National Convention 2012). We never left you, but unlike you, we don't play the game one person's way or take the ball back home. We are all in this together and while i agree, nader was the spoiler in 2000 and 2004, people who flocked to him were never real Democrats to begin with and all the working/middle class Democratic families have know this for a long time. so support robme if you must, but don't claim to be something you are not - it is much easier to respect someone who is what they say they are and for the reasons they state.

Democrats for Rmoney is like screwing for chastity.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

....both reliable conventional-wisdom-peddlers and even some right-wing analysts said that Romney had made a serious mistake by distorting the timeline of the Egyptian embassy's response to the protests, and by making such a harsh political attack on the White House.

As Wednesday wore on, pundits continued reacting with astonishment at Romney's response. Speaking to Rachel Maddow, NBC's Andrea Mitchell said that "It was one of those moments where the character and the policy were both revealed." She speculated that Romney may have been looking to satisfy some of the conservative commentators who have been openly attacking his campaign strategy.

"I think they were looking for an opportunity," she said. "...This is a serious business. This is not the stuff of combative political press releases. I can't recall, Rachel, and I don't think you can, another time when the United States was under fire, literally, where a presidential candidate in either party put out a press release.

Peggy Noonan, who made waves with her criticism of Romney on Fox News, had an even more withering assessment for her own Wall Street Journal.

"Romney looked weak today," she said. "At one point, he had a certain slight grimace on his face when he was taking tough questions from the reporters, and I thought, 'He looks like Richard Nixon.'"

On Thursday morning, Joe Scarborough said he had been "absolutely flabbergasted" by Romney's response.

Even Bill O'Reilly called Romney out, though very briefly. Playing footage of Romney criticizing the Egyptian embassy for issuing a statement that was "akin to apology."

"I'm not sure the Governor is correct on that," O'Reilly said. "The embassy was trying to head off the violence. Being conciliatory in that kind of a situation seems logical."

Newspaper editorial boards across the country blasted Romney's response as well. The Washington Post called it "a discredit to his campaign" and the Los Angeles Times said it was an "outrageous exercise in opportunism." The Boston Globe labeled it "offensive on many other levels" beyond the timing of his remarks.

The fact-checking brigades also had their knives out for Romney. The Associated Press, for instance, said he had "seriously mischaracterized what had happened in a statement accusing President Barack Obama of "disgraceful" handling of violence there and at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo."

Media Matters ...LOL...

A Soros-funded group of leftist radicals whose avowed purpose is to attack Fox News and its employees , personally...

Oh my gosh, really? This is so cool. I had no idea we were this well organized on the left. I've always thought of us as a sort of large clown car with good intentions.

Comes from the "live and let live" mantra of liberals. Hard to organize a rabble driven by dogma when everyone is out doing what makes them feel happy. It's much easier to drive people who are bitter and repressed....

They sure have , dirp, and they keep trying to focus the blame where it doesn't belong.

Pat, Boston - I disagree.

Even though the republican pundits will end up voting for Romney such as those you mentioned Noonan, Scarborough etc. they should be given credit when they get something right. Some Republicans have rightfully noted that Romney was not presidential and when given the chance to correct himself, doubled down on a false timeline and warped facts. Some of them understand that "politics stops at the waters edge". From the post above 3.17, even O'Reilly dressed down Romney's timing, tone etc.

They should be thanked for saying what is right this time.

The remainder of your "testimonial" is just as worthless.

Why do so many of you GOPeaParty folks pretend to be something other than what you are?

I'm beginning to think that Romney isn't fit to be president of a home-owners association, much less president of the US. It seems like ever-time he opens his yap on day, he then has to restate, backtrack, spin and explain what he actually said the next day.

Sorry YellowDog, after what Scarborough pulled with the swiftboaters. he deserves nothing in my book. These pundits can't be right some of the time and wrong most of the time. Especially when it comes to lies. That's how we the viewers feel.

And it's why the social media is so strong. We can't trust the pundits. Not all, but most of them. We simply can't trust them.

.

Zman am I and others here to surmise that you actually are hanging your hat on Romney because of broken promises by the Dems you mentioned?

Well, if you want to vote for a Romney certainly, by all means, but he's also a big, smelly, putrid lying sac of s**t that is nowhere near Dems half-truths you tell. Not lightyears.

One should not vote on promises (sizzle) that any candidate tries to sell. You gotta buy the steak (ideals) of what principals the party stands for.

For example, there are those that want to repeal Obamacare, and why, not because it actually helps those with pre-existing conditions, or young adults < 26 years old, etc., but because an elected black man with an apparent birther issue came up with it that the other party didn't have the gumption to enact.

So, if you want to flip-flop, like you know who, go ahead you are just a misguided soul, but I am not really too worried about it since there aren't too many like you out there. At least not enough to make a difference since there are those like the former Republicon pizza guy in Florida that gave POTUS a nice bear hug welcome.

People, like him, give me hope.

I really do not get how all the Neocons start nodding their heads no matter what Willard says. Just lots of words about anger and demanding respect, he'll set them straight. Just like his plans for economy, health care, and everything else there are no specifics. I can only conclude he has a secret plan. Just what is it he is going to do? One course would be for him will put on his magic underwear and cast a spell. This guy is running for president and all he does is talk in platitudes. He is full of what he will not do, but total vacuous on any specifics.

Would one of his minions explain what it is that he is going to do? I understand that facts are a problem for you Repubs, but try and provide some idea what it is that he is going to do.

Zman,

For someone that claims they used to be a Democrat you sure sound like a Teabagger. How do we you sound like a Teabagger? It's the hair in you're teeth causing a small but noticeable speech problem. You know the hair form getting Teabagged.

Do you know what is really stupid about this whole thing? Mitt Romney gave a small. ineffective terrorist group a global venue. If we had totally ignored this mess, they would have disapeared in one, maybe two days. Now that Romney has given them world-wide exposure (no matter how stupid the premise), they may never go away.

Good for you, Romney, you gave the terrorists exactly what they wanted - world wide attention!

But, why? Why was Romney sooo anxious to give terrorists exactly what they wanted? Especially when this might actually hurt America? Because he just doesn't care about anything but what benefits Romney! Because no matter how much it might hurt America, if it helps Romney, that's OK!

Yeppirs, that is exactly who I want as president! I'll be voting a straight Democratic ticket this fall!

@union baby tennessee and @starderup

Apparently you only read the polling information that tells you what you want to see & hear.

9% of those who voted for Obama in 2008 say they will not do so, this time around.

So, you may think I'm the only Democrat in the whole country who's going to vote for Mitt Romney (although, I don't think that even you two are stupid enough to believe that).

But, if you do, you're dead-@$$ wrong.

What's more, who, or what gives you the right to even intimate that someone who isn't voting your way, is not / was not a Democrat, or that they are paid poster?

LOL..........there are several Obama-Shama-Lama-Ding-Dong-Disciples (and one in particular) who are routinely the first ones to post everyday in "First Thoughts."

Who are they connected with, and how much do they get paid? Why don't you question them as being "posers?"

I never see you or anyone else accuse them of being disengenuous.

But then again, they agree with you, and that' all anyone is allowed to do, no? The rest of us "Blue Dogs" should fall of the face of the earth, and go straight to hell, right?

I have nothing to prove to the likes of either of you. I stayed true to the Democratic party for 36 years and was rewarded with a President who wants me to pay more in taxes than I already do (and I'm not in the 1%, either!), who wants to make it more difficult for my kid to get assistance for a college education, while other people's kids get free educations, who wants me to pay more for my health insurance so someone else who doesn't have a job, and/or may not not even be a legal occupant of this country can have it too. A President who apologizes to the islamic world for the US having defended itself after 9/11. A President who LIED when he said "the jobs are shovel ready" back in 2008. A president who said he was "different" and then pushed for billions of dollars worth of government guaranteed loans for his two largest campaign contributors.

Don't preach to me about representing yourself to be something you're not. Because it's clear to a good number of us that a large portion of Obama's support comes from people who simply want "free stuff" without having to work for it. I would respect them more if they would just come out and say that, instead of trying making it sound like they support him for the good of the country.

And lastly, the independent punks, and third party pukes (who'll bolt the party when an extremeist-leftist isn't running), the ones who kept Gore and Kerry out of the White House; are the same ones who put Obama in.

They are the reason we suffered for eight years under Bush, and they are the ones who've pushed the Democrat agenda so far to the left as to be close (too damned close) to socialism.

I want a center-left President aliken to Bill Clinton who'll listen and work with both sides of the political aisle for the good of The American People. We don't have that now, and we aren't going to get it from Barrack Obama.

He's already shown us that

That's why I support Mitt Romney

Thats one of the best comments i've seen you make Feisty. :)

heard that before, who'd you steal that quote from, ignoramus.

Obama 2012

michigan unemployed? Why? I turn down at least 3 job offers a week because they aren't willing to pay me what I already make. You should get some skills.

michigan unemployed - I'd think you were unemployed due to your name, but heck, you can call youself anything you want. Yes, why aren't you at work? Some of us use our break and lunch time to post here, how about you?

your own moniker says "unemployed", so I'm pretty sure YOU said you were unemployed. BTW, I am at work. I can multitask.

well i had to shut down the jobsite because of rain. and i would fire you for screwing off at work when i'm paying you to work. so you from your monicker must be a baby ? and some ones a parrot ? and cmon 3 job offers a week ? with that much work in detroit there shouldn't be any unemployment.

You shut down the jobsite for rain? It hasn't rained in a week. I'm calling BS. You are a jobsite foreman? I'm calling BS on that too. You are most likely the site gofer. I do contract and consulting work, and the IT field is booming in Michigan. 3 job offers a week. Like I said, get some skills.

Detroit, I've had that argument in the past about it complaining why we ask if he's unemployed .... it's too complicted for michigan to understand that he advertises it himself.

First off, I work from home. Consulting means I am my own boss. My employer wants results, and they get them from me. They don't care what I do between emergencies, just that I deliver. I don't get paid by the hour, I get paid by the results. Just because you only worked hourly jobs doesn't mean everyone does.

Secondly, just because you don't have the education to do what I do doesn't mean you have to be a hater. I did construction work, but since I was capable of more I did so. Besides, I wasn't comfortable being around all those drug heads and convicts (Don't try to deny that either, then I know you are a liar).

Third, if you want more job opportunities you have to go where they are. It must suck to be dependant on contruction in an area that only has a few months where you can do it. It may be raining in Traverse City, but that's not where I am. It may be where you are, but since you didn't say where you were I had to assume you were in southeast Michigan where most of the population is. I'm pretty sure you know that weather isn't the same everywhere at the same time.

and finally, if you really do work contsruction you have suckled at the teat of unemployment more than once in your life. Save your faux outrage for December when you will be collecting those entitlements that you blame for dragging down our system.

4.11 But a little sissy desk jockey

4.4 but typical liberal response just call some one names if you have nothing intelligent to say.

Bon Appetit, hypocrite.

Unemployed, maybe you should look out your window, it's not raining now. It wasn't a downpour, and it has been not raining most of the day so why did you REALLY send everyone home?

http://www.weather.com/weather/right-now/USMI0829

Isnt the internet great where you can make up a fake world to go along with your fake post. and you started the name calling i just called you for what you are and you know i'm right . your little min wage job living at your parents type i bet . and why a druggie ? two months a year of work ? yeah i say sissy desk jockey. you have no clue about construction other than to push some paper . got some jobs to go bid have to let you go but get a real job and get out of your parents house trust me we really dont like supporting ya's but of course we give ya a place to live because we care.

Yep, "fake world". Thats it.

No need to be a hater, bro. Just because your life didn't turn out the way you planned doesn't mean you have to hate other people. You denied druggie but not convict. I said either, and you chose. I also didn't say "two months", I said "a few". If I had meant 2, I would have said 2. And yes, I do know about construction, I worked construction jobs for 3 years after I got out of the Air Force. I worked carpentry, concrete, bricklaying, and roofing at various times. I do believe you're carpenter, probably a finish carpenter because those a-holes think they know everything but are as ignorant as a slug.

You go bid on your "jobs" (wink, wink). I wonder if that's the reason you'll give your P.O. that you were in that part of town. Don't worry about supporting me, I'll be the one giving you the means to buy food and lottery tickets in January.

I think he sent the guys home early so he could touch himself inappropriately. Didn't rain here either.

Presidents don't thave the luxury of softening their rhetoric after a crisis. President Obama has proved himself to be cool, calm and collected during what must be a personal nightmare for him. Imagine if your employees were killed at their jobs. Romney has contributed nothing to helping during this crisis.

Republicans, forget this election; yours is a lost cause.

Reagan was the last guy that seemed to have made sense and resonated with folks on both sides.

You can never win an election in the 21st century by alienating folks; gone are the days you could do that with impunity and still win elections.

Agree with me or not, the 21st century voter is a more informed critter, less hardliners...

Try again in 2042...

Picture this- President Obama and Mitt Romney in their first debate. The commentator asks questions about pretty much any major issue and everyone looks at Romney to see what positon he will take. Lets talk about foreign affairs, for Mitt not a good topic, balance the budget, not so good for Mitt when he wants to give a tax cut for the wealthy and increase spending for the millitary. When asked about creating jobs and it comes out that the jobs created was manufacturing jobs oversea's and his Health Plan created the most employment which was 3,200 health jobs. How about abortion, Mitt takes what positon? Lets talk coal- Mitt takes what position, he swithched in Mass- as governor to gas because of polution and didn't want his neighbors to breathe bad air. Gun control- Mitt voted for assult weapons ban, brady bill and was never a real hunter. There has just got to be something he would be confortable with talking about? Wait a minute- Medicare------no he would have to say he is going to vouchers. How about Social Security--------No he would have to say he wants to privitize it. Like lets put in the stock market, and we know how that works. This is going to be one great debate.

Personal nightmare for him? So, he gave up an hour before departing to vegas for his fund raising trip? Yeah, seems really broken up.

"Romney has contributed nothing to helping during this crisis." To you I think the only thing you feel would be helping would be to lay down before the executioner. When you are seen as weak, you are targeted. bullies on the playground don't go after the kid they know will kick their tail, but the timid, bow to the world type. CarterII, playing now. Wish to pay again? I don't.

You can't seriously fall for the "hope and change" nonsense again. Can you?

"I have a plan to fix things" why haven't you instituted it yet? Why didn't you put The Great Plan into work 3 1/2 years ago, instead of pushing health care to the n-th degree, while you had House, Senate?

When the boat is sinking, and the captain wants to ram the iceberg again, its time to get off the ship, or drink more kook-aid.

I am remembering the previous 2 elections 2004 was very neck/neck Bush wasn't doing a great job, but Gore lost when the Dem party was split up and that wasn't a good thing. 2008 same thing except the tea party really mucked things up for the GOP (along with their sitting Pres throwing us all down a giant hole). I respected John McCain, but when he picked Ms. Palin as his running mate, he lost the race. Both Mr. McCain, Candidate Obama and Mr. Gore never disrespectful the sitting President like Mr. Romney has been. Mr. Romney has been traveling the world, giving press conferences like he IS the President (and sounding very GWB about going in and taking care of who did this and being a bit embarrassing when meeting these potential peers). As he stated it is hard to beat an incumbent, but when you had a chance to be an American and you used it as an opportunity, that is not what I want in a President. I want someone who cares. It's taken a good 4 years to START taking care of problems and repairing our reputation in the world. It would be sad to see this undone. I'm sure Mr. Romney is successful but there are still way too many things we don't know about him. Also, he talks about Obamas broken promises...well anyone who runs for office makes promises. Sometimes they are kept, but most times they are broken.

And Obama isn't????? He can't get out of Afghanistan in less than 6 years after taking office when he said he would do it in 2.

you are right and the scary part is that he will not even know how it got started.

And Obama isn't????? He can't get out of Afghanistan in less than 6 years after taking office when he said he would do it in 2

• No - he DID NOT say that.

Do you know what is really stupid about this whole thing? Mitt Romney gave a small. ineffective terrorist group a global venue. If we had totally ignored this mess, they would have disapeared in one, maybe two days. Now that Romney has given them world-wide exposure (no matter how stupid the premise), they may never go away.

Yeppirs, that is exactly who I want as president! I'll be voting a straight Democratic ticket this fall!

Once more, Mitt Romney flip-flops. how many does this make? He's practicing foreign relations without a license!

Agree. He got his cheap political shot he should move on keep his mouth shut. If Romney continues to bring up the nonexistant apology and keep up the drum beating, reporters will start to ask questions.

____Hypothetical interview if Romney ever strays from Fox_______

Reporter - How can you believe that the Cairo statement was an apology for the attacks when looking at the timeline it came out before the attacks happened, meant to tamp down the release of a anti muslim film?

Romney - Uh, Well...I know, I know that I agree in free speech and we should proudly defend hateful speech meant to inflame passions in volitile areas of the world. We should not try to minimize one preacher's obscure movie, rather we should promote it as our national policy view.

Reporter - The timing and tone of your comments aside, what would you be doing that Obama is failing to do in his foreign policy? More specifically what should he be doing about Libya?

Romney - Well, (akward chuckle/smile), I would not be hanging up the phone on Israel and stopping our relationship. In addition, this president has shown an overtly apologetic and meek submissive role to the world. Especially the muslim world, one he is quite familar with and takes his ques from, I might add.

Reporter - I'm sorry Governor, the latest reports are that the White House and the PM have been in contact and there is no breakdown in relations. People might even say that the President has been backing Israel and keeping foreign policy statements similar to previous presidents. In fact some on the left and right would note that Obama has had quite a strong, interventionist policy.

Specifically what is he doing wrong overall and what are your suggestions for Libya?

Romney - Well. Overall (shakes head). Obama is doing everything, uh wrong. In Libya, specifically, I for one would not appologize for our freedoms. I would stand strong and respect our flag and soldiers. (Gesticulates nervously with hands). I would do better.

Reporter - I'm sorry but you are not answering my questions.

_____

Seriously though, if Romney keeps this up he will be asked questions like this in the debates and he can't give his normal beauty pageant style answers (repeating the questions) and not providing specifics.

Yellowdog - "normal beauty pageant style answers" like Palin tried to do? Yep, we all see how well that worked out!

Romney has absolutely no substance yet he's willing to show his vacuousness at every stop!

Obama/Biden 2012

I'm on your side, bro. But seriously, it's time to stop copy/pasting the same response on every thread.

And, let's not forget; he insulted the Brits...and he was WRONG in his criticism of their Olympics!!!

Bob Jones - you probably don't care about this but you would certainly sound smarter if you stopped calling the President of the United States - Odumdum

you know bob jones - you really should hush up - first you are pissing me off with your ignorance. then you are giving your name sake a bad name. then you are proving my long held belief that Christians who blow their own horn and about as mean spirited a person as ever walked the earth . now hush up

@Wrongo,

Obama did not agree not to put a missile defense in Europe. That is a lie. Period.

The missile shield in Europe will probably not happen for two reasons:

1) There is a growing backlash against putting them in Europe. Why would Iran be attacking Europe? Why would we be defending Europe against Iran? Why are we not putting a missile defense system in place in this country first? What idiot thought that putting a missile defense aimed at the re-entry phase of a missle instead of the infinitely easier boost phase? A missile shield in Europe is not something American taxpayers want to pay for. It was a bad idea left over from the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld idiocy.

2) The Pentagon has done study after study and they have all had the same results. Any missile defense that intends to kill missiles in the re-entry phase is unlikely to work more than 5% of the time. (The last time we tried to use such a defense was against Sadaam's SCUD missiles. In Israel and Saudi Arabia/Yemen, the Patriot missile defenses failed to hit even a single SCUD. There was a lot of self-congratulations at the timne, but analysis of the radar tapes showed that the Patriots missed every time. The Pentagon says that it is about 400 times as hard to hit a missile in the re-entry phase as in the boost phase. And a re-entry missile defense shield would be extremely easily bypassed by simply overwhelming it with numbers of missiles, numbers of warheads, or decoys.

But the GOP wants to build a many billion dollar missile system in Europe knowing it won't work and that the Pentagon does not want it. But they will pay for it by cutting Pell Grants.

We make laser guided bombs that free fall to targets and are extremely effective and accurate and you want everyone to believe that missiles especially, surface-to-air, aren't guided the same way and not effective?

I served in Dessert Storm. Two events occurred near Khobar towers. One wasn't successful and one was, however, there were theatre-wide successes of the Patriot system, to your chagrin.

I am not a Republicon, but your information isn't correct, and the Pentagon will not shy money away, whether it is a missile defense system, or a stealth bomber, to satisfy the blood lust budget.

bahrrt.....

The Patriot system is effective against single warhead missiles, like the Scud, however nuclear warheads are generally multiple independant re-entry vehicles (MIRV'd), making use of a single booster to place multiple warheads into orbit from which the can re-enter and engage multiple targets.

Thus, I'm not sure an ABM system would not be overloaded by the sheer number of MIRV'd nuclear weapons re-entering the atmosphere.

My understanding is the Eastern European missile shield is to defend against nuclear attack, and it is logical to assume that eventually the Iranians would MIRV their missiles, which would make the missile shield obsolete.

Besides, Jamal can still load a nuke into the trunk of his Toyota and drive right past the missile shield on his way to Paris before meeting Allah in a spectacular show of devotion.
