CANTON, OH -- Vice President Joe Biden has begun to take a different tack toward GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, taking aim at Romney's lurch toward the center on some issues and refusal to answer specifics on others.
Biden declared that the GOP ticket wasn't "hiding the ball" when it came to their agenda while campaigning earlier this year, but has begun to deliver a new message since the first presidential debate.
Seeking to hammer that message home in all-important swing state Ohio, Biden told a boisterous crowd Monday that "we are seeing the remaking of Mitt Romney right before our eyes."
Speaking to about 800 supporters at a Canton gymnasium, Biden cited women's rights and Afghanistan as policy areas where Romney's agenda is "etch-a-sketchy."
"This guy is out of touch on most of the fundamental issues," said Biden. "America's moved beyond where these guys are."
Biden's trip to Ohio marks his ninth visit there this year and the 23rd trip to the state of his vice presidency. He will hold five campaign rallies over three days, including a joint appearance with President Barack Obama on Tuesday.
While Biden's events are attended almost entirely by supportive and high-interest voters, they've become a barometer of how the campaign's new campaign attacks are resonating with the Democratic base. In Florida last week, voters chanted "malarkey!" in recognition of the vice president's uncorking of a favorite Irish colloquialism at the Danville debate. In Ohio Monday, supporters shouted "Romnesia!" even before Biden mentioned the new Democratic label for Romney's alleged malleability.


Bozo the Biden opens mouth and inserts giant floppy clown shoe. I just hope he was wearing his feisty red wig!!!
Only 15 more days and Bozo the Biden will be as forgotten as 98% of all VP's ever in office.
Except for his gaffes which will live on in political comedy history.
Really Albany Joe? Bozo? I'd liken Biden to a person who doesn't give a crap what you think.
He really does speak his mind.
But c'mon, bozo does sound like something someone in grade school would say.
I happen to think it's a big __________deal that Joe Biden's out telling it like it is.
Yep, whip out the sophomoric juvenile weapon of last resort - name calling.
When you can't run on your own record, take the attacks to the personal level and assault the character of your opponent...
Reading Albany Joe, this quote comes to mind: "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use." Soren Kierhegaard
Why doesn't Obama put everyone on welfare before he leaves ?
Joe--- Name calling the Vice-President and Fiesty? You have no class Joe and you sound desperate too. Does it feel like it's slip sliding away to you? It is for you and your Republican friends.
So all the left has is Malarkey and Romnesia, huh?
Lo, how the mighty have fallen.
Hell with the petty stuff these guys are talking about, you would think they post here at First Read.
Romney's surging in Ohio .
That's big trouble for Obama .
He already lost Florida for one swing state .
I happen to think it's a big __________deal that Joe Biden's out telling it like it is.

I better hurry up and get me free Obama phone before he's gone .
concernedone, yep, that's exactly what Albany Joe did--whip out the juvenile weapon of name calling; it's what conservatives, like you, do best. They have no facts, no substance, but they love them some name calling!
Oncor, why keep repeating that lie or do you suffer from "Romnesia", too?
I like Joe Biden. He has been a solid Vice President, sharing the burdens of office with President Obama, and pushing to use drones instead of troops in Afghanistan.
I can't imagine Paul Ryan in that office. He seems like a narrow minded, self-involved and hyper-angry little squirt to me.
Jody, Iowa
Soren iced the cake with that one ... in the vernacular of the day some 40+ years ago, it blew me away.
Joe in Abany -- And Biden would be the first to laugh at his gaffes. ; )
You should learn to do that. On second thought, maybe that's why most of
your posts include the HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA. I get it now.
Obama and Biden's scare tactics are over .
Old and worn out .
Like crying wolf a bit too much .
In other words Hard core Democrats.
Considering it will be Independents that will be deciding this election that's not a good sign.
Just keep telling them what they want to hear Joe.
ONTOR
I better hurry up and get me free Obama phone before he's gone .

PROOF you are an idiot sheeple...
Q: Has the Obama administration started a program to use "taxpayer money" to give free cell phones to welfare recipients?
A: No. Low-income households have been eligible for discounted telephone service for more than a decade. But the program is funded by telecom companies, not by taxes, and the president has nothing to do with it.
History
The SafeLink program has actually been offering cell phones to low-income households in some states since 2008, not beginning "earlier this year," as the e-mail claims. But the program is rooted in a deeper history.
When phone lines were first laid out in the late 19th century, they were not always inter-operable. That is to say the phone service created by one company to serve one town may not have been compatible with the phone service of another company serving a different town nearby. The telecom companies themselves saw the folly in this arrangement, and so in 1913, AT&T committed itself to resolving interconnection problems as part of the "Kingsbury Commitment."

That's right, that's all they had from the start scare tactics. So is Biden going to answer for the contract awarded his BROTHER to rebuild homes in Iraq?
How was it that HillStone, a newcomer in the business of home building, landed a massive and potentially lucrative contract to build 100,000 homes in war-torn Iraq?
Richter didn’t mince words. It really helps, he said, to have “the brother of the vice president as a partner,” according to a person who was present.
The “brother” Richter was referring to during the meeting is James Biden, the younger brother of Vice President Joe Biden.
Before you lefties get your panties in a wad over who did what back when, save your breath -- they are not in the WH nor are they running and like I said before 2 wrongs don't make a right. You all were screaming when it was about Bush but crickets on these issues. Just more corruption at the expense of the taxpayers.
Isn't California about $16 billion in the red ?
Seems like they deserve it .
They need to stop running their state like Obama would .
What scare tactics?
Don't you mean the truth that the republicans are poised to make women into second class citizens.
If as a woman you are so stupid that you think you need a vaginal probe to know you are pregnant then you are probably stupid enough to vote for Romnesia.
If as a woman you are so stupid you think men in congress like Akin know your health better than you and your doctor then you are probably stupid enough to vote for Romnesia.
If as a woman you need a man to tell you what to think and do then you are probably stupid enough to vote for Romnesia.
If you enjoy having the same rights and freedom to decide about your body and health as men then you would be stupid to vote for anything but a straight democratic ticket.
VOTE FOR WOMEN'S FREEDOM...VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012
sharing the burdens of Office, what a shock Amy with a partisan remark. Like Libya too eh? I think Biden's biggest burden was carrying Obama's nine iron. Speaking of Afghanistan why are we still there. I can tell you why not in Iraq and a little hint: It had nothing to do with O. Peace Prize
please define what Freedom's they dont have and please explain fair share. Next you can say vote for black slaves freedoms just to complete the mantra. tolerant Liberals what an oxymoron
You often wonder why Obama doesn't send Biden to state funerals or such. Now we know after his debate appearance because Crazy Joe smiles, giggles, yells, and makes rude gestures at very inappropriate times. That's enough to get any country more concerned and angered at the US.
So now Obama is so desperate in Ohio, apparently the Bubba and The Boss comedy tour didn't go so well, he now has to throw Biden back into action.
Still with the childish name calling. Obama/Biden might as well go with what they've been doing, they really don't have anything else.
No women I know act like second class citizens .
There's my point .
Obama Biden scare tactic are foolish and worthless .
ONTOR
From Wall Street to main street, who's not on some kind of welfare or Govt. assist?. Every corporation is on some kind of Govt. assist. Politicians call it tax cut, tax shelters, some say it's tax break but which ever one you choose, govt take the hit for it just like the assistance to the less privilege in our society. You remember the Bush tax cuts........thats right. We should take care of the rich but not the poor. Common moron, choose to be educated and not stupid.
DCIA, yes, VP Biden would laugh at himself. The truth is there isn't a candidate or politician who has not spoken some gaffes.
Romnesia has his own lengthy list. Here's one, however, it shows ignorance as well as inarticulate choice of words. Mitt: "When you have a fire in an aircraft, there's no place to go, exactly. And you can't find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft because the windows don't open. I don't know why they don't do that. It's a real problem."
ONTOR, educate yourself. Romney doesn't even support equal pay for equal work and neither does his pal Lyin' Ryan and most of the GOP.
Obama and Biden for some odd reason are trying to win the women's vote by making them all out to be victims. That just doesn't seem to be working out to being a winning strategy for them.
Like I said before the modern democrat party is no different than a horde of barbarians. Look at the Occutard movement. Fine upstanding citizens that bunch, all with their Guy Fawkes mascot. to quote Obi Wan, how uncivilized
I seem to have to pay plenty of taxes .
So if my taxes go down a little , you think I'm on welfare ?
That sounds a bit loony .
***SCAM ALERT ****** SCAM ALERT********SCAM FRAUD ALERT!!*********ROMMELSCAM ALERT!!!!!***
That IS Right, the republicanCrimeCartelSoldier MittTaxPittanceRommel and his side kick Lyin'Ryan are running a voting machine Cheat Scam Which: DELETES Democrat Votes and Keeps republican Aristocrat Votes. These Aristocrats are the same Lineage as their relatives from The French Revolution; NO WONDER THEY WERE SENT TO THE GUILLOTINE. Here is SOLID evidence:
To everyone's amazement, we learn that two
members of the Hart Intercivic board of directors, Neil
Tuch and Jeff
Bohl, have made direct contributions to the Romney campaign. This,
despite the fact that they represent 40 percent of the full board of directors
of a company whose independent, disinterested and studiously non-partisan status
in any election taking place on their voting machines would seemingly be a 'no
brainer'.
To Mr. Bohl's credit, after giving a total
of $4,000 to "Romney For President", it must have occurred to him that it might
not look so good for a board member of a company whose voting machines are to be
a part of the presidential election to be playing favorites—so he gave $250 to
Barack Obama to sort
of balance the scales.
Mr. Tuch? Not so much.
Interestingly, Mr. Bohl lists himself as an
investor at H.I.G. Capital for his Romney contributions but his far smaller
donation to Obama was done as "Jeff Bohl, self-employed innkeeper".
And finally, we learn that H.I.G. is the
11th largest of all the contributors to the Romney effort.
Did I say "finally"? My bad...because there
is, indeed, more.
Can you guess who is reported to have a
financial relationship with H.I.G. Capital
Numerous media sources,
including Truthout,
are reporting that Solamere Capital—the investment firm run by Mitt Romney's
son, Tagg, and the home of money put into the closely held firm by Tagg's uncle
Scott, mother Anne and, of course, the dad who might just be the next President
of the United States—depending upon how the vote count turns out, in our little
tale, in the State of Ohio—have shared business interests with H.I.G. either
directly or via Solamere Advisors which is owned, in part, by Solamere Capital,
including a reported investment in H.I.G. by either Solamere Capital or Solamere
Advisors.
Lee Fang, in
his piece for The Nation exploring the government related activities of
various companies in which Solamere has an interest writes-
"Meanwhile, HIG Capital—one of the largest
Solamere partners, with nearly $10 billion of equity capital—owns a number of
other firms that are closely monitoring the federal government. "
While the Cincinnati scenario is —at this
point—fiction, the rest of this story is all too true, including the part where
the voting machines to be used in Hamilton County will be those provided by Hart
Intercivic.
And while I am not suggesting conspiracies
or that anyone would get involved in any foul play here, most
particularly the GOP candidate for President, how is it possible that so many
people could exercise so much bad judgment?
The sanctity of voting in America is
supposed to be one of our most important virtues. So concerned are we with a
'clean' process that James O'Keefe has made a career entrapping, video taping
and destroying those sympathetic to Democratic Party candidates and causes who
cross the line when it comes to the voting process. And that's just fine. If Mr.
O'Keefe can legitimately expose someone engaging in voter fraud, he most
certainly should call them out.
So, why would these individuals who serve
on the board of directors of Hart Intercivic go out of their way to make a
contribution to any political candidate given the critical importance
of their company remaining above reproach when it comes to the political
process? And why would those who run the company that owns Hart Intercivic be
giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to a political candidate? And why would
a political candidate and his family have a financial relationship with a
company that owns a chunk of the voting machine company that will be counting
the actual votes given to that political candidate or his opponent?
Keith Olbermann was suspended from his job
at MSNBC for donating a couple hundred bucks to a local candidate that was a
friend of his. Why? Because his employer required that journalists at the
network stay free of having given such contributions to any candidate
for all the obvious reasons.
Is it really too much to ask that those who
control the voting machines that record and count the votes of our elections be
held to at least the same standard?
Hopefully, everything will go swimmingly in
Cincinnati on Election Day. And, if it doesn't, it will no doubt be the result
of honest error.
Yet, because of this uncomfortable chain of
ownership, we now find ourselves with one more headache among the many headaches
that accompany the important work of choosing an American president and
believing that the process was a fair one—particularly when such an election
comes down to a very few votes as may well be the case on Election Day,
2012.
Really, guys. You couldn't find anything
else to invest in? You couldn't donate all those hundreds of thousands to
charity rather than put it into political contributions so that your fellow
countrymen would have no reason to ever doubt or question the results of so
important an election—or any election for that matter, even if it's the choice
of a county dogcatcher?
I truly wonder sometimes just what these
allegedly smart people have inside their heads—or, more importantly, their
hearts. And Fellow and Sister Americans, WE KNOW Rommel and EddiMunster are gonna rig the voting machines as they intend to rig Medicare and Social Security AND NEW WARS...And Some NAIVE Voters STILL want to vote for THESE CROOKS????
PhantomBeast makes it easy for you and lessons your suffering: Vote to keep Prez O in the Whitehouse as We need the guy; Hear That Fellow Men Voters????
Biden's biggest contributions to this campaign so far, have been "gaffing" his way through one stump-stop after another, and laughing at the VP debate to the extent that it became a caricature of his persona.
Romney has been specific on every statement he's made, and he's also debunked the Obama camp's attempts to define him on every point.
Biden needs to slow down and take a good look at his boss, who is not only a LIAR; but, he's also in so far over his head as POTUS that we need to remove him on election day, and put someone in there who knows what he's doing.
GET SOME TONIGHT MITT ROMNEY!!!!!
Ummm... Snuffy!
Maybe you should clean up around your own backyard prior to complaining about others! lol
This was the intellectual lead-off from the Idiot from Albany!

If it were not for double standards you clowns wouldn't have any!
Yea
Keep trying those Obama type scare tactics .
They have zero or no effect anymore .
I live in the Buckeye state and it will be interesting to watch as election day comes. I'm in Columbus and must say I'm a little surprised by all the support for Romney....the city tends to be more liberal but there is an outpouring of support for him here. Based simply on yard signs, Romney should do well in OH.

I don't, that is usually 'reserved' for the Secretary of State as it is he or she that would most often meet foreign dignitaries in their homelands ... also where they happen to get buried.

You wonder if Biden has an undiagnosed case of Tourette's syndrome.
I feel for the guy. He's not in good shape
Who?
Dan - actually the free phone program was started by the FCC in 1996 with land lines to make sure even poor people had a way to call for assistance in case of emergencies.
But, does it really surprise you that the far right now claims this was all Obama's doing? They only have lie after lie after lie to fall back on!

It looks like Obama's getting beat .
Oh and now it’s just being reported Joe Biden’s brother who has no experience in
construction but just started a company a few years back (HillStone International) got a govt. contract for 1.5 billion to build homes in Iraq… Hillstone stands to make 760 million in profit. C R O N Y!
Yeah I guess I would be laughing at everything too...

Must be catching too:
"FRH:Obama/Biden KEEP MOVING THIS COUNTRY FORWARF!"
NOT ONLY DID Halliburton get 100's OF UNBID CONTRACTS, but got PAID for killing soldiers
The Department of Defense paid former Halliburton subsidiary KBR more than $80 million in bonuses for contracts to install electrical wiring in Iraq. The award payments were for the very work that resulted in the electrocution deaths of US soldiers, according to Department of Defense documents revealed today in a Senate hearing. More than $30 million in bonuses were paid months after the death of Sgt. Ryan Maseth, a highly decorated, 24-year-old Green Beret, who was electrocuted while taking a shower at a US base in January 2008. His death, the result of improper grounding for a water pump, has been classified by the US Army Criminal Investigations Division (CID) as a "negligent homicide." Maseth's death had originally been labeled an accident. Bonuses were paid to KBR in 2007 and 2008, after CID investigators had officially expressed concerns about the quality of KBR's electrical work. For its part, KBR denies any culpability for the electrocution deaths.
JoAnnaSmith1
Can you compare 8yrs of Bush to 3yrs and 10months of Obama's presidency? Can you? All metrics, from WS to MS, show we're better off. You guys are just jealous he's getting the job done. If GOP policies were so wonderful, how come the country has feared better under Democrats? Better start getting ready for another 4yrs of this great President, Obama.
OR they hate Romney/Ryan so much they don't want to use the letter "R".
Oh okay Dan.... Thanks for pointing that out... dang I thought Bidens brother making 100s of millions from govt contracts was a bad thing. I was wrong. It's all good. Do you think Romney knows you are kewl with it?
Wow JAS1 - our fine libbie friends have now gone from silly name calling to making it all about BBBUUUUSSSHHHH!!!!!

Good to hear Biden talk about Afghanistan, the other day he thought we were fighting in Iran and talking about all the casualties we suffered there. And it is nice that the press reminded him that he was in Ohio. Face it: Our potential successor in chief is senile.
Jody made the comment that calling Biden a Bozo was unappropriate. May I remind her some of the names Feisty and her Liberal Left friends have called Romney, Mittens, Mitt the t_it, just to name a few. You have never heard me address Obama as anything but by his name or by the President. Then there are the terms referring to Paul Ryan, such as Lyin Ryan. If you live in a glass house, don't throw stones. I don't approve of either side saying nasty things.

Subsidizing the Spanky hoard is very expensive. Add an extra 10 billion and you might be close. People in CA need to add to the coffers by drinking more Pinot-Noire.
my apologies, I should say Vercingetorix
tell that to 23 million unemployed. I will give you this though, Bush helped push start the car, Obama has been driving since 09. The 'We need more time' maybe sufficient for you but not to I and many others. If O has done such a terrific job you think he would exploit his achievments or accomplishments. Instead we get Flock of Seagulls
ONTOR -
An intellectual heavyweight you are not.
Spanky, from Bush, to Cheney, to dogs on cars, to tax returns, to killing cancer victims, to binders, to etchy-sketchy, to a war on women, to being rich, to what Romney's wife wears, to "Romnesia", to throwing grandma off a cliff, rinse, lather, repeat. It's what they started with, no sense in changing now.
Can't argue with that.

Thanks for pointing out the Halliburton killed soldiers because they cut corners for more profit, or that they got HUNDREDS OF UNBID CONTRACTS WORTH UPWARDS OF 30 BILLION DOLLARS???
HOW DO YOU THINK ROMNEY GOT HIS START IN THE BUSINESS WORLD?
Naw he couldnt have had help from HIS DAD, A FORMER GOVERNOR AND PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, could he?
OH NOW I GET IT, YOU DONT KNOW THAT HALLIBURTON IS DICK CHENEY'S COMPANY
Or union benefits blackcatwhitecat .
BCWC, glad you liked the quote.
DCIA, nothing like some Romney quotes to remind us of who he is and isn't, depending on the day and wind conditions.
Here's another Mitt classic: "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." Whatever the heck that means!!!
"Russia is our number 1 geopolitical foe." Even Putin laughed at that one; commented that this is 2012, not the height of the Cold War.
Joe in Albany,
Excellent post!! People should be reminded of what a feeble-minded individual Biden is and how close he is to being a President. That should scare the living HELL out of everyone!!
I guess we now know what they meant by the "etch-a-sketch" comment. Right before the first debate Mr. Romney totally erased the picture he had constructed during the campaign of who he was and what he believed in, and became an entirely different person who actually almost looks reasonable. Too bad we now have no idea who he really is and what he really believes in or what he would do.
Does anyone whine more than Obama supporters ?
Actsofterrob,
According to Reuters correspondent Hadeel Al Shalchi's 9-12-12 report in which he interviewed Benghazi citizens in their native language:
As you can see from this report, there is another story that has been told about the events on Sept. 11th. I viewed Google Map of area around consulate and it is located in a sparsely populated area. The approach of an armed attack force in this area would have been seen well before it got to the consulate's perimeter. A counterattack by US consulate security personnel could have been launched while the attackers were still on open ground. It wasn't. Why? Perhaps, because security personnel thought it was a protest. It is possible and until more is known, it is impossible to know what transpired that day.
Because George W. Bush beat him to it!
Yea - Obama himself does!
It is simply amazing that a sitting President and VP have to resort to name calling and character assassination in order to try and win an election. It is really sad watching them become the laughing stock of the nation. Ask any one that is thinking of voting for Mr. Obama to spell out Obama's plans for cutting spending, reducing the debt, balancing the budget, leveling the playing field in trade, comprehensive energy plan, etc.. and they will not give you an answer. Not because they are stupid or don't pay attention, but because Mr. Obama himself can not and has not answered such questions. It is as if Mr. Obama believes that he can win the election based on trite phrases/slogans. That may work with some voters, but I think the majority of voters are expecting a lot more from Mr. Obama. Too bad he is not up to the task.
But what else would you expect from a guy who goes to a fund raiser on the night of another 9/11 terrorist attack that left 4 Americans dead and resulted in the theft of sensitive security information? Hell, the man hasn't even felt that it is necessary to speak to the nation about the attack. He was too afraid it would damage his campaign, so he basically tried to down play it in any way he could. Including lying to the American people by adopting a cover story originally concocted by the terrorist that pulled off the attack.. That's not leadership, it's disgusting self interest.
JerseyGirl, exactly where did I say what you claim I said in your #1.55? My comment pointed out the obvious to Concernedone referring to juvenile name calling by liberals while Albany Joe and friends name call is hardly equivalent to what you claim I posted. DO NOT distort my comments.
Just wait till after Nov 6th ... the DENIAL will be humorous ! The "SPIN" will be hilarious !! Benghazi will be his Achilles heel because Obama repeatedly distorted the truth and he can't run from it !!!
Actually Democrats make reference to the gender gap because IT'S REAL. http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/21/gender-gap-near-historic-highs/
It's real because Republican positions are bad for women. You'd like to pretend that equal pay, support for education, and reproductive rights are of no significance compared to "the economy", but in reality they are PART OF the economy for everyone who could be affected by the draconian measures favored by Conservatives.
Remember when Obama told us that he would simply sit down, face to face, with the Iranian leadership and this would all be resolved. He didn't even attempt it. Instead, he sent Hillary on a year and a half wild goose chase of trying to negotiate with Iran. While the Iranians used the "negotiations "as a stall tactic. During that time frame they increased the number of centrifuges making enriched uranium, beefed up their conventional arsenal and worked on missile delivery systems. At the end of that year and a half we didn't even have the outline of an agreement. The "talks" utterly failed. And no progress towards an agreement has been made since then. Zero, Instead Iran is now engaging in cyber warfare attacks on our financial institutions, aiding Assad in Syria, assisting terrorist throughout the region, etc...
FAILURE. OBAMA FAILURE.
I live in Ohio and nobody is fooled by Romnesia. The big swing state is going Obama again and a must to take the Presidency. Everyone else needs to get the job done to send these GOP liars home.

@ Joe
This "bozo" cleaned ryan's clock in the debate.
It would appear he doesn't have to, if elected Romney will to that in no time. Judging from Bain's newest US factory closure with a corresponding Bain opening in China (Sensada plant in Freeport, Illinois). So much for Bain's "rescue takeovers". This company was quite profitable, but I'm sure it will be much more profitable paying it's new workers $1.85/hr. Is this Romney's plan to "grow the economy"?
Whip,
Yeah...if by laughing at the dead soldier comment as if it meant nothing...right? Biden is an embarrassment to the USA. Why do think that Osama wanted Obama dead? Osama had it right...if something ever happened to Obama and Biden became President... God help us all!!

Obama did not start the SafeLink program. You are right about that.
Obama has greatly expanded the program though. He owns it now. Subscibership:
2005 - 139,261
2006 - 145,734
2007 - 164,626
June 2008 - 183,972
June 2009 - 618,774 A 236% increase from 6/2008 - 6/2009

Drill baby Drill apparently only knows how to read a Fox headline and then make wild accusations. Drilling into an article is far beyond the skills that poster. How would DBD know Biden's brother is making 100dreds of millions upon gazillions of dollars on a government contract? It is as ludicrous as the claim that Biden's brother started the company. If it is a right-wing poster, you can be assured it is 99% fiction.
And name calling..... don't forget the name calling. When you have nothing to stand on talk in circles, avoid the question and start slinging names.. :)
Biden has been extremely effective during this campaign. And he needs to pour it on about the etch a sketch. Romney was etch a sketching eighteen years ago. If there is one thing voters are suspicious of, it is Romney's ability to transcend his past. And by past, I mean three months ago or three days ago. It is time for short quick thrusts to the solar plexus of the Romney beast. If the smacks are quick and hard tonight during the debate, Romney will stammer, and he will get very rude. I just hope Schieffer covers all of the major foreign policy issues - and doesn't focus on the mistake that some mid-level staffer in the State Department made on Benghazi. If he does, Obama should remind people that the Gipper traded arms for hostages and sent 300 troops to their death in Lebanon, without bullets. W. didn't read or if he did, did not heed, a CIA cable about Middle Easterners wanting to learn to take off in planes but not wanting to learn how to land - at the same time of phone chatter about planes being flown into buildings. NOW THOSE WERE MISTAKES TO BE BLAMED ON A PRESIDENT.

Budget for welfare (TANF) is about $32 billion per year now, about the same as Bush's last budget. You have fallen victim to a Republican talking point which portrays welfare system spending as out-of-control. Spending has not gone up.
Temporary Aid to Needy Family(welfare) program averages $400 per family per month with a two year eligibility limit. It is administered by states and recent flexibility allowance permits changes that produce a 20% higher job placement rate for any change to become permanent.
Romney/ Republicans and their media outlets LIE about welfare program. It is not hard to find the facts I have cited above.

No, California doesn't deserve it, but we can't seem to vote out of office, those dysfunctional Democrats who continually spend more than the state brings in. California is a state of takers, and to fund the Dem Party, they continue to use entitlements for the vote.
If you want regulations against business, come to CA - we have a bunch of them.
The state has issues with passing a budget, so a law is passed whereby if the budget isn't passed on time, then the lawmakers don't get paid. So it wasn't, they didn't get paid, then sued for back wages and won in the 9th Circus Court.
The school system needs money, but the management of the system has more administratorcs than you can shake a stick at. And the teachers, some of the highest paid in the nation for one of the lowest testing rates, continue to ask for more money at the expense of taxpayers. And they don't teach kids, they teach kids to pass the STAR tests.
Unfortunately we can't overcome the Democrat rule, for now, subject to change within four years.
Now we have a referendum where the upper 1% will pay taxes for those in the state who don't.

Housing news is strong today and looks to continue improving:
http://www.realtor.org/news-releases
WASHINGTON (October 19, 2012) - September existing-home
sales declined modestly, but inventory continued to tighten and the national
median home price recorded its seventh back-to-back monthly increase from a
year earlier, according to the National Association of Realtors®.
Total existing-home sales, which are completed transactions
that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, fell 1.7
percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.75 million in September from
an upwardly revised 4.83 million in August, but are 11.0 percent above the 4.28
million-unit pace in September 2011.
Lawrence Yun , NAR chief economist, said the market trend is
up. "Despite occasional month-to-month setbacks, we're experiencing a
genuine recovery," he said. "More people are attempting to buy homes
than are able to qualify for mortgages, and recent price increases are not
deterring buyer interest. Rather, inventory shortages are limiting sales,
notably in parts of the West."
The national median existing-home price for all housing
types was $183,900 in September, up 11.3 percent from a year ago. The
last time there were seven consecutive monthly year-over-year increases was
from November 2005 to May 2006.

TOO BAD you dont know how that works...
Lake County was one of HUNDREDS of Counties that the homes were OVER VALUED BY UPWARDS OF 50-75%
Sac County was at 60% etc etc....
This article is from 2005:
The report, by Richard DeKaser, chief economist of National City Corp., examined
299 metro areas accounting for 80% of the U.S. housing market. (Chart: High-priced housing faces risks; 299 metro areas ranked)
The highest-risk markets are in California; Southern
Florida; parts of the Boston area; the Long Island, N.Y., counties of Nassau and
Suffolk; and Ocean City, N.J.
The big culprit: in 85% of the cities surveyed, home-price
gains outpaced income gains during the past year. In Bakersfield, Calif., prices
rose 33% while incomes increased 3%. In 29% of areas, prices outpaced income
growth by at least 10 percentage points.

Biden is an idiot- the decision to choose him as veep was all you needed to know about how "smart" Obama was- and, please, don't start in with Palin. She's no brain trust- but Biden is as dumb as dirt.
So is Obama. Otherwise, why simply Watch as our people are killed? Why not DO something?
Seems all Obama was worried about was deflecting blame from himself- so, the video fairy tale was invented.
Obama's done. This last disaster cost four people their lives- it, along with his abject failures on the economy and the debt will cost him his job.

So, are you implying that we're better off with conservative leadership? Like the period from 2001- 2008 when balanced budgets went deficit? When the debt skyrocketed on tax cuts, two unfunded wars, unfunded Medicare Part D, and the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008? During the first time gas cost $4.00/gal? Back when the last conservative was leaving office and the job market was shedding 800,000 jobs a MONTH?
And to think that the best the conservatives can come up with is a flip-flopping, vulture capitalist, who chooses a senator from Wisconsin that voted for every penny spent/wasted on the debt crisis and to socialize our capitalist system, as his running mate? But most importantly, how many lives did it cost under the last conservative leadership? Talk about disasters!!

Only, well, the crowd wasn't even enough to field the kickoff at a nearby high school football game.
Ten people -- yes, a crowd of 10 -- took the time to stop and listen to Fluke as she touted the federal health care overhaul and condemned Mitt Romney's call to cut federal taxpayer support to Planned Parenthood.
Yet, that crowd of 10 was enough for the Reno Gazette-Journal to fill more than 500 words of newsprint Saturday to report to its readership Fluke's comments. The article ran under the headline: "Fluke pushes early voting in Reno."

So maybe you don't know as much about Biden as you think. In fact I believe you didn't even know he ran for President in the Democratic primary two times.
Further, in your remark to funnygirl, I would say you don't have a clue as to how the Congress works. The Congress is not there to rubber stamp the President's policies. FYI, most President, if not all, have to work without a 60 vote majority in the Senate and they got things done. It's called LEADERSHIP, which is something YOU and OBAMA apparently know nothing about. Now tell me why hasn't the Democratic controlled Senate produced a Budget Resolution in the past 3 years?
when you drag your knuckles does it hurt?
sfcret - You clearly are beyond feeble. No congress in the past has taken a oath to make a Preident a one-term President then worked to that goal, despite the damage it has done to the country
You of all people shouldn't talk about feeble minds with the idiotcy you post You support an empty suit that jumps to the strings pulled by Grover Norquist and you're proud of that? How sad and unpatriotic.
You know as much about politics as your original post about the runners who could run a less than 2 minute mile - nothing!
You know NOTHING and you prove it daily. I'll walk circles around you ANY day as far as intelligence goes - and you know it! Everything you post is BS - and you HATE being called on it!
When you have to side with the likes of CA, Concern, WCA, JAS - you know you've hit rock bottom!
Obama/Biden 2012
SeekingSanity - You are the only one with a feeble mind. Look at the left wing nut jobs you follow around. Now if you are so smart answer my question about the Democratic controlled Senate, if you can't STFU and move on.
BTW, I admitted I miss typed on the 2 minute mile but it appears it went over your head, like everything else. All you do is spout the left wing talking points and you aren't even good at that.
SeekingSanity
I love your posts. Please keep running circles around the teabags and beating them over the head with facts.
Even if Mitt Rommel the probable tax felon manages to steal the election with a voting machine company he has a majority share in (HART Intercivic) we'll still need posts like yours.
Go google that voting machine company if you want a real Halloween scare.

Mitt Robme stood on stage at both debates and clearly said he wants to give a 20% tax cut, STARTING AT THE TOP (1%). After that, I doubt very seriously if Republicans would give the middle class at 20% tax cut too and it doesn't matter anyway because by then Republican followers will have forgotten all about that too.

Yes JS1, Feisty won't relinquish her crown despite the many lefty usurpers HAHAHAHA!
Im sorry LOL but how does it go? Low Info. not such a smart move. oh well, chilled the 'blank you America, I got mine' attitude of the left rears its ugly head.
Caesar.....That's Willards position on 47% of the American people......Remember what he said "My job is not to worry about those people"!
so enlighten me how a straight ticket for either party helps chilled? How come Obama only cares for an infintesimal percent of the populus? you know he and his closest lackeys? because 23mil unemployed are just bumps in the road huh?
Caesar.....I'm just doing my small part to rid Congress of the 'do nothing' TeaPeople....gridlock has proven to be very bad and awful for the country.
As for the jobs.....ask the Weeper of the House and his cohorts why they refused to move bills forward. Oh, wait, I know.....McConnell said it best......"Make Obama a one term President"......
Jobs, deficit and the country as a whole became collateral damage to the obstructionists agenda. Sad!
I'm curious, why use a Tea Party motto in relation to the left? Oh yes...Republican projection. Sorry, I forgot for a moment. The issue with the right is that it is physically impossible for them to understand what motivates the left. They must therefore project their own motivation and assign it to the left...strange really.

but the democratically controlled Senate and Congress from 06-10 proved to be such a prosperous time for us? We did get Frank Dodd and ACA. Just say it chilled your a partisan hack that firmly believes in one party rule.
Obama is doing a good job on his own but its the opposing parties agenda to do that. After all how many democrats in congress and senate tried to make W Bush a two term?
Ok.......I'm partisan, yes.....name calling isn't very productive...
Oh, Oh, Caesar, you brought up Dubya.....;o(
what names? a hack, well if the shoe fits but voting party lines hasnt proven to be very productive either but I digress. As for Bush there is a difference, I am not blaming him for Obama's lack of leadership.

Martin Luther King
Romney: "I saw my father march with Martin Luther King."
Martin Luther King -
Romney pulls a Clinton
(The meaning of "saw") Romney: "I've tried to be as accurate as I can be . . . If you look in the dictionary, the term "saw" includes being aware of...I did not see it with my own eyes."
Back in "the day", it was the job of the Vice Presidential running mate to do what Super-Pacs do now, gin up the rhetoric, fire up the base and say things that the top of the ticket would have "plausible deniability on if the opposition cried "Foul!"...
Biden and Ryan are the inheritors of this great tradition in the age of the insta-poll and the 24 hour news cycle...
It's kind of like WWI, where the technology of warfare was so far ahead of the tactics...They are waging a 20th century battle on a 21st century landscape...
Well said.
The one thing to remember, in both war and politics, ultimate victory still requires "boots on the ground." While the state legislatures have been trying to do everything they can to eliminate the voter turnout advantage the Democratic party has in many states, the courts have been turning their obvious tactics aside. At the same time, the Dems have continued their effort to get out the vote.
WHOEVER you are voting for, VOTE !!!!
Climate change flip-flop
Romney #1: "I believe that the world is getting warmer. I be-
lieve humans contribute to that."
Romney #2: "We don't know what's causing climate change...and the idea of spending trillions of dollars to reduce CO2 emissions is not the right course.
It is difficult to prepare for two different debating opponents.
You have to wonder about the voters who have not made up their minds yet.
"Independents" are former Republicans who have become disgusted with what the GOP has become and moderates have left or were forced out of the party. Many will vote for President Obama simply because the alternative guarantees the demise of the country.
"Undecided" voters are those who don't care enough to become fully informed. If they vote at all, they'll make up their mind in the voting booth, maybe flip a coin.
In either case, its a scary indictment of the election process.
Actually, I think you could replace "undecided" with "republican".
No one with the sense of a turnip would vote Republican unless they were ultra wealthy. Romney has done everything short of coming out and saying, "I'm going to funnel every dime I can squeeze out of you people up to my rich friends and oh by the way anything ever put in place to protect you from abuse by your employer, well that's out the window too. Vote for me and tomorrow you're a serf."
Even a turnip wouldn't vote for that. It's too poor. Heck I bet the guy who takes care of Romney's dancing horse that makes a six figure salary isn't even voting for him...
smart man, the dancing horse groom. Makes more money than many of you combined but knows Romney isn't his friend.
mj: Its not that Republican supporters are not informed, they just don't have the brain capacity needed to understand what they are being told or to understand that the lies they are being told.
When the GOP party regulars say they won't raise taxes for people, they mean for the true people, the corporations. The Mitt Romney says he cares about 100% of the people, he does mean "Corporations are people, my friend."
If you vote for a Republican, you must truly be stupid.
My view of undecided voters at this late date is they are the ones at a deli who cannot decide what to order for lunch--decisions of any type are likely overwhelming for them.
It doesn't matter how many lies Obama and Biden tell; the libs will just sling more childish insults and come up with fantastic excuses for them (like "The Tea Party is composed of terrorists who are more powerful than the President and the Senate combined").
We can only hope that any true independents left will read the drivel being posted by the left wing and ask themselves, "Are these the people I want running my country?"
There are no undecided voters........at least for federal/national positions.......
They only say they are.......lookee, lookee, I'm special.......Playing the polling game!
That there are any undecided voters at this point in the election is very curious to me. Even if you aren't as deeply invested as the majority of the people here obviously are, to be reading/posting opinions on a daily basis, this campaign has been in process for two whole years. You can hardly miss it. What is it that they are waiting for in order to cast their vote for any candidate? I am honestly curious about this in a completely bipartisan way. It's something that has always left me wondering.
Is it because they don't support any candidate? Are they mostly Independents, or something else other than Republican or Democrat? Have they become so disenchanted with the political process as a whole (and honestly, who can blame them), that they're considering not voting at all? Are votes being based entirely on the outcome of the debates? Or is it something else entirely?
If you're still undecided, or you know someone who's undecided, please share the reasons why. I'd really like to know.
As on of those undecided voters...that by the way won't be flipping a coin in the voting booth and certainly do care enough to be as informed as possible. Not an easy task these days consider how much false information is out there. Most things I hear - I do the research and discover there is a complete other side.
As I sort through the chaos and ANGER of this election I continue to see a few themes starting with Romney, in my opinion, he is basing his campaign on telling us that everything Obama does is wrong BUT I am still waiting to hear what he is going to do to fix it..and trust me being undecided and more open minded, I am listening. I also feel that Romney keeps changing his stance ( abortion, healthcare etc.) to the point that I feel I can't trust he wont do it again once in office. At this point, I am not sure I know exactly what he stands for. My biggest issues with him are how he says he will handle student loans and repealing Obamacare...which now I am not certain thats what he will do. The comment about asking your parents to borrow the money for college is ridiculous and shows how out of touch he is with the true middle class. We saved for our kids for college but trust me you would be shocked how many have not and those loans are the only way to college for many middle class kids. Not to mention lowering the cost of college a few thousand here and there will make little to no difference to most.
As for Obama, I don't think he has done everything promised but I am smart enough to realize this was pretty much impossible with out the parties cooperating. Am I better off today than I was 4 years ago...YES..could things be better ...YES.
My last thought is that if you read back through this thread of comments...its incredibly sad that politics have pretty much become a thing of ANGER. Its hard for someone listening and trying to make and educated decision to see through all the anger and determine who really is the best the candidate.
In recent history there have always been Democrats. There have always been Republicans. There have always been moderates and extremists on both sides.
But never before, since the Civil War, has the US been so divided, so angry, so polarized. Crises and hardship in the country have never been so bad since the Great Depression. Finger-pointing and blame are almost rabid in their intensity. Republicans blame the Democrats and Obama, Democrats blame the Republicans and Bush. There is actual hatred festering between the different sides of almost every single demographic division. It's truly frightening.
Probably the most important characteristic a good president must have is the ability to create consensus and harmony among the different factions in government, and in the country as a whole. For whatever reason, Obama has been a total failure at bringing people together.
Heap blame and scorn on whomever you now consider to be your mortal enemy: GOP, Liberals, Tea Party, Rich, Poor, it doesn't matter. It is the very fact that we are so divided that must be laid at Obama's feet.
He has driven our country apart.

Sorry, amigo.

I hate to tell you its been feasting for a long time for me it was bed time for bonzo star Ronald Reagan frankly I only lay it at one Partys feet the Republicans
Romey's Bain is still rapidly shipping jobs to China. They are still working off the template that Mitt left them. Can you imagine what the foreclosure rate would be like under a Romney administration. His friends ship the jops out to pay $1 per hour salary and make super profits, and then he says let the foreclosures run it's course so speculators can buy up the houses and rent them out to the former home owners. Under Romney Ryan most of America will be on the streets.
Even the wealthy would not vote Wrongme unless they didn't think it through. The DOW has historically done better under Democratic administrations. Same with the deficit. It has ballooned under EVERY republic administration. They are real businessmen, unlike Wrongme, who preys upon them. The real businessmen know numbers, and like anyone that has looked at them, know they are impossible.
Obama/Biden 2012 - Romney/Ryan 1040
I saw Romney speak in person at a rally at the Portland Yacht Center during the Republican primaries. At that time, he wanted to cut student loans for the middle class ( tuition is too high because people are able to borrow money to pay it, he said.) He suggested kids borrow money from their parents to start their own businesses, instead of getting an educated. (Dog walking? Coffee cart? Housecleanning?)
Thanks for the info Amy; i'm sure it will swing the election to Obama in California.
You sure get a lot of milage out of that Romney tour stop Amy.
HEre's a thought for making college more affordable that nobody talks about:
LOWER TUITION!
Tell me Amy, why is tuition so high?
So tell me Amy, based on your comment on the other thread, why is your so-called compassion conditional on your party being in power?
WCA
I took advantage of the opportunity to see Romney in person, back when he was running as a right winger, and I gotta say, I don't recognize the guy on TV now.
The old Romney said he would cut taxes for the wealthiest, eliminate the mortgage deduction, and generally unfetter the free market to go back to business as usual. The new Romney claims he would keep the parts of Obamcares people like, as if he never said he'd repeal the whole thing.
But, basically, when I saw Romney I realized I just didn't like him. That part really hasn't changed,
Amy, at least try to be honest. You didn't like Romney, BEFORE, you went to see him and nothing he could say or do would have changed your mind.
Now you use that appearance as a way of trying to come off as "Open-Minded".
I read your posts the day after your "visit" with Romney Amy. You may fool your Lib friends, here but you can't fool me.
I have watched with some sadness your path to the far left of your party. You have fallen for the Feisty nonsense of the world hook line and sinker. I thought, when I first started reading your a year or so ago, you were better than that.
I am sorry that I was wrong.
WCA, and the idea that Amy didn't like Romney before is different from your obvious dislike of President Obama exactly how? Pssst, WCA, Amy has ALWAYS been a liberal poster on FR so your faux disappointment is, in the words of Newt, "pious baloney".
I guess the feeling is mutual WCA, because I used to enjoy your posts back when you were original and funny, but now you've joined the zombie-Republican crowd, out to eat Obama's brains, and I no longer care what you think.

**************************************************************
I didnt have an opinion until I did MY OWN reaserch and found out Romney has LITERALLY flip flopped on EVERY SINGLE ISSUE OR STANCE he has ever had....
Now lets talk Obama...
I can also say that Obama has flip flopped on issues, BUT NOT HIS CORE STANCES..
He has indeed made promises he did not keep when he first ran, but IMHO there are reasons for that..
THE BIGGEST reason is the GOP obstruction, and PLEASE do NOT insult my intelligence by saying there hasnt been OBSTUCTION FROM DAY ONE
Mitch McConnell:
"OUR NUMBER ONE POLITICAL PRIORITY IS TO DENY PRESIDENT OBAMA A SECOND TERM"
Not MY words, Mitch McConnell's words
RECORD number of filibusters
HELL the GOP even blocked the jobs bill for returning Vets......
THE NEXT reason Obama hasnt kept some of his promises were born of simple ignorance..
Once in office he learned that some things he just couldnt do, like closing Guantanamo, ALTHOUGH the population in ther has gone down OVER 30%.....
Frankly I think I would have voted for Huntsman had he been the GOP Nominee, not because he was the BEST candidate, but because he isnt the looney fringe/now norm of the GOP..
He also has as Paul Mooney says, "The complexion for the protection"
Deny it all you want, but Obama being black, made this country go out of its mind, even more than usual.
I am a realist if nothing else, and I can admit it unlike the people that did go out of their minds, more than usual, and not being a nutcase, not being black, at least the GOP would not have obstructed Huntsman and he might have done ok.
That being said, Romney IS a LIAR, and will NOT be good for this country...
At this very moment I am trying to learn if I can move to Canada if Romney wins, that is how scared I AM of what Romney will do to us....
Only joe from albany would think either of those posts are worth editing?

Michael, that wasn't very nice comparing the walking dead to people who vote for Romney/Ryan. They arn't that brain dead!
I can't help it, people who vote for Romney/Ryan are brain dead. So if you don't like what I have to say, go argue with youself! I am still voting for Obama/Biden 2012. Take that!!!
I love Biden; he gave Romney the election by virtue of his crazy VP debate performance. BTW only a crazy person would think Biden did a good job on that debate.
That all smiles Obama tactic didn't work .
I must be crazy then - because we all know that Biden did when the debate. He was smiling so much to keep himself from reaching over and smacking that little kid upside his head and trying to knock some sense into it.
Honestly Ryan is way over his head and Lies just as much if not more than Romney.
Biden was smiling because he shat himself and filled his depends....then just sat in it and giggled....typical LIEberal Democrat.
Joe made a complete a$$ of himself in the VP debate .... the constant interruptions while Ryan was talking, the smirking, making faces .... all helped swing part of the women's vote to the Republican ticket ! LOL !!
In Republicanland if you point out the constant stream of lies coming out of your opponent's mouth, it's rude or "crazy" and means you lose.
My word! How dare you interrupt my lying?? How rude!
Remember last week, Ryan said he was a football expert, but couldn't even figure out who the starting QB of the Browns is. A moment that even All Pro Joe Thomas (from Brookfield, Wisconsin) was seen laughing and shaking his head at.
Today, Ryan slipped up again having to pause for several seconds in Iowa before he could remember the Cornhuskers.
In less than 7 days, Ryan has now angered Ohio, Wisconsin, Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa, and Nebraska by acting like he knows football when it's obvious he's a politician trying to lie his way into power.
Oh, I missed that one--the Iowa Cornhuskers! Who knew? Next thing, he'll be calling Iowa the Buckeye state.
But Ryan has not been to ALL 57 states like Obama has claimed ! Will Joe Biden be visiting all 57 states as well or will he simply be repeating his references to our troops in Iran ?? Surely, you libs know we have troops in Iran .... just ask JOE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved it when the black man stood up and questioned Obama on why he was not better off today than when Obama took office ! The deer-in-the-headlights lookfrom Obama was PRICELESS !
No, just a firmer grasp on reality than the odd collection of liars, birthers, and flat-earthers who make up the Republican party.
Obama's having no luck at all slowing down Romney's momentum .
Mittmentum I believe is what the press is calling it.
That's Mittmazing .
I call the press "depressing" their schtick really is getting old....they fawn over Oblumbo and try to eviserate everyone else....and oddly the stupid effing LIEberal drones don't see it as one sided.....Liberalism is a mental dissorder.
Yeas, Mitt is charging right down the middle of the road now. I wonder how all the Tea Partyers and such like being abandoned at the last minute. Just shows Mittwit will lie to everybody to get what he wants. He is an equal opportunity liar. Just shows that Newt and Rick and Michelle were right about him in the first place. At least they all seemed sincere in their beliefs.
why isn't anyone asking why romney has not shown his tax returns? this is more important than big birds impending layoff. this is curious to me. this is really bad and it is being ignored
He's guilty of tax evasion or voter fraud!
And, my bet is voter fraud!
Hey! Just think, the Right would be giving us another criminal, first Bush and Cheney, and now Romney!
He did....2 years worth...that's all you need...Take a rest while I drag out that dead horse so you can beat it some more.
Not even Obama gives a snap about his tax returns......Your guy is going down...get used to it....
People died....Obama lied!!
same policies as bush cheny = same results ryan/romney...
Vote Obama/Biden 2012
It is not all we need .. we NEED the remaining years.
Romney frauds - the GOPTP laud.
It seems like more and more people are now realizing that Mitt Romney has based his entire campaign on false information. It does not take that much research to find out that his entire "political" career has been based on misleading and flip-flopping positions. American people cannot have a President that is known to be a liar. Particularly when it comes to such important issues as women's rights (Lily Ledbetter Act, which he opposes) or equal rights (he opposes gay people having the same hospital visitation rights as straight people, for example) or even on an economic level; he would increase, by trillions of dollars the military, which they have not asked for, at a time when all Americans agree we should be moving OUT of Iraq and OUT of Afghanistan. So many lives have been lost. We are only just now finally beginning to come out of one of the most difficult times in our countries history and he wants to increase spending for war? And to top it off, Mitt Romney has the highest, domestic and international disapproval ratings of any president-hopeful in the history of the world. Higher than Bush. That is not American. That is not right. We should be proud to be American. We should be proud of our country. We are worth more than that.
Republicans-- home grown economic terrorists.
Another Obama type scare tactic .
Grow up .
They are America's version of the Taliban!
ONTOR - As they say if you don't have a record to run on you use scare tacics and make your opponent evil. Romney/Ryan 2012. Correct the mistake of 2008.
Oh, we can call Americans terrorists but the word terrorist has a hard time coming out of our President and his Administration. LUMP- I do not know what two words to add after lump for you.
Let me spell out a couple things for you.
Carried interest pay for hedge fund and private equity executives is earned income-- duh! How can Republicans argue it isn't?!?!?
Just as there are diminishing returns for government intervention in spending to get the economy going, there is diminishing returns for tax cuts (particularly for the wealthy). Lowering rates further will balloon the deficit worse and not stimulate the economy. You do know that 2009's deficit was the worst of the last 4 years don't you? That was Bush's final years budget. The annual budget deficit has been slowly going down each year since Obama has been in office. That's a fact. More needs to be done, but another tax cut is about the stupidest way to balance a budget.
Tell me, how is my upper middle class income going to work under Romney with his say, $25,000 limit on deductions? My mortgage interest deduction is about $20,000 per year, my employer contribution to healthcare is about $5,000. So I don't get to deduct my personal exemption amount, my charitable donations, my childcare expenses, etc. Thanks Gov. Romney, you enjoy your lower interest income, capital gains income reduction, while you screw me and my hard working middle income family! That's what I mean by Republican's are economic terrorists.
If you vote for Romney, you are either extremely wealthy, or an extreme idiot!
Ohio remembers its war heroes not those defeated.
Who is the more qualified president? Who do you trust on Foreign Policies?
Whose resume looks better?
From the list of ten areas that will affect the next president 6 out of 10 or 60% relate to crisis in the Middle East.
60% of the problems President Obama's has experience in dealing with. Those problems are numbers 1-3 and 5-7.
Romney does not have any experience with any of these types of situations. Romney does however, like his father have experience in running away from military conflict which can be proven by merely looking at Romney's actions during the Vietnam War in which he fled to France and hid behind religion in order to not have to fight or serve his country. Whats worse than not serving when called upon to fight for your country is leaving your country to avoid the service altogher. Such an act should be branded treasonous.
Romney has added to the stack of the Romney name being consistent with avoiding a combat situation. Romney's father also made excuses such as being brainwashed by the U.S. government during World War II and avoided serving in any aspect in that war.
President Obama on the other hand has a family tradition of being tough fighters and patriot Americans who serve their country.
John Punch - related to Obama. First documented African slave in the American British Colonies. Informatiom can be backed up by Ancestry.com.
Robert Wolfley Great Grandfather x3 to Obama - served as a private in Company A 145th Ohio Infantry during the Civil War. This makes Obama a Yankee and why he is hated by those of the CSA and like minded Americans.
Ralph Dunham - Great Uncle to Obama, Served during WWII as an assignment and personnel officer. Landed at Normandy on D+4 and later made his way inland through France, Italy and Germany.
Charles Thomas Payne - Great Uncle to Obama, Served during WWII with the 89th Infantry Division. Took part in liberating the Ohrdruf Forced Labor Camps. Major he is Major Payne, maybe he isn't.
Stanley Armour Dunham - Grandfather to Obama, Served in the Army during WWII as a sergeant. Stanley enlisted shortly after the attacks on Pearl Habor.
On a side note Stanley is also related to six American presidents thos being, James Madison, Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Bush family. Those of the Tea Party wanting a return to an all white America have now been shown that the Founding Fathers were not as white as you want them to be.
The Tea Party and their supporters are not really who they say they are. They are merely actos taking various personalities that they see on t.v. and acting in such a manner to make those around them think that their party has the same tradition of serving when in fact they do not have such traditions.
President Obama is the right man to keep as the President of the United States because his family tradition of strong American values of doing what is right when called upon.
Romney however only has a tradition of running away and avoiding such values when called upon.
With 60% of the problems facing the next president would you rather have a president like Obama who has the nuts to do what he says he will do or someone like Romney who has aa family tradition of running away when a fight occurs?
The only type of people who hate Obama are those who are cowards theirself...have lost against Obama's family line and only make believe that their fallen empires can be reborn.
Once defeated...always defeated and never rising again.
Obama or Romney?
If Romney is elected then any and all attacks on America and the increase of death in the Middle East will be blamed on the Romney.....but more importantly those who support him and vote for him.
Then you must blame Obama for the death's of American's as a result of his handling of the Libya situation...right? That's only fair...can't have it one way and not the other.
E. Deboo - then you must blame Bush for the deaths of everyone on 9/11/2001 since he chose to ignore the CIA warnings we would be attacked by our own aircraft. "Can't have it one way and not the other."
Obama/Biden 2012
Idiot....Prior to 9/11/2001 NY did NOT ask for more protection. The Libyan ambassador had asked many times for more support but was turned down...there's quite a difference there. And then your fearless leader covered it up for more than 2 weeks....
People died and Obama lied!
E. Deboo -
Yes - the Commander in Chief is responsible for all diplomats and military personnel, their deaths I am sure weigh heavy on his heart.
Just like Presidenet Bush was responsible for the deaths of over 4000 military personnel for sending them into harms way. Also close to 3,000 Americans that were killed on 9/11.
Your point?????
wb52 - Hey idiot!!! Bush and his Administration was warned multiple times up to the day of the attack that Terrorist were going to attack us and he did nothing!!! That is a fact that has been well documented!!! Please go back and read your history!!!!! So, yes he can be blamed for the 3,000 killed on 9/11 plus over 4,000 killed in both wars and not to mention the 10's of thousands that were wounded, not to mention all the innocent Iraqi's that were killed during his Shock and Awe campaign.
wb52 - NY did not ask for more protection because Bush did not let the treat to the country be announced - not to any city or to the airlines which were directly involved and the CIA had said would be used.
Obama did not lie!
Obama/Biden 2012
So Obama is responsible for all the dead soldiers at Fort Hood ?
The threat to New York, the Pentagon and potentially the White House was never specific so the total foundation for your very weak argument is but a House of Cards ... a mild breeze could knock it over !
SeekingInsanity - Estoy sorprendido de la tremenda cantidad de porqueria que tu hablas. Just in case the same goes for you, RedDevsPS, and layton. Yes, count this as an insult for all those that you have insulted.
Let the best man win tonight. We know who that is.
Romney/Ryan 2012. Correct the error made in 2008.
jim-1455434 - I don't believe ANYONE was warned about a potential threat at Ft. Hood. We realize logic is not your strong suit. You really need to try to keep up!
Obama/Biden 2012
The State Department asked for more money to increase protection for our embassies/consulates and the Republican Congress turned them down flat.
okie,

SS,
The FBI was too concerned about political correctness and did not launch an investigation into a man who was later charged with killing 13 people in the 2009 attack in Fort Hood, Texas, despite significant warning signs that he was an Islamic extremist bent on killing civilians, according to a lawmaker briefed on the new report.

SS,
There was warning about Fort Hood, and we will never know what desk it landed on.
There was a series of oversights and missteps the government made before the terror attack at Fort Hood. Later it came out that FBI anti-terrorism task forces saw emails between Nidal Hasan and al-Awlaki beginning in December 2008. Does anyone see a pattern here?
Oh and FYI the victims deserves the Purple Heart, shame on the President.
thetotas - shame on you for trying to make the deaths of these people political footballs. You truly will stoop into any gutter to place blame on Obama. As I said, if you didn't scream and yell about Bush and 9/11/2012 - keep your damned mouth shut!
Obama/Biden2012
SeekingSanity - Shame on you for trying to cover up for Obama. As you said it landed on the FBIs desk, the FBI comes under the Department of Justice and the DOJ comes under the Executive Branch. No one is trying to make the deaths of these soldiers at Ft Hood, TX a political football, the parents and next of kin has been asking for the same rights as soldiers killed/wounded in combat by enemy combatants. Obama won't even call this a TERRORIST ATTACK. Obama wants this to be a "work place" incident.
These soldiers were killed by a Muslim Terrorist and deserve the same benefits and medals that those on the battlefields of Afghanistan get.
Dan- thank you! Busy day and I don't see Concern's posts - have her on ignore.
Obama/Biden 2012
SS,
Enough with your fake outrage, you look foolish and I know all the new talking points, so please spare me.
I hold President Obama responsible for his decision to call what happen at Fort Hood "workplace violence", when everyone knows this was a act of terrorism. The President is robbing the families what is rightfully theirs.
Nidal Hasan came running in yelling "Allahu Akbar!". Thirteen dead and thirty two wounded.
And all you can say to me is keep your damned mouth shut! How brave of you.

BUT WE KNOW WHAT DESK THE WARNING ABOUT 09/11/01 LANDED ON
Mark Cuban came out in support of President Obama this weekend. I was surprised as I thought the businessman in Cuban would be smitten with Romney. To the contrary, Cuban was very matter of fact in pointing out that Romney falls short in being able to support his economic plans with any specifics or details. The businessman in Cuban saw that as not very businesslike of Romney and certainly falling short of providing any confidence in Romney's plan to deal with our current economic situation. Cuban pointed to President Obama as being more of a sure thing, a known entity, with regards to his economic plans, which are working despite the lousy hand the President has been dealt.
As a businessman, Cuban thought Romney was the much riskier choice for a fragile economy, almost scary in his lack of specifics or details regarding his economic plans. What kind of businessman shows up to sell you on his ability to lead this country and the free world without any specifics or details in his sales pitch, and with a history of being for and against everything he has stood for?
Mark Cuban is a good businessman. Mitt Romney is not.
JustSlapMe ....
I love it when Mark Cuban in on Bill Maher. That guy cetainly tells it like it is and as you pointed out above, he's a great businessman.

Excellent Column.
Talk about a messiah complex.
The Governor has given NO details about his plans to distroy America.
And yet, the Tea Party Kool-aid drinking lemmings think the Governor cares about them.
Should the Governor win, Tea Partiers will be shocked when the Governor's policies plunge this Great Nation into a massive depression, and they are standing in the soup line side-by-side with Democrats and Independents wondering what happened.
If you like Fascism, then Vote Governor Romney!

So I was looking through RCP and saw an Ohio poll from Suffolk University that showed the race as a statistical tie. Since Suffolk is generally reputable, I was prepared to say that the race there might be heating up.
Until I looked through the bones of the poll and saw this:
"
Q1. Do you consider yourself to be a Democrat, Republican, or Independent?
N= 600 100%
Democrat ..................................... 1 232 39%
Republican ..................................... 2 209 35%
Unenrolled/Independent ......................... 3 159 27%"
That is approximately 11% higher than the national average of polls for voter identification.
Sshh, don't get anyone started on the "the polls are skewed" theme.
When it starts looking like one person or the other is starting to pull away, change the polling to give the loser some advantage. That way, its still a race. More viewers/readers advertising $$$$.
dirp-
Exactly.
Governor Romney is losing badly.
Karl Rove and Frank Luntz bombarded the conservative media liars with the "polls are cooked" talking point and "voila", all of a sudden the polls say its close.
Tea Party Bloggers are going to have a rough time on November 7th when their Supply-Side Messiah gets beat in an electoral landslide.

Hey America! Are you following along on how the GOP/RNC "Outsourcer and Chief" is now 'remaking' Freeport Illinous? He is turning an American Town into a Ghost Town, and Sensata Workers are training Chinese Nationals on US Soil. Hey Ohio! Talk to your fellow citizens in Freeport Illinois! See if their enjoying the GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief's." 'Remaking' of their Technology Plant, their community, and their ability to make a 'living wage.'
I wouldn't be surprised to hear something about outsourcing and how it relates to foreign policy this evening.
It would be nice to see Sensata at lease mentioned by either candidate tonight.
Maybe they can even mention the GM jobs that went to China.
Slow Joe is the most honest Dem they have, Just ask him he will accidentally tell you the phucking truth...LOL
Romney doesn't want the voters to know just how much money he has made shipping our jobs to China is a main reason he won't show us his taxes.
He is even doing it during the election. Bain is still moving jobs today to China and Romnesia still makes money from Bain. It is all in the hidden tax returns.
Romnesia is going to create 12 million new jobs in China. The only country the republicans really care about. If they didn't put China as #1 then why didn't the republicans vote to get rid of the tax cuts that pay for corporations moving our jobs overseas?
If the republicans care so much about America, tell me again what was the reason republicans voted against jobs for our returning veterans?
Before you believe any republican talking point, don't you think you should check out what they really are doing instead of the lies they are telling you.
VOTE FOR WOMEN'S FREEDOM...VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012
"Romney's lurch toward the center on some issues and refusal to answer specifics on others."
The only thing new about this is that Biden is taking aim. About damned time.

Lyin' bammy gonna get his head handed to him tonite...IF hes was soooooooooooo great he'd be mopping the floor with the President-to-be. All but the most hard-headed, sycophantic, desperate for welfare libs realize this.
The fact that it IS this close points to a Romney win.

Flip…Mitt Romney said…The Middle East will "remain an unsolved problem... and we will kick that ball down the field". He dismissed Israel's concerns about Iran as mere "noise" that he prefers to "block out." And at a time when Israel needs America to stand with it, he declined to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Flop…At the Fox News Google debate in September of 2011, Governor Romney was asked how he would address the middle east given the new realities in the region. He answered that the first action should be to ensure that everyone knows that the US will stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel and not let any light be shown between the two of you.
Flip…Mitt Romney said…"There are 47% who are with him(Obama)” (lower income families, elderly, veterans, disabled Americans) who are dependent upon government,” Mr Romney said in the video that his role "is not to worry about those people”.
Flop…“It’s not those at the low end and it’s certainly not for those at the very high end. It’s for the great middle class, the 80 to 90 percent of us in this country.”
Flip…”I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country, and you will never see me wavering on that”.
Flop…"I believe people understand that I'm firmly pro-life.
Flipity-Flop…“When I am asked if I am pro-choice or pro-life, I say I refuse to accept either label.
Flip/Flop/Flip…On stem cell research…‘Look, you don’t have to think about this stem cell research as a moral issue, because we kill the embryos after 14 days.’
Flip…Mitt Romney said…“The middle class should not be expecting a cut in taxes because I'm also going to lower deductions and exemptions,”
Flop…“My own view with regards to tax policy is that we ought to provide help to the people that have been hurt most by the Obama economy, and that’s the middle class.”
Flip…Mitt Romney said… Millionaire Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Wednesday that he was seeking better tax policies for people in the middle class like himself.
Fact…The former Massachusetts governor has a net worth estimated at 250 million dollars.
Flip…“I think I’m best off to describe my own positions. And my positions, I think I’ve just described for you – secure the border, employment verification and no special pathway to citizenship.”
Flop…Mitt Romney said illegal immigrants should have a chance to obtain citizenship.”
Flipity Flop…Mitt actually employed a contractor, of whom had 5 illegal immigrants working at his site, on his own ranch.
Flip…Gov. Mitt Romney (R) signed a bill Wednesday (4-12-06) requiring all Massachusetts residents to purchase health insurance.
Flop…He’s now a critic of his own biggest achievement.
Worth Repeating…
Flip…Mitt Romney said… Millionaire Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Wednesday that he was seeking better tax policies for people in the middle class like himself.
Fact…The former Massachusetts governor has a net worth estimated at 250 million dollars.
Mitt’s last words before killing of Osama Bin Laden…”It’s not worth moving heaven and earth just trying to catch one man.”
Mitt’s first words after killing of Osama Bin Laden…”Of course I would have given that order, even Jimmy Carter would’ve given that order.”
Obama's amateur, fumbling attempts at foreign policy have been an embarrassment to himself and to the US.
First, he publicly and loudly affirmed his support for a Palestinian state. This had the predictable effect of encouraging the Palestinians to seek their own separate state. Then, he had to order his Ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, to veto any UN resolution that might actually create a Palestinian state, in order to salvage the Jewish vote.
Most presidents (not all) have had sense enough to be consistent in the messages they send to the international community. Flip-flops, like Obama's, only create an atmosphere of uncertainty and distrust. Obama's blundering could well be an important factor in the Middle East violence we see today.
We desperately need Mitt Romney, who has the intelligence and maturity to forge a foreign policy consistent with well-thought-out national policy and objectives. Obama's foreign policy is thrown together on the spur of the moment, and based on nothing more than random political pressures.

TOO BAD you know NOTHING of that region other than the headlines that they WANT to to know...
I know LOTS of people that go to that region, both Palistinian and Jewish and they know whats the REAL story...
Rockets dont rain down, suicide belted people arent running around all over the place, people are living and going about their business just like everyday people all over the world...
OH yeah, theres the occasional "flare up" or fighting, that is after all the history of that region, but for the most part it is just a normal society living together peacefully, and thats the way they like it...
The only one perpetuating that story is the governments on both sides with their hands out taking that money..So every so often a "story" comes out of some sort of conflict that has that cash register opening from the gullible Americans that dont know any better...It is actually a JOKE over there when its mentioned..A bunch of "wink winks" and such......
DO YOU actually think that Israel NEEDS our money?

To all of the Christians that read these threads!
Have you ever heard the saying “Strange Bedfellows?” What it basically means is, that two opposing groups have joined forces, and become allies. And, this is exactly what has happened in the GOP. You have unsuspecting Christians joining forces with Ayn Rand Worshipers (Atheist), and this is what would be considered as “Strange Bedfellows!” I do not mean to offend Atheist in anyway, because I believe the vast majority are not Rand Worshipers, which I feel are giving Atheists a bad name. And, just to let you know, I’m an Agnostic.
Do you even realize that the GOP has been taken over by a bunch of Ayn Rand worshiping sociopaths? And, their philosophy is Objectivism, where selfishness is considered a virtue, and declares god-fearing Christians to be incompatible with reason! Which means, Christians, being true believers in God, are incapable of any logical reasoning! In other words, you are nothing but pawns, and are being used to bring about your own demise! If that alone is not enough to open your eyes, then I guess there’s no hope for this country.
They also believe that there are only two kinds of people in the world, creators and parasites! Whereas the creators are made up of businesses, corporations, entrepreneurs, investors, and anyone that meet their criteria of not being parasites. The parasites are anyone who fails to meet the criteria I just mentioned.
These people have turned lying into an art form, and use manipulation as readily as breathing air. They use wedge issues such as abortion, healthcare, and anything that can distract you from important issues that will cause you to vote against your very own better interests!
These people are self idolizing sociopaths, and have done everything humanly possible to sabotage our economy, because they have become so entrenched in Ayn Rand’s ideology, and want to bring about nothing more than what Ayn Rand envisioned, a laissez-faire type of capitalism.
These people are trying their best to destroy a system that brought about the great society that the rest of the world revered and has ever known! And, contrary to these self idolizing sociopaths beliefs, no man is an island unto themselves! They have tried to demonize socialism, but contrary to their beliefs socialism is what built this country and brought about its greatness. Its citizens working together for the common good of all, and just not for the supposed creators! This country did not attain its greatness through self idolizing psychopathic loners. Where their only goal is to create a country of what they consider creators and parasites!
Wake Up Christians, before it really is too late!
Because, if Romney does somehow get elected, you Christians will soon find out that you are nothing but the despicable Parasites that the creators so despise!
Obama/Biden in Nov, because all of your and my offspring deserve better than what the Ayn Rand Worshiping GOP has to offer!

It was the conservative media that created the faux impression Democrats think the President is a savior.

I believe it is already stated in our constitution that the government can't tell a woman what to do with her body. And no political party can. Democrat policies are about inclusion, not exclusion.

RomneyWillSinkUs First of all, have you even bothered to read any of Ayn Rand's books? Her philosophy has nothing to do with religion, but with the economic and political systems that exert control over the entire population. The fact that she was personally an atheist has nothing to do with the central theme of her writings. I see great parallels to her books and the current administration that wants to "redistribute the wealth of America" to all the people that are currently sucking at the governments teat. SS and Medicare recipients are not included in these numbers, as these programs were initially designed as insurance programs whose payout was based on the contributions made during the working time. Medicare continues to charge premiums from those receiving benefits.
As to Biden, the village idiot continues to prove his status every time that he speaks. And his braying performance during the debate with Ryan leads me to believe that he is the original "Irish donkey."
Ayn Rand would have been a darling in Nazi Germany. She would have personally sterilized some of the genetically defective with a smile on her face. She would have donned a brown shirt and accompanied the thugs to the beer halls to bang open the heads of the Marxists with a liter stein.
I am pretty certain that President Obama will win re election. That said, maybe what this country needs is a kick in the pants wake up call. Put the republicans in control of the white house and both houses of congress. After 4 yrs of that, there will never be a republican majority in either house ever again. There will be two classes in this country the rich and the rest of us. The environment will know what a legitimate rape, a forcible rape is like as deregulation turn pristine lands into sewers and eyesores. And because oil and coal will be at the top of the heap, federal investment in alternative energy will dry up, save for those special interests that thrive due to republican greed. You reap what you sow. And the amount of social reforms will be staggering. Say good bye to the good and essential work done by planned parenthood, say farewell to the educational aspects of public broadcasting. Say so long to one of the few successful federal programs for education, Head Start. The religious zealots will be having a field day if the republicans take over. Fear mongering? Maybe a bit, but im not far from the mark.
Sadly, Obama might still win this election. We should at least consider the consequences of that so we will not be surprised.
Last month the Obama administration started its third round of printing fiat money (currency that a government has declared to be legal tender, despite the fact that it has no intrinsic value and is not backed by reserves). $600 billion is the current estimate. That's almost $2,000 apiece for every man, woman, and child in the country!
In the past, when governments have printed fiat money to cover their own expenses, there has been a short-term economic bump, which is what we are seeing now, but then inflation is always the ultimate result. To us, personally, that means that, if Obama is reelected, the buying power of our savings and income will be severely reduced within about 18 months. Think about what you will need to do in order to survive inflation it will happen.

You're one of those gold standard fanatics aren't you? God bless you, you are a Ron Paul acolyte. I'm sorry to inform you that you will not be able "to crucify this country on a cross of gold."

And our inflation rate is very low and our currency is trading very well in international markets. For most of us here in the 21st Century, that's what we worry about when it comes to the soundness of the dollar.
