People would actually be wise to vote for the opposing candidate of anybody Sarah Palin endorses... It's just common sense!!

Amen to that.

Palin is a person with a mission... to destroy America.

Who let this dog out? Blame McJohn McCain.

I hope they all make statements supporting Obama/Clooney on gay marriage. Then the Republicans can have a super majority in the Senate.

Backing from a Nut like Palin is not cool !!!!!!!! Looks like Palin is the Zookeeper for the TeaReTards !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Colorado-Man

"Then the Republicans can have a super majority in the Senate."

Gee, and why don't we just fire our ICBM arsenal straight up in the air a few miles and let them rain down us? That would have a similar effect to allowing the GOP to once again rule Congress. We barely survived the last time.

You cannot no matter how hard you try separate CAUSE from EFFECT. The nation and by proxy the world was brought to a FINANCIAL COLLAPSE by the previous administration's CONSERVATIVE IDEOLOGY and policies. Yet somehow Obama is expected to perform miracles WITH NO HELP AND NOTHING BUT OBSTRUCTION from conservatives.

If you love this country you must give this president what he needs to set the country on a steady course of growth. HOWS ALL THAT AUSTERITY STUFF WORKING FOR YOU now that you can see its effects? Precisely why the conservative argument didn't work then nor will it work now.

Obama 2012

70+ Seats for Dems in the Senate (Kill the Filabuster)

Control of the House

Looks like a new batch of Kool-aid has been mixed up.

Re-stocking the funny farm.

Ron,

If Obama wins in 2012 and the economy tanks you will still blame the Republicans even if there is proof Obama's policies caused it.

Nebraska

The state that also brought you Republican Senator Roman Hruska.

Remember him?

He was the guy who thought that we should have mediocre minds sitting on the Supreme Court as justices because: "They (meaning people with mediocre intellects) are entitled to a little representation, aren't they?"

Here's a chance to redeem yourselves Nebraskans.

Just say no to Sarah Palin.

BTW we have so much to show for the last time the Dems controlled the house right?

Ron in Seattle-2190928-2190938You cannot no matter how hard you try separate CAUSE from EFFECT. The nation and by proxy the world was brought to a FINANCIAL COLLAPSE by the previous administration's CONSERVATIVE IDEOLOGY and policies. Yet somehow Obama is expected to perform miracles WITH NO HELP AND NOTHING BUT OBSTRUCTION from conservatives.

This statement might be legitimate if it were not for the fact that Pres Obama had control of the House & Senate for two years and still he couldn't get the economy up and going, it actually got worse. Also would be legitimate if Libs blamed Clinton for the first years of Bush's administration when Unemployment rose a bit because of the dot.com crash that started the last year of Clinton's term. You do realize that we go through a some type of recession often and have done so under every President in our lifetime. But this President unlike the Democrat & Republican Presidents before him has not been able to pull us out within 18 mos, which is the average time. Most of the other Presidents didn't have their Party in control of the House & Senate for 2 years. But when you have someone with absolutely no experience as a Governor, Military, any type Leadership or even an MBA, this is what you get. The proof is in the economy, it friggin sucks and now its going on 4 years!! Blame Bush game doesn't work for most of America any longer, just those Far Left Liberals.

We don't send our representatives to Washington to do the same things, we send our representatives to Washington to represent our own individual views. If everyone agreed, why even have a Republic Gov't, might as well be a dictatorship. Thank GOD the majority of people in this country are neither far left liberals or far right conservatives, who all think theirs is the right way. Most people do not want far left & far right policies, they want to be in the middle. Why so many people are registered Independent.

President Obama, whether you like it our not will more than likely lose this election. There is no President in history that has won on this bad of economy and this high of unemployment since Roosevelt. No one and he will not be an exception to the rule. And there will also be several incumbent Republicans & Democrats that will lose their seats in Congress. No matter how you spin it, people will vote with their wallets and today those wallets are friggin empty!

Nebraska, pppllllleeeeaaaasssseeee tell me that Palin was not an influence on picking this candidate.

Apparently, "The Sarah" was influential in getting this lady her nomination for the Senate seat; "The Sarah" cites "common sense solutions to help restore America." The problem with her premise is that it is missing 2 very important elements:

1. Her solutions are not as common as she would like them to be; only about 1 out of 8, at best, give them any merit; and,
2. her solutions make no sense! Going back to the old policies that bankrupted the economy, but even more severely conservative to add to the fire, is no solution.

In other words, "The Sarah" wants to "restore" the America that is in the depths of The Great Depression II (of which, Presidents Bush and Obama thwarted). Maybe this is a solution to Sarah, but not to me. As an Independent, I don't agree with everything that Obama has done, or putting the Health Care Law above jobs in the first 2 years, but I am voting for the POTUS, just as I voted for him last time. Personally, I don't want to live under The Great Depression II, which will surely come if those "common sense solutions" are put into practice (and Romney endorses).

DNC Response: "Nothing to see here. The Tea Party died months ago. Nothing to see here. Move along."

Ron, you are so lost in Democratic/Progressive/Liberal ideology you will never see the whole truth.

The housing bubble was started in 1977 with the CRA (Community Reinvestment Act). It was built on the assumptions that the greater portion of poor people were minorities being discriminated against because of race in getting home loans. You cannot legislate a remedy unless it applies to all people.

It is very honorable to want people to have their own homes, but when the government steps in they break whatever they "fix" worse than it was before.

Since banks were actually giving loans based on credit history and income history, not much changed until 1999 when the Finance Reform gave sweeping increase of federal ability to investigage banks based solely on guilt by appearances and the ability to prosecute with all agencies, even though no allegations were made that they were guilty of infractions against those agencies. With the new powers, basically banks made loans to federal specs, which wasn't good enough for the Fed. Banks were told to "be creative" or they would be investigated and sued.

Now the banks were making loans that they new would fail. What are they supposed to do, take the losses? Some insured the loans, others did not. Those that didn't insure the loans you sit on them and take the loss or sell them. MOST were sold, and just like the car dealer sells the car to you that was driven by the little old lady from Passadena, just to church on Sunday. And when many buyers noticed the failure rates being higher, they too became a used car dealer.

Notice how almost none have been prosecuted? That's because they did what was required by the fed, and no laws were actually violated.

You buy the Democratic smokescreen that the problem was deregulation. No, far from it, it was the threat of not being able to participate in the federal reserve system and the threat of unnecesary investigations that they would spend billions to defend themselves.

The deregulation you speak of was the repeal of provision 2 of Glas-Steagall, which was keeping Finance, Banking, Insurance, and Investment from being under one roof. Go read the actual Glas-Steagall Text of part 2. There is no language of how Finance, Banking, Insurance, and Investment had to operate or report to any federal agency.

The whole premise of the bill was that those 4 entities were the cause of the 1929 crash so they were to be separated into separate businesses. The bill was rammed through congress before the investigative report for the cause of the crash was completed. Upon reading the report, Senater Glas then campaigned for the repeal of Glas-Steagall for the rest of his senate career because his own bill was crippling recovery and the bill did not address the greater of the problems.

Although some (and a very small part) was banks investing in the stock market, the far majority was investors, going to banks to get loans to purchase securities.

If Glas-Steagall provision 2 is not repealed then our system could no longer compete with the international banks which were growing larger and taking business away from American banks.

That big friend you think you have called big government, is a real beast when you don't do things it's way. Even if you do things it's way, you still lose.

Good one John!

DNC Response: "Nothing to see here. The Tea Party died months ago. Nothing to see here. Move along."

Same kind of thing they said from 2003 - 2008 while home mortgages were being made that shouldn't have been made and then sold under false pretenses on the securities market.

"DNC Response: "Nothing to see here. The Tea Party died months ago. Nothing to see here. Move along."

Your sarcasm might hold water if this was the general election- but since this was a Republican primary and everyone is saying the Tea Party extremists have taken hold of the party it really wasn't all that surprising.

See what happens in November.

And FYI, I'm an independent who voted for Reagan twice and McCain in '08.

I'll be voting for Obama and against anyone with any Tea Party affiliations in '12.

So now the extreme right wing is calling a TRUE HERO a liberal as a put-down. Kerrey was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions in VietNam - and those who are too afraid to serve their country condemn him. He actually shed his blood to defend this country.

The ultra right wing is becoming the scum of the earth and are trying to destroy the republican party. I am ashamed of their actions, and I am a lifetime republican and retired military officer. And I am more republican than all these tea bag morons (I can tie my family tree back to Lincoln - and we have all been republicans). There is a huge difference between being a true republican and being a right wing lunatic.

Umm, people aren't opposing the guy because he's a vet. He is a liberal, I don't know anyone who disputes that. They are opposing him because until about the day before the deadline to file for the primary, he lived in New York.

Bruening lost, he will still be Attorney General and live in Nebraska. Stenberg lost and he will still be state treasurer and live in Nebraska. If Fischer loses to Kerry, she will go back to her Ranch and stay in Nebraska. If Bob Kerrey loses, he will go back to New York. That is all Nebraskans really need to know about who has their best interests at heart.

Deb didn't win because of Palin's endorsement specifically. She won because she finally had cash to run ads. Bruening and Stenberg creamed each other for a year with negative ads. Fischer ran a clean campaign and traveled all over the state. The money-bomb from Palin's endorsement hit at the perfect time. Voters were sick of hearing all the negatives about Bruening and Stenberg, so they voted Fischer once she was able to get her name out through advertising.

So we have a lifelong Nebraska resident and rancher running against a former governor/senator who checked out to New York for the past 10 years after earning his street cred in office as a Democrat. They didn't have anyone else to run on the Democratic ticket, so they called up old Bob. Bob declined, and then reversed course and decided to "move back" to Nebraska to give the citizens the benefit of his new found wisdom of working in New York for the last 10 years. Spend all the money in the world for old Bob, Nebraskans will still elect a Nebraskan to serve in the Senate.

Not necessarily. He probably will endorse them all. It just depends on what day you are talking about!

It's likely that Mitt endorsed all three.......

I doubt that anyone in Nebraska cares how you make choices regarding their Senator.

The endorsements from two Nuts Palin & Santorum are like a kiss of death !!!

TR - Do you have any idea where the "Etch-a-Sketch" insult originated or are you just vomiting back left-wing slogans that some other idiot fed you? Here are the facts for those who actually care about the truth:

Romney's communications director Eric Fehrnstromon referred to the shift from a primary campaign to a presidential campaign by saying "I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It's almost like an Etch-A-Sketch" Of course, Romney's opponents immediately pretended the remark had some significance.

Contrast this with Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor and mentor for 20 years saying, “The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color.”

Intelligent people will recognize that the "etch-sketch" comment is a frivolous remark by one of Romney's campaign workers; while saying that AIDS is a means of genocide against Blacks. represents a core belief that Obama has absorbed.

"You lefties are this loony now, can only imagine in October the meds that will be prescribed..."

And Bob you and I will pay for it too!

The etch-a-sketch remark was jumped on by fellow repubs who know the man. And they are correct - no one knows his core beliefs as they keep changing. He morphs depending on who he's talking to - a fact you would do well to remember before you vote. A vote for Romney is a vote for a ghost - a shadow - an unknown.

If you insist on being an uninformed voter and depending on con men and grifters (Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity) for your information, you will be forever disappointed because most of America is smarter than that.

The GOP failed to give anyone else a chance. Now they are left with Mr Mormon Romney. The GOP is stubborn. They will back Romney to the death. The problem is, the rest of the country won't vote for Romney. Some GOP voters will simply stay home. They have every right to be disgusted. What is left? Well all the GOP Mormons will vote for Romney. There will be some Bible belters who put one hand over there eyes as they use the other hand to pull the solid GOP ticket. Then they will go home and pray they did the right thing.
Anyone who votes for Romney without being fully aware of Romney's religious practices is voting blindly. Do you really know what goes on inside a Mormon Temple? Do you know the history of their church and what they believe? Do you know what Romney does when he goes to the Mormon Temple? Do you know there is a difference between the Mormon Temple and the Mormon Church? The Mormon Church will let anyone in to see what goes on in there. The Mormon Temple will only allow certain Mormons in and those Mormons have sworn to never say what goes on inside the Mormon Temple. There are some people who have escaped Mormonism. Why not google "ex-mormon" and do a little reading. Don't vote blindly.

Kannin

Have to challenge your claim that President Obama believes that AIDS is a means of genocide against Blacks. Got anything to back it up other than Glenn Beck or your own opinion?

Leroy2112, Do you seriously want a Mormon Cult member in the White House?

http://www.exmormon.org/tract2.htm

Romney will endorse each Republican nominee, AFTER they have been nominated...

President Obama is a member of the United Church of Christ, a protestant denomination.

...while saying that AIDS is a means of genocide against Blacks. represents a core belief that Obama has absorbed.

Now that's just bullcrap! Got any evidence to back that up or is this just more Republican mud-flinging?

Here's a quote from Obama about Wright's statements:

"... words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it's on the campaign stump or in the pulpit."

Republicans might do well to remember that!

You righties are this loony now, can only imagine in October the meds that will be prescribed in November -- when President Obama is elected fro a second term and you manage to lose both the House and senate.

Voting the party line (in either direction) is worse than not voting at all ... get to know the candidates and their positions, and make an INFORMED choice. I am a left=leaning Independent, and see good and bad on BOTH sides of the aisle.

That said, I'm ecstatic NE Republicans chose Fischer ... I think she is beatable.

Regarding the AIDS-genocide remark; It was Wright that was indicated as having made the remark, not Obama. You lefties need to take reading comprehension classes.

Nebraska for TeaReTardCons "When Pigs Fly" !!!!!!!!!

Opinion - I love how liberals such as yourself, who have no Christian beliefs, like to demonize Romney because he's LDS (even though they are so adamant about "separation of church and state"). I'm not Mormon and don't subscribe to their theology, but I do believe that it won't adversely affect his ability to run this country better than Obama. And why don't you post something about Obama's Muslim upbringing and education or his tutelage under Wright? Those are a lot scarier to rational people than Mormonism.

"I love how liberals such as yourself, who have no Christian beliefs, like to demonize Romney because he's LDS "

Hey -- I'm a liberal who thinks the only thing flip-flop Mitt has going for him is the fact he is a Mormon. As for liberals who have no Christian beliefs" --- don't confuse Christianity with what clowns like Rick Santorum or Sarah Pailn talk about.

Invisible hand,

Apparently you haven't heard the recent taped interview with Reverend Wright. In it, Rev. Wright was asked if Obama had made a true conversion to Christianity. Rev. Wrights response was what I was able to do was get him more comfortable with Christianity. He also explained that the Pres was at his church out of political necessity. Wright is not the only person to come forward to say this.

I have a new found respect for Rev Wright. While I personally disagree with the liberation theology, he clearly believes in Christ and tries to follow Christs teachings, though as all of us, somewhat misguided because of our personal biases.

Amen, Colorado man. Nebuchanezer was clearly not a Christian (not around yet) or a Jewish believer (he carried them into captivity). But, it if the Bible account is accurate, those jews and Christians who truly Believed and followed God as God requested, will meet him some day in Heaven.

You don't have to believe in God to be used by him. You don't have to follow obey him to be used by him. Obeying him would be a lot smarter though.

Charlie - as a protestant, I would tell you that Santorum appears to be exemplifying one of the least understood attributes of God. That is about being a living example and hope that lures people to him because they realize that God is who we need to be following because God is our creator and has generously given us the ability to chose whether we follow or not. The warning is that your life is only for a limited time. You only have that long to discover him, turn to him, and give him your whole self.

Rick, may have been quite open about his beliefs, but he also did little to legislate those beliefs. The only two areas he ever chose to work for legislation on beliefs was over Paritial birth abortions (wrote the law that passed) and supporting a constitutional defining marriage as between a man and a woman. Everything else I could find out showed that he was a conservative who was doing his best for whom he was elected to represent.

don't confuse Christianity with what clowns like Rick Santorum or Sarah Pailn talk about.

Charlie - I f you actually read what I posted you'd have known that it was referring to Opinion's comments.

Rudy the racist. I haven't seen you around. Are you still sickened by asians? Tell me again. Why do asians sicken you?

It would be nice if that Nut Palin would stop Stalking our President, I would throw this crazy sick nut in jail !!!!!!! Stalking is a Crime !!!!!!!!!!!

My sentaments exactly.The whole boat load needs to be put out like lugar. do the job you were elecred to do-- REPRESENT THE PEOPLE.

Hey barefoot, Can Palin still see Russia from her back porch in Alaska ?

In response to "Patriotic American," Sarah Palin never said that she could see Russia "from her back porch." She said that you could see Russia from PART of Alaska, which is true. Go to Little Diomede Island and look west. The next island is part of Russia. See Don't confuse a Tiny Fey lampoon with the real thing.

Actually there was an interesting little news tidbit buried out of sight several weeks ago, indicating that Sara Palin might well be able to see Russia from her back porch and Ms Hillary Clinton and our President made a back door agreement, without public knowlege to cede part of the Aleutian Islands back to Russia....Done deal....no vote, no discussion.....just giving away the sovreign property of a State and the people of the State of Alaska didn't even know about it....And when some enterprising reporter brought the story to light, they were basically told that it was a done deal and the papers were signed and it couldn't be reversed, so why talk about it.

GOP control of the Senate is a slam dunk.

Well, I certainly don't know about that! After all, Congress is showing an approval rating of 19% and a lot of that has to do with the shameful spectacle last fall over the budget. You remember, the one where America's credit rating was downgraded and the stock market crashed briefly due to Republican obstinacy?

And now, the only thing Republicans can do is to repeat it all again just before the election:

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) presaged another developing moment of brinksmanship on taxes and spending, vowing that House Republicans would vote to extend expiring tax cuts before the election, and insist on further cuts in spending to accompany another increase in the debt limit.

Yep, Boehner, attaboy! That's the way to endear yourself to the American voter and guarantee that the GOP will not take over this Fall!

John Bonehead has been accused of an affair with a lobbyist "Lisbeth Lyons" So much for a man of family values !!!

Not wanting our economy further flushed down the toilet is exactly why we elected the people that we did in 2010, so why should we be upset that they are doing exactly what they were sent to Washington to do, which is minimize the damages.

Yeah we remember they were half as bad as a single term of Obama.

Deficit was 11 trillion under Bush when he left office, 16.4 trillion under Obama

2 unfunded wars but congress approved under Bush. 5 more wars under Obama that not only were not funded but did not even bother to get Congress appoval ( working on 2 more)

5 "wars"? Hmmm. I can think of one that conceivably qualifies ... Libya. Which cost us almost nothing, didn't involve troops, and got a dictator out of office. Another 4 "wars"? Please name them.

Libya cost us Several BILLION there Rich and we will just have to see if ousting Qaddafi who broke up a nuclear black market smuggling ring and was cooperation with us on our "war on terror" was a good move or not. If you have been paying attention to the situation there it already looks like (as usual) our government made a big mistake.

Why, because you are one of the "chosen few" to benefit and prosper from Obama's policies, his attempts to create a new class of favorites...and because you are one of them, you don't want to see anyone's life improve if it means that you would have to suffer some hardship? Well, the majority of America is in hardship right now. Lifetime's of effort and saving have been lost. And we get to look forward to a national health care system that gives retiree's the equivalent of an "L' tablet once we are no longer tax revenue producing units in the economy. When does everyone wake up and realize that this benefits absolutely nobody except those who sit in Washington. There is the true 1%, but in real terms, it is even less than one percent and they want to control absolutely everything and everyone.

"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts." - Bertrand Russell

Did I miss something or did the Obama Administration delay approval of the Keystone Pipeline project partly because of the objection of the Republican Governor and his concern over possible pollution of the vital aquifers?

If the governor represented NE voters, why would they vote for the "Drill Baby Drill" Teapublicans attacking Obama for delaying approval?

There was a large grassroots movement that went against the Keystone Pipline project, and the Gov. had to call a special session of the unicameral and combined they were forced to act due to the outrage from those in the Panhandle of the state (and some others like my wife) who were shocked by the pipeline path's potential for devastating the primary source of water in the state (and surrounding areas from what i've been told).

regardless of that result, my experience tells me that those same voters will still check the (R) box with impunity because the closest thing to satan in their minds is a liberal (especially out in the western third of the state. i can't remember the last time i saw more than a 30% vote total for a (D) in that district)... This may change in the Omaha/Lincoln corridor, but for the most part Husker red colors everything, and they can't be seen voting blue...

i hope i'm wrong because i abhor the wild west mentality that modern day conservatives want to take us back to (stand your ground, robber baron capitalism with no safety net, anti-equality, rampant greed dominating the direction of this country), but my cynical nature prevents me from thinking this will happen.

The governor agreed to an alternative route for the pipeline, but Obama chose to ignore it, just like he ignores everything else he doesn't agree with. Remember the deficit commission he appointed? They came up with some tough recommedations to solve the problem. Have you heard anything from Obama since?

As for Ben Nelson, voting for ObamaCare destroyed his career as it did Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas. Mary Landrieu will be next.

Landrieu is up for re-election in 2014, and yes, she will be voted out - at least by those who actually work for a living.

So Nelson has been in office until his retirement after this term and Nebraskans blindly pull the lever for the GOP candidates? Then how did Nelson get elected governor and Senator? Bob Kerrey is a former governor and senator as well I believe. Was that a result of Nebraskans blindly pulling the lever for the GOP candidate as well?

There is a reason that the Nebraska DNC had to go all the way to New York to bring back a relic in Nebraska politics to run in a state that he hasn't lived in for 10 years...they don't have anyone else.

Nebraskans will vote for a Nebraskan over a New York resident. They aren't going to be blindly pulling the lever or marking the box for the GOP candidate. I would argue that those who vote for the New York Resident will be doing so out of idealogical purity for their party.

The chief causes of gridlock, according to people who know stuff, are NO! and filibuster.

AffinityGW, And who are those people, the liberals in Washington and those liberals posting all the BS on MSNBC. Wasn't it Obama who said he was going to be the President of all the people, and he would bring the US together? Obama has been the most divisive President in history. His, and the liberals, plans are tax and spend, tax and spend, and more tax and spend.

these guys don't tax so much they just spend,spend, spend.

Hot daddy, the chief cause of gridlock in D.C. is Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who announced the day after Obama's election that the sole objective of the GOP for the next four years would be to make certain Pres. Obama didn't get re-elected. That's all the GOP has done for the past 3/12 years and that's why very little has gotten done; GOP obstructionism. And you want these idiots "running" the country? Good luck with that.

Kerrey is independent as hell! He will win and he will be a breath of fresh air, working with Republicans to find common ground. He will be a United States Senator!

Hot Daddy, you called a teaReTard loser Worthy ???????????????????????????????????

The PEOPLE are going to clean house in Nov. Nebraska is a state of decent people and they will deliver a worthy Senator to Washington.

And, those same people really, really like feeding at the federal trough, looks like. More federal dollars received from Washington than federal taxes paid in by Nabraska to the federal government.

Not to mention all those lovely farm subsidies which are in the BILLIONS to Nabraska!

Maybe a clean house should begin closer to home.

And, those same people really, really like feeding at the federal trough, looks like. More federal dollars received from Washington than federal taxes paid in by Nabraska to the federal government.

Nice misleading comment. Omaha, NE is home to Offet Airforce Base, which receives a majority of the Federal money. I guess you could lobby to have that base moved to another state, but Blue states tend to frown upon supporting our military or housing military bases.

Not to mention all those lovely farm subsidies which are in the BILLIONS to Nabraska!

7 billion over 16 years. While it certainly is billions, your statement implies that it is billions year after year. In actuality it is around 500 million a year. Also, only 2 billion of that was direct payments to farmers. Hardly what you have made it out to be.

Most would be in favor of getting rid of the subsidies, as long as the rest of the country is prepared to pay true market prices on corn and grain.

In 08, McCain was against the farm bill and Obama voted for it. Not really going anywhere with that comment, just putting it out there for you to make of it what you will.

So by all means, get rid of the subsidies. A majority of the payments go to the largest farming operations anyways, crowding out the little guys.

The word is "already," but interest on the debt is indeed a scary topic. If interest rates move up to more normal levels, interest on the national debt will become unmanageable.

jon -

Actually it over half of the entire defense budget - and growing.

The entire DoD gets about $700 billion - and that includes not only the military, but the FBI, CIA, DHS (FEMA and TSA fall under this), Customs, etc.

over half the population voted that way last election.

Obama is the absolutely wrong direction for our country.

Foreign policy 7 total wars with 2 on the burners.

domestic 8% to 9% unemployment based on his fuzzy math realistically 10+% with million totally underemployed

41% increase in welfare

highest level ever on food stamps.

16.4 trillion in debt growing at a rate of 1.4 trillion a year 50% increase in the total debt.

spent more in a single term than the last 2 presidents did in 16 years.

Paid billion to Union mob boss

paid biliion to foreign oil companies (George Soras Brazil and Mexicans) while blocking domestic oil drilling and pipe line

Used stimulus money to buy guns to give them to known extremely violent mexican drug cartels with absolutely no survaliance alloud. ( presently being investigated as suspected attack on 2nd amendment )

fast and furious (Obama / Holder failed to investigate and are stonewalling congress investigation)

Accomplis in the murder of 200 Mexican and a boarder agent.

lost state of the art air craft to Iran.

OBamanation care that absolutely none want to admit they voted for ( or least nobody is running on their vote)

Transparency ( not)

Racist statement to create race war for votes (trayvon my son)

Gay push for votes

Illegal Immigrant votes wanted but not the military, where the New York Democrats twice refused to send absentee votes to the military serving outside the US (Obama and Holder failed to investigate)

OhhhPinnnYunnn-Be nice if you could stick to just 1 posting of the above. The more you cut and paste, the sillier you seem to be.

I could care less what they do in their temples or churches. I am supporting him because I have read his plans and he actually has a plan that is doable.

Please keep your bigotry to yourself. We don't hold public elections in America to determine the True Religion. If having a Mormon chief executive were as horrendous a proposition as you suggest, the state of Michigan would have been destroyed under Gov. George Romney, Massachusetts would have been hammered under Gov. Mitt Romney, Black & Decker would have collapsed under the leadership of Nolan Archibald, JetBlue would have foundered under David Neeleman, the Marriott Corporation would have never grown beyond a motel and a few Hot Shoppes, etc. etc.

The United States Senate would have been destroyed under the leadership of Harry Reid...oh wait, that one may actually be believable.

I don't understand. Is paying $10,000,000,000 a week in interest a bad thing?

Close loopholes, eliminate research grants and gov studies. Streamline the tax code. Don't reward people for more welfare babies. Pay $1,000 for one kid. pay $800 a month for 2 kids. Pay $600 a month for 3 kids.If you want more kids get married to a man with a job.

Killed Bin Laden and a far greater number of REAL terrorists at less relative cost in young American lives. Closing shop in Afghanistan a war Bush bungled.

He also targeted Moarmars houses in Libya. That is a war crime. Civilian targets and attempted assassination of a world leader.

Roger, he didn't kill Bin Laden-he gave the order. Please don't confuse him with the brave members of the Seals.

Capital One is sending Barack a new card. Spend spend and spend till it hurts.

vote Tea Party

A group wanting to really fix the government.

Abortions kill 500,000 females a year in America.

War on women is BS. How about a war on infants or a war on human life?

No one has ever responded, ever risen to my challenge to explain a real flip flop of liberal thinking. Abortion is justified by the notion that a fetus is not a person, and therefore it is not killing. This is in the face of physical data and observation possible by ultra sound which would indicate, what liberals term as a commodity, is in actuality a living being......and even if they don't want to consider the living being to be human, liberals are the first to rush forward in protection of endangered species like owls and frogs and toads etc, they are the first to join PETA in defense of cats, dogs, chickens, cows.....(there is a dichotomy all by itself). Now, our law considers it two counts of murder if somebody assaults and kills a pregnant woman. It is two counts of vehicular manslaughter if they hit the pregnant women with a car and she, and the unborn child, die as a result of the crash. Illegal immigrants use unborn children all the time as a wedge into our country, coming across the border to give birth to "American Citizens" which in turn allows them to stay illegally as caretakers. And the liberals will scream to the rafters how inhumane it is to suggest that we don't have to provide medical care to these pregnant women and their children. How can liberals see the worth of an illegal immigrant's child as more important for government protection and humanitarian care than the child of an American citizen? How can liberals protect the mother and the child in once instance, but be willing to allow the same child to executed by its own mother.......This is not a religion based argument, it is the schizophrenic way that we define life in our society. There is no single definition, and the determining factor seems to rest solely in the notion of a child being wanted or not wanted....And, had Roe vs Wade been handed down in an earlier court case......how many of the liberals posting to these threads would even be here to post? What if their parents didn't really want them or the responsibility of a child. What if there mother did not want to be embarrassed by her behavior and live with a constant reminder of an error in judgement.

YEAH!

The TEA Party, Conservative Tsunami IS ALIVE & WELL, washing Libs & RINOS away in November!

MSNBC must really be struggling to keep the OZ curtain closed. Overloading the system to cause it to fail CAN ONLY BE THE REAL REASON for the support of this "buha" clown they helped put into office. God must have also wanted to get people to finally take sides.....MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Not as many "luke warm" people around as before....
