Which candidate, by the way, on the presidential campaign could have said this: “I’m not opposed to people making a living and representing businesses. But when you’re out there saying, by the way I’m representing the little guy and the middle class and in fact, we find out that’s not true, that’s an issue. That’s an issue of honesty and character.”
But that was Scott Brown talking about Elizabeth Warren.
MISSOURI: Here’s Claire McCaskill’s ad hitting Todd Akin for his “legitimate rape” comments and more, including Social Security, Medicare, abolishing the minimum wage, and eliminating student loans. “What will he say next?” an announcer asks.
WISCONSIN: The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports on a video showing Tommy Thompson saying he wants to “do away” with Medicare. Here’s the headline: “Video: Thompson would ‘do away’ with Medicare; instead, wants to reform it.”
Here’s a chunk of what he said: “[W]ho better than me, who’s already finished one of the entitlement programs, to come up with programs to do away with Medicaid and Medicare? Let’s block-grant what the state has, and allow the states to determine what’s going to go into Medicaid. And Medicare, let’s wait until everybody that’s right now is under 55 reaches 55 … and give them a choice whether they want to purchase health insurance with a subsidy from the federal government, or stay on Medicare."
Here’s what his campaign said: “Medicare is quickly headed towards insolvency… In this video, Thompson was making the case for reforming Medicare so that we can protect it for current seniors and preserve it for future generations. That is evidenced by his comments at the end of the video where he says he wants people to have a choice to either stay on Medicare as it is or give people another option. Thompson is a proven reformer.”

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable
of entrusting an inexperienced man like him with the Presidency. It will be far
easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the
necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to
have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more
serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the
prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools
that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less
likely to survive a multitude of Idiots such as those who made him their
president."
I truly wish I knew the source for this quote, it sums up what is wrong with America...
Let's see sirie. McCain had no clue we had economic problems. He picked SarahPalin as his running mate. Check it out - even the Australians know it. The cranks and crackpots of the Republican Party are destroying the economy of not only the US but the world.
You lose!
Obama/Biden 2012
New poll shows that Obama at 43% and Romney 34% on fixing the economy.
Wonder why???
Obama/Biden 2012
Great Quote and spot on: You could see the "multitude of idiots" in Charlotte praising Obama for the "great job he did his last term". Dressing for success was not an issue as all the area Goodwill Stores sold out to convention goers! I do believe every ugly Democrat in the country was there. Dressed in urban tacky*goodwill*.
I agree. The press elected him in 08 and they are trying to do it again. Do not be fooled twice America. Wake up.
Claire will lose for one reason. She has voted with Obama. We in Missouri will not forget that and it did not work out well for Ike and it will not work for her.
What we in Missouri really don't like rukidding is a republican crazy like Todd Akin. Yes the uninformed rural area's will vote for crazy Todd. But the informed voters of this great state will vote for Claire McCaskill.
I assume the city fools are who you speak about as being "informed". You will vote for Claire and you will lose. Same as Obama.
Thats the Percentage of fools Romney speaks about. You just happen to be in that percentage.
And in Maine, the Republican Party is attacking Independent Angus King for making "millions and millions of dollars" in the private sector! : )
McCaskell has hit a new low. Shocking! The guy apologized for his misinformation about the female able to NOT conceive during rape. 43,000,000 Americans on food stamps, true unemployment bordering 2-0%, Obama's failed Arab Spring exploding; and we are discussing a gaffe?? The Conservatives really need Akin in the Senate and now that he is IN; the money needs to flow into his campaign to rid the country of McCaskill-She is an Obama rubber stamp.
Every time a member of the GOP says what they really believe, Americans are appalled. Keep talking, teabaggers.
