COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa -- With 16 days until the Nov. 6 election, Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan made his first visit to Western Iowa Sunday afternoon and asked voters in the key state for their help.
“We need your help,” Ryan said outside a Bass Pro Shops store here. “Iowa, you are so used to it. You are used to being the eye of the storm. You are used to seeing this. You have a responsibility and an opportunity and an obligation to help us get this country back on the right track.”
The speech came on the heels of the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Sunday morning showing President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney tied nationally -- both getting 47 percent of support among likely voters.

Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan speaks in Council Bluffs, Iowa on Sunday.
In the swing state of Iowa -- which yields six electoral votes -- Obama is ahead of Romney by eight points – 51 percent to 43 percent – according to the NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll released Thursday.
While Ryan has frequented the state since his selection as VP -- holding nine events in the Hawkeye State so far -- this speech before nearly 1,200 people marks his first visit to the Republican stronghold of Western Iowa. The Wisconsin congressman will hold an additional rally in Sioux City this afternoon.
With early voting underway in Iowa, Vice President Joe Biden visited the same shopping center complex on the border of Nebraska nearly three weeks ago, drawing a crowd of about 500.
Ryan, who rarely campaigns on Sundays, made several sports analogies.
“Big Ten country, that’s where we are. And in Big Ten country, we take care of our kids, we take care of our neighbors, we are honest, we tackle our problems, and we want to look back at this moment as the this time as the time we got it right,” the Wisconsin Packers fan said. “Look, right here at Bass Pro, it’s where we take our kids to teach them values. It’s where we look at the traditions we have in this country that made us so unique and so great.”
This is the Midwestern congressman’s second trip to the outdoors store on the trail. He stopped to buy his 10-year-old daughter Liza hunting gear at a Bass Pro Shops store in the battleground state of Ohio in late September.

I believe Iowans will show themselves to be a lot smarter than Obama needs them to be and will vote for Romney.
No We can't help those who try to End MediCare As We Know It.
. If you, Mr. Ryan, decide to take away medical benefits from those 55 and under, why should we help you? Give me a good reason. You want to steal from us, but expect us to lend you a helping hand. Does it make sense?
.
Iowa has long been out of reach to the GOP in this November election.
.
4 more years.
Iowans have no stomach to elect draft-dodger Willard Myth Romney as President!
Ryan also comes down..with a severe case of Romnesia.
.
If Mr. Ryan wants a cure...vote for -
.
Obama/Biden 2012
Vote Gary Johnson!
Who is Gay Johnson?
Ah, Iowa. . .
Where Marist polling claims that 34% of the electorate has voted early- despite the fact that less than 30% of today's electorate has even requested early/absentee ballots.
And, of the actual number of requested ballots, less than 20% have been returned. Of course, most folks know that the longer it sits, the less likely it is to be mailed.
So, Obama is winning some number of early voters- but, since we only have Marist to depend on, we have no clue as to how much that edge is actually worth. And, of course, Romney is winning by double digits among those who plan to vote on election day.
I'm fairly certain you can color Iowa red.
From this news:
In ... Iowa -- Obama is ahead of Romney by eight points – 51 percent to 43 percent.
.
As Iowa goes, so goes the nation.

4 MORE YEARS
Another article about Ryan, eh?
RyanRomney couldn't tell the truth, if they fell over it.
Ryan has zero credability with anyone who reads. Romney can't add. Bush's advisors are Romney's advisors. Romney's kid Tagg owns the voting machines in Ohio, Colorado and other states. America is finished if these scumbags get the power.
sorry, there is a typo I just discovered in my earlier post #1.6 9as a followup of #1.5; and it should be -
.
Who is GaRy Johnson.
.
My mistake. Sorry to the Johnson family and satan nick.
No Joe,
Please get a book and read up on the things and color words you throw out. You sound like a fool and don't even know how to spell Marxist!
Pigotry:
He is the libertarian candidate. While I don't agree with him on everything, I think he has far more sensible ideas to help fix this country than Obama or Romney.

Unfortunately, Republicans do run government like a business in that they sell this steaming turd like modern American corporations do -- with slick propaganda and deceptive advertising on TV. Just as they lie that deficits are caused by "over-spending" instead of "tax cuts," Republicans now utilize rigid message discipline and clever distortion -- mixed with shameless lies -- more resembling a psychological warfare operation than traditional political campaigns.
This coming from a guy with zero integrity. Asked last week in Ohio if he pulls for U. of Wisconsin or Ohio St., he rebuffed the question. Typical flip flop answer. I don't care what office I was running for or what state I was in, my answer would always be "Go Blue" for the Michigan Wolverines.
Values are taught at Bass Pro? Who Knew?
I kinda thought values were taught by family.........so I guess Lyin Ryan didn't spend enough time at Bass Pro, when he was at an impressionable age, if the shops were around then.
Who taught him to lie? He never learned NOT TO LIE!
Chad, well said.
Thank heavens that Romney has stepped up to save America.
I can't wait to call Mitt Romney "Mr. President."
ROMNEY/RYAN 2012!
Satanick: You do know that Gary Johnson has absolutely no chance of picking up more than a couple of percentage points. So why waste your vote on him, when you can pick between the lesser of two evils. Obama is much better suited for the majority of people in this country than the aristocratic Mitt Romney. A guy who nothing in touch with the common everyday ordinary citizen. Do yourself and us a favor and change your mind.
If that doesn't happen, gonna kill yourself (crosses fingers)?
Plus they rely on a whole bunch of misinformed dumb@ss people to climb aboard.
Tonybeeerm:
So why waste your vote on him, when you can pick between the lesser of two evils.
Why waste your vote on the lesser of two evils? I am not going to be bullied by the media into this false dichotomy, that Romney and Obama are my only choices. Do us all a favor and stop believing this lesser of two evils @!$%# that the media and the politicians perpetuate through the Republicans and Democrats stranglehold on American politics. The media tries to take away our freedom of choice by convincing the vast majority of Americans that third parties don't exist or that they have no chance of winning. People are sick of both parties @!$%# yet they continue to vote for these people because they think voting for someone else is wasting their vote. The only wasted votes are the ones cast halfheartedly or not all.
Iowans hate draft dodgers so that leaves Romney out, wake up America, Mitt would be a rubber stamp for the 1% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jody - 1593... with every post you show you know absolutely nothing about what is happening in the country or where Romney stands - on anything. Of course no one else knows where Romney stands on anything - including Romney!
Obama/Bidenh 2012
ItsSimple: Right-on! Move to NJ and run in the first district, we need somebody like you.
Obama/Baden for the USA.
I'll remember that if Romney gets elected and you're on here b!tching about it. Look pal, it is what it is. You can't change that at this moment. So quit trying to be a maverick and make an intelligent choice. If it's Romney, so be it. But if you are in the majority of Americans and want someone with compassion, then make the smart choice and vote for the re-election of Barack Obama.
. . . and more 1950's mad men comments from The Republicans running for office in Iowa. This time its King being a total douchebag comparing immigrants to dogs and doubling down on Akin's comment about forcible rape.

Clwyd, Marist is a college that does polling. I believe it is you who is confused.
Yep Seeking Sanity - every post, someone you disagree with always shows stupidity or what ever.
But not you Seeking, you are, as always, super, super smart.
Odd how with you everyone is stupid, and with TonyBeem, we got a guy calling for someone to kill themself.
Yep, you libbies are on fire. Everything must be smelling like roses these days.
Oh and yes Anna Banana - all about rape. Like what QE3 is doing to the dollar.
And O doesn't even have the will to give us all a kiss as he wrecks our money supply.
You sound like a fool and don't even know how to spell Marxist!
Hey No Joe, I don't know about you, but this post made my evening!
Guess it's safe to say old CLWYD never heard of a Marist Poll.
Kind of summs up the whole Liberal mindset hear at First Read, eh?
Tony Beerm hoping someone will kill themselves.
Classless.
Desperate and classless.
But again, you liberals are really having a hard time pushing that rope, aren't you?
Sadly, it seems that's all our pal Tony B has.
Cause he sure does not get to look forward to an O win.
What's up WCA? How terribly horrible is your libbie paradise?
I only had to pay $4.35 a gallon today - Jerry Brown and our little cap 'n trade is tha bomb.
This is from Global News in Canada
A report that Solamere Capital, a company owned by Tagg Romney, has invested heavily in electronic voting machines to be used next month in the critical swing state of Ohio lit up the political blogosphere on Friday.
U.S. President Barack Obama is still leading Romney in Ohio, despite the Republican's recent surge in the polls. Tagg Romney campaigned for his father on Friday in the southeast reaches of the state.
Ohioans are sensitive to suggestions of voter machine shenanigans, with some liberals in the state long suspecting wonky voting machines played a role in George W. Bush's sudden, late-night win there against John Kerry in 2004.
Read it on Global News: Global News | Romney's sons singled out for death stare, wanting to 'take a swing'
Speaking of the 50's v today.
Was watching MSNBC's newest lisper, Melissa Perry-Hart, or whatever her name is.
She was all pissed about Mitt's statement that a strong father figure would help gun violence.
FYI - Melissa is Black. THe percentage of fatherless households is over 80% now.
So Melissa, where's the outrage?
Cause that is hideous and terrible. In every single respect.
Maybe Bev can chime in and tell us how many dead Chicago Youth there are today?
Bev.?
Spanky,
Don't like living in California? Then move. I understand Texas is great from Republican talking heads. Though personally I consider Texas a wasteland better known as the armpit of America. Or maybe Florida? Won't go into that graphic but you can let your imagination go there. . . Both great places for "conservatives".
All that they want is for the GOP to leave them ALONE! Especially Ryan, that shows up his ugly face only during ELECTION TIME!
Any other time he goes: Iowa? Where is that?
Hey Spanky, Detroit is just humming along. Former Mayor Kwamew Kilpatrick is on trial with the Feds for all manner of corruption, the Police chief quit because of a Sex Scandal and crime is, well, it's Detroit so you know how crime is.
We get a bargian on gas here. Only $3.70/gallon. But the heating costs are just around the corner. SHould be a fun winter.
But the Tigers are in the world Series!
GM had to shut the VOlt plant down agian, which forced A123 into Bankruptcy.
More of Obama's trickle down policies, I guess.
Fear not Ana B - I got a lovely home in the AZ, where gas is cheap.
It is nice to have property in other states. Very nice indeed. I highly recommend it in fact. GIves a certain amount of freedom, and effects your real tax rate. :)
WCA - Detroit is bad, real bad, but on the whole Cali is worse.
All these new oil and natural gas reserves being found. Plus they had to actually admit temperatures have not gone up in 16 years.
Time to end solar and all this other crap.
Green shoots died, and took billions with it. How sad.
Off to a BBQ.
Spanky, and his co-pilot Captain Morgan --OUT! :)
Romney has a pet Rat and his name is Ryan, the dog died !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spanky?
Cali is worse off than Detroit? Pure fictional nonsense, which I suppose fits right in with the rest of your fictional right win narrative.
Get real. You probably don't even live in Cali. And if you do, you should move because we don't really need your type.
@ED-2874315
Willard and Tagg, the Vulture duo, were also deep investors in the Ponzi scheme by Allen Stanford, in Houston, TX, who is now serving 100+ years.
I don't think they are in the clear, yet!
Why is Romney getting a total pass on his tax returns? It was widlely reported that not releasing them would be less disasterous than what might be in them. C'mon, people. Where has that drum beat gone??
And before anyone says 'that's not relevant now', remember: a big part of Romney's "plan for the next 4 years" involves a hell of a lot about taxes. I think his use of the system over several years is, indeed, relevant. He should not get a pass on this!!!
I will be amazed if there are enough stupid Americans to elect Romulus. Of course, in 1972 we knew that Nixon was either such a poor judge of character that he had surrounded himself with criminals or he himself was one. And he was re-elected. The encouraging thing to me is the x-factor that I had not heard addressed and only once mentioned in passing. It's this: the polling is all done by phone. And more specifically, it's done by land lines and contract cell phones. So people who are on a pay-as-you-go, like Cricket or TracFone or Straight Talk, are not going to be polled. And these people are mostly not middle class or upper class, economically. I have a hard time thinking they will vote for a party that wants to sodomize them and leave them for dead. I suspect-and hope- that it's not as close as these polls think. The same error was made in 1932, I think. The only people with phones were well off and that's who got polled and they were catastrophically wrong.
Google 'freeport Illinois'. Do it today.
@Dangerous Mind
Nobody needs Spanky's type...well...maybe Pakistan
"Nobody needs Spanky's type...well...maybe Pakistan"
Aww...c'mon. Why pick on the 'counsellor'? He gots TWO houses! You know- as in "HEY everybody....LOOK at ME!" Bet when he's not cheating his clients out of billable hours, he's........CREATING JOBS!! cut the doode sum slack, 'K?
drive by,
I was just wondering how he would spin the price of gas being President Obama's fault? Couldn't be his wealthy buddies doing that speculation thing, now could it! You know, those Hedge Funds and Banks that "need more deregulation".....Really Not!
Obama's policies have resulted in higher energy prices across the board. He is clearly in the pocket of the energy industry as evidneced by his crony capitalism "investments" in multiple energy companys such as Solyndra.
The silent majority is going to speak at this election and the Obama tenure will become a footnote in history.
Let me help you Pigotry
Public Policy Polling, a Democrat polling organization issued it's findings the next morning. Romney over Obama 49-48. 34%D, 38%R, & 27%I
Marist 51% Obama to 43% Romney 33%D, 31%R, 35%I
2004 34%D, 36%R, 30%I
2008 34%D, 33%R, 35%I
My guess Obama up 1 - 3 points in Iowa, but sliding toward Romney, if enough time is left.
TC,
So now Obama is in the pocket of the energy industry. Now that is quite a spin on things if I ever heard one. Wonder which one is pushing for deregulation so hard? You know, those "pesky" laws that protect us from big business completely running over us with their greed. Like 5-6 years ago. That's right, Republicans. Wonder whose pocket they are in? Perhaps money($$) =deregulation! Sounds right to me.
No doubt it is close. I like that. This way people won't sit at home thinking the President is a shoo in and come to realize the wealthy are trying to buy it. And it woke the President up which resulted in showing Romney for what he is, a flip-flop kinda guy. As for the silent majority, that has narrowed down to a few who haven't decided yet. Less than 5% I understand.
So you shouldn't write those "footnotes" yet as you might be surprised and upset if they don't end up being what you wanted.....just saying!
No Joe,
Yes, my wife says I should read better and maybe the new set of prescriptions glasses will help! Sorry I was confused!
Obama had to borrow $15 Million due after Nov. 6. This is normally not a good sign for a campaign.
First some idiot is still believing Al Gore, the inventor of the internet, was robbed in Florida and should have been elected president.
Now another idiot believes that Romney is going to stop the manufacture of rubbers. Sorry to disappoint ya there person, but you may still buy them as well as buy the pill. No one is going to limit you for your transaction.
So let's be factual, huh?
Independent,
Obama authorizing $90 billion of investment into the energy industry and you say he is not in their pocket? Let me get this straight: Obama gives the energy industry, who have contributed a bunch of $ to his campaign, $90 billion and you say he is not in their pocket? LOLOLOLO.
Give me a break and take off the rose colored glasses.
True Conveyer,
Yes, and our Governor Wacko Walker has misplaced $69,000,000 in the state of Wisconsin alone for his Dept. of Economic Development and also $10,000,000 was given out illegally to his buddies in business and industry to create jobs that so far hasn't happened other than bigger profits for their companies!
DB, Nobody asked for your guess!
Clwyd,
Then Walker needs to go too. Incompetence is not cornered by one party or the other. However, it boggles the mind how anyone can conclude anything other than are current POTUS is incompetent. His record alone proves that.
I am not in the two wrongs make a right club. You still probably blame Bush for the last four years. Geez....grow up.
Hmmmm...MittTaxPittanceRommel aka CountDracula and his servant EddiMunster are Lying Up A Storm in Ohio, Which was Traditionally iron and steel specific manufacturing country. BUT! Thanks to the Count and His Aristocrat/Sociopath Friends at the republicanCrimeCartel, The Fine Steel and Iron working Craftsmen and Women were fired and their jobs "outsourced" and so these Fine Americans are in the OutHouse.

An' I don't care if I gotta clean $H!TF!lled Public Toilets wth my tongue for a dollar a day, I don't want no n!gger in th' whitehouse!!" And for You "more educated" Men who feel "Well, I don't care if the Man is Harvard educated, I perceive that he won't be able to get me off of the unemployment line when my "mid managment position" was "inner corporate absorbed". This President does not know how to run a country". CORRECTION Mr.Snoot, Yes He does just as Rommel and the republicanAristocratParty KNOW How to RUIN a Country. So Fellow Men Voters, Let's keep Prez O in the WhiteHouse as he's the only one who knows what the hell he is doing in spite of republicanAristocratSoldier's attacks. Here is something of interest and importance:

let's see...obummer is qualified to lead nation.....how? I see, Soros and the crooked Chicago dems got him into politics and financed his smear and dirt campaigns....he never could run on his own merits...to busy smoking dope and chasing around finding all the communist and anti american agitators he could find to "mentor" him...then he is suddenly "qualifed to run for prez? Hope and change....gonna "fundamentally" change our beloved country, into what? Another second rate communist has been? A nanny state where everything is "free"....who is gonna work to pay for all that? He offers absolutely no plan to get the country back on track because he doen't want it on track....his true agenda which is driven by Soros is to destroy the US economy and drag us down.
He is the president of the very wealthy...Buffet, Gates, Soros, the hollywood multimillionaires, the Mike Meyers creep, the wealthy union bosses, and also of the welfare types who just suck off the governement to buy drugs, smokes and alcohol, and cases of soda. He tries to scare us retired people into voting for him...but HE is the threat to our health and well being in retirement.
He lies about everything. Running off to Vegas for a fund raiser is more important than the security of the country. He wants re elected so he and Michele can continue to waste our money so they can vacation, golf, buy fancy clothes and live like royalty
He is devisive by intent. That is why all you liberal fruitcakes on here are so mean and hateful. You should be ashamed.
Vote Romney/ryan and get some intelligent adult leadership in the White House and get the muslim apologist out. We need to watch the voting...you know how Dumocrats are....vote early and often, bring the dead into vote, if there is any invalid ballots....interpret the voter intent like in Florida and only ask for recounts in precincts they lose, of course if you can throw out enough Republican votes you can get the likes of idiot Franken in office.
Romney/Ryan!!!!
Yes Romney/Ryan need help alright, and not just voter fraud, suppression, misinformation, and intimidation to try to steal the election (again). When these two can't win their home states, or Massachusetts where Romney was governor, that should tell you something.
Romney/Ryan - They aren't in it for you.
You are either sick, ignorant or kidding me? Why would you put a man that has closed factories and sent jobs overseas just to make money? Do you really think (you claim you are so smart) that he even cares about you? God says ignorance is bliss, yours is showing!
You are not wasting your vote on the lesser of two evils, you are voting for one of the candidates that will actually have a shot at being President. Personally I do not see one as being less evil then the other. I see one as being the correct choice while the other just lies lies and lies again.
Obama 2012
Yeah ,,since microsoft was bought out, The NBC Romney Ryan propaganda slant is in full gear at NBC news.com . What's funny is the wingnuts don't read enough or research enough to realize it. One scroll down the home page at any given time, All you see is Romney Romney Ryan Ryan etc. Welcome to another faux news type indoctrination outlet store.
.......to finish off the middle class, once and for all
Remember the three R's on November 6th: Reject Romney Ryan !!!
3 R's for congressional elections too -
Reject Republican Reactionaries -
Obama up by 8 in Iowa. Strong early voting results for democrats as well in Iowa.
Very strong.
This Wisconsin and Janesville resident needs Iowa's help! Don't let this lying Ryan make it any further in his bogus career of lying. We drove him from his town hall meeting when he couldn't and wouldn't answer questions!
WE NEED YOU TO STOP LYING FIRST. :)
Romney's foreign policy is China !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just voted ..................GO OBAMA/BIDEN
How many times? Gonna vote in person too, I suppose...be sure to vote for all your dead relatives as well, you know that is the Democrat way!!
"You have a responsibility and an opportunity and an obligation to help us get this country back on the right track.”
This statement from Ryan is ridiculous. Iowans don't owe the republicans anything it is their right to chooose whomever they see fit. The republicans are not fit to be in office of anything.
"W" destroyed our Country, don't give the Keys back to the losers that got us into this insane mess !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Vote for President OBAMA For Peace and Prosperity" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People like YOU are destroying this country. Vote Romney and get it back!!
You've got a serious case of denial! When you think 2nd great depression in US history... look in the mirror and thank yourself and the GOP! You've got no one else to blame. The history books will not be kind.
Ryan: "We need your help".
Yes, we do. We need your help to keep women out of the workplace by making contraceptives impossible to get. We want all pregnancies to come to term, regardless if the women die. We want to call those actual children parasites, when they need food, education or any kind of community support due to disability.
We want to RAPE the treasury for our corporate masters, returning to a time when we were the benevolent masters of those troublesome serfs, and that the serfs know how to keep their place and pull their forelocks as they bow themselves out of our presence.
We want to play with ALL the neato keen war toys, and show Iran what's what, making sure that it is the children of the serfs that are sent to war. Our children have more important things to do, like "missionary work" in a Catholic Country.
We want to destroy the education system, for we know that only the ignorant vote for us, thus sealing American's fate to being a third world country, owned by us into eternity.
Lyin Ryan somehow escapes mentioning his support/vote in congress for your points NDD.
He sure does, chilled!
There's a report of another mass shooting in WI....3 dead and 4 others wounded. Did Lyin Ryan ever weigh in on the shooting at the Sikh Temple?
Guess he's too busy lying!
chilled - just read that. It's really horrible. Ryan never weighs in on shootings - he doesn't give a damn!
Obama/Biden 2012
You got it SS...If he can't lie about it, he won't talk about it......
Lyin Ryan DOES NOT CARE!
Poor GOP Voters are so mixed up, most are the 47% that Romney says - can Rot !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love your name calling libbies.
You either must be winning, or we are all back in the second grade.
Keep up the outstanding wok.
:)
Coming from someone who's an expert at juvenile name calling, I'll take that as a compliment.
Spanky-
Darn those libbies eh Spanky? The repubbies would never sink so low eh?
Oh and Chilled - Hasan, just a work placeshooting, right.
Allah Akbar. Now, just what does that mean, and was allah Akbar employee number 8 at the base?
Libbies - O said at the last debate he's all good with 'assault rifles.' Oh NOOOOESSS!
So Blackcat - you got you the Pres. going with "Romnesia."
How very second grade.
Now maybe you can point out where Bush, Bush, or Reagan got all second grade?
Pathetic for the leader of of the free world. For my 12 year old? Not so much, but I'd still beat his ass.
Spanky needs a Spanking, bad boy ***!!!!!!+++
Romney lies - Obama cares - so much for the race, and a landslide comming
Bring it on Patriotic.
BUt I like it - a spanking, like O has been taking in the last couple of weeks?
So Patriotic, what you got?
NDD,
If Lyin Ryan is referring to "help" packing up his office in DC for the move back to Janesville, don't you think we can accommodate him? ☺
Still in SD Spanky? AZ beckons.
Romnesia may be 2nd grade but then Romney brought it upon himself ... he talked the talk and walked the walk.
Spanky asks...
If that's ment to be humor, it's lost on me, spanky.
...however, you really should be concerned about Ann Romneys' comment about Willard and his "mental well-being"
Absolutely, Feisty, I'll bring the cartons, you bring the tape!
My hope is that when Romney wins, all you libtards will leave the country and never return.
newdaydawning...why is your contraception MY problem? Why should I have to pay for it. How is my refusing to buy you $9 worth of pills a month going to keep you from working? Why should I pay for you to kill a baby or condone it?
Obummer and the dumbocrats are raping the treasury.....as one of the philosophers said over 2000 years ago, "once the people find out they can vote money for themselves from the treasury...democracy dies"..not word for word, but true nonetheless.
You young sprouts don't understand either capitalism or economics. It is the capitalists who built this country....the government didn't do it....
Romney truly cares about the country and all of the people...Obama is a narcissist who only truly cares about himself. Democrats who think the rest of us owe them anything are selfish and greedy and jealous of those of who had the brains and initiative to do something productive with our lives.
Try to help yourselves first, we will give a hand up..but we do not want to support you forever. Sometimes the hardest thing a parent has to do is say no to those we love in order to help them grow up and take responsibility for their lives and families.
It has appeared to me for the last fifty years that the kids have gotten more and more spoiled and that has manifested itself in protest against everything that anyone may ask anything of them. So , they become Dumbocrats, thinking if they scream loud enough and call everyone who disagrees with them names, do enough rioting, sit-ins, etc...we will give in to them and turn over our collective wallets to them.
Schools have dumbed down so much, don't want our $87000/year union, tenured , lousy teachers to have to work too hard...the kids might learn the three R's, history (unless the dumbocrats get that all rewritten) maybe economics, some business education, and importantly some sense of duty to one's country.
The Feistys, Piggies, new dayBS, please shut the F up. Your hatefulness and lying and name calling gets tedious. Surely, you can find something constructive to do with ;your time, your efforts to destroy this country really bother me. I spent four years of my life defending your right to shoot off your immature little mouths...but I don't have to like it.
What have you done for your fellow man or your country? Anything?
I am sure Feisty hasn't done a thing but sit in front of her computer and bitch and moan.
Anyway, grow up!! I am tired of your lying, mudslinging, defamation of decent,caring men, and your feeble attempts at incitement.
I hope EVERYONE stops by to read what "America First" has to say.
This person is too ignorant to know that there was a group in history referred to as the American Firsters, a proponent was one Charles Lindbergh. You all remember him, he flew a plane over the ocean to gain great fame. He also did his damnedest to keep America out of WW 2. He thought that Hitler was a pretty decent sort. You may have heard of that war, one man, Hitler, was trying to MURDER every Jew, and anyone else that wasn't like him. Just about accomplished the deed too, because people like the poster above thought they knew more than the educated.
I read that post above, and the same sort of ignorance stands out in spades.
So, moron, let's reduce this down so someone as simple minded as you can get it:
No one is asking YOU, idiot, to pay for MY contraceptives. Or for anyone else either.
You have heard of this thing called insurance? See, when I PAY for insurance, there is often prescription (that means pills that you take to make you ALLLLL better) coverage. Why, some medications are completely covered, like well, VIAGRA for men who have trouble performing. Contraceptives would be one of those medications. Is that simple enough for you?
People like Ryan, who have certain antiquated religious beliefs and have more loyalty to an old nasty man in Rome than they do to the nation, want to make THEIR BELIEFS LAW IN CONTRADICTION TO THE CONSTITUTION WHICH STIPULATES A SEPARATION BETWEEN RELIGION AND GOVERNMENT.
Now, I do know that those of you who listen to Limbaugh and Glenn Beck daily have trouble with the larger concepts, but here it is.
You want to talk about freedom and limiting the role of government? GET YOUR FREAK HANDS AND PHILOSOPHY OFF MY BODY AND THAT OF MY DAUGHTERS'.
The man you follow, Romney is a sociopath. What is a sociopath? A sociopath is someone that uses people without regard for their feelings. He is without empathy, and able to fire large groups of people without caring what becomes of them. WHICH IS ROMNEY'S JOB HISTORY.
You are his perfect victim. They look for people like you. They convince you that you are smart, and able, and then they lower the boom. They prey on the stupid of this world.
In the future, if you wish to address me on this board, you will do so with respect.
Iowans express the intellect we know you have and vote for change. Dad gumit you all, at least one change is one more than the O team has given you. Choose workability, REAL ideas and real solutions and let us get this train back on track. Help America help you and the rest of us and vote for Mitt!
Ryan -- "...You have a responsibility and ... an obligation to help us...."
Iowans, express the intellect and love of freedom that we know you have and tell Ryan (and Romney) where they can stick their orders.
CoinFL I' ll tell YOU where to stick it. Us midwesterners are smarter than you dumbocrats
If you want more war, more failed trickle down, the keys to Wall St. back in the hands of the crooks and women and gays being 2nd class citizens you know who to vote for.
NEWSFLASH--8 POINTS IS NO LONGER A "SWING STATE".
This is funny Ryan asking people he refused to help because he needed to campaign for his meal ticket to continue. Iowa needs to remember who voted for the farm bill and who said no we have to go campaign.
I don't see on NBC Sen. Inhofe's report about the proposed EPA regulations that Obama has waiting quietly in committee, until after the election, for approval.
They're some doosies which will cost at least 7.4 million American jobs. The article is headlining on foxnews.com right now. You libs should pull your heads out of Obama's butt long enough to get informed.
This is Obama's December surprise.
Liberal, YOu Exits - clearly you exist in a Republican bubble since no such proposal is in committee. When you have to lie to get your candidate votes, it shows you've got no candidate - ie Romney!
Of course it's on FOX - where else would it be????
Obama/Biden 2012
seeking - their whole campaign is built on a card house full of lies. One right after another. So many in fact, it's hard to keep up. What disturbs me is not that these low information rwnj trolls on here fall for it. It's when the so called intelligent ones who are commenting in the media are believing it as well. We are all in trouble if this guy gets in. I can't tell people enough to think rationally and don't let this happen. We have a little over two weeks left. Don't give up and quit.
Robmey and Lyin setting in a tree
C-O-N-S-P-I-R-I-N-G
Frist comes the 47%ers
Then comes Social Security
Then comes women who have to a baby carriage!
Please vote for Obama we need you if you don;t want this to come true it will be a nightmare
Man, it really sucks to be wrong, eh Tony?
Here at least you got the ignorance is bliss thing-y down.
Good on you. :)
But I'm sure you got lots of explanations for the rather huge shift in the polls lately, right?
Obama has just done such a fantastic job.
Which is why O is talking up all his accomplishments. Oh wait, no, all he's doing ins making fun of Mitt's last name, a la a second grader.
Rock on, amigo.
Little "Richie Rich" Ryan now wants help! He has no plan to economically help the Middle Class, the Working Poor, the eilderly, and the disabled. He has an Economic Plan that does not help those on Medicare and Medicaid. He has no clue of how his "Economic Record OF Evil" has been slammed by the Catholic Church as inhumane. His 'boss' has no plans to help the Sensata Workers in Freeport Illinois. Little "Richie Rich" Ryan is the "Poster Child" of he Koch Brothers, and places like Freeport Illinois are economically expendible. This "Vulture/Speculator" has a very destructive record in Wisconsin, and his 'boss' would "Flip-Flop" on this too. Ask little "Richie Rich" Ryan if he has heard of Freeport Illinois? Little "Richie Rich" Ryan is on his own Iowa, and do not be fooled by this very "Mentally Ill" Tea Begger. Tell him that he needs to help himself, and be responsible for himself. It sounds like little "Richie Rich" Ryan needs help. This very selfish individual is just rude, manipulative, and immoral. Hey Iowa! Ask little "Richie Rich" Ryan about his meeting at the Caucus Restaurant meeting on Janruary 20, 2009? Look up the story for yourself America! Get the facts! Then come to your own conclusions.
Who in the hell do you think supports Obummer? It is some of the richest in the world!!!Buffet, Gates, Soros, Hollywood celebrities, radical leftists, rich union leaders. And we don't know for sure who all the foreigners are who are trying to buy a president. This is the most corrupt administration we have had in the last 100 years.
So some rich guys are Republican, so what?
and Progressive Forward ( sneaky term for communist),,,,your assesments are all based on democrats Lies. I never heard a democrat utter an honest word...lying is a way of life with you people.
Democrats are evil. The party of
"gimmee"!!!
The article is headlining on foxnews.com right now.
Nuff said.
The regs are for a cleaner environment. And anyone who believes it will eliminate this many jobs is a fool. Nothing but pure fear mongering.
Ryan go home, we don't need your kind of commie goverment, ya'll want to do some thing, stop the gridlock, You and your commie republicans beholden to wall street and the military industrial complex have held this country hostage long enough. go home and and think about what you've done to this country, you and your buddies want to turn it into a third world crap hole, go home, your against abortion at any cost, think of all the kids you've killed in the mid east and now you want to starve our kids. just go home, YOU ARE THE BEAST HIMSELF.
I am sorry to tell you, Obummer and his Dumbocrat cronies and czars are the communists. You are just plain stupid. I would say uneducated, but stupid fits better.
Yes BoBa, you used the wrong term. The GOPTP is fascistic in where they are leading this country.
Obama failed America in his failed "leadership" for four years and now wants to run again without any proposed plan ! And the lemmings follow him off the cliff! Im not crazy about romney but he is definitely the lesser of the evils,we have seen obamas plans bury the country and the poverty level grows as well as the deficit!
As a native HAWKEYE , IOWA doesn't need anything that Lyin' Ryan and Willard "dumber than S--T " Romney have to peddle. Don't need any fertilizer till next year ,so your crap is not needed.
Hey Iowa! Ask the GOP/RNC "Bain Trained Speculator" about what his Bain Capital is now continuing to do in Freeport Illinois? Does one think that both little "Richie Rich" Ryan, and the "Bain Trained Speculator" will "Flip-Flop" on this too?? Again!
It became obvious to me quite some time ago as regards the Republicans plans for the economy after the recession hit and now with Romney / Ryan. You'd think that the presidents detractors in Congress would have at least given some of his legislative proposals a test run instead of 'preventing most' of them from even making it to the floor, via filibuster.
Hey, why not effect some of these policies and let the results speak for themselves? If they work, good for the Country and, if they're as bad for the economy as 'some' have been saying, they can always be rescinded and the president would have hung himself!
As it turns out, the bulk and most pertinent of the presidents policies were held up and he's getting blamed for the sorry state of the economy..............I think you get the picture. Yes, I do think it's time for a change, Mr. McConnell, Mr. Boehner, Mr. Rubio et al. MOVE OVER!!!
As the sayin' goes... "If you're not a part of the solution... you are a part of the problem." Mr. McConnell, Mr. Boehner, and Mr. Cantor all think they are pretty cute holding the American people hostage. You think you're SO cute acting like spoiled brats and making the rest of us suffer because you're mad your policies were a complete failure to those who work their butt off everyday to survive? Why do we reward no work at all more than 8 hours of hard work? This logic is misplaced. (IE the tax code) Where's the insentive to work hard?
i can't believe iowa and ohio are so stupid. barry's a dud. in love with himself and the mirror. and all who follow him have MORONESIA. please, rust belt people, vote for a change. barry/biden or losers extraordinaire.
danderunch,
"i can't believe iowa and ohio are so stupid". Duh...and you wonder why they would vote for President Obama. Wonder who is the stupid one here!
please iowa/ohio/wisconsin - rust belters - don't vote for barry. he only loves power and himself and the mirror. he's a dud. and all who follow the 'vain one' are henceforth to be known as having MORONESIA. i thought midwesterners had core values and down to earth reasoning. what happened? vote romney/ryan.
You are delusional. Mr Romney is the one obsessed with power. He is unfit for office plain and simple.
What? you're trying to sell me a bridge to no where on faith? What's your plan? Oh you don't have one?? except more of George Bush. LMAO!! NO Thanks!! Obama / Biden
I wonder where Ryan and the republicans have been the last four years when Iowans needed them? Oh - that's right - they were all tied up pursuing their number one objective, to defeat the President.
In a campaign stop in Virginia, Obama said, "He's forgetting what his own positions are, and he's betting that you will, too. I mean, he's changing up so much and backtracking and sidestepping, we've gotta name this condition that he's going through. I think it's called ‘Romnesia.’” Obama went on to say, “If you come down with a case of Romnesia [#Romnesia] and you can't seem to remember the policies that are still on your website or the promises you've made over the six years you've been running for president, here's the good news, Obamacare covers pre-existing conditions. We can fix you up. We've got a cure. We can make you well. This is a curable disease.”
Ryan -- "Look, right here at Bass Pro, it's where we take our kids to teach them values."
Um, Mr Ryan: You shouldn't have to take your kids anywhere to teach them values. The best way to teach children values is to set a good example. But, of course, you wouldn't know anything about that.
Actually, that remark may have been much more revealing than Lyin' Ryan intended it to be!
A show of hands, please! How many of you know a dedicated fisherman? (One, two, three...) OK, that's, um, EVERYBODY.
How many of those fishermen have a remarkably flexible relationship with the truth? (Roaring ovation.)
There ya go, CO- what more could you need?
Greetings, Fellow Travellers and like- minded decent Americans:
I've been warning y'all about the impending tsunami of Rethuglican electoral fraud, and it's breaking over us as I type this. Tagg ("I'm Gonna Punch Out The President") Romney has purchased a large interest in the company that provides the voting machines for the crucial state of Ohio. It's very reassuring to know that, as a good Christian, he'd never dream of doing anything crooked or unethical to directly impact the election. No, he only bought his shares (less than three weeks before Election Day) because they look like such a sound investment. Yeeaaahh, that's the ticket!
Some of us remember that in '04, when Ohio was poised in a similarly pivotal role, these same Diebold machines apparently miscounted (i.e., tallied Democratic votes as Republican) or simply failed to record over 40,000 votes in the Buckeye State. The fact that the missing or falsely counted votes were all from Democratic precincts, and that none of the votes from Republican- leaning precincts were lost or mis- tallied, must surely rank as one of the most remarkable coincidences in the history of American elections.
Really, we can hardly fail to marvel at the miraculous nature of the outcome- an extremely narrow reelection for Cheney, with all of the catastrophic consequences that have followed.
Not that long ago, the polls were making it look like we had this one in the bag, and the Forces of Darkness were looking like April of '45; I had a feeling that it was too soon to break out the bubbly, and sure enough, Romney and Ryan's non-stop lying, combined with massive, well -funded efforts to intimidate minority voters (or failing that, to simply cause their ballots to 'switch' or disappear), will very likely be enough to throw this election to Grover Norquist's designated puppet- and the Dark Age that will descend upon the United States will be too awful to contemplate.
Look forward to being at war with Iran by late spring or early fall of next year. Forget about the 2016 elections; they'll be suspended by "Emergency Decree" of the
Koch BrothersRepublican National Committee. We'll get that fence on the Mexican border pretty quick; in response to millions of tons of food crops rotting in the fields, like what's already happened in Alabama, Washington and many other states, President Romney will sign an Executive Order for the use of forced labor from convicts... and then from the homeless... and then from the unemployed... and then from anybody who can't provetheir Aryan ancestry citizenship on demand (whoops).At least we'll finally be done with the ongoing struggle over teaching creation "science" and abstinence- only sex ed in public schools; "school choice" will be the very last policy ever enacted by the Department of Education before it's defunded and disbanded, which will mean that there won't be any public schools. Only those children whose parents are members in good standing of a "recognized" church will be able to get their kids into anything resembling a traditional school. The United States won't be training any more engineers or physicists for a good long while, but who cares? The Catholic, Evangelical and Mormon churches will quickly resolve all of their long- standing doctrinal disputes and work out a power- sharing agreement, with the German- Soviet Friendship Pact of 1939 as their model. Our college graduates won't know the Periodical Table, but we'll sure have lots and lots of missionaries to send to our good friends in China!
Speaking of whom- President Romney is sure gonna settle their hash, you betcha! He'll remind them heathens of who's the biggest dog on the block- and they'll remind him that from Son of a Bush onward, they hold the mortgage on 20%> of our country, and if we don't learn to kow-tow real damn quick like, they might just call in the note... no, we can expect Romney to act towards the Chinese in the way that people of his class always act towards those of greater power and wealth- with cringing, grovelling servility and toadying. Fortunately, there's a precedent in Bush's relations with the Saudi royal family to guide the protocol when the Chinese Communist Party leaders come to inspect their North American colonies.
That thumping noise you'll hear on Nov. 6th will be Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Eisenhower spinning in their graves.
Servo a constans pectoris.
I think Iowa will hold strong for Obama. Iowans are sensible people and they will be smart enough to figure out which policies have us in the hole we are in. We are still digging out of the mess that policies just like those that Romney has proposed created. They may not think that 140,000 to 150,000 new jobs every month is a very fast pace, but they know we could have been back in an economic dark age, thanks to W's mess.
My fellow citizens need to watch what is going on in Freeport Illinois. Then send a clear vote for the President, and send the GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief" back to one of his quiet rooms/elevators. It is time to say no to pathological liars, poltical "Flip-Flopping," outsourcing jobs, obstructionist tactics, and strategies of "Cultural Distractions." It is time to vote no to socially rude bullies, and the continuation of "Tinkle Down Economics." It is time to vote too tax cheats, trade cheats, and economic evil. It is time to vote no to the "Socially Sadistic Policies" of the GOP/RNC "Intervert and Chief." It is time to vote no to "Vulture Speculation," and not representing all of America. It is time to vote no to "Romulian Romney" and his UnAmerican Policies towards America. Vote for a President who will never sell out America. Do not vote for the GOP/RNC "Outsourcer and Chief." Who has put "Pure Profit" of his loyalty to America. That is fact!!
the debate on foriegn policy tomorrow night should be good, obama should do good, after all obama is a foreigner
I suppose if you look back into your family history you'll find quite a few "foreigners" too. Play the stupid game, it seems to go well with Republicans. I hope the President acquits himself well when he faces the nincompoop who made a laughing stock of himself on his European Tour.
OK alan, how do you think Obama will adress what happened in Benghazi? Will he try to continue the lie he's been telling or will he finally accept responsibility?
Either way, I think he's toast, as it's a lose-lose proposition for him - he failed that badly at foreign affairs.
