Subscribe to RSSThe presidential race heated up as Mitt Romney continued his assault of President Obama's record in Florida, saying that a 7.8 percent unemployment rate is nothing to celebrate. NBC's Ron Mott reports.
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – Mitt Romney concluded a three-day Florida campaign swing with one of his largest crowds of the campaign season packing a town square to hear his retooled stump speech, which now highlights the sometimes-rigid candidate's personal side.
"Now I’m optimistic – I want you to know that great days are ahead," Romney said Sunday before more than 10,000 supporters. "I know something about great human beings in this country. It’s that that gives me the confidence that our future will be so bright, because I’ve seen how Americans respond to challenge – and even to tragedy."
Romney then repeated three tales of courage in the face of death and tragedy that he debuted days ago in this critical battleground state.
The stories, told in succession, have quickly become a staple of Romney's stump speech and are designed to highlight the candidate's personal compassion.
One story even makes note of Romney's time as a pastor of a Massachusetts ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – a period once all but off limits for Romney, who rarely spoke of his Mormon religion in the early months of the campaign.
“I was serving as a pastor in my congregation at church and the – young fellow in our ward named David Oparowski, his parents from Medford, Massachusetts – his dad a firefighter, his mom a stay at home mom. They raised their two sons. But at age 14, David contracted leukemia and became very, very ill," Romney said. "It was clear that there was no good conclusion to this leukemia."
Romney ends the story of David's untimely death with a recitation of the phrase: "Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose," borrowed from the NBC’s high school football drama, "Friday Night Lights." That phrase, with the "can't lose" removed, also appeared in a campaign fundraising email from Ann Romney on Sunday.
The former Massachusetts governor also hit all five points of his economic plan. He also noted that his plan would protect Medicare for current seniors and reform it for the future.
Given the heated battle for the senior vote here in Florida, the Obama campaign quickly fired back on Medicare reform.
"Mitt Romney would turn Medicare into a voucher program and increase costs for retirees by more than $6,000,” Obama campaign spokesperson Lis Smith said in a statement. “The truth hurts – especially for the middle class families who would suffer under Romney’s policies.”

Looks like Obama would be worried about this bad economy and 28 million out of work and less about an election.
After 4 years of campaining he cares less about people being out of work.
How pathetic!
Willard is whoring for "pats on the back" for things most people do anonymously!
Tales of courage MY ASS!
He's a panderer who has NO MORAL COMPASS!
In the late 1990′s, Mitt presented himself to the Board seeking the building of a 94,000 square foot Mormon Temple. Despite a packed room of those opposed to the Temple, letters inundating the newspapers in opposition to the Temple and lawsuits challenging the building of the Temple, Mitt Romney took to the floor and argued on behalf of building the Temple which was, in fact, approved and built. In August, 2000, at the time the Temple was opened, Mitt gave an interview with the Globe stating “It feels great to have a temple closer to home.”
Tagg Romney cut his road trip short stumping for his father’s presidential election campaign to come home to attend a meeting rescheduled and set for August 15, 2012. He had participated and helped organize the community in a united effort to thwart the purchase of the land by the hospice company, and to “Preserve Our Neighborhood.” Signs were everywhere and the room was once again packed for the hearing. At the time of the hearing, Tagg Romney, like his father a little over a decade before him, took to the floor and argued that the increased traffic, ambulances, coroner vehicles and excessive employee traffic would cause problems for the current homeowners (All these complaints were contradicted by the hospice company). Tagg spoke about the real issue bothering him: The reduction of his home’s property value.
I lost both my parents in 2010. Both died in hospice. This story is personal.

“Governor Mitt Romney’s staff spent tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars on cross-country travel and new televisions, VCRs and furniture for their offices in their first six months in office, according to a published report. ... Romney’s aides spent almost $40,000 on new office equipment and more than $22,000 on travel ... The spending came as Romney was making funding cuts to programs including ones serving veterans, the mentally disabled and the elderly.” (“Romney’s Staff Spent Thousands Of Tax Dollars On New Office Equipment, Travel,” The Associated Press, 11/16/03)
“From all accounts, Mitt Romney’s visit to that veterans shelter just behind Boston’s City Hall Plaza was not one of the brighter moments of his campaign for US senator. When director Ken Smith told him that one of the things the shelter needed was fresh milk, Romney replied jokingly that maybe the veterans should be taught how to milk cows.” (Michael Kenney, “Romney Comment Leads To Milk Run,” The Boston Globe, 11/27/94)
Tthe sordid tale of Mitt's tenure on the board of Damon Clinical Laboratories, which plead guilty to charges of defrauding Medicare and agreed to pay what was at the time the largest health care criminal fraud fine in history - $35,300,000. They also agreed to larger civil fines which totaled $83,700,000.
State Sought To Increase User Fees For Long-Term Care At The Chelsea Soldiers’ Home. “Gov. Mitt Romney is vehemently opposed to raising taxes.

Sure Joe, let's go and return to GWB's policies, which in reality is what Romney wants. Go figure.
Evidently President Obama didn' clean up their crap quickly enough, eh? So let's turn back the clock instead of continuing to moving forward.
Yeah JOBS ARE UP so trick bag Romney does not want to talk about the economy
OBAMA 2012

Pat Boston MA
Go copy and paste Pat you good at it...but Bush hasn't been President in 4 years...Obama has been. Why does libs always blame it on Bush...Obama knew what he was getting into and did nothing for 4 years but campaign. Then he hung his head when conforted by Romney.
War on women,
War on fuel,
War on America,
What are we to do?
Fast and Furious,
And Benghazi too.
Several are dead,
Because of you.
Splitting the country,
In more ways than one.
You won't be happy,
Until you have won.
Wasted tax dollars,
Right down the drain
.And you want more,
You are inflicting such pain.
On November the sixth,
I will cast my vote.
And I hope and pray,
This is far as it goes.
I am a proud veteran,
Who went to Viet Nam.
And I will not bury,
My head in the sand.
To "The Messiah" Obama,
You must go.
For the good of the country,
God please make it so.
John D. 10/1/12
Pat,
Damn right it's personal!
This phony creep is about as compassionate as John Wayne Gacy!
Joe, President Obama didn't hang his head. He just happened to find himself up against a serial liar.
Just like Joe Biden is going to be in his debate against a guy Ryan who voted for all of Bush's failed policies.
We're heading in the right direction with President Obama. Did you happen to see the medicare fraud our government just uncovered? Over $400 million.
Looks like ol' Mitt has gotten personal with seniors and they will respond loudly in November! "Boooooooooooooooooooooo!!"
President Obama in November! He is clearly our only rational choice!
Maybe the same 11 people came to see Mittens as they did Ryan. LOL
Jobs? Seems to me the only person who is held accountable for jobs is President Obama.
Take Jack Welch for instance. The guy who made news last week for questioning the integrity of job numbers. Now I understand why he questioned them. According to his philosphy, there ain't no jobs! Thanks to him.
_____________
No one is credited more than Jack Welch for popularizing outsourcing and offshoring (yes, it is not just offshoring and India). Remember his original formula - 70:70:70? That is 70% of all GE processes could be outsourced; 70% of all that could be outsourced could be offshored; and 70% of all that could be offshored could be offshored to India. The first 70% actually stood - or rather stands - for outsourcing. Like Moore's law in semiconductor, Welch's formula, by and large, is still valid as an end planning formula for large diversified corporations. As a philosophy, well, not so sure.

Have you given any serious thought to your post......Think about it!
The meeting the GOP had on Inauguration night, 2009, to plan to do NOTHING!
McConnell......"Make Obama a one term President"
Limbaugh........"Hope he fails"
Tea People.......Filibuster anything and everything in the Senate.....then pass nothing in the House!
TeaPeople radicals have subverted President Obamas policies since day one....
Wasted the entire Congress on repealing ObamaCare, naming post offices, and restricting a womans right to choice............That is when they were in session, which was rare!
Vote all TeaPeople OUT!
Obama/Biden 2012!
Fisty said:
Pastors are "anonymous". That's about as stupid a statement as I've read. Until Dal (we all know what the acronym "dal" stands for) said this:
After the article said the crowd was 10,000.
Just my opinion. The DNC should find smarter trolls to pay to post their garbage. The ones they are paying aren't up to the job.
Romney/Ryan in a landslide. Really looking forward to Biden demonstrating why the world knows him as "dumbass". I read an article which said he has been in preparation for 10 days. My guess is he barely remembers he's in govt and is "Clintonizing" any young intern he runs across.
It will be hilarious.
*popcorn, bitch*
Feisty, phony crap it is. I guess pandering to the hateful tea party and wealthy elite didn't quite work out for him, so now he's pandering to decent people. Too little too late.
That closed door video of the 47% spoke volumes. The way Paul Ryan voted in Congress speaks volumes.
Neither he nor Ryan give a damn about anyone but the rich. Their own records and words prove it.
All you blow hard liberals can do is blame everything on Bush. If Obama happens to fool enough of you liberals and he gets re-elected he will have to change his blame tune because he is responsible for the past 4 years, not Bush.
I don't know why you all can't post about the current issues instead of the ones that your party is trying to keep saying that is entirely NOT true. Obama just kept saying it even after Romney told him that it was not true and explained to him the exact truth but all he could do was bow his head and blink his eyes. Oh how he missed that prompter. Sorry Obama, you are not such a good speaker after all - maybe a good reader but not a good speaker.
Romney/Ryan 2013.......
Romney lies. Remember the "credibility gap" Nixon faced in the 70's; this is the same thing. When you just keep lying-after a while people don't believe you no matter what you say. And this is the situation for Romney. If he was president could you believe him? Could you really? Let's just say when those mormon missionaries are out trying to proselytise, they sure don't mention planet Khobar.
Which plan, Mitt? Last week's or George W's that you ran on in the right-wing wacko primaries?
Any specifics, Mr. Reboot? Or was that $5 trillion tax cut just for your Boca Raton style fundraiser audiences?
Obama 2012/Romney 1040
I do not blame Bush for Romney being a failure. ROmney built that
Hey Pat,
You do know Jack Welch has been a darling of the left for a couple of decades? Their model CEO?
TFF how the degenerates are imploding.
Obamanoids are hilarious.
Then tell us dear... why does Willard continue to open his BIG pandering mouth?
Pastors also don't run in packs, hold people down and cut their hair off against their will!
Come on... put on your tin foil hat, fasten the chin strap and explain why Willard is exploiting these people?
No thanks Goober - I have plenty of my own! ;o)
Constipated Rebellion is indulging in a little bit of wishful thinking today, isn't he? Unemployment is 7.8% and the American people aren't impressed by Willard's lies. Really looking forward to your crazed excuses and whiny conspiracy theories the morning after your president is reelected. Be sure to bring along a box of tissues; you'll definitely be needing them.
President Obama in November! He is clearly our only rational choice!
One more poor debate performance and there will be a landslide.
No one has restricted a woman's right to have an abortion or buy her own birth control.
Thanks to the republicans for stopping Pelosi, Reid and Obama in their trek toward driving this country off a financial cliff.
Over five trillion added to the debt. One trillion dollar deficits every year into infinity. Fifty percent more people on food stamps. Fewer jobs this year than last. Fewer jobs last year than the year before. The slowest growth rate ever recorded. Fast & Furious. Four Americans killed in Lybia and Obama runs off to Vegas to campaign.
BTW - This unemployment rate you are so happy about is Obama's Best rate since he's been in office. &.8% was Bush's WORST unemployment rate.
Who made the biggest mess?
That much is certain, but it won't go the way the voices in your head are going on about, DB.

"'Now I'm optimistic – I want you to know that great days are ahead,' Romney said..."
Well said!
For once, I am in complete agreement with something said by Citizen Romney!
Because in 29 short days, his visage will evaporate from the political scene for the foreseeable future, America can continue its reawakening from the nightmare of the Bush "presidency," and with a bit more effort, Congress will see a large correction from the failure called the "tea party" experiment.
Happy days are indeed at hand!
I'm sure you are after that liefest you put on during Wednesday's debate. I even bet your back stings a bit from all of the slapping you and your cronies have been doing since then. Got news for you Romney, no one that didn't support you before have jumped ship and hate you even more. So keep up the smugness. It will make your concession speech even sweeter.
I could never stand the site of Jack Welch myself. Or his wife. Man, you should read about HER. Yikes.
Anyway, here's more Welch:
Jack Welch Probably Shouldn't Bring Up Doctored Numbers:
Indeed, GE agreed to a $50 million fine in 2009 after the Securities and Exchange Commission charged that it had been toying with its accounting numbers for years to make it look as if the company’s performance had met or exceeded analysts’ expectations. Forbes‘s Dan Fisher wrote in 2009:
Like a professional baseball player revealed to have been dabbling in steroids, GE prolonged a nearly decade-long record of meeting or exceeding analyst expectations by resorting to tricks including “selling” locomotives to financial institutions in transactions that looked a lot like loans, and fiddling with the accounting for interest-rate hedges.
So maybe that’s why Welch suspects book-cooking where everyone else refuses to see it. He knows it wouldn’t be the first time a major institution has gotten a little tricky with their numbers.

Pandering? Surely you jest. Surely you know your messiah has:
"African-Americans for Obama"
"Latinos for Obama"
"Lesbians for Obama"
"Illegals for Obama"
"MILFs for Obama"(I made that one up, but you get the point)
Pandering? Delusional, uninformed people should keep their incoherent thoughts to themselves.
Romney speaks to real Americans who want a stronger America for a brighter future for our children.
People such as yourself only want their govt check.
Obama's "truth-o-meter" is always false. The man didn't even recognize the truth as it crushed him in the debate. But it was hilarious watching him squirm.
The droning is palpable. Real unemployment is 14% and all the false numbers in the world put out by the liars are not going to change it.You're as foolish as your messiah.
Romnesia: The affliction whereby the sufferer is unable to remember past positions policies or moral stances.
Michigan nor,
Your truth-o-meter is malfunctioning. Try not storing it in a dark miost stanky place.
Ummm... NO actually I wasn't!
Of course you have credible sources for your bull@!$%#... right?
However, I see you are not up to answering a simple question, which doesn't surprise me in the least!
Enjoy that *popcorn* while you can Goober & make sure to keep your head firmly planted between your cheeks, it will all be over in a few weeks.
Then, impotent little internet trolls, like yourself, can wallow in your misery!
No, it's not. However, for those of you (such as Constipated Rebellion) who are so eager to search for lies, here is the short list of Romney's whoppers. Enjoy:

It's personal...to those 47%.
At least Mitt is right this time.
Romney has more positions than the Kama Sutra.
Damnit Sailcat!
How DARE you confuse them with facts! lol
I read an article yesterday (I can't remember where) about the Romney campaign plane. They were all hooting & a hollering about their supposed debate victory when the jobs numbers were announced while in flight.
All of a sudden - silence. A sort of depression was evident throughout the plane.
That's today's Republican Party with Romney at the helm. Good news for America and Romney and his bunch don't even have the decency to applaud it.
After all, it's all about them. Not America.
How could they celecbrate the improving economy? They've spent the past three years sabatoging it.
Sorry, Feisty, but it had to be done.
ALWAYS a riot to watch the drones justify their positions with bullsh!t. Politifact is fiction. Thinking informed people do not take them seriously.
Romney beat your savior over his head with his crown of thorns. Then he crucified him with facts and Obama won't be rising in three days or ever..
Foreign policy is the next topic losers. It has been amply demonstrated that your messiah's administration is a failure in this area. Romney will shred his amateurish, platitudinal, dogmatic, bullsh!t in the same fashion as he did your lord's "economic" policy.
F"ing hilarious how the drones keep on droning when facts are not their friends.
Only one more reason I ♥ you Sailcat!
Of course not, Constipated Rebellion. They earned a Pulitzer Prize for accuracy and integrity and since those two principles are not embraced by the GOP or its minions PolitiFact is irrelevant to your imaginary world and the hallucinations you enjoy so much, right?
BTW drones,
Romney has taken the lead in the "toss up" states according to left leaning polls. Do you think this bodes well for your lord and savior or your welfare checks?
Hilarious. How many will claim they're not on assistance?
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahhahhahahhahahahahha. Drone. Imbecilic drone. I will laugh especially hard at you on Nov 7. Of course, I think you won't be around.
Trolls won't be paid after the 6th.
Not reallly, the only thing I find hilarious is a little man, like yourself, drowning in quick-sand up to his beady little eyeballs!
Pssst... Goober - THERE is a reason YOU and your ilk prove yourself to be low information voters!
Thankfully, you all never fail to disappoint! ☺
PS: Pay attention undecided voters... when you ask a right wing nut to defend their positon, they bend over and grab their ankles! lol
And, it isn't a pretty sight!
Conservative Rebellion
A plethora of religious references in your post 1.41, to be sure!
I can't wait to see the "Christian Coalition" and other literalist so-called "Christian" factions tie themselves in knots trying to justify a vote for a Mormon.
Take it from a Christian who's capable of thinking outside the dogma, they're gonna become instant contortionists!
Con reb,
Sounds like you've got Foxitis, see your doctor.
Here are some of the truths shared by President Obama. It's a pity Mitt can't tell the truth.

Constipated Rebellion seems to have a problem with facts, doesn't he? His fantasy world must be a pretty fragile place.
Sailcat,
RCP is just one of my sources. I use several others, who often get polls that RCP doesn't post.
The Shift that occured was 4 - 5 points, on polls that are averaging the 2004 & 2008 voting patterns. This is looking back to the previous time that poller posted. In Florida, Virginia, and Ohio posting Romney leads for the first time in a month, Other close states like Nevada, Iowa, will not be far behind. The only thing that can hold Obama in the lead is the previous polls which he lead in. These are early, the next batch of polls may actually be a couple points more of shift.
Now, consider that Wisconsin has shifted toward Romney it is not unreasonable to see other 5 - 10 point away states probably will have narrowed also. Those states include Wisconsin (7), Oregon (9), Minnesota, (8) Pennsylvania (7). States with a 10 - 15 point cushion New Mexico 10.5, Connecticut (12), Washington (11), Michigan, (12)
As I said. One more bad debate and with a similar shift, the election becames a landslide for Romney
gcooper?
religious references? You have peeked my curiosity. Perhaps because the rest of your post is pure idiocy and what I know as FOS.
I'm not "religious", nor did anything I post reference religion. I can only assume you are a left leaning fool with no clue.
sailcat?
same stupid sh!t. Learn a new song.
Mitt is going to socialize the United States while Pres. Obama has been too conservative to (well to the right of) majority of liberals.
The Mormons have an elaborate cradle-to-grave welfare system that Most Americans would find alien to them.
.
Obama lived a comfortable early life because of the income from his maternal grandma..a banking executive who died a day before the historical election in 2008.
Grandma will be missed, because obviously Grandma had raised Barry right.
Reality? Get used to it because it is going to haunt you all the way to President Obama's reelection, little guy.
And DB, if you keep twisting the facts like that they'll break. Just so you know.

Fisty says:
I know you never ever did anything as a teen that you regret now. Thank you miss holier than thou. What a joke. Going back to that old frigging story. Extremely pathetic. But we have grown to expect nothing else from you and your ever praising minions.
Speaking of pathetic, how about these quotes by your favorite failed candidate, Willard Milton Romney?
"I'm Mitt Romney and, yes Wolf, that is also my first name!" —Mitt Romney, at the beginning of a November 2011 Republican presidential debate, getting his own name wrong (his first name is ''Willard,'' and his middle name is "Milton", or as he seems to prefer, ''Mitt'')
"I pushed the idea of managed bankruptcy, and finally, when it was done and help was given, the companies got back on their feet. So, I'll take a lot of credit for the fact this industry's come back." -Mitt Romney taking undeserved credit for the resurgent American auto industry in May, 2012 in spite of a New York op-ed piece Romney wrote in 2008 entitled Let Detroit Go Bankrupt in which he said, "If General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye."
"When you give a speech, you don't go through a laundry list. You speak about the things you think are important." —Mitt Romney, when asked about failing to mention the troops in his nomination speech at the Republican National Convention, Fox News interview, Sept. 7, 2012
"I saw my father march with Martin Luther King!" —GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, bragging in 2007 about his family's record on civil rights. Romney later admitted he didn't technically see his father march with King.
''I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that's the America millions of Americans believe in. That's the America I love.'' —Mitt Romney (January 2012)
Yeah, that ought to satisfy anyone foolish enough to think Willard is going to win this election...
One story even makes note of Romney's time as a pastor of a Massachusetts ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – a period once all but off limits for Romney, who rarely spoke of his Mormon religion in the early months of the campaign.
Mitt please keep talking about your cult and it's quest for power.

Obama re-elected? The majority of the nation soundly rejected his agenda in the last major election. 2010 was an indisputable lean towards conservatism.That swell has not simply gone away. If a person doesn't think so they are simple left leaning political hacks oblivious to reality.
JMO
The Obama apologists are getting DESPERATE in cyber land!!!
There isn't a single cogent argument on here expressing WHY Obama deserves reelection!
*23 million Americans out of work
*4 consecutive TRILLION dollar deficits
*43 consecutive months of unemployment above 7.8%
*ZERO solutions to curb long term debt and deficits other than raising taxes
But what did we expect from a President whose only private sector job was as a 6-hour-a-week law lecturer???
Well then...the Mittster must be expecting Obama to win. :)
Conservative Rebellion
re post 1.59: "2010 was an indisputable lean towards conservatism.That swell has not simply gone away."
I kinda think the swelling will go down appreciably after a good application of "Preparation 11-6-12."
It's been proven effective highly against hemorrhoids, so the benefits should transfer to the "tea party" and other failed conservative thinking equally.
Arthur66 and Liberal-Truth:
Considering the steaming pile that George
DubyaTeflon Bush left, I'd say the progress is quite gratifying indeed. Perhaps if you read about the Great Depression and learned about the causes thereof and see what's been avoided here by comparison, you might understand why we're optimistic and, yes, happy.But I sincerely doubt you'll bother.
I wonder how many 'Davids' Mitt will want to look at if he repeals Obamacare and they can't get insurance or medical treatment?
I hope the people of florida are not getting brainwashed by Romney/Ryan lies. I for one don't want to see Social Security privitized or medicare go the way of vouchers. I don't want more war, where our children and grandchildren go away to fight another war so Cheney and the gang can make more money.When you want to increase millitary spending its not to let the weapons just sit around. Swing states, send Romney/Ryan packing. Vote President Obama 2012
Since it is lower than at any time since the incompetent Bush administration I would think you would be happy. There's just no pleasing some people.
Can anyone tell me what ideology difference there is between Bush and Romney?
G. Bud:
Romney never bankrupted his own businesses, just ones his company owned.
Bush cut out the middleman and ruined his own companies.
G. Bud,
Bush was born with a silver spoon, and he used it to finagle his way out of Vietnam. Whereas, Romney was born with a......uh, bad example.
Bush had a father who served in high office and used the name recognition and connections for a political career of his own. Whereas, Romney had a father who....uh, another bad example.
Bush didn't lie as much as Romney...oh wait, WMD. Almost forgot about that.
Bush had a truly evil vice-president. Whereas, Romney has the kid from "the omen"....oops, another bad example
Bush was a crappy governor who let the Democratic legislature do all the heavy lifting, then he would step in sign the legislation and take credit for everything. Whereas, Romney was.....oh forget it!
Romney has better hair! There. Is that enough of a difference for you!
Obama 2012/Romney 1040
Joe 66: Obama knew what he was getting into and did nothing for 4 years but campaign.
I disagree...Obama also played a lot of golf!
I went to the Romney event in Orlando and the crowd was MASSIVE!! They said 10,000 and that very well may be true but could easily fill a decent size professional basketball stadium. The support of Romney is growing in leaps and bounds now and the latest polls are going to drastically move towards Romney in the coming weeks and the reason is simple: Obama can't run on his record.
When the ONLY chance Obama has is to try and attack the opponent then it is over. If Obama had done ANYTHING positive over the last 4 years then all he should have to do is remind the voters of his "success". But Obama doesn't have any - so try to attack Romney. And that is fine - keep it up because that just portrays desperation.
Over 23 million unemployed. GDP growing at a pathetic 1.3%. 1 in 7 on Food Stamps. 1 in 6 in Poverty. 50% of college graduates can't find a full-time job in their field. Businesses stagnant. New business growth at a low not seen since the 70's. Lowest labor-participation rate since the 70's. Highest percent of unemployed 6 months or more since the Great Depression. Added over $6 TRILLION in debt. The Obama record is a clear and obvious failure - and Mitt Romney is needed to fix this mess Obama has created.
So just continue your desperation of trying to attack Romney because each day Romney speaks of how he will fix this country and economy, and each day Obama NOT able to speak about what he has done (nothing - absolutely nothing) and what he plans to do, is one more day the voters realize what a failure Obama is. Just 4 more weeks and we will be able to fix this catastrophe of Barack Hussein Obama by kicking his butt back to Chicago.
You seem to live in quite a dimly lit fantasy world, don't you?
wow sailcat,you have been posting on this for 7 HOURS? my god man unplug for awhile! its the internet their are other stories you can go to F>Y>I
Gee Feisty, speaking of whoring around, how are you doing these days?
Which begs the question: How far down has trickle-down taken the middle class? And why do you want to go back there? Progress has been slow (thanks largely to Tea Bagger obstructionism) but with Obama's leadership we are moving in the right direction.
I am flummoxed that anyone would find Willard Romney fit for the highest office in the land. I am appalled at the short memories of people who have apparently forgotten where we were exactly four years ago today.
Get past the pigmentation, Tea people.
RE-ELECT OBAMA/ BIDEN 4 more for 44!!
Romney's idea of help and charity is confined to Mormon ranks.
Would we all have to convert to Mormonism to get medical care? Is that his ultimate master plan? He'd get a lot of brownie points in heaven if he were able to pull that off...
Kaybee: I am too "flummoxed" that anyone would STILL find Obama fit for the highest office in the land after the last four years of complete disaster? I am too appalled at the short memories of people who have apparently forgotten what a failure Obama has been the last four years.
It's kind of interesting now to scan down through these posts... There are like 10 good little liberal soldiers, continuing to spew the mantras of "Romney cares only about the rich", and "Romney want's to do away with Medicare".... Romney is out on the stump today pitching his economic plan and his ideas. Obama is out on the stump criticizing Romney! If Obama wants to have a chance, his best bet would be to quit hurling insults at Romney and tell us what his plans are (other than what hasn't been working for four years). People want to know why they should give Obama four more years, and he isn't giving any reasons (other than how evil Romney is).
Obama said it best in the last election: When you don't have a record to run on, all you can really do is criticize your opponent. For once, he spoke the truth.
ProCorporate Welfare
Many of us view things like 9/11 as COMPLETE DISASTERS, whereas this steady improvement economically and socially has been JUST the turn around we need. If we didn't have this obstructionist Congress, I feel quite certain we could have improved the JOBS situation, too.
On what basis are you opining this recent 3 1/2 years as COMPLETE DISASTER?
Pat Boston
You discussed how Mitt Romney visited a vet's shelter and joked about how they need milk. You smirked that Romney went uncaringly on his way. Well, to finish the story, milk showed up at the door, enough for every veteran, every day. Two years later, the vets found our that it was Mitt Romney who had made sure the vets received milk every day since Mitt Romney went that one day and realized the vets had none.
We should all be so lucky that Obama would even have ONE story where he split with his own personal money for altruistic reasons.
Mitt Romney's stories of atruistic deeds go on forever.
I find it odd how many different Christian denominations that have previously spent decades labeling Mormons as non-Christians, even to the point of writing volumes of books and literature denouncing Mormonism as an evil cult, now cling to Mitt Romney the Mormon as their political saviour.
And yet President Obama, a confessed Christian, is labeled a Muslim and painted as evil.
WheresCongress,
Perhaps President Obama does not publicly advertise his personal giving as Mr. Romney does.
@ Joe66,
You would think the Republican Party would have thought the same thing when asked to help come up with a plan to get us out of this mess President Obama's predecessor got us into! But then again only fools listen to Romney's B.S. When will you pull your head out of your Anus and start paying attention?
One story even makes note of Romney's time as a pastor of a Massachusetts ward
They aren't pastors, they are Bishops. But either way, much like the Barbie/Ken collection, the face of Romney we see today is "Compassion Ken". This is a different than "La Jolla Ken", that comes complete with car elevator (Malibu Barbie would be envious). "Lean Mean Bain Machine Ken" comes with a machete to slice through Medicare, leaving a couple pennies for future retirees, after paying into the system for a lifetime. "Master-debator Ken" has a string you pull that tells you lie after lie
Ken Romney's Slogan...No We Ken't
Let's rumble...
Master-de-bator 'Master - bator?' Ken vs. Big Bird?
...
or 'Master - bator?' Ken
I don't know which is more stirring: a corporate raider taking the time to comfort a dying boy or a corporate raider making sure we know how righteous he is even though he has destroyed thousands of people's lives. But a really good story. He may ruin your life but he'll comfort you as you die- if you're a Mormon
Does anyone else think that it is creepy and wrong to counsel a dying boy to create a will? What kind of mind would think of that?
Yo Joe numbers: You have been reported as making a personal attack on the Vine, and have also been reported to the local authorities as a threat of rape and murder. Don't be surprised when the Feds come knocking. We know who you are and where to find you.
Joe..... tisk tisk tisk. I see you have a case of Romnesia. Flip floping and random blurting of useless information. As with your candidate, everything repubes do is premature. Stop blowing your wad and save your limp wrist so that you can help Willard fill out job applications for another job, cause he won't be getting in this White House.
Exactly, will the real Mr Romney stand up. By the way, the post by Conservative Rebellion , calling someone a bitch , a real winner. I see the types that support Romney. You must not be the 47%.
romney, I can still smell the stench of your campagin because the truth is, SH*T smells no matter what you do to cover it up. romney is still a moron pastor, sorry I mean mormon and wears magic underwear to bed. Is it OK for morons to lie, especially a leader of the church?? What a dork, moron, dweeb, dillhole, bungmunch, and a liar!!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
I've been trying to figgure out who Mitt is. I think I have it.
He's A@@hole Mitt.
In spades.
Is he made by Bain Mattel?
Romney is a total loser. First the APOLOGY TOUR he did and now this. We already saw THE WOLF no matter how it dresses now
I hear Mitt's working on a new one now. Something about, as a young Man in France, He once stuck His finger in a hole in a dam and kept the dam from breaking and the escaping water to a trickle. Course there's an old, inactive prostitute, who says It wasn't His finger, and is threatening to sue Him for claiming She was a dam back then. Also she says the sum-bitch ran away before paying Her.
Suffer? How about being eliminated, which is what the real goal is. Romney's manta is "If you're not smart enough, or lucky enough like me, then you don't deserve anything more than bare existence. And i'm going to create 12 million jobs, I just don't know where yet."
It's disturbing that Mitt still wants to change MediCare into a vulture system. It's also laughable that he pledges not to do the reform to the current recipients.
.
Imaging those close to retiring age have worked so hard and contributed so much will see their benefits cut - or at least vulturized. A reminder to Mitt - these folks tend to turn up at the voting booth too.
Imagine...not 'imaging'
.
.
typo in #3.5, sorry
As a Canadian, I pray to God that Romney doesn't get elected President ...his position on various issues changes every day...and what he says changes depending on who his audience is ! He is a walking, lying etch-a-sketch.
I just cringe when I think of what will happen to the U.S. economy under Romney/Ryan......and that, will no doubt translate into disaster for EVERYONE !!!
4 more for 44 !! Obama/Biden NEED to win !!
Ever think what it might be like if Obama wins...4 more years of no jobs ...millions more on welfare ...thats the way its been for the last 4 years...you better think real hard.
Happy Thanksgiving, Garcia
Thanks very much !
I'm very happy you're Canadian. you cant vote to keep Obumbler in office.
Flip flop Romney. His position changes daily
Garcia, If you like Obama so much, take him. Then we'll see how long before your pipeline projects are shut down!
You said it! Why should I pay to build an Canadian firms oil pipeline, to sell oil to Asia?
4 more 4 44 to save the USA from stupid people like you.
Thank you my Canadian Citizen. Some of us are PRAYING HARD IN THE U. S. also. Romney would be a Disaster for the Country.
With all the money Romney has then why hasn't he started up company's here over the years? Why hasn't he put people to work and that would show he is a real business man. So he took Manufacturing jobs over seas for cheeper labor and what we got was jobs that sold the end product.
Obama/Biden 2012 and vote in democrats for a better future and to end gridlock.
Looks like you finally figured it out...smart man you are...LOL
OBOZO has been complaining about Romney having no plan......Well where's obama's plan. HIS PLAN IS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ROMNEY HAVING NO PLAN. SAY NO TO FOUR MORE YEARS OF NOTHING.
"HIS PLAN IS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ROMNEY HAVING NO PLAN. SAY NO TO FOUR MORE YEARS OF NOTHING."
Well, then, that sure makes Romney's 'non plan' so much better ?
Obama's plan is sitting before the House Republicans. They just won't vote on it.
Mitt's plan is to have the super rich invest their tax savings in shell corporations in the Cayman Islands, because clearly, that is how you create jobs in the US.
Where is OBAMA'S PLAN?? Hmmmmmmm OUR JOBS!!!! Have you watched the news? Romney is all talk. Obama gave US JOBS
Here's a list of all the bills Congress voted down or filibustered so they wouldn't pass. Because their first priority was jobs jobs jobs. They did pass internally 33 bills restricting abortion and birth control because they were the issues that must have been holding the country back. Romney Ryan is Bush again-- no thank you.

NO
Does the GOP control
all of congress?
You bet they do.
The GOP will vote themselves a trillion in tax entitlements but drop the ball on a job bill for veterans. I will vote for Obama because the GOP wants America to fail
Stay and Drive, this is for you, your hero's the baggers and their performance for the past 2 years:
The Republican party, in Congress has:
Introduced 46 abortion bills. introduced 113 bills on religion,
introduced 73 bills on the family relationships, introduced 36 bills on marriage, introduced 72 bills on firearms,
introduced 604 bills on taxation, introduced 467 bills on government investigation, Forgot 33 votes to repeal Health Care 1.6 billion 80 hours lost!
Now THAT Is Real Job Creation,,,,,,,,
Where's the Violence Against Women Act?, Vet Jobs Bill Voted down, Ryan voted for TARP and begged for stimulus money. Your hatred is misplaced. You can be assured more of the same if Romney gets his toe in the door. Congress doing the peoples business, yeah right, and its all the Presidents fault.
Obama 2012
TeaPeople held up in the Senate a bill to give the Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) raise to surviving spouses and those receiving disability payments...........
Guess that Support the Troops thingy, is only a phrase to the TeaPeople!
dal says:
I see once again the one who has no responsibility for and cannot creat jobs gets the credit. How about those evil tea partiers who got elected on jobs. You've got jobs yet they had nothing to do with it? You people are blind sheep plain and simple. If not for the so called "obstruction", businesses would not hire at all. It is only due to the stoppage of the runaway train of liberalism that business people see a little light and will very slowly (due to the fact Obama still has office), and I mean slowly and cautiously add any jobs due to the fact that if he does things by the book, stupid crap can be stopped by the House. Only when the executive orders and executive privilege hand are played will his BS get through. And I for one as well as millions of other Americans don't like what we see. Example: the watered down "dream act" that Obama has put into place.
Oh and that veterans jobs bill, when it came time to vote the libs had inflated the cost to the point where it exceeded the monies that were allotted for it. That is the main reason. Secondary is the fact that there are five or six "veterans programs" in effect now that apparently don't function as planned. Why not just revamp those? You guys are so in search of talking point you don't even look at what is in place already and evidentally NOT working.
Wake-up guys it`s getting close to crunch time . Mr. Romney has got some momentum and he`s playing it for all it`s worth. Joe public knows what is happening . If 8yrs hasn`t made you learn from our election debacles. Then you deserve Romney and all he`s gonna bring. And you`ll have my sympathy ..
Romney constantly states that he knows what it takes to get the economy running and how to create jobs, so why hasn't he created ba business here in the states?
The man from the Planet Kolob once again promotes his tear-jerk show. Does he expect this to erase the truth of his Plan to destroy Medicare and defund Medicaid? No death squads for Mitt just... slow death for the children of the 47%.
Mitt Romney made his real side known when he spoke to his rich contributors on the tape. These stories about the youth with leukemia and his will, etc. have already been seen - I believe during the Republican convention. Mitt Romney is out for the "pat on the back", not truly a compassionate, caring person. He may be a "bishop" in his church but he fails by the standards of the Bible and Christian beliefs of caring for those less fortunate, the sick, the old, etc. Anyone wearing their "religion" or fake compassion on their sleeve is not worthy of being our president. Wanting to make Social Security a voucher program, taking away the only tax deductions regular Americans have, taking away PBS and programming, mostly funded by viewer subscribers, and for many preschool children, Sesame Street and Big Bird, may be their only exposure to preschool - unlike the privileged Romney family who can afford any school, anywhere, at any cost. The Republicans have made many insulting and tragic remarks about women, their bodies, their reproductive health and right to choose. They want to take away funding for many poor and elderly women - screening for cancer and other health issues. They want to take away food programs for our working poor families and those in genuine need of help. They have even put down our military in hazardous combat areas by forgetting they, too, do not pay taxes. Mitt Romney pretty much implied that living in an "apartment" means you rely on the government for everything, including housing. Does he not know that many well to do people live in luxury apartments all over our country - Michigan Avenue, New York City, LA, etc. Our elderly and those approaching retirement age (and all workers) have paid into Social Security and pay federal and state income taxes according to their pay scales - no one can say most Americans (47%) do not pay taxes. American workers, past, current and younger deserve to have the security of Social Security when they reach retirement age. Even younger workers should be worried about a voucher program with no guarantees of cost of inflation, higher medical costs, etc. They should not ignore what is being said by the GOP/TP and Romney/Ryan. We pay many taxes - income, sales tax, state and local taxes, excise taxes on phones, utilities, etc., gas tax, - so even poor people are paying taxes in one form or another. Mitt Romney has pandered to minorities throughout his campaign - with token Blacks and speaking Spanish to select groups of Latinos/Hispanics. His organizers have gathered women into a photo opt to pander to women. We have pretty much seen and heard it all - Mitt Romney showed his true colors and they are not good, kind or appreciated. Let him go back to the south of France where he dodged going to Vietnam while many of his generation died, or to his ocean front home, elevators and all, or the Cayman Islands, Switzerland or anywhere else he has hidden wealth. Maybe he will be rewarded on his Planet Kolob - and placed in the highest region of heaven for his "acts" of kindness and compassion.
As a Canadian I pray to God that Romney does NOT win this election. I am completely amazed that the polls have the race this close ......
Romney changes his position on every issue every day !! He is truly a walking, lying etch-a-sketch !
I honestly fear for the U.S.....and world ...economies if Romney gets in.
4 more for 44 !! Obama/Biden all the way !!
You just posted that ...get someone to type you a new comment.
Obama Doesn't?
Who can forget Obama's sudden "Evolution" on same sex marriage?
How about how Obama changed his position on the No Fly Zone in Libya after a Joint resolution was passed in the U.N.?
How about Obama's Flip Flop on closing Gitmo, and Bringing the Terrorists to New York to be tried?
It was a Spontaneous protest that lead to the Attack on our Libyan embassy, Oh wait it was a terrorist attack, oh wait we'll get back to you once the investigation is complete.
I wont use "Executive Privilege" to protect my administration. Obama uses executive privilege to Protect Holder from the Fast and Furious scandal the day Holder was being voted on for contempt of congress even though Obama had how long to declare "Executive Privilege"?
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that “the buck stops here.” Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better." -Barrack Obama, Senate Floor speech, March 20, 2006.
So now that Obama is the President it's not a "Failure in Leadership" when they had to raise the dept ceiling in 2011 and will have to again in 2013 because we are about to hit it again?
Isn't it amazing how things change in an election year?

Obama is taking this country down the same path as the EU and their economies are failing miserably, except for Germany. Obama has no plan for anything but he panders to every voting block he comes into contact with.
Romney is a loser. I do not buy his tear jerking NOW
Too bad for Canadian liberals, you don't have a say so just keep on spewing out your untruth.
Y`know what`s funny?
MSNBC.
One of the last sites you can visit and still listen to people praising Obama and praying for his re-election...people that still insist on rewarding and promoting failure.
It`s quite entertaining.
These are the losers that want mine and your money through Obama's wealth redistribution plan. It is the only way they can get the vote is to keep you poor and dependent on the government so you will vote for them every 4 yrs.
What's really funny Brian, is watching the Romney loyalists come on here and actually believe that he'll restore the middle class. Every time he opens his mouth, he changes his tune. Looks like you've fallen for it...
I find the EC vote projections highly entertaining.
Hell failure...WE GAVE ROMNEY 44 MILLION in a bailout for his failure
J, Defense Contracts=Redistribution of tax payer money, yes or no?
Obama 2012
sky you HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD. Why does Romney want to dump billions in defense spending? No bid contracts!!! The same we spent a trillion on in Iraq!!! So we stroke his private buddies palms in Afghanistan building THEIR NATION while our children suffer in America. Romney knows that blank checks in defense can bring money to overseas markets. Yeah we want more of our money going overseas right?
Amen to that.
Y'know what's funny? People making less than $1,000,000 a year STUPID enough to vote for Romney. Ahhhh HaHaHaHaHa What a bunch of pathetic LOSERS!
I am a Liberal Progressive….
Libs in a nutshell:
The only thing Romney can get personal with is a bank book. Money is his god.... One month from today he will be on the way to one of his many homes to cry,,,,,,
We could all see how much smarter Romney was when they debated ,all Obama did was hang his head in shame because he had nothing to debate on. Why in the world would anyone want the same President back 4 more years?
The same losers that are waiting on their free money from the annointed one.
Smarter? Maybe good at lying Joe and interrupting the moderator. Otherwise, same Romney.
I think it was more of, wow what a liar!! this man changes is position daily. No tax cut for the rich? really? No medicare voucher program? really? This is guy has no chance big Joe. But you can dream
Mitt lied so many times, his staff still can't walk it all back. And the RW pundits are all flipping out because they are not sure which of Mitt's many positions are the ones they should be agreeing with from day to day.
Joe66 TALK IS CHEAP!!! Romney your masterbater is all talk. Obama got us JOBS
And don't forget free phones dal. I know he didn't start it but, you have to admit, even his praisers are calling them Obama phones.
And by the way. If the participation rate was the same today as it was after July 2010 when we had peaked at 8.8 million jobs lost and the supposed recovery started, the UE rate would be 9.7-9.8 percent. Gotta love how that "less people looking" works for the liberal agenda.
Feeble attempt at CYA after he got caught on candid camera
dems have turn the focus to the senate and house, The presidency is pretty much a done thing for us.
I hear Odumbasses drones are saying its not fair that the bumbler in chief can't use his teleprompter at the debates. Funny as hell. The debate finally made it clear that he and his cronies have NO idea at all about what to do for this country. It was really refreshing to see him actually have to try to *think* instead of speak in soundbites from a teleprompter. Proof of his incompetence, and his utter cluelessness.
Did Sean Hannity tell you that?
I will say that I was very impressed with Mitt's ability to say totally opposite things over and over and actually appear to look like he meant them.
I mean, at one point in the debate he said that the tax burden on the wealthy would not come down. And then later he said the tax burden on the wealthy HAD TO COME DOWN, because they are the job creators. And even tough those positions are opposites, he said each as if he believed it.
Paul you know ROmney sucks.......say it
No, JoePhilly. I actually watched the debate. It was kind of one-sided though. I would have felt sorry for Odumbo if he hadn't proven his incompetence over the last four years. But in doing that, he's cost ALL OF US money, prestige with other countries, jobs, and by far the worst, American lives. Of course to him, they were just "bumps in the road." I mean, what are a few American lives when you've got hope and change?
Mitt already got personal in Florida when he told his $50,000 a plate pals what he really thinks. Paul Ryan may have gotten hung up on an adolescent infatuation with Ayn Rand, but Mitt evidently did the same with A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift. (It's in the Public Domain and easily found free on the Internet.)
Do not give this man the keys to anything you hold dear and want to keep. Save Big Bird!
You like Big Bird? Why don't YOU pay for Big Bird? Sesame Street makes millions and millions from selling your little tykes all sorts of merchandise. Can't they pay their own bills? Can't MSNBC or NBC or ABC pony up to put them in the line-up if SS is so valuable?
In fact, I'll agree to fund PBS again as soon as all our national bills are paid and we don't have to borrow 40 cents out of every dollar. How's that?
Should we borrow money from China? Should we put our kid's and grandkid's in debt to fund public television? As a nation, should we put a lobster dinner on the credit card when we can't pay the rent?
Listen to ROMNEY'S MOM talk about the welfare she bummed from America
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwRY2HRV9gs
And you guys call his mom a hypocrite. Sad
George and Dick thought it was ok to borrow to pay for two wars and an unfunded drug rebate plan as well as give them and all their cronies a big tax break unfunded. They knew they were on their way out and they didin't care who got stuck with it. PBS is 1/25th of one percent of the total budget. It doesn't even compare to the Republican bridges to nowhere.
Slum, PBS funding is 100th of 1% of the federal monies, what is the percentages for Congressional payroll and staffing?
PBS is infinitely worth more than bachmann and her loon flock.
Obama 2012
Should we be borrowing money so we can outspend the next 15-20 counrtries in defense spending? Should we be borrowing money so we can start unprovoked wars that drag on for years and years and only serve to increase our enemies and enrich douche-bags like The Dick Chainey? How about we spend some money on education and our eroding infrastructure and maybe feeding our kids. How about saying no more subsidies for Michele Bachmann's "farm"?
Im not a liberal but a conservitive and plan to vote for President Obama for 2012. He is our only hope for a sound future. I can truly say that I have never seen anyone running for the office of President who has flipped flopped on issues like Romney/Ryan. Here we are about 30 days or so before election and I still have no idea where he is coming from. Obama/Biden 2012 for our future.
"season packing a town square to hear his retooled stump speech, which now highlights the sometimes-rigid candidate's personal side."
More examples of how (MS)NBC (GE/Comcast) is still hard at work trying to drive up Romney's negatives. In the first paragraph we get references to "retooled-stump speech" and "rigid-candidate" as descriptions of Romney. MSNBC should teach their journalists is to leave personal opinions OUT of reporting news. Who looks "stiff" is purely subjective but does help promote the picture MSM has been painting of the Romney they want people to see. Who looked stiff Wed night in the debate? For the first time Romney could speak directly to the public and he didn't look so stiff. He looked actually genuine. Actually Obama looked lost without his teleprompt. Without the the propaganda arm of the Obama campaign to paint their competitor in a negative light, Romney is neither stiff nor is his stump speech retooled as if anything added new in a speech is a "retooling" of his "stump" speech. I can gaurantee you this, after that Obamarama debacle that was Wed night, the only person getting seriously "retooled" is the president. But you will never hear that portrayed by the MSM like MSNBC that way.
At least Mitt Romney can change. Obama has only one thing to say. It's not my fault.
The more Romney changes the more he stays the same, which side today, trying to appear humane, not possible. I've watched this man for a year and he'll do what he's told and he doesn't do that well either.
Obama 2012
More evidence that Romney will say anything and use anyone to win - he simply cares about nothing except winning/getting power. This is the last item he wants to add to his CV.
The only time he has been honest during this campaign was when he didn't know he as being taped and made that outrageous comment about not caring about 47% of Americans.
Then he was promising tax cuts to his fellow 1%-er's; now he says he won't raise taxes on them at all. He forgets we live in the internet age when people who want to take the trouble to fact-check him can do so.
He was a moderate before he was "severely conservative; now he is abandoning the conservative principles he pretended to believe in, because now his goal is to "get 50.1%." That is ALL he cares about, and he will lie and buy his way to the White House, if he's not stopped.
VOTE like your life depended on it - it does! O & Joe . . . and Big Bird!
If Big Bird was on the Democratic ticket it would surely be a step up from what the Democratic ticket is now.
Sesame Street is brought to you today by the number 307.6, the number of electoral votes President Obama is likely to get, per Nate Silver's 538 Blog @ NY Times; and by the number 78.4, his chances of winning on Nov. 6.
VOTE! O & Joe, 4 more!
If we elect Obama my 3 yr. old granddaughter will have to sell her Big Bird to pay her share of the debt Obama is so content in running up. Romney/Ryan 2012 and 2016.
Make sure to tell your granddaughter that the GOP wars weren't free, as so many Republicans seem to believe.
"I'll cut the deficit in half by the end of my first term"......Barry the LIAR.
Romney the only numbers we WANT IS 1040!!!
Oh my gosh....you mean the LIB TARD obsession with BIG BIRD has waned and you are back on Mitt's taxes? Say it ain't so GOOB.....
Love how we should all ignore Mitt's taxes because REPUBS TOLD US TOO. Well I will give my answer with my vote.
I love how all you LIB TARDS ask the rest of us to ignore "Barry's HOPE and Change LIE" because you have amnesia...
Okay, Fisty goes back to Mitt's teen years, dal goes back to the tax thing, what next. Romney was born in Mexico? The car elevator? Multiple residences? You people have nothing........well you do have..........PANIC.
I will say that the Republican party would have had a better candidate if they would have drafted Big Bird insetead of romney. At least he would make more sense. Obama/Biden 2012
Well, Barry could always tell that LIE that he always tells about his mother's illness and her healthcare coverage being denied to "tug" at the LIB TARDS heart strings....its one of his best. Not in the same league (mind you) as that HOPE and CHANGE whopper...but it does draw a "collective" whimper from his "adoring" crowds.
HOPE and CHANGE LIAR/HAIR WEAVE JOEY/BIG BIRD 2012.
Ame Obamacare FLIP FLIP ROMNEY loves. LOL
1. It's a tax! There wasn't much for Republicans to love in the Supreme Court's ruling that Obamacare is constitutional, except that they concluded the individual mandate is, for constitutional purposes (but not for others), a tax. The soundbites write themselves. Republicans can now brand Obama as raising taxes on the middle class, or, if they're feeling particularly blustery, "the biggest tax increase in the history of the world." But ABC News' Michael Falcone pulls up video from a January 2008 Republican presidential primary debate in which Romney seems to think such a tax is pretty great. When the debate moderator asks, "Governor … you imposed tax penalties in Massachusetts?" Romney defends the mandate by framing it terms of personal responsibility. "Yes, we said, look, if people can afford to buy it, either buy the insurance or pay your own way," he said. "Don’t be free-riders."

2. It's "ultimate conservatism." In 2007, Romney said that when the uninsured show up in emergency rooms and get free health care, that's a "form of socialism." By contrast, his health care law was conservative and inspired by the Heritage Foundation, something that is true and that the Heritage Foundation would probably like people to forget.
RELATED: Romney Was Once Proud to Be a Washington Insider
RELATED: The New Romneycare Is Very Different from the Old Romneycare
Romney said a version of this multiple times. In January 2008, he told Fox News Sunday, "I think it's the ultimate conservative plan." Last year, Romney also said his law was based on "fundamentally a conservative principle."
3. It's a good national model. Romney boasted that Congress and the President could learn a lot about health care reform from his Massachusetts plan during an interview with CNN in 2009, "I think there are a number of features in the Massachusetts plan that could inform Washington on ways to improve health care for all Americans," he said "The fact that we were able to get people insured without a government option is a model I think they can learn from." Start at 1:05 and note the lack of concern about constitutional issues.
4. It's humane. When Romney left office in 2007, his staff erased his office's emails from a server computer in an attempt to wipe them from the public record. But earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal found a few survivors, including Romney's own early drafts of his April 2006 Journal op-ed about the passage of Romneycare. Romney used language that would surely irritate many conservatives, and it was toned down when eventually published. Nevertheless, Romney's original thoughts are preserved forever:
Today's Sesame Street is brought to you by the number 270. The number of EC votes needed to become President, and the number of EC votes Mitt has no chance of reaching.
dal - you are supposed to cite your source when you cut and paste. Rules of the site. Better hurry or you may be classified as a rereg by Fisty. Oh wait, she wouldn't do that to one of her minions.
Romney is evil. His 47 percent speech while his parents were on welfare just shows the hypocrite in him. The wolf is trying to put on the sheep skin now? Too late Romney do another APOLOGY TOUR. Pathetic
But Obama has been on a four year apology tour. So you want to cut Mitt to a few months? Let's be fair. Romney is apologizing for himself, not a nation as a whole.
Well,hate to say it but I told you so !!!! I have been posting that he exploited his role as Pastor for days now,and ALL you Repubs said: Lies,lies,lies !!! Real compassionate Pastor's don't need to gloat,apparently Romney does so to get votes.He is despicable and this proves it.He will do and say ANYTHING to get votes-It repulses me and it should you as well.
Obama does to.... all polititions are the same. Except Romney held his head up in the debate. Obama looked at his shoes most the time... he was in the real world for an hour.
It is funny how ROmney has been driving at the economy FOR MONTHS and now that we have great job numbers he wants to show his softer side. Awwwwwwww...ain't buying it
Joe66 you can have the masterbater I will take the job creator
You do that dal...LOLOLOL..take him home with you after the election,hes going to have to have a place to stay....they not any jobs.
Well that must be how it feels in here Joe66....lonely
Obama 2012
Joe66 all alone
Hey dal.... if you can't take it like a man don't spit it out. LOL...
dal takes it in the...........never mind.
So true, as it says What you do in secret he will reward in public
The Mormon Church has bragged the Book of Mormon is “the most correct book on the face of the earth”. Those words were uttered for the first time by none other than Joseph Smith himself on Sunday, October 28, 1841.
“I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.”
http://www.lifeafter.org/
This is for those Christians who like to vote Republican. Think about the fact Mormons do not value the ACTUAL BIBLE!!! Think about it HARD
OBAMA 2012
ROMNEY 1040
Well, okay. Thought about it. Doesn't really bother me much, because I don't believe in the bible, or any other religion.
There will always be those who vote republican or demicrat, because thier parents did.
There will always be those who vote according to race.
There will alway be those who vote according to thier personal feelings of the candidates character.
All I know, is that I'm voting Obama, because I believe we are investing in the economy.
Any investment takes time to show dividends.
And I don't approve of another quick fix.
dal-- The main and ONLY reason that the so called "PROPHET"Joseph Smith bragged about the Book of Mormon, is because HE WROTE IT! Oh, he "CLAIMED" that he "translated" it from the so called "GOLDEN PLATES" that he "discovered"somewhere back east, when in reality he made the whole thing up! The Mormons only use the Bible as a "referance to the Book of Mormon", they DO NOT really believe in it. After all.. THEY ARE MORMONS, not CHRISTIANS.
Bill you know there are people who vote Republican because the church supports their positions. Romney has never had a position he has not changed. But to those who vote for this purpose it is something to think about because one things Mormons do it support other Mormons. They do not reach out to other religions.
blueinut....you are on the money
Dal, you've been called out on this post #22 so many times I have lost count. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -day Saints teaches the King James version of the Holy Bible and it is part of the Churches curriculim of study world wide.

jacksonhole-- I HAVE read the Book of Mormon, having been raised in that religion. I just chose not to believe it, when I reached the age of SANITY, you see being a Mormon did ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING for me, and it TORE MY FAMILY APART! But you go right on ahead and believe the B.S. propaganda that they teach about that, LYING, CHEATING, FELON, that you all call a "PROPHET", if it makes you feel better!
Buybull, Book of Morons, & Duh'ran etc...(Bible, book of mormon, & qu'ran etc) all piles of poo if you ask me. All of it is junk, and not one bit of it is believable over the others. You give me some unbelievable junk from one, and I can find just as much offensive junk in another. I'm SICK OF HEARING ABOUT RELIGION.
The die hard christian republicans already weren't chomping at the bit for mitt, I don't think you need to remind them...although hearing that mitt in his adult life was part of an officially racist organization might get more white power people to go and vote.
Note the dismissive sarcasm in the tone of the author. Note the rabid hate in the tone of most of the comments by the useful idiots. The Democrat Party has been completely taken over by the leftists and communists. Can anybody imagine Harry Truman or JFK running for president in 2012. They would be tared and feathered by these kooks.
@Ves,
Can you imagine anyone like Ronald Reagan running for President in 2012?
He would refuse to sign the "Norquist Pledge" - and would not pass the Tea Party "Purity Test".
He would be tarred and feathered by these kooks.
Vesigoth, you're right that hatred and sarcasm aren't really informative. All they tell us is what the writer is thinking, and most of those thoughts are pretty primitive. However:
(1) Given some stupidity on the left, the greatest amount of almost clinical-level hatred comes from the right wing. I guess MSNBC has Rachel Maddow, but she's not one tenth as vicious as Rush Limbaugh who markets, not policy, but outrage. The left has no equivalent of Rupert Murdoch.
(2) You're absolutely wrong about the Democratic party (you meant "Democrat party", I'm sure) being taken over by leftists and communists. Most of the Dems have lately been left of center but they're a diverse group in a way the GOP is not. Show me where Stalin is buried and I'll show you a communist plot.
(3) Either Truman or Kennedy would do quite well today, whereas Ronald Reagan -- who raised taxes twice, appointed a moderate to the Supreme Court, and wanted to rid the world of all its nukes, including ours -- would today be cast out as a RINO. Ask Olympia Snowe why she resigned from the Senate a few months ago. She was a moderate and the party had shifted out from under her feet.
(4) You want evidence of this? Google Rosenthal and Poole's scientific study of polarization in the legislature. The Republicans have moved roughly six times more to the conservative side as Democrats have move to the progressive end of the spectrum. That's not an opinion. It's a study done by two disinterested political scientists.
(5) You want to see how much damage can be done when a democracy turns into a plutocracy? Put Romney (a nobody) and Ryan (an Ayn Rand objectivist and idolator) into power and give the legislature to the Tea Party. Romney will have to sign whatever they put in front of him or face a primary challenge in 2016. You have no idea how bad it can get -- for people like us, not people like Jack Welsh.
Maxwell,
Intelligent, coherent, and true. Unfortunately, your post is way over the heads of the average Romney supporter. Sad...
True Max so very true.
Interesting new stump speech that Gov. Romney has rolled out.
Easy to describe the true tales of courage that he's been involved with.
Difficult to discuss the tall tales that he's been telling to the American People.
LOL. Yes Romney is now a traveler spinning his tales for his supper. Easier to talk about tall tales than discuss the view of the economy he had. Maybe he will do arts and crafts next.
Government welfare programs are created to buy the
votes of those who want someone to take care of them?
Work for it or do without. Romney--Ryan--2012 and lets put the able bodied people back to work.
Joe, joe, joe.....working hard. I understand it is hard to wash that brown stain off the underwear. Just wear it and hope no one notices. Maybe the Magic underwear....hmmmmmmm
Sorry Joe it is a losing battle. Obama has the walk not matter how much flip flop Romney can talk
@Joe,
e
"Work for it or do without... let's put the able bodied people back to work".
Really? What about the able bodied folks who worked all their lives to collect those benefits promised to them?
Do you want to put them BACK to work?
What about the not so able bodied folks who are born that way (like a child born with Multiple Sclerosis) or get that way (like a returning Soldier wounded in combat)?
What about them?
Read it again ...it means people who are able to work and don't work ...the give it to me free ones...not the sick and disabled.
Hey Joe,
How do you know who is able to work and who don't work in this country !!!
The reason that Bush is still in the lime light is that he created the economic environment in this country that put alot of those people on welfare.
Joe, you are obviously challenged when trying to think for yourself. The Robme/Retardican spin is just not based on facts or reality. Step back and ask yourself if putting a rich, spoiled, out of touch, representative of the obscenely rich prick in office is really going to be better for you. If you think Robme is a good guy, just look at his life and record, he is a professional liar and greedy business man trying to come off in sheep's clothing.
