Eric Thayer / Reuters
Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan and his wife Janna vote during the U.S. Presidential election accompanied by their children Charlie, Sam and Liza in Janesville, Wisconsin November 6, 2012.
Asked if the GOP ticket would win Tuesday, Ryan told reporters after casting his ballot: "I think we are, I feel good about it."
The Wisconsin congressman and his wife, Janna, voted at the Hedberg Library in their hometown of Janesville. Ryan’s three children -- Liza, Charlie, and Sam -- joined their parents as well.
Who did Ryan vote for?
"It'll be suspenseful," the congressman, wearing a suit, joked with reporters as he walked into the library.
"It felt good waking up in my hometown,” Ryan said after submitting his ballot. “It felt good coming to this neighborhood I grew up in. I went to junior high about 60 yards that way. So it’s great to be here in my hometown. It’s great to vote and we’re really excited."
Ryan will head to the battleground states of Ohio and Virginia before heading to the election night party in Boston this evening.

RomneyRyan do Ayn Rand's bidding, from the grave:
"Mitt Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, share a similarly dim view of a very large portion of Americans, according to previously unreported remarks by Ryan. Both believe that many of their fellow citizens are dependent on government and have no motivation to improve their lives -- but they disagree over the precise number."
Romney's estimate, famously, is 47 percent. For Ryan, it's 30 percent.
"Seventy percent of Americans want the American dream. They believe in the American idea. Only 30 percent want their welfare state," Ryan said. "Before too long, we could become a society where the net majority of Americans are takers, not makers.""

WOW, even Ryan voted for Obama...

Has Willard made a decision on which "home" state he & Queen Annie will vote in?
Thank God...Mitt is finally done..
and I don't have to see Mitt's sorry arse on TV everyday spewing falsehood and ruining my daily TV watching..
and now I can watch Big Bird without having to worry about Big Bird getting into the Endangered Species List.
.
4 more years....and save Big Bird...save our children.
Ryan will head to the battleground states of Ohio and Virginia before heading to the election night party in Boston this evening.
Isn't it against political campaign law to campaign on election day!!!!! i don't think i have ever seem that before, even when 2000 was so close Bush or Gore did not try for your vote on election day.
that is so strange.
Backhouse, the irony is, Paul Ryan has been mooching off the government his entire life, much like most rightwingers, like Karl Rove and Michelle Bachman. They wouldn't know how to support themselves, if they had to earn a living from an honest day's work.
Amy, yes. Ryan Inc (1884) spent hundreds of $millions of federal dollars, building roads and highways.
(The Ryans DID NOT BUILD THAT.)
Romney spent hundreds of $millions in federal dollars for the Olympics. (Romney Did Not Build That.)
And when BainRomney left communities and thousands devastated without jobs, healthcare, homes, children's college funds, and retirement.....folks turned to...government assistance.
All the while BainRomney was lining his own pockets at the expense of ordinary workers' families --- and we now find he paid ZERO taxes from 1996 to 2009 (Bloomberg). This guy couldn't tell the truth if he was nailed to it.

The last guy that cried on the campaign trail, Edmond Muskie, went down in flames. And certainly Mr. Obama was not crying because this was his last campaign stop (albeit, he has spent a considerable amount of his presidency campaigning). He was crying because he obviously fears he is about to lose. And when he does lose he will have no one but himself to blame.His campaign was based purely on attacks and he offered no vision or plan for the future. He tried to, again, run on a slogan, Forward, but all the voters could see was the country going forward into the financial abyss if Mr. Obama were to be reelected. If you were to ask today, election day, Mr. Obama's most ardent supporters what are the specifics of his plan to reduce the national debt, stop deficit spending and create private sector jobs, deal with trade, etc... all you would get are blank stares or maybe some canned talking points devoid of any substance whatsoever. No wonder he wants to play basketball, he has nothing to talk about and offers no leadership. And when you waste a golden opportunity to provide leadership to the greatest country on earth that's something to cry about.
HEY BO,
WHICH PROMISES DID HE MAKE GOOD ON???...JUST LIST THE ONES THAT "COUNT" PLEASE
THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING....
I have to say that of all the posters on this site, you are in a class by yourself!
Ryan's hitting the road??? Thank God! Buh bye!

I decided that once I got the kids off to school this morning, I'd celebrate America and our great democracy by watching the news all day and taking a shot every time someone on NBC says the word 'battleground'.
It's currently 8:44am where I am. And I'm waaaaaasted...
Hey Ticked.
Pick away...

Typical...You cant name any yourself?
I've seen all the fluff thats been posted before, I'm talking about just 1 promise that was substantial that he kept?
There's not 1 single IMPORTANT thing on that link that Obama promised and then kept.
Shouldn't it be easy for you to name just 1 off the top of your head????
Yes, Kate looks like all the other libtarded women on this post (Fiesty, Sanity, Ana, Amy B,etc.) and in the Obama administration (Hillary, Mooch-elle, Nepolitano, Kagan, etc.). Yuck!
Don't renege in 2012. Leave the lying coward behind like he did our ambassador, 2 navy seals and an aide. We're going to send the BenghaziGate POS and Mooch-elle back to crime ridden Chicago where they belong.
Jimmy Carter now comes in black.

Sorry "NoNeck" McCain didn't fulfill his promise to you.

O Canada ....
Kate,
Romney Ryan Man date ... that is so gay.
The only thing that scares me is that there are more fools like you out there.
I knew you couldn't name just 1
Seems like you'd be willing to jump all over that with at least 5 GOOD PROMISES THAT HE KEPT!
BUT, you cant even name 1
THAT'S WHY ROMNEY WILL BE OUR 45TH PRESIDENT!!!

For the past two months an intense voter outreach campaign has swept across Escondido.
“We’ve been going around to the houses and leaving wave after wave of materials to remind people to vote,” said Ana Castro, a campaign volunteer.
The “Nuestro Voto, Nuestro Futuro” or “Our Vote, Our Future” campaign has been targeting 40 densely Latino populated precincts. The bilingual non-partisan campaign has reached out to nearly 30,000 Latinos, with fliers to a phone bank, urging them to register to vote.
“Out of that, [we have received] 6,000 pledges to vote,” said Norma Chavez-Peterson the campaign’s coordinator.
According to the San Diego County Registrar, of voters the push has been a success. Since February, more than 40,000 new Latino voters have registered countywide.
Averaging 5,000 registrants a month, while setting a new record for Latino registered voters in San Diego County
"We’re participating in the process," explained Chavez-Peterson. "We’re saying we want to make this country stronger and we’re proud of it."
Castro added, “It’s important because in Escondido there has been low Latino voter turnout.”
But after a series of workshops and a registration drive, campaign volunteers not only want to make sure voters are well informed, but that their rights are also protected at the polls.
“Some people don’t even know that they have the right to ask for the ballot in their language that they feel the most comfortable with. So that’s just basic know your rights,” said Chavez-Peterson.
Whether republican or democrat, the message is simple. “Exercise your right to vote this is what makes the democracy strong,”Said Chavez-Peterson.“If you don’t vote, don’t complain.”
The campaign is also partnering with the ACLU to make sure voters know their rights. Tuesday the ACLU will have volunteers at polls across the county to answer any questions voters may have. You can call the campaign office at: 760-624-VOTO(8686)
The ACLU has also set up a voter hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) and in Spanish 888-VE-Y-VOTA (888-839-8682).
You're the fool Ticked.
You think we are going to beleive more BS promises from the GOP?
When was the last time they did what they ran on?
What has the GOP done for America in the last 40 years?
I gave you my BO list.
Where's your GOP list.
Good luck on that BS.
IT DOESN'T EXIST.
EVERYONE knows the GOP has ZERO accomplishments.
Only brainwashed morons with dollar signs in their eyes ($) ($) vote for the GOP.
I'd like you to tell me what the GOP has done for women in the past 40 years?
YOU STILL CANT NAME JUST 1
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO NAME JUST 1 IMPORTANT PROMISE THAT HE MADE AND THEN KEPT
AND I DONT HAVE A LIST...BARACK OBAMA IS THE PRESIDENT ...(FOR NOW)
IF THERE WERE A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT I COULD GIVE YOU A LIST
KingK - Our President showed how touched he was by a crowd that came out in cold weather and stood waiting for just a chance to see him. His tear was one of acknowledgement that he won't be in this position again - that this is his last campaign before beginning his 2nd term as President.
Strong men are not afraid to show emotion. The fact you have a problem with it and can't see it as anything but failure says everything about you - and nothing about our fine President!
Obama/Biden 2012
The Stock market up 160pts.. It approves President Obama for a 2nd Term.

THEY DO NOT EXIST.
The GOP always runs on LIES and MONEY.
They BUY and STEAL votes.
The GOP cannot EARN votes.
They can't because they do not have a record to earn them.
The GOP is made up of CON artists
The GOP is in bed with the super rich like the Kochs.

Kate is a rereg, retread troll. Flag IT, report IT, and ignore IT.
Good Luck and Godspeed to our next Vice President!
DEMOCRATS FOR ROMNEY/RYAN 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey Reddev, care to find out which re-reg is Obama Wins Obama Wins 4 more for 44 ? Maybe you'll flag and report that one too? I doubt it though, hate to get in the way of your hypocrisy
If the right wing lunatic fringe sound whiny now, just imagine how they'll bawl when the election results are finalized and their lying, thieving candidates have lost! This is more fun than watching try to make sense out of Romney's speeches!
Red Dev - thanks for the heads up. I knew it was new but good to know it's a rereg!
Obama/Biden 2012
Tomorrow you're going to have good news regardless of who wins...
Gas prices will drop because BIG Oil cannot control the election to blame Obama anymore.
I suspect that as more Democrats get home from work tonight you will see the Obama vote tallies surge even higher. Democrats actually work for a living, and I for one would love to arrange one-way tickets for all those whining little nancy boys who said they'd close up shop and leave the country if Obama was re-elected. Let's all pass the hat for their bus fare.
Looks like a replay of 2008.
Romney is history. Bus fare for that ass too.
I voted for Obama.
I remember how it was when he took the helm in the White House:
Want a repeat OF THAT??!!
Then join me in voting a straight Democratic ticket and throw out the republican pestilence that has been a parasite on our people for far too long. Make the repubs get a real job and put them to work off the government dole for once in their miserable lives.
OBAMA/BIDEN today, now. The battle is joined!
would any of you die hard RWNJ like to make a bet? I bet Obama wins and You bet Romney wins, If I win you Turn off Fox news for 30 days, and If you win I turn on Fox for 30 Days. I figure If I win You will have a chance at least to be Deprogrammed and If I watch Fox I know I am smart enough not to be Programmed
Obama/Biden 2012 Lets Tell the wealthy to stay away from our middle-class money and to finally pay there FAIR Share

@Bo - it's best to just ignore Ticked. He is as delusional as Charles Manson on his way to the electric chair proclaiming he is innocent. Ticket is going down in flames, and is pissy, pissy, pissy.
You name it Sirie, I am a Progressive Democrat, which means I am quite off unlike a Republicon who are majority $8-$10 hr workers with no Benefits and are grateful for the scraps that are thrown to them.
Obama/Biden 2012.........FORWARD
Tricked, or Dicked in Ohio, either way. Right about half of us think the other way Mr. Ticked, so there's nothing to get all high and mighty about. (but it is good to win--hope we all know by tomorrow!)
The link has "quite a few" nice accomplishments...you just have to double-click, wait, read. Pretty simple.
Princeton reports ... I will post later as to what.
Now that all the polls are in, it’s possible to perform variance minimization, a simple procedure to identify the range of polls that can be used – and therefore reduce uncertainty. We’ll have that in a bit. Calculating and double-checking…stand by.

I don't even know how Republican Voters can see how corrupt the GOP is and then still go out and vote for those criminals, and then try to defend them, and then try to re-write history to try to protect those thugs!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
So, Ticked, you sound like you are hanging onto sanity by a mere thread. There is such a distinct smell of desperation in your rantings. Calm down, and stop being so combative with everyone. Do you react this way in your everyday life? If you do, I gotta tell you, friend, this is not a healthy way to live your life. Good mental health plays a big part in our overall physical health. Just trying to help a fellow American out. Peace

Yes, Kate looks like all the other libtarded women on this post (Fiesty, Sanity, Ana, Amy B,etc.) and in the Obama administration (Hillary, Mooch-elle, Nepolitano, Kagan, etc.). Yuck!
THIS POST SHOWS A REAL IGNORANCE AND I'M SO GLAD THIS PERSON IS A ROMNEY PERSON.
I'll pose a question for you, Ticked.
Just name one issue on which Romney has not completely reversed his position.
Should be easy, right?
By the way, my ONE promise kept by Barack Obama was Obamacare. Politically unpopular, but the right thing to do and hard promise kept.
See what happens when you 'stay the course' and don't keep flip/flopping?
Red,
Check - check & check!
A digusting re-reg at that!
We are all agreed that the whiners should hit the road, their freak show of lies finally ended last night but they are convincing themselves that they still have today to foam from both sides of their mouth. Why are they still campaigning? Do they think that people in Ohio will forget the Jeep lie or the 5t. tax cut that don't add up. It is over folks, Jack please hit the road, we will provide them a one way ticket to night, thanks.
Okay Okay Okay you Reich Wing Knuckle Dragging Fascist Neo Con American Taliban Have finally convinced me about Romney for POTUS, The problem is I have already Voted straight Democrat this morning along with my Family....maybe next time...NOT
Obama/Biden 2012 It is time to take the Political American Taliban Trash out
Fiesty calling someone else disgusting? HaHaHaHaHaHa. Now that's rich.
And you libtards/turds be sure to hurry up and get rid of that dissenting view. Then get those heads back in the sand. Hurry now. Check - check & check. That libtardism is such a horrible disease.
Reddev or anyone else, how do you all recognize or suspect that someone is a rereg? Do you go by rhetoric, writing style? Just wondering?
Looks like the exodus has already begun to be honest. I haven't seen nearly as much incendiary posting from the right wing today. The only ones I see really are the ones that bought into that whole, 'every pollster is using a +8 Dem model' thing that the right wing talking heads were floating.
It's gonna be a sad day for Ticked when he realizes that Romney is not ahead in Ohio by 6 points.
TNSEVOL,
Obamacare was nothing but an added tax for us to pay.
We already had medicaid to provide for people with low or no income and no healthcare facility is permitted to turn anyone away that needs medical care.
We already were paying for those people and now on top of paying for Obamacare we're going to be paying for the thousands of govt workers needed to administrate Obamacare on top of the thousands of additional IRS agents that will be hired to enforce the healthcare law
We will all have to pay more taxes to pay their salaries and pay for their pensions.
And when was all this accomplished?...The first 2 years of Obamas presidency.
Thats when he had control of the house and the senate and could have gotten this country back on it's feet.
But instead he wanted to feed his ego and cement his place in history with this national healthcare TAX!
I personally think it is writing style, and wording, I have been using this quote for close to 4 years now " Knuckle Dragging Reich Wing Neo Con Fascist American Taliban "
Obama/Biden 2012 for your childrens future
Everyone who dislikes Obama should give back all the money from the tax breaks he gave them.
Typical of the modern day Republicans, they can't stand when Democrats give Americans and American businesses tax breaks.
Ticked -
That is a sad misrepresentation of Obamacare.
Those with Medical Insurance are already paying for those without insurance via higher premiums.
All independent research predicts rates will go down under Obamacare.
No more denying coverage for pre-existing conditions, kids can stay on their parent's plans longer, no lifetime 'cap' on coverage - all common sense reforms that will improve lives.
No new workers, no new IRS agents, no 'death panles' - that is all Republican distortion.
No new taxes unless you refuse to purchase coverage - I thought Republicans were all about personal responsibility and paying your own way?
You will really be 'Ticked" tomorrow when Pres. Obama wins Ohio!
By the way, you did not answer MY question:
Can you name even one issue on which Romney has not completely reversed his position?
Yes, because this sort of conversational starter is bound to be a gateway to a scintillating discourse about the the issues of the day.
I know the first thing I want to do every day is have a long, involved discussion with someone who starts out by calling me excrement.
Mark,
Also their "birth date"...
You think we're paying high premiums?...Wait til you see the tax bill for Obamacare
Hopefully, that wont happen because Romney is going to win and immediately repeal Obamacare.
Romneys position on the issue of marriage...thats my one.
I see Freud was right

Ticked: Obamacare.
Even before I read Tnsevol's post, I was going to post Obamacare myself.
You asked for one promise Obama has kept. He promised to reform health care and he did it.
Compalin all you want. Deflect all you want. Obamacare is law. It is a promise kept.

Still pissed Obama got credit for the AHA, and not Romeny? Well, so is he.

How laughable you are!
;O)
Ticked - I understand your loyalty but your facts are plan wrong.
Obamacare helps individuals like my family by standing up to the insurance agencies and telling them that they can't turn use down because of pre-existing conditions. My wife was recently downsized from her job and last week diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. So this means I can transfer her to my insurance and she can still be covered for all the medical tests and procedures that are sure to follow. Thank God that this was passed.

THE BIRTH WAS SO COMPLICATED THE DOCTOR HAS TO TELL MY FATHER THAT THEY WILL MAKE SURE THEY SAVE MY MOTHER, BUT NOT SURE ABOUT THE CHILD THAT WAS 8 WEEK PREMATURE. THANK GOD MY BROTHER SURVIVED, AS DID MY MOTHER. HE HAS HAD A GOOD FULLFLIIED LIFE AND WAS MAIN STREEMED AND HAS A JOB TODAY.
STOP BEING A SICK SOB AND GROW UP.
Ticked -
Oh, so sorry but that is NOT a correct answer. During his 1994 Senate campaign against Ted Kennedy, Romney said he 'would be to the left of Kennedy' on Gay Rights.
Romney went from supporting 'Full Equality" to only supporting Civil Unions in less than a year.
YEA!!!!!!
After today, no more lying political ads...............until the next
election anyway.
Rock da Vote!
The mandate was called a tax by judge Roberts because all the right wing judges drew straws at who will allow Obamacare to go through.They knew that they would be in deep S#!t if the didn't pass it.So they called it a tax for convenience.Nixon, McCain, Romney and Gingrich, all FOR mandate before they were against it! Hell, Romney drafted the ORIGINAL Obamacare!It could have been passed as is but the conservative SCOTUS screwed it up to please their masters.That mandate only affects a tiny fraction of people who cannot pay. (around 2%)NOT YOU OR MEObama made good on his promise and delivered it.He could have done better but the GOP screwed with him and made him go around in circles.Finally he caught on and stopped dealing with the aholes. I'm glad.
F O R W A R D > > > > > > >
opposing view helps too. You see Kate is probably a re-reg and of course the progressive left has an issue with that particular individual however as Feisty suggested a 'birth date' like
Obama Wins Obama Wins 4 more for 44 which is today and they have no problems with that re-reg. Simply being an Obama fan its ok.
mark in short it would appear some of your lefty friends have a paranoia with re-regs but only with opposing views.
WTH did this lunatic say?
go figure1
:O)
4 More for 44

So, $10,000.00 ok with you?
We can set it up with a broker right now, you give me a list of your brokers, I'll give you a list of mine...
};~)
Yellowdog - all the above, and as Feisty said, birthdate.
I got Scottrade and E Trade but I dont think I will give you my acct #s, Nice try Tho.
Why, yes, I believe I can: Lower taxes for the wealthy.
Otherwise, I'd have to look it up.
Most normal people can get the sense from what they read without having to read every word. Normal people would know automatically what the "lunatic" said without having to have every blank filled in for them.
Get it?
If this is all you can come up with ... well, seriously. You NEED some time off.
I was trying to comfort the old lad... I think he suffers from bi-polar dysfunction.
Never heard anyone proud of being "quite off"
but then again, he did vote for Obama....
you on the other hand anna molly ??????
Sirie
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHh poor guy, i will call the WWWWHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE for you.
Your GOP is going away like the Dinosaurs and the Dodo Birds. ans Rascist people are in the Minority. So Sad what your party has become. It is now the Party of BUTT Jokes
There will be no joy at McCormick Place tonight, stanky Obama has struck out.
"Before hitting the road"?
Okay, am I the only one now humming "Hit the road, Paul.....and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more"?
"Asked if the GOP ticket would win Tuesday, Ryan told reporters after casting his ballot: "I think we are, I feel good about it."
Please tell me somebody didn't really ask him that stupid a question.....
Ryan is on his way out. The fact that Ryan still is running for his own House seat is very revealing...
Ryan knows he has no shot in winning to be VP
Joe Biden ran for re-election to the Senate in 2008.
JoAnne, all the questions are stupid at this point!...Like who'd Ryan vote for?.......Duh!
I've always wanted to run for political office, just so on the last day when a reporter asked me a question like that, I could tell him, "Well... honestly, no. I sort of felt like I was getting my ass kicked like Mr. T during the second fight of Rocky III for the last three weeks of the race."
But then again, if I did that, my supporters might resent me because I doubt they'd all share my sense of humor.
Would those be the roads built by Ryan Inc with Federal Government money?
Paul Ryan - The Deficit? I Built That!
What's he supposed to say?
Hmm, how about, "I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time"?
Ryan's line in his next occupation: "You want fries with that"?
From behind the counter in the Congressional cafeteria. He never did learn to work in a non-government job.
Ryan has a job and a future in his party no matter what happens in the Presidential race, so he probably feels a lot like Joe Lieberman did when he ran as VP...
secure.
The first time I saw Paul Ryan speak, I thought he was a true conservative, a person with a viewoint I could respect, but the more he talked the more I realzed "this guy is a narrow minded zealot."
Ryan reminds me of the judges during the Salem witch trials, convinced God gave them the moral authority to burn women at the stake. Who gave him the right to interfere with the decisions women make over the most intimate details of their healthcare?
This guy has been a government employee for his entire career, but he professes to admire those who risk their fortunes in the free market. Ryan doesn't know the first thing about making it in business, but he claims deregulation is paramount to growing the economy.
Ryan wants to shred the safety net, although he himself used his father's social security death benefits to pay for college. That is just one aspect of this guy's hypocrisy. That, and the fact he is rich thanks to his wife's inheritance.
Ames,
My elderly Catholic aunties can't STAND Willard but admit Paul Ryan scares the @!$%# out of them!
Amy -
Ryan would be the flip side of the coin of our Republican Senate candidate Tom Smith, who's basing most of his campaign being oh so proud of not being a Washington insider. Apparently forgetting the fact that he's spending millions of dollars to become.....a Washington insider.
Oh, and by the way, as someone who's been to Salem and even went to the really cheesy Salem Witch Museum (I still have the big purple witch ball I bought at the tacky souveneir store), I can tell you that no witches were ever burned at the stake in Salem. I think 19 were hung, and one guy was pressed to death (you don't want to know the details). Nice town today, though - we should meet there for lunch some day and do the House of the Seven Gables tour. I'm buying!
Amy, it's enough to make one wonder: "How did we define or illustrate the concept of 'hypocrisy' before today's GOP attempted to make it into a civic virtue?"
The Republicans lie, constantly, consistently, and repeatedly. They lie in situations where the truth would advance their interests much more effectively. They lie to their opposition, to their supporters and to the huddled masses who really just want to be left alone.
Mitt Romney lies so much and so frequently, I'm sure there must be someone on his staff whose job it is to keep up with all of Mitt's lies on a minute-to-minute basis, to keep "The Boss" from tripping over the lie he told two minutes ago. (That staffer will undoubtedly be murdered after RoMoney's concession speech, and his body thrown into the concrete pour for a Wal-Mart in a formerly thriving and peaceful little town in rural Oregon.)
It's a good thing God's wisdom is infinite, or even He might have trouble keeping up with Romney's incessant stream of lies!
Fortunately for the future of the Republic, there are still enough voters who remember the Bush years, and won't vote to give him a third term.
First time I saw him I thought it was Eddie Muster grown up.
Ryan: "Well now, I can get back to my P90X workouts. I have been eating and telling to many "Whoppers" about the auto industry, stimulus packages. rape and a few other odds and ends. This campaign has added a few extra pounds to my ass, even though I have been speaking out of it for sometime now."
If he would have voted for Bowles Simpson he would have shown a small bit of conviction. If his voting record during the Bush years matched his rhetoric during the Obama years it would have shown some principles. If he didn't request Stimulus money even while denouncing it as bad policy and socialistic he would have held true to his beliefs.
A defining moment was in the VP debate (after the 1st debate turning point in the Dem comeback)when Joe Biden pointed at him and said - "This guy asked for stimulus money to help create jobs. Now he says the Stimulus was not beneficial. I got the letters." What a hypocrite.
A little piece of advice Paulie. Since it looks like that gig as VP is not going to happen, don't give up your day job.
Considering he's running for re-election in his own district, that may be a formality.
Mitt needs to tie Ryan to the top of his Cadillac and GO AWAY!
Everyone needs to get out and VOTE! Reelect President Obama! He is clearly our only rational choice!

Come on Noid, the only "formality" is so he can try to keep his House seat.
Personally, I hope loses that too.
Paul Ryan hasn't been anything but a pain in the American People's hind quarters!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
SeekingSanity - One of us is going to be wrong and the other is going to be right. Unless you are praying to your demigod Obama and he has answerer you. The truth is we both hope for our candidate to win because no one can predict the future not even Obama or Romney.
You my dear are a fool among fools. By the way what on earth are you going to do after the elections. I guess back to Sesame Street with you.
Concern Citizen -
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but one of you has ALWAYS been wrong - guess which one?
If you really were a 'Concern Citizen' you could not vote for Romney, he has no 'answerer' for our economic problems except for a return to the failed policies of the Bush administration.
Hey NotSo Concerned Citizen... Why do you refer to Obama as a Demi-God? Don't you mean Uppity Negro?... The whole world knows you do so mad props on the transparency, dinosaur.
oh btw... 1963 called looking for you. It wants its ignorance back.
chick binder
What on earth are you talking about. The reason for a Demi-God. is because some of the liberals Idolize our President Obama and to me that is wrong. As far as the Negro and all the crap that you mentioned I would like to inform you that I'm not only a Latina woman, but I'm also a Negro and I'm not voting for Obama. So what is your point?
Now, since President Obama's election, all of a sudden, folks have gotten mad, and want to take America Back...BACK TO WHAT -- BACK TO WHERE is my question?
After The 8 Years Of The Bush/Cheney Disaster, Now You Get Mad?
You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.
You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate Energy policy and push us to invade Iraq.
You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.
You didn't get mad when we spent over 800 billion (and counting) on said illegal war.
You didn't get mad when Bush borrowed more money from foreign sources than the previous 42 Presidents combined.
You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars in cash just disappeared in Iraq.
You didn't get mad when Bush embraced trade and outsourcing policies that shipped 6 million American jobs out of the country.
You didn't get mad when they didn't catch Bin Laden.
You didn't get mad when Bush rang up 10 trillion dollars in combined budget and current account deficits.
You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed Veteran's Hospital.
You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.
You didn't get mad when we gave people who had more money than they could spend, the 1%, over a trillion dollars in tax breaks.
You didn't get mad with the worst 8 years of job creations in several decades.
You didn't get mad when over 200,000 US Citizens lost their lives because they had no health insurance.
You didn't get mad when lack of oversight and regulations from the Bush Administration caused US Citizens to lose 12 trillion dollars in investments, retirement, and home values.
You finally got mad when a black man was elected President and decided that people in America
deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.
Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, job losses by the millions, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, and the worst economic disaster since 1929 are all okay with you, but helping fellow Americans who are sick... Oh, Hell No!
He would have voted for Akin and Mourdock if he could have. I think Paul Ryan is going to have a hard time getting political capital back after now that he is exposed nationally. Romney/Ryan will be about as laughable as McCain/Palin in four years, for loading soup cans that they bought and distributed into a van with their North-face jackets on. Lying about Crystler, the fund raiser video, and all the flopping around on issues will be in our minds for a long time.
I saw something really interesting on one of the news shows last night. A statement was made about marketing, and how every single part of the Romney/Ryan campaign has been a marketing campaign, not an election campaign.
It really made me think. In marketing you show the best qualities about your product, without showing too many details because you want the buyer to focus on how pretty it looks on a fancy plate on your kitchen table. They don't tell you where it's specifically made, or even who makes it, but they will be the first to let you in on when they have a new package, design, and/or size. And they can even skirt around the truth, not necessarily lying straight-up (although that has been known to happen), but more like just leaving things out…not telling the entire truth.
Think about it. Like the commentator said last night, Mr. Romney's campaign is the first major presidential campaign that is wholly marketing. His 'best' qualities were shown, and often changed and/or adjusted to appeal to different types of markets. He sure was trotted out as looking presidential with his hair and his wife. But nothing was ever presented to prove exactly how he'd be as president, no specific plans on how he'd make things better for you were ever presented.
They don't tell you where he's 'made' as in where, specifically, is his home state? Michigan? Utah? Massachusetts? It's done purposefully so that if you are a supporter of his and you are from one of the states or areas around these states, you can claim him as one of your own.
But they do get specific whenever he has a new design - which equals every single time he changed his package to include support for certain programs or positions that suit his needs at any given time (like FEMA…is he for it or against it? Nobody knows..). And, like a good marketing campaign, he leaves a lot of things out, so that the consumer can just concentrate on all the physical appeal: like leaving out his tax records, for example. Who does that?
Please think about this if you are leaning towards voting for him today. It's not just enough that you are voting against Mr. Obama. You have to have reasons to vote FOR Mr. Romney and I think their marketing plan is better suited for a can of soup than for a presidential candidate.
Excellent observation Malarson! And if you order in the next fifteen minutes the next flip-flop is free (just pay shipping and handling),,, (offer not available to the young, elderly, disenfranchised, poor, middle class, immigrant, athiest, or in the state of Utah. Redemption requires registration after-the-fact.)
Since Monsignor Rayn got his beads blessed by some guy he met at a pizza joint yesterday, he is off to give his very own blessing to the great unwashed masses in Ohio. Next best thing to a visit by the Poop ! Hallejulia.
If the Republican Party were to get rid of thier extremist racsist Tea Party and get a someone that didn't change thier story to suit the people they were talking to , maybe, just maybe , I would vote for them . ---- NOT---
Vote Pres. Obama -- 4 more for 44
I wonder how many Border Patrol and ATF agents voted for Obama after he helped get a Couple of them Get killed and is Covering it up.
I wonder how many in our Military are Voting for this Administration after they gave them a Death Sentence ROE orders?
I wonder how many people changed their mind and Voted against Obama after hearing him Lie about Benghazi and their Failure to protect our fellow Citizens.
Vote for Romney/Ryan your Life might depend on it?
US Citizen - what you've posted is all lies. But you prove to be a good Republican - the truth never plays a part in your life!
Obama/Biden 2012
Prove me Wrong???????????????
US Citizen is really Donald Trump. Prove me wrong!
US Citizen - no dearie! The way it works is YOU have to prove your accusations - and you can't!
Obama/Biden 2012
US Twitizen... You might also wonder how many people are stupid enough to believe what you post. I don't see why you think being a malignant tumor on the truth is entertaining.
If you do believe me Look it up for yourself? That is my truth, You do have to believe anything I say.....Find the Truth out for yourselves, You will be more Educated and Informed to Vote Correctly.
Romney/Ryan2012
@ US citizen,
I guess you spend to much time watching Fukx News. This has already been debunked. FAST AND FURIOUS WAS STARTED IN 20O6 BY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION.
Why is it that Republicans love to keep repeating lies?
Bush ended that program in 2007, It was called Operation gun Walker, Obama and Holder started Fast & Furious in 2009, Obama had allotted Twenty five Million to Start F&F, Obama and Eric Holder are Liars, Congress caught Holder Lying During the Hearings, He is now being held in Contempt of Congress for not Cooperating with the Investigation and Refusing to give up Evidence.
Just because you did not see this on the Lamestream Propaganda Machine does not make it a Lie? You sir are the one who is not Informed or Lying?
There was never an operation called gun walker. The was an operation called Project Gunrunner that was started in 2006 and ran thur 2011. Which had several gun walking programs run with in it like Operation Wide Receiver and Operation Fast and Furious. Both of these programs were under the umbrella of Project Gunrunner.
No one is being held in contempt, no one lied. The justice department gave Issa everything he requested plus some he did not. They did however withhold papers that were not requested because they contained the names of undercover AFT agents who are still on OP's.
Issa was on a which hunt trying to make the President look bad, and the ignorant ate it up.
You got any more lies you need Debunked?
@US Citizen,
if you want to talk about something real? How about the Illegal war Bush started in Iraq Almost 5000 Americans dead over 30,000 wounded. half a million Iraqis dead 80% of them were civilians.
How about that?
Issa filed suit Against Eric Holder in Aug 2012 of this year in Federal Court, Eric Holder is still being held in Contempt, You must be one of those Lying paid Posters? The Operation under Bush was Actually called "Wide Receiver" My bad? and was shut down in 2007, Want to try again?
ALL electoral college maps have President Obama ahead by double digits.....even the right leaning sites.
President Obama, the right choice in 2008, the right choice in 2012.
Obama/Biden 2012
I voted this morning and I feel fabulous! I voted a straight Democrat ballot! I am usually open minded and I vote on the merits of a candidate, but this time I want all Republicans out so no matter who they were I voted for the Democrat! My hand actually shook as I prepared to color in the circle for President Obama. I was so excited to cast my vote for him and Joe Biden. I made sure that not one speck of ink went outside the circle. I wanted no question as to who I was voting for! Some of you Republicans will tell me that my vote has no meaning whatsoever. I say to those of you who would say that, you and those like you will never suppress my vote. It is my vote alone and I am the decider. I will not be discounted because it makes you feel better to be a bully. I am an American and I voted for president Barack Hussein Obama to be reelected as the 44th president of these United States of America!
Are you flirting with me Alaskagirl? lol
Beautiful post!
Could be. ;) (that's me winking at you! lol)
Thanks!
The MSNBc Hosts that represent themselves as the 99% are really 1%
May 24, 2011 – TV and radio personality
Ed Schultz has a lot to be jovial about, with an estimated net worth of
approximately $11.5 million
MSNBC news anchor Rachel Maddow, with an estimated net worth of
approximately 12.5 million dollars
Lawrence O'Donnell was born in Boston,
Massachusetts and has an estimated net worth of $8 million dollars.
Dec 9, 2011 – What is Chris Matthews' net worth? Chris Matthews' net
worth is $16 million dollars
And they're ALL willing to pay a little more fed inc tax because its the right thing to do. Liberals don't hate rich guys - they hate GREEDY rich guys who show no interest in helping out the down trodden and thsoe who need a helping hand to get back on their feet.
The people you mention also realize we can't cut our way out of this mess. It's going to take a combination of spending cuts AND increased taxes - probably from those who can afford it rather than those who have no spare change in their pockets. They also haven't signed a petition from Grover Norquist to not raise taxes under any circumstances - even if the integrity of the US is at stake. These people are patriots who love their country and are willing to help out.
They are the 99% in their values. That is what you jokers do not and never will get. You have no idea what is really behind the number. It is more than a number, but "you people" are too wrapped up in the bubble to understand, which is really a shame for you.
Why TP!! I'm shocked! You really think the 99%, 1% thing is a sliding scale of income levels?
Good Job trying to explain it Bleary and Alaska... Here's hoping it sticks!
Yeah, right. Trying to explain anything to "those people" is like trying to talk to a brick wall. They will never get it. Even if some did open their minds, they would never in a million years admit to it. A closed mind is a terrible thing to hide, IMO, but that is what this modern day Teapublican party is.
K. too much coffee, obviously. Should read: An open mind is a terrible thing to hide.
I've enjoyed your posts and attitude for a long time. Just recently decided to go ahead and say a word or two... Now sleazer Almostiss thinks I'm a Ruken rereg, WhateverwiththeHand thinks I sound familiar and has also asked the rereg question. It's like a "Paul Blart, Wall Cop" look-alike contest between the two now. I didn't mean to get under their skin, it was just so incredibly thin...
You are correct. An Open mind is a terrible thing to waste. A closed mind is a terribly wasted thing.
Thanks chick binder, that means alot to me. I don't waste my time trying to figure out who is who and who is using multiple names, who has been kicked off the island and come back under another name. They are all the same to me if they spew their venomous hatred because others do not think the way they do(thank God for big favors!). On a serious note, I am really nervous about this election. The president has faced so much adversity over the last four years, yet he has achieved a historic amount by any modern day president's record. I just hate for it all to be taken away when he and so many of us fought really hard to make sure that the LGBT Community has the right to be with the one they love and serve openly and proud in the military. I think that has been the biggest hypocrisy in this nation. Anyway, I could go on and on as I am sure you could. I've got fingers and toes crossed for an Obama victory!
I've paid close attention figuring it was my duty as a citizen even when i wanted to look away. The amount of racism that still exists was, and continues to be a shock to me. from the flippin Congress on down. I have NO respect for people that put color before common sense or project their belief systems onto the lives of others. America is supposed to be the land of freedom and clearly we have a huge amount of ignorant stragglers that do not understand what that means at all.
Take heart Alaskagirl... I predict an ultimate Obama win and, if the obstruction continues afterward, a clearing of the house of representatives to follow. The faux religiostic obstructionists would gladly have America turn to dust even as the rest of the free world cheers us on to lead the way.
We are young as a nation and this grand experiment was not meant to suffer the slings and arrows of special interests. Least of all religion among our elected ranks. Those that have hampered the American dream will have their come-uppance.
Excellent post. And, from your lips to............
I wish those of us on the correct side of history and true human values a clear victory for a path FOURWARD!
Little "Richie Rich" Ryan needs to work on his math skills. Then he needs to work on the specifics of his Economic Plan, his Tax Plan, his Trade Policy, and his views on Foreign Policy. His current Budget excludes the Middle Class, the Working Poor, the elderely, and the disabled. His Tax Policy heavily favors the very rich, and has been clearly stated to be immoral. WOW! Ask little "RIchie Rich" Ryan was on the evening of Janruary 20, 2009? Well he was at the Caucus Restaurant in Washington D.C. He was leading a Tea Begger "Conspiracy" against the People Of The United States. On this evening of Tea Begger 'revenge.' They took a "Blood Oath" too destroy the US Economy at all costs. Then the Tea Beggers wanted to make this President out to be lazy, a terrorist, dumb, incompetent, not a Christian, and that he does not know how to be an American. Does this sound familiar?? Have heard this crap before America? "Nutty Newt" attended the Tea Begger "Caucus Conspiracy" on Janruary 20, 2009. Now "Nutty Newt" has used such words to describe the President as the "Food Stamp President." This extremely "Mentally Ill Tea Begger" started making this spewing up on Janruary 20, 2009. Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! The WHOLE Party Of NO has got to go!!"
But wait!! Trump is doing robo-calls for Romney!... I hope he doesn't have any land-line phone company stock because he just pretty much trashed that industry. Oh well, what's another bankruptcy among friends?
I can't quite figure out Rassmussen's polling in Ohio. They show Obama and Romney tied at 49% each, but the details tell a different story.
Per Rassmussen:
1. Obama leads 60% to 37% among the 40% of likely voters in Ohio who have already voted.
2. Obama leads 50% - 49% amongst the 93% of likely voters who have made up their minds about who they will vote for.
3. Obama won Ohio in 2008 by a margin of 51% to 47%, and currently has a 51% approval rating versus 48% who disapprove.
4. Obama has a 50%/49% favorable/unfavorable rating.
All of those factors would lead you to believe Pres. Obama has at least a two-point lead in Ohio, 51% to 49%. At a minimum based on Job Approval, Favorability, and Decided voters numbers he should be at 50%.
I think Scott Rasmussen will have a lot to answer for tomorrow when his 2012 polls are as inaccurate and Republican-leaning as they were in 2010.
This just in:
"Democrats take an early lead at the polls. That advantage could change when the Republicans get off work and vote."
What a scorching commentary. I hope they've saved up enough of the minimum wage pay for gas to get them there. Everyone needs to vote, even the undereducated white male racist constitchency polling heavily for their rapists.
Believe you may find that the majority of minimum wage earners are voting Democrat, just in case they have to take a pay cut or lose the job altogether.
And happy two week anniversary on your joining Newsvine community.
Are you a rereg or a new minion? Your posts sound vaguely familiar.
No rereg, but you can call me minion for one whole day now if that will help you. Is being new a bad thing? The party is almost over, so I'm just gonna hang out until it's time to pick up that punch-bowl you've been bobbing around in all these months.
Sleazer Almostiss called me ruken yesterday... his diabolical arch nemesis no doubt! You guys are a hoot.
Vote Romney if you are tired of being unemployed, Under Employed or on Welfare? If you like the SSDD Vote for the Food Stamp President.
I say Romney/Ryan! Strong Economy! Strong Military! Strong America!
You're not a REAL US citizen... Are you? The reason I ask is that you seem to post without having had access to any information regarding the United States or its current Presidential candidates. Are you perhaps manning a polar station of some sort for a foreign entity?
No I am not a Foreigner, I am about as Native as one can be, You seem a little Clueless to me are you a Terrorist attacking US Citizens?
Thank God! Less than one more day to put up with these contemptible bastards! Romney/Ryan goes on the trash heap of history today!
Interesting how Ryan was brought onto the campaign because he was the young, handsome, numbers guru who help the ticket "focus on the issues." Then he went on national television and gave a convention speech that was nothing but a stream of very checkable lies and misstatments. After that, he pretty much became "a Catholic deerhunter" and disappeared from view. MItt wanted Chris Christie, but jilted him at the last minute for Ryan. Ow, boy. A Christie scorned. And now Chris has read the data and knows that Mitt can pretty much strap the dog to the car and head for home. So it's, "I'm not campaigning for you. I'm staying here and acting the governor 'cuz 2016 ain't that far away." Well, you know what they say. It's not over until the fat guy sings.
Ryan will get a show on Fox News as a consolation prize.
Obama wins by 1 in groups +4 Democrat, too bad the electorate is +3 Republican.
