Ha! I have your secret of first post...just not fast enough.

Paul Ryan isn't even a reliable source of bad news!

Ryan: it isn't that you have had missteps, that is just a function of how unsuitable the two of you are for high office. Jaysus, neither one of you can run a campaign, but you expect us to believe you can run the nation?

No. The problem is that you and Romney have made clear how much you dislike the people of this nation, and how you see us as the serving class to your gargantuan needs.

I am no victim, Ryan, not going to start being one by voting for you and Mittens.

The whole Republican Party campaign has been a GIGANTIC mistep and a carnival.

Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney just open their mouth and flies get in, and BS comes out.

Obama/Biden 2012

Ha! I have your secret of first post...just not fast enough.

I wasn't aware there was a secret...

“It was an inarticulate way to describe what we’re trying to do to create prosperity and upward mobility, and reduce dependency by getting people off welfare back to work.”

This guy doesn't even know what he's talking about. 1.4% of the entire population collects 'welfare' (AFDC-cash assistance). So what about this other 45.6%?

After all Ryan and Romney have said (misrepresented and lied), how can anyone but rabid right wing reactionaries take them seriously?

some missteps?

that's euphemism for a disaster of the proportions of Ancient city of Pompeii.

But I am sure scholars will get a chance to study this disaster for years - as archaeologists have studies the excavated Pompeii.

'We've had some missteps and " ... we intend to double down on that.

There you go Ryan, I fixed it for you.

Good morning Feisty

Missteps? LMAO!

The two yahoo's are as graceful as hogs on ice!

Vulture/Voucher 2012!!!

Yup, Little Eddie Munster and the MYTH sure are.

We need to put deadbeat dad Joe Walsh in this picture of a hilarious storage company ad about Ryan.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A4C1WTvCUAApDr7.jpg

BTW: Lyin Ryan may think he's an excellent hunter; but I know he and the "MYTH" are afraid of President Obama and the democrats like a goat's a** is to a butcher knife.

Obama/Biden 2012

Ryan - the good looking teenager - always reminds me of the movie titled 'Clueless'

Mitt - the bad-arsed vulture - always reminds of a horror movie - Frankenstein or even the Herman Munster (the Munsters), or whatever.

Nov 9 will be the beginning of the Great Romney/Ryan Apology Tour that will make Obama look like he went around the world slapping faces.

Paul Ryan: 'We've had some missteps' in campaign

Yep Paulie, Here's a big one. Mitt Romney picks Paul Ryan for VP!!

Asked what missteps, Paul Ryan immediately mentioned Romney’s “47 percent.”

WoW!!! Talk about stabbing the boss in the back. Paul Ryan is very good in that. His colleagues in the house should take note that Ryan cannot be trusted, especially Speaker Boehner should be careful of this guy. I have said this before and I will say it again.

When the dust settles down after Nov 6th, Romney will go back to his vacation home in New Hampshire or Alps, Switzerland. As for Paul Ryan, Ryan brand is very badly damaged with all his lies and exaggeration techniques.

AS RACE STANDS, OBAMA WITHIN REACH OF SECOND TERM
Posted on Sun, Sep. 30, 2012 07:14 AM

DES MOINES, IOWA — Five weeks to Election Day, President Barack Obama is within reach of the 270 electoral votes needed to win a second term. Republican Mitt Romney’s path to victory is narrowing.

To overtake Obama, Romney would need to quickly gain the upper hand in nearly all of the nine states where he and Obama are competing the hardest.

Polls show the president with a steady lead in many of them as Romney looks to shift the dynamics of the race, starting with their first debate Wednesday in Denver.

“We’d rather be us than them,” says Jennifer Psaki, an Obama spokeswoman. … Read more here:

===========================================

Yup, this is the October surprise. The righties thought they could fool people with their gazillionares and Koch Bros Poster boys.

Every time a Repub opens their mouth they put their foot in it. Lies, fears, and smears is all they have. Ooopsie, I forgot voter suppression.

Republican bumper sticker--> Cheat to win!

Mitt the Herman Munster ... yeah...a new name that will stick..will go national...even global...

Mitt and Herman look alike, but, for sure, Mitt is more a monster than Herman. Many of us love Herman Munster, but are repulsed by Mitt the Vulture

... hogs on ice...

Hey, Feisty ... that's my prerogative...the more appropriate formulation is ....

pig on ice... that's freedom...toward disaster ...with tinge of swine flu -

'pigs on ice' is to describe greedy pigs that hide their wealth in Cayman Island and destroy the Middle Class by outsourcing jobs.

Asked what missteps, Ryan immediately mentioned Romney’s “47 percent,”

What he didn't say was the republicon red-herring about voter fraud and the GOP states that passed laws leading to voter suppression. And then their own paid "consultants" are caught committing... voter registration fraud.

Laughable.

The Republicans are surrendering. He may have well just said, we aren't going to win. For all of the bravado leading into this campaign, it's starting to peter out rapidly. This with more than a month left is pretty pathetic.

Wait... the deaths abroad are not the fault of terrorist, but Obamas fault... however the thousands killed 9/11 were not Bush's fault, it was terrorist fault.

Hmmm. Seems legit.

Paul Lying says what?

......just some missteps - or already a lot of fatal suicidal moves

No wonder this country is in the tank.....people voting who have no business to......

and who in the hell are you to say who is qualified to vote? Really! Look amongst your ignorant homophobic tea party brothers and tell me if they're even educated enough to even read the ballots. C'mon Steve. Sounds like voter suppression is right up your alley.

Watching "This Week" right now. Haley Barbor is trying to pin the repub economy on Obama right now.

Matt Dowd is trying to be a centrist,.....OY.

Howard Dean comes out of the corner swinging. He says America will penalize obstructionism.

Laker-

LMAO. You get your news from Howard Stern? A show that is fake? 'nuff said!

Haley Barbor just summed up the entire republican governance performance:

"I can't answer your question."

Plop Ryan: "There have been some missteps, me for example and the Stench is

another good example, then our whole campaign and then just about everything

said or done. Oh, also, that A.A.R.P. convention in New Orleans and Clint

Eastwood and a couple of other little things that happened in Tampa. But, other

than that it's been just about pretty perfect. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to

run a marathon."

T. Money Trim/A Play Run-Clean up on aisle 2012!

In an ocean of missteps in this Republican 6th grade level presidential campaign, one of the biggest missteps was choosing Ryan to be on the ticket. The entire Republican Party of today is uninspiring, out of step, out of date and soooooo eager to just screw us all.

Ryan is a jerk. I can't think of any other word to describe him. A real jerk. And Romney is STILL unprepared. After all these years, the guy who was supposed to be "the one" to beat the president, didn't even bother to do his homework. It shows in his answers no matter what the topic. The journalists are brighter than he is. The bloggers are brighter than he is. The voters are brighter than he is.

That's because they paid attention. Romney never did. He never had to. He has all he ever wanted. Money.

So not only he is unprepared, he's uncaring and callous about most Americans. That's the world he inhibits and has always inhibited. He just happened to be the one to shine a light on how the other half thinks. None of the people in that 47% video showed an inkling of concern about the rest of America.

And to top it off, they then bring on an even bigger jerk to defend him - Chris Christie.

Every republican is the same - dishonest and full of it.

It shows in his answers no matter what the topic.

Hey Pat!

Ever notice how Willard usually starts off his answer with; "I don't know... but..."

WTF?

Hey, Feisty ... that's my prerogative...the more appropriate formulation is ....

Pigotry!

My bad! ;o)

I wasn't aware there was a secret...

With Ms. Feisty it is not a question of being the first, just being the best.

:o)

At least on Thursday Romney will finally be able to find his ass with his own two hands, After the President hands it to him on Wednesday night!

"MIS-STEPS":

Paul Ryan = the cruel, non-mathematical Ryan budget that the Catholic nuns and priests are hounding him about-

That gets rid of Medicare and Medicaid --

While adding $10Trillion to the Debt.

And while crying "Debt!" Romney would sign off on the Ryan budget asap, with his Norquistian "digits".

Romney's problem was that he selected a polarized demagogue as running mate.

People are not interested in the rabid republican agenda anymore.

The far right is wrong. Just is.

Unfortunately for repubs, Romney's knee-jerk reaction to this is to double-down even further on stupid.

For some reason they think it demonstrates non-vacillation, steadfastness, consistency.

But being a consistent idiot is not something America will pull a lever for.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2012

So you believe the people in this video should be voting? LOL....especially the lady who thinks Obama is running with Ryan this term.....hilarious.

First off, I didn't bother to open up your propaganda video. I don't have to because I know it's bullsh!t. Second and most important, yes anyone who is over the age of eighteen and is a legal citizen has the right to vote. It's in the Bill of Rights that this nation's principles were founded on. NOW, IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

“We've had some missteps, but at the end of the day, the choice is really clear and we're giving people a very clear choice,”

People, please don't be so hard on Mr. Ryan after all what he said is quite true. THE CHOICE IS BETWEEN SANITY AND INSANITY. What can be clearer.

For those few who do not understand;

SANITY = STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC TICKET

INSANITY = REPTEALLIAN TICKET

I do so hope this is clear enough :-}

Ryan's first misstep was to agree to be veep on a doomed ticket.

Do you even know the natue of Defense Contracting? There are times when the Contractor doesn't even know if they retained the ccontract until October 1st and they have to vacate within days. So I would say they didn't hav e reasonable time to prepare.

Laker-

The 'true' unemployment is actually lower than what's reported. People are being retrained and collecting UC (unemployment compensation) and aren't required to job search and they aren't. Also, those who live in states where unemployment checks are huge, are taking a nice long vacation and not job searching. I don't agree with that second category but that's what they are doing. So the unemployment number is probably around 5% of real people looking for a job and not finding one. Of those 5%, you have a bunch of people declining positions because they are 'holding out for management positions."

tempusfugit1

"Missteps"= NOTHING compared to Obama's "bumps in the road"

You have obviously not seen Romney's bump in the road .

Here it is--> http://media.caglecartoons.com/media/cartoons/10/2012/09/23/119139_600.jpg

Just glad neither Romney / Ryan are anything dispicable like Obama / Biden .

HaHaHa, It makes you laugh to post something THAT STUPID?

Well, HAHAHA right back! (I'm laughing at you, not with you.)

Ryan... “I don't try to be anybody other than who I am."....ouch - there's a slap at Romney. Mitt has tried to be all things to everyone, in the process of his fumbling ticked off his party, in addition to half of America - and their friends/family.

Obama 2012 - NO GOP votes this year.

And he wants to be our VP?

Think Progress:

For much of the general election, the Romney campaign has avoided any discussion of specifics, especially when it comes to the tax plan that he and Paul Ryan have put forward. On Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace gave Ryan an opportunity to finally talk about the details of his plan to a national audience, how much it will cost and how the Romney administration would pay for it.

RYAN: It’s revenue neutral.

WALLACE: But I have to point out, you haven’t given me the math.

Ryan: No, but you…well, I don’t have the time. It would take me too long to go through all of the math. But let me say it this way: you can lower tax rates by 20 percent across the board by closing loopholes and still have preferences for the middle class. For things like charitable deductions, for home purchases, for health care. So what we’re saying is, people are going to get lower tax rates.

Ryan has been the Republican vice presidential nominee for nearly three months, and has still not found the time to explain how a Romney administration would fund its tax plan of 20 percent deductions across the board. Perhaps that is because if he did, voters would balk at the cuts that would need to occur in programs like Medicare for the plan to remain revenue neutral.

Ryan’s refusal to talk specifics only lends further credibility to the various studies and reports that have found time to do the math. And as ThinkProgress has reported, those studies from non-partisan organizations show that the Romney/Ryan tax plan would actually result in a huge tax cut for the wealthiest Americans. And the only way to keep it revenue neutral is to balance their plan on the backs of middle class families, who would see a tax increase of more than $2,000.

Good morning red and a huge welcome back to Beverly as well!

Oh brother, Chris Christie is defending Mitt on Meet the Press, saying he did "not articulate well", and is proceeding to "translate" for us just what Mitt WAS trying to say. Ok, I'm supposed to be satisfied with a bevy of "GOP honking geese" trying to explain FOR Mitt what he is too inadequate to communicate on his OWN behalf?? Good grief, Mitt is just misunderstood, apparently.

NO GOP votes for 2012, they are a mess.

yahoo news: Ryan, speaking of his daughter whom he just bought hunting gear for:

"She's going to get to go hunting this year for the first time," Ryan said. "She's 10 years old, so she can hunt starting at 10.

Obama/Biden 2012

alan3008

How can this race have Obama ahead? Where are they taking the polls, the inner city areas of each state? What the hell are people thinking? Romney should be up at least by 75% to Obama's 25%.

Sounds like you are living in an hermetically sealed zone of ideology. Pour yourself a large stiff drink ... take a good long hard look at R&R ... do the right thing and vote left.

While reading over all these posts - I started to wonder what would happen if Ryan isn't voted for VP and/or Congressman? Probably that all is "math" didn't add up after all.

Wow the ultimate come down!

I always tell them Obama across the board... and yes, I lie. I do it on purpose and with good intent.

That's why the polls are so "SKEWED"! Brianb has personally skewed them so he can laugh after the election.

I have had several polling companies call my house

Sure you have! Can you name one?

JT-Not every Democrat is "Godless".
In fact, I used to be Republican. Up until about 28 years ago when they started acting like spoiled brats. Buying elections, voter supression and questionable voting tactics. Then the 8 years of Bush/Cheney which ripped the country apart, started the wars that everyone is blaming Obama for and sent the economy into the toilet so far that Obama has had to work twice as hard just to get to where we are right now. Bush/Cheney made sure the hole would be so deep that NO president could dig out of it, thus with a Repub congress they could do their best to make Obama a one time President. Well, now we are 37 days away. We have Herman Munster/Gilligan running a campaign that is such an absolute joke that I feel a movie will be made. Both of them are narcisisit and jerks and nobody wants to be around them or have them leading our country. So, the big plans to secure the oval office have failed for the Repugs again.

For the record, 47% that Mitt is talking about is probably just about the number of people he has fired from the companies that he has taken over, outsourced the jobs and closed the companies, all the while he HIMSELF keeping the job of actually telling the employee's they were fired. He didn't want human resources doing it. He wanted to do that himself. Interesting, don't you find it?

I also find it amazing that most of the people that I know that are for Mitt are people who have inherited a great deal of wealth. They aren't worried about upkeep on their homes, their car breaking down (because they have way more than one), their medical bills or other bills, or if they will have enough money to pay everything. I am happy for these people, but they don't live like I do. They don't worry everyday. They don't get it. Don't get it at all. I work everyday and I am not a "freeloader" or one of the "47%". (I just put that in because many of them like to post about the freeloaders and the 'entitled'")

If he sticks with his story on "being who he is," who in his right mind is going to vote to make the rich even richer at the expense of jeapardizing the health and safety of our most vulnerable citizens. The republican party doesn't think the middle class is worth educating, and the old and disabled will have to die whilst waving a useless, expired voucher in surrender.

Finally something I can agree with Brian B on...

NO shock there!

We've known it all along!

Thank you for finally admitting it! lol

George, thank you for your thoughts. There is no end to the deception in the GOP. What the media and Republican Party fail to understand is that the incompetence the GOP have displayed over the past several years is frightening to most of us.

This isn't about Romney getting a second life in this campaign.

This is about a party we don't want in the White House. The choice is crystal clear. The Republican Party of today is not fit to lead either America or an Administration on the economy, on worker's rights, on foreign policy or progressive issues.

That's the conclusion America has come to.

And I see Elizabeth Warren is ahead in the polls vs. Scott Brown. People here are so disappointed in Brown. Now they see him for what he really is - a con artist.

Warren would make a fantastic U.S. Senator. She is the one person, if given the chance in the Senate, who would work to ensure thaqt America was about we, the people, and not the lobbyists.

Romney is not a strong person. If he was, he would never have selected Paul Ryan and he sure as hell would never had signed the Norquist pledge. If he was any kind of leader, he would have told Norquist to go jump off a bridge. He never did that.

Romney is weak. Ryan is a liar. Scott Brown was bought.

Elizabeth Warren is everything they aren't.

She is the future.

Making sure unemployment never gets reported at the real 15% figure....Chicago style! http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2012/09/buying_voters_obama_style.html

Oh, that is a good one .. a blog calling itself americanthinker when it fact it is unthinkingamerican. But hey, you can always buy an americanthinker military cap.

This fun military cap has real charm (thanks in part to an unstructured design and a heavy enzyme pre-wash). Plus with modern touches like a Velcro closure and pre-curved bill, it also fits great. Made from a rugged chino twill fabric.

The inner lining is 100% tinfoil. Propeller on top is extra.

Brian, find a job yet? You know the GOP frowns on freeloading, right?

Don't worry...you'll have four more years to suck at the Government teat. At least President Obama wonlt take away your bennies like Ryan/Romney want to.

Gee, just think: If Ryan/Romney would get elected, what ever would you do?

With Ms. Feisty it is not a question of being the first, just being the best.

Hey GOPX... Baby!

How's the Birthday going so far?

PS: What was the final decision on dinner last night? ☺

Fabulous post Pat! I have been watching Elizabeth Warren for some time and was delighted to see her run for the Senate. Hopefully whe wins and her tenure is as long as Ted Kennedy's.

I am glad to hear Scott Brown's reputation has been sullied by his childish, hateful campaign. Nobody deserves it more

Elizabeth Warren 2012!

Yo Impotent - Advertising isn't allowed on this site. Suggest you delete your Fox TV advertisement post. At least we now know one thing that gives you a rise.

Thank you Wayne. People here just keeping talking about the road Brown has decided to go down and they are not happy at all. We are really feeling badly for what he has done to Warren.

But then that's what you get with a republican candidate these days when he has no record to run on.

He truly is a con artist.

You must enjoy the feeling of Obama having his whole arm up your butt.

Here comes BrianB once again, TMI on his Obama bromance fanatsies. That closet just keeps getting bigger and bigger. By the time that door bursts open, he will be demanding we call him Briana Banks.

“We've had some missteps, (says Ryan)

Ryan thanks God those misteps were in a cow pasture vs. a mine field. All they have is a bunch of bull @!$%# on their shoes, which they curiously enjoy flinging off onto the American public.

They always bury their heads in the sand. Don't be so stupid as they are.

Inform Yourself.

By watching Faux News? You're joking Right?

It is hard to believe that Brown opened his debate questioning Warren about her ancestory. Earlier this year Warren was down in the polls because of it, and now, thanks to Brown's racism and that of the members of his campaign staff, the issue has come back to hit Brown over the head.

Brown offers nothing to the people of Massachussets, and Warren is there for the middle class and the poor!

Having a boring morning RedDev? Can't find anything else to complain about? Turn on CNN, CBS, ABC or even NBC... watch one or two of the liberalized Sunday talk shows... Pick up some more liberal talking points and catch phrases... Give yourself some progressive ideas to share with your liberal friends while coming up with new bash points for the Romney campaign... why not... it's Sunday and all you can do is sit around and call me names... become enlightened... stop wasting your time.

The Democrats in congress worked and worked with the President on multiple job bills BUT the RYAN GOP has blocked everything.

The "DO NOTHING", 9% approved, GOP has been in CONTROL of congress with obstructions, filibusters (500+), lack of compromises, pledges, coercion and LIES.

UNDERSTAND the "DEFINITION and the DIFFERENCE" between "CONTROL and a MAJORITY".

If a MAJORITY is unable to pass legislation because the GOP stops and filibusters every single one, then who has the CONTROL?

The Democrats lost their "filibuster proof" majority in mid 2009 and the Repubican'ts gained the CONTROL.

Yet, the Republican'ts want you to believe that it is Obama who failed.

Republican'ts didn't work on any job bills...

Google republicanjobcreation

Liberal opinion IS fact just read them. "romney bad" "obama good". Do you guys think Romney will enact the FAIR housing act? How about auditing Fannie,Freddie? Those policies that you seem to think GW started which crashed the economy.

Predictable BrianB - slings out sexual innuendo, and when you hold up the fan to blow it back in his face, it is suddenly name calling. Poor pitiful Bri-Bri, the perpetual victim. No wonder he can't find a job. Who wants to hire a self-admitted liar and victim? They are the first in line to sue.

Nothing more pathetic than a pair of monkeys explaining why they fell outta the tree. Romney and Ryan, along with the entire GOP, are gonna have to learn to live within their own scatterings.

Brianb... When people who are honestly mistaken learn the truth, they will either cease being mistaken or cease being honest. Make a note of it, okay?

Impotent... Nice handle. A perfect description that says it all.

MISSTEPS????? JUMPING OFF A CLIFF AND TRYING TO TAKE THE NATION WITH YOU IS NOT A MISSTEP!

So republicans are caught committing voter registration fraud. Repubs are putting in place voter suppression laws across the nation with intent to stop anyone who would vote democratic party.

The repubs plan is to kill Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the post office, Planned Parenthood health care clinics,and the ACA health care.

Repubs wage war on women with banning the legal right to abortions and even in case of rape the woman would be a criminal if abortion took place from rapist impregnation of the woman, against women's equal pay,and against women's health care.

Repubs promise to kill studen'ts Pell Grant funding for going to college. Repubs blocked bill to keep student loan interest rates from staying at lower rate. Repubs target students with voter suppression laws as younger adults tend to vote democratic party.

Repubs blocked bringing offshore jobs bill giving tax breaks to companies who would bring jobs back to America, blocked the bill to remove tax breaks to companies taking jobs overseas.

Repubs voted against veterans jobs bill while vets are committing suicide at a record pace.

Repubs blocked the bill to end oil subsidies to big oil when big oil testified they did not need them.

Repubs even blocked the bill to give health care to 911 first responders who are getting sick and dying.......

Repubs plan to give tax breaks to the rich and make middle class pay for them. Repubs plan to cut food stamps for starving children and families and veterans benefits to give even more tax breaks to the rich. Repubs plan to end capital gains taxes on the rich allowing Romney to pay .82 % on his taxes....

And people should vote for republicons because of those accomplishments and those plans for our future....???????? REALLY? NO!!!!!!!!!!

Vote President Obama/Biden and team Democratic Party preserve all of the above!!!

“We've had some missteps, but at the end of the day, the choice is really clear and we're giving people a very clear choice,” Ryan said

Quite right, Ryan: the only rational choice is President Obama. Thanks for pointing that out.

Ryans' first misstep was accepting Romneys' invitation. Good for us. Sucks to be a republican.

Well, well, well ---Lyin Ryan finally told the truth -- although "some missteps" is a little like saying the NFL replacement refs made "some questionable calls."

If there are clear choices, then it is because the Dems have defined the Romney/Ryan platform. It's not good enough for the Repubs to claim that the Dems are wrong when they claim Romney will do such and such.

Lots of missteps. Like letting the Tea Party take control of the party. Then nominating Mitt Romney. And then picking Ryan as running mate. And then thinking he could shake all of his baggage by rebooting his campaign, which just plays into the existing narrative of Governor Etchasketch.

I don't doubt that Ryan doesn't have time to explain how his tax plan works, it would only take until Hell freezes over.

The GOP is one giant misstep.

When it comes right down to it, REPUBLICANS don’t give a DAM about the American people or this country. They just want to WIN at all and any costs.

I just rather enjoy that CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC are all lumped under the title 'liberal media'. I guess for you to be right, the whole world has to be wrong - what other answer could there be?

Who says you've got nothing in common with the Taliban?

Have fun in your sequestered echo-chamber of self-righteous elitism.

“I'm not really a line guy. I'm more of a gut guy,” Ryan claimed. “I don't try to be anybody other than who I am. I believe in what I believe. I do what I do. And I really believe in the policies we're providing, that we're pursuing. And at the end of the day, I'm just going to go in there and be me.”

Good for you Paul! I knew you wouldn't let us down! It's a comfort to know that you will continue your socialist record of bailing out Wall Street and banks for extremely bad, greed based behavior with the likes of TARP, TBTF and other money from the 53%. Why with your votes for the Bush tax cuts, two unfunded wars, along with the unfunded socialist Medicare Part D you need to let America know that with your fiscal hawkishness and Capitalist beliefs our nation will not have to face debt and deficit spending again. While your at it Paul, be sure to tell the American people how, after the 2010 mid-term elections you, Boehner and your other Conservative counterparts have created all those jobs you guys promised and ran on. Uh....how many jobs is that now Paul? Go ahead. From the gut now. Do what you do. Explain to us your what you believe with your "Path to Prosperity" and other lies and misrepresentations.

“We've had some missteps, but at the end of the day, the choice is really clear and we're giving people a very clear choice,” Ryan said in an interview with Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday...

That this comment was made on Fox tells a lot. I have to wonder however just what our choice is //or that Ryan believes it is.So far..everything that Romney and Ryan have talked about bode well for their wealthy friends but bad for the middle class and this nation. Just how do deeper tax cuts pay down a debt that was given to Obama by the republican party and Bush.? Personally, I do not see how any one becoming president after Bush would have been able to bring under control the mess that Bush and his buddies caused by two wars that he did not see fir to pay for..and the tax cuts he gave to his wealthy friends. And now we have Romney claiming he can do better..but still wants even deeper tax cuts..His trickle down economics will be even worse than Bush's...

I got news for ya Ryan, you couldn't "misstep" any worse, if you went on "Dancing With the Stars" with Gov.Chris Christie as your partner. At least on that show, it would be real... you couldn't make it up as you go along, by lying your ass off. Let's hope after Nov 6, Rep. Ryan looks for new line of work... outside of politics

Ryan admitting the GOP has made missteps in the campaign is like him admitting that he is white. It's intuitively obvious to the most casual observer.

Don't worry about a couple of missteps, Mr Ryan. Obama's last four years have been a continuous series of missteps....and outright blunders.

P Roberson, you actually admit to watching Dancing With the Stars?.....bwahahaha!

The Romney campaign has had more missteps than a drunken centipede!

Happy B-Day BCWC, sorry I am late, I have not had much time to post, supervising a big contract in PA, been working long hours and traveling a lot, it's nice to be home for the weekend.

I see the Gov of NJ claims everything will turn around fot Romney after the first debate, I seriously doubt that, Romney has taken every position possible on every issue in his political career, I believe I could take him apart in a debate.

I have no respect for Ryan, the stench coming from his mouth is enough to make you throw up, this loser was booed out of the AARP convention. Seniors don't like him and don't believe a word he says, it's clear Ryan is a Phony !!!!!!!!!!!

The whole campaign has been NOTHING but mis steps. However, we want to thank Vulture/Voucher and the ENTIRE GOP for being part of the Obama reelection committee!

Obama/Biden 2012.

Hey Bucket, I also know the secret for #1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hasn't the ENTIRE campaign for Romney/Ryan been one collossal mistep? Have they said anything they haven't had to step back from? Have they told the truth - outside of the 47% comment? And, it's embarrassing that they actually believe our military men and women; our seniors; our disabled; are worthless individuals who they lump into the 47%. This duo has no values at all. What despicable excuses for human beings!

Obama/Biden 2012

Miss Step???? Almost looks like the Texas two step.....just less coordinated.

"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to take care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it."

This was not a mere gaffe, this was no different than blaming a woman of having being raped. Republicans offer absolutely NO coherent solutions other than to insult and punish the woman of having been raped. It is being beyond revolting.

tonybeeerm: First they had hanging chad in the GOP candidate's brother's state that caused the 2000 election to have to go to the Supreme Court along with other inconsistancies. Then, the inconsistancies in the voting in 2004 - I personally saw 110% of an ohio precinct be reported on TV in that election - which also had the people who ran the voting machines come out to say they supported the GOP candidate. The 2008 election was being watched closely, but GOP said they were confidant that they would win. Now there are all these GOP sponsored election "reforms" which smack of jim crow laws. I see comments more and more like Laker Steve's which shows that they've bought into the whole GOP entitlement ideology.

Paul Ryan said the reason for the alleged missteps can be blamed on liberal bias of the news .. if they get any bad press its because all the news is biased and news people tend to be liberals .. Kinda like Palin saying she gets nothing from the liberal biased news people but GOTCHA questions

Ryan continued. “It was an inarticulate way to describe what we’re trying to do to create prosperity and upward mobility, and reduce dependency by getting people off welfare back to work.”

Blackcatwhitecat: There was no Obama apology tour. Urban legend dude - probably GOP generated like the rest of the Obama urban lies - such as not being born in the US, Obama is a Muslim, among others.

Laker Steve: Every American citizen has the right to vote unless that right has been curtailed legitimately - such as incarceration. The law does not specify that you have to have knowledge of anything - you don't even have to be able to read. Moreover, if someone has a legitimate need - such as not being literate or not speaking English, they can choose someone to go with them into the voting booth. It's in the law and any law that deprives an American citizen that right other than something legitimate such as being convicted and incarcerated, is against their constitutional right. A point many GOP states did not take into concideration. After the election, there will probably be many lawsuits that say these states prevented legitimate voters from voting. I hate to see how THAT'S going to turn out.

Freedomofspeechrules: How right you are. I've heard about Dept of Labor employment specialists going into an unemployment office to tell of jobs being interviewed and hired for in the next room. All they had to do was to get up and walk into the next room and they'd be guaranteed an interview with a 99% chance of getting a $15/hr full time permanent job, and no one went. They were laid off of $65/hr jobs and only want to get $65/hr jobs - ain't gonna happen, even if the economy wasn't in the tank. The issue isn't that there AREN'T jobs - there are many jobs. The issue is that there AREN'T jobs that the unemployed want to do, and as long as they keep letting them get unemployment, they are going to turn jobs down. I was on unemployment many years ago, and I was told that if I turned down any job, I would lose my unemployment - why isn't that being done now?

So, If Obama is winning in November, why is he looking at purchasing a $35 million retirement estate in Hawaii?

If Obama is so good for our recovery, why are investors preparing to hunker down for more regulations?

I guess they fianlly got the jacket back on Brainb. I hope he is resting peacfully since they put him back in his "room"

DB Akron

If Obama is so bad for corporations why has the stock market doubled during his tenure?

If putting money into the pockets of rich people and corporations is good for job creation why is it that jobs are not being created when rich people and corporations have more money than at any time in the history of the world (our present situation)?

So, If Obama is winning in November, why is he looking at purchasing a $35 million retirement estate in Hawaii?

Why is it that you base so many of your decisions on right wing rumors and conspiracy theories?

If Obama is so good for our recovery, why are investors preparing to hunker down for more regulations?

Another rumor, but besides that what is the evidence that investors are "hunkering down"? We have just finished a very strong 3rd quarter in the stock market. Hunkering? I don't think so.

Republicans are all the same, and they stick together, which is why nothing has gotten done since they took control of Congress. We shouldn't be surprised they succeeded in being the worst Congress in 50-60 years...that takes commitment folks!

VOTE A STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC TICKET THIS YEAR!!!!!

VOTE AS MANY REPUBLICANS OUT OF CONGRESS AND SENATE AS POSSIBLE!!!!

Funny how so many go on the rampage about the 16 trillion dollar debt and yet support the man who want's to cut revenue 5 trillion. Too much credit card debt? Quit your second job, that should fix it.

Most of those same people who whine about the debt also assume that it's due to Obama's spending, when the fact is he has spent less than all other presidents over the last 60 years. The reason the debt rose as much as it did the last four years is mainly due to loss of revenue (taxes) because of employement/economy.

Polls are notoriously wrong when it comes to presidential elections. Let me give you an example. I have had several polling companies call my house. You'd think I would tell them Romney across the board. Well think again. I always tell them Obama across the board... and yes, I lie.

Well, there you have it! For weeks, Brianb has been saying that polls are skewed to Obama. When asked for details... nothing! He claims that some polls are oversampling Democrats by 12%. When asked for details or a source... nothing!

But now, we have the answer! Brianb is personally responsible for all the skewing!

Name which polls have called you, Brianb, so I can be sure to discount those polls when I research them. I fully expect the same answer I always get from you... nothing!

Hahahahaha!

debnran-

You can only turn a job down for certain reasons.....here's a couple that I'm aware of but I'm sure there's more.

1. The job is too far from your house. (not sure how far they consider too far)

2. It's a certain percentage of pay lower than what you were making before. (not sure what the percentage is). $65/hr to $15/hr. wound most certainly qualify as being allowed to decline. Personally, I think that criteria should only be allowed for the first 6 months then they must take anything they can get.

One of the big problems is they aren't monitoring the job search of the unemployed because it's too big a task and not enough employees at the labor dept. You are supposed to turn in a job search form listing what jobs you applied for, name of company, address, phone number, position applied for, etc.. No one is calling to verify any of this so the unemployed can just make it up. If they don't have the man power to spot check these job search forms they should at least be doing it after someone has been unemployed for 6 months but that would require hiring people to do it.

He's not kidding. The choice is clear, and Romney/Ryan has made it clear.

Unfortunately it doesn't mean what he thinks it means.

While some of the things he (Ryan) is mentioning can certainly be described as political misteps. A referrendum of TEA Party policies ( No womens Health Care, Voucher Medicare, Privitizing S.S, Coporate tax cuts, austerity measures on middle class/poor) remains to be what is really going on here. Romney/Ryan and the entire GOP Party remains in denial about it......to their own political peril. It's their delusion that an American TEA Party is the mainstream.......

Missteps? More like the hokey pokey, Lying Ryan. You are a joke.

Love, Swing State Voter

and the kicker:

The 10 states with the highest percentage of people not having to pay income tax (you know, the 47%), are all republican states. It seems that Romney not only insulted half of the country, but he insulted over half of his own base.

We've had some missteps

Only if you count bounding from landmine to landmine with both feet as "some missteps"!

tempusfugit1

"Missteps"= NOTHING compared to Obama's "bumps in the road" of four murdered Americans on US Embassy soil and the cover-up and 9/11/12 extra chaos in the Middle east. Complete and total incompetence from Obama, Clinton, Rice on down.

Tell me Tempusfug...how would compare Obama's "bumps in the road"comment to GW Bush's Iraq war that killed over 4,000 American Service Members. And before you go into your "blame Bush" rant there's a reason I bring it up. Romney has hired the GW Bush's neo-conservative advisers.

If you liked GW Bush...you'll love Romney/Ryan

I love all the spin you respond to from your puppetmasters at nbc and mediamatters, their master. Actually, the visceral disgust and even fear about obama is changing a lot of minds and you will be truly suprised at the election outcome.

Au contraire, you and your right wing friends will be surprised to find all the sh!t coming back in their faces election night. Face it; it's over. Your Republican leaders have all but said they have lost. They are just going the motions to run the clock down.

The RepubliCONs know a broken clock is right 2x a day. Believe it; your party is fractured.

Obama/Biden 2012

BTW: I love your derelict right wing nut behaviors too. Particularly, Todd Akin, Michelle Batwoman, Pin up cheese cake Senator Brown's relentless racist behavior's and of course; multifaced MYTH Romney.

Better put Carol, let´s get rid of republicans at Congress and House levels so Obama can do his thing without republicans obstructions, without republicans there most likely now we could be having a 2% unemployment. Remember when Obama asked for the entire country roads and bridges reconstructions and the GOP said no, that´s too good for you and bad for us (reps) and then the f...ing Tea Pary and GOP together rejected the outstanding Obama plan. Remember that and since that worked for them by having control of the House, they started to reject everything else and that is the reason why your liberal friends and family are terrified of the economic (reps) ruin.

Gee carol I don't know any of my conservative friends who don't want him around. Oh wait I am just lying through my teeth like you. Go back to Fox News and pretend that our economy and foreign outlook has not gotten better under Obama.

If the republicans had run a legit candidate who made the case he can do the job better I would certainly entertain the idea. But they have not, and the American people are not fooled. There is no poll with Romney winning the presidency, and only one that he is ever even competitive on the national level. That one just so happens to have very flawed polling techniques.

I would suggest that you will be the one who is surprised at the upcoming election results, but lets be honest you know damn well Obama is going to win and it just tears you up inside.

Get over it. If it is so bad no one is forcing you to stay.

It is shocking, the fear-mongering and vitriol pouring from those who embrace the GOP's current heroes.

I'm the only person on the planet doing what I do, and it's at my discretion to do it or not. And I just may start asking political affiliation before taking orders.

The republican party has fallen so low, you have to look under a rock to see it.

The cast of candidates for this election was the worst bunch to ever hit the stage.

The T-party line "Let's take America back" sums it all up. They want to take America back to the dark ages and take it away from American Citizens.

Remember corporations are people too!

Obviously, Carol prefers puppet candidate Romney. When it comes to foreign affairs, Romney is the yes man for Netanyahu, and for domestic affairs, he is the yes man to Norquist and ALEC. Carol may as well write a Netanyahu/Norquist ticket.

Priceless Bev (BTW - welcome back). No wonder the GOPTP is so hell-bent on enacting zygote right-to-life bills. Their devolvement is dependent upon it.

Hey Laker... Could that be JUST like BUSH and the TRUE deficit during his term?? Seems he just couldn't bring himself to putting the true cost of his wars into the budget.. that pesky war... bazillions of dollars and not on the books... If a bank did that, they would be taken over and closed down... SOOO if you want to start talking truth in governmental figures...... Have at it.

I think their biggest misstep has been trying to sell the 99% a plan that only benefits the 1%. Even the dumbest Americans are starting to wake up and smell the GOP. You can't buy guns if you have no job! You can't tithe if you have no money. You can't raise you're family to be righteous adults with values if you can't feed and clothe them and provide them with a home. If you need a job to survive then Romney is not your man. If you already have millions then vote GOP.

Ryan will be the down fall of Romney, I feel sorry for Mitt picking a pinhead like Paul !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Romney campaign is struggling, and we already know that movement conservatives are planning to blame a Romney loss, if it happens, on Romney himself, for his alleged lack of conservative purism.

The debates are about who is the better leader, not who has the best policy's, showing warmth and passion and an ability to connect with people is key, Sorry Romney.

Ryan will be the down fall of Romney, I feel sorry for Mitt picking a pinhead like Paul !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Romney's his own downfall, Ryan just adds to his pain. Gilligan thinks stench is holding him back but in reality neither is fit to be president or vice president.

No supporters left? I see people trashing the left, calling Obama names, cut-and-paste marathons, but NO support for Romney himself.

That's because Romney has not given us anything to support! So far, Romney's only campaign platform is "I'm not Obama!"

That's not enough to win elections. It is not going to continue in the debates. Obama/Biden will pin down Romney/Ryan and dig for specifics. If they are not forthcoming, it will be a gamechanger, all right!

And this year's winner of the "understatement of the year award"... Paul Ryan! "There's been some missteps in the campaign."

And this year's winner of the "understatement of the year award"... Paul Ryan! "There's been some missteps in the campaign."

The far right on here always point to the over sampling of democrats when every time they do a poll of 100 random people more people identify as democrat than republican. Maybe it's because people identify with the policies of the party they currently support rather than what they signed up as 30 years ago. The republican party in no way resembles the party as it was 30 years ago. Romney better present more than trust me at the debates or he's toast.

Its not just tearing up the country its hurting families and your entertained. Your attitude is just as much a loser as the GOP ticket.

If I was still Republican, I'd be beyond the crying, onto furious with R&R.

Of course, I'd be mercilessly posting ANYTHING to trash Obama. War ain't over.

Sounds like they're throwing the white flag here. And it doesn't mean that there's one lap remaining either.

I'm not sure how to act. Minus ammo, there cannot be a war.

Minus an enemy? That's only called victory.

Thirty-seven days. 37. Weeks. We should be at all-out axe-handles and Mace by showtime. It's a wonder any voice from their camp shows up here now, hat's off to 'em.

Dedication to an ideal. I admire that.

Well at least Lyin-Ryan was correct about one thing: they do offer fot voters a CLEAR choice...............Do you want to increase support for our starving millionaires or do you want to lose your health care..............err I guess you would get both with those two, right?

“We've had some missteps, but at the end of the day, the choice is really clear and we're giving people a very clear choice,” Ryan said in an interview with Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday.

It's crystal clear Paul. Hopefully the voters will give YOU a choice.

Retirement or relocation to some fascist country.

They are going to take your health care? I did not see where they said that. If all of the lefts fear mongering were true, how come there is no one in the street now because of the evil gop in congress?

This just in,,,,, Obama-Biden in a landslide 2012.

Well I see the MSM is doing business as usual..

Never mind Benghazi Gate.....Never Mind the Blood on the hands of Mr. "COOL"Nope its all ANTI ROMONEY/Ryan all the time. 2 faced bastards

Honestly, I'd rather lose with the quality decent people of Character on The right

The fact that the Obama Democrat voters accept this disgrace & slaughter of Americans because they thrive on HATE proves how low the Democrat party has gone since the Divider n Chief became their Messiah.

Love2troops, not to worry... you are a real loser. So you're in good company with that "Christian Right" party of yours. Which, by the way is neither

"We've had some missteps, but at the end of the day, the choice is really clear and we're giving people a very clear choice,” Ryan said in an interview with Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday."

Maybe if republicans want to win again they'll offer a 3rd choice. One that represents the republican main stream instead of the far right. The only reason this election is even close is the anti Obama hatred. They couldn't get a vote on what Romney and Ryan propose they have to stick to Obama hate. Even many republicans admit that if a moderate democrat was running it'd be no contest.

Good strategy/tactic, when all else fails you, TP/GOP, R/R then blame the MSM. Ignore reality, blame the media. Ignore your lame policies, blame the media. Ignore your disgust with the 47% who are soldiers in combat, retirees who hoped they wouldn't have to work all their lives, the children 18 and younger, just blame the media.

Reality has a Liberal Bias.

It's not Romney and Ryan not expressing their beliefs, it's the media ignoring what they say and going after every misstep or even inventin mishaps. Obama is avoiding doing anything or expressing his honest beliefs because he knows that it will not be excepted by anyone that's not an Obamasite. Obama has been hiding from view and only going on Obama friendly interviews. And remember, the media kisses his ass and protects him never bringing to light his mishaps.

Nonsense. The biggest issue is how Romney will pay for his 5 trillion dollar tax cut or better asked who'll pay for it? Maybe you can enlighten us as Romney won't. Pretending Obama is hiding is ridiculous, he's all over the place and answers what he's asked. You may consider him favoring friendly media outlets but surely note Romney's reliance on Fox. Or do you think Fox is a liberal network? Maybe the media doesn't focus as much on Obama's, "mishaps" as you think they should because it's only the right wingers who consider using a common term like bump in the road as some outrageous scandal. Take off your rose colored glasses and maybe you'll see the truth.

He should have never released all those pics of himself in climbing gear, now we only think of him as a mountaineer. NOT!

Even now, let alone after the election, Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney would have the biggest grossing Pay-Per-View in history, three rounds.

I'm not sure which to hang more of this debacle on.

"Missteps". . ."misspoke". "Mis" is the norm for Lying Ryan. I'll be glad when we miss him!

Unmotivated: raised by his grandparents, Barack Obama worked hard and earned an excellent education, a law degree, wrote best-selling books, was elected to be Senator, and later was elected as President of the United States.

Dependent: Only upon rational American voters to reelect him...a done deal, by the way.

Or were you referring to ol' Willard, Julio?

Whats funny is IF Obama wins Most Republicans will be OK.

We have worked saved lived within our means & made plans for the future.

Many (including myself) are already investigating where to LEGALLY put their Life Savings to keep Obams greedy little hands off of it.

Many (like myself) will quit working and

place the Tax burden on Obama Democrats! They want 4 more years of an Obama economy in the toilet....LET US HELP :)

All Republicans aren't Rich but MOST Republicans aren't stupid either.

Julio is NOT down by the school yard me thinks. In fact, I doubt he's been close to one since he was about 10 yrs old. And Love2troops, with you as an example...I would disagreed on republican intellectual capability

The psychological benchmark will be that the only people who will be voting for Rmoney/Lyan will be dedicated Republicans and certified loonies.

The certified loonies will be determined by their Flat Earth opposition to Evolution, except that the true honest Evangelicals won't vote for Rmoney/Lyan since they know that Mormons and Catholics "aren't Real Christians."

I cannot wait for the exit polls that will explain Obama/Biden's re-election because so many Evangelicals didn't vote or voted for "None of the Above."

If you scrape the BS away from Love2troops' post, it appears he is throwing in the towel. Good.

Republicans will elect Obama by directly voting for him. My wife's another.

Making missteps is usually associated with something that is later successful. He's a bit early in his evaluation.

Romney and Ryan: Opens mouth, bull@!$%# spews.

Bucket, I saw this awhile back and I just can't support them anymore, It's become more of a Cult following than the best interest of this nation, My right is not to support them until they change directions, Even though I am not 100% for the Obama path, It's a lot more in the direction this country needs.

The whole Republican party has lost their freaking mind and has turned into a bunch of brain dead spineless followers, God you people are pathetic.

Republicans for Obama

I don't need the GOP to tell me what type of Government I want!

If you think about it, Romney and Ryan both have painted a picture of a government literally turned over first day, rubble everywhere.

Without some more detail on the structure to replace it, who could OK the wrecking ball?

Your exactly right and when you look at the tear down of specifics it's scary.

1) Repeal Obamacare .....that Now Mitt is starting to embrace

2) Tear down of Medicare and Social Security......

and these are just 2 of them

I have worked my whole life and paid over 240,000 into SS and Medicare, thats not an entitlement that's ownership and It becomes every President's duty to see it through for the next generation and see it's survival, not it's destruction.

The whole Republican party has lost their freaking mind and has turned into a bunch of brain dead spineless followers, God you people are pathetic.

Republicans for Obama

I don't need the GOP to tell me what type of Government I want!

I have always been independent. I voted for Bush the first time because I felt Al Gore was a nutjob. I feel even stronger to that end today. I voted for John McCain because I felt Obama had a lack of experience, and McCain is a solidly bi-partisan candidate.

But this is not even a choice. Mitt is not just a nutjob, he is an imbecile and the poster boy of what is wrong with todays CEO mentality. The right wing has let Koch and Murdoch lead them down a path of destruction. I only hope those republicans who still believe in the true values of republican ideals (like free economy WITHOUT corporate handouts, fiscal responsibility and stronger state/weaker federal government) reform.

Mitt feels only an idiot would pay more taxes than he can weasle out of... not taking every opportunity to screw over Uncle Sam does no make you an idiot you jackass, it makes you a patriot! But in true form he flip flopped anyway and payed slightly more than he had to this year.

Jay... "Republicans for Obama""I don't need the GOP to tell me what type of Government I want!"

You sound like a Real Republican. You're obviously not a 'tea-bagger.' I find it hard to believe, as I'm sure you do, that they used to be the party of my grandfather, Dwight Eisenhower and Abraham Lincoln. How the mighty have fallen, eh?

jay - joe -you may be Republicans (BS) but you sure as hell aint no Conservative

I suspect you are just another Obama Leftest POSER - LIAR

Its a tried a true tactic of the left...PRETEND TO BE a Republican to give yourself credibility lol If you guys are GOP I'm f**king 8 Ft Tall........

Nothing is too slimy for the average Obama Democrat.

Sam-3910152

I used to be a Republican and had faith in the GOP concepts of rationality and responsibility and government based upon constructive economics even when the John Birch Society tried to take over.

The current Faux-fed lies are even more absurd and more dangerous.

Ozzy: And yet you complain about lies and as other right wing posters you spout nonsense but don't dispute a single so called lie. If someone lies, point out the lie and back it up with a link. Quoting Hitler and Goebbels may fit right in with the right wing rhetoric. Instead of bashing liberals with absurd quotes how about defending Romney and show how what he plans is better for America. Nazi Germany failed, forget Hitler and Goebbels they're never coming back. Romney and Ryan is as close as you've got and they aren't electable.

Paul Ryan's potential is every bit as real as the Romney Tax Theft story that was used to break the news cycle that was eviscerating Ryan over his Marathon and mountain climbing claims.

Whew.

Mark-4055881

People seem to forget just how bad things were when Bush left office. I can't believe the polls are as close as they are.

Unfortunately, 47% of voters will vote for Romney no matter what. That includes about 50% of that OTHER 47% who don't pay federal income taxes, which means that roughly 23% of voters don't even care what Romney says about them behind their backs when he doesn't know somebody in the "servant class" is recording what he says to his wealthy campaign donors.

Mark: People seem to forget just how bad things were when Bush left office. I can't believe the polls are as close as they are.

Well, is it because their 401k's ext. have improved to the point where people forget da Dub's handy work.

OMG you have to google it and watch! If it wasn't so frightening it would be Funny.

But everyone must see this! Just to get a grasp of what the average Democrat Voter has to offer ~ It will make your JAWS drop..

Obama Dems = Elitist Worthless Hollywood - Greedy Union Thugs - Government workers who fleece the tax payers - Greenies (who get billions) and

When terrorists set off a bomb in Lebanon and killed 299 marines Reagan packed up and left bombing no one. Obama never apologized, only right wing nuts who listen to Faux and Limbaugh believe the right wing nonsense.

I think Hillary would be a great candidate in 2016. I voted for Obama in the primaries, but I would have been happy if she had won the 2008 nomination and went on to become president four years ago.

I am ready to vote for Hillary right now.

Obama/Biden 2012

So would I, Houston. But, by 2016 Hilary will be 69 years old and may not feel up to it. I hope she will, but at our age four years can change you a lot.

Not to worry okie joe - We have Elizabeth Warren - she just has to beat that idiot Scott Brown

Hope she takes his scalp - just figuratively of course

Just as an aside - why are all of the idiots named Scott?

Romney probably spent 10's of thousands of dollars having Price Waterhouse comprise a summary of all his previous tax returns. Considering he already had copies of his previous 10 years that he submitted to McCain to vet him it seems quite an effort. The devils in the details. What's he hiding?

I'll have that kind of inarticulate. Got brains instead. :(

Ryan is literally condoning the comments, too. He's not apologizing to that 47% at all. His words are all carefully rehearsed, careful to not rile any TeaBaggers!

jim from mexico

does inarticulate mean HE WHO STEPS ON ONE'S OWN D_CK?

Could be the tongue as in MYTH Romney's case. Every time he says LIBYA the tongue grows longer and longer.

This is the END of the Reagan era. The people, as slow and dim as they are, have finally realized they have been played for fools for 30 years. It is over.

I've noticed a stark change in Republicans, especially Joe Scarborough, over the past 6 months or so, they are transitioning from the "Ronald Reagan was the greatest president ever"meme to "George H.W. Bush was the best and most qualified."

I suspect that a large part of that is the reality that Reagan's policies have really hurt America and Republicans no longer want to be as closely aligned.

Yes it's really tough making Romney look bad.........Rolls eyes.

I'll vote for Obama again so Romney can't tax me to death to pay for his 5 trillion dollar tax cut for the rich.

Has Ryan said anything about letting them eat cake?

Lords of the Manor always have a hard time grasping the lives of the peasants!

Forget about Romney and Ryan: they are little more than haircuts worth 250 million bucks.

Hahaha ok Carol whatever

The whole Republican party has lost their freaking mind and has turned into a bunch of brain dead spineless followers, God you people are pathetic.

Republicans for Obama

I don't need the GOP to tell me what type of Government I want!

Jay, I offer specific reasons you offer weird and silly failure.

Republicans are definitely the more warlike*, unreasonable**, and wanting to have any conflict now and not care about the costs***.

*Every Republican President in my lifetime has conducted a war.

**See: Grover Norquist.

***Per Paul Ryan's voting record.

The GOP is a party in decline, bereft of ideas, choked by a deviant puritanical ideology, and composed of leaders who are completely out of touch with modern America.

Carol your criticism of the democras falls flat. Your criticism of the above posts is right on. This reign of terror here is total self-stimulatuion. I can remember a time not long ago that it was the other side that was having its gluttonous oink fest on here. Well that was untill the nomination. People were convinced they could win with any candidate, but this isn't 08, not just anything will do. There isn't two cultures on here, there's different kinds of people, and many people are brute mob members when the oppotunity arises, while the rest of us stay home. The negatives of the republican candidates coupled with the failed economic ideology they espouse is the reason they won't be elected. Not becuase there is some liberal propaganda machine, it is reality. World war would surely loom if Romney was elected. Calling deomocrats unrealistic about what they want is pure hypocrisy, lets see huge increase in spending for the military, restoring former might, and a 20% tax cuts, which can't be quantified.

Carol... "World war would surely loom if Romney was elected." Brilliant statement. Pardon my asking but... on what planet do you reside?

"Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding. Force always attracts men of low morality."

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." Albert Einstein

Jim, Santa Cruz... "choked by a deviant puritanical ideology" Righty-O, amigo. Here's what Menken thought: "Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy." H.L. Menken

Carol... Endless war would be good for outfits like Kellogg-Brown-Root, Halliburton and Blackwater though, eh? I trust you know what "businesses" they're in, don't you?

Carol298145 - I try very hard not to read the VILE HATRED that is spewed from Obama Democrats! Like you said ... You can tell by how they post what caliber of people they are. Besides, its a tried and true tactic of LEFTEST DISHONEST DemocRATS ~ If they can keep YOU in a pissing contest with them

Then YOU will not get your voice heard. Hell, look how they shout down or vandalize or gang up on anyone who is not a LEFTEST DEM.

Look how they treat BLACK Republicans....Dems are the biggest bigots I've ever seen. Oppressive/Selective/ Tolerance

They don't want EQUAL RIGHTS THEY want SPECIAL RIGHTS and they want American Christians to STFU lol Truly, ignore them least their HATE & BIGOTRY rub off on you my decent fellow American :)

Jay, I offer specific reasons you offer weird and silly failure.

Carol: No actually you don't. You offered numerous insults with anyone who disagrees with your point of view certainly nothing specific as to how Romney is better than Obama. When right wingers can explain how cutting revenue 5 trillion dollars is the way to fix a 16 trillion dollar debt maybe I'll listen. Right wing rants that say nothing except that anyone who doesn't agree with you is an idiot isn't compelling proof your way is the better one. Do you even know what Romney plans or how his plans are better? I've found what he stands for on Tuesday may be different on Thursday.

Because some people truly believe things that we don't, and we should let them, at the end of the day*.

Note that Paul Ryan used this term. In his context, it's an admission of blind hope in the face of sure defeat.

"At the end of the day, OJ will be set free." I'd heard. Nope, wrong.

Carol, both the Republican and Democrats hold Republicans to a higher standard. Democrats are allowed to lie and mislead the people while the Republicans hold themselves to the greater good of America.

Yes Ozzy clearly the republican party wouldn't stoop to lying. Below from Fox news. It wasn't democrats that pretended Obama made a comment when he was repeating what McCain said or continously leaving out parts of comments that distorts the meanings it's republicans.

On the other hand, to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention to facts, Ryan’s speech was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech. On this measure, while it was Romney who ran the Olympics, Ryan earned the gold.

Nice try, Bill. You choose a pathological liar who obstructed and diminished threats in Libya that cost lives of good people. You accept and endorse an administration that has ruined trust and broken faith with allies we need. From Europe to rogue nations, we have cut our ties in a way that endangers us all. We don;t get good intel anymore-no one trust this administration. We are on the verge of economic collapse due to obama's derelection of duty, failed policies and arrogant refusal to do what it takes to fix the economy. Dems like you ignore the impending disaster and think only of your own bubble-world needs. Sorry, in 4 years there won't be any jobs for unions, no liveable wages, and we will be a third world nation. All thanks to silly selfish people who were willing to be lied to and pandered to.

(Possible) FACT: R&R's numbers will go UP if they bring Palin on board RIGHT now to help them campaign.

They'll still lose, but look on the bright side: the book deals will be stellar.

Carol, I suggest you read this:

The Capitalist Manifesto

The goal of every successful Capitalist is concentrate the wealth among the most deserving and entitled: the privileged class. The two methods for accomplishing these goals are diametrically opposed: 1) increase the number of consumers in a market and maximize their buyer power by creating higher paying positions for the proletariat, providing benefits and security to maximize discretionary spending, and increase the likelihood for improved upward mobility, or 2) provide all of the advantages to the most deserving: the capitalists that are create jobs and opportunities, and maximize profits by decreasing wages, decreasing tax obligations, decreasing supply of jobs, increasing demand for jobs, and eliminate the stifling governmental regulations that prevent corporations from implementing all of their plans despite concerns for health or the environment. Although history has proven that the former is more successful for lifting all classes of workers, this does not work to the exclusive benefit of the Capitalist, so the latter must be employed. The Capitalist Class must use the system to their advantage in every way possible.

Reduce wages, Maximize profits

Union busting: The greatest threat to concentration of wealth is the ability for the workers to gather their collective powers and leverage a lack of productivity to the benefit of the proletariat class. Instead, the Capitalist must use their vast resources to consolidate their political power against the majority, pit the workers against themselves, and prevent them from being able to overthrow the upper class.

Low education: The second greatest threat to the successful concentration of wealth is an educated electorate and working class. An educated or skilled working class will demand greater benefits, amenities, and will be able to leverage their skills to obtain employment elsewhere if needed. Instead, the Capitalists must ensure that the working class does not have the option for upward mobility. Paramount to this is preventing education.

Make College unaffordable – Reduce the number of highly skilled and qualified employees by eliminating Pell Grants and Federally Subsidized loans, and ensure that only the privileged and the absolute brightest will have the ability to obtain college educations. For those diligent enough to secure the loans make the crushing debt so cumbersome that they will be forced to accept any position and conditions in order to have the ability to pay off their loans. Extract human workforce and maximize profits.

Larger class sizes, fewer opportunities - By reducing the ability for teachers to properly educate their students, you increase the likelihood that the students will fail to develop cognitive reasoning and other skills that could unseat the Capitalists. In addition, an uneducated workforce will not be accepted to college, and will result in menial jobs with unbearable conditions. By maintaining a desperate need for work, and by reducing the worker’s options, they have no choice but to accept whatever fate the Capitalists offer.

Privatize Education – There will forever be a constant demand for education, and the working class will always seek opportunities to advance their progeny’s fortunes. The Capitalist Class must exploit these sensibilities and use all means necessary, including government funding, to create “charter schools” that offer the specter of better opportunities, but do not have any standardized methods of measuring success.

Eliminate migrant workers: Illegal immigrants are an excellent source of cheap labor and are typically very easy to manipulate through Capitalist services such as: High Cost Check Cashing Services, Pay Day Loan operations, and High-Fee Wire Transfer services. However they tend to vote against the Capitalist’s best interests so these workers must be marginalized. Instead, these workers should be outlawed. The Capitalist Class must take the existing population of legal citizens and convert them into desperate workers.

Increase family sizes, decrease options: A family without the ability to regulate the number of children that they have, will become beholden to whatever vocations they can arrange, and will be less likely to make demands of their employers or complain when wages or hours are reduced. An expanding family with more mouths to feed results in a more desperate class of workers that is easier to manipulate. The natural urge for sexual activity cannot be repressed, instead family planning tools such as birth control and abortions must be outlawed. Although it is not the Government’s role to regulate such activities, Religious beliefs can be exploited to implement this social engineering.

Privatize entitlements, Maximize profits

Insurance Companies: The Government has coddled the working class. Social programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Unemployment Compensation, and Workers Compensation are too expensive and provide workers with too many options. More importantly, the money that is being deducted from the worker’s pay to help fund these programs is money that is not being concentrated among the Capitalist class. The old and infirm should be treated as what they are: liabilities to society. If they cannot produce for society, then it should not be society’s responsibility to provide for them. However, since all people will ultimately need medical treatment at some point, we must maximize profits by giving all of the power to the private corporations in charge. Allow them to determine rates for procedures, give them unfettered ability to raise premiums, all under the guise of market forces.

Privatize Social Security: Provide Hedge Fund operators with more money to gamble on Wall St, resulting in higher commissions that are taxed a lower percentage. Regular cycles in the market will result in large losses of wealth by the working class that can be concentrated to the Capitalist class. The resulting losses and impending financial struggles will result in a working class that is desperate and easier to manipulate.

Deregulation, Maximize profits

Banking Regulation: Bankers must have the ability to determine their comfort of risk, and the Government should not stand in the way of the Capitalist Class employing their expertise in managing the investment funds of their clients.

Environmental Regulation: Much of the most important natural resources cannot be accessed do to the overbearing and unnecessary laws and cumbersome regulations of the Government. The Capitalists must take full control of these resources, and use any means necessary to extract, produce, and deliver as needed.

Eliminate taxes: A government’s only service should be to protect the sovereign nation and best interests of the Capitalists; tax money is best spent for the expansion of the Military Industrial Complex, which relies heavily on Research and Development, and Production of weapons and equipment, by the Private Sector. Taxes that are collected for unnecessary luxuries such as: Social Security, Medicaid/Medicare, Unemployment Compensation, Roads/Bridges, etc…only coddle the working class and reduce the opportunities for the Capitalists to take full advantage. Most importantly, the Capitalist Class should not be held responsible for subsidizing these efforts; instead that burden should fall on the Proletariat further creating a desperate class of workers that are easier to manipulate.

Interesting post. You should place it in your profile as a permanent posting. Just a suggestion.

Carol... "in 4 years there won't be any jobs for unions" I happen to live in Wisconsin, where we now have the best governor money can buy, (thanks to the Koch brothers) and where people actually lost their lives trying to unionize. So don't tell me about "loss of jobs" or "livable wages!" Little Scotty Walker never met a union he liked or wouldn't try to destroy. Collective bargaining? Why, why... it's a Communist plot!

If, indeed, you want to see a banana republic (with cable), by all means, vote for Romney/Ryan. P.S. It's livable wages, dear. Not "liveable" wages.

Vinnie... EVERYBODY should read that! It would be hard to paint a clearer picture for people. Great post, Thanks.

Sam, I get your sarcasm, but, of course, actual collective bargaining was anathema to the Communists.

Nice try, Bill. You choose a pathological liar who obstructed and diminished threats in Libya that cost lives of good people. You accept and endorse an administration that has ruined trust and broken faith with allies we need

Carol: Surely you jest. You think the man who isn't even president who on a single trip insulted our closest ally, didn't know his name and insulted the entire country is the man to restore goodwill and trust? If you have the slightest thought that Bush was respected by anyone we call an ally the simple fact they awarded Obama a nobel prize just on the thought the war monger was finally gone should have been a clue. The world sighed in relief when Bush departed and few would consider Romney an upgrade from Obama. You can say it but can't sell it. Obama did reduce hatred of America.

LONDON — Mitt Romney wanted to highlight U.S.-British bonds — and show off
his diplomatic skills to boot — but he managed to rankle the Olympic hosts
instead, from Prime Minister David Cameron on down.

The Republican presidential candidate, taking a turn on the world stage,
called London's problems with Olympic Games preparation "disconcerting." That
prompted Cameron to retort on Thursday that doubters would "see beyond doubt
that Britain can deliver." And London Mayor Boris Johnson told tens of thousands
gathered in Hyde Park: "There's a guy called Mitt Romney who wants to know if we
are ready. Are we ready? Yes, we are!"

Arab ally snubs Bush amid 'unprecedented hatred' for US

• Ewen MacAskill in Jerusalem and Suzanne Goldenberg in Washington
• The Guardian, Tuesday 20 April 2004 21.21 EDT

Yet Another Global Poll Reveals: The World HATES
Bush
15-Oct-04
Bush Hatred

To sum up world opinion in a nutshell: 'We like Americans but we HATE G.W.
Bush." The Guardian reports: "George Bush has squandered a wealth of sympathy
around the world towards America since September 11 with public opinion in 10
leading countries - including some of its closest allies - growing more hostile
to the United States while he has been in office. According to a survey, voters
in eight out of the 10 countries, including Britain, want to see the Democrat
challenger, John Kerry, defeat President Bush in next month's US presidential
election. The poll, conducted by 10 of the world's leading newspapers, including
France's Le Monde, Japan's Asahi Shimbun, Canada's La Presse, the Sydney Morning
Herald and the Guardian, also shows that on balance world opinion does not
believe that the war in Iraq has made a positive contribution." In short - vote
for Bush, and you vote for America to continue to go it alone in Iraq and
everywhere else.

What planet are you living on?

This is the problem with Romney supporters... you're stuck on stupid.

Scared to death of the truth and reality.

Ahhh that tells me that the Republicans are screwing up more than the Dem's??

The whole Republican party has lost their freaking mind and has turned into a bunch of brain dead spineless followers, God you people are pathetic.

Republicans for Obama

I don't need the GOP to tell me what type of Government I want!

Reality is a funny thing...

All that needs to be pointed out is that ALL the news that is not fabricated by FAUX is bad news for the Retardican Party and its zombies. Sorry, but the truth will out....

Insane American, you are as disallusioned as your party is stupid. Drink all the Fox koolaid you want and the numbers still will not change. All this article does is point out what a bigot and imbicile you are for arguing with facts. Dumba$$

@amisteree ... The words would be disillusioned and imbecile. If you can't even pay attention to the little red lines showing you your spelling mistakes, how can we expect you to be rational?

Spelling police, what a witty comeback.

The anger of people who have (previously, not anymore) said nice things about Romney and Ryan is palpable.

Nothing left to say about the GOP Heroes, huh?

You can't say Romney will do A or B because you don't know anymore.

You can't prop up a documented liar like Ryan.

It's only attack the other side that's left, for thirty-seven days*, isn't it?

*Oh, it's gonna pass SLOWLY for some people.

Wow, I guess I'm five also....Obama/Biden 2012 Ryan is a disgrace. I'll betcha if you put him in a skirt, he'd turn into Palin. You remember her, don't you; the last joke candidate.

It amazes me that people who are so "against" MSNBC are still here reading and posting.

Sane America

What a rag MSNBC is. I count 5 negative headlines for the republicans and one Obama is leading headline... what a ridiculous so called news agency. Why don't you just call it MSDNC instead... oh and Fisty and the rest of you 5 year olds... you are going to be surprised in November. Obama will not retain his throne.

.....Whew, I guess it a good thing for this country that Fox is such an unbiased, bipartisan news outlet then. Let's all go get our political information from the network that reported Bush's first win over Gore prior to the Florida ballots being counted.........Or the network that reports ZERO negative Republican headlines or spins every negative Republican headline and bashes Obama first, the Democratic party second. You know, the network that didn't even discuss on air the 47% statements at any length or detail. If it weren't for Sports and prime time entertainment Fox would be extinct.....just like it's founder good ol' Rupert......I just realized that Stewie from Family Guy's teddy bear is named Rupert.....Huh? Coincidence? Maybe?

SANE AMERICA - The deeper the Obama Messiah media digs in the better ~

They expose themselves & lose credibility with DECENT AMERICANS -People are paying attention make no mistake.

I will say this I'd bet $1000 that Mr Hollywood & his buddy Joe will get a copy of every DEBATE question before the Debates.

Obama & Joe Biden will know when where what & how you just watch.

I'd bet another $1000 that the audience will be stacked to the gills with LEFTEST Anti Romneyites You mark my words .......What do you think Conservatives? Am I right? (pun intended)

The right wing considers Obama's comment about bumps in the road as on a par with Romney's 47%. Most people I know consider bumps in the road a very common phrase when things go against you. They didn't even realise it was a verbal blunder until the Romney crew like Limbaugh that analyzes every comment by Obama told them it was. It must make life easier to have others think for you.

Democrats can and do post on here why we support Obama. Neither you or any other republican on any post here has made a single post that explains why you support Romney. Do you know any of his plans and how they'd make things better? I guess for those who leave the thinking to Fox and Limbaugh details just get in the way. Your comments sound like a 12 year old throwing insults.

Ozzy, come back after the first debate and explain what Romney is going to do and who he really is. He has flipped and flopped so many times without ever giving a coherent description of his plan to accomplish all his vague promises. Lets see the tax returns and his plan, then maybe we will consider him to be a viable candidate. Otherwise he is just a rich spoiled crank that has always thought he deserved being POTUS. Just saying Obama is a disaster has worn out, lets see the facts.

I would really like to have this slogan on a bumper sticker.

Too funny:)

Americans First, Jay, Elatt. Plebeian, et.al... it's futile. Some people will never admit that they've been bamboozled or could be wrong. "If you saw it on TV it must be true!" Kinda' like "Pearls before swine."

Never wrestle with pigs. Everybody gets dirty and the pig loves it.

Romney/Ryan's bumper sticker should read: "If You Can't Dazzle 'em With Briliance, Baffle 'em With Bull$hit"

Carol--- I forgot to tell you.....Google the Howard Stern interviews with the Early (so they can vote twice) Obama Voters

It will make your jaw drop...But you will gain an understanding of the average Obama Voter - except the Hollywood elites and the Billionaire Greene's

Sadly, this is what Obama has done to this country. Just take a peek at his Voters.......Howard Stern interviews Obama Voters GOOGLE IT!

So Carol, do you also blame Bush for the death of over 3000 Americans on American soil?

I mean if President Obama is responsible for terrorist in another country surly bush is responsible for terrorism in our own country.

Brink of ruin? Do all republicans have amnesia? Maybe you should learn how to use the Internet and research America and the state of her economy in September of 2008. Then get back to us about the looming economic disaster and how President Obama has turned our country around.

Apparently you did not notice the lost of millions of jobs and people losing their homes and losing their 401K's and their life's savings. I know this takes some hard thinking, but the condition the republicans left our country in 2008 is why we elected a Democrat in the first place.

And now the republicans want us to think they are the smart ones because they are now blaming President Obama for what the republicans did to our country.

VOTE FOR WOMEN'S FREEDOM...VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012

By all means Carol go over to the Fox page, Fox doesn't even rank as a second rate gossip news agency anymore.

The whole Republican party has lost their freaking mind and has turned into a bunch of brain dead spineless followers, God you people are pathetic.

Republicans for Obama

I don't need the GOP to tell me what type of Government I want!

carol, you live in a very dark and paranoid world, don't you? Do us all a favor and head back to worldnetdaily, the Blaze and Fox News.

We are trying to have a discussion on an election here.

You simply can't keep up.

And what path do you think Romney is trying to lead this country down.

In your own words " path to a third world status where lies and manipulation are the order of the day".

Wake up!......Romney/Ryan feed on stupid people like you.

So, go ahead Carol, tell us something that is positive about the Robme/Ruin team. Please do not quote anything said on FAUX or the Limberger shows since we ALL know that would be BS. LOL

Good Morning Carol,

Mr. Romney's campaign has got to be one of the worst in history. It's poorly run and managed and Mr. Romney bears responsibility for that. If things aren't going well for Mr. Romney and Mr. Ryan, I suggest they look to themselves first and not the press etc.

Peace.

@Jay ...you do realize that Fox has been the #1 cable news station for 10+ years now, right? So I guess there are quite a few 'stupid' people. Don't believe me, just do a google search for 'news channel ratings'. They absolutely annihilate MSNBC, ABC, CNN, etc. As an independent, I started watching Fox when my Democratic party threw Hillary under the bus back in '08. Bill O'Reilly was the only one to have her back, and as a matter of fact, he still does while the other commentators and stations call for her resignation over the Benghazi attack. He has criticized Republicans and praised Democrats when either are deserving. Believe what you will, but he really is fair and balanced, and his viewers are some of the most politically active I've seen.

Rush, shut the hell up, take off the dress, and stop calling yourself Carol. I know that Glenn Beck likes to call you that when you are taking it from behind and biting the pillow but this is not the place for it!

Of course, Sal, Fox "News" sells hate, and hate and gossip are what the undereducated feed on. Like you.

You do know that they are starting to lose the important demographics right? To Rachel Maddow?

That ought to depress you for the day.

amistree, now I have to clean my monitor screen. Thanks for the laugh!

@newday ....you obviously have a hard time comprehending what I posted, which doesn't surprise me at all. I'll gladly match my education level to yours any time. You talk about selling hate, and then dare to mention the queen of mean, Rachel Maddow? She and Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman are the reasons I stopped watching MSNBC. She is the most hateful bytch I've seen, and being transgender, believe me I've seen many both in and out of the LGBT community. You think Maddow is taking viewers from Fox? Seriously, what issues would Fox viewers find in common with her? That would make just as much sense as Colin Powell endorsing Obama on the issues...pardon me while I laugh my azz off in faux depression.

Stats don't lie, Sal, Google it.

What you are Sally, m'dear, is a disappointed voter whose crush Hillary could not make the cut in the last primary.

So riddle me this: if you are SO in love with Hillary, tell me, what policies does she have in common with Ryan/Romney? Hmmmmm?

Now. Go read a book. You are embarrassing yourself.

So because Maddow had a good week based on the 47% video, that means what exactly? Let me answer that for you....nothing! If you need me to, I can give you the link explaining MSNBC's temporary jump. Once again however, name calling and 'trying' to attack my intelligence or my motives does absolutely nothing but show your immaturity and lack of knowledge when it comes to the facts. I did not say a word about being in love with Hillary, nor is this article/debate/conversation about her. By the way, I'm sure that I've read more books in the past 2 months than you have in the past 10 years, including 2 by your messiah, Obama. The ones who are embarrassing themselves are those of you who cannot talk issues, but rather seek to demean those who have opposing viewpoints. Wow, look at that, just like Obama! I am voting Republican this time (for the first time in my life, btw) because, unlike some, I am mature and unselfish enough to put my personal social issues aside and see what would be best for the country. Now then, unless you have something of substance or intellect to say as a rebuttal, I suggest you go educate yourself.

Conservatives - $1000 says CNN supplies Barry & Joe with the debate questions ahead of time. Another $1000 says they stack the audience with obnoxious Romney haters.....I honestly believe that

After this Benghazi Gate cover-up they have proved beyond a doubt they are leftest criminals (IMHO)

Try to ignore these leftest lemmings in here. To respond to them is to acknowledge them

They are irrelevant dishonest haters not worthy of your valuable time. again IMHO

You live in a dark, smelly fantasy world, don't you, Love2troops? You have no evidence, no credible support, nothing except what the voices in your head tell you.

This post is a perfect example of how democrats and republican view the world differently.

Ryan's record on civil right is a blunder......which means Ryan thinks that all people are equal and doesn't think so little of minorities that we have to have special programs to help them succeed.

His idea of fairness, which is that everyone should have a level playing field and equal opportunity isn't good. Dems see that they have to manipulate things constantly to promote a fair outcome.

It is complete lie to say that he is cognitively disabled about economic numbers. This person came up with it because they were not astute enough to see through propaganda and lies.

Sadly, too many on both sides of the aisle don't have a clue about the truth. They are pawns. Seek the truth and educate yourself.

The truth is that Romney/Ryan budget would take care away from our wounded veterans to pay for more tax cuts for Romney and his rich friends.

The truth is that Romney/Ryan budget would take food out of the mouths of hungry children to pay for more tax cuts for Romney and his rich friends who are buying the election for the republicans that have promised them forever tax cuts.

The truth is that Romney/Ryan budget makes medicare a voucher program to pay for more tax cuts for Romney and his rich friends who are buying the election for the republicans that have promised them forever tax cuts.

The truth is that the republicans just voted against jobs for our returning veterans.

The truth is that the republicans just voted to keep the special tax cuts that pay corporations for moving our jobs overseas.

The truth is that the republicans have voted against all jobs in America because the rich couldn't be asked to sacrifice even one thin dime.

The truth is that the republicans have been voting for voter suppression as that is the only path they see to victory.

The truth is that the republicans have been voting to make women into second class citizens with stupid men like Akin and Ryan in charge of her body. What Akin said was that if you get pregnant then it wasn't a real rape. That is the reason behind no exceptions for rape and incest in the republican laws to make women second class citizens.

The truth is that the republicans are trying to put in power the Christian version of the taliban with the government in charge of women. This is what the republicans want to pass off as freedom.

I could go on and on, but you get the gist.

VOTE FOR WOMEN'S FREEDOM...VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012

The truth is- Libs buy votes with other people's money.

Being you are on here telling lies, I suspect you wouldn't know the truth if it hit you along side of your head.

No one has to buy a liberals vote, we are smart enough to know that voting for mitt the twit is not really a good choice for America.

There are many reasons not to vote for Romney.

My main reasons are first he is an idiot. If he is so smart and such a good businessman then why is he hiding the proof with hiding his his tax returns.

It is true Romney never apologizes, he just goes around and insults everyone. When he earned the nickname Mitt the twit in England, it was just the beginning.

Mostly if Romney is not smart enough to run a good campaign then he is not smart enough to be president. When all you got is lies and words taken out of context to make President Obama look like the bad guy, that is not much to run on.

If you go back to Romney's record as governor he couldn't create jobs then either. So with no ideal other that tax cuts for the rich just when did Romney get so smart and learn how to create jobs and why is he keeping those ideals as secret as his tax returns. He sure doesn't act smart with both feet in his mouth half the time.

VOTE FOR AMERICA...VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012

So, AmericansFirst, can you tell me you've never told a lie....ever? Newsflash we ALL lie, it's no surprise at all and our politicians (yeah, the idiots we vote into office, they are the best at it, regardless of party). How about this...vote NOBODY 2012....seriously, we should ALL abstain from voting this time around. I plan on going fishing or maybe read a book rather than spend one second on this lunacy.

No......we never had that debate. He tried, but no one from the democrats offered up a plan.

If you are supporting the Bush/Romney/Ryan ticket then you need to change your name to PuttaxcutsfortherichestbeforeAmerica.

The republicans have no intention of putting America first shown by their vote against jobs for our returning veterans as an example.

Then you want to present Mitt the twit and Lyin' Ryan as capable of running our country when they can't even run a campaign.

VOTE FOR AMERICA...VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012

Yes vote for AMERICA We need to vote for someone who does not APOLOGIZE for AMERICAS superiority in the world WE need to vote for someone who is not MARXIST by nature (ie: growing up in a marxist socialistic atmosphere.) Yes we need to vote someone who will try to better our economy and not spend us out of existance. We need to vote for anyone but the lawyer in the whitehouse who has no respect for America by deciding he will lessen Americas footprint on the world. He is definitetly not the one to try to put in the new world ordere by trying to turn this whole world into A NEW WORLD ORDER where there will be only one religion and it wont be one you like. ANYONE BUT THE LAWYER IN THE WHITE HOUSE. May God have mercy on our souls. SORRY FORGOT DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM TOOK GOD OUT.

Gordon... " DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM TOOK GOD OUT." ???

Freedom of religion should also be freedom from religion! The last refuge of scoundrels. BTW, speaking of "God" do you realize that she's black?

"Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it. George Bernard Shaw

No deity has a place in our secular government. If anyone wants to live in a theocracy, move to Iran or Saudi Arabia. You'll get tired of it right away, believe me.

Religion had its chance to rule the Western world. It was called the Dark Ages. Keep that nonsense away from our government.
