This campaign is going downhill -

the man of big change eh? try the truth mitt. show us your tax returns, your investment portfolios eh? nah, not a chance Mitt. hey paulie boy, softening your tone eh? not talking about your emasculation of the middle class are you paulie boy? you want change folks, try on these diapers - he will change health care and make it worse. he will guy social security, and you will need to pay in 250k and be 81 to get your deserved pension. he will spend more money on defense than the entire world? 232 ships just isn't enough folks. he will stack the supreme court with activists, not impartial jurists and bye bye womens rights vis a vis roe v wade. education will go by the wayside as privatize becomes the operative word. the list of his great changes goes on and on, but what will not change are - the tax breaks for millionaires like Mitt, or banning lobbyists from congressional contact, term limits for congressmen, a measured way to decrease the budget, and the introduction, finally, of KArl Rove as the new mastermind for the future of the USA.

if you like this folks vote for this sob and i will emigrate out of the soon to be failed US of A

Obama/Biden 2012

Vote Obama / Biden 2012. If Romney wins there are those who are salivating and chomping at the bit for another opportunity to rape and pillage for the almighty dollar and think about little else other than their own position, that Romney's policies will unleash and permit to exploit again!

It is this unmitigated morass and mess that President Obama has been trying to navigate and rectify with zero, I repeat, zero Republican support throughout his entire term in office. For those in the 99% voting for Romney, it will be the 2nd greatest mistake middle-class America has made since voting George W. Bush in for another term in office in 2004, should Romney be elected.

These attacks on President Obama's health care legislation by citing the health care in Canada as a failed system are really scurrilous and an effort to misinform. How long do you think the Canadian system would survive if Canadian citizens did not like it? Canadians are not zombies and neither are the citizens in Britain/Germany/France/Norway/Sweden/Switzerland with apologies to all of the remaining first world countries which long ago decided healthy citizens were a personal right and a national asset. Yeesh!

You better believe there would be "Big Change".

However I don't think us average Americans need worry.

If everyone can put their racism aside and their mythysm (Obama will TAKE YOUR GUN!) etc. etc. etc. you might find that Mr. Obama is the man that will do the most for you and your children.

I am a Democrat, work for a big company (thank goodness) and own 17 guns that I shoot often but not as often as I'd like to and I'm voting for Mr. Obama.

I can't imagine anyone who wants the United States of America to move forward NOT voting for Mr. Obama.

But in any case, just make sure you vote for the candidate of your choice.......

Romney is a shadow, a forever moving mist with no substance. The GOP is a very sad, sad political party and will be voted out of office for being stupid.

"big change"- sure, big change back to Bush plan to screw the economy and more wars...same rhetoric (depending on which lying cheating version you think you are voting for), same advisors. No one should be stupid enough to fall for this flim flam sketchy conman.

"Big Change"? Going back to Bush?................No thanks.

Yes, but the changes won't be good for women, minorities, or anyone making < $250k/year.

you can't imagine what it is like to live in Ohio these past six months and be inundated with the sheer volume of campaign appeals. It is mind boggling!! Confessions of a swing state voter:

Big changes of one's mind gain nothing. You need a plan, my friend.

Romnesia Epidemic

Bush First Term:

1. 9/11
2. War against everyone in Afghanistan
3. Completely unnecessary war with Iraq
4. Huge deficit spending

Bush second term

1. Wars rage on
2. Deficit balloons
3. International Wall Street based economic collapse
4. Cheney rolls out torture, violating international laws introduced by the U.S.

Obama first term

1. Collapse damage finally halted after three months
2. Republicans vow to stop all recovery legislation
3. Stock market recovers while Europe still struggles
4. America steps toward the civilized world and cost reductions of the Affordable Health Care Law, despite Republican opposition and the tentacles of the insurance lobby.
5. War in Iraq ended - second longest war in U.S. history ends. Mission finally accomplished
6. War in Afghanistan refocused on Al Queda and more than two dozen terrorist leaders killed, including Osama Bin Laden. Longest war in U.S. history begins winding down
7. Thirty-one straight months of weak job growth as economy struggles with recession damage
8. Republicans blame President Obama for all the debt and unemployment triggered under their administration
9. Romney vows to reinstate the Bush economic fiasco with the same advisors and Neocon war mongers return to his campaign
10. Nation faces the prospect of another war, continuing and increased deficits, and economic folly if Romney is elected. Romney adopts continually changing policies and "secret" plans, perhaps no plan at all
11. Republicans eagerly look forward to war, debt, and economic destruction of the middle class under the third neocon/TP Reich.

I can see a Romney presidency now. The first thing he would do, when he awakens at 10 or 11:00 each morning and has his butler bring him his coffee and juice, is to spin the wheel which has all of the positions that he has taken on various issues over the past 20 years to determine which Romney we will get today. Vote for Romney??? You might just as well take everything you have accumulated during your life and put it on one spin of a roulette table in Vegas.

Romney: Believe in Nothing

"BIG CHANGE," says Romney if he gets elected. Those are the only two words he has said that I believe, since he has run for office of the president.

Big Change all right when it comes to women! If any women has bought the false bill of goods Romney is selling, you will in no doubt suffer from voting for that flip-floper. To put YOUR TRUSTt in Romney when he says Roe v. Wade and Obamacare will be replealed, just how are all of you, including young women to senior ladies, and widows going to get by economically after he takes away all the medical decision rights you have now, plus preventative care and your right of equal pay in the workplace.

Romney and Ryan, who is a Catholic believes in the same agenda right along with Atkin and Merddock, whom Romney endorces. Merddock is the only congressmen Romney continues to endorse. So you have to know Romney believes what Merdock meant about rape.

It is my bet that every Catholic church is telling their congregations to vote for Romney. The Catholic preaches no contraception practices to members, including no abortions.

Women do not need the men in government or any clergy to govern what to do when it comes to your personal sex life and medical decisions, whether you are single or married, no matter how old you are.

If "Big Change" is turning 180-degrees back to the Bush trickle-down, rich-get-richer economic policies - then Mitt's your guy! By the way, why doesn't "the Don" offer Mitt $500 million to show us his tax returns for the last 10 years!?!?

Big change? Maybe Wrong Change? Definately.

You see, Mitt, most folk in Ohio don't work for Lockheed Martin or Raytheon, so your plan to grow the military to create jobs just isn't going to affect enough of us to make a difference.

Now if your five-point plan addressed the astromical cost of gasoline and diesel, which would lower the cost of operating farm equipment, which would lower the cost of food, you might have made a difference.

But it doesn't, thus Ohio must vote blue for its survival, because a vote Red means our economy is dead.

I voted yesterday and it wasn't for Mr. Romney. I have several friends who've informed me they've made up their minds and hint, hint, they voting for the "other fellow"

:)

Big Change? I think he means CHUMP change. Let's change and I'll tell you what the plan is later...

I also have some swampland in Florida that I want to sell you. I will repeal everything on my 1st day in office and I will replace it with something. I will tell you later....

LOL. People really believe this? Then again, we did elect GW Bush for 2 terms. Clueless Americans we are!!!

"Big change"?? WOW! Romney is not only finally calling his campaign what it is, and is now attempting capitalize on his reputation as the etch a sketch guy afflicted with Romnesia.

The 1% don't care what he says as long as he wiins as they know in protecting his own interests he will protect theirs above all else's.

However, that the rest of his supporters do not see this as his joke on them is beyond belief.

He is now is making painting his flip flopping as a positive attribute. I suppose he figures that since so many seem to think that his inability to stick to any one position on anything for more than a day is what they want to see in a President......after all if not why else would they continue to support him?
So, he has decided to give them what they want.....CHANGE.....every single day.

This way, if he does manage to be elected when he behaves true to form and contunes to do an about face on everything he has every said to bamboozle them into electing him, he can for once honestly claim that he never pretended otherwise.

Change is what they want, change is what they will get.....and heaven help us all.

Big CHANNNGGEEE huh Romney? BULL@!$%#E! Same old song and dance.

You'll piss on the people without even having the tact of calling it RAIN.

You're too scary to be the President. Just like Palin, just way out of touch

and pro big business / Israel. More war, more bad.

You know Hitler promised big change too. So did all of the dictators. I think the big changes will hit American women the most, because we have the most to lose. If you don't think so, look up the big changes that the Taliban brought to Afganistan. Women of America - wake the hell up and take a real look at these guys! Rape is okay? Come on, do you really want a President who thinks that you are a second class citizen? If this gay and his idiots win, there will be big changes starting in your neighborhoods, families, and probably your marriages.

Want change?

Vote yes for a Congress that is focused on national success.

Vote NO to those asking for your vote that obstructed, filibustered and voted NO as "public service".

On the Letterman show, asked why he made the offer, Trump replied: "Transparency. Does that make sense to anybody?"

Are you kidding me???? The surrogate for the guy that won't release more than a summary of two years worth of tax returns is talking about transparency?????

It is amazing, incredible duplicity.
