Paul Ryan sharpen your pencil, the budget is calling!

Romney/Ryan all the WAY!!

"WHY ROMNEY IS UNFIT FOR THE PRESIDENCY"

". . . .If you think Romney is ready to transcend his questionable business practices, roll up his sleeves and work across the aisle, consider that in his only political job, in one term as Massachusetts governor, Romney stood aloof from legislators, not deigning to learn their names and roping off a private elevator to keep them away. Clearly he just suffered through the degrading experience of running a state to build his resume for a White House run. His elitist disdain for those outside his circle would surely follow him to Washington.

Whatever your political philosophy, you should consider whether a candidate with that kind of experience and orientation should lead our nation. . . ."

VOTE: O & JOE!

We were never meant to be weak minded wusses who look to the government to spoon feed us. We used to have a backbone until Obama came along. With Romney and Ryan we will find it again.

KJNC: Get ready for an onslaught of crazy to come your way! HA!

O&Joe!

KJNC,

Need I remind you that four years ago we were asked to vote for someone that had a thin resume...virtually no experience, and yet through his well written speeches America decided to elect him to office. In the four years since, he has not delivered on his campaign promises from four years ago. Now, he has run his entire campaign from a negative viewpoint of hate and bashing his opponent as opposed to running on his "record". Why didn't he run on his record? It's clear that he is deflecting from his vast shortcomings. That is what someone should consider when they walk into that voting booth tomorrow.

More government, more taxes, less freedom- Vote Obama

Less government, less taxes, more freedom- Vote Romney

YES, fellow Progressives - CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR MYTH ROBME'S CONCESSION SPEECH!

After that, he'll go home to one of the 6 states, where he owns mansions, but the people don't like him enough to vote for him. :-)

Did Hurricane Sandy Blow Romney Off Course?

THE. BEST. POLLING. DATA. EVER. (Unless you buy the silliness Faux Noise is selling - LOL!)

Nate predicts on Nov. 6,
President Obama is 86.3% likely to win 307 Electoral College votes!
.
President Obama chances of winning: the popular vote - 80.5%

President Obama chances of winning: OH - 86.8%

President Obama chances of winning: PA - 97.9%

President Obama chances of winning: IOWA - 83%

O & JOE . . . VOTE! :-)

Oh my God, Ryan has started his trip down memory lane!

the Iowa state fair ...

The same fair that Romney did not attend.

But Romney did have this great photo opt. on his way to the airport.

He stoppd by a farm owned by a real estate millionare and had his picture taken in font of the guy's spaceship house with a field of corn in the background.

The real farmers in Iowa are still laughing about that one.

Well, of course the Iowa State Fair is well beneath Mr. and Mrs. Romney. We can't expect them to be in the same place as us regular folks now can we? After all, they are who they are and we are "You people".

JKNC - I like this prediction better than Nate's. http://townhall.com/columnists/wayneallynroot/2012/10/12/las_vegas_oddsmaker_explains_why_he_predicts_romney_landslide/page/full/

Also I like the Colorado Professor's prediction: http://dailycaller.com/2012/08/23/university-of-colorado-prediction-model-points-to-big-romney-win/

To top it off, my "gut feeling" is Romney with 300 to 310 EVs and a popular vote of 52.5% to 47.5%.

Sandy was just last Monday.

If you haven't done so already, please donate whatever you can to the Red Cross for our friends on the East Coast.

"JK1963" . . . Obama HAS been running on his very good record . . . you apprently haven't been paying attention . . .

Just one example - I'm sure others will post more:

AS BILL CLINTON SAID, IT'S *ARITHMETIC,* (STUPID!)

O & JOE! :-)

"get things done, stop blaming people, and don't try to transform this country into something it was never intended to be". So apparently Paul Ryan, the constitutional scholar (who knew?), wants Boehner, McConnell, et al replaced so Congress can actually accomplish something after two years of a whole lot of nothing.

MERCY! I SAY MERCY! I hope he's not out there "Cornholing" again! Today, as a result of Ryan's Saturday night "Tailgating" and "Cornholing", a lot of Southern women have sore butts, and not a penny richer, nor a gwaddamn bit happier, especially with their Men folk.

For the sake of Southern women (and some men) MSNBC is gonna have to quit reporting Northern cornholing.

The Republicans are already trying to steal this election.

VOTE! And then follow up to make sure it's counted.

Clackamas County identifies accused elections worker as Deanna Swenson of Oregon City

Clackamas County today identified the temporary elections worker accused of altering ballots as Deanna Swenson, 55, of the Oregon City area.

She was "relieved of duty immediately after the alleged ballot tampering was discovered," Tim Heider, county spokesman, said in a press release.

Swenson, who is registered as a Republican, also worked previous elections, at least back to 2010, said Scot Sedaris, county counsel.

Swenson is accused of filling in the names of Republican candidates on ballots where voters did not make a choice. Tampering with ballots is a Class C felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of $125,000.

Updated as of 9:50pm EST on Monday, November 5, 2012 (TWO HOURS TO GO!):

*** FiveThirtyEight TONIGHT FLIPS FLORIDA TO OBAMA!

OBAMA'S LEAD IN MICHIGAN AND COLORADO GROWS AS MARGIN IN OHIO SOLIDIFIES; SMALLER LEADS GROW IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND VIRGINIA AS IOWA SEES SHARP DECLINE.

Additionally, Obama's lead strengthened over the past three days in Nevada but softened in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania; Romney's lead in Florida rose today only to fall again, settling just above Sunday's RCP averaged polling percentage. Romney also lost ground in North Carolina.

Mischief alert: Quite a bit of suspect outlier polling favorable to Romney was floated out in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan on Sunday in the face of multiple polls which confirmed consistently strong Obama leads in each of these states (the Karl Rove axiom of 'shaping perceptions to alter outcomes,' perhaps?).

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

With 2 hours to go in the traditional presidential campaign, Real Clear Politics (RCP) reports that Obama leads in nine of their eleven toss-up states with Romney leading in two.

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 9:50pm EST together with the most recent FiveThirtyEight election night probabilities of victory for either candidate:

In WISCONSIN, with 10 electoral votes, Obama's lead fell Sunday to 4.2%, down from 5.0% on Saturday. However, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 96.9% chance of victory here, up by an astounding 11.2% since Tuesday.

In MICHIGAN, with 16 electoral votes, Obama's lead has returned to 4.0%, up from Sunday's 3.8%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 99.2% chance of victory here, up 0.8% from Friday.

In PENNSYLVANIA, with 20 electoral votes, Obama's lead fell late Monday afternoon to 3.8%, down from 3.9% over the weekend. However, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 98.7% chance of victory here, up by a significant 4.6% since Tuesday.

In OHIO, with 18 electoral votes, Obama's lead settled late this afternoon at 2.9%, up from 2.8% this morning. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 91.2% chance of victory here, up by an astronomical 17.9% since Tuesday.

In NEVADA, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead has been holding at 2.8%, up from 2.4% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 93.8% chance of victory here, up by 2.8% from Friday and by an astonishing 14.1% since Tuesday.

In IOWA, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead fell this afternoon to 2.4%, down sharply from 3.0% on Monday morning. However, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 85.0% chance of victory here, up by an astounding 11.1% since Tuesday.

In NEW HAMPSHIRE, with 4 electoral votes, Obama's lead this afternoon has settled at 2.0%, up from 1.5% over the weekend. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 84.9% chance of victory here, up by a substantial 6.2% from Friday.

In COLORADO, with 9 electoral votes, Obama's lead rose late this afternoon to 1.5%, up from 0.6% over the weekend. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 80.3% chance of victory here, up by an astonishing 13.6% from Friday.

In VIRGINIA, with 13 electoral votes, Obama this morning emerged with a lead of 0.3%, reversing a longstanding but narrowing Romney lead of 0.3% from Sunday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 80.3% chance of victory here, up by an astronomical 15.5% from Friday.

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

In FLORIDA, with 29 electoral votes, Romney's lead settled late this afternoon at 1.5%, up from 1.4% over the weekend. Interestingly, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama (and NOT Romney) a 52.5% chance of victory here, a significant turnaround of 3.2% from Friday.

Note: Romney's lead in Florida may be more fragile than 1.5% as RCP has chosen to include in their averaged polling two recent outlier findings of 6.0% and 5.0% in Romney's favor conducted by newspapers from conservative Tampa Bay and heavily Cuban Miami. As a consequence, the possibility remains that Romney's true lead here is less than 1.0% and may in fact be closer to that of dead heat.

In NORTH CAROLINA, with 15 electoral votes, Romney's lead fell this morning to 3.0%, down from 3.8% over the weekend. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Romney a 72.4% chance of victory here, down an astonishing 9.0% from Friday.

So...

In order for Obama to win re-election the least complex route would be through maintaining his existing leads in the five toss-up states where his current margins are widest (Wisconsin at 4.2%, Michigan at 4.0%, Pennsylvania at 3.8%, Ohio at 2.9%, and Nevada at 2.8%. 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 Nevada, New Hampshire, Colorado, and Virginia.

However, should Obama fail to hold the strategic prize of a hotly-contested Ohio, the loss could effectively be neutralized by any of the following combination of wins from states where FiveThirtyEight is currently forecasting Obama victories:

Path #1: Obama loses Ohio but holds three of his remaining four toss-up states where his current leads are greatest, Iowa, New Hampshire, and Colorado resulting in 272 electoral votes.

Path #2: Obama loses Ohio but wins Virginia while also taking only one state from among Iowa, New Hampshire, or Colorado resulting in 272, 270, or 275 electoral votes, respectively.

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

For Romney to unseat Obama, he not only would have to hold the two states in which he presently leads, North Carolina and Florida, bringing his electoral vote total to 235, but also steal victories in one of the two following possible combinations from states currently leaning Obama, listed in descending order of likelihood based on the reversed engineering of current FiveThirtyEight numbers for election night chances of victory:

Path A: Romney retakes Virginia and steals both Ohio and Colorado resulting in 275 electoral votes (least unlikely outcome).

Path B: Romney retakes Virginia and steals both Ohio and New Hampshire resulting in 270 electoral votes (more unlikely outcome).

Working against these two scenarios, however, are climbing averaged poll numbers for Obama over the past two days in all three of these states.

In any event, should Romney retake Virginia but 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 1.5%, New Hampshire at 2.0%, Iowa at 2.4%, and Nevada at 2.8%) resulting in an electoral vote total of 273.

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

FiveThirtyEight this morning estimates the chance of Election Day victory for each candidate as follows: Obama 91.4% (up significantly from Friday morning's 80.9%) and Romney 8.6% (down by a similar margin from Friday's 19.1%).

FiveThirtyEight now also projects that on Election Day the final electoral tally will be as follows: Obama 314 (up 16 from Wednesday's 299) and Romney 224 (down 16 from Wednesday'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 50.9% (up from Thursday's 50.4%) and Romney 48.5% (down from Thursday's 48.2%).

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

A Few Election Day Predictions:

Expect on Tuesday a plethora of polling place horror stories from across the nation, including sporadic physical confrontations and resulting arrests involving Tea Party-backed poll watchers from TRUE THE VOTE, et al in multiple urban precincts throughout many if not all of the eleven toss-up states.

Expect craziness, if not sheer lunacy, in Republican Governor Rick Scott's Florida. Going forward, perhaps the National Guard should be charged with running elections here as state officials are clearly failing in their responsibilities.

Expect unwillingness on the part of the Republican Secretary of State in Ohio, Jon Husted, to call the election in his state in a timely manner.

Expect a mandatory recount in Colorado if the margin of victory falls below 1.0%, bearing in mind that the Republican Secretary of State in Colorado, Scott Gessler, is a doppelganger for Ohio's Jon Husted.

Expect Paul Ryan to retain his congressional seat in Wisconsin as a majority of voters in his district cast ballots against him at the national level while voting in support of him at the local level…perhaps as a form of 'contrition'.

Expect FOXNEWS to be clamoring for congressional investigations into Democrat voter fraud, less real than imagined, even before the polls close.

Expect Right Wing talk radio to begin fomenting, if not actually inciting, popular 'resistance' to the certification of the legitimate Electoral College outcome, and we all know what THAT is code for, while condemning the continued use of the Electoral College itself.

In spite of these obstacles, Obama wins the White House with an electoral vote tally of 303 to Romney's 235, taking Colorado and Virginia but failing to steal Florida, which in truth had already been stolen on behalf of Romney by Governor Rick Scott.

All legal challenges to the certification of the election that are filed in federal courts are summarily dismissed with prejudice and Barack Hussein Obama is sworn in on January 20, 2013 for his second term as President of the United States.

The very next day, and with no fanfare or publicity, the lights come on in Hillary Clinton's 2016 Presidential Campaign Headquarters.

The Romney Camp has released internal polling.

They expect to lose Nevada by 2.

Up 1 in Ohio, 2 in Iowa, up 3 in New Hampshire. Both Wisconsin and Pennsylvania tied.

Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia were "in the bag", but they had to defend them fiercely.

In Nevada the unions put their last week push on to get what appears to be more than enough democrats to vote for Obama to keep it out of reach.

In Ohio, they expect to win by about 20,000 votes. The early vote advantage in Ohio is 6 points, down from 27 points (49 - 22) in 2008. Warning though, there is plenty of ground information to say Ohio might be a 5 point win for Romney. If this is true Sherrod Brown loses to Mandel.

Iowa is a surprise, in that Obama won so big in 2008 and appeared to have enough space despite a smaller advantage in early vote for it to stay Obama by 1 or 2 points.

New Hampshire is no surprise, the polling information of the polls showing Obama were so twisted in so many unique ways, that were about certain to be invalid.

Here's the real democrat problem right now. clearly the last couple of weeks of polls have internals that are also twisted. This may mean the Allen has soundly defeated Kaine. I would hope so. Kaine left McDonnell a deficit he had to jump through hoops to eliminate. I cannot fathom sending a budget buster to Washington at this time.

Same thing with Florida. If Romney is leading Florida as much as I saw, Mack will squeak through as Senator. In Pennsylvania, a tie with a lean toward romney might also bring Smith across the finish line too.

BTW: The Obama camp just snears and scoffs. This might be the last time they do that.

What's "snears"?

@RealAmericansFirst#1.23: It's one of those queer words DB likes to use as He generates big outrageous delusions. DB really enjoys writing delusions and passing gas. Hopes to someday gain a republican pedigree.

Our President said that he would bring the nation together. That did not work.

Our President said that he could work with the opposition party by reaching across the isle. That did not work.

Our President said that his administration would be free from lobbyists. That did not work.

Our President said that his administration would be the most transparent ever. That did not work.

Our President said that he would fix the economy within three years. That did not work.

Our President said that his health care bill would lower health care costs. That did not work.

Our President said that he would not raise taxes on 95% of Americans in any way. That did not work.

Our President said that his stimulus spending bill would solve our employment problem. That did not work.

Our President said that he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. That did not work.

Our President has provided an economic "plan" for the next 4 years that is mathematically impossible. That cannot work.

I see a pattern here. Our President said that if he could not fix the economy within three year that he did not deserve a second term.

Real American

snears should have read sneers, and you know it.

We will see who has the rose colored glasses on tomorrow night, but I assure you, I've seen the numbers in ohio played in 2000 & 2004.

I Love you REPUBLICANS and TEABAGGERS in DENIAL.

that you've ALREADY have HIT the GROUND.

Ouch.

You know it.

and now your "REPUBLICAN MOMMA" knows it.

ps. however, you crazy-wacko TEABAGGERS were RIGHT about one thing.

OBAMA really was BORN in KENYA,

and he really is a MUSLIM.

But it's too LATE to do ANYTHING about it NOW.

arf. arf.

Hey Teabaggers, want to know one more SECRET ?!?

Of course you do.

Obama's a MARXIST too!

Boy did we FOOL you!

Ain't Life Grand?

ps. Is this a Great post, or what?

What voters are saying about Obama:

1. "The Affordable Care Act is saving my daughter's life."

2. "Obama is for the vets. He helped us wind down in Iraq, he's improved mental health

policy with VA benefits."

3. "Obama stuck his neck out for us, the auto industry. He wasn't going to let it just

die, and I'm driving in this morning because of that, because of him."

4. "Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive."

5. "Supreme Court Supreme Court Supreme Court."

6. "Arithmetic. Mitt Romney's tax cuts do not add-up"

7. "He cares for the 100 percent."

8. "When Obama came into office, he successfully renewed our country's place in the

community of nations, making cooperation in tackling the world's challenges possible."

9. "The actions he has taken with respect to protecting us from terrorism have been

very, very solid."

10. "I was really very grateful to him for standing up for those kids who are having a

really rough time out there because of their orientation."

11. "For me, President Obama is our best choice because he has a vision of the United

States as a place where we are all in this together."

12. "He has a real plan for rescuing the economy that passes the 'math' test."

13. "Having someone in office who understands how powerful our voice can be is very

important."

14. "I am voting for Barack Obama and Joe Biden because I can trust them to care for

the middle class and restore the American dream."

15. "The first measure he signed into law after becoming president was the Lilly

Ledbetter Fair Pay Act -- so a female high school counselor or physical education

teacher can fight for equal pay for equal work."

16. "I believe in the America he wants for my grandchildren."

17. "We need four more years of repair, of helping the middle class achieve a

sustainable economy."

18. "I've watched him fight for our country, stand by the middle class, the working

class, the military, the education of our children, universal health care, women, the

environment, and matters of national and domestic security."

19. "The gifted 12-year-old I taught, whose parents were deported and left her here

with her grandmother, will be allowed to stay and finish her education. She's been in

the U.S. since age one."

20. "I want our president to place scientific evidence and risk management above

electoral politics."

21. "I have four children who are under 26 and able to stay on my health care plan.

That's been huge."

22. "He's fighting to defend and better Social Security and Medicare -- because

millions of Latino seniors rely on them."

23. "Thanks to the President's efforts to keep student loan rates low, I can expect to

save nearly $1000 as I work to repay my student loans. And I don't have too many of

those, thanks to the Federal Pell Grant program."

24. "It's been wonderful to have President Obama as a champion for access to health

care for all women in this country."

25. "Re-electing Barack Obama would lead to a stronger economic recovery than would be

the case were Mitt Romney to win on November 6th."

STILL BAFFLED BY MYTH ROMNEY??? THIS MAKES SENSE . . .

"ROMNEYISM"

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-reich/romneyism_b_2069095.html?utm_hp_ref=politics

The ten guiding principles of Romneyism are:

1. Corporations are the basic units of society. Corporations are people, and the overriding purpose of an economy is to maximize corporate profits. When profits are maximized, the economy grows fastest. This growth benefits everyone in the form greater output, better products and services, and higher share prices.

2. Workers are a means to the goal of maximizing corporate profits. If workers do not contribute to that goal, they should be fired. If they cannot then find other work that helps maximize profits in another company, their wages must be too high, and they must therefore accept steadily lower wages until they find a job.

3. All factors of production -- capital, physical plant and equipment, workers -- are fungible and should be treated the same. Any that fail to deliver high competitive returns should be replaced or discarded. This keeps an economy efficient. Fairness is and should be irrelevant.

4. Pollution, unsafe products, unsafe working conditions, financial fraud, and other negative side effects of the pursuit of profits are the price society pays for profit-driven growth. They should not be used as excuses to constrain the pursuit of profits through regulation.

5. Individual worth depends on net worth -- how much money one has made, and the value of the assets that money has been invested in. Any person with enough intelligence and ambition can make a fortune. Failure to do so is sign of moral and intellectual inferiority.

6. People who fail in the economy should not be coddled. They should not receive food stamps, Medicaid, or any other form of social subsidy. Coddling leads to a weaker society and a weaker economy.

7. Taxes are inherently bad because they constrain profit-making. It is the right and responsibility of individuals and corporations to exploit every tax loophole they (and their tax attorneys) can find in order to pay the lowest taxes possible.

8. Politics is a game whose only purpose is to win. Any means used to win the game is legitimate even if it involves lying and cheating, as long as it gains more supporters than it loses.

9. Democracy is dangerous because it is forever vulnerable to the votes of a majority intent on capturing the wealth of the successful minority, on whom the economy depends. The rich must therefore do whatever is necessary to prevent the majority from exercising its will, including spending large sums of money on lobbyists and political campaigns. The most virtuous among the rich will go a step further and run for president.

10. The three most important aspects of life are family, religion, and money. Patriotism is a matter of guarding our economy from unfair traders and undocumented immigrants, rather than joining together for the common good. We owe nothing to one another as citizens of the same society.

.

On Tuesday we'll decide whether these should be the guiding principles of America.

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT FOR AMERICA?

HECK NO, VOTE O & JOE! :-)

Vote Romney/Ryan!

Don't vote for another four more years of failure from Obama!!

This stuff just doesn't stick so give it up KJNC. Romney is a nice guy. He's a decent guy who wants to help. He doesn't need to do this like Obama does, he wants to do it. He isn't a celebrity, he doesn't have cool friends like your guy does. He doesn't sit at the cool table at lunch.

But, he's a grown up who knows how to balance the budget and jump start the US economy. It's not sexy but it's something that has to be done.

Obama might look good in the letter jacket but it's all a facade. He's in way over his head. Besides if he does win he will be impeached for letting four men die in Benghazi.

Redhead,

Excellent post!

"Republicans Filibuster Everything, Romney Blames Obama for Not Working With Congress"

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-cesca/republicans-filibuster-ev_b_2018663.html

"The Romney campaign released a shockingly Orwellian commercial over the weekend, which perpetuates something Romney himself has been saying for months now. Honestly, there's a book-length analysis to be written here, but I'll keep it as brief as possible given the depth and breadth of what the Republicans have been able to accomplish on this front.

The new ad blames President Obama for not reaching out and working with congressional Republicans to get things done. Yes, really. It also ballyhoos Mitt Romney's claim that he was able to work with a Massachusetts legislature that was 85 percent Democratic. . . .

And so the Republicans proceeded to rack up the highest number of filibusters in American history. During the president's first two years in office, the 111th Congress, there were 137 cloture motions filed to end Republican filibusters. During the president's second two years, the 112th Congress, there were 109 motions filed to end Republican filibusters and we still have a few more months to go. 246 total cloture motions. Compare this to George W. Bush's first term when there were a total of 133 cloture motions filed. Not even a handful of "sensible" Republicans had the guts to break ranks and vote with the Democrats. Meanwhile, on the House side, the Republican majority has voted in near-lockstep against almost everything. . . . "

VOTE O & JOE!

Redhead: Romney is NOT a nice guy. A nice guy doesn't hold a fellow student down while someone cuts the kids hair just because Mittens doesn't like the way he looks. A nice guy doesn't tie a dog to the roof of the family car - breaking the law in his home state. A nice guy doesn't close companies, through workers out into the streets, pocket their pension money, ship jobs overseas and walk away with Tens of Millions of Dollars. And a nice guy doesn't lie, and flip flop, and hide important details, and not reveal plans for the country. Your draft dodging, lying, thieving, secretive candidate is NOT a nice guy and is NOT fit to be President of the United States.

KJNC

If the Democrats would have worked with the Republicans they wouldn't have to Filibuster. Ever think about that? Did you know that Appropriation(BUDGET) Bills are EXEMPT FROM THE FILIBUSTER? Why didn't the Democrats pass a FY2010 or FY2011 Budgets? They could have RAISED TAXES on the rich. They could have SPENT money ANYWAY THEY WANTED! WHY DIDN'T THEY PASS A BUDGET?

Redhead -- Romney isn't a nice guy. He's a pathological liar/sociopath. And yes, he does have to do this as he compulsively follows wherever the money leads. He's been bought and sold so many times in his life he's lost track of what he really does believe in, and he doesn't have a problem with that. Yes, he does have a history of creating jobs, it's just that they've been overseas. He must have been a bitc— to work for and now you want him in charge of the whole country. Unbelievable. If you can spell well enough to post your comments, you should be able to realize he's been lying to you every single day of the campaign and to top if off, you don't care. Also unbelievable.

Redhead Ranting.......you said:

Quote......Romney is a nice guy.......EndQuote

Here are a couple of additions to the comment of lakerman2:

A "nice guy" does not feign amnesia when confronted with an account of his homophobic gang assault.

A "nice guy" does not endorse candidates who believe if a teenage girl is made pregnant by her abusive alcoholic father, it is "God's will".

Mitt Romney is only a "nice guy" in the minds of those who will overlook virtually any character flaws to defeat President Obama not because he has been ineffective, but because he has been extraordinarily effective.

JD

Clearly you do not understand what you read.

What you believe in is man's dreams, not God's

Obama effective?? Well...I'm sure that's why he is in a dead heat race with the rest of America that thinks he has been an utter failure! You would rather vote for the same mistake twice. That tells me that you overlook the most obvious lack of traits of being an effective president. Sure...buy the same old tired line of hope and change...it was a nice slogan back in 2008, now it's just a cheap punch line...

Vote Romney/Ryan!

Don't vote for four more years of failure with Obama!

Redhead -

There's a good chance that Obama will also be facing a prison term for his actions during Benghazi and Fast & Furious. Benghazi is incompetence at its best, bordering on treason - and personally, I feel that his dereliction of duty is criminal. It is his motives which, when they do come out, will be found to be treasonous.

@Tammy-311614#2.13: Sure hope you don't drive drunk too.

Tammy, et al, you realize you'd actually have to have some sort of fact-y thingies to successfully prosecute someone, right? You can get away without them for impeachment (good luck with that, all the same), but as it stands, courts are still requiring evidence, versus made up crap in your head. Guess you can dream. Always a chance you can get some nice Nazi, anti-democracy judges in the Supreme Court, or re-write the constitution you all claim to hold so sacrosanct. Righties seem to love torture and oppressing voting rights, so I'm sure you'll have no issue with removing the necessity for evidence. Just like those good ol' courts in old USSR and China.

Smoking crack would be more along the lines of what Obama has done...

Nevada1050....

President Obama is doing the single most important thing he can to assist fellow Americans afflicted by events beyond their control: defeat Mitt Romney.

Nevada, I notice that you (and others today) don't condemn ROMNEY for Campaigning today. Romney never STOPPED campaigning, in fact. He decided to send his supporters out to buy $5,000 worth of goods so that people coming to his "relief effort" could be handed a jar of peanut butter or a bottle of water in order to GET IN THE DOOR to hand it to Romney for a photo op and then they tried to sell T-SHIRTS and PINS and BUMPER STICKERS to those same people as they exited. Obama stopped campaigning for SEVERAL days while he got the FEMA stuff in motion, called the governors of the effected states and generally did what he could to get help to those who lost EVERYTHING.

If you're going to condemn one, you HAVE to condemn the other. Otherwise you just reveal yourself as a person who really DOESN'T care about those who lost everything. If it's ok for ROMNEY and RYAN to be on the campaign trail, it's ok for Obama. It's just that simple. Or are you another person who believes that Romney is allowed to operate under different rules from everybody else?

Bull, Nevada. Wrong. He's failed to help or even contact communities that were hit with disasters in Mass. WHEN HE WAS GOVERNOR OF MASS. He would NOT be doing a G-D thing other than what he WANTS to do. If Romney is "allowed" to be campaigning in the final days then so is Obama. After all, at least Obama DID SOMETHING TO HELP - whereas Romney just KEPT campaigning and tried to pass it off like he was trying to help.

Romney only cares about ROMNEY and his OWNERS.

http://www.sungazette.com/page/blogs.detail/display/1072/How-Mitt-Romney-governed-during-natural-disasters.html

Tell me again that Obama should NOT be campaigning. After all ... that's EXACTLY what Romney was doing when floods hit the state he was SUPPOSED to be Governing. He refused to HELP the people of his OWN STATE. Meanwhile, Obama was on the phone multiple times to the Governors of the effected states telling them if they needed anything to LET HIM KNOW.

Hey GT, so you don't believe the liberals are the party of racists? Go back into your history lessons and research which party was overwhelmingly against the Civil Rights Act. Then hand the crack pipe to O, he's going to need to dull his senses some more.

wgrider - you guys never get tired of that shell game, do you? Southern Strategy. Nixon. LBJ locking the transfer of racists from old Democratic party to the new Republican party with his support for Civil Rights Act. Were you hoping no one would notice?

Romney creates more prosperity for the already prosperous.

Obama creates opportunity for all.

A prosperous country makes life better for everybody.

Welfare is up 32% under Obama's watch.

Unemployment has been chronically high for over 40 months.

Food stamp recipients have increased by 17 million.

Is this your idea of opportunity for all?

0bama creates prosperity?

Why am I making less than I did last year? Why will I pay more in taxes next year than last year?

Sadly, you are not alone. The median family income in the country is down $5,000 since Obama took office. If you want to make 10% less in 4 years, double down on that clown Obama.

Where is it written that any economic disaster of whatever gigantic proportions can be magically repaired within the period of one presidential term?

President Obama has been a great President even though he has been seriously distracted while trying to fix the awful mess you folks created. His second term will not face such distractions. That is exactly why you are nearly hysterical in your desire to defeat him.

National demographics do not bode well for you GOPeaParty folk. You know it. That's why you are feverishly trying to undo our democracy before it is too late for you to do so.

Ian

Where is it written that any economic disaster of whatever gigantic proportions can be magically repaired within the period of one presidential term?

The forgotten depression of 1920 - 1923. You know how they got into the Depression? Do you know how they got out of it? I do, there really big spending programs and increasing taxes. Then that Stupid Calvin Coolidge reversed all that and that to the Hoover Crashed of the Market in 1929.

Ian - If you believe what I just wrote, you have bigger problems than you know. Even if you believe parts of what I just wrote, you are a victim of a really ideoloically based school teaching that thinks life ended with Herbert Hoover and began with FDR. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Actually the Depression from 1920 - 1923 was caused by government overspending and over taxing. Businesses couldn't handle the 5th tax increase in 5 years and with the drop of demand simply closed the business and layed everyone off. Unemployment jumped from about 5% to 9.5% during 1920. The Baffoons in government had no Idea what was going on.

Warren G Harding ran on cutting the spending and cutting taxes, just because it was obvious that the spending was severly bloated and had to be fixed and that raising taxes was not covering the bloated spending. Harding didn't know what he did was the correct prescription to cure a depression. His staff didn't even know that there was a depression because the numbers we track today were not in use yet.

With a series of 3 years of spending cuts and tax cuts, not only did the budget get back to balanced, but unemployment returned to 5% by the end of 1923. Republicans later caught on to the relation of government spending an economic performance and now live it.

Help me out here, when Obama states voting is the best revenge, exactly what was done that would entice one to seek revenge? Revenge on who?

Prediction: We won't have a declared winner of this election until several days/weeks from now.

RUreallythatnaive......

President Obama refers to "revenge" on those who are trying to disenfranchise millions of American voters.

DB Akron......

The Great Depression was, primarily, caused by REPUBLICAN policies which, essentially, turned our securities markets into casinos. It was the CLASSIC republican bubble. Much legislation was subsequently passed attempting to prevents its recurrence. Currently, republicans are working hard to return our economy to the days immediately before that depression.

A REPUBLICAN bubble is exactly what Romney's policies would produce (again). As always, the bubble will burst leaving the wealthy even more wealthy and the middle class picking up the bill and suffering the sorrows.

This is exactly why Romney wants to be president: to further economically insulate his class from "lower" classes.

Ian Emdee

Where is it written that any economic disaster of whatever gigantic proportions can be magically repaired within the period of one presidential term?

I believe your beloved O penned that line when he made the statement at the worst of the recession that if he didn't get it turned around in the first 4 years, he would be a one term president. I hold him at his word.

One and done.

Romney/Ryan 2012-2020

Our economy has "turned around"......wgrider.

Virtually all economic indicators are headed in positive direction.

BTW---Many of the statements made by candidate Obama (which you folks love to cite) were made BEFORE the bottom fell out of our economy in Sept. 2008 and beyond.

Where is this mysterious voter suppression? Sheesh, you must be tired of regurgitation these lame talking point lies.

It didn't work, the people are too smart for you guys.

"Ain't" nothing mysterious about it. It must make you feel very proud to be affiliated with a political party whose idea of running a campaign, or the party for that matter, is based on scare tactics, voter suppression, disenfranchising voters, targeting low income, primarily black communities and trying to suppress their votes, voter intimidation. Yeah, that's a great party to belong to. Can you say mafia?

"GOP's push to suppress vote threatens democracy"

VOTE: O & JOE, FOR HONEST DEMOCRACY!

Democrats and pollsters are predicting a one percent increase in democratic voter participation over the record 08 levels this election.

Where is the suppression?

More than likely they are just laying the groundwork of excuses for their lackluster democratic enthusiasm.

Wow I can pull lies out of my a$$ all day too. Why don't you give some proof of this voter suppression?

Would this be like the Black Panthers in the last presidential election?

Why don't you give some proof of this voter suppression?

Hey Slingblade -

Gop heads in every swing State have used tactics to prevent voters, or at least make it very difficult to vote, such as stringent voter id laws based on non existent voter fraud allegations, to closing the polls early, which gives the Repubes an edge.

O&Joe in 24 hours

Slingblade and Repubes...That criticism hurt so much I'm going to now vote democrat.

I hope when all this is over Feisty gives you guys your balls back.

Redhead, how about the fact that Spanish voter registration materials in Arapaho Co. in Arizona were printed with the WRONG ELECTION DATE ON THEM? And it wasn't even that the date was written out (El Seis de Noviembre) it was a NUMBER (8 de Noviembre). How the HE11 do you mistake a 6 for an 8 when it's NUMBERS?

@Cat-1200657#7.8: Most republicans that can read and write, will write a pack of lies just as quickly as they will tell 'em. Fact they are always right proud to do such. Makes 'em feel more republican. Regards

"Gop heads in every swing State"

In EVERY swing state? Really? That sucking sound is your credibility, or what you had left anyway.

Nice to see you too:)

Princeton Election Consortium? A liberal group think. Pfff.

Romney/Ryan 2012

Nope. A neuroscientist/stat geek who correctly predicted every state in the 2004 election.

@Independent Thought#10.1: Just gotta try to grin and bear it. No matter how carefully you plan the picnic, no matter how carefully you check the ground before you spread the ground blanket, soon as you open the basket, the ants take over, and quick as a cat can lick it's ass, they've eaten every damn bite you brought, and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it. Ahh, such is life.

Liesyoubelieve: thanks for so completely illustrating how deluded and out of touch with reality the fox fed right wing is. Stop believing all those lies and step into the light of intelligence and truth!

@Nevada1050#15.2: Don't know who feeds you, but, I can tell what you been eating. I'm sure you are admired by the hardiest of America's bulls.

It also means Rest and Relaxation, which they should be getting plenty of after Tuesday. Then when they're rested, they can look for work.

AJ -- They want to outlaw abortions and tighten access to birth control so we, "you people", can procreate enough to provide low-paid workers for their corporations and soldiers for their wars. Then when we reach a certain age, instead of providing health care for us, we can just die off and provide space for the next generation. Sounds extreme, I know, but if you take their policies and allow them to extend a generation or two into the future, that's the kind of society we'd end up with.

I'm sure Fox can always use another commentator....and DC can always use another lobbyist.

Father Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do Luke 23:34.

Ryan and Romney say they believe in Hope and they believe in change.

"Of course we believe these things.

We believe in Social Security.

We believe in work for the unemployed.

We believe in saving homes.

Cross our hearts and hope to die, we believe in all these things.

But we do not like the way the present administration is doing them.
