Hey Feisty--and what many people seem to forget--or maybe don't know--whenever you put another middleman between services and the people, more money is siphoned off to line their pockets, resulting in less money for services to people. This whole idea of privatizing everything is just a money grab by the uberwealthy!

"We have met the enemy and he is us!" Pogo by Walt Kelly

Dennis?

How about those Ohio polls today? So now that you can't trot out your 'not a single poll shows Mitt in the lead...' any more, what else you got?

And why is it gang that O is so bad at picking winners? Solyndra, Fisker, and now the Detroit Tigers.

Really has a revers midas touch.

Well, at least he's actually on the job today and not campaigning. Lessons from Benghazi I suppose.

Feisty, exactly so. Thanks.

1. RomneyRyan have made it clear they agree with Eric Cantor's position.

2. Last year, Cantor and associates tried to delay aid to disaster areas. He wanted funding BEFORE sending the aid - imagine.

3. President Obama tried to build disaster relief into the budget. He wanted to end the dangerous delays created by Cantor and the Tea Party.

4. Paul Ryan OPPOSED the President's efforts to provide fast aid to disaster areas.

How about a thread on Benghazi

Been there... done that!

Give it a rest!

Spanky,

I know you got it right in WI recall elections, but you and I know that Obama will win the election.

it is a math problem for Romney getting 270 electoral votes. Easier for our President to reach 270.

In all the natural disasters I've witnessed in my life, I've never once thought that the people in whatever state was stricken should be on their own. How can only state resources be used when the state has just had a disaster? How unAmerican is Mitt in his statement? He truly doesn't seem to understand that there are people without the resources to withstand a disaster. There are people for whom missing several days of work means bills won't be paid or food put on the table. And he doesn't think 100% of the American people should help out. Instead he would outsource it. Why should a disaster stop people from making money?

Steeler, There is obviously a disconnect with Romney.

Romney's continuous lying (533 lies over 30 months, and a phenomenal number of lies in the Debates), are serious cause for concern.

Take the Jeep example: Chrysler keeps telling Romney they are NOT sending jobs overseas, but he keeps on telling the LIE on the stump and in ads. Romney is undeterred by the volume of his lies, and does not acknowledge them.

Plenty of folks are calling it sociopathy, and even a strain of autism/Asperger's. The signs are so familiar to those who have to deal with friends/family with such conditions every day.

You got it Feisty!

Willard supporters are as coreless as he is....They do not care about his flip-flopping!

Yup, dismantle FEMA and all government support programs.....Privatize them so Willard and the vultures can harvest the taxpayers money!...Profit is the bottom line!

Northstar - Mitt 53%, O 47%

I've had this for a long time, well before the debates.

It the preference cascade.

BUt it's ok, all the libbies assured me there was no possible way Walker would win, that the 'Sleeper had awakened' and all the jazz.

And of course none of you libbie know anyone who would ever vote for Mitt. :)

And of course none of you libbie know anyone who would ever vote for Mitt. :)

because they're so tolerant and open minded? I however know people voting O, not many but then again my circle of friends arent exclusive unlike our FR libbies that share the same militia style of thinking of 'revolutionary parties'.

Backhouse

Feisty, exactly so. Thanks.

1. RomneyRyan have made it clear they agree with Eric Cantor's position.

Backhouse, Cantor is on his way out.

Mudcat Saunders is going to make sure of that. So is vaginal Probe Bob.

How about a thread on Willard seeking to dismantle & privatize FEMA?

Profiteering off of disasters - that would be the Romney way. Most of society calls that looting, Romney calls it a "green" opportunity. I'm sure he'd love nothing more than to stuff his Cayman Isle accounts full of money after every earthquake, tornado, and hurricane.

Tell us more about that bus with a few canned goods to help with disaster relief from Sandy. What is your 'profit' plan on distributing that aid. That should really help out the 50-60M people impacted by Sandy. Good planning Romney. Disaster aid at its finest. I'll admit, it is a tad improvement over Bush's flyby over the Katrina victims.

Tell us more about that bus with a few canned goods to help with disaster relief

No kidding Red!

Here's you can of Starkist... now piss off you socialists...

Caesar Augustus-

Revolutionary parties Little Caesar Augustus???

As a tea bagger do you have a perchant for 3 prong hats, don't tread on me flags, and guns?

Plenty of folks are calling it sociopathy, and even a strain of autism/Asperger's.

There is definitely something wrong with Willard. It's probably an impossibility to get information on his 'mental well-being'.

It's frightening that this is not being addressed.

i believe they were called tricorne hats, i like guns (have a few how bout you?) and have no problem with Gadsden flag (might look into the significance of it). However you have a penchant for hammers and sickles, servitude to government and 1984

Everything we feared about communism, that we would lose our houses and savings and be forced to labor eternally for meager wages with no voice is the system- has come true under capitalism. now we have a man who wants to take this to the next level. Out sourcing for profit of the few.

Romney collects 10 endorsements to Obama's 1

October 25, 2012 @ 12:05 AM

By the West Virginia Press Association

border joe - Actually if you would like real numbers (I know you like to make up your, they are more fun) of the top 100 major newspapers as of now, President Obama has the endorsement of 34 papers with circulation just over 9 million. Mitt Romney has 28 with circulation just under 5 million.

Facts are a pesky thing.

Oh, you were talking about West Virginia??? Why???

Correction - 'All electoral college...TODAY.'

Just sit back and enjoy the preference cascade.

I know Dennis in Ohio is.

Presidential Polls 2012; Latest Rasmussen Polls Show Romney Leading Three Points Over Obama

By Dexter Keyton, EnStarz | Oct 29, 2012 12:58 AM EDT

The latest presidential polls show Mitt Romney remaining in the lead against President Obama.

As of Sunday, Mitt Romney remains in a three point lead over Barack Obama, according to Rasmussen's daily Presidential poll.

Romney currently has a three point lead with 50 percent of voter support over President Obama with 47 percent. The poll also showed one percent of voters supporting a third-party candidate and one percent still undecided.

The results for Sunday's poll were based on phone interviews over three consecutive nights.

Romney had a four point lead over Obama since before the third debate, but now as the poll fully takes into account voters' opinions of the candidates' performance on the last debate the Republican challenger's lead has diminished slightly.

Currently Romney is attracting more support from his party, with 90 percent of Republican voters, as well as having the lead with voters not affiliated with either party that give him an additional 11 points. Barack Obama has the support of 86 percent of Democrats.

Rasmussen also reports that there is an age gap between voters. Voters under 40 prefer President Obama while those over 40 prefer Romney.

The latest Electoral College projected reports show President Obama leading with 237 Electoral Votes and Romney at 206. In order to become President of the United States, a candidate needs 270 Electoral Votes. With 95 Electoral Votes remaining outside what are considered firmly decided states, the latest toss-up states are Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Wisconsin, Colorado, Iowa, Nevada and New Hampshire.

Latest polling numbers from North Carolina show Romney with a six-point lead. In Pennsylvania Obama's lead over Romney is currently at five points.

Election Day is nearing and each day is becoming more crucial to the candidates' chances of taking the presidency.

you are a meatloaf

Meatloaf of Colin Powell?......ah, I'll take Meatloaf!

After the way Meat Loaf butchered "America The Beautiful" you can have him.

MMMM, meatloaf.

Very tasty.

Spanky-

MMMM, meatloaf.

Very tasty.

Spanky,

But your remarks are tasteless.

u are a meatloaf

you liberal women are all the same. Aint that right Firewalker.

MMMM, meatloaf.

I believe Frank-N-Furter found him tasty as well.

MkeMike,

Thanks for the actual remarks of Romney's during the debate.

wonder what he is sayng today?

Obama/Biden 2012

Federalism gang, it's what's for breakfeast.

But isn't it funny how O told MSNBC this am that his number one priority is now cutting the debt and deficits?

Golly, I wonder if that has anything do do with the national poll numbers?

But don't you all worry about FEMA and money - why they still have thousands of trailers they never used in NO.

A perfect study in government waste. I love that FEMA is now front and center.

Spanky,

I agree, it is federalism front and center today and the rest of the week.

And today Romney said that the federal bus that he was using,and which you so wanted to drive , will be filled with relief supplies. Now old Romney as a state guy and a private sector guy, should just rent some big flat beds, semi etc. and load them up. I am sure he can write it off on his next tax return.

Northstar---if Romney were granting any media interviews we would know what he would say but of course he isn't doing that. His campaign can't trust him to speak and this late in the campaign there might not be enough time to correct whatever he got wrong.

wonder what he is sayng today?

Willard is saying nothing today....He decided to stayoff the campaign trail. Of course if he does open his mouth, it would be all wrong.

Where will he be holding up...maybe he went to California.....far away from Sandy!

What media interviews is Obama doing? Buehler, Buehler,...............

Nope - you are wrong.

I am very confident.

In fact I was reading an article comparing this to the 1992 election. Bush at the end was doing three things that are quite interesting:

1. He was touting trust - he was the Commander in Chief; and

2. he pinched out 'The Agenda' - under pressure for a plan for 2nd term;

3. He was making juvenile remarks about Clinton, which was very un-presidential.

In any event confidence is not determinitive, but you are incorrect that no one has it.

Spanky-

Good for you. Doesn't mean you actually know squat, but it must feel good to be so certain of something that hasn't happened yet. My wife also feels that she has the ability to predict the future, and I humor her too. Heck, she is right ALMOST half the time...

Perhaps you prefer;

Anyone confident that they know the outcome of the election today is thinking with their heart and has a 50% chance of fooling themselves...not to mention how they will feel next Wednesday...

Psst: Bev. - Mitt 'contributed' over $2 million last year alone.

So when you say 'very little' I wonder, could you explain?

Oh and bye the bye - O has some money parked oversees also.

Whoops.

Spanky- Psst: Bev. - Mitt 'contributed' over $2 million last year alone.

Reportedly Willards returns indicated he gave 4+ million but ony claimed/deducted 2 million so that his tax rate would stay palatable....Which of course it isn't!

Generous Willard, he'll come back later and deduct the amount he didn't claim!

Beverly in Chicago, more leftist media filling your head with the spin of words. He did say dismatle, he said turn it over to the states. He he did say privatize, when is that such a bad thing.

Name one government program that has not cost tax payer money and has produced a positive outcome. (what out now this a tricky one).
