Caged animals always fight the inevitable...that they are caught!

Obama's dismal record is doing much more attacking than Mitt... just sayin!

h/t The Obama Diary:

Romney seeing Obama and Christie together is tearing him apart.

DES MOINES (The Borowitz Report)—A new Mitt Romney is emerging in the closing days of the campaign, aides say: a man who is increasingly “being eaten alive with jealousy” by President Obama’s budding relationship with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

While Mr. Romney has told reporters that he is “totally fine” with Gov. Christie flying around in a helicopter with President Obama, privately he has told aides, “Seeing him with Chris Christie is tearing me apart.”

The trouble began earlier this week, a Romney aide said, when Mr. Romney saw Mr. Christie on CNN mention that President Obama “had given him his number at the White House.”

“Mitt was like, ‘Fine, whatever, do we have to watch this?’ and then basically ran out of the room,” the aide said. “It was completely awkward.”

Making matters worse, the aide said, “Chris Christie isn’t returning his calls.”

“Mitt was trying to explain his position on FEMA to reporters yesterday and he got all excited because his phone started vibrating,” the aide said. “It turned out it was just Ann.”

Mr. Romney, who has been seen doodling Chris Christie’s name in the margins of his briefing books in recent days, has apparently decided on a new course of action: to make the New Jersey governor jealous.

“He’s been calling [New York Governor Andrew] Cuomo,” the aide said. “But Cuomo won’t call him back either. It’s all so sad.”

Pat, I'm just waiting for the "Gov. Christie is nothing but a RINO" wailing from the wingnuts.

HEY DONT CARRY IT ALL...

they decide to run despicable ads in

ARE YOU SERIOUS? WHAT ABOUT THE FOUL MOUTHED RIDICULOUS ADS OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE SHOWING????

http://www.examiner.com/article/moveon-org-advocates-violence-against-romney-profanity-laced-ad

privately he has told aides, “Seeing him with Chris Christie is tearing me apart.”

Poor Willard.....his BFF knows what he has to do for the folks devasted by hurricane Sandy and he can't stand it......Guess he thinks Christie should have stuck with the 'personal responsibility' thingy!

Willard is jealous.......lol

Al, nothing in that article to indicate Romney was happy Christie and Obama together, were working to see NJ residents get all they need. This was a devastating storm yet Romney is only thinking of himself.

An ad ran last night here in Boston with Colin Powell endorsing President Obama. It was terrific.

David Axelrod

David Plouffe

Jim Messina

OFA

They have no idea how much they have done together to change our country in under 4 years.

I hope you all got a chance to see Lawrence O'Donnell last night wherein Romney campared cleaning up a football stadium after a game with cleaning up after a deadly hurricane.

The segment for me reflected a final kick in the gut to Romney's ignorance.

Back on the attack? When was he off the attack? The creep took all of one day off the campaign trail and then, with his nasty smile was shopping at Walmart in the wee hours buying props so that he could appear to be helping the victims of Sandy. The man is nothing but a charletan, only looking out for himself. The man's wife Should be ashamed of her husband, but we all know that she only sees getting into that WH so she can be the supreme queen. We have got to stand solid and make sure that we get the President re-elected!

Pat: I listened to Romney compare cleaning up beer cups and hot dog wrappers off a football field to that of the cleanup of Sandy's massive devastation. This is who people want to be president? Fools.

Obama/Biden! OH YES WE WILL!

FOURWARD!

Hey Ticked Off -- WHAT part of the word CAMPAIGN do you not understand? Romney's CAMPAIGN has stooped to a RECORD LOW.

That link you provided talks about some OUTSIDE GROUP not a CAMPAIGN.

Meanwhile, Romney's CAMPAIGN and ROMNEY HIMSELF continue to show their IGNORANCE when it comes to foreign policy matters.

The real question for many on the fence is "do they hate Obama more than the plain old common sense that tells them that Romney is a lying snake oil salesman?". For four years the right wing has been trying to destroy Obama- and to Joe Sixpack that means Obama must be bad. The common man does not understand the base venality that is at the core of that hatred- it seems so ideological- in reality it is merely about dollars. You see my friends, that is the real God of the right wing-money.

"Facebook recently suspended a group because they challenged Obama about his Benghazi cover-up.

Evidently free speech in America is only free if you express liberal views."

Not really going to check whether this is really accurate or not, because frankly I don't care all that much if people get their panties in a wad because they got banned from a social media site. But as to your larger point, you are wrong. The First Amendment protects you from government retaliation against what you say. It doesn't protect you from the ramifications of your speech by private individuals or companies, as long as those individuals or companies are not breaking the law.

That is why you are allowed to boycott the Dixie Chicks and I am allowed to boycott Hank Williams Jr. Facebook is allowed to ban whoever they want to ban. They are allowed to do it for whatever reason they want to do it as long as the reason isn't discriminatory.

'Republicans' are not a protected group, no matter how much you'd like them to be.

Yes, Pat, Lawrence O has such great tidbits about Willard. That 'cleaning up the football field' thingy that Willard was so proud of just goes to further show how out of touch he really is.

Actually, it's more like he is disconnected from reality......


Ok lets take a real look at the numbers.

When Nixon-Ford left office the national debt was......-$653,000,000,000.00

When Carter left office the national debt was.............-$930,000,000,000.00

When Reagan left office the national debt was..........-$2,000,000,000,000.00

When Bush 1 left office the national debt was...........-$4,000,000,000,000.00

When Clinton left office there was a surplus of.........+$127,000,000,000.00

When Bush 2 left office the national debt was..........-$12,000,000,000,000.00

At the end of Obama's 1st term the national debt.....-$16,000,000,000,000.00

is a reduction from 1.5 trillion a year under

Bush 2 to 1 trillion a year for Obama's 1st term.

This is a reduction of one half trillion per year.

The economy was in free fall hemorrhaging 700,000

jobs a month, and spiraling into a second great

Depression. Obama stopped the free fall and the

Economy is turning around and improving. While not

at the rate everyone would like to see, it is a

whole lot better than the failed policies to which

Romney wants to return.

Clinton left us with a small surplus after the deficits

the previous administrations left us. Bush 2 annihilated

the surplus and had us back in debt as fast as he could,

stripping the nations wealth and putting much of it in the

hands of his cohorts leaving us with a debt of 12 trillion

dollars.

Obama has it going in the right direction and is slowing

the increase in our national debt.

I ask you, do you really want to return to the failed

policies that put us in this hole?

Bush ran us at 150% rate of our current deficit spending,

do we really want to return to these policies?

Do we want to move backward, both financially and socially,

or do we want to continue to move forward?

Can't Afford no more: Really? Is that the best you can do? LOL

GET OUT AND VOTE, BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE VOTE DOES COUNT!

VOTE OBAMA!

DON'T LET REPUBLICANS SUPPRESS THE VOTE!

Antistupidity - great post but unfortunately the people who will read and understand it are already voting Obama. The others don't give a damn and will - stupidly - vote Romney against their own best interests.

Obama/Biden 2012

Romney seeing Obama and Christie together is tearing him apart.

Delusion at it's best.

Sure it irritates a lot of the Right, but a lot of the others think Obama off the campaign trail is a good thing.

Obama's comment about them having to prioritize better, sorry that is long established and the follow it to the letter.

Same thing with Cuomo.

It would have better to say, I see you are behind is there something I can do to get more equipment and manpower to you? Then again, the answer to that is already we have all the crews and equipment we can get from outside the area and the state.

What people accept as leadership is pathetic.

Pat,

My husband commented during that segment on LOD that even THEN Romney didn't show LEADERSHIP, he just asked to be told what to do.

I think his entire persona is an illusory MYTH. He didn't risk his OWN money to start Bain, he didn't put the middle class ahead of his RAIDING decisions. In fact, his entire life is about buying and selling things. Inanimate things. Stocks, companies, politicians.

How shameful AND embarassing, to watch it all come down to THIS!

Remain calm and Obama ON!

Romney: Able to break the gridlock?

“Just about everybody agrees Washington is a gridlocked mess. But who’s the man to fix it? After two years of brawling and brinkmanship between President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans, more voters trust Mitt Romney to break the stalemate, an Associated Press-GfK poll shows,” the AP writes. “Romney’s message — a vote for Obama is a vote for more gridlock — seems to be getting through. Almost half of likely voters, 47 percent, think the Republican challenger would be better at ending the logjam, compared with 37 percent for Obama.”

“Mitt Romney on Wednesday stepped up his support of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, further rebuffing accusations that he would end funding for disaster relief if elected president,” the Boston Globe says. Romney said in a statement: “I believe that FEMA plays a key role in working with states and localities to prepare for and respond to natural disasters. As president, I will ensure FEMA has the funding it needs to fulfill its mission, while directing maximum resources to the first responders who work tirelessly to help those in need, because states and localities are in the best position to get aid to the individuals and communities affected by natural disasters.”

His campaign though walked a fine line: “Governor Romney believes that states should be in charge of emergency management in responding to storms and other natural disasters in their jurisdictions,” said Amanda Henneberg, a Romney campaign spokeswoman. “As the first responders, states are in the best position to aid affected individuals and communities and to direct resources and assistance to where they are needed most. This includes help from the federal government and FEMA.”

During the GOP primary when he said this about federal funding for disasters in a debate: “Every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that’s the right direction. And if you can go even further, and send it back to the private sector, that’s even better.”

But: “George Haddow, a private disaster relief consultant and former deputy chief of staff at FEMA during the 1990s, said Romney’s vision for FEMA sounds like that of former President George W. Bush, who was criticized for the government’s slow response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. ‘The problem is it doesn’t reflect the reality of major disasters,’ Haddow said.”

Haley Barbour on FOX: “The biggest change in the race is to Obama’s favor — and that's been this storm.” He added that he’d be “surprised if he doesn’t make a little bit of a comeback here.” He even said the storm was “like manna from heaven” for Obama.

“By the second rally at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, [Romney’s] surrogates appeared ready for something more combative,” USA Today’s Kucinich writes. “As the Red Cross donation number beamed near him, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., slammed the president's foreign policy. ‘Remember, and he went to Egypt to apologize, to tell the world that the United States was going to be humbler and mellower and that, frankly, we are so sorry for the sacrifices of the Americans for generations,’ he said. ‘Well, now — now Egypt is controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood. Now, in Libya, they murder our ambassador, kill three other brave Americans, and the president is nowhere to be found to answer what happened.’

“Later, [Jeb] Bush, who at the first rally had focused on the changes Romney would make to the country for the better, said the president was more focused on shifting the blame than bringing people together. ‘His entire strategy is to blame others — starting with my brother, of course,’ he said, referring to former president George W. Bush. ‘Basically, he blames every possible thing rather than having the humility to be able to reach out and to find common ground.’”

Despite GM criticizing the Jeep ad, Romney’s campaign defended it. Adviser Kevin Madden said the ad "makes the case for why Gov. Romney would be stronger for the auto industry and why the auto industry's an important part of a strong economy."

REMAIN CALM AND OBAMA ON!

Independent Thought:

Nobody cares, man. Move on, brother. Move on.

FIRST READ????? Where did this post go from this a.m.??????

Drop the bone sweetie... it hasn't moved!

Updated as of 1:00pm EST on Thursday, November 1 (Happy All Souls Day!):

With only 107 hours left to go in the 2012 presidential campaign, Real Clear Politics has Obama leading in eight of their eleven toss-up states with Romney leading in three.

In descending order of 'percentage of lead' in favor of Obama, followed in ascending order of 'percentage of lead' in favor of Romney, here are the published averaged numbers from RCP as of 1:00pm EST together with the most recent FiveThirtyEight election night probabilities of victory for either candidate:

In PENNSYLVANIA, with 20 electoral votes, Obama's lead has dropped slightly to 4.6%, down from Tuesday's 4.7%. Nonetheless, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 95.5% chance of victory here, up 1.3% from Tuesday.

In WISCONSIN, with 10 electoral votes, Obama's lead has fallen to 3.7%, down from yesterday's 4.0%. Nonetheless, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 88.0% chance of victory here, up a significant 2.3% from Tuesday.

In MICHIGAN, with 16 electoral votes, Obama's lead has fallen to 3.0%, down significantly from Tuesday's 4.0%. However, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 98.4% chance of victory here, up 0.3% from Tuesday.

In NEVADA, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 2.7%, up from yesterday's 2.4%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 85.2% chance of victory here, up a substantial 5.5% from Tuesday.

In OHIO, with 18 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 2.3%, up slightly from Tuesday's 2.1%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 79.9% chance of victory here, up a substantial 6.6% from Tuesday.

In IOWA, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 2.2%, up from yesterday's 1.3%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 78.4% chance of victory winning here, up a significant 4.5% from Tuesday.

In NEW HAMPSHIRE, with 4 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 1.3%, up from yesterday's 1.0%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 75.2% chance of victory here, up a substantial 4.9% from Tuesday.

In COLORADO, with 9 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 0.6%, up from Tuesday's tie. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 62.6% chance of victory here, up a substantial 7.2% from Tuesday.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

In VIRGINIA, with 13 electoral votes, Romney's lead has risen to 0.5%, up from Tuesday's tie. Interestingly, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 6.3% chance of victory here, up a significant 3.1% from Tuesday.

In FLORIDA, with 29 electoral votes, Romney's lead has fallen to 1.2%, down slightly from Tuesday's 1.3%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Romney a 58.8% chance of victory here, down a substantial 5.9% from Tuesday.

In NORTH CAROLINA, with 15 electoral votes, Romney's lead has risen to 3.8%, up from Tuesday's 3.0%. FiveThirtyEight continues to give Romney an 80.8% chance of victory here.

So...

All in all, while Romney's polling percentages in five of the eleven toss-ups has improved over the past two days, his chance of winning in four of these six (Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Virginia) has actually declined. This curious development is a function of Romney losing the race against the clock where his gains are simply not occurring quickly enough to make a difference.

In any case, in order for Obama to win re-election the least complex route appears to be through maintaining his current lead in the five toss-up states where his existing margins are widest (Pennsylvania at 4.6%, Wisconsin at 3.7%, Michigan at 3.0%, Nevada at 2.7%, and Ohio at 2.3%). Doing so would bring his electoral vote total on Election Day to 271. In this scenario, Obama could still surpass 270 while failing to hold Iowa, New Hampshire, and Colorado.

However, should Obama fail to hold Ohio, the loss could effectively be neutralized by any of the following combination of wins from states where FiveThirtyEight is currently predicting Obama victories:

Path #1: Obama loses Ohio but wins Iowa, New Hampshire, and Colorado resulting in 272 electoral votes.

Path #2: Obama loses Ohio but steals Virginia while also taking New Hampshire, Iowa, or Colorado resulting in 270, 272, or 275 electoral votes, respectively.

Interestingly, with Romney's lead having diminished significantly in Florida over the past two weeks and with Hurricane Sandy forcefully highlighting the stark contrast between the candidates regarding the value and necessity if not the mere existence of FEMA in a state which has perhaps the greatest dependence on federal storm relief efforts in the nation, a 3rd path has now emerged which could provide for some interesting election night television:

Path #3: Obama comes from behind to win Florida. This scenario would require only that Obama win the three states in which his present leads are widest (Pennsylvania at 4.6%, Wisconsin at 3.7%, and Michigan at 3.0%), resulting in 276 electoral votes.

For Romney to unseat Obama, he not only would have to hold the three states in which he presently leads, Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia bringing his electoral vote total to 248, but also steal a victory in Colorado where Obama's lead rose today to 0.6% and in Ohio where Obama's lead yesterday settled at 2.3%. By so doing, Romney's electoral vote total would reach 275.

Should Romney fail to steal Ohio he could overcome this shortfall by capturing the four other states in which Obama's current leads are smallest (Colorado at 0.6%, New Hampshire at 1.3%, Iowa at 2.2%, and Nevada at 2.7%) resulting in an electoral vote total of 273.

FiveThirtyEight this morning estimates the chance of Election Day victory for each candidate as follows: Obama 79.0% (up from yesterday's 77.4%) and Romney 21.0% (down from yesterday's 22.6%).

FiveThirtyEight also projects that on Election Day the final electoral tally will be as follows: Obama 300 (up from yesterday's 299) and Romney 238 (down from yesterday's 239).

Lastly, although it makes no difference in terms of the final result which can only be determined by the Electoral College, FiveThirtyEight currently predicts a national popular vote distribution on Election Day as follows: Obama 50.5% (up from yesterday's 50.4%) and Romney 48.6% (also up from yesterday's 48.5%).

With only 107 hours of campaigning left, the fog finally appears to be lifting on this one.

Ticked off -- Again, what part of the word CAMPAIGN eludes you?

My post is about what ROMNEY"S campaign is doing.

CantAffordNoMore - no one expected you to understand facts - after all, you support Romney.

Independent Thought - I think it's funny you'd repost something that so clearly shows Romney never takes a stand he doesn't change.

MSNBCMFE - I believe the surprise will be Florida - which after seeing President Obama yesterday and the joke that Romney is - will go for Obama. They know their chances of a major storm in the next 4 years is significant and who wants to count on the etch-a-sketch man to decide if he'll bother to help or not! Florida is going to be a BIG surprise for Romney as it goes for Obama.

Expose' on the non-partisan Mass Gov that never was:

And romney never was off the trail..he just FAKED a Charity event with salted food donations from his campaign and played his videos and handed out brochures....He mentioned the Financial loss before loss of lives or lively hoods! Vacuous disonnect fool and liar!

@ CantAffordNoMore

Antistupidty, your screen name is an oxymoron after that post. Under obama's current policies the projected natl debt wlll exceed 20 trillion dollars by the end of 2015..

Which is a vast amount better than it would be returning to the idiocy of the previous administration which would be 22 Trillion, if staying in proportion

You FAIL. Basic arithmetic, something the republicans are trying to rewrite, unfortunately for them math is an absolute.

CantAffordNoMore

Poor Alaskagirl, must be hard on ya living in a RED state where you vote is meaningless :(

can'taffordanymoreeducation------

I'm a Dem living in the second reddest state---Idaho. I participate in the electorial process even though my vote doesn't mean much. But that's not the point. The point is I make myself heard by my participation. I'm fine with that.

Does this jerk Romney ever tell the people what he knows or his plans to run the nation?

All he's been doing is attacking and mocking others..that pal is not going to make you the president of the USA!

My husband commented during that segment on LOD that even THEN Romney didn't show LEADERSHIP, he just asked to be told what to do

Clara, this is exactly why republicans here in MA don't support Romney. He showed zero interest in leadership. I got a bit of a heads up from the GOP here when Romney won the nomination.

They told me - watch what happens - Romney will not bring the GOP together . He will do just the opposite and the GOP will lose big because of him.

And when you see people like Col. Larry Wilkerson and Gen. Colin Powell and Susan Eisenhower and many many other republicans coming out to say they won't vote for Romney, republicans will say they saw it coming from a mile away.

They were right on.

Antistupidity

Ok lets take a real look at the numbers.

When Nixon-Ford left office the national debt was......-$653,000,000,000.00

When Carter left office the national debt was.............-$930,000,000,000.00

When Reagan left office the national debt was..........-$2,000,000,000,000.00

When Bush 1 left office the national debt was...........-$4,000,000,000,000.00

When Clinton left office there was a surplus of.........+$127,000,000,000.00

When Bush 2 left office the national debt was..........-$12,000,000,000,000.00

At the end of Obama's 1st term the national debt.....-$16,000,000,000,000.00

Antistupidity...

You are either stupid OR a complete liar twisting numbers and mixing concepts to meet your needs.

The country did NOT have a DEBT surplus when Clinton left office!

The country had a BUDGET surplus when Clinton left office. THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE!

In September of 2000 (just before the election that brought GW Bush to office and saw Clinton leave) the US National Debt stood at

Here are the details: http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/histdebt/histdebt_histo5.htm

U.S. National Debt

09/30/2010 was
13,561,623,030,891.79

09/30/2009 was
11,909,829,003,511.75

09/30/2008 was
10,024,724,896,912.49

09/30/2007 was
9,007,653,372,262.48

09/30/2006 was
8,506,973,899,215.23

09/30/2005 was
7,932,709,661,723.50

09/30/2004 was
7,379,052,696,330.32

09/30/2003 was
6,783,231,062,743.62

09/30/2002 was
6,228,235,965,597.16

09/30/2001 was
5,807,463,412,200.06

09/30/2000 was
5,674,178,209,886.86

SO.... which is it? Are you STUPID (not anti-stupid) or just a flat out liar?

:-)

BTW...

Did anyone notice that (from the US Treasury) the NATIONAL DEBT grew from

10,024,724,896,912.49 in September of 2008 (that's just over 10T in Bush's last year... right before the election)

to 13,561,623,030,891.79 (that's just over 13.5T in the first two years into Obama's first term)

to over 16.223T now?

Has anyone noticed that?

That means that Bush grew the debt from 5.67T to 10.02T in 8 years

and Obama grew the debt from 10.02T to 16.22T in just 4 years.

Who did the worse job here people?

:OP

Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL said:

Big mistake on his part, in a time of crises, the country unites rather than divides!

So you are giving Biden a pass for being an attack dog for the last three days? BTW Romney pulled attack ads for a few days and postponed his campaign. That is what most people call no attacks, but you just want people to stop talking about how the economy still stinks, unemployment is way too high, too many people who are forced to use food stamps, unemployment and disability, deficit is too high, and how Obama told the military to stand down and let four Americans die in Benghazi. Maybe you want to talk about Big Bird and Romnesia, but the rest of us want to talk about what really matters.

America loses again if either Mitt or Obama is elected. All they do is work against each other and play the blame game. We need a Third party to come in and force the other parties to work more together. The Independent party stands the best chance if we all vote this way.

BTW Romney pulled attack ads for a few days and postponed his campaign.

That's a flat out lie, flat out. Neither campaign pulled back on any ads.

Anti Stupidity

IF you only believe a Republican, you will always elect a Republican. If you only believe a Democrat, you will aways elect a Democrat.

Boy did you foul that post up.

First off, a president cannot spend one nickel unless approved by Congress. Second, Bush only signed a continuing Resolutions to fund the Fed for 2009 Through March. From March on, Obama not only signed off on the excessive spending Bush vetoed but added his stimulus funds to the budget numbers. The only vetoes Bush ever used was in his last 2 years under the democrat. Almost everyone one was them spending more than he asked for.

Second off, If there was a true budget surplus as recorded, then the national debt would have decreased. Seeing as We were supposed to have an overall budget surplus for 4 years and Federal budget surplus for 2 years, explain why the national debt increased.

Year US Debt Increase in debt

1994 $4.692 Trillion $281 Billion

1995 $4.973 Trillion $281 Billion

1996 $5.224 Trillion $250 Billion

1997 $5.413 Trillion $188 Billion

1998 $5.526 Trillion $113 Billion

1999 $5.656 Trillion $130 Billion

2000 $5.674 Trillion $ 18 Billion

2001 $5.807 Trillion $133 Billion

2002 $5.228 Trillion $420 Billion

That's right, there was no paying down the debt, only decreasing how much debt was accumulating.

Neither party is very responsible, but the last times a budget was pass with a lower amount than what the President Requested was from 1996 - 2001. 1995 resulted in the Federal Government shutting down.

Who did that? The Republicans And bill because The republicans cut the social spending more than Clinton would allow.

Ok for those of you that yell under Obama the debt will reach 20T by 2016. Let me ask this question, what would be the debt under Romney by 2016? The answer would be the same except Seniors and the poor would be less supported.

As far as annual deficits, I guess if you dont see that continuing now what is now one war rather than two with the Bush tax cuts still in place as the main contributing factor then you really dont understand finance and economics. Its like having your spouse run up credit card debt then you catching the blame for having less to spend because you have to pay for that bill.

The bottom line is that a tax cut should have never occured while maintainig 2 wars! Bush is the only President in history that has that distinction. Spend more on war with less revenue due to his tax cuts. I could see your point if the two wars were finished when Obama took office but since they were still going on and now finally dwindling down you're point is inaccurate.

I simply love all of the rombot, faux news sheeple, drudge report reading, rush limbag listeners and sha hannite interprestations of facts, history and current events. You are all so wonderfully facile that I can't help but smile... but then I remember that your vote counts as much as a well-informed, intelligent and educated voter. You are so easily duped by the right wing media that it is simply astounding that you own a computer and that you can type.

Dont_carry_it_all

Just when you thought the Romney campaign couldn't get any lower, they decide to run despicable ads in Florida as well. These guys are THAT desperate and It SHOWS.

Despicable ads? Really? Nothing that compares to Obama’s little tramp equating voting with giving up her virginity and a bunch of elders using profanity and threatening Mr. Romney. Before you start, you should probably make sure your own house is clean.

Liberals must live in a make-believe fantasy world.

The race carelectoral passions is again making a comeback in the liberal world. Is it necessary for them to stir up electora passions, justify outcomes and explain away inconvenient truths?se

What happened to those people who voted for Obama in '08? Did they suddenly become racist or have they lost confidence in Obama four years later? Obama had a 70% approval rating early in his administration. Did those people now opposing him suddenly become racist?

No one questions why 95% of blacks support the president. Is it racial, or is it simply that more African-Americans happen to be Democrats?

If Obama loses, and it looks as if he may, will it be his own un-doing or because the white electorate haven't moved beyond race, even though the majority of white voters elected him in '08?

justicenonexistent - Romney is continuing his ads full of nothing but lies and deception but you excuse him because - hey, he's only lying, right????

Pathetic little Republican - try to buy some integrity - it's definite Romney has none!

1funnygirl(not even close) you clearly live in a fantasy world but will have to come back to reality 11/7/2012 when our President is re-elected.

Obama/Biden 2012 for real leadership instead of the etch-a-sketch boy

just -- I don't watch ads of any kind. You should try doing the same if they offend your sense of sensibility.

Do you want four more years like the last four years? ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY MR. Romney!

Is it just me or do the ditto-heads seem kind sad and pitiful today? Do you think it's finally sunk in that they are going to lose this election and they are just trying to think of something relevant or nasty to say in the face of their second rejection by the voters of America?

NAAAAH! Rush Limbaugh can't make any money ($400 million over four years) if the ditto head GOP bows to the wishes of the American people and becomes more main-stream.

There is something tragically wrong when your standard bearers are Sara Palin, Michelle Bachman, Christine O'Donnel and a tired-looking, 65 year old Mormon former Governor who can't even carry his home state.

Give it up folks, it's time to step into the 21st Century along with the rest of us.

Obama/Biden 2012

The country can't afford to keep Obama.

Vote Romney/Ryan 2012

SickOfTheBickering

Are you STUPID (not anti-stupid) or just a flat out liar?

Are you calling me a Romney?

CantAffordNoMore

Poor Alaskagirl, must be hard on ya living in a RED state where you vote is meaningless :(

I can vouch for that. Living in the conservative, christian, red neck state of Alabama my vote doesn't make a difference these days...But I still vote! Being an independent there may be a time when my vote will make a difference but so far I've yet to see any pub's that I like other than maybe Christie.

Antistupidity

From SickOfTheBickering: Are you STUPID (not anti-stupid) or just a flat out liar?

Are you calling me a Romney?

No. I am simply pointing out the 'inaccuracies' in your posts. Then... wondering why someone with the name 'Antistupidity' would post those inaccuracies...

So... you are either STUPID or a LIAR. Which is it?

Never mind. I don't really expect a truthful answer from you... you have already shown your true colors with your untruthful comments and your childish retort.

:OP

You people still jawboning with the retards and rednecks from the wacko Party god almighty that's like trying to blow the stench off cow @!$%# with a balloon

Dogma - This is the second time in as many days that I've seen a Romney supporter tell a fellow American that their vote doesn't count. It's absolutely disgusting to me that these nazis are attempting to claim American patriotism.

Every one please take note of the nasty, brainwashed, lying anti-Americans that Mitt is "leading".

wondering why someone with the name 'Antistupidity' would post those inaccuracies

Golly gee....That's almost as stupid as someone calling themselves "sick of the bickering" that does nothing but whine like a spoiled little girl.

I read comments from the brainwashed, anti-American Miss Mittsy clan and, yes, I remain......shocked and disgusted.

To answer Romney's question, a repeat of the last four years is still definitely better that the policies that a Romney/Ryan administration would bring to us.

But, it's a stupid question because we wouldn't get four more years of the same under Obama anyway, since the recovery is taking hold and most analysts see several years of growth coming our way in continuing the current policies. It might still be slower than we all like, but we're part of a global economy and until our global customers get back on their feet, our recovery is being stalled by them.

If the Euro and Greece issues hadn't happened, we'd be in a decent stage of recovery by now.

It is called PROJECT ORCA.. 34,000 strong growing daily and trained by romneybots to lie and suppress the vote ACROSS THE NATION! ...Politico has this too! Been going on for MONTHS across swing states...This is a serious case of FRAUD! The tapes of the training are out there also..though when caught today romney scrubbed the site!

And The Economist mocked Romney.

(As did Mayor Bloomberg and CEO Schultz)

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said today he will once again vote for President Obama. In an interview with CNBC Schultz said that Obama has shown "significant leadership" and the "kind of stewardship of the economy in the country and in world affairs" that deserves a second term.

Romney is about to be charged in court for violating the Federal Ethics in Government law.

In 2009, Ann Romney partnered with her husband's key donor, billionaire Paul Singer, who secretly bought a controlling interest in Delphi Auto, the former GM auto parts division. Singer's hedge fund, Elliott Management, threatened to cut off GM's supply of steering columns unless GM and the government's TARP auto bail-out fund provided Delphi with huge payments. While the US treasury complained this was "extortion," the hedge funds received, ultimately, $12.9 billion in taxpayer subsidies.

As a result, the shares Singer and Romney bought for just 67 cents are today worth over $30, a 4,000% gain. Singer's hedge fund made a profit of $1.27 billion and the Romney's tens of millions. G.Palast

Significant leadership in world affairs????

He has no leadership in world affairs. He's been a disaster. Our Allies are laughing at the condition of our Nation.

Come out from under that rock....despicable.

Can'tAfford,

If your story is true...You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what free speech means.

When you join a private entity, such as FB, you click the little box that says you agree to their terms of use and standards. If you disregard or violate that code, they have every right as a private entity, to ban you. Just like Newsvine.

You have a right to free speech, not a right to FB. Call me when the feds come knocking on your door for what you've posted. I'll defend you too.

At last, somebody brings up the dire issue of climate change! Bloomberg has endorsed Obama--climate change means superstorms like Sandy and Irene last year are the new normal.

Romney wants to:

1) privatize FEMA,

2) defund FEMA altogether, transferring responsibility to the states, and/or

3) cut FEMA by 22%--Take your pick, he's said all three.

The simple truth is, when the next Sandy happens--and it will--if Romney's elected, the fed will not be there to provide funding to help, and there will be no coordinated effort. Individual states each trying something during a natural disaster with few resources and nobody at the top to get it organized would result in sheer chaos, many more deaths, and yes, greater economic loss and far longer recoveries.

Obama/Biden and a Democratic House and Senate--MOVING FORWARD FOR ALL

Yes Dee, Obama picked up Bloomberg's endorsement along with Colin Powell's and some approval even from Governor Christie for his attention and cooperation -- but Romney has just received the endorsement of Monty Burns! Release the Hounds, don't pull a Homer - vote Obama/Joe, or say "D'Oh!".

Hey Ed, I've seen some of that reporting, and I've liked Greg Palast for quite a while...could cause a bigger problem for Mitt than merely losing the election. "Poor Mitt", the candidate who might have been - and nobody is sure who that is or what his policies and attitudes might bring.

Still laughable Fiesty a call for unity, from someone who "advances" the newest childish "name game" from Obama.

You viciously and personally attack every post from those with different political views than yours.

And then "wallow" in your self proclaimed importance, because simple minded liberals "vote your comments UP"..........

try posting on a conservative vine and see how many "votes" you get with your narrow minded political views.

Antistupidity, I get really tired of all the Clinton surplus talk, it never existed. The national debt when Clinton left office was around 5.7 trillion, it increased under his administration as it has with all presidents. The numbers you list are not correct.

If by 'business', Romney means 'using money you were born with to buy and loot other companies', then I'd agree that he knows business.

It would be a sad day in the United States if this vulture ever gets into power.

Obama/Biden 2012 - Romney/Ryan 1040

"mruseurhead"...Perhaps you should take a good look at what those on your side have been desperately saying in the last week. Everything from nasty racial slurs against the President of the United States to referring to supporters of the President as "leg humpers" - in fact, be so clever as to scroll down and see what "sharky" had to say. Feisty may get worked up, but I have yet to see her call for the execution of the President of the United States of America and his Secretary of State. I certainly do not see any condemnation of "sharky" from you, "mruseurhead" (no big surprise).

Clean up the crap on your own side before you act sanctimonious about anyone else...otherwise you come across as a shallow, empty hypocrite (again - not surprising from a Romney supporter).

try posting on a conservative vine

...I wasn't aware that the Klan had a comment section on their site...

Irving, I am also in an industry that has felt a direct impact of the Bush years, but this country is coming back and it is reflected in my industry. I have consistently received my yearly raise over the last four years, not as much as anyone would like, but up is better than down! Our next year is forecast to be as good if not better than this last year, so we are very optimistic about 2013 here.

Obama/Biden: Because American Cannot Afford A Romney in the House!

Ticked Off - some of us work commision and, yes, we've gotten at least a 27% increase over the last 2 years!

Obama/Biden 2012

some of us work commision and, yes, we've gotten at least a 27% increase

AND HOW MUCH HAS THE COSTS FOR FOOD, FUEL, ELECTRICITY...ETC GONE UP?

YOU ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO REPRESENTING WHAT THE REST OF AMERICA HAS EXPERIENCED.

My husband is also up 26% over four years ago! He changed jobs and left the stingy republican run dump.

Ironically, my Republican step sister was forced to take a 20% paycut from her republican boss and she's still there!

Personally I think this underscores that Republicans fear CHANGE more than they fear getting screwed over in their 'steady' job.

I guess Ticked Off is just ticked off because he can't seem to improve his sorry little life....

I've had a >30% wage increase within the last 4 years. My boss is a (D) and a job creator. I'm now a (D) switched from (I) and I now am able to create jobs. Neither of us are super rich, but we put our money where it counts. We don't sit on profits, we spend to create. Sitting on profits doesn't create jobs, it creates stagnation.

I've already voted For our current President. Republicans spent 8 years ruining our economy, I'll give the Democrats 8 years (at minimum) to clean up after their mess.

Oh, God, give me a break! I live in Alaska for crying out loud! The cost of living here is very expensive, and we have all felt the brunt of it, so you know what we do? We work harder and we are not as obsessed with material items as many of the rest in other states. I live in a state with little infrastructure, save the oil industry, and those bastards are a bunch of cheating thieves. You know what we do to them? We make them prove that they should receive subsidies, or lower taxes! It is our oil, in our state, and people are waking up to the fact that we are not going to be bullied by a bunch of corporate ass holes who only care about their bottom line.

Ticked off -- You wrote:

AND HOW MUCH HAS THE COSTS FOR FOOD, FUEL, ELECTRICITY...ETC GONE UP?

What's the matter, don't like the "free market" at work?

Food is going up due to speculator's taking over in the commodities market. Try reading occasionally you might find that the price of gas is also controlled by the markets as well.

Ticked Off - sorry you haven't seen improvement but frankly - all of my friends have. It hasn't been easy for all of them but they're all better off than when a Republican was President - and the SOOOOO know it!

Obama/Biden 2012

Do any of you realize how idiotic and moronic you sound when you use the word "gubment"? It speaks volumes to who you are as a person.

Ticked Off - when you spout the stupid "gubment check" rhetoric it says more about you than it does about any of us. I'm sorry your relatives are unemployed but there are jobs out there. They may not make as much as they did and it may just be a job they take until something better comes along but sometimes people have to do that.

If you believe a man who is responsible for sending a complete group of jobs from Illinois to China is ing to help you - you're sadly mistaken. Wake up! Romney doesnt' give a damn!

How many of your relatives have YOU hired????

Obama/Biden 2012

@Ticked, if you started a business, why havn't you hired your unemployed family/friends? you are a job creator, and if you've tripled your income, why not trickle down a bit? Oh wait, you must be greedy...

HEY ALASKAGIRL, AND SEEKINGSANITY

Do any of you realize how idiotic and moronic you sound when you use the word "gubment"?

TERRIBLY SORRY THAT YOU BOTH MISSED THE DAY THEY TAUGHT COLLOQUIALISM

And you are sorry because you don't know where your Caps Lock key is...

THINKING CITIZEN

why havn't you hired your unemployed family/friends?

I WOULD BUT THE COMMUTE FOR THEM FROM MICHIGAN AND PENNSYLVANIA TO OHIO IS A BIT LONG

AND I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE CAPS LOCK KEY IS YOU SNIDE LITTLE PERSON :)

I also received a 20% increase in the last 2 years, so it is happening.

@ Ticked, a correction, well educated, well paid, job creating, snide, scruffy looking nerf herder...

I'm by no means "little" Also, I served our country in the military, how about you?

@ Ticked, as Herman Cain said "Blame yourself!"

Ticked off - no it's not colloquialism - it's total ignorance. The concept that anyone who doesn't agree with you is getting government assistance is not only ignorant - it's very telling about your whole though process. You are truly one of the low information voters - and your posts prove it!

Obama/Biden 2012

Obama has had his "significant other" (Clinton) out campaigning all week.

So, ticked of in Ohio, what you are saying is that you are a backwards hillbilly? Okay, that explains why you and others like you would use the word "gubment". Thanks for clearing this up for me. You apparently come from a region that uses that specific colloquialism in their everyday language. Sorry, doesn't change the fact that it makes you appear very ignorant.

I know, Crystal, isn't it fabulous?! Obama and Clinton shine on their own, but when they are together on stage, they are nothing short of dynamic! To have a sitting president and a great former president together on a stage has got to be a fantastic moment for those lucky enough to attend such a gathering.

O&Joe 2012!

Wow, dude, you seem to really be in a state of panic and confusion. This would explain why you are not doing as well in your professional life. Really encourage you to work on these things as they will continue to hold you back from reaching your full potential as a human being and a productive member of society. I will light a candle in your honor.

Were you dropped on your head when you were 2....it's been 3 years and your still not right! Love the bold fonts - it really accentuates your stupid comments!!

This would explain why you are not doing as well in your professional life.

NO PANIC HERE, JUST PLANNING MY EXPANSION AFTER ROMNEY WINS....I'D BET YOU DONT MAKE IN 10 YEARS, WHAT I MAKE IN JUST 1.

Ticked Off in Ohio, I just took your advice and went to Romney's youtube channel and watched the Featured Video of him explaining why he has the experience to help deal with the East Coast's recovery. Once, when he was in High School he helped clean up a football field after a game. I'm going to go out on a limb here, and assume there are other High School students who have helped cleanup a football field more than once, making them more qualified than Romney. I'll be sure to check out his other videos if they are as entertaining and humorous as the Featured Video, thanks again for the advice.

i just went to romney's youtube channel

hahahhahaa...and obama had experience as what?

did you goto obamas channel and try to post a comment?...

go there and post this "obama sucks" and see if it lets you

and to be fair goto romneys channel and post "romney sucks"

come back and tell us all how it worked out for ya

I only partially took your advice this time because:

1. I don't have a YouTube account nor do I want one.

2. I wouldn't post something with no value like Romney sucks.

3. I really don't care about either administration's policies on YouTube commentary.

But I did go to Obama's channel and I saw how he already IS coordinating the recovery efforts for the East Coast, he must have cleaned up many football fields in his time since even Fox News is praising his efforts. What exactly is the point you are trying to make Ticked Off? Because you seem to be trying to talk Romney up and talk Obama down, but the opposite is occurring as we follow your advice.

LOL @Ticked off in Ohio, you are so out of touch with reality. Yes let everyone choose the nation's President based on how they handle youtube comments. I'm going to be voting Democrat for the first time this year because Romney has promised to make me and my buddies pay taxes while we are overseas on duty, couldn't give 2 craps about youtube comments.

Yes let everyone choose the nation's President based on how they handle youtube comments.

If you cant grasp the concept of censorship and where the democratic party is leading all of you sheep, then there's really no hope for you. I feel sorry for you actually.

And I feel truly sorry for those Americans who may think that troops, such as myself, should be taxed while we are risking our lives overseas. I highly doubt it's about censorship as much as it is about keeping the YouTube channel clean, do you see anyone there saying Romney sucks? No. There are probably tons of people trying to post negative comments about Romney on Obama's channel like there are tons of negative comments about Obama on Romney's channel. You really are crazy if you support youtube comments above your nation's troops. Romney really is giving a new meaning to the saying "the only certainties in life are death and taxes." And by the way, I am republican and have been all my life, but Romney stands for everything the Republican party needs to purge, so I don't fit into your democratic sheep comment.

Here's some funny, I just ran a few fancy pants bit of software regarding Ticked off and his "friends" after viewing his profile...

Looks like he's most likely paid to post swill, and he's also likely using multiple accounts, no wonder he can't (won't) hire his cousins... He is is own cousin it seems...

Well done RWNJ paid Troll!

Romney uses a preacher-like style that is light on real world talking points. I would even call it anecdotal in nature.

According to Wikipedia, "modification in reuse may convert a particular anecdote to a fictional piece, one that is retold but is 'too good to be true'"...

People draw useful inspiration from a story that could be factually weak. That's okay when it is the inspiration that counts.

But someone forgot to tell Romney that "truth be damned" won't work in politics.

Insisting Chrysler is building Jeeps in China doesn't make it true. Nor does it act as "inspiration" to vote Romney.

Romney is preaching to fact checkers. Apparently nobody from his campaign has managed to explain that to him.

Is that it from you Ticked Off? I was hoping you would post more because your outrageous and untrue comments are showing everyone just what Romney supporter's beliefs are and thanks for winning us some votes for Obama, inadvertently or not.

Ticked,

“I'D BET YOU DONT MAKE IN 10 YEARS, WHAT I MAKE IN JUST 1.”

What is really sad about that is that people who actually make that kind of money …

1-Don’t talk about it

2-Don’t spend all day every day on a site read by less than 100^th of 1% of adults.

Dennis you nailed it,

Ticked says he makes alot of money. I find that hard to believe. If that idiot make so much money why in the hell is in FR almost every day, posting comments all day about the same junk.

Call a "Spade" a "Spade".

This is something I saw about my uncles ads that made me think i'm picking correctly. His ad said do you really want someone thats willing to work with the president? Then showed a ad of the dem saying he would work with what ever president thats in office. Democrat or Republican, I want someone in office that will work with the president. I don't want someone that will hurt people just to get their way.

I haven't forgotten about what happened last year. Where Obama was giving into Republicans over and over and they wouldn't work with him at all. Republicans seem to act like what they've done for 2 years never happened. Why would you want more of the problem in office? You shouldn't have to have all republicans running office for them to get along. If they are unable to work with democrats they don't need to be in office to begin with.

Terri -

Obama told the republicans they could ride in the back of the bus. Tell me, how would you react to that?

To Obama and many of the democrats it's their way or the highway, no middle ground. Obama's idea of 'reaching across the aisle' is for the republicans to roll over and let him have whatever he wants.

Why do you think so many TEA Party backed people were put into Congress in 2010?

They have done what they could to stop the runaway spending that Obama and the democrats want to do.

Tammy, that is simply NOT what he said.

Please refer to the actual transcript and the definition of METAPHOR.

What a nightmare the Stuck on Stupid crowd is! Sheesh!

Well, the predicted big correction in the polling data didn't happen yesterday or Tuesday or Monday. Maybe it will happen tomorrow.

Hope springs eternal after all.

Good luck with that.

I'm guessing it'll "correct" back to 8.0%

with or without Cali?

don't think it ever left, now that the "revised or evolved" Septembers numbers!

with or without Cali?

That depends on who you listen to. If you listen to an entertainer (Rush Limbaugh) it will not include Cali. All others will get the report with California data.

The tenths of a percent, or the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin, are pretty meaningless in an election that was supposed to be (and the challenger deserves at least half his money back) a REFERENDUM on the incumbent's term in office, but became a CHOICE )Look at HIS plan, then look at MINE) election.

The choice of "direction" replaced the "are you better off yadda yadda .."meme

Strategically the choice will be studied by political students and political consultants of both parties for years to come...

I object to the idea that the challenger deserves half his money back. The media companies can't be held responsible for the fact that the Romney campaign was typically dumb and decided to buy their air time the day before and not in blocks.

I thought this dude was supposed to be some kind of business genius?

The objection to objectivity of analysis is shared by the majority and duly noted by this comedian...

Al in Visalia:

Why didn't the president take care of business while those 4 Americans were being attacked in Benghazi?

I guess he doesn't trust FEMA to do their job.

What does sandy have to do with Benghazi?

Michael - no darlin - you're just not a Republican so you actually saw what was going on. How do you think Romney gets votes? All of his supporters and blind AND dumb!

Obama/Biden 2012

Seeking! Blind, i'm curious to the reference...

Michael, Obamacare will cover that!

O&Joe 2012!

4 more4 44!

Michael---I'm praying it is not a case of temporary Romnesia. My recommendation---spend a few minutes at the Obama Diary. Thank goodness Obamacare covers pre-existing conditions.

SeekingSanity who writes as usual.

Feisty - the funny thing is, no one for a moment thought Romney wasn't campaigning throughout the storm. He never stopped. He didn't even have the decency to break for a couple of days while people were scrambling for their lives. After all, it didn't impact him and frankly, he doesn't give a damn about "those people."

Thankfully we have a President who not only cares but does his job during the crisis - unlike Bush during Katrina.

Seeking approval - Again girlfriend? Can you think for yourself? every day I see the same thing " Feisty what do you think, am I good, how am I doing it.

As far as capaigning, your Idol my President, was camapigning in wisconsin already with his usual ranting Ah, Ehhhh, Uuhhhh. This happens to people when they do not have anythig else to say, or are just lying to the crowd.

Go ahead and make fun of me and correct my spelling. Go and call Mommy and ask for permission to move your left leg.

The R and R railroad express is coming soon.

Romney/Ryan, just because we can not stand another 4 years of Bull.

His ad's are playing back to back, he never went off attack. He actually has 4 new ad's in VA. Then one that is annoying, he keeps saying the jobs he will bring in. The jobs he is talking about are already their, its just no one has the degree's to do them. Why run the ad if you know they can't get the jobs if they have no degrees? They still wont be able to work so its kinda retarded to me.

stayinformednow - what an absolute lie. President Obama has not called Romney every name in the book from day one. It appears you've confused President Obama with the Republicans running against Romney. Romney - on the other hand - has lied, lied, lied and called the President names. It's all Romney has because he knows he has no truth to tell that can win against our President

Obama/Biden 2012

Which name in the book did Obama leave out?

Romney is ruining Romney on his own. His mouth and things he's done and said are coming back. If he would have ran his campaign at least as good as McCain. He wouldn't be worried as much about back lash. McCain only lost because of Sarah and his statement he made at the wrong time. When he said the market was fine and it went down a week later. Romney started his nasty ad's just after he got Ryan. They ran a month before Obama ever responded, I remember this because the ad's made it look like he was telling the truth about Obama. Obama took the long to respond to the ads. A month without responding and the ads are played at each commercial break.

Terri -

Obama wants to talk about everything but his record, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, the debt, backing terrorists...

Last August, the democrats even said they were going to run a negative campaign - the one thing they've kept their word on.

and all those record profits people corporations are sitting on....and they still aren't hiring???...Yea...the GNOP job philosophy......cut taxes.....raise leg....trickle down.....

GNOP We don't need no fact checkers....GNOPCAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

C'mon Mythe - show us the 1040's...What ARE you hidng!?

Obama/Biden 2012.....moving forward!

He does...he knows all too well what tax cuts to the top will do for middle class people.....absolutely nothing....small businesses do not hire people simply because they get a tax cut..they hire people because there is demand....and Romney offers nothing to increase demand....nothing at all...and we need responsible leadership to deal with the deficit which ROMNEY's plan does not do... in fact it adds to the deficit over the next 4 years....Romney's 12 million jobs....already baked into the current economic forecast....regardless if he takes office..when you talk about deficit reduction you don't preface it with a $5 trillion dollar tax cut that will INCREASE the deficit and then add on top of that $2 TRILLION for defense spending.....that's adding $7 TRILLION to the current deficit........that's the plan.....then he is going to make cuts (what cuts not sure) but he's going to make cuts to programs like EPA, FDA, FEMA and education and healthcare....and that's only to cover the $7 TRILLION increase! Nothing in his budget REDUCES the deficit...and he's not claiming he can...at least not in his first term...which he has evidently set aside to bolster the wealth of the few....reduce their tax rates, cut capital gains, eliminate the estate tax for estates over $5.1 Million (which benefits his sons and family! but not any middle class folks I know)...people are so misled and easily so..believing the hate mongering that has taken over the REPUBLICAN party I used to respect...now I am an independent voter.....and Romney who has vetoed legislation over 800 times as Governor of MASS that in turn was overruled by the Democratic Leg. 744 times is not the guy who is going to help us....sorry but this long lost moderate republican knows a conservative right wing say anything to get into office politician for who he is....call it as I see it.

Moving Forward to the Exit.

He showed his taxes. Why doesn't Obama show his college transcripts. What is he hiding from Benghazi?

Liberals make me laugh. Just a distorted vision of the world.

Moderator, I'm glade you are able to see thru the bull. Romney can't make jobs without poor and middle class. This is what small business doesn't seem to get either. Rich do not buy cheap things, poor and middle class does. If middle class and poor don't have the money to shop. They are saving and going pay check to pay check. You have no business and you won't be hiring workers. A Mitt ad had a company here fussing about how they lost business. They lost business because their food was expensive and was nasty.

Poor and middle class are the ones buying the fast food mostly. To me they sounded stupid saying what they did. With no poor or middle class buying you can't make profit.

DaNoid: Correction. The average CEO now rakes in 383 times what the average employee earns--and the CEO has a lower tax rate! The 1% have been actively and deliberately pressing class warfare since the 1950s--there's ample documentation about that. They even wrote,"We don't make all the money because we have money already--we make it because only we understand what power is and how to use it."

Obama/Biden and a Democratice House & Senate--moving forward for all

WilliamOfRites - out of both sides - he's getting creative that way!

Obama/Biden 2012

Jealousy is such an ugly emotion,I hope Romney can get over it,lol:

ROMNEY: “SEEING HIM WITH CHRIS CHRISTIE IS TEARING ME APART”
Posted by Andy Borowitz

DES MOINES (The Borowitz Report)—A new Mitt Romney is emerging in the closing days of the campaign, aides say: a man who is increasingly “being eaten alive with jealousy” by President Obama’s budding relationship with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

While Mr. Romney has told reporters that he is “totally fine” with Gov. Christie flying around in a helicopter with President Obama, privately he has told aides, “Seeing him with Chris Christie is tearing me apart.”

The trouble began earlier this week, a Romney aide said, when Mr. Romney saw Mr. Christie on CNN mention that President Obama “had given him his number at the White House.”

“Mitt was like, ‘Fine, whatever, do we have to watch this?’ and then basically ran out of the room,” the aide said. “It was completely awkward.”

Making matters worse, the aide said, “Chris Christie isn’t returning his calls.”

“Mitt was trying to explain his position on FEMA to reporters yesterday and he got all excited because his phone started vibrating,” the aide said. “It turned out it was just Ann.”

Mr. Romney, who has been seen doodling Chris Christie’s name in the margins of his briefing books in recent days, has apparently decided on a new course of action: to make the New Jersey governor jealous.

“He’s been calling [New York Governor Andrew] Cuomo,” the aide said. “But Cuomo won’t call him back either. It’s all so sad.”

The more I read the papers

the less I comprehend

the world and all its capers

and how it all will end.

... more morphine please!

George and Ira elevate these proceedings far above their usual um, heights...

Thank You...

I tell ya, my family were always big drinkers. When I was a kid, I was missing. They put my picture on a bottle of Scotch.

The line, "a cunning cottage we could share" always intrigued me enough to leave it a mystery.

It's the only way liberals even look at anything...

POT MEET KETTLE

Anyone else ever notice that the biggest loudmouth, uninformed jerks always use large bold print and lots and lots of explanation marks? Hello...... TICKED OFF IN OHIO. All your posts are the same. You're nothing more than another brainwashed follow the leader Repukelican. Thankfully you have only one vote and I cancelled you out already.

p4554p,

Reading your post I saw the part about George Romney not marching with MLK, which caused me to dig a little on the internet. According to this article:

George Romney didn't march with MLK, (nice lie there), however he did support MLK's cause and in doing so got this letter from the Mormon Church voicing heir disapproval. Click on the link in the article leading to the letter. Maybe it's just me but it's oozing with veiled threats saying things like;

"When I reflect upon the Prophet's statements and remember what happened to three of our nations presidents who were very active in the Negro cause, I am sobered by their demise. They went contrary to the teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith,"...those who are determined to pursue a course, which shows an opposition, and a feverish restlessness against the decree of the Lord, will learn, when perhaps it is too late for their own good. that God can do His own work, without the aid of those who are not dictated by His counsel." has and will continue to be fulfilled."

The letter goes on to describe a "personal experience" where a friend in Arizona was a "champion of the colored race" who met a tragic end by drowning.

Translation: "If you keep this up, you're gonna die.

Well said @p4554p!

Thanks for the list, too, it's a good reference

Lee Iococca got a bailout for Chrysler from the Republicans in 1979.

George Romney let AMC fail.

Romney is a draft dodger

so trapp, you know for a fact that there was a seal team in benghazi - which no-one else has heard of or knows about?

I guess stating the facts is something both you and Romney have problems with. not lies, just not the truth!

What can you tell me about balckwater type operatives who were in Benghazi, and by all accounts should not have been there?!

Isn't "trapp" the name of one of those trashy Palin kids? Given the ignorant, unresearched comment, "trapp" must be the "special" one.

how can obama be worth 10 million dollars..

and never hold a private job?

trapp211 - President Obama has held private jobs. Try to do a little research before you just post your usual stupidity. He was an attorney plus he taught Constitutional Law at the Universit of Chicago (a private school). He also has written several best sellers - which accounts for most of his income.

Go away stupid!

armand

why do you you lie- It is obvious you know nothing about the financial world.'

Obama,Pelosi,Romney and many others keep their money in the Caymans and burmuda because they are wise.

All have to do extra paperwork on their tax returns but for preservation of their capital it is well worth it.

Our banking system is so corrupt and Frank/Dodd made it more corrupt- The Caymans is the 5th largest offshore banking in the world for a reason.

The financial rules were put together by the banking industry themselves(self regulated) with no Government Bureaucracy or red tape.

It is one of the most efficient and fliud systems in the world which makes it very difficult to commit fraud against the system.

there are no tax advantages of any kind only protection against fraud and loss of capital like what happened in September 2008 courtesy of Fannie and Freddie.

dont post rhetoric on somethinng you have no understaanding of.

john with lotsa numbers: You're misinformed. 40% of America;s wealth has been extracted, over 30 trillions, by the wealthy to evade taxation. That's legal right now, but may not be very much longer.

It's certainly unAmerican, and the only evidence we have, among the people you name, is that Romney does it--not only in the Caymans & Bermuda, but also in Luxembourg and other tax shelters around the globe.

Care to prove your allegations against the president? I didn't think so. You see, his tax records for ten years have been made public. Willard's tax records have not. In fact, Willard's offered less tax information than any other presidential candidate since the practice began.

Come to think of it, he hasn't said what or how he'll do anything as president, either.

But we do know he equates saving lives and cleanup after devastating catastrophe with cleaning up after a football game. And he thinks FEMA's role should either be drastically reduced, privatized, or eliminated.

Do you live in a disaster-free zone?

Obama/Biden and a Democratic House & Senate--moving forward for all

if this happened on bushes watch..

he would be frying on all the major media networks..

how can these people sleep at nite?

3,000 Slaughtered 9/11, nearly 5,000 Americans fitted for body bags, how many died during Katrina and the aftermath, 1800 +. All on Bush's watch, heck of job brownie.

Obama 2012

Cincern Citizen nailed it. ABC, CBS, CNN are in the same boat as NBC.

It is incredible, not a bleeping comment on this. Are you there NBC. (National Barrack Campaign)

The U.S. Mission in Benghazi convened an “emergency meeting” less than a month before the assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, because Al Qaeda had training camps in Benghazi and the consulate could not defend against a “coordinated attack,” according to a classified cable reviewed by Fox News

So why was Stevens in Benghazi? With reduced security and known dangers lurking nearby - why was he at the consulate in Benghazi?

Repubs are all for personal responsibility, they had a meeting to discuss how dangerous it was, and he still went? Why was Stevens in Benghazi? Why wasn't he conducting his business in Tripoli?

He took it upon himself to go knowing the risk he was taking. He felt it was important despite the risk. You would have a smoking gun if you could prove he was ordered to go in spite of his fears.

concern citizen: Did you mean "Concerned Citizen?" Newsflash: when Fox calls an exclusive--meaning nobody else has the story--it's because the story is untrue.

You're buying conservative mogul Rupert Murdoch's agenda, not factual news. Facetiously called "opinion journalism," Fox presents stories like fairy tales. They even change words in quotations, making the "quotations" untrue.

Studies prove Fox News adherents are less informed than folks who watch any other news channels.
