RENO, NV -- Mitt Romney returned to Nevada for the second straight day on Wednesday, hoping to boost support in this critical Western battleground by personalizing his message to different slices of Silver State voters.
Romney again claimed his three debates versus President Barack Obama, the last of which was on Monday in Florida, claiming the post-debate momentum and seizing the mantle of being the candidate of "change."
Campaigning in Reno, Gov. Mitt Romney tells an enthusiastic crowd that he will help Nevadans by creating jobs and help the state crawl out of its housing crisis. Watch the entire speech.
"We’ve had four debates and he hasn’t been able to describe what his plan is to get this economy going. He hasn’t been able to defend it to the American people," Romney said of his debates with President Obama, as well as the VP debate. "I know he’s got a lot of discussion he’s trying to talk to people about it but you know you can boil what he’s saying down to four simple words: And that is more of the same. And we don’t want more of the same. We can’t afford four more years like the last four years."
Romney has hammered at that message at each of three campaign stops since the final debate Monday night, looking to convince voters his campaign has momentum and that the president's cause is fizzling.

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan talk on the tarmac at the airport in Denver, Colorado before parting ways to campaign separately October 24, 2012.
"The Obama campaign is slipping and shrinking," Romney told the 2,000-plus supporters gathered here today. "The president can't seem to find an agenda to help America's families."
The GOP nominee, who has sometimes struggled to connect personally with voters, today amended his stump speech to touch on how his plan would be better for Americans in specific demographic groups, using the issue of debt and deficits to appeal for support from young women by describing how debts run up by the president could cost them a chance at the American dream.
"Let me tell you how else this might affect, might affect your family, how this choice that you’re making will make a difference in your family. You might have a daughter graduating from college this spring. And she’s gonna come out and she’s gonna probably have 10 or $20,000 in student loans to pay back, and she’s going to be paying the interest on that for a long, long time," Romney said.
GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney has been greeted by increasingly enthusiastic crowds even in the midst of the latest controversy to hit the campaign, a comment from Indiana Republican Sen. candidate Richard Mourdock. NBC's Peter Alexander reports.
"But in addition to those loans, there’s something else that she has, about $50,000 per person for America in debt," Romney said of a hypothetical young woman who graduated from college with student loan debt. "And so when she gets her first paycheck and she sees the deductions for taxes, some of those taxes are going to pay for that debt, and for things she didn’t get, for things that our generation took upon ourselves. And she’s going to be paying for that all of her life. And so the American dream she had been told about by you, her parents, that American dream is going to be out of reach."
In Nevada, the state with the nation's worst unemployment rate, currently stuck at 11.8 percent, Romney did not linger more than usual on his five-point jobs plan, but promised the steps would "get America's economy just cooking again."
To win Nevada's six electoral votes, Romney advisers say the GOP candidate must overperform here in Washoe county, which broke for Obama by 12 points in 2008 but is traditionally more of a swing county. A strong performance there would be necessary to counteract the union-backed Democratic machine in Clark County, home to Las Vegas, and the state's largest population center.
Voters like Steve Wren, 50, a pastor at a church in Reno and a self-described "pro-life Democrat," could be key to Romney's success here. Wren joined his wife, who is supporting Romney, at today's event and told NBC News before the event began that he was still unsure if he would vote for the GOP nominee this time around, after reluctantly breaking from his lifelong support for Democrats to vote for Sen. John McCain in 2008.
"I think he made it clear with what he said. I think its pretty obvious that, well, its obvious to me, that I don't really like where we're going and so we sort of have one choice," Wren said after the rally, adding that he would most likely be voting for Romney after being pleasantly surprised by how "genuine and real" Romney seemed in person.
"I heard a lot of the stuff that I've always heard, so maybe it was just being here and seeing him in person but there was just something that seemed really passionate and genuine, so I was touched by that," Wren said.

Mitt, President Obama started his career as a community organizer. He is all about pounding the streets, knocking on every single door, handing out literature that explains who he is and what he supports. What he has accomplished. He hands them out, he sends them in the mail.
He's been doing this the entire campaign. In the closing days of this campaign, he expanded it and it is now in the hands of millions of people more. It's a wonderful wonderful insight into why he should be re-elected.
But always, always, always - his campaigns began in the neighborhoods of America. Not on Fox News.
he started his career as an aggitator but seriously you think he was knocking on peoples doors. of course you do. You also believe he's the second coming. Its ironic how many of you FR hard lefties abhor religion yet have this cult like following of Obama. Liberals are the least tolerant human beings in the world. Where tolerance is only extended to those people that A) can bring gain to the liberal agenda (grievence groups) and B) share the similar thinking. Its the likes of Obama that further decline of America. You can disagree but tell you what, there has been no improvement over the last 4 years. You enjoy malaise and celebrate it as success, you tell me I have to except the new norm mediocracy. Tax and Spend to prosperity didnt work in the 30's, it doesnt work today. Keep chanting Yes We Can, because you can and will take us FORWARD off the proverbial cliff.
Poor Mitt feels the need to shake that Etch-a-Sketch yet again. Perhaps he should have gone with honesty all the way...then again, his tax returns would have shot him down in the first round....Oh Well.
If Mitt were actually any farther out of touch with Real Americans or even The Earth in general, he would HAVE to be on his own, private planet. He certainly seems to live there most of the time anyways!
You know, the idea that President Obama has not laid out his plans is a ridiculous whopper.
Romney does all kinds of whoppers, depending on what he wants, but that is truly just a whale of a farce of a WHOPPER.

Poor deluded ceasar. Nobody on the left abhors religion, only hypocrites like yourself that are among the least tolerant on any I've read on these postings.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012!
4 MORE4 44!
STILL WAITING ON TAX RETURNS, ROMNEY!
"Personalize" is the new word for pander?
Well, stated, Pat! And that's where all campaigns should start! Keeping it on the local level and growing to the National level!
Obama/Biden 2012
Amy B. Portland, ME
you really are low info arent you? I almost feel sorry for you. pander? Explain to me with your own thoughts (no help from Feisty or others) what Pander is and why Obama 'doesnt' do it.
I dont expect much from you Amy, you keep a picture of Obama on your desk. I think that is a bit stalkerish but hey im not a liberal so i wont judge. you seriously think Obama doesnt pander and I seriously think you are delusional but you make a perfect recruit for Obama congregation. Too sad.
go sell crazy elsewhere. I'll give you the cyber bully captain Feisty and Chris SLC and whole host of others that do.
Wasn't/Isn't that the job that Queen Ann was given, especially during her speech at the RNC.
What this "Mission Not Accomplished"?
Oh, and where oh where are those tax filings, Willard?
Which Mitt is campaigning today? The "Extremely conservative" one, or the "I wanna be like Barry" one?
Caesar - I'll ask you again. Which one of the two are you voting for?
O&Joe 2012
The difference is, President Obama doesn't personalize his message to voters, then say the opposite to another group.
Obama supports the Dream Act, whether he is speaking before Hispanics, or non-Hispanics. He supported repealing the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Act, and he signed the repeal. The President will tell an audience of 1% ers he will raise their taxes. He will tell an audience of Jewish voters he will sit down with Iran, and he tells Iran we will not allow them to get the bomb.
The President says what he means, and means what he says. You can argue with him, if you disagree, but Romney? How can you argue with a candidate who will say anything to anybody?
@Ceasar
"cult like following of Obama"
I plan to never follow the con man Joseph Smith's cult.
Visit the website:
People of Faith for Obama
its called FR member
the one that will be president his first term not the one that now wants to be president.
Patriot Act, Gitmo, Rendition, tax cuts. yeah he panders. nice try Amy
'Romney tries to personalize pitch in closing days of campaign'
What, did he fire someone? Or did he just ship some jobs overseas, just to make them feel at home?
the one that will be president his first term not the one that now wants to be president.
Caes -
I see. You want the "I'll throw a little @!$%# in both directions" Mitt.
Mitt, this is a personal election. Personally, if the best the GOP can put up is you then they are dead. No thanks, work hard but a long vacation is in your future.
As usual, another article that outlines how Romney is steam rolling the President in this debate, and it is swamped with the lefty spammers. Most of the spammers on this article have ruined all of their credibility as rational thinkers by
1) Responding to their own comments (Pigotry)
2) Putting almost everything they say in bold and all caps, as if that makes it more important
3) Quoting articles from liberal sites as though they're original thoughts (all of you), or just simply regurgitating something they hear from other people or website (i.e. a lack of original thinking)
4) using Stupid nick names for Romney and Ryan.
5) Saying LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, over and over again as though people care what you think
6) Posting 1,000 word comments as though this were an essay contest
7) ect....
Most people already know what you all are gonna say before they even read your posts. That's if they read them at all. Bbut keep up the good work, liberals don't need your help looking stupid but if you'd like to pitch in, go ahead.
Hello folks, do you Democrat Republican blame gamers know how absolutely ridiculous you sound. It is downright embarrassing to see what I assume are "grownups" spinning whatever news item that comes across the wire to fit your fundamentalist political religion.
It's not even a question of the truth for the Republican Democrat blame gamers but willful hypocrisy for your "democracy"! Our political system is a one headed two party system serving their masters, Wall Street and the Banksters/Federal Reserve. Both parties are the same with the exception of a few social issues.
If you would like to come back to earth from the Presidential Reality Show and truly want to improve our country your priorities and concerns will have to change from the ‘Apology Tour” and “Big Bird” rhetoric to the real problems that plague our society. I’m sure there are many smart people out there that can add to the enclosed list.
We allow a foreign entity (Federal Reserve, neither federal nor a reserve, a group of mostly European banksters) to control our currency! This system is why you, I, economies and nations are in debt and debt slaves! The Fed has just passed QE3 to infinity and subsidiaries of the Fed like the European ECB can print money, but how can they create wealth by letting bankers use it for speculation (derivatives market), greater consolidation, and big bonuses?
We let Wall Street run our government! Wall Street is Washington and Washington is Wall Street! We have a two headed one party system serving their masters Wall Street and the Federal Reserve!
Our presidential politicians in both parties are going to spend approximately 1 billion dollars each on their campaigns this year, yet we are laying off fire fighters, teachers and policemen. Two billion dollars on presidential campaigns, is that insane or what? Then, we allow the Super Pac’s with little regulation and full anonymity to influence our American elections through the sheer volume of money that has been used to mislead the public to elect a corporate candidate or pass a corporate sponsored bill!
Our congress is bought and paid for by lobbyists and are involved with insider trading, doing the bidding for those who put the most money in their pockets! They get rich while we the “freeloaders” get cuts to Medicare and Social Security all the while the congress receive a tax payer salary and health benefits for life for themselves and their family compliments of the “freeloaders”.
We've legalized Corporations (Citizen's United) as people! They can now buy any election they want to, from sheriff to president! They don't even have to be American corporations! Corporations have severed their moral contract with America. It used to be you worked hard and helped them gain success and you shared in their success through better wages and benefits, all you get now is a pink slip.
The BP Corporation will likely not be charged with any criminal malfeasance in the largest natural disaster in history. The oil leak continues to flow and there are reports Corexit is still being used without any oversight by the U.S. - Many scientists claim the gulf loop current has been broken and the gulf sea floor has been permanently cracked. If you want evidence of the leak just talk to the residents and oil spill workers living along the gulf from Texas to Florida.
We invade a different country every year! Killing and displacing millions of people and spending trillions of dollars to enrich the Oil, Banking, and Corporate cartels!
The Census Department of the American Federal Government recently reported that “50% of the nation’s population were living below the poverty line”.
50 million people can't go to a doctor because they don't have health care!
47 million people need food stamps just to feed themselves!
25 million people are unemployed or underemployed!
15 million people's mortgages are worth more than their homes!
Our national debt is 16 trillion dollars! We pay off our debt with more debt! That is like putting gas on the fire! They tell the U.S. citizens it is their fault because they don't live within their means! They fail to mention it has everything to do with corrupt business and political leaders and the Federal Reserve and their fractional reserve banking system! In the U.S. we are injecting 85 billion a month in the economy via QE3 (40 billion a month), Operation Twist (45 billion a month) and guess who is on the hook for this irresponsible fiscal monetary policy?
The international banking elite with tacit approval from Democrats and Republicans has given the world 1.4 Quadrillion in derivatives fraud, the HSBC drug laundering fraud, the MF Global fraud, the PFG fraud, the high frequency trading pilfering and stock market fraud, the manipulation of the precious metals and bond market fraud, the MERS mortgage fraud, nearly countless individual frauds from both Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, and the international 800 trillion LIBOR interest rate fixing banking fraud, just to name but a few recent FRAUDS and breaches of Bankster credibility and trustworthiness and who’s gone to jail? In blind obedience to the plutocrats we bail them out over and over and over again. You know their motto, privatize profits and socialize losses!
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac the flagships of our housing bubble that has burst! The housing market used to be what was fueling the middle class as manufacturing was being outsourced to foreign countries, it got over leveraged like our banks and stock markets and there is no resolution in site! The mortgage settlement just signed is just another small fine and in reality a bailout for the banks for what they are truly liable for.
They tell us social safety nets, Medicare and Social Security that you and I paid into is Socialism when the largest recipients of social welfare in the history of the world are our “Capitalist, Free Market” banking and financial institutions! Remember the bailouts? We keep bailing out the banks to the tune of tens of trillions and we're told it's because they are too big to fail and all the while we allow them to get bigger! We are witnessing the biggest bank robbery in history and the banks and financial institutions are doing the robbing!
Our media (presstitutes) are bought and paid for by corporations and treat us like mushrooms! Reuters and the Associated Press try to tell us what to believe and think, such as unemployment is at 8.3% and falling, freedom is slavery, Ignorance is strength, war is peace, they hate us for our freedom, the terrorists are out to get you, the economy is great, borrow and spend! etc…
Our constitution, our most sacred document as a country is meaningless!
We have lost most of our civil liberties through the passage of the Patriot Act, Foreign Investigation and Surveillance Act (FISA) and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and the new National Defense Resources Preparedness (NDRP)! They have authorized the use of spy drones in American skies! You can be surveilled by any number of Federal agencies, have your phone and computer tapped, bank, medical, and private records accessed! You can be arrested without gaining access to an attorney or a trial. We are molested at the airports or radiated for “security”. And just recently added National Defense Resources Preparedness (NDRP) which comes on the heels of NDAA. This Executive Order allows the government to take pretty much whatever it wants including crops, farm equipment, vehicles, boats, aircraft and fuel to “prepare” for the national defense. This includes making people work for free. You think I’m kidding about the free labor? Here’s a line straight from the EO that says, “. . . to employ persons of outstanding experience and ability without compensation. . .” This is authorized even in peace time!
NYPD’s aggressive street policing program, called “stop-and-frisk,” which predominantly targets low-income minority neighborhoods. In 2011, the program stopped and searched more than 900,000 New Yorkers, 85 percent of them black or Latino. This program is moving to a city near you!
We have created another cartel the “Prison Industrial Complex”! We have outsourced our incarceration of United States citizens which consists of over 6 million prisoners! This exceeds the number of prisoners held in the gulags of the former Soviet Union at any point in history! All objectivity of prison reform has flown out the window in exchange for profits! No prisoners no profits! In some state contracts the conditions of privatization require that states guarantee prisons remain at 90% occupancy! Are there prison lobbyists? You bet and loaded with cash compliments of you and me!
The Military Industrial Complex is King, our defense budget is larger than the rest of the world’s combined! We are the enforcement arm of all the world’s cartels! The policeman of the world! In our countries short history we have bombed over 65 different countries and been at war with the world for 216 of our 236 years! The outsourcing of our security to private military companies like XE (formerly Blackwater) is increasing dramatically!
The phony war on drugs! While our military protect the poppy fields in Afghanistan, the Opium supply produced in Afghanistan went from a modest 185 tons at the start of American intervention in 2001, to a robust 8,200 tons of opium, a remarkable 53 percent of the country’s GDP and 93 percent of global heroin supply; Wells Fargo has been caught laundering money for the Mexican drug cartel in the United States (look it up); The use of drugs in the health care industry is over a 100 billion dollar a year scam. There's no profit in the cure only in the treatment. You are not allowed to buy the same manufactured prescription drugs from other countries at a cheaper price because the drug lobby has had congress pass laws against it to protect their profits.
Fukushima, which still remains stricken over 18 months after the disaster despite the fact that it has disappeared from mainstream news coverage.
The spent fuel pool inside unit number 4 at Fukushima which stores the spent fuel rods is under dire threat of collapse. Scientists have predicted that there is a 98% chance the facility will be hit by a 7.0 magnitude or higher earthquake within the next three years, threatening a disaster that would be worse than three reactor meltdowns combined. We should be made aware of the progress of the cleanup and situation.
We let the elite divide us so that they can keep us in fear, distracted, and divided to the theft going on right in front of our eyes each and every second of the day! The theft of our civil liberties, money and property!
What is wrong with this picture and what does it say about us that we allow this to take place? We have lost our moral compass and our priorities as a country and need to get them back! It is time we concentrate on fixing America for awhile!
Trust/Verify. Exact same drool DELETED yesterday. Don't you learn from your mistakes?

Caesar,
I can only speak for myself but I do not "abhor" Christians. I only "abhor" the Christians that practice Vaticanism and not Christs teachings. For the record Vaticanism is essentially following the Bible as it is written instead of following the words of Jesus as he spoke them.
I also "abhor" those supremely intolerant of other people's religions, anyone that goes off at the mouth claiming Mormonism or Islam are cults etc. I also "abhor" those that have no clue about the historical back story of their religion insisting that Jesus was divine and that the Bible is God's words.
In short I only "abhor" the radicals of Christianity. All of the sane Christians who use birth control, that have abortions, that are Gay, or that have no problems with any of those and believe that their religion should not be used in our Government I have no problems with.
Know what I do not want more of: the phony unhonorable crap the republican party CONTINUALLY dishes out. TRULY, not an honorable bone in the lot. Top to bottom. COMPLETELY self polarized to stupid. Top to bottom. So freakin obvious on a daily basis this last 4 ENTIRE years. DAILY LOL. How ANYONE could vote for ANY republican is totaly beyond me.
We'll get a good guage on just how many idiots call themselves freedom loving citizens come this election. Win or lose.
Yes, Obama doesn't pander or flip flop...he evolves. Same sex marriage, anyone?
I hope Obama wins and the Dems get control of the House and keep control of the Senate. Then I hope they create a single payer system like Canada and Europe and shove it up every Republican's ass. But hey, if you don't want the single payer system, you're free to give your money to wall street and get private insurance!
mitt, you can only be personal when you finally remove your head from your ass.
Obama's failures are many.He had four years.
21 new taxes and fees under the ACA, Obamacare.
GDP, a enemic 1.3%, this quarter.
Median household income in the US, down by 8.4%, since, 2009.
Manufacturing in the US, down by 1.2%, this year.
2.3% fewer Americans working today, then when Obama, became President.
19.9% is the unemployment rate for female military veterans.
12.1 million Americans unemployed.
10.9% million Americans have given-up looking for work.
16% of all Black Americans, cannot find work.
9.9% of all Hispanic Americans, cannot find work.
Obama created 5.6 trillion in new debt, in just four years.
Obama creates 4 billion dollars in new debt each, and every day.
A gallon of gas has doubled, under Obama.
Obama reduced the amount of Federal permits, to license, drilling for crude, on Federal land, by 17%.
1 in 6 Americans live in poverty under Obama.
There are 3.6 million more Americans collecting SSDI, under Obama, they cannot find work.
Obama created backdoor amnesty for illegal aliens, violating US Immigration law.
Obama has not passed a US budget, in four years. Violating US law.
48 million Americans receive food stamps.
Obama has lied about the death, of Ambassador Stevens in Iraq. The cover-up continues.
Obama's forgein policy has failed, the Middle east is burning, right now.
Friendly Wager Anyone? http://mike-1499840mike-1499840.newsvine.com/_news/2012/10/24/14676091-election-day-wager
lol... meanwhile, Mittens' plan for the economy? Cancel PBS.
Obama is the one who panders. He told Hispanics in 2008 he would pass comprehensive Immigration reform in his first term. Did he do it, NO he did not. He could have the first two years, but he said Congress was too tired to work on immigration reform that term. Now he is running the same line again to Hispanics. He knows they will vote for him again, but again, unless he can find a way to work with BOTH houses, it ain't gonna happen. Unfortunately for the Hispanics, he will tell them anything to get their vote.
PBS should be privately funded the same as Planned Parenthood. Maybe then Planned Parenthood would do a real job of better educating young girls on contraception and not rely on abortions as a form of contraception.
Oh, so it's Planned Parenthood's role to educate people on contraception now? How many people do you know who "depend" on abortion as a form of contraception, Jersey?
I challenge any Obama supporter to explain to me how the President does not pander
September 24: "My biggest disappointment is that we haven't changed the tone in Washington as much as I would have liked." This is for the taping of 60 Minutes whose audience is older Americans
September 20 "Jorge, as you remind me, my biggest failure so far is we haven't gotten comprehensive immigration reform done yet," This was to Univision whose audience is Latin.
Pedestrian,
If we cannot find compromise of $400B for PBS then how are we ever going to find ways to cut spending. Everybody wants to keep their programs, but as Americans we are going to have to say we do not need the government to pay for everything and let the people who use it pay. This is needed if you want the country to survive.
Jerry, personally I'm not opposed to cutting funding for programs like PBS. However, when a candidate is asked what his plan is and THAT is the one thing he can identify, it sets off warning bells for me. Especially in light of the fact that he's supported and endorsed the ideologically radical policies of his running mate, and that he's surrounded himself with former Bush appointees. Despite what the GOP would have you believe, spending has been cut. However, cutting off money to programs that protect the poor, the sick and those with no safety net would send us spiraling back into recession. You have seen what is happening in Europe - surely you must understand that it's a result of austerity measures enforced during times of economic fragility.
One more thing - you know there's a difference between disappoint and failure, right? Comprehensive immigration reform might have become a reality if the tone in Washington had been malleable.
That's the word from Bill Keller, host of the
Florida-based Live Prayer TV program as well as LivePrayer.com.
"If you vote for Mitt Romney, you are voting
for Satan!" he writes in his daily devotional.
Keller also comes out swinging against the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints as a cult.
"This message today is not about Mitt Romney,"
he writes. "Romney is an unashamed and proud member of the Mormon cult founded
by a murdering polygamist pedophile named Joseph Smith nearly 200 years ago. The
teachings of the Mormon cult are doctrinally and theologically in complete
opposition to the Absolute Truth of God's Word. There is no common ground. If
Mormonism is true, then the Christian faith is a complete lie. There has never
been any question from the moment Smith's cult began that it was a work of Satan
and those who follow their false teachings will die and spend eternity in hell."
Keller is also critical of other evangelicals
who have reached out to Romney.
"I have watched in horror over the past weeks
as one evangelical Christian leader after another has either endorsed,
supported, or just as bad, refused to denounce Romney's run for the White House
and those Christian leaders who support him," Keller writes. "Last weekend Pat
Robertson, founder of CBN and Regent University, had Romney deliver the keynote
address to the graduates of Regent. Regent is one of the great Christian
colleges in this nation, and Robertson allowed this cult member to deliver the
commencement address. Is he out of his mind? Do you think there would ever be a
true Gospel preacher giving the commencement address at Brigham Young?"
Keller warned about Mormonism:
"I have been warning you for years now about
this cult born out of the pits of hell and responsible for sending millions of
souls to eternal damnation," Keller says. "For the nearly 200 years this cult
has been in existence they have strived for mainstream acceptance. They are the
most devious of all the cults since they have always tried to portray themselves
as 'just another Christian group' when in fact, they are no more Christian than
a Muslim is! Their deception starts with their name, the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints. Sounds like a Christian church doesn't it? Some Mormons
have recently changed their name to simply Community of Christ to disguise even
better who they are in an attempt to lure people in."
Keller says that when LDS members talk of God
and Jesus they are not talking about the God and Jesus of Christianity. He
claims Romney's high-profile candidacy for the presidency is an important effort
by the church to gain credibility and respectability.
He says if Romney wins the White House,
millions of people will be attracted to Mormonism.
"Those who follow the false teachings of this
cult, believe in the false jesus of the Mormon cult and reject faith in the one
true Jesus of the Bible, will die and spend eternity in hell," Keller charges.
"Romney getting elected president will ultimately lead millions of souls to the
eternal flames of hell!"
Keller also criticizes Romney for political
flip-flops on issues like abortion, citing a recent report that his wife donated
money to Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the world.
There is no excuse, no justification for
supporting and voting for a man who will be used by satan to lead the souls of
millions into the eternal flames of hell!"
Pedestrian,
Spending has only been cut because we finished the war in Iraq (which by the way, was a treaty signed by Bush in Nov. 2008) and the stimulus ended. If you remove those items spending has increased. You can not have 17 million more people on food stamps or 4 million more on disability, plus increase defense spending, pay more interest and not have spending increase.
I also have not heard of any candidate talk about getting rid of the safety net and do not think any responsible American regardless of party would want to see people starving or not getting proper health care.
On your comment about austerity look at Germany, which did put in a program of austerity over the objections of the U.S. and is carrying all of Europe.
"The Obama campaign is slipping and shrinking," Romney told the 2,000-plus supporters gathered here today.
How many did he have to bus in to fill the seats? We know Mitt won't come on stage unless it looks like he has support.
"Let me tell you how else this might affect, might affect your family, how this choice that you’re making will make a difference in your family. You might have a daughter graduating from college this spring."
Let ME tell you how this might affect your daughter. She might get raped, and Mitt, Paul Ryan and Mourdork will say, "Tough luck! You're having this baby!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXEoQJ7ZMZs
It's a miracle- Obama
Mitt doesn't want more of the same. He is so used to getting just a mere 25million a year in unearned profits and now he is for change. With a little deregulation, he would be able to bring home his hundreds of millions sitting in foreign banks and all tax free. Retroactive even to help him and people like him not have to pay the billions they already owe but offset until they bring their foreign investments they made off selling businesses overseas.
Jerry-I also have not heard of any candidate talk about getting rid of the safety net and do not think any responsible American regardless of party would want to see people starving or not getting proper health care.
I agree no 'responsible American" would. But that's just want your boy Paul Ryan wants to do in his new speech.Basically he thinks the poor have it too good,so he wants to stop that:
“The welfare-reform mindset hasn’t been applied with equal vigor across the spectrum of anti-poverty programs,” he says. Thus he proposes enormous cuts — to children’s health-insurance grants, Head Start, food stamps, and, especially, Medicaid, which would have to throw about half its current beneficiaries off their coverage under his proposal."

Great post! Don't expect them to respond to your post because it is indisputable proof Romney is a car salesman and a liar. They will deftly avoid your post of clarity because what they really care about is not taxing the rich. It's called greed. They would vote for Hitler if it put a buck in their pocketbook.
A bunch of wacko republicans like Akins and Murdouch are in running for office and being supported by Myth and Lyin. Do we all need a myth and a lyin in the office
Mitt the Twit's previous position on student's and college loans was to ask your parents for the money, "see if you can't borrow that money from your parents."
What is his position today?
Mitts personalizes....?...!
Mitt #1 like his toast lightly browned.
Mitt#2 likes his toast burned.
Mitt #3 likes his toast medium brown.
Mitt #4 doesn't like toast at all.
And so so the day goes for Mitt, clashing and bumping into his other personalities all day long.
The good news for Ann, she is into role playing and this works out quite well for her!
Romney being rich proves that he is prudent with finances... something this country could really use right now! Obama promised change, and now after four entire years he is still shifting all the blame to Bush. Obama is a great speaker, but that just doesn't really matter when it comes to running a country. Look at all of his mentors and influences... they are all radicals and communists. If you vote for Obama you are simply another victim that has fallen for his sugar-coated bait. Sadly, racism is still very huge in America; and many people will vote Obama because of his skin color. Obama said in his auto-biography that theoretically he believes the government can tax 100% of our income as long as we're all still getting benefits." I'm sorry, but I don't want my children growing up in a communist country. We are no longer safe... we went from 1,500 nuclear missiles to 300 during his term. He keeps depleating our defense and making us vulnerable to the middle East (who hate USA). Meanwhile, no other countries are getting rid of theirs! VOTE for FREEDOM... VOTE ROMNEY!
John, head up his, Azz,
mind boggling that someone actually thinks the way that you do.
Why does Mitt complain about Obama adding to the deficit when mitt's "plan" adds at least another $4 trillion to it? Not only that, but he takes it another step further by telling us, "Of course the numbers work." Does he honestly think we are that stupid? Despite Paul Ryan himself saying "We'll work out those pesky tax plan specifics after we're elected." WAIT. Now I'm confused. Apparently Romney/Ryan have some superposition tax plan that can apparently alter time itself, somehow, OR they don't even have a tax plan.... at least a plan they don't want to actually tell us about anyways.
(wishIhadda)bigdogg464,
Facts are facts, my friend. Can you prove otherwise? ...no? thaaaaat's what I thought.
Provide links to said facts.
Sorry John azz, but with the details I have been provided by Romney/Ryan I would have to assume that Mitt Romney may not be as good with money as everyone including himself says. Take his tax "plan" for example.
That Romney did not drop support for Muordock means he has lost all credibilty. He and Mourdock are monsters.
A discussion of the economy becomes meaningless.
Anyone who would vote for Romney has lost all credibility too.
ryanb21; I suppose you feel the need to turn a deaf ear to obama whispering to the russian leader to be patient until after the election. I guess you are ok with him spending two years with complete control over the government and his only accomplishment is obamacare for which you will be forced to take like it or not. I feel that at this point obama has already accomplished his socialist misson of turning America into a socialist sociaty, if he is re-elected he will attemp to turn America into a islamist country. He has shown that he is not a Christian by not upholding the traditional marriage between a man and a woman, he is condoning homosexuality, he is condoning the murdering of the innocent by abortion. I do not know if he is an muslim but I suspect he is. I do not want this man as my President anymore. He is the destroyer of the family. He is as his father satan the father of lies. He explains every ligitimate question away from a straight answer with a joke or he by slight of tongue changes the subject. Any African American who votes for him is doing so because he is black. Any African American who believes in the Word of God cannot in good conscience vote for him as he is anti-Christian, if he had even a slither of Christianty in him when he took the stage at the democratic convention the first words out of his mouth would have been to denounce the anti-Christian screems by those in the attendence. Sorry folks this man is not what he seems. Both him and his wife hate the American government and they have been doing everything they can to tear it down, if he is re-elected he will succed in doing just that. Actually even if romney wins I am not sure he can undo what has already been done without declaring that as President he is turning over everything obama has done since he has been in office and that includes firing every single person the obama has hired. To all you good African American folks out there who claim to be a Christian please do not go against God and his Son Jesus Christ by voting for obama, if you do not like romney then do not vote at all. You know in your heart that you cannot do this. I do not care if God and his Son is black,white, yellow,red or whatever I will still worship him as my creator and Christ as my savior.
How do you give Mr. Potato Head a personality?
WOW, you libs sure get nasty when you are losing. Lets see, when was the last time, oh yea, about 2 years ago. It was called the Mid-term elections.
"I guess you are ok with him spending two years with complete control over the government and his only accomplishment is obamacare for which you will be forced to take like it or not."
Nope. There's 3 branches of government. Democrats are only in control of one which is one of the main reasons it can be hard for the president to get what he wants done. If it were a republican president with dems in control of the other branches guess what? Same thing happens to that president too. That's not his only accomplishment anyways. This is the cause of government defaults or "shut-downs."
"He has shown that he is not a Christian by not upholding the traditional marriage between a man and a woman, he is condoning homosexuality, he is condoning the murdering of the innocent by abortion."
Fortunately we don't live in a religiously controlled country. Just because your religion is against gay marriage, it doesn't mean every other religion is, or that your opinion coincides with the majority of the nation. Are you saying we need to stick to one religion? I guess that means we need to start cutting off each others hands. Or how about we put lambs blood on our doors? Should we make hanukkah a national day of prayer? I don't know if you realize this but your religion isn't the only one that exists in U.S. Where's their opinion? Are you saying we need to restrict people's freedom? That's not American, Jerry.
"He explains every ligitimate question away from a straight answer with a joke or he by slight of tongue changes the subject."
Look up the "flip-flopper" and see who's name comes up. When Romney was asked about his tax plan he says "Of course the numbers work." In that same debate and when giving his response to that same question he then says "Let's pick a number." Paul Ryan said in the VP debate "We'll worry about those pesky tax plan specifics after we're elected." So which is it Jerry? A tax "plan" that adds another 4 trillion to our deficit which is already a fact based on what we know? Or something worse?
"Actually even if romney wins I am not sure he can undo what has already been done"
You're right. Bush left quite a mess for Obama to pick up. It's like cleaning @!$%# off the walls with your hands and no one around you wants to cooperate enough to give you soap.
"I suppose you feel the need to turn a deaf ear to obama whispering to the russian leader to be patient until after the election."
Go ahead. Continue. I'd like to know why you think he did that.
That's not American either*, Jerry.
Jesus was shacking up with Mary Mag....Read the stuff the old white guys wrote at first, not the cleansed stuff left with.....Jesus hung around 12 guys all the time...what's up with that? Righties, ya really think he was against gays????
bigdogg464
to back some of my facts:
the second debate, everyone thought it was so great when obama said he didn't "know" about his pension because it's not as big as romney's. I don't get why obama supporters think that was a good thing. I would rather have someone who is smart with investments and has more money to lead our country than someone who doesn't "know" about his pension and is not a good steward of his own finances.
Second,
Everytime obama was confronted with the question about the economy he always prefaces with "I inherited a big mess." Take some responsibility mr. president... not like you didn't have FOUR YEARS to do something about it!
Thirdly,
proof about America depleating nuclear weapons... here's your link
Fourth fact,
google "Obama's mentors" and see what comes up... nothing but extreme communists like Frank Marshal Davis and Ayers and... need I go on????
Seriously, read Obama's own autobiography and see that all of his mentors are radical marxists and/or communists! Why is anyone even still debating this? You Obama lovers are ridiculous!!!!!
Not that Romney is the best presidential candidate in the world, but he is a true American who has the best interest in his American heritage... Obama.... not so much!
While Barry was out knocking on doors agitating, Mitt was building a business, working ( A real Job!) to make a living. Obama has been on the government teet since He has been a teenager. Geez, get a real job ! Don't You ever think about, with all Mitt's wealth, He doesn't have to have this job! He is not worried about getting in office and getting rich ! I can't say this for the Obama family.
In life, we sometimes find that the idea of a thing is far better than the thing itself. As a boy, I once ordered, from a comic book, a pair of X-ray glasses that promised to allow me to see the bones beneath my hand (my motives were a bit more ignoble). The two weeks it took for the glasses to arrive seemed like an eternity.
Once they did arrive, I ripped into the package and put them on, darting my head to-and-fro. It’s difficult to express my level of disappointment. As I quickly discovered, the glasses merely formed a halo effect around objects, creating the illusion of transparency. I felt embarrassed. I got took.
Barack Obama’s presidency has been a halo effect. We fell victim to false advertising. As the past four years have demonstrated beyond any serious debate, the idea of President Obama was far better than the reality of President Obama. Many good, well-meaning people voted for President Obama. That was the hope offered and the change promised. We were sold an illusion.
The middle class is getting crushed under the policies of a president who has not understood what it takes to get the economy working again. … The middle class is making $4,300 less per year. While at the same time the price of everything shooting higher. The number of people who are still looking for work
is still 23 million Americans.
There are more people in poverty, one out of 5 people in poverty. Increasing the number of people on food stamps by 50%. The cost of welfare is now over $1.1 Trillion.
How about the growth of the economy? It’s growing more slowly this year than last year – and more slowly last year than the year before. … 10’s of millions have lost their health care and 10’s of millions have lost their home … while millions of other have spent their retirement savings trying to hang on.
President did get ObamaCare done and we were told it would cost $865 billion over ten years and now we are told the cost is $2.6 Trillion … 300% more and climbing.
The president has tried, but his policies haven’t worked.
Recently, I attended an outdoor festival. Although the event was not political, there were people from both the Obama and Romney camps handing out campaign buttons. I walked up to a fellow with a gray pony tail, John Lennon glasses, and Birkenstocks. He was wearing a Romney sticker, I would have bet he was an Obama supporter, mind if I ask why you’re voting for Mitt Romney?
His reply was short and to the point … “Because I refuse to be that stupid twice.”
Changing one’s mind doesn’t always reveal a tendency toward indecision. Sometimes, changing one’s mind reveals a tendency toward wisdom.
ok can anyone answer this I hear a lot of talk about how the Republicans want to cut medicare and medicaid well doesn't Obamacare do that? if everyone have to have health care ins. what is the point of medicare and medicaid?
and how many talk show has Obama been on since becoming President is he ever working on anything besides his ego?

GREAT PIECE BY REPORTER SANDY RADCLIFFE IS PASTED BELOW. THIS TELLS THE TRUE STORY OF FLIP-FLOPPING MITT THE TWITT AND HIS FAMILY. THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE HAS ENDORSED OBAMA, THEY KNOW WHAT A SHAPE-SHIFTER ROMNEY IS:
“Tagg Romney's Company Misled Reporters About Its Relationship With Ponzi
Scheme–Linked Firm Lee Fang on October 12, 2012 - 8:10 PM ET
The private equity firm run by Tagg Romney—Mitt’s eldest son, misled reporters
last year about its involvement with a company run by men accused of taking
part in a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme.
Last year, I reported that Tagg had formed a business partnership with several
North Carolina investors who are still facing a lawsuit for receiving bonus pay
for selling CDs as part of the $8 billion Stanford Financial Group Ponzi
scheme.
In a nutshell, Tagg helped these investors form a company—called Solamere
Advisors, a nod to Tagg’s firm Solamere Capital—shortly after their boss, Allen
Stanford, was caught by law enforcement for his elaborate Ponzi fraud.
When I interviewed him in Las Vegas, Tagg told me that his associates were
“cleared” of any wrongdoing associated with the Stanford Ponzi scheme. Court
documents directly contradict Tagg and show that the lawsuit has not been
dismissed.
The New York Times followed up on my story with its own report and confirmed
that Tagg’s business partners received incentive pay for selling bunk Stanford
CDs. They wrote about one Stanford victim, a local Charlotte businessman and
philanthropist named Herman Stone. Stone was pressured by Brandon Phillips, an
executive working now for Tagg’s firm, into putting $2 million into a
fraudulent Stanford CD and lost everything.
Solamere Capital attempted to distance itself from the story by claiming that
their business was not actually connected to the Ponzi-tainted firm, Solamere
Advisors. In a statement to ABC News, they claimed that their managers, not
Solamere Capital itself, were involved (emphasis added):
“It is inaccurate to suggest that Solamere Capital made an investment in this
firm [Solamere Advisors]. Solamere Capital was approached to invest in a new
wealth management firm being launched by these three individuals. After
extensive due diligence, Solamere Capital decided not to invest because the
business was at an early stage and did not meet our investment criteria.
However, Spencer Zwick, Tagg Romney and Eric Scheuermann each own a minority
stake in the business as individual investors.”
However, Solamere Capital’s statement, provided to ABC News, is false.
Disclosures from the Securities and Exchange Commission show that Tagg’s
company indeed maintains ties with the Ponzi-linked firm, Solamere Advisors.
The claim that Solamere Group didn’t invest directly in Solamere Advisors, the
firm employing former Stanford employees, appears to have been an attempt to
shield Mitt Romney. Mitt invested about $10 million into Tagg’s Solamere
Capital venture, which would suggest Mitt has a direct financial relationship
with folks involved in a Ponzi scheme. That’s because Solamere Capital pools
together investment money to co-invest in other companies
Is there anything this Dirt Bag won't do? So the Caymen Island Accounts are not
just his, he is also helping his kid to rip off people.”
Remember the quote from Newt Gingrich about Romney? “How can you debate
someone who lies about everything?”...more
Under Gov. Romney, Massachusetts fell to 47th out of 50 in job creation:
Before Romney’s time as governor, Massachusetts ranked 36th out of 50 in job
creation, but over the course of his tenure the state ranked a dismal 47th out
of 50—even as the national economy was growing. The Bay State only beat Michigan,
Ohio, and Louisiana—which was still recovering from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Gov. Romney created or raised over 1,000 taxes and fees:
Though he promised he wouldn’t raise taxes as governor, he increased taxes and
fees by as much as $750 million per year, leaving the average taxpayer to pay
an extra $1,227 in state and local fees and taxes. During his first year in office, Romney
raised fees on milk, driver’s licenses, hospitals, nursing and barber licenses,
and even on the blind.
Gov. Romney left behind a huge budget deficit:
Romney broke his pledge to balance the budget and left his successor, Gov.
Deval Patrick, with a $1 billion budget deficit. Long-term debt increased by
16% over Romney’s four-year term, and he left Massachusetts with the highest
debt per person in the nation.
I would NEVER vote for Rob-Me; after one term as Massachusetts Governor, the People of the State of Massachusetts decided the same thing, INCLUDING REPUBLICANS!!!! END OF QUOTE

John,head up your, Azz,
Your opinion does not constitute fact.
The inclusion of rape as an acceptable means of conception in the RNC party platform seems to be taking it's toll.
RNC party platform:
Exclude minorities, exclude women, exclude anything else that does not appear to be male, white, rich.
Include any means of conception including RAPE. It's really a good thing!
Keep hoping and trying to make it sound good for yur guy libbies, the reality will set in soon. OBUMBO IS TOAST!!!
is that all you have 1967 is hate?
John azz was asked to provide facts...just continued with fox news blather.......same ol same ol......Yes John...you need to go on...back to the land of repub unicorns...fox news...
Muglitt....Rich Dems care about the middle class and are willing to pay higher fair share of taxes....repubs want to keep screwing over the middle clas and poor and make them pay all of the taxes while Romney and greedy 1% rich hide their money in offshore accounts. Why? they set up businesses offshore to avoid paying taxes in the United States per Romney himself.
Example?...Repubs just blocked vote on 7-19-12 to remove tax breaks for companies taking jobs overseas. 7-19-12, repubs blocked vote to give tax breaks to companies that would bring the American jobs back to America!
Actions and facts talk louder than lies from FOX NEWS johnny azz

Don't be fooled by a tax cheating, serial lying, bully!
WTF????
I sure hope Mr. Wren doesn't represent the average undecided voter!
The lack of intellectual curiosity is STUNNING!
Poor Mittens, so deluded, and so convinced that people do not recognize that he is a sociopath.
Sorry Mittens, I know you are going to be in HUGE trouble with Queen Ann, but the evidence is that your campaign is fizzling.
You can try the Karl Rove thing of lying about the outcome.
But it just won't work.
We just don't like you.
Is that right NewDay - the evidence is that Mitt is fizzling?
Prey tell, what evidence is that?
Unlike say the evidence that the old woman voting gap is shrinking, and right quick.
Golly NewDay - it's almost as if you don't know what the word means.
But go ahead and show us all you do.
Go ahead. We'll wait. :)
An it is representative old gal. It's what I've been saying - the preference cascade is in full effect.

We learn all we need to know about Willard when you consider all the Republicans running for Senate, the only onw Willard did a TV ad for was Mourdoch. Character counts!
PS Spanky, latest poll shows Obama up by 5 in Ohio. Even your cherished Gallup tracking poll shows Willard's once 7 point lead now cut to 3. How can Willard lose 4 points on Gallup in 4 days?
I feel closer to him already... I am especially smitten when he puts on the little sullen "lets try to sound genuine" voice with all the soft edges and the drops of tone at the ends of the poorly constructed sentences... He is surely a sociopath. It would be interesting to see him shifting over to sycophant, but we're not invited to the meetings with his handlers. I bet they're cookies aren't from 7-Eleven!!
alright Al in visalia, if character counts, why would you vote for a man like Obama who shows no character?
If lying is acceptable to you, then by all means vote for the critter.
I realize with that Eddie Munster hairline Paul Ryan could be mistaken to be something other than human but I wouldn't go so far as to call him a critter. Of course, Willard in the movie loved hanging out with rats, didn't he?
1funnygirl,
false equivalency. Mitt Romney lies as well and has lied a hell of a lot more than Obama has so why are you supporting him?
No Feisty, you would rather vote into office a do nothing apologist who cannot get the Senate and House to work together. You would rather have another four years of gridlock. You would rather have someone in the White House who outright lies to the American people about serious things like Benghazi.
I couldn`t have said it any better RED this country is full of brainwashed idiots and it kills me that they don`t hear anything but thier partys lieing hypocritical BS who wants a POTUS who can sit down look you in the eye and lie right to your face then say look at you and say he never said it. Oh and how about that jerkoff scumbag Trump he couldn`t come right out and say what he wanted to but he got the red meat out for all the rightwing birther idiots who still think the president wasn`t born here. ya know stir up the partys idiots before the election. boy they`ve pulled out all the low lifes and tricks this time around huh! what a real @#@#@scumbag he is
alaska'girl' - If lying is acceptable to you, then by all means vote for the critter.
Why don't you just come out and say it? Monkey. Gorilla. That's what you mean, and we all know it. What we don't know is if you are a real female or like Ann Coulter.
You hate filled redneck ignorant cowboys make me sick.
Starderup,
Where do these outragious statement come from? Are you this stupid to even suggest critter is a code would for black?
Your para 2 is just unbelieveable! And are you continuing your war on conservative women with your last sentence?
Why would you call me a "hate filled redneck ignorant cowboy?
Listen, if anyone is sick here, it is you. Get a life!
Feisty-I sure hope Mr. Wren doesn't represent the average undecided voter!
Since he SAID he was a Democrat but voted for McCain in 2008 and now supports Romney.I'm doubting we could ever think of him as an "undecided" voter.
talk about being delusional... calling Romney a liar.... when Obama lied about 4 American deaths for two weeks... over and over and over again... just to save his political hide... "al-Qaeda is on it's heels".. I think those four Americans who died a horrific death... due to lack of security (and America coming to their aid) .... would tend to disagree with that statement... same ol same ol .."you have a big election about small things" ~Obama~.... like binders... bayonets... and let's not forget Big Bird... It's the economy ......
jerseygirlie.....WHY WON'T THE SENATE AND HOUSE WORK TOGETHER? BECAUSE THE REPUBS PLEDGED NOT TO!!! PAUL RYAN PLEDGED AND VOTED TO TAKE THE ECONOMY DOWN TO MAKE PRESIDENT OBAMA A ONE TERM PRESIDENT....FACT! RYAN PLEDGED TO NROQUIST NOT TO RAISE TAXES ON THE RICH!
REPUBS CAUSE THE ECONOMY TO GROW SLOW, THEN WHINE THAT IT IS NOT GROWING!
RYAN SABOTAGES THE ECONOMY. REPUBS BLOCK BRINGING OFFSHORE JOBS BACK TO AMERICA.
REPUBS DO THEIR BEST TO MAKE AMERICA WORSE!
From dailykos.com 9/6/12 by keepemhonest Story : MAtt APPUZZO FACT CHECK THIS.2009 PAUL RYAN PLOTTED TO SABOTAGE THE ECONOMY.
So, allow me to educate Matt Apuzzo with real facts that really led to the Republican's plotted obstruction to guarantee legislative cluster-f@ck.
FACT 1. In Robert Draper's book, "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives" Draper wrote that on inauguration night, 2009, during a four hour, "invitation only" meeting with GOP Hate-Propaganda Minister, Frank Luntz, the below listed Senior GOP Law Writers literally plotted to sabotage, undermine and destroy America's Economy.
FACT 2: Draper wrote the guest list included:
FACT 3: Newt Gingrich confirms meeting took place in an interview with Al Sharpton's Politics Nation on June 12, 2012
FACT 4: Two months after Paul Ryan's covert meeting where they plotted to sabotage the US Economy, in March 2009, Rep. Pete Sessions said Republicans should follow the model of the Taliban in its battles against President Obama.
In the March 2009 interview with National Journal Rep Sessions said:
Rep Pete Sessions went on to say:
FACT 5: Also, at the January 20, 2009 meeting they plotted to suddenly stop supporting any Stimulus Legislation, even though, they all supported Bush/Cheney Stimulus legislation.
Starsailing, where were you all the time?
Caribbean girlie...Inauguration night?...I remember it well......I was with a friend named Cheryl for about 3 hrs straight....Started with a gift from Victorias Secret........Don't know if I can mention the details on here......it would take 3 hrs of reading time........! Might just as write a book and make some money huh? I certainly wouldn't go out with 15 guys to a restaurant.......like these fools did...I could understand a wingman or two....15? Repubs and Ryan....Diabolical to say the least...creepy at best......TOTALLY UNAMERICAN !
Starsailing, you are an idiot.
All of your fact checking does not explain why Obama and his Democrat majority during his first 2 years in office didn't get the things, that you complain about, done. Instead you blame the Republican party. Really?
GT you pic says it all Democrats just want to screw everything !!!!! just ask JFK and Clinton
Does anyone remember ... The Halliburton Corp. ... Bush and Chenney were always getting slammed Halliburton thisWhen President Obama got the Presidency and Democrats locked up BOTH houses of Congress making the Republicans the party with homeless, I wondered aloud boy I sure won't want to be an employee of Halliburton.
It got me wondering how bad did Halliburton get hammered by the Democratics now that they control the Universe ... uhmmm ... Guess who is the Biggest the, Biggest by far, Contractor in the United States that right it's Halliburton ... uhmmmm ... guess who the Biggest "No Bid" Contractor is ... that's right .... HALLIBURTON. Why would Democrats point to Halliburton and scream EVIL CORPORATION but do nothing once in a position to make some changes ... uhmmm ... because more Democratic Senators and Congressman
Phincster66....Try a little facts check ON YOURSELF....Dems did not have a majority for 2 years.....Your rant has been debunked a thousand times...you just made a fool of yourself....try 2 1/2 months......and it was quite the group of people that got a TON OF GOOD BILLS PASSED. Election recounts and sick politicians took away the "majority" status due to repubs promise to vote against and filibuster everything in sight!
You own the title you gave me phincster66.......by your very own rant. Again..try some facts check on your rant!
Muglitt.....so republicons knew N cheated on all of his wives and told them when they were extrememly sick...at the same time Newt was going nuts about Clinton getting a BJ. while Mittster was getting it all himself....Then you have Hermain B eckyBeckyBeckystan Cain who had sex with a number of women. When asked he said he didn't have sex with that one, but I did with that blonde, that brunette, that .....redhead...........and knowing all that you Muglitt....... wanted these clowns to be president.......DUHHHH!!!!!
beelzebub....I don't doubt you wonder a lot...you back Romney and you have to wonder hourly who the hell he is.....?
As for Haliburton.....Romney just hired 17 of 24 of Bush regime advisers...these same murderers who helped Bush/Cheney lie nation into Iraq war for war profits for Haliburton. Thousands of our troops died just to give no bid contracts to Haliburton for war profits. Thousands more wounded, suffering and still dying. Billions spent helping to throw the economy all to hell, Millions homeless in iraq, and thousands more killed...because Cheney wanted to give Haliburton war profits. All that Bush wanted was to "be known as a war president because war presidents are remembered."
You were saying Beezy?.......Thousands murdered by Bush Cheney and 17 of 24 Romney advisers....for war profits for Haliburton.....
Wow! That is one stellar endorsement and it so sounds like something Mitt would totally understand. I certainly didn't get it! Pretty sure that endorsement totally revolves around Mitt's Pro-Life stance that he has TODAY!
Obama/Biden 2012
Yep Layton - kinda tells you just how crappy O has done.
And try to keep up - it's about the economy.
Spanky, please try and keep up. Mitt was speaking in Nevada with the highest unemployment rate and offered not one idea on how he's going to lower it.
Not one. Just his usual fairy dust approach.
Obama/Biden 2012
perhaps but Obama has had 4 years and has done what again himself to lower it? Give him 4 more and now he promises he'll be president. Puh leeze. *popcorn!
Hey everybody, lets discuss Willards
999 plan5 point plan. The economists really had good a time debunking that one....LOL...O&Joe 2012
CA ..
We're neighbors to Nevada and have worked with the President and our unemployment rate is about 5.8%
Maybe ol' Adelson should invest in the people of his state???????
Obama/Biden 2012
who? you mean Sandoval? Funny Layton if it were only that simple. President Obama, the great uniter, keep telling yourself that.
Interesting though, Harry Reid, Senate leader and budgeteer extraoridnaire and Senator of Nevada, you think he could use 'his magic underwear' to sway the Red Gov of Nevada. Maybe Berkley can? you knew Reid was Mormon right, of course you did, his mormonism is better though.
Layton, as a small business owner, I will tell you how Romney plans to get people back to work, it's called confidence in the President. Obama doesn't have that, in fact companies are scared to death of Obama's tax plan. Become a small business owner and maybe, just maybe you might understand.
Speaking about plans, the President released his 20 page plan today (I guess he was keeping it secret until the debates were over) and the New York Times, that conservative newspaper wrote:
"He released a 20-page booklet encapsulating previously announced policies and contrasting his positions to those of Mr. Romney. The document contains no new proposals"
this is obamas plan>>>>>>Under obama 6 trillion more in debt middle east in a turmoil border
guards killed by one of his projects ambassador killed from lack of proper
security Under obama a greater divide in AMERICA under obama a new tax that
will hurt middle class citizens the most (obama care) under obam a total lack
of transparency. Under obama the division of races has tripled. obama 1st
president to win because of his race obama causes 1st presidential candidate to
lose because of his race(mccain) possibly second candidate to lose because of
his race. That is the true picture of the lawyer in the white house DO YOU
REALLY WANT THIS AGAIN
jerry - maybe the current policies are working? Check the news. Unemployment down, including long term. Housing prices up. New home starts up. Foreclosures down. Sorry it doesn't fit your agenda.
gordon - shouldn't you be using the word tumult instead of turmoil? You should stay on the same page as your masters.
JersyGirl ...
Seriously just about fell off of my chair! Working for a small business I definitely know that my boss doesn't have the time to wander around to posting boards and spout ignorant crap. I seriously doubt you have employees that aren't family. Small businesses are BOOMING under the President. Mittens and co are not going to provide anything new other than how to make a buck or two for those that already have too many.
Must be so comfy fine for you to embrace the party of the Donald. Some tight white businessman who thinks the President of the United States will kowtow to some stupid bet he wants to place. America does not work that way. We don't like liars or cheats. How many times has the Donald gone bankrupt?
Enjoy your loony party and beliefs. I am banking on the President.
Obama/Biden 2012
Well Gordonw12 once again you`ve proving that you righties are a bunch of backwoods idiots who spew whatever comes to your pea sized brains or whatever some lieing rightwing scumbag on fox or Rush says. then you try to spin it and sell that @!$%# to the rest of us who in case you havn`t guessed but we use our brains and we know snake oil when we see it. heres one for ya Gordo if you ever get your head out your @#@ and see what your party has done to all of us and this country just to win the white house back is treason they and the rich have held this country at a snails pace at our expence and have done nothing to get it moving cus they can`t win if it is and Obama won not because he`s black but because he has a better and more stable vision for this country but your party only wanted someone to blame for Bush`s #$#@ ups see they thought that they could push the ole black boy around and he`d be like yes`em mr boss man whatever you say but turns out he unlike most democrats he was more like Clinton and has a backbone and a set of balls and a plan for the people and not just the same ole trickle down BS that the rich republicans have been scewing us with for 30 yrs and they hate that and anybody they can`t bully and push around so they create the leftwing BOOGIEMAN and you idiots eat it up and vote everytime against your own best intrest and we all sufer for it. so until you get your head out your @#@ and look for the truth instead of spewing something just because they say its true then do the rest of us and yourself a huge favor and don`t vote and i promise you will be better off in the end.
The reason that Mitt the Twit's math does not add up is because the huge amount of money that is missing from his equation will be in his pocket and the pockets of his uber rich friends.
"Of course the math adds up, of course it does." It probably does but he is not going to tell you that it is in his pockets.
Guess what! The unemployment rate isn't really what they said it was. HUH? The unemployment applications from last week have now been revised from 336,000 to 392,000. Surpise, Surprise, Surpise. happened every week for the last 44 months.
Layton, who are You kidding ? I own a small business, that had 4 distribution points, until Barry took over. We have closed one, and there is another in Florida that will close next month. We were trying to hold on till the election, but We can't make it. The work force under Obama is at the lowest point since Jimmy Carter! I hope that He isn't reelected, America will not withstand another 4 years of this. Unemployment up, Revenue down, debt up, racial divide huge, food stamp reciepients through the roof. All You have to do is look at the base He panders to, and You know why He is still even in the race!
Layton-3733410,
By CA do you mean Canada? California unemployment is 10.2% as of October 19th, 2012. This does not include the migrant workers at the Home Depots across the state and many others.
Stop lying, like Obama, to the JerseyGirl
www.edd.ca.gov/about_edd/News_Releases.htm shows 10.2% unemployment in California, not 5.8%
We can't afford four more years like the last 4 years..
But we can't afford four more years like the ones before the last election...
Only one answer makes sense....
NOBODY-
Has a plan that the American people can support!
NOBODY 2012

Obama/Biden 2012!
You mean like when Obama was running for president in 2008 and he said he would pass Immigration reform in his first term to sway the Hispanic vote. Hasn't happened. Democratic majority during first 2 years. Didn't happen. What a liar. I guess you're voting Independent now.
If Mr. Wren voted for McCain in 2008(that makes him a dumb-ass already) he will vote for Romney. His wife will beat the @!$%# out of him if he doesn't!
Rev. Wren no doubt voted for two terms of George Bush. Don't blame him, his wife told him to.
You DemocRATS are about as stupid as your post
Danny ...put the crayons, playdough and paste away. The school bus will be there in a couple minutes....
Please do not insult children!!
Man, I don't care what lies Mittens tells, He has got to be better than the worst president to ever grace the white house ! Hell My Black Lab would've done a better job than Barry, and that can't be perceived as racist, Ha !
You can't convince someone who's already decided. it's hard to do.
Let's focus on getting those undecideds to vote (for whom they want) and getting those who weren't planning on voting out to the polling booth. There's a good bet that needed votes will be sitting on the sidelines, uncast, and those are the folks that are important.
Voting is more important now, than ever, and it may be our last chance to have our voices heard before a radical movement in this country attempts to take power, and deny us this right in the future.
I can't get beyond Mitt's patronizing smirk and stance we are beneath him. He refuses to acknowledge veterans, and disregards them as part of the 47% he disdains so completely.
Romney has a plan that will add problems, not relieve them. His social agenda is definitely out of the dark ages, and he has ZERO respect from other nations.
I will be voting for the President because I like him, we're on the right course, and he, along with the First Lady, the Vice President, and Mrs Biden, treat our veterans and serving members in the Armed Forces with dignity and respect. As a veteran, that's important to me.
Thank you for your service, and, very nicely stated post.
I agree Zeta. Why dump an incumbent we know is calm in a crisis, likeable, and popular with our allies, for a challenger who is just "different," not "better?"
I think people who complain about the economy should buy American goods, lose weight to lower healthcare costs, and invest in a gas efficient car. Americans have a responsibilty to their country, it can't be all dumped on the President. What is Obama's job to do, he has done well. We should all do as much.
The real effort is to get the ones that have already decided for Obama to vote. That will at least even the field. The real danger to democracy are the people that don't vote.
And the ones that don't vote are usually the ones that bitch the loudest!
AlaskaGirl,
No kidding! It's a rule of mine, you can't complain about anything if you didn't get out and use the voice/vote that you have. Whether it be for President, a judge, or a local proposition. VOTE!
Obama/Biden 2012
Totally right there with you! Our votes cannot be bought, and that is the power that we have as individuals.
O&Joe 2012
Yea he treats people with respect don't he when he tells The American people that it was a movie that got 4 AMERICANS KILLED and sat their and watched them get killed and did NOTHING I mean what kind of a person would do that oh that's right a DemocRAT Yea Obama watched them get killed and the went to bed and got up the next day and went to Nevada to do some fund raising that is a person I want to be the President OF THE GREATS COUNTRY IN THE WORLD oh ya
Gee Danny, is the thin air up there on Bull Shat mountain affecting you?
If you wait until it rains and the crud slide starts, you might get back down to some breathable air.
We can only hope.
Now, I'm not Democrat nor Republican but it seems to me that the Republicans are especially adept at starting wars under false pretenses and I don't want to see another one slapped on the credit card of the unborn of the future. Do you?
I just learned the other day that the Libertarian Party is just another arm of the Republican party. So there went that choice. The republicans now have enough arms to be considered a Hindu God of great note.
Now I am in a quandary because I am forced to choose the lesser of two evils. Either a lying Mormon or a president who has been fillibustered by Republicans as a racist act for 3 1/12 years. I abhor racism in any form. So I guess the president gets another vote. Sorry about your damn luck, Danny boy.
Danny boy: Did you forget about 9/11? Intelligence told President Bush that terrorists were going to attack the United States using planes and his administration ignored it. Seemed odd that the next day 9/12 pictures of every terrorist involved were shown on every channel on TV. Oh yes, and while we were being attacked, President Bush was reading "My Pet Goat". And please remind me how many people were killed THAT DAY.
dannyboy........at least we remember how Bush got the whole Bin laden family out of the country the day after 911? Bin Laden's family......Friends of the Bush family and Bush flies them out of the country while all other planes are grounded......Danny boy...we remember.......we remember how Bush failed and quit looking for Bin Laden...and Romney said he wouldn't.....we remember how President Obama killed Bin Laden....you were saying?
Romney is the right choice at this critical time.
$16,200,000,000,000.00+ National Taxpayer Debt
6 trillion of that happened on the bush watch and about 40% of the current deficit is interest because we lost out AAA bond reating to the GOP congress.
Obama's reckless spending caused the 2 credit downgrades. Obama spent more in 3.5 years than Bush spent in 8 and the U.S. economy is trashed.
The credit downgrade was caused by the House playing chicken with the President over raising the debt ceiling. Congress has behaved recklessly, not our President.
Please Amy, give Obama credit.....if he hadn't spent so much, the debt ceiling issues wouln't have been a problem.
So you believe we should give him a blank check to spend?
Obama said if he didn't have the economy fixed in 3 years he would be a 1 term president. Bill Clinton said the economy is not fixed.
Ah, S&P ... a truly reliable rating agency with a stellar track record. Sarcasm with a bullet.
As a Navy wife...let me say
Building new ships we can not afford and do not need is reckless.
Besides Romney never mentions what he will do for the sailor's and Vets.
He is not qualified to even be Secretary of the Navy.
Re-elect our Commander-in-Chief President OBAMA 2012
Geez,Obama will have your husband in the welfare line. he is a joke as commander in chief.
GermanGem Your piicture looks great. Is that really you? You are taking Clinton"s statement out of context. He said that the economy was not fixed yet and that even he could not have fixed it yet. Obama did not realize the depth of how much damage had been done until he got into office. Even he admitted that he made a mistake.
Obama still can't realize the depth he has put us in so he thinks tax the rich and give to new energy then they can give him millions for his campaign and then they can file BK and let the tax payers pay the tab ya your President sounds like we need 4 more years of that crap All you have to do is look at the unemployed, people on Obama's Government Welfare, debt and the economy WHY WOULD A AMERICAN VOT FOR THIS MAN AGAIN?
danny....something that didn't happen...can't be realized...unless they live in the land of fox news and unicorns!
I keep hearing that Obama failed to get things done the past four years because the GOP and Tea Party stopped his agenda. If they out smarted him for four years we should put THEM in charge. I would hate to be hearing that they out smarted him for eight years. Heck they had congress for two of those years, they outsmarted Dems with one hand tied behind thier backs. Either the Dems are really dumb, or they really had no leadership. Maybe both.
Yeah it's really smart to tell your entire GOP leadership to, no matter what, vote NO on nearly everything that would help move this country forward. If anyone should be fired, it is Boehner, Cantor, Pence, Mcconnel, et al. For those of you who advocate this type of leadership, which is to put party before country, then you are no better than those in the GOP leadership.
Obama's budget got ZERO votes.
Yea; is "We won, you lost" a part of Leadership 101? You cannot have a Constitutional Republic without compromise; that would be from BOTH sides!
Hey germ girl, if you are responding to me in any way, I put you on ignore on "day one", so whatever you got to say to me, I found out a long time ago that you weren't worth listening to, so move along and peddle your vileness somewhere else.
Actually Sane, it would appear that the only way Progressives can get anything done is to have the Executive Branch and a rubber-stamp Congress (Legislative Branch). Depending upon who is President, even that could become a problem as observed by GGem in Post 9.2.
Sane, I wish I could vote for your post more than once.
You win the internets today.
Please, keep them coming. Great post.
Welfare is up 32% under Obama's watch. Is that heading in the right direction?
Have you personally done anything for the poor in the last 4 years?
What does that have to do with Obama's record?
Everyone cries about people on welfare.
Makes me wonder if,
they just want to bash Obama
Or do they care about the poor?
GermanGem:
You need to look at Bimbo Bush's blusters for 8 years when the economy kept sliding into the ditch. Do you think that was he was sending us in the right direction? Apparently you're not smart enough to realize that Romney & Co. will only sink us more so. If you think Obama didn't do anything, you need to blame the Republicans who blocked EVERYTHING he tried to do--he only "work" they did was to try and be sure Obama was a one-term president. They made no secret of THAT goal. So many ended up on welfare due to Bush's incompetence--with the help from his Republican buddies.
Sandy,
Have you personally done anything for the poor in the last 4 years?
I have and its still up 32%, what's your point?
jean
you better go back at look at the economics during bush and the unemployment rates and the gdp.
I switched jobs 3 times during the Bush years and 6 weeks was the longest I was out of work.
I was laid off Otober last year and here it is October 2012 and I am still out of work and it has been hell.
Yes I have had interviews and second interviews and they all were good interviews.
Deleted!
Romney is trying to personalize it in how this time? Since last week was different, what is it today? What about tomorrow? He's a shape shifter.
When Obama bankrupts the country, who thinks rich people will suffer the most?
Why, hello again, GermanGem! I hadn't heard from you in so long I was beginning to wonder if you'd had a "road to Damascus" moment and were out helping teen moms or something.
Ahhh, damnit- that's just not true. Never in my most extravagant fancies did I imagine you ever doing something for those less fortunate than yourself, which from your statements I would imagine to be damn near all of us.
I posted a challenge on another article this morning and, to my everlasting astonishment, not one Romney supporter took me up on it. Now, having read your comments here for some time, I have formed the opinion that, however much I loathe your smugness and open contempt for those you perceive as beneath you, you are quite intelligent and much more articulate than many of your compatriots. So here's my gauntlet, hurled at your feet as a gage of battle: I'd like for you to enumerate for me those positions on which Romney has held a steady and unchanging position, from his days as Governor to today. Spell out for me the opinions that are the unchangeable core of the man, those bedrock principles to which he will remain faithful even unto death. (Other than his apparent belief that he deserves to be President because, you know, it's his turn.)
Now I know you're above cheap and foolish tactics like coming back with "Obama blah, sputter, hack, gag..." like so many semiliterate rednecks do when they're called out. Deflection is not permitted, and I'd expect better from you anyway. There's the challenge; I want you or any-got-dang-body to spell out Romney's fundamental principles of governance on which he has never waffled or backed down.
Are you up to it, or are you as immune to flattery as you are to compassion?
crickets
German-Gem.... love your post... wish I could vote for them more than once... but then that would be like the democratic voters voting for their president... they would do anything to keep him in ... keep the good posts coming...
The flip-flop moniker is one that really not many challenging politicians can escape in elections involving a president seeking a second term. Our binary political system forces candidates to pander, and ALL politicians pander, to their party's base. John Kerry lost an election because of his perceived "flip-flopping" both in his record in the Senate and in campaigning. To win the nomination a candidate must appease the farthest reaches of his base only to get a shot at running in the "real" election. So, has Mr. Romney altered his message through the course of the campaign? I would say yes, of course. I would also say that what has me undecided as a voter is what he was able to accomplish as much as he did in the heavily Democratically controlled state of Massachusetts. Listening to what either candidate says seems like a futile gesture. Seeing how they have governed in the past seems a more prudent way to judge them. I would venture a guess, although I don't know the man personally and could never pretend to know it as fact, that President Clinton was far more liberal in his views than he governed. So, to answer your question more directly, I as an independent voter, am wary of Mr. Romney's "flip-flops", recognize them for what they are, and am forming an opinion as to whether I think his past record of governing will resemble what he would do in the White House. With this information I will be comparing it to what Mr. Obama has done and what I think he will do based on his previous performance.
On a side note, can't wait until all this is over. Are there really this many people so full of disdain for their fellow Americans over politics? This board is full of hate and many of it blind hate only following words and party lines with no thought, just regurgitation. I can only imagine that both party's have people hitting these message boards early and often but that is a whole other disturbing topic. :)
So we should all be impresses because Steve Wynn supposedly endorsed Romney??? Wow we were showed very much how the really, really rich work when we stayed at the Wynn. The rooms (both us and our daughter and son in law had a room there) were loud from the music in the clubs. Then the people next door were partying and we have to say they did move them out. But when we complained we were told those people in those clubs have money big money and we will not cause a problem for them. We make a lot off of them and very little off the rooms that "people like you rent". Then to make us feel like second class citizens when we went to find some cheese cake and were in our jeans the guy at the counter said " maybe you should go to someplace else as not sure you can afford the cheesecake here". What? So we went to their restaurant which was closed but we read the menu and the cheesecake was $ 10 a slice. I can afford it. But this just goes to show what snobs these guys are. Then here a few weeks ago during the dress up affair Romney had the gull to say " Oh this is how Ann and I dress ever night at home" Some people in this country can't even feed their familes let alone dress up. So Romney if it makes you proud to have Donald Trump and Steve Wynn support you then the rest of us will for sure enjoy the hell out of supporting our President Barrack Obama. A man who stands for all of us who have worked hard and paid for the things we can afford without the help of some big shot.
The GOP/RNC "Intervert and Chief" has no human personality however, on his home planet of Romulus he is a big hit. The GOP/RNC "Romulian and Chief" is so "Alien" to the struggles of the Middle Class, the Working Poor, the elderely, and the disabled. It is amazing that people are using the word 'personalize' to describe the very 'strange' personality of the GOP/RNC "Flip-Flopper" and Chief."
Romney and Stemberg allegedly went to Goldman Sachs to cash in their stock for a
massive payout, according to TMZ. His bitter ex-wife Maureen Stemberg claims
this testimony effected how much she got from the settlement.
Why is Obama borrowing $15 million from Bank of America for his campaign?
Why did Romney borrow $20 million ... ?
He didn't. In fact, the Romney campaign has a surplus of funds.
Yes he did.
www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2012/10/20/romney-september-money/1646431/
One of Romney's largest single expenses last month: Repaying $10 million of a $20 million bank loan he took out in August to remain competitive with Obama. He still owed $5 million at the end of September.
Ms german gem must be handling Mr romney's funds overseas.
Romney and Stemberg In court, just 13 days before the election, Robert Jones added: 'There is a spin cycle right now. The longer this goes on the longer the speculation will go on. The sooner we get out of this the better.
For those who are not from Romney's native Massachusetts, this hit the news today:
Mitt Romney’s testimony in Staples founder’s divorce case to be considered for public release in open court
CANTON — Mitt Romney’s 1991 testimony in the divorce of Staples founder Tom Stemberg will be considered for public release on Thursday in open court and with television cameras rolling at Norfolk Probate and Family Court.
The court on Wednesday rejected Stemberg’s request to close the hearing, siding with the Globe, which is seeking access to the impounded testimony of Romney, now the Republican nominee for president.
Stemberg’s ex-wife, Maureen Sullivan Stemberg, appeared in court on Wednesday and supported the release of Romney’s testimony. Robert G. Jones, an attorney for Romney, said the candidate has no position on whether his testimony should be unsealed.
Gloria Allred, an attorney for Sullivan Stemberg, produced two, inch-thick volumes of testimony Romney delivered during the divorce proceedings two decades ago.
Attorneys for Stemberg, Staples and Romney, who had not reviewed the testimony before Wednesday’s hearing, were granted a continuance to do so. The court will reconvene at 9 a.m. on Thursday.
Click to contact candidates or elected officials about this issue.All documents in the divorce case were impounded, and all parties signed a confidentiality agreement that prevents them from discussing details of the case with the press. The Globe is seeking only Romney’s testimony, which he delivered in June 1991.
At the time of the divorce, Romney was the owner and chief executive of Bain Capital, a private equity firm that invested $650,000 in Staples to help the office supply company open its first store in Brighton in 1986. In total, Bain Capital invested about $2.5 million in Staples and reaped a $13 million profit when the company went public in 1989. Romney sat on the Staples board of directors.
During the current presidential election, Stemberg has served as a surrogate for Romney. Stemberg spoke at the Republican National Convention in August.
...and this:
Divorcee, celebrity attorney fighting to unseal Romney testimony
Staples founded with backing from Bain Capital
CANTON, Mass. —
A Massachusetts probate judge will hold another hearing Thursday before deciding whether to unseal testimony that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney gave in the divorce case of Staples founder Tom Stemberg.
Ex-wife Maureen Stemberg Sullivan appeared in court Wednesday with lawyer Gloria Allred. They said they didn't object to a Boston Globe motion to lift an impoundment order on Romney's testimony in the case from the early 1990s.
Attorneys for Romney and Staples asked the judge for more time to review two booklets of testimony.
Stemberg's attorney said he had only been able to review about 20 pages. Romney's attorney says he doesn't anticipate objecting but Romney would like time to review the entire transcript.
No one would say exactly what's in the testimony but it appeared to relate to financial issues.
Staples was founded with backing from Romney's firm, Bain Capital.
Staples is a very successful business that employs alot of people. Whats your point?
Hey German Balls, read the statement dum A**
Sounds like Alred is attention starved.
Just like you...
touche fiesty lol, albeit not true
German Gem - you really need to lay off the peroxide. It is affecting your ability to process information. Have you found a new sugar daddy?
Nope!
Hasn't stopped her from strolling though! ;o)
Good to see you my friend! Hope all is well with you!
Through the years Romney and his friends have been involved in some really shady business deals.I figure that if we are unlucky enough to see him win. There will be one scandal after the other start to come out. We'll have another Nixon nightmare to go through. Another good reason to not vote for him Nov 6th.
Obama/Biden
hey Mr romney, I guess running to be the leader of Mormon church was not enough for you so you want to be the president of the United States. you claim to understand the average middle Americans, who are you kidding. All you care about is how to feed your ego. You are a sad little man!!! By the way, don't you have any shame in changing your positions ALL the time. DISGUSTING!!!
So what? It was made public several years ago that Bain Capital had invested in Staples, right along with a lot of others that ARE still in business. I don't see the reasoning here, except that B....ch Alred thinks she's gonna make him quit.
Well I voted early so it is over for me no matter what is said.I think I made to right vote for America and voted for President Romney.
Hey Lama I voted early also for the former President Obama and Biden
Way to go Bama:)
GermanGem- Romney is just like the people in alabama who are in office clueless and used the good old boy system to fack being real just to get a handout which is alabama's history. What is romney going to flip to next being a jehovah witness for votes? Mitt romney is a two faced souless punk who still has 5 grandmothers. Sound like enbreding in alabama.
and here is your chicago politics>>>>>>>Under obama 6 trillion more in debt middle east in a turmoil border
guards killed by one of his projects ambassador killed from lack of proper
security Under obama a greater divide in AMERICA under obama a new tax that
will hurt middle class citizens the most (obama care) under obam a total lack
of transparency. Under obama the division of races has tripled. obama 1st
president to win because of his race obama causes 1st presidential candidate to
lose because of his race(mccain) possibly second candidate to lose because of
his race. That is the true picture of the lawyer in the white house DO YOU
REALLY WANT THIS AGAIN
The four worst states for poverty and lack of education in the US,Mississippi,Louisiana,Alabama,and Texas.All strong Republican strongholds.
@hawk-2946882 - I think you're confused. Obama is actually the one with 5 grandmothers... his dad had five wives. Just like most Obama supporters, you don't get any facts, you just drink the Obama kool-aid. He is a great motivational speaker. I'll give him that much. Romney's "dirt" is the least of our problems. How about Obama's radical communist and marxist mentors... how about the fact we're totally vulnerable to a middle east who HATES us... we now have 300 nuclear missles... before Obama we had 1,500... funny how none of the other countries are depleating their missles.
Affirmative Action has not worked in choosing a president. Affirmative Action put a man who had no qualifications into an office he cannot handle. Hopefully this can be reversed come November 6, 2012.
R/R 2012
Affirmative Action? You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. I think you've gone off your noodle. Your clear racist values are what continues to hurt this country.
Umm, Hawk...
Have you ever lived in Alabama or are you offering us a slice of what you think Alabama is? Just wondering...
The question is did Romney lie under oath for his friend? If so that would be perjury, and he apparently did because he and Stemberg cashed in their stock. Romney also hired Stemberg who later cancelled his wife's health insurance after she had cancer and other health issues.
The New York conservative blog, The Red Side of Life, demanded Romney supporters 'stop her now,' adding 'we're doing too well to risk 'an Allred.'
'Gloria Allred Prepares Anti-Mitt Strike You Can STOP Her Now! (action!) Don't underestimate Gloria Allred's ability to inflictdamage,' the website reads.
Good! I hope Gloria Allred inflicts a whole lotta pain! Don't put it past Romney, if he's hiding something, to use all of his money to get this thing squashed as quickly as possible, or at least until after election day.
Did the President lie to the American people regarding the murder of Ambassador Stevens? Did the President purposely send Ambassador Rice and Secretary Clinton out to lie to the American people while fully knowing what really happened? That what we really should be asking.
She is in the same pig stall as Trump.If you take any of there crap you truely should not be able to vote.
proud_hispanic
Not only did the President lie to the American people about the murder of ambassador Stevens, the President and Leon Panetta lied to his mother about the events leading up to his murder. I have lost faith in this President and our economy is the worst its ever been during Obamas term. Vote all these clowns out, Republican and Democrat. Politicians should not have job security unless they help to make our economy the strongest in the world.
Sorry Mr President : you had your shot, now its time to step down and admit you didn't have a clue how to turn the economy around. We will not forgive all the lies you have told the American people. Time for change.
PH-Did the President lie to the American people regarding the murder of Ambassador Stevens? Did the President purposely send Ambassador Rice and Secretary Clinton out to lie to the American people while fully knowing what really happened?
The answer is NO. Unconfirmed reports of many things were being reported. And just like in any investigation,until its finished you don't have all the facts. The latest intelligence is that extremest groups carried out the attack,saying they were provoked by anger over the video. So how is that in any significant way different than what was reported.
PH-Did the President lie to the American people regarding the murder of Ambassador Stevens? Did the President purposely send Ambassador Rice and Secretary Clinton out to lie to the American people while fully knowing what really happened?
The answer is YES: Anyone who says otherwise should write fiction. The President lied to the American people in the 2nd debate when he said he called the murder of Ambassador a terrorist attack the next day in the Rose Garden. What a crock. The President made a general comment about terrorism in the Rose garden and did not say the attack in Benghazi, Libya was a terrorist attack. For 2 weeks after the murder of Ambassador Stevens the administration called it a spontaneous reaction to a video when they (the President and White House) knew it was a terrorist attack. There were NO people demonstrationg in Benghazi only heavily armed militants. The mother of Ambassador Stevens went to the White House and she said on public radio that the President and Leon Panetta lied to her about the events leading up to her sons death. Uncle Bob : the truth is a hard thing to dispute. You sound like an Obama apologist or a used car salesman. The American people won't allow this administration to think they can lie to us and get away with it. We are their bosses, not the other way around.
Vote all these clowns out.
Man of Fibs............man ....of....Fibs!
Aside from Romney being untrustworthy, a liar, and a corporate pawn, I really think more attention needs to be paid to the fact that he has a completely inexperienced kid for a running mate, and if it were up to Romney, then RoeV Wade is gone and the supreme court would be extremely tilted to republicans interests for decades. How on earth is this being missed on folks. How on earth is thei race even close.
What about giggling Joe. He is just plain weird.
Vice President Biden was not giggling, he was laughing at the idiot ryan who lied so much that his nose grew.
How can the GOP/RNC "Pathological Liar and Chief 'personalize' all of his lies?? He should go to Freeport Illinois, and "Super Spew" his lies to the American Workers at Sensata Technologies. They are now unemployed, and they were forced to train Chinese Nationals on US Soil! Polls do not vote. People do! Get out the vote America.
It's really pathetic those people losing their jobs because of Romneys greediness. He has enough money to last several lifetimes. Why does he need more. He is so unbeleiveable with his lies and people are falling for it. Thanks for supporting him. You are making it harder on the rest of us that would not vote for him. God help us all.
Yes Mitt we do not want more of the same Bush disasters. Two Wars, WMD
Lies, Debt, Stock Market Crash, Bank Failure, Unemployment, Housing Market
Crash, Foreclosures. We will not survive another GOP administration.
This country has seen worse under Obama than it ever did under Bush. It will only get worse under Obama. At least the country was still standing when Bush left office. If Obama gets four more years, the country won't be standing when/if he ever leaves office.
while blaming bush read this>>>>>>...
Remember
January 3rd 2007..
The day the
democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009 it was actually January 3rd 2007
the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate,
the start of the 110th Congress. The Democratic Party controlled a majority in
both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
For those
who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is
"Bush's Fault", think about this:
January
3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:
At the
time:
The DOW
Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for
the previous quarter was 3.5%
The
Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George
Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!
Remember
the day...
January
3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services
Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
The
economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the
economy?
BANKING AND
FINANCIAL SERVICES!!!
THANK YOU
DEMOCRATS for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment... to
this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic
loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOS! (BTW: Bush
asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 because
it was financially risky for the US economy).
And who
took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac????
OBAMA
And who
fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie???
OBAMA and
the Democratic Congress
So when
some one tries to blame Bush...
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS
TOOK OVER!" Bush may have been in the car but the Democrats were in charge
of the gas pedal and steering wheel they were driving.
Gordon ...you've ben debunked over and over...it doesn't make lies true by repeating lies....it only shows how low some people will stoop to win....you know like passing voter suppresion laws...and Romney and Ryan lying everyday, then lying again because the other lies didn't take hold!
AFTER WATCHING THIS VIDEO, AM I MISSING SOMETHING ON WHY I SHOULD VOTE FOR MITT ROMNEY???
I'M CONFUSED!!!!
yes you missed the fact that it is a propaganda video. the intention is a scare tactic and you fell for it.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 50% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 46%. Two percent (2%) prefers some other candidate, and two percent (2%) are undecided.
Awe,that's so sweet of you to bring up a Repub poll-Too bad other polls say different !!! Nice ry !!
Yes Marie. There are the Republicapolls and then there are the real polls. :-) I prefer the real polls, thank you!
Latest Time poll has Obama 50%, Romney 44%
Except it was Rasmussen who was closest in 2008.
AND DEAD WRONG 2012!
Obama up 5 % pts in Ohio. That is a poll of likely voters. Keep in mind it does not include people who already have voted and the exit polls from people who have already voted is breaking 60% for President Obama, 30% for Mitt the Twit.
I live in Ohio I am scared as hell what the rethuglicans will do to steal the vote in this state..... Romney should justsay, "Hey I ama selfabsorbed, potentious douchebag, I realize this now and I withdraw from the race because I know there are alot of idiots out there who would vote for me and I do not want to hurt this country by representing it on the world stage. To all my supporters, if your were going to vote for me you must really be stupid and or unAmerican."
So am I Frank.
I live in MN, Obama will win this state.
All I can say is, in the next 12 days try to get people registered and vote early. Get the vote in before election day because there will be lines, delays, and voter suppression tactics going on.
Take someone to the polls on that day.
proud_hispanic,
I question the validity of that poll. However, you are stating a popular vote poll, which means nothing. The election will be decided based on the electoral college vote. Obama is leading in that poll with a 68% chance of being re-elected.
Yea, ya'll better take all Your buds to the polls, and cheat, You still won't stand a chance. Barry is fixing to get a really good spanking. Talk to You libturds after the election, hopefully You don't come rioting in My hood, it won't be healthy !
I'll be here the day after the election bj, will you?
btw what does bj stand for?
One of you just posted that Romney is prudent with finances.....and Obama has done nothing for 4 years. I really wish you would check your facts before posting and repeating the same old drivel we've been hearing Republicans say all this time.
FACT: Romney cashed in on millions with Bain Capitol by dismantling companies, putting thousands out of work, cutting their pay, taking away their pensions and retirement, and bankrupting businesses all over America before sending their jobs overseas. That is fact - look it up. You can YouTube Armpad, for just one of many examples.
FACT: Romney has several offshore bank accounts with undisclosed amounts of money in them. He refuses to share his income tax filings going back more than the current (which by the way, his own attorney said were doctored to be more suitable for sharing with the American public). Romney has money hidden - why? So that he won't have to pay taxes on it. I ask you, how many offshore accounts to you have?
FACT: Since day one of President Obama's win of the presidency (this is going back prior to inauguration day), Republicans began their work to smear his name and made it their TOP AGENDA item - to make sure Obama is a 1-term president. You can watch the videos for yourself; it's been publicly stated many times. Ask yourself why your congress is so hell-bent on voting against 19 jobs bills? Republicans are smart - they know if they control the job market, they control government. Because people that dont check facts or understand why we are in this current state of affairs will vote for more Republicans. Silly and ridiculous that there are so many of you out there that can't or don't undestand what is really happening. Just check your facts. Look up the votes, do some research, stop listening to right wing spin. And for pete's sake, turn off Rush Limbaugh.
FACT: You can see about a ton of bills and legislation the Democrats have put forth, and what have the Republcans done from 2010 - 2011? Worked on how to reclassify what an airplane is called. That's it. Republicans have made a point of voting against anything that will progress America. They have an agenda. They are counting on people being too stupid to get it. And it's working. We see that with every person our there that thinks Romney can lead this country.
FACT: The 12million jobs Romney claims he will create won't be created while he is in office (if he wins). The majority of those jobs will come as a result of current policies under the Obama administration. The studies used Citibank's study which did not include Romneys plan. Which, by the way,. to this day he cannot explain how he will pay for his plan. It does not add up and thats been confirmed through more studies than can be counted.
FACT: I'm not saying both candidates don't have pinnochios, but you have to admit. Romney is unbelievable in the most literal sense. He lies, flat out. He changes his views and says whatever he has to in order to win over the audience he is speaking to. Severl countries were polled and asked who they want to see voted in this year. All but one said President Obama. Do you know which one said Romney? Pakistan. There you go. Romney is extremely bad for foreing policy. Obama has exceptional diplomacy skills, and that is crucial.
I could go on and on, but I guess it won't make a difference. There are too many of you out there that refuse to either vote across party lines or think it's easier to listen to FOX news and follow the crowd. I hope you are around to see the mess you create if Romney wins, because those of us that vote for Obama will be here to remind you.
You're backing Obama by going off of a Citibank study? Isn't that why we're in this mess -- the banks, remember?
PS: The reason unemployment has gone down (according to Obama) is because of things George Bush Jr put in place just before he left office.
Why do people want to wright a booki on here. I am not going to read all that. The whole point is that at least Romney has a plan and Obutwipe does not, and even if he did it is not working.
Poor Mittens...he is such a twit!! No plan and now no personality!!
