Mitt Romney told 27 myths (LIES) in 38 minutes of the national debate, this week.

http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2012/10/04/958801/at-last-nights-debate-romney-told-27-myths-in-38-minutes/

That's how 'compassionate' Mitt Romney is.

I feel sorry for you Mr. Romney, that you are simply UNABLE TO TELL THE TRUTH.

That's how compassionate I am.

And find a new story to tell -

Because that one has grown a beard.

Romney's compassion did not help the hundred Bain employees he fired as we paid 44 million to bail them out. Romney is a tool

Hey dude, let me just tell you this. 1. I'm a liberal. 2. You may not like the guys politics, but don't attack his humanity. It's just the wrong thing to do.

I'm still voting Obama, but seriously...give the insults a rest will you?

He doesn't need you to protect him.

He's got Adelson and the 0.01%-ers who want that $5Trillion tax cut that he has been hawking for 18 months --

That he lied about on television at the debate. And then doubled down on, and then accused other of lying about it.

Don't talk to me about this guys' 47% "humanity'.

Since the New Deal, Republicans have been on the wrong side of every issue of concern to ordinary Americans; Social Security, the war in Vietnam, equal rights, civil liberties, church- state separation, consumer issues, public education, reproductive freedom, national health care, labor issues, gun policy, campaign-finance reform, the environment and tax fairness. No political party could remain so consistently wrong by accident.
The only rational conclusion is that, despite their cynical "family values" propaganda, the Republican Party is a criminal conspiracy to betray the interests of the American people
in favor of plutocratic and corporate interests, and absolutist religious groups.

A Musical it did not take long for a Romney troll to attack. So yes you can see NO COMPASSION FROM REPUGOTHUGS. Hey did unemployment go down? Romney eat it

Nice post, Chad - thoughtful and spot-on!

O & Joe + Big Bird - VOTE!

Memphis Kelly

R$mney LIED 27 times in 38 minutes. This is the person you want in the WH? You want someone who first was against 47% of the country? Then said his campaign was for 100% of the COUNTRY? (which with the GOP stance on marriage, religion, women's rights to choose, and family relationship is an OUTRIGHT lie), and then he says yesterday he was "COMPLETELY WRONG"?

Romney doesn't even know the real truth anymore.

Obama IS CLEARLY the right choice for America.

Very true Chad Republicans have shifted in a manner that will fit their agenda. Welfare sucks right? But they will vote themselves a trillion in tax entitlements while thumbing their nose at food stamps. Hypocrites? Yes. Hell Romney's own parents received welfare.

And bailouts....do not get me started. Welfare. 44 million of it went to Romney.

The people I see getting welfare ride in limos, wear suits, and poke fun a homeless children on the street.

keck, keck, keck....it is not us saying it. Every government and private body but hey what do the fact matter to a guy like Mitt

keck

Yes, see you in November, when Romney is giving his concession speech :)

P.S. Umm... I looked at CNN.. umm.. 4.5 MILLION Jobs were created, and FILLED the deficit left from the FAILURE of Dubya.

Big BIRD will keep his job too.

There is truth out here.

There are facts out here.

And the Dems on here don't have time to waste 'spinning' for you.

I guess Mitt's programmers finally got most of the bugs out of the emotion chip. However, it seems to have added an aggressive hyperactive personality flaw. They're probably working feverishly to fix it before it causes a complete personality meltdown in the latest display model.

Hmmm, what's that burned electrical wiring smell?

Reboot.

Obama 2012/Romney

@Chad-4213400#1.7: Ahhh, my kind of person. Insightful, smart, and honest. Appreciate your comment. I'll add; most republicans in general, are a gang of traitorous sons-a-bitches who should be banished from this country.

CNN was talking about the NET POSITIVE of 125,000 jobs added to the economy, after factoring in the massive job losses in January 2009.

NINE MILLION jobs were lost in this second Great Depression -- incredible.

Under President Obama, 5.2 million private sector jobs have been created in the last 30 months.

And that has been filling in the giant hole created by athe loss of 9,000,000 jobs -- with zero help from GOP.

More Americans are employed today, than when the President was sworn in.

Free. do you need to defend a good record?

Hell I will take a JOB CREATOR over Mitt the Masterbater

Perhaps most touching of the three tales of courage amid loss was that of David Oparowski, a young boy whom Romney counseled through his battle with leukemia

Huh? He is taking a page from his wife's playbook... Downton Annie used the same tear-jerk line 3 days ago.

But Willard plans to cut medicaid... can you counsel a poor child without medical care to recovery?

The 47% unworthy of Mitt and his trickle up plan to finish what Bush started!

Bill anytime I see someone call "liberal media" I have to throw the flag. Really all the media is liberal or just the ones reporting the news? Even when they try to do a favorable Mitt piece it is "liberal media". Listen the media can not take the brown out of that stain

@ Jon R-469000, re 1.16 . . . sooooo funny - I LOVE it!

VOTE: O & Joe - and Big Bird!

Re: (Your comment) "No scandals or skeletons in his closet." ??!!

Mr. Romney became extremely rich (possibly a billionaire) by loading up companies with tax-deductible debt, and taking $$millions out with a big management fee - that the company had to pay off.

Mr. Romney's Bain always got out before the bills came due.

The result was communities annihalated and thousands of jobs lost, along with pensions, homes, savings, children's college, and healthcare.

The result was bankruptcies and jobs shipped overseas.

And hidden Romney bank accounts and tax returns.

Memphis Kelly

AMERICANS worried that the GOP is going to take away from the elderly ( you know, those 12% of the 47% that paid into the system) their 'medicare/ssn" checks. Yes. those are DEADBEATS aren't they? or how about 8% that are college students. You know, Romney says he is for education, but wants to CUT Pell Grants and Federal Student loans.

We are in trouble, when people think its more important to fire big bird, and keep BILLION dollar subsidies for Oil Corporations already making a record 80 BILLION in profits. We are in trouble when the GOP says less government, but oh women can't be trusted to make choices for their own bodies. Course, then there is the 5 TRILLION in tax cuts.. Oh wait, romney says that's a lie, but after fact check....

P.S. as for welfare.. factcheck ROMNEY's Parents, they TOOK public welfare once. Amazing isn't it.

And hidden Romney bank accounts and tax returns

no secret about Mitt's taxes... they are all in the stack that includes Barry's college transcripts, Michelle's 'missing thesis', Barry's relationship with Frank Marshall Davis, a published communist, and the rest of the missing information from his past. Fortunately we know that Romney has paid taxes otherwise Obama's IRS would have him in jail by now... but we'd all like to know the truth about BARRY! But alas the liberal media has ignored anything about Barry's past... what a joke!

Yes, GOP and Mitt, spin this data! We are waiting..

@Free Market fan#1.18: And your litany is supposed to help us trust one of the biggest, most unaccomplished liars ever to come down the pike? The man has all the appearance and wrinkles of a very accomplished criminal. To hell with Romney.

MittTaxPittanceRommel received a $42,000,000WindFall and paid 13.7% taxes on it. We American taxpayers paid republicanCrimeCartelSoldierMittTaxPittanceRommel's $10,500,000 tax bill. You Like that? What do you think this Crook is all about?? PULLLEEEZZZ Wake Up! Here is a helpful link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og35U0d6WKY&feature=player_detailpage

As my old boss Horace Greeley use to say, "We'll tear their hearts out"! I always start a story with "Once upon a time..............."

5.2 million jobs have been created in the last 30 months.

Previously, it was 4.6 million jobs:

This figure was UPDATED THIS WEEK BY THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS -

Because the B.L.S. added almost jobs to the record that were missing from the March 2011 to March 2012 count.

(Try not to trip over any large buildings on your way out.)

"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 care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. ... My job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."

Just in case you forgot who Romney REALLY is. Go ahead, read it again. KNOW what he believes.

I know one thing for certain... and I believe everyone else knows this as well... the f@#king Democrat that showed up instead of Romney at the debate was a total farce. As he has done throughout his campaign, he lied his ass off to appear to be what he isn't. After spending months convincing us what a "true conservative" he was, he came out left of Obama.

If we, as a country, swallow what this man is dishing, then we, as a country, have turned into the biggest bunch of fools on earth.

The rest of the world is saying "WTF" about now... you should be too. You CANNOT be this gullible.

DO NOT reward this man... this party... these puppeteers... for blatantly lying to the American people! These people are relying on "the people" to ignore the facts, to applaud the reality show they have made this campaign into, and to NOT elect the right man based on latent fears and false statements.

If you do reward this man, you will set a precedent we will never recover from. You will prove that truth is meaningless.

Romney's 5 point economic plan:

1) Replace the blue eagle on the $20-bill with a vulture (color yet to be determined)

2) Put his portrait on the $3-bill

3) Put Ryan's face on the Medicare voucher

4) Kill Big Bird and replace it with Big Turd (state-run programming... just think about who runs some of these midwestern states... you'll be trading in your brain for a bible)

5) Cut taxes for Donald Trump's "small" business.

O/Joe 2012!

rukidding47

I should really feel sorry for you liberals but I don't. You are so brain dead I think you honestly can not tell fact from fiction. You love to say your the party that cares for people but you have nothing good to say about anyone... Just because you have not heard the truth in 4 yrs you know not what it is. So you call it lies.... What fools you are.

You cannot have a clue as to what you are defending. This is simple. All you need is a split screen video. One on side, play Romney 1.0, Romney 2.0, or Romney 3.0. On the other side play one of the other Romney's. You will find that he has changed his position of issues almost daily. He went extreme far right to win the primaries and just went center left on you to win the debate... and you morons swallowed every bit of it.

You can't be that stupid, so why do you buy into this farce?

I'm thinking that THAT is the real question. You'll have to answer THAT for yourself because we cannot pretend to know your motivations... but, seriously. YOU CANNOT BE THAT STUPID.

A musical impulse-"Hey dude, let me just tell you this. 1. I'm a liberal. 2. You may not like the guys politics, but don't attack his humanity. It's just the wrong thing to do."

In spirit I do agree with you.But let me tell you about a report I heard a few days ago.I may miss a few words but the message will be able to be understood. When Romney was running against Senator Kennedy for the Mass. Senate seat.He said that he supported a women's right to choose. He said he had a young relative that had died from an illegal back alley abortion,and that he and his family were so upset,and would never get over the grief of that.That they decided no matter what their personal feelings they would never oppose a women's right to choose. He gave his pledge to the voters on that. Now,to gain right-wing Republican votes he has said he supports a ban on all abortions. I guess he must have gotten over the grief for his relative. I think that's the type of reasons so many people doubt his "feelings" over people problems.

5.2 million jobs have been created in the last 30 months

Yeah but what you're frogeting is that the numbers of jobs created isn't keeping up with population growth. (reported by CNN and MSNBC)

Chad numbers said,

"Since the New Deal, Republicans have been on the wrong side of every issue of concern to ordinary Americans; Social Security, the war in Vietnam, equal rights, civil liberties"

The republicans could not have been on the wrong side of Vietnam because President Nixon a Republican ended it in 1975

President Kennedy started sending military advisors there in the early 60's then President Johnson escalated it to a full-blown war both are Democrats...

If the Republicans hadn't worked for and voted for the civil rights amendment's passage then it wouldn't have become law... you see the southern Democrats (Dixiecrats) DID NOT want to pass this amendment and did everything in their power to resist it's passage. I think you need to read up on the civil rights issues and history in general before making comments that make you look like a fool!!

Now you can go back to smoking whatever it is that makes you lose sight of reality...

Dude you're just pathetic...

Backhouse

Backhouse, Keep up the good work.

It is just incredible how the righties have the gall to exclaim their feelings of sorrow for us liberal. If they should feel anything it should be shame for defending the bubble heads in their GOP/Tea Naggers leadership for continual LIES; primarily MYTH Romney.

These righties know they are lying through their teeth about the conservative claims of "implausible" and "unfounded unemployment data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Friday as being manipulated to benefit President Obama politically.

Conspiracy theories are nothing new for Obama. He has been dogged by discredited claims that he wasn't born in this country and that he is Muslim.

http://news.yahoo.com/officials-reject-conspiracies-unemployment-rate-070150404--finance.html

Also, I find it striking MYTH could only enamore 5,ooo suporter in contrast to President Obama's 30, OOO after this debate the righties are so excited about; not to mention he is talking about repealing health care. Yet, he is touting about helping a 14 year write a will?

I have to catch my bus now will talk to you later.

Top 10 Excuses Conservatives Are Already Making For Losing The Election

No one's denying conservatives are good at creative thinking

10. The Fed Rigged It

When the Federal Reserve announced a new round of "quantitative easing" or "QE3" to accelerate job recovery, several House Republicans accused it of rigging the election for President Obama.

9. Skewed Polls Depressed Republican Turnout

Many conservatives are complaining that most national polls are "oversampling" Democrats, even though most pollsters don't weigh their data based on party identification since partisan makeup of the electorate can fluctuate.

8. The Government Suppressed The Military Vote

On Fox & Friends, guest co-host Eric Bolling asserted that "it's becoming more difficult, relatively more difficult, for military personnel to get an absentee ballot , yet we're supposed to believe that getting a photo ID just makes it way too difficult for an American citizen to vote."

As Media Matters noted, the head of the Military Voter Protection Project, which provided the data that Fox & Friends based its discussion on, said, "The military voting issue has existed long before the current administration. I simply don't see any politics at play."

7. The Government Allowed People To Vote Early

Having more people be able to vote , by states allowing ballots to be cast before Nov. 6, is a "recipe for fraud," according to Rush Limbaugh.

6. ACORN. Again.

From Dean Chambers of UnskewedPolls.com fame:

While the media is creating the perception that Obama can and is winning, the campaign and it’s supporters are working with their allies and former members and leaders in groups like ACORN and others to change the actual vote outcomes as much as they can. ... By creating the perception that Obama is winning, the media is giving the campaign a margin in which to be able to engage in voter fraud and make it believable ... this is precisely why Obama’s Justice Department under Attorney General Eric Holder is fighting voter identification laws so strongly. They know they are far less likely to win the if the election if honest and fair.

5. Obama Was Never Vetted

In March, Breitbart.com launched "The Vetting" because "Andrew [Breitbart] wanted to do what the mainstream media would not. First and foremost: Andrew pledged to vet President Barack H. Obama ... he wanted to show that the media had failed in its most basic duty: to uncover the truth, and hold those in power accountable, regardless of party. From today through Election Day, November 6, 2012, we will vet this president..."

Breibart.com has been "vetting" ever since. Daily Caller too.

And yet, it is never enough

4. The Libya Cover-Up

Rush. Try to follow.

They engage in a cover-up. They concocted a phony scenario. ... They don't even care. They got their political mileage out of this. They established the narrative that it was the video. They had a solid week of doing that, no matter who was protesting and saying it wasn't. They had the world believing it and the US media spreading that it was a video. Now the guy that did the video is in jail, and there's nothing to see here anymore. We move on.

Now it's the economy, and "it couldn't be tackled any better by anybody else." The Clinton bump. Democrat National Convention. That's exactly right! Obama cares, as Michelle told us and he told us. Biden told us how much Obama cares. "Gosh, he doesn't do anything but worry about the economy and jobs!"

3. Romney Wasn't Conservative Enough

Laura Ingraham declared "conservatism wins" always , therefore Romney losing must mean he's not being conservative enough.

Rush Limbuagh similarly concluded that if Romney "would just go full-bore conservative [he would] wrap it up."

2. The American People Are "Morons" Hooked On Welfare

El Rushbo:

Obama's out on The View and with Letterman and so forth. That's who he's gunning for. That audience. He's really coalescing the Moron Vote. He's banking on the fact that of the universe of Americans who vote, that there's a winning majority of morons in there. He's got academia and he's got the media and he's got the Hollywood crowd. Then he's going after the actual

Americans outside those institutions. He's not going for the middle class. He's going for the morons.

This apparently is why, according to Rush, Obama forcibly put half of America on welfare: "Obama sees welfare recipients as a majority coalition, and now we have record numbers of people on food stamps. Coincidence?"

1. He's Black

George Will:

Obama’s administration is in shambles, yet he is prospering politically. This may not, however, entirely be evidence of the irrationality of the electorate. Something more benign may be at work.

...

the nation, which is generally reluctant to declare a president a failure — thereby admitting that it made a mistake in choosing him — seems especially reluctant to give up on the first African American president. If so, the 2012 election speaks well of the nation’s heart, if not its head.

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

AS far as I'm concerned there are umpteen more reasons the Republicans are losing; it just not enough space to list them all. The main issues to be considered are Republicans LIE, conspire, and cheat.

What is this dying kid crap? Is he trying to prove that his heart is not black as 'clean coal'?

Sorry, Willard. We aren't that stupid.

Next, he will talk about rescuing a kitten from a tree. Probably Obama scared that little kitten with his foreign policy. Romney 1, Obama 0.

What a transparent ploy by a manipulative tool. If this kid did actually exist, Wrongme dishonors him by once again, using anything within reach for political gain. Disgusting.

Free Market fan Comment collapsed by the community

10. And one more point.....pundits say because of his wealth, he can't relate to ordinary Americans. I guess that's because he made that money HIMSELF.....as opposed to marrying it or inheriting it from Dad.

I'm going to ignore the 1st 9 because I really don't care about Mitt's looks or that he's married or has kids. But I will comment on this one.

1st, Romney did not make that money himself, why? Let's start from the begining.

Can you get into Harvard? Is your dad an ex-governor with connections to get you in? Will you dad pay your full tuition? Will you dad buy you a house to live in and give you stock to live off of? Tell me, how many people can say that this scenario is applicable in their lives?

Tell me, without an Ivy League education, how many doors just shut in front of you? Would you have the same job interviews with a state college degree?

That alone gives Romney a huge advantage ahead of about 98% of this population. And I really don't think Romney would be Romney we know had he come from a poor family and went to Michigan State.

Now you are going to tell me that Obama went to Harvard as well. Yes he did. Without anyone's help. Tell me, who had it easier? Who had more advantage?

Starderup

What is this dying kid crap? Is he trying to prove that his heart is not black as 'clean coal'?

Sorry, Willard. We aren't that stupid.

Next, he will talk about rescuing a kitten from a tree. Probably Obama scared that little kitten with his foreign policy. Romney 1, Obama 0

Why not talk about how the jobs numbers of unemployment being 7.8 % knocked the elation of MYTH's winning the debate off the news cycle? That's would be a light bulb moment for MYTH to explain how he could further those numbers.

These numbers are a boom to President Obama's campaign. Just imagine what it could have been if we didn't have obstructionist Republican Congressmen and gazaillonares sitting on jobs to hurt this President and the American people!!

Of course, MYTH, being the vulture capitalist he is, knows he could never admit that he and the gazaillonares are the problem!!!

Obama/Biden 2012

...We aren't that stupid

lol, yes you are starderup, yes you are!

But just smart enough to work the system, so you yourself don't have to... enjoy it while you can scammer!

Romney/Ryan... for job creation and the downsizing of a bloated Federal Govt!

Backhouse

Your assertion about Bush him gaining jobs well, actually the job increase for both is equal at 4.25 million. Your pals conveniently shift time period that gives them the number they want, but it is FALSE

If you are going to ignore the factcheck facts, you probably should not include the link. Yes the number of PRIVATE JOBS was about the same (Bush - 4,259,000, Obama - 4,267,000), but the TOTAL NUMBER OF JOBS isn't even close (Bush - 4,455, Obama - 3,765). The total number of jobs created under Bush was 690,000 more than this weak, so-called recovery from a recession that ended over three years ago in June 2009

Mathematically, the job numbers just don't add up. The BLS report says ''The unemployment rate
decreased to 7.8 percent in September, and total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 114,000." However, to get the unemployment rate to 7.8, the BLS data shows that number of people employed went up from 142,101,000 in August to 142,974,000 in September. That is an increase of 873,000. The 114K are actual numbers and the 873K comes from a sample (estimate). If the unemployment numbers used the actual employment increase, the unemployment rate would be 8.3%, because more people started looking for work. Like I said the numbers don't add up.

The violins & harp playing in the background was a nice touch! lol

Mark from Lake Tahoe

So Mark, tell us all how it is that you know anyone's financial situation who posts here, who works or who does not. Is it just one of those alternate universe RWNJ 'facts' that are never put on display? Too many like you are spending far too much time consulting Conservapedia.

" When President Bush left office, unemployment was at 7.8%. Same as it is TODAY"
repeatthelierepeatthelierepeatthelierepeatthelierepeathelierepeatthelierepeatthelierepeatthelierepeatthelie, etc, etc,etc
Manipulated numbers do ont make him a good President.
They only make him look more like the lying fool that he is.
Real unemployment (U6) is 14%.
Economists have already came out and said to shave off 1/2 a point growth would have to be 4-5%. It wasn't anywhere near that.
Manipulated numbers and 1.7 million able bodied people who want to work being dropped from the pool is why our Liar-in-Chief is bragging about unemployment "only" being 7.8% after 4 years of failed economic policy brought to us by the know nothing amateurs.

Please come out with a new attack ad:

Title "Which Mitt Romney is the real Mitt Romney"

Show him and his personal anecdotes, then show him making the 47% remark.

"So which Mitt Romney is the real Mitt Romney?" pause then, "The real question is, can you trust him?"

Then show all the changes in positions he's had over the past 6 months.

Close Ad.

Obama lies, the nation dies ...a good slogan for a bumpersticker. He would do anything to get reelected and continue his dismantling the USA! The truth is 23,000,000 are out of work or working part time sans benefits.

But just smart enough to work the system, so you yourself don't have to... enjoy it while you can scammer!

In the debate we saw the real Mitt Romney, and more important the real Barack Hussein Obama! And we learned that BO stinks!

Mark, carrot top and beaverly from Chitown are experts at working the system without contributing to the system... why do you think they post 24/7 at First Read? They couldn't do that without cashing obamabuck checks, could they! starderup is a fine example of a another scammer who desperately needs the annoited one re-elected!

P&J, actually Romney was debating an empty chair the other night...

Pride and Joy

You have no idea about how anyone makes their money who posts here. Perhaps the people you bitch about are retired? So the question might well be asked of you is why do you hate retired people?

Doesn't the Mormon religion have any policies about lying? If Romney was Pinocchio he would have poked Jim Lehrer off the stage.

EvaPeron

P&J, actually Romney was debating an empty chair the other night...

so did Mondale when he debated Reagan, so what's your point? Did you know that every incumbent president (except Clinton) in our modern history lost the 1st debate?

THe true colors of the Republicans keep coming out. Instead of being happy that more people are working, they claim the numbers are fake. Yet, they cannot come up with one shred of evidence.

All this proves that the 7.8% number is pissing you righties off. You would rather see higher unemplymment and that is sad!

EvaPeron

You claim you are very anti-socialism. I hope you have some cash saved for the college education for your 2 boys because taking out student loans to pay for their college would make you a total hypocrite, wouldn't it? You would want to be part of the evil socialist program, would you?

Conservative Rebellion

ON the one hand they may not be manipulating the BLS, but the 368,000 "uncounted" jobs smells like a manipulation.

Mostly what they are doing is study statistics and use dates that strengthen, but not necessarily prove the point. If that doesn't work well enough, they misrepresent one statistic as meaning something it does not to use with another statistic to make their points work better. A good example of this would be post 1.49 and using applications for unemployment for actual job losses instead of the actual number of job losses per month as published by the BLS.

People slowly figure out the "sleight of hand" and get tired of the baseless rantings using these trumped up numbers, and leave when they figure out what is going on. Some stay because if unanswered, the falsehoods begin to become the truth. I don't want to see people misled like this because that is how you get bad leaderhip and lose the freedoms you do have.

DB Akron

Conservative Rebellion actually has it right for his particular ideology. When the numbers don't jive in his mind, claim manipulation, when they do, claim them as being unbiased.

Exactly DB

Manipulating the numbers to achieve their desired outcome because they believe most Americans are too stupid or too busy to care.

bcwc

everyone knows they manipulate the numbers. if you paid attention so would you. then again, most americans care little what canadians think when it comes to America.

bcwc

everyone knows they manipulate the numbers. if you paid attention so would you. then again, most americans care little what canadians think when it comes to America.

You know what most Americans think for a fact do you? Just as you know that I am a Canadian? Strike two. Care to take another swing?

Shall we research your historyand find where you have claimed to be Canadian and claim to have lived for a time in America? Not wasting my time. As far as manipulating the numbers go. Yes, if you are not a completely uninformed ideological hack you know that there is some manipulation of the numbers. All one has to do is look at the fact that there are actually different categories of the numbers they present as "unemployment". At present, the best indicator of actual unemployment stands at 14%.

Do you think most Americans care a great deal about what Canadians think about our country?No. and I don't need a poll to say it.

Poor liberals. Their hero flamed out on Wed night and they are using every tactic in the book to defend him. The American public got a good look at the comparison between the two men. Perception is reality. In the end, it was Romney 67% and Obama 25%. All the tales, lies, spin and mis-truths the liberals are throwing out there is simply cover for their chosen messiah. What else can liberals do? Concede? I think not... they have to keep on defending their miscreant choice or lose face.

For every lie the liberals say Romney told, they completely ignore the lies Obama told. It's not a one way street liberals even though you want to change all the rules to make it that way. Obama isn't what you think he is... He's not this level headed, wise and benevolent leader... in fact, he's not even a leader. Oh, the tales of hate I am exhibiting... I can hear it now... Liberals will deflect all of what Obama isn't into what my hate filled words are saying about him. I can't help your blindness. Only you can.

since it's apparently a bother for you to admit the truth.

I currently reside in Canada ... I am as I have posted a Brit. Have always been one and will always be one.

One of the things sociopaths are good at is faining care. They want people to think they care but since they will say or do anything to get what they want it seems reasonable that they would seem to care about someone if they think it will buy them something. Romney, being a sociopath, is telling us his story of "caring" I just wonder what was in it for the Mittster.

If you say so. My mistake and good luck with that. My point remains the same. Your opinion of America is as valuable as my opinion of the UK.

The only chance the Libbys have is to vilify Romney on every turn.

He helps a kid with leukemia. HOW DARE HE!!!

Americans will see through the BS spewed by the left, I still have confidence in this country. Everyday the Libbys keep this up, the more and more they look like a circus.

Romney/Ryan 2012 the end of an Error

I can't help but think, if President Obama had told this story, the FOX headline would be, Obama admits to loving 14 year old boy....

He writes a will for 14 year old kid with leukemia as he promises to deny healthcare to thousands of kids with the same disease. Does he hold a child psychology degree that assures his will writing was the proper approach with this poor kid? Where did this kid get the idea to write a will? Would you write a will for a very sick child that was not your own? Would you want someone other than yourself to do such a personal thing with your ill child?

Was it perhaps the child that was entertaining the man by giving him something to do? This seems such a peculiar thing for an adult visitor to do at the bedside of a sick child. Even more peculiar to relate the story as if he expects a pat on the back for providing a free legal service. What a man!

This story only confirms my convictions that Romney is completely out of touch with ordinary people.

Mr. Compassion?

Gee, when Romney was secretly recorded talking to wealthy donors at $ 50,000 a plate, he said condescendingly that 47% of Americans were freeloaders who didn't want to better their lives and wanted hand-outs. He was completely oblivious to the fact that part of that 47% were waiting on him hand and foot in that very room, serving him and his champagne drinking buddies their meals and refreshing their wine glasses.

I had some respect for Mitt Romney before that incident, but a person as calloused as that does not deserve a political position of any kind in this country.

And his debate performance was a high score in bullying and a high score in "say whatever it takes" to get elected, but he scored zero in integrity.

All you poor whiners crying about Romney's business success really need to get a life. The man prospered within the law, payed taxes that were due, because otherwise the IRS would still be pursuing him, and this election will be a repeat of 2010, since Bozobama has done NOTHING but continue the same socialist horseSH** that gave Republicans huge victories in so many areas, national and state elections then. Let's hope enough haven't been brainwashed into being takers by Bozobama, as he'll do nothing but continue to run the countryinto the ground.

One thing is for sure if Romney gets in and we keep the Tea Party Congress there won't be anything to take from any of us since it will all be squirreled away in the Cayman Islands. Can anyone say "Where is the Money"? with an answer being "What Money"? Our next response will be "Our Tax Dollars" and than in unison the Republican Government will say. "Fooled you once, Fooled you Twice Shame on You" as they all move to the Islands and leave America a desolute Land. How many times do you need to see the economy get side swiped before you understand that the New Republicans are about the wealthy getting richer with littel regard to the middle and lower half

Who's whining? The polls are wrong, the media is wrong, science is wrong and everybody is picking on poor old Romney and me. Voter fraud is so rampant that we must initiate voter disfranchisement. American workers are consuming such a huge portion of the pie that we must stomp out all unions and worker's rights.

Teachers are the Devil's right hand as they refuse to teach about the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and Creationism. Who needs an education anyway as long as a smart man like Romney is willing to lead us? He's the one that pointed out the need for power windows to open in case your aircraft catches fire. You gotta breath. Any fool ought to know that.

We got too much clean air and water. Kill the EPA that stifles coal miners and off-shore oil rig workers. They get paid good money to get buried alive or eaten by sharks. I'd take that job if my back wasn't so bad. What about those free-loading 47% that never pay taxes. By God, I pay my taxes every time I buy a 40 oz. beer. Most times, 6 or 8 times a day.

Romney is my man. Get that communist, Muslim loving black guy out of our White-house before he brings down the whole neighborhood. Before you know it, his kind will be living all over D.C. Damn fool.

Maxx.....great response regarding Chad's silly comment. Especially regarding Civil Rights. People falsely believe it was the Democrats that were behind it's passage.

I bet if you ask people in Harlem if they are any better off now than they were 25 years ago.....they would say no. I would then ask.....why do you continue to elect the corrupt Charley Rangel!?!?

Chad probably isn't over 35 otherwise he would know his history. Then again.....schools today tend to revise history.

Reasons to fear Willard Romney.

Williard believes when he dies, because he is a baptized Mormon he will become a God! So no matter what he does or says he will simply have to say he is sorry to God when he dies to become a God.

Willard Believes Jesus and Satan brothers and we were all born as siblings in heaven to them both, (Mormon Doctrine, p. 163).

God used to be a man on another planet, (Mormon Doctrine, p. 321)"God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens!!!

God resides near a star called Kolob, (Pearl of Great Price, p. 34-35; Mormon Doctrine, p. 428)

After you become a good Mormon, you have the potential of becoming a god, (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 345-347, 354.)Then shall they be gods, because they have all power, and the angels are subject unto them," (D&C 132:20).

There are many gods, (Mormon Doctrine, p. 163).

God is married to his goddess wife and has spirit children.(Mormon Doctrine, p. 516).

Jesus' sacrifice was not able to cleanse us from all our sins, (murder and repeated adultery are exceptions), (Journal of Discourses, vol. 3, 1856, p. 247).

"ChristNot Begotten of Holy Ghost ...Christ was begotten of God. He was not born without the aid of Man, and that Man was God!" (Doctrines of Salvation, by Joseph Smith, 1954, 1:18).

If it had not been for Joseph Smith and the restoration, there would be no salvation (Mormon Doctrine, p. 670).

"One of the most fallacious doctrines originated by Satan and propounded by man is that man is saved alone by the grace of God;(Miracle of Forgiveness p. 206).

Jesus' sacrifice was not able to cleanse us from all our sins, (murder and repeated adultery are exceptions), (Journal of Discourses, vol. 3, 1856, p. 247).

There is no salvation without accepting Joseph Smith as a prophet of God (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 1, p. 188)

"As these sins are the result of individual acts it is just that forgiveness for them should be conditioned on individual compliance with prescribed requirements 'obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel,'" (Articles of Faith, p.79). Another words Man forgives you.

"Many men say there is one God; the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are only one God. I say that is a strange God [anyhow]--three in one and one in three. . .It is curious organization… All are crammed into one God according to sectarianism (Christian faith). It would make the biggest God in all the world. He would be a wonderfully big God--he would be a giant or a monster," (Joseph Smith, Teachings, p. 372).

Do want a person who believes he is God to be President.

He helps a kid with leukemia. HOW DARE HE!!!

Hey Eeyore...the problem isn't him comforting a dying boy. It is that he would use a dying boy to score political points. He claims to be a Christian while using his "Godly works" to glorify himself. Christians don't do that. He's is a liar and a scumbag. The real question is why someone like you would support him. Do you like liars and predators?

I can't help wondering with posters like you...do you hate him because he's black or because you're stupid?

Don't worry Mitt!

Your more compassionate tone is a farce and we don't accept your apology about the 47%. Your are an arrogant , millionaire who has no idea how most Americans live and struggle. We will remember that on Election Day in November!

Common sense,

I think you are confusing common sense with your, ignorance, prejudice and downright stupidity. Look up the meaning of Communism and Marxism please, as you show no idea what either of them are or what they proclaim! You are a fool or at least sound like one here!!!!!!!!!!!!

Common sense,

After reading your piece again I realize it was SATIRE! I'm sorry! But had it not been SATIRE my comments would apply!

I would like to see what kind of personal compassion he shows for those outside his Church!!! ...

Willard took a bigger tax deduction from his wifes horse than he gave to charity outside his church or foundation to buy his Bishop title or Pres of STAKE!

Think nbc is losing it by denying use of the news broadcast by a. mitchell...More d. gregory pandering to the rabid lying right!

#1.18 - Fri Oct 5, 2012 10:04 PM CDT

LOL!! And you know this how, because Romney told you, you read it, or, you're just gullible enough to think all of that yourself?

Mitt Romney will do and say anything to become President. Anything.

Newt Gingrich

October 7, 2012, 11:35 AM555
Newt Gingrich called out Mitt Romney on Sunday for backing off his promise to cut taxes on the wealthy after winning the Republican nomination.

"I think it's clear he changed," Gingrich said on NBC's "Meet The Press" roundtable, admitting that Romney had shifted from wanting to lower taxes on all Americans to promising that his reform plan would not lower taxes paid by the wealthy.

Romney's pledge is to cut tax rates across the board by 20 percent and recover the lost revenue by closing unnamed credits and deductions for high income earners. The net effect, he says, would be to lower the burden on the middle class and keep effective taxes constant on the rich without increasing the deficit — goals that nonpartisan experts deem mathematically infeasible.

In February, during a GOP primary debate, Romney said, "We're going to cut taxes on everyone across the country by 20 percent, including the top 1 percent."

On Wednesday, facing down President Obama, he insisted, "I will not reduce the taxes paid by high-income Americans."

OBAMA/BIDEN....2012!!!!

Funny when conservaturds say they are for civil rights isn't it? They put these laws into place in states where there is a significant population of blacks who are low income. ID cards cost money! That's what's stopping them. Republicans bet on blacks (and seniors & students) either not being able to afford IDs or not knowing that one is needed when they show up to the polls. Also, do you honestly think that a small Midwest town where everyone is white and assumed to be republican is going to have people working at polls who strenuously check IDs, even if it is state law? Not likely. They know the real purpose of the voter ID laws. They are made to disproportionately affect people who are less likely to vote Republican. It's an abuse of power and another attempt to control citizens. For a party that claims to want smaller government, they were sure quick to make laws that benefited them.

people who are less likely to vote Republican.

You mean those that like section 8 housing as well as welfare and hate GOD and the Country don't you ?

And see ya later Big Bird, we can't afford ya anymore... unless Backwash can cough up a donation or two! We are in trouble as a nation and the libbies are rallying around a cartoon character!

PBS hosts nearly 200 shows. This is far more deeper than Sesame Street.

So we can't afford to fund public broadcasting anymore? What we fund it, doesn't even fund our government for 30 minutes.

We can't afford to give billions yearly in subsidies to the petroleum industry, but yet we do.

We can't afford to give corporations billions in tax breaks, but yet we do.

We can't afford to allow 60% of corporations to zero out their tax liability, but yet we do.

So, what sounds smarter? Cutting the 71 million in yearly funding to PBS and its close to 200 hosted programs, or cutting off corporations that are experiencing their greatest profits in history from getting billions more yearly of tax payers dollars?

Keck nice try with the lie. What CNN said was:

The Bureau of Labor Statistics confirms that a lot of jobs have been created under Obama's leadership -- 4.4 million by the bureau's latest count. What Obama did not say, however, was that the nation shed 4.3 million jobs during the early days of his term, and that the net gain since he took the oath of office in January 2009 is just 125,000 jobs.

Notice they said early days not weeks or months meaning the avalanche of job loss started before any Obama policies had occured. You are just another case of pre January 2009 memory loss by a GOP supporter.

Less than honest?

I bet more people ticked off the box next to "Lying Sack of ...." .

Louie Bee

Eric... That would have to be a two-hour special program.

you are beining too modest. Mitt's been flip flopping since 1994 and it's all on video. Yet some still believe him...Santorum was partially right when he said that Romney is the worst Republican. Romney is the worst liar in the entire United States of America!

Paul I love that name Mittonnesty it sounds very presidential in the land of Romneyville. Seriously President Obama's failures over the last four years belongs in part to us his supporters who did not make sure that the Tea Party (Take Everything Away party) was not allowed to get into the mix. So many of us stayed home complacent that Obama could do all the work himself. We should have stood behind him after he was elected as we stood to vote him in. Those that whine are the ones that handed him the shovel and told him to build them a new America filled with hope and change but didn't want to stay involved. Obama's hope and change was the hope that we the people would change and begin to understand it was we the people who had the power. We proved it at the voting booths in 2008 and than went home and turned on channels like Honey Boo Boo popped some popcorn and went to sleep. Upon awaking some are questioning why the change did not occur? Well here is your chance to make it happen one more time. Get up vote and than stand behind your re-elected President so when he steps millions steps WITH him. When he speaks millions speak WITH him. Right now the Republicans think we are lazy and incapable of stopping their agenda. I say shower, shave, brush your teeth put on you clothes and march boots and step out and behind our POTUS. Great comments Paul.

Why?--Wow! Some pretty darn good research you did there! Only one little correction, if I may? God {according to Mormon docterine} actually has more than one wife, you must remember, the Mormon "church" practiced polygamy {until they did'nt for P.R. reasons, and it became illegal.} pretty slick of them, huh? Another thing you might not know, their so called "PROPHET" Joseph Smith was a con-man and CONVICTED FELON. There are even state records to prove it, whether from New York or New Hampshire, I'm not exactly sure, another source you might be interested in, is a lovley little book written a few years back called, The God Makers, I'm sure that you can find it on Amazon.com. And by the way I completley agree with you, I don't want a man who thinks he is GOD to be President either!

This article is spot on:

http://www.city-journal.org/2012/eon1005ak.html

"never heard Romney talk soft until today."

• This is the latest, new and improved version of Mitt Romney. No doubt his handlers told him he came across as obnoxious and arrogant in the debate. So -- it's time for yet another a make-over. But like all other versions of the new and improved Mitt Romney, this one has about a 24 hour shelf life.

Most people don't know that Bain own Clear Channel. Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly, Bortz - all brought to you by Bain. What do you know? Control the airwaves; control the simple minds.

Bain owns Clear Channel. So what! Levine - the guy that took over Romney's projects in 1999 is an Obama supporter and campaign funds bundler.

That "conservative" Clear Channel DUMPED conservative shows to bring on the Liberal talk show with Jerry Springer. They thought they would make money on that, but ratings tanked quickly and Jerry was gone very quickly.

There reason Channel has so many Conservative shows is because they make so much money on them.

Simple ones are the ones who buy the crap that conservative are stupid.

Two days after Romney announced to all parents everywhere that he would shut down Big Bird, he now shows his "compassionate conservative" side.

Too late, big guy.

he would shut down Big Bird,

Aw shucks, but Mitt will be more than willing give Big Bird an assist with his will. For we all know, in the complex world of death and dying, distributing one's assets is priority #1, at least to the Romney material wealth crowd. I think we can comfortably assume the first papers signed after Ann's breast cancer diagnosis was the revised will, followed by the mountains of medical forms.

Yo Romney, would you care to extoll any other pearls of wisdom when it comes to death and dying? Being the extreme conservative compassionate man you are, you must know something about the other emotional phases one confronts!!

Thank you for your comment. When he looked Jim in the eye and said he was cutting funding for Big Bird I thought he looked crazy and weird...than I find out he won the damn debate. I muted the rest of the debate and just watched, I thought he acted strange, and Obama kept looking at him like he did not know who he was. No one did because he had changed his whole compaign talking points. Warning, you might not like Democrats or Obama but be careful, this guy is odd. Why doesn't everyone agree he will just say whatever the crowd he is with wants him to say, look how he won his party nomination, he just kept getting more conservative. Now he is starting to go to the middle...and telling sad stories! I wonder who he really is.....just saying.

Why would anybody want more welfare? Enough already. If 50% of college graduates are out of work. Maybe just Maybe now. We might have a problem.

So , we all know were going to pay taxes . Well , not all of us but some us ( I know i do). Should this money go to pay for more teachers ? Should it go to China? Should it go to more hand outs or more section 8 housing?

If you think so , then your asking what you country can do for you and not what you can do for your country . Plain and simple . J.F.K a Democrat would probably be ashamed of you.

So bare with me here. Let's just say we spent more on the military and have no Reduction in forces at all.

Planes and Ships mean work. Not just military people either . Yard birds are civilians. Look around outside of what few military bases we have left here in the states and you will most definitely see businesses and not just strip clubs and fast food joints although their there too.

Obama seems to want everyone to go to college. I am not saying that is a bad thing . I am saying the tax payers do not need to pick up the tab for it.

Personally , I feel trade schools are better but imho the tax payers should not have to pay for that either.

We left Europe for a reason. We are Taxed Enough Already.

A strong military is needed especially now . Jobs and peace though strength .

We have a strong military already. How much stronger does it need to be? What's the difference between someone being trained by the military, and the taxpayers paying for some other kind of education?? There is no difference, people in the service and people in the private sector both contribute to the greatness of our country.

How much stronger does it need to be?

A lot stronger than #2 . I would like to see some more Aircraft carriers and subs being made . Granted i was CG but it gives me a sense of pride no civilian could understand .

What's the difference between someone being trained by the military, and the taxpayers paying for some other kind of education??

Wow , great question. Just how combat ready are civilian educators these days?? I am really to old to learn a new language and a new way of life.

Do not forget that Mitt outsourced many of those jobs. He had the American employees build the stage upon which his Bain Corp. announced to them that he was sending, shipping their jobs abroad. Many of these businesses were the backbone of the small towns where they wer located. These lost jobs caused the home values in these little towns to plummett.

Mitt has been a major catalyst in the suffering to which he is referring.

you guys drink too much of the koolaid. do some research and come back with facts other than what you read in the huffington post.

When this country collapses because of the liberal mentality you will be standing BEHIND us conservatives as we take it back from the clutches of the government you are creating!!!!!

Who was passing out the kool-aid and who was drinking it yesterday? Not any of us liberals. Did you shed some tears at Wrongme's bowl sheet story? Maybe you think now that his heart is not black as 'clean coal'?

We don't have to wait for your imaginary collapse and the help from your imaginary conservative saviors. We are doing it the right way, and WITHOUT the baggers' help.

Boehner is on vacation right now, didn't you know? They are off until after the elections. We need to give each and every one of them their walking papers.

Boehner is on vacation right now, didn't you know? They are off until after the elections.

And that tub of lard, sweat encrusted, Snafu-Sanunu, has the nerve to call Obama lazy.

RevDevPS

Don't you know that Sununu was implying that ALL black people are lazy?

Louie - it was painfully obvious, just like that other tub of lard, Gingrich and his not so secret code words for the Black man in the White House.

GM struck a deal in Shanghai wherein the company has agreed to develop an electric vehicle (EV) platform with its longtime Chinese partner SAIC.

GM has agreed to effectively move all future EV development to China. It could also mean that production of the vehicle itself will be moved overseas.

given the fact that Federal government helped itself to millions and millions of taxpayer dollars under the pretense that it was going to combat high unemployment by creating “green jobs,” it would seem that moving research and development (and possibly manufacturing) overseas is slightly, well, counterproductive.

The Pentagon ordered a couple of MI-17 helicopters earlier this year to replace severely damaged aircraft, and it purchased 10 more helicopters to replace aging Afghan aircraft. The helicopters were purchased from Russia for over a half-billion dollars, according to Defense Department officials.

With all the accusation regarding outsourcing emanating from the Obama White House and his re-election campaign team, the Pentagon may be embarrassed over the outsourcing of jobs and money to a Russian arms exporter because of concerns that the firm is also selling attack helicopters to the government of Syrian President Bashar al Assad.

Joebob23- The definition of a low information voter.

Thank you good sir or madam for seeing the same faults as I currently am...

Alex, when you said that I realized how low Romney has gone. A tear jerker to divert from the economy? Just when you think he was human you realize he has motives.

KJNC the perfect view of who Romney is was when he was trying to get across how he would help balance the budget. He wanted to say he would fire 47% of the 53% who voted for him but knew he couldn't so he focused on PBS and Big Bird. His soul would not allow him not to fire somebody so he choose the poor Yellow Bird who does not vote. It just popped out of his mouth like vomit he couldn't contain the verbal words of firing someone . I almost fell off the couch in laughter, than really did when he threw Ryan under the bus as he fired Ryan's plan right in front of 60 million people. Romney may have won the talking part of the debate but boy did they start back peddling some of the things he said immediatley. I am a political junkie to get the revelations of a person in watching their every move. When you begin to bully it is to hide how scared you really are. Had Obama just said BOO Romney would have jumped out of his skin as is the case with so many bullies. A fly on the wall can guarantee if Romney had to send his kids to war he would buckle under the fear. They would all be in the South of France doing charity work.

keck keck keck...what the heck keck. I will not insult you like many of your people like to do to others so I will just say did you watch the news today?

Umm Americans are understanding, that the GOP failed economic polices are what got us in this mess in the first place. Combine that with their 1800's approach on civil rights (you know, women should NOT be allowed to choose what they can and cannot due with their own bodies), is WHY obama will get re-elected.

The GOP Socialist experiment of redistributing wealth from the lower/middle class to the rich and corporations is OUT.

Blah, Blah, Blah Failed Economic policies, what the American people want, too far to go back, same crap that is spewing out of obamas mouth. Talking points, no action. oh yeah, it's the republicans fault for not stepping in line. All I know is that most of the people I know are not doing any better since this party took over, actually many are worse off. The only economic policies obama has are the free koolaid packets that he keeps feeding to the 47% uninformed so they will vote him in again

During the end of Bush's reign the company I work for was going down hill before it almost crashed on that faithful day. People got laid off and the stock went to an almost non-existant amount. Today we are pushing out record breaking production, profits have hit an all time high, our stock is at it's highest and yet people are still not being hired. Now a multi billion dollar industry if they told the truth would be for Obama escept they don't want to trickle down one more dollar than they have to. Trickle down has not worked from the point of the pyramid to the middle class base ever. The base which has always been the middle class people must once again be the ones that hold and keep America strong. By the way only a few think this new slogan "Trickle Down Government" will make anyone change their minds and vote for Romney. You see we are the Government once we understand that We The People own it. We have been duped into believing that Government is evil unless it is run by the republicans. A flood starts with one drop of water. One vote can swell into the sweep to put Obama back in for four more years.

Jay that poor little boy's parents and friends should be out stomping for Romney. tooting his horn for his unselfishness. When you tell stories like this which if true is really kind (one kind deed does not a hero make) of you but where are the people that can support this tale of sitting beside a dying boys bed and helping him to write a will. Who was this child to him that he would forego going to someone close to him to write this will? How many days did Romney sit at the bedside. And if this is the case Romney should be pushing to insure that every sick child has a chance at good health care. I am skeptical of this story itself. Did Romney spend any money to create say a foundation in this child's name since it appears it had such an impact on him that he is waving it around as his proof of having a heart. Perhaps he got some money from his Cayman Island account and invested it in studies to find a cure.

That would be true is his compassion was real not just a diversion from good news on the economy.

But I will say the Mitt "Apology Tour" had just as much meaning

KANNIN Please feel free to post a web link to this total BS claim you make about Flat Money or are just putting the rumor out there.

Totally false

Republicans for Obama

My pleasure Jay:

"Economists generally agree that high rates of inflation and hyperinflation are caused by an excessive growth of the money supply.^[6] Views on which factors determine low to moderate rates of inflation are more varied. Low or moderate inflation may be attributed to fluctuations in real demand for goods and services, or changes in available supplies such as during scarcities, as well as to growth in the money supply. However, the consensus view is that a long sustained period of inflation is caused by money supply growing faster than the rate of economic growth.^[7][8]

Interestingly the 47% who now pay no income taxes have a nasty surprise coming. Last week the Obama administration started printing money again out of thin air - $6,000 per household at last estimate. The massive inflation that this will cause reduces the value of everyone's dollar by exactly the same amount - rich/poor, industrious/lazy - it doesn't matter. Those 47% may be able to keep all the money they earn, but it will buy a lot less gas and groceries. The difference is what Obama is using to help fund his reckless spending.

Inflation is far worse for the 47% than a flat tax, because it will have a disproportionately large effect on those with fixed incomes.

Hi Kannin, I have been following your posts now for quite some time and I say keep up the good fight. You are the voice of sanity, intelligence and reason! I'm with ya!

Kanin forgets that it is the Fed that controls the value of the dollar. The slow easing in the value of the dollar is meant to increase the size of America's export market which is happening as I write, Kanin is just wrong.

Hey Dal This is the last part of Wikipedia's definition of PBS notice the last sentance.....wonder if that's why Romney wants to kill the funding.

"

In the United States, the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) (formerly National Educational Television) television network operates on a largely viewer-supported basis (see telethon), with commercial sponsors of specific programs. Over time, sponsorship announcements ("underwriting") have slowly transformed into something resembling regular (commercial) TV advertisements, though they are usually shorter and have a more muted tone than what normally appears on commercial and cable TV, and many organizations still only receive a short thanks for their contributions. Underwriting may only issue declarative statements (including slogans) and may not include "calls to action" (i.e. the station cannot give out prices, comparative statements, or anything that would persuade the listener to patronize the sponsor). Most communities also have Public-access television channels on local cable television systems, which are generally paid for by Cable television franchise fees and sometimes supported in part through citizens donations.^{[citation needed]}

US public broadcasting for television has, from the late 1960s onward, dealt with severe criticism from conservative politicians and think-tanks, which allege that its programming has a leftist bias"

Or at least to the Boca Raton Billionaires Club. It does beg the question of how much did that 14 year-old leukemia patient have to leave Romney in his will.

Nothing like a cut and paste about a guys wife. Seen this before and the sad thing is you have to cut and paste it. Maybe you need a lifestyle change. Get a job or something. There are plenty of jobs out there. Help us out

There is this Christian site called Patheos where a guy named Steve Benen has counted Romney's lies.

533 lies in 30 weeks. I can not post links, but everyone should look this place up.

Mitt Romney tells 533 lies in 30 weeks, Steve Benen documents them

They are only 'lies' to the leftists.

So sorry the truth hurts.

Joseph I feel for you. You speak of the anger of Michelle when it is you who seems outraged about life in general. Michelle can do whatever she wants once they leave the Whitehouse because they will be filthy rich with the stories they will be able to write telling of the antics of your DO NOTHING, NO ACCOUNT, AMERICAN EXPRESS HOLDING, PENSION STEALING, INSURANCE EMBEZZLING CONGRESS. Now that is what you should be P.Oed about. They promised America jobs if you would just vote them in, they promised to repeal Obama Care if you just voted them in, they promised to do away with Obama so he would never see a second term if you just voted them in. Well they were voted in and now the TEA (Take Everything Away Congress) is driving the cars they promised to do away with, buying gas on your dime, eating with your tax dollars, and laughing at the stupidity of those that fell for the dribble of lies they spread. Obama will get another four years in office so you might as well start screaming now. Have you seen the crowds that come to stand with him. Ouch I'm sure that hurts your feelings. Sorry. OBAMA/BIDEN 2012 TEA PARTY (out in 2012)

Nice to see the Klan can type. While not whittling crosses they like to get on newsvine and represent Romney. Hard to see through the pillow holes and type

Who Cares-numbers - I hope your white robe and hood are freshly starched. Crawl back under the rock you emerged from.

Obama had 60 senate seats for a very short time and some of those were DINOs anyway. It was never a sure thing and since the Reps made obstructionism a key priority, the fact that he got anything passed is astonishing.

The Dems NEVER had 60 seats. The best they had was 58 Dems plus two independents, and this for less than six months (the time between when the MN Senate race was certified and the election of Scott Brown). Even then, this is almost always a "theoretical" number only as Robert Byrd and Teddy Kennedy were usually too ill to attend Senate meetings and vote.

Who Cares--- The President did'nt have control of the House or the Senate in his first two years, although you on the right would like to think so, the Democrats had a majority in both houses, yes, but to have "control", you have to have a so called "super majority" which in the Senate is at least 60 votes, and in the House is a CLEAR TWO THIRDS MAJORITY! That is what "CONTROL" of congress boils down to. And the Democrats had NEITHER in President Obama's first two years in office. I hope that will clear things up.... for ALL of you who think that the President had "CONTROL" of congress! Though I probably wasted my time and you all wasted your parent's money by not paying attention in civics class.

You caught @!$%#e for suggesting single payer? My aunt saw that I wished the Obamas a happy anniversary on FB and complained to my dad about it.

Seriously, an anniversary wish to the First Couple earned an indirect rebuke. I can't imagine what a wish for single payer brought.

I know what you mean, My brother still blames it all on the Unions, Thats what drove the jobs over seas. I love him but you can't fix stupid...

And My wife works with a lady from Ireland and they all Hate the medical system, Rog, all the studys say most peolpe like it, Oh its the Liberal press with all there facts wrong... You can't fix stupid...

Its funny to see comments like yours because I feel exactly the same way. I forget where I read it, but someone said, "I didn't leave the Republican Party -- it left me!"

There seems to be no more fiscally conservative Republicans left. The deal was that we give the most prosperous the tax breaks and they share the wealth by creating jobs and investing in our economy -- growing the pie! Instead we have people like MItt who take that money and put it in an account overseas.

You have my vote Obama!

Dal....give it a rest and engage your brain...you ever heard of Staples (the company that Bain capital backed)....hardly brankrupt.....Romeny scored big points in the debate with the 90 billion Obama flushed down the toilet on companies like Solyndra.

[...you ever heard of Staples...]

You mean THIS Staples?

Seems they like to outsource their jobs as well..Romney must be so proud.

Ann....You mean the Valium Queen

Yeah, Ann. It is "so hard" Ann. My dressage horse was in the Olympics Ann. Stepford wife Ann. Insert your comment Ann.

If the data from the BLS is "bad" - Obama caused the problem. If the data from the BLS is "good" the Liberal media is fudging the data. Why do the GOPers cheer when the country is having a hard time, but jeer when the country is doing well? I don't think that is American! They must be furreners. Those Marxist, Socialist, Communist, Fascist, GOPer furriners!

Yeah, and we narrowly averted a full- scale, worldwide financial meltdown, in large part because of decisive action by President Obama (aided, it has to be said, by many of the same gang of Goldman Sachs sleazebuckets who helped nuke the economy in the first place!)

I ask again: What might have been accomplished in the last four years if we'd had what our British cousins call "a loyal opposition"? The Republican Party is wholly sold out to their unholy Pope, Grover Norquist, and will always do his bidding, the best interests of the working people be damned.

I'd like to hear just one Republican commenter on this site tell me that he or she truly believes that declaring one's allegiance to Pope Grover, over and above their oath of office, does not constitute an act of treason. I'll wait right here.

Right there with ya FoxTrotsky!!!! Tell us GOPers, how is a pledge to Grover Norquist more important than the well being of our country! We are waiting!

HolyHangrenade.....I am going to assume you are young and inexperienced and listen alot to Rachel Maddow, Ed Shultz, and such. Obama siad himself that raising taxes in times of a Recession is the wrong thing to do. Why is he proposing it now? Because his policies have increased the debt $1.5 trillion every year he has been in office. You can take all the income from the top 1% and give it to the Federal Government and it will run the country for 10 weeks. 62% of the Federal Budget is entitlements. You can't have a system where one person is paying into the system for every 3 people taking money out of the system. Rasing taxes on small business owners (I am one of them) is not the answer. If you increase my healthcare costs of my workers or increase my tax burden rate, I am less willing to take the risk to make my profit on volume than margin. I simply won't hire. I think Obama has some good ideas and Roney has some good ideas. Just don't understand why people have to be so nasty and angry.

Most likely the improvement in the employment numbers is due to hiring of temporary workers for the holidays. The real unemployment number is around 14% when you factor in people who have given up and stopped looking. I certainly have not seen any improvement around my area. We have openings in my company for engineers and accountants but can't seem to find any qualified applicants. Job creation needs to be in synch with GDP growth and we had the BOL report a decline in the unemployment rate with no increase in the GDP which is suspect.

Holiday hiring in September? Right. I've got this nice bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you.

[Most likely the improvement in the employment numbers is due to hiring of temporary workers for the holidays.]

Chris, holiday hiring typically starts in October...

Patriarch,

There's always more room for Romney-bashing. He's a corrupt corporate raider who deserves jail time for tax evasion in 2009.

Deal with it.

Again with the teleprompter thing... dude, you've seriously got the sheer brazen chutzpah to throw that out there, and then follow it with "wake up"?

What's this weird hangup y'all have about the President using a teleprompter? Oh yeah- that's fine if you're a white Republican (and you'll notice that all of them do, going back to Reagan at least).

Please, man- if you're going to sling mud, at least use the kind that'll stick.

The teleprompter response is the response of the desperate and lame. The GOPers have no good response. It is straw man this and straw man that. They are losing and too lame to admit it.

You Romneyites, you are so privileged. Just like John McCain said of Romney through gnashed teeth four years ago, "You say you are the candidate of change Governor. Well, if there is one thing you are - it's the candidate of change." Everybody got the joke. Why you teabaggers forgot the joke is beyond me. But you've got the candidate of change.

Pretty sad to see all the Romey bashing on this site. I would guess the majority of people slinging insults at Romney are black which is just reverse racism. Voting for someone just because of the color of his skin is wrong, but I think Obama welcomes creating division in the country. Thank goodness I have black friends who feel the same way. Glad 90 million americans saw the New Orleans video and watched the debate to see Obama as he really is. He most likley is a great college professor, but is nothing more than an empty suit without his speech writers and teleprompters. In the end, it really doesn't matter much who is President as it doesn't appear either one will have a congress to work with them. Romeny may have a slightly better chance since he was able to work with a Democratic house and senate in MA. Both sides aren't being totally honest, but I think the clueless would rather have haters like Rachel Maddow, Ed Shultz, etc think for them than themselves. Stop hating so much and be willing to compromise. It the only way as America is not a dictatorship.

The only division in this country is produced by the Republicans. In fact, assuming that people who don't like Romney are black is racist in and of itself.

Republicans have their own haters: Rove, Palin, Couter....etc.
