The amount Sheldon Adelson alone has given to the GOP this election cycle

http://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/donor_detail.php?cycle=2012&id=U0000000310&type=I&super=N

And he has pledged another $63,000,000.00 to the GOP. Anyone want to guess who he is buying. One hundred million dollars. Please dont tell me he isnt buying.

It's an investment, not a gift.

Don't any of you Republicans wonder what Sheldon's gonna expect his "return" to be after the election?

We do know what Obama's was after 2008. An $800 billion dollar stimulus for Green energy companies and Unions.

Hypocrisy is thinking the Democrats aren't going to owe paybacks for all the millions donated to them.

RealAmericansFirst and guy

And just HOW MUCH MONEY wen't the the UAW from the GM plants and How many non-union companies failed because they did not receive and of the Bail Out... And the Secured Creditor where left without NOTHING...

P.S. How much is America going to lose in GM Stocks? And buy the way, hows that volt running...

and guy:

we are on our way'

Right, $6 trillion of new national debt in less than four years and record unemployment numbers for 43 months. We are "on our way" somewhere, and it isn't good. We are going to be another Greece, only on steroids.

You guys understand what the greatest economic collapse since the great depression means right? By all the whining about deficits, and the implicit support you are providing to the party that created it, apparently not.

FORWARD! Obama/Biden 2012!!!!

The economy is in the toilet. Obama's policies keep us there.

I wounder if these rich guys that are giving 100 million to the Reps are going to ask the government to pay them back after Obama wins. They are going to say, But we were told Romney would win and he didn't. We want our money back. Just like they did when walstreet fell. The rich got there money covered and returned. Working people were left on there own. But as always the rich were made whole. People the only way we brake this selling out of American is to vote against big money. Don't let people like the Koch Brothers buy your vote so they can get richer. Look at what they did in WI. They own Scoot Walker lock, stock and Barrel. And Walker does just what the Koch's tell him to do. They are getting there investment back 100 times over. We need to hand the rich people that spend all these money, we need to hand them there a$$es by re electing the president. I say let these people that think they own this country but refuse to pay there taxes should go live where their money is. They are not Real Americans.

@Maw. Careful or they will want free toilet paper also. The party of "Gimme".

David...The Dems are not getting 100 million dollars from anyone. $100,000,000.00 in one year. Makes you wonder what/who he is buying.

http://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/summ.php?cycle=2012&disp=O&type=S&chrt=P

Real American numbers can be used any way if you just pick the ones you like :P

Real American is a real FRAUD.

You Libtards always seem to miss the big picture. You tout Blowbama's "small ball" and cave when it comes to the REAL issues. The national debt just turned over to 16 TRILLION dollars this week. How much of that was Jokebama's and his FAILED policies at throwing good money after bad? 6 Trillion dollars. The unemployment numbers are actually up around 18% with the G-6 adjusted figures. The so-called 'shovel-ready' jobs that the Vacationer-in-Chief seemed to think would save the economy were all phantasms, by your messiah's OWN ADMISSION. Your Pretender-in-Chief 'passed' Jokebamacare in the middle of the night, WITHOUT the approval of Congress, all the time telling America that we could find out what was in it AFTER it passed. And what did we find out? It is the LARGEST tax increase in history and steals $725 BILLION form poor Medicare to pay for your 'routine healthcare'. We have the LARGEST number of people strapped to your socialist-loving leader's Welfare state -the largest number EVER of people on Food stamps, he panders to whatever special-interest group that he thinks he can buy their votes, he flip-flops on issues when he sees fit only to fulfill his left-wing radical agenda, he invokes Executive Priveledge on a whim, to save either a sc*mbag crooked attorney general who blatantly LIED about Fast and Furious, or to cover up life-threatening leaks as they pertain to our military, he has spent MILLIONS of dollars having ALL of his records sealed, he has direct ties to Communists, Muslims and their extremist organizations, he has allowed 3,000,000 ILLEGALS into the country (in an election year, no less) and has given them free jobs (if there are actually any left) free education, free healthcare, and all just to get their vote, he hasn't met with his jobs council since MARCH, he has allowed the smearing and lies and prevarication and unfounded character assassination of Gov. Romney, and allowed his minions to run free with baseless accusations of wrongdoing, all the while denying any knowledge of said events. He has NO record, NO ideas, NO solutions and he runs on the 3-D platform...DECEIVE, DENY and DEFLECT. He has apologized for America at every turn and has bowed down to world leaders in this day and age of nuclear threats with no remorse whatsoever.....My god. How can you POSSIBLY defend this man and his dismal record? His FAILED economic and foreign policies? Beacuse he has his own beer recipe? Because he can 'speechify' ? Talk is cheap, and no one can afford his beer. You ceremoniously cling to the Blowbama bandwagon even as your savior drives it right off the cliff. It is a 'Lemming' mentality and it is truly out of touch. We have HOPE come Novemeber, and it is time for a CHANGE.
One and DONE.....!

The difference between Republicans and Democrats.

Republicans: I've got mine, you get yours.

Democrats: I've got mine by hard work along with a lot of help from others. If you are willing to work hard, we will help you get yours just like others helped us.

Huh..... why was none of this a problem with SOROS?

Soros never gave 100 million dollars to anyone in politics in 1 year.

I think we would do better to focus on policy rather than name-calling. Here's one little bit that is very important for my household: Romney wants to 'close tax loopholes' - not on the tax avoidance schemes concocted by the Swiss bank account holders, but on the middle class. He calls the home mortgage deduction a 'loophole', and wants to end it.

That will raise taxes on my family by about $10,000 a year! How much will it raise yours?

.Obama the promise BREAKER!! Equals a LIAR!!! BIG EMBARRASSMENT to the USA!!!

Obama’s promise that his healthcare proposals would “never be purchased with [a] tax increase on middle-class families.” The SUPREME COURT & JUSTICE DEPT say it is a TAX!!! .Attack on the middle Class! Taxation by misrepresentation---the LARGEST TAX in World History!!! Does he remove the tax part????....NO!!!

…….…NOW Obama wants to invade Syria and Iran!!!

..mr. American businessman..YOU DID NOT MAKE THAT!! It was stolen from the back of the worker---PURE MARXISM!!...this is PURE

…ANTI-American…tell it to Ford or Steve Jobs or the Mom& POP store on the corner>>>How is it that NON taxpayers built an Infrastructure??

Remember these?
THE OBAMA CHRONICLES:
“I promise 100% transparency in my administration.”.
“I promise NO NEW TAXES on a family making less than $250K a year.”.
“I will allow 5 days of public comment before I sign any bills.”.
“I will remove earmarks from PORK projects before I sign any bill.”.
“I will end Income Tax for seniors making less than $50K a year.”.
"I will bring ALL of our troops home within ONE year."
“I’ll put the Health Care negotiations on CSPAN so everyone can see who is at the table!”.
“I’ll have no lobbyists in my administration."
"I'll close Guantanamo."
"I'll resign if I don't cut the deficit in half by the end of four years."
"I'll unite the people of this great country."

“The TROOPS will be home for CHRISTMAS.” WHY ARE MORE LEAVING EVERYDAY???? AND DYING every day…

NOW Obama invokes Executive Privilege( as a Sen. called it’s use a RUSE!) for Holder on GUN SMUGGLING and killing US Agent Brain Terry!!! That only applies if Obama was part of it!! Obama & Holder should be on trial for giving Machine Guns to the Mexican Drug cartels!!
BETTER KNOWN AS LIES.
Fool me once shame on YOU!
Fool me twice shame on ME!

Even Joe BIDEN has endorsed ROMNEY for Prez!!!!

BozoHussan=Chicago MOB politics=NBC=GE= no taxes from the bought and paid for cronies ==twist every crises toward Pravda PressPROPAGANDA!!

glad he didn't talk about shackles, 3 letter words J_O_B_S, or the depression we are in as he told some supporters in dubuque ia

This was the CNN Money headline in Bush's last month of office:

Job loss: Worst in 34 years

Employers slashed 598,000 more jobs in January as unemployment rate climbed to 7.6%.

Here was last month's number from the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 163,000 in July.

Tomorrow's numbers look like they'll be even better.

There's your choice.

The only way the GOP can win is LIE!

Mr. A....And the only plan Romney has to create jobs is more tax cuts for the rich. Obama wants tax cuts for small business. If tax cuts for the rich worked we would be drowning in jobs.

Obama got us out of Iraq, a war that only strengthened Iran by taking a secular Iraq and turned it into a Shia ally of Iran.

OH PLEASE get a grip the only jobs he creates are in other countries. IF he was a patriot he wouldn't be hiding money in off shore tax shelters. That should be a requirment to be president

No candidate for President in the last 30 years has released less than 5 years of tax returns.

I see no reason to start now.

Can you imagine the Republicans saying to Obama, "Never mind, Mr. President, we don't need to see your tax returns." ????

H Y P O C R I T E S

Show us the money, Romney!

Why are you living in the Past Americans First?

I really cant blame you for using the good old Blame bush argument. Its not like Obama can run on his record.

Bush isn't running for office Obama is. Obama has had 3.8 years and spent trillions of dollars to try and fix our economy and has failed.

Do you really think the 23 million unemployed Americans are more concerned with who to blame or concerned with electing someone who can really fix the economy and get the private sector to start creating jobs again?

The Unemployment rate when Obama took office was 7.9%, its currently at 8.3% and has been above 8% for a record setting 43 months.

This is Obama's economy. He owns it. He wanted the job and he got it.

Obama had his chance now its time to give someone a chance who's depth of experience is magnitudes deeper than community organizing.

Where are Romney's tax returns, David?

Oh, and why aren't you asking for his birth certificate, either? His dad was a Mexican citizen. Was Romney really born in America? How do you know?

I heard he's paid by the Muslim Brotherhood as well. Better bring some proof that he's not!

Yeah give it back to the same morons with the same plan to take us back to the same crap we were in 4 years ago. Let me put it in terms you might understand. You have a football team winning some games but not all. You want to get rid of the coach so you go looking around for another one. You pick a coach that wants to use the same playbook that a former coach used but never won a game as a matter of fact your team had the worse record in the history of the team and the lowest morale. The team at least now although not winning every game is starting to ban together and could go to the Superbowl but noooo let's put in the coach that will definitely crush the team. I am throwing the ball to the existing coach and hope the team wins the cup. Wise up and put your balls on the winning side.

Wheres Debbie Wasserman Shultz Tax returns? You know her shes the Chairperson of the Democrat National Committee.

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/dnc-chief-urges-romney-release-tax-returns-wont-release-her-own_648292.html

But the irony of today's event is rich: Debbie Wasserman Schultz has refused--and continues to refuse--to release her own tax returns.

I'm sure you will bring up offshore accounts etc.

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/dem-chair-invested-swiss-banks-foreign-drug-companies-and-state-bank-india_648350.html

Disclosure forms reveal that Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a member of Congress from Florida, previously held funds with investments in Swiss banks, foreign drug companies, and the state bank of India. This revelation comes mere days after the Democratic chair attacked presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney for holding money in Swiss bank accounts in the past.

http://news.yahoo.com/thousands-federal-workers-owe-back-taxes-231332510.html

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has preached that all Americans should pay their fair share in taxes, but a government report finds that tens of thousands of federal employees — from staffers in Congress to federal agencies and even Obama's executive office — collectively owe the government billions in back taxes.

Data from the Internal Revenue Service found that more than 279,000 federal employees and retirees owed $3.4 billion in back income taxes as of Sept. 30, 2010.

The data showed that 467 employees of the House of Representatives, or about 4.2 percent of the workforce, owed more than $8.5 million. In the Senate, 217 employees, or about 3 percent of the workforce, owed $2.13 million.

Obama's staff was not immune, either, with 36 people in Obama's executive office of nearly 1,800 workers — about 2 percent — owing the government $833,970 in back taxes.

Ex-US officials investigated over speeches to Iranian dissident group on terror list

Speaking firms representing ex-FBI Director Louis Freeh and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Hugh Shelton have received federal subpoenas as part of an expanding investigation into the source of payments to former top government officials who have publicly advocated removing an Iranian dissident group from the State Department list of terrorist groups, three sources familiar with the investigation told NBC News.

...

Freeh and Shelton are among 40 former senior U.S. government officials who have participated in a public lobbying campaign – including appearing at overseas conferences and speaking at public rallies – aimed at persuading the U.S. government to remove the MEK from the terror list.

First-class flights
Many of the speakers have received fees of about $30,000 or more per talk and first-class flights to European capitals, according to two sources familiar with the arrangements.

Edward Rendell, a former Pennsylvania governor and ex-Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, whose speaking firm also received a subpoena, has received $160,000 over the past year for appearing at about seven conferences and rallies, including some in Paris, Brussels and Geneva, according to his office. (Rendell is a contributor to MSNBC TV.)

David...

I still didn't hear an answer to REALAmericansFirst's question. Where are Romney's tax returns again? Didn't he mention something about releasing those before the election? Less than 2 months left.... I figure he will, for the sake of transparency, release them the day before the election.

Where are obama's college records? Was he a foreign student?

obama and his friends lie, lie, lie and give away loads of money and services for your votes. Is anyone better off after 3 1/2 years of obama?

Romney needs to go public with his tax returns. Whats he hiding.

Shultz is not running for the highest political office in the land on a platform of lowering her own taxes.

Where are Romney's tax returns again?

Filed with the IRS. If he didn't pay his taxes for a decade that's the IRS problem not yours. We haven't Heard of the IRS ever Having any Problems with Romney so why should you think there are? Don't you trust the IRS and the Federal Government to be able to do their job?

Because Harry Reid says Romney is a tax cheat that makes it so? Harry Reid is only doing it out of the goodness of his heart because he doesn't have an agenda, Like holding on to his position of Senate Majority leader?

You didn't seem to have a Problem with Timothy tax cheat Geinther, or Charles Rangel being found guilty of 11 ethics violations and being censored by Congress for not reporting his Dominican republic profits for 11 years when you re-elected him.

We realize you need some distraction to divert attention from Obama's failures.

Luckily those that aren't Blinded by their Political Ideology will see it for what it is, a manufactured Distraction by the Democrats.

MAW we are all better off then when Little Bush drove the bus over the cliff. We really don't know just how bad things really were. Maybe we don't really want to know. But as always. The Rep's screw everything up and the Dem's always have to pick up the peaces and fix the mess. Bill Clinton had to do it after Reagan/ Bush and President Obama had to do After Bush/ Cheney. Now the Reps think want us to give them the keys back knowing they are still drunk so they can finish us all the way off. The Reps tried to take us back to slavery when Reagan was elected. Bust those unions, send those jobs where they still have slave labor. So these self appoint Real american, invest the money in other country's even Communist China. And many other Communist country's as long as they have cheap labor. Real american's and then hide there money so they don't have to pay taxes. Real American's my ass.

I am an American citizen and he is asking for my vote. It's my problem if I ask the question and he asks for my vote. Fortunately, I'm only one of millions asking the same question. If he doesn't want to answer the question, maybe he can go run for president in another country where transparency isn't a concern to free citizens wishing to make educated choices, or go to another country where him and his rich cronies can just buy the election. When are you going to answer the question David? Don't tell me that you can't find that information either....

Was he a foreign student?

No he wasn't you moron. Read something REAL

I would like Republicans to explain to me how that "Trickel Down Economics" are working today? It's been what, 8 years now. If anyone needs to explain this JOBS NUMBER... I think it should be your GOP Political leaders. The GOP are the ones who have given us broken promises...

For the middle class trickle down is really TINKLE ON!!!

People, this is very simple. Simple enough that I'm not surprised many of you are incapable of getting it.

I am a Republican and recently became one. I speak for myself and myself alone. Like many others, I have been accused of wanting a complete turnaround or a complete healing. I didn't expect that but what I did expect was progress toward such turnaround and healing.

The Obama supporters are no different than the Bush supporters and vice versa for the detractors. We put a new face from the opposing party yet little has changed. People are still out of work and struggling, we still have troops abroad, we still have Guantanamo Bay open.

Want to raise more tax revenue? Put more people to work. Simply raising taxes on higher income people is putting a band-aid on a shotgun wound and may very well cause those people to divest their funds.

The President talks of moving forward yet we continue to look backward. We had promises of deficit cutting and lower unemployment, both unfulfilled. The Republicans are blamed for so much that I see the Democrats as impotent, unable to lead even though the President and Senate Majority Leaders are both Democrats.

We had a health care plan passed with Nancy Pelosi saying "gotta pass it in order to find out what's in it." What will happen to the people whose employers drop health coverage? Those people will have to either buy their own or go on a government issued plan.

When President Obama took over, I was hopeful but that hope has eroded over time. In 2008, I had a new A.S. in Computer Information Technology degree. Three years later, I earned my Bachelor of Information Technology degree and have no job.

Broken promises have come from both parties and more people need to see that.

google: SCYTL It is a spanish vote tallying company and vote backer. ...And they will be tallying OUR votes. Hmmmm.

Actually, Joe Biden gave a very good speech ... and I wouldn't put a lot of money on M.T. Suit with his math and fact challenged young ward wining that election this fall. You see, some people don't watch Faux Noise - except for humor - and actually have their own opinions on things.

At least we are not LOSING 800,000 jobs a month like we were losing 4 years ago when the Grand Old Party was in the WH

right after the election employers saw who this progressive liberal was and his what his agenda was going to be. If we don't pass this stimulus unemployment will go above 8%. Tommorrow will be 45 months in a row. Failed policies.

And the Democrats controlled the House and Senate. Don't forget to give them their 2/3rds worth of responsibility since its Congress that writes all appropriations bills and laws.

The Democrats had exactly 24 days in Congress where they could pass bills without any Republican votes.

And since the Republicans have all pledged themselves as Grover Norquist's block votes, they decided that obstruction was more important than their country.

TRAITORS.

REAL AMERICAN FIRST: You are a dumb ass and a liar! THE FIRST TWO YEARS Obama HAD A LOCK on BOTH HOUSES and only could shove tax ladened healthcare bill down our throats. HE could have used that time to pass budgets and CREATE JOBS.... REAL American, your are quite the looser...

WOW With a moniker like Mr A I wouldnt have thought you were a bigot. The GOP planned on 4 years of doing nothing. They took a pledge to work for Norquist instead of the American people.

Where do you get your facts American?

The Democrats had a Majority in the House and the Senate in 2009 and had 60 votes in the Senate, a filibuster proof majority.

Don't you remember?

That's why the Dems had to get the PPACA bill passed, and did it on Christmas Eve of 2009, because Scott Brown had just won Ted Kennedies, Senate seat, was going to take his seat in January 2010, and the Democrats had lost their 60th vote.

I realize there are many new people in here but hopefully a few will realize the difference between unsubstantiated opinion and facts. I'm sure you are proud of the little clicks that you get for votes but that doesn't mean a damn thing.

Whats matters is if you are actually making people think.

I asked you a couple of days ago if you had reevaluated the wisdom of calling other people stupid. I see you haven't.

David...

Speaking of facts....where are Romney's tax returns again? We're still waiting for you to answer that question. Please do elaborate...

@sleuth23: M.T. Suit's tax returns are probably under lock and key with his actual policy statements in a gold encrusted safety box in the Cayman Islands ... that is until this winter when they'll migrate to Switzerland for the ski season.

Sleuth...Romney does not want people to know he got an earned income tax credit check in 2009. And cashed it. The greed made him do it. He gives more money to his Church than he pays in taxes. Much more.

Eric...Why is it that when people have no answers they resort to name calling.

I answered that above sleuth #3.15.

David...

I believe that is what Republicans usually refer to as a deflection, not an answer. An answer would be a link, a .pdf, or any other document in any form that is actually a TAX RETURN filed by the Romney's with the IRS. Since you seem to have a hard time understanding what I mean, here is a link that should help clear you up:

David Noah

The Democrats had a Majority in the House and the Senate in 2009 and had 60 votes in the Senate, a filibuster proof majority.

Don't you remember?

BullCrap... They had only 24 days of filibuster proof and they were spread out over 6 months... You are an idiot that just went on Ignore...buffoon!

Hope he takes the ugly heifer with him.

Send them home NOW. Dictator Obummer & his Jerk Biden have to go. Haven't we had enough lies from the dummies?

One of the things I enjoy about the GOP is the razor sharp wit of it's current crop of supporters - that would be sarcasm for the uniformed (e.g. GOP supporters). One thing you didn't see in Tampa last week, even though it supposedly would have been convenient because of travel costs, was a job fair for rocket scientists. But since most of you are charter members of the Flat Earth Society, perhaps that's not a good career choice anyway.

Well one way to break the rich people is to watch them give all the money to Romney and watch him lose. I wish all of you Reps would start holding your breath right now for Romney to win. We will have many more blue states that way. People amaze me when they vote against there own interest. Some people"Reps" will do anything some rich guy tells them to do. No questions asked. You know the KKK was like that. Get a bunch of redneck Retards end breeders that can't spell there own names, to do all the dirty work for them so they didn't get there hands dirty. And there has always been plenty of that kind in the south. I can see there still is.

Awwww you guys are so cute...all salty and sour about not being on the winning team this year. Who knows, maybe one day people will be delusional enough to vote for another Republican back into office, but I'm gonna go with Vegas odds this time around. Sorry about your luck whiners....maybe next time

4 more for 44!!!

with some of the names in here, how many of you are not even American, Like Mr. A. With the broken English I have to assume you are not even in the USA. And as such, you have no say in who we elect for our President. And I think I want to see Romney's birth Certificate. Hid dad was a Mexican citizen. Maybe like McCain, Romney was born in Mexico and can't even run for President in the USA. He wont show his tax returns, I bet he wont show his birth Certificate ether.

Chuck, please pull your head from your backside. Fifty-one percent of the contributions to Obama's Super PAC have been $1 Million or more, compared to a third for Romney.

@guy: you got that right --- they can't even pull failure off.

Hilarious isn't it! Maybe they should just set contrarian goals for themselves, so when they fail, they actually succeed at what they wanted in the first place like: we are not going to start anymore wars, we are going to help a democrat stay in office and succeed, we are not going to write religion into policy, etc.

I'm just glad that they are as good at running campaigns as they are at compromising.

guy,

I'll type slowly so you might understand, but I doubt it.

EVERY time a new President is elected, the opposition party has the goal to make him serve just one term. Democrats sought that with Bush and failed. Republicans sought that with Clinton and failed. Democrats sought that with Reagan and failed. Democrats sought that with Bush, Sr., and were successful, as were Republicans with Carter.

Engage your brain and learn.

I wasn't impressed with Biden's speech, but you may have noticed the GOP didn't want Bush, The Destroyer, anywhere near their convention. Can't blame them.

Yea Bush did have a pretty impressive track record, and Cheney was such a friendly ambassador for the Republican party...can't imagine why he didn't get the invite either.

Carol....Gabby Giffords is a democrat and a testament to what hard work, hope, and fighting through nearly insurmountable odds is all about. She is the embodiment of what the Democratic Convention was all about, and what the Democratic party stands for. You're right though, she is a brave woman; incidentally one that supports the party that actually supports brave women. I'm sorry your hate has blinded you from seeing the moment for what it really was: inspirational!

Carol. You must never watch anything but Fox noise. Gabby set a goal to be there tonight and she made it. That is a testament to Gabby, No one else.

JC I hope you hold your breath waiting for Romney to win. There will be one less A whole in this world when your gone.

Now it is clear. Mr A is Hitler reincarnated. I knew he wasn't an american. Like all Reps, he is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Laying in wait for the voters to make that same mistake they made in WI. We all have seen what that was all about. Think again Mr A whole. People like you will never rule again. NEVER.

"but you may have noticed the GOP didn't want Bush, The Destroyer, anywhere near their convention."

Bill Maher said it best..

"If your party can run a nation for eight years, and have a national convention and not invite Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Collin Powell, Karl Rove or Tom Delay, you're not a political movement. You're the witness protection program".

That's where we are headed if corporations or millionares get more tax cuts. Tax cuts for the rich NEVER stimulate the economy

Tiffany1

You still believing that stuff?

Decibella

Why did obama extend them? Why is it that when he first came into office, he could have passed JUST ABOUT ANY BILL HE WANTED to include CLOSING ANY/ALL 'Loop-Holes'.

But he didn't, Why? Now he is standing up there and Comdending the companies and people who are USING these LAWS (Mind you these are the SAME LAWS HE COULD HAVE CHANGED BUT DIDN"T).

Why is it that NOW THEY ARE EVIL and are Sucking the very Life out of our counrty.

I'll tell you why, If he cvan get you all fired up about what HE SAYS is an injustice and tells you enough time, Even tho you know it is wrong in your own mind, you Begin to believe him

Now that you are all fired up about the "RICH", HE Knows that he has kept you business enough building anger over that, that you will FORGET to Question HIS WORK (Or more Correctly, LACK OF WORK)

He Talks about how Evil the rich are yet he did not give it a second thot to give GE (A company that used these loop holes), who made over 94 BILLION DOLLARS got a REFUND from the Gov't. (Also GE Cut over 25,000 jobs in the USA and opened 32,000 in china, also, GE also is in the process of opening 2 new plants in China to the tune of over 2 BILLION DOLLARS... Side note... GE donated over $499,000 to his election)

Where is your OUT RAGE at that?

What about the Solar Comapny that he approved a loan of OVER 500 MILLION Dollars and then 8 months later APPROVED an other loan for over 140 MILLION DOLLARS and right after that they went Backrupted. (But they did throw him a FUND RAISING DINNER at $45,000.00 a Plate)

Where is your OUT RAGE at that?

Obamas BailOut for GM... (He broke the law and Paid off the UNIONS FIRST and companies that had a SECURED CREDIT were given Nothing). He Braged about a MILLION Jobs saved... Well according the FACTS about 150,000 jobs were save. And these do not include the companies Down Stream from GM went Bankrupt...

Now.. General Motors Co. announced the temporary suspension of Chevrolet Volt production and the layoffs of 1300 employees, as the company is cutting Volt manufacturing to meet lower-than-expected demand for the electric cars.

Where is your OUT RAGE about that?

See What I was saying, While you are so occupied by the 'RICH', all this other stuff is going on that HE DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE....

Stop and think... Is your Anger towards the rich really Justified, or is it something HE TOLD YOU YOU SHOULD HAVE?

Turn your ANGER where it belongs... BACK at Him.

Oh My God. Your name fits you to a Tea. You sound like Germany in the 30ties. America you side with people of this thinking and we will always be at war and once again struggling to make ends meet. Nothing is ours by divine right, you have to earn it not take it. Who the hell do you think you are. A fascist/bigot and obviously a very, very stupid man that is what you are. With your kind running this country it will truly go under. You are not a true American or a good Christian. And believe me God is not with you. God wants nothing to do with your kind. Even the Republicans don't want anything with someone like you.

Concerned...

At this point I'm fairly certain Mr. A is just a joker having fun intermingling Republican talking points with Republican stereotypes. I refuse to believe that even a die-hard republican is dumb enough to sincerely believe what he said above. However, anything is possible since they have really worked hard to pander only to extremists in this election.

Mr. A you sound like David Koch or Hitler. Or you sound like Hitler or David Koch. One in the same.

Tax the rich to much and watch them leave. Who will be left to pay the $16 trillion debt?

Chuck, do you know David Koch? Radical liberal talking points always goes after the Koch bros. Apparently you do not know or even care all the good they do for the country. I am happy they provide hundreds of jobs in my county that pay in excess of $30 hr. and excellent benefits.

Thank you, Beth. You are entirely appropriate in your call for civility. That's the way political discourse used to be. Candidates provided zingers when referring to their opponents, but there was never such a visceral polarization as we see now.

Obama and Biden baby! Great speeches wrapping up a wonderfully inclusive convention that really focused on inspiring people. I'm glad to see that they had such a large and diverse turnout at a pivotal moment in American politics.

4 more for 44!!!

We are better off, because we no longer are losing 7000 jobs per month, instead creating new jobs.

We are better off because the economy is growing rather than contracting at 6%.

We are better off because the DOW is up over 5,000 points in the last 4 years.

We are better off, because Osama is dead and GM is alive.

We are better off, because we no longer are fighting war in Iraq and spending billions of dollars of US tax payers’ money there.

We are better off because we now have a well defined policy in Afghanistan, and we have dismantled the Al-Quada.

We are better off, because we have a president who is working to build the middle class everyday.

Yes, but more work needs to be done but we are much better off that we were in 2008.

We have more unemployed/under employed, worker then we had when He took office. After 4 years we are growing at less then 1.5% that is not even considered growing. Stagnet is more accurate. Bin Lauden is dead, yes with the hard work done over 10 years has paid off, because of the countless hours, and people working on this, GM would have been around if it were alowed to go bankrupt, and would have come out leaner, and better shape then it is today, and it would not have cost the taxpayers billions of dollars to save Union jobs. Our troops are still being killed over there, but now Al-Quada knows it just has to wait, before taking over both countries. Inside a year they will be back to there they were in 2000. And all our progress we made will have been waisted. Not to mention all the lives that were lost. Our current policy is to leave, you are on your own. How is the President helping the middle class? Giving away Billions to companies like Solyindra? Is it saying "I feel your pain"? Are we better off, H@ll No, we are bankrupting our future generations with huge debt, We have lost our ability to choose our own doctor, we are paing twice for products in just 4 years. If i were a member of a union then possibly I could say yes with the spending the president has done, but the only ones I see are better off today is the Unions, the Larges Banks, and the Presdent's buddys.

No worse than playing the race card at every turn. It has really gotten old.

JC-284199

And which race card would that be? The one where the dems called

Sick: Wikipedia entry calls Mia Love ‘dirty, worthless whore’ and ‘House Ni@@er’

Yeah, and I enjoyed that commemorative fly-over by W of Tampa in a Cessna 172 ... he's pretty good at observing disasters. And where was "Sure-Shot" Chaney this year ... wasn't he get reimbursed for speaking? What about the Queen of Mean, Sister Sarah, the Mother of all Grizzlies ... for some odd reason, nobody - not even Faux Noise who was sending er a check - put her in front of a microphone last week. But, I did notice that Lisa Ann (feature dancer and star of "Nailin' Palin") was giving command performances all week in Tampa; nice family values.

Note that Obama's rivals, from both parties, are productively serving the current administration and the country as well as standing up for him. It just about killed Santorum to mention Myth Romney's name and none of his other primary opponents were given the opportunity to endorse him last week ... several have notably not yet. For a guy that's an expert at organizing things and getting people to work together --- he's got a funny way of going about it.

Sounds like something Stalin or Hitler said. Look what happened.

Right wingers only know trying to force their limited view of morals on others. While advocating more tax cuts for so called job creators, but those tax cuts DO NOTHING. Why should we cut taxes for people who are not generating jobs here in US? Companies building jobs here in US should get a tax credit BUT tax rates do not need to be lowered on the wealthy and in NO circumstance do dividend taxes need to be lowered that's the stupidest idea ever.

Underemployed: YOU ignorant slutt! It is about all of US...not just the single person... you lberals will TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY for yourself or actions, look for EVERY possible government handout and wANT eveyone to pay your way.... NO ONE promised you a free ride... the fatal flaw,amongst many,in liberals thinking. YOU losers think the country owes you...WELL, WE DON'T!! GET OFF your dead ass, contribute constructively and work... try to improve yourself and KNOW, there are NO GUARANTEES in life!

underemployed:

I can tell how much you are enjoying it just by your name.

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world.

We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

The fact is, we pay for the lifestyle we expect. Without taxes, our lifestyles would be totally different and much harder. America would be a third world country. The less we pay, the less we get in return. Americans pay less taxes today since 1958 and is ranked 32nd out of 34 of the top tax paying countries. Chile and Mexico are 33rd and 34th. The Republicans are lying when they say that we pay the highest taxes in the world and are only attacking taxes to reward corporations and the wealthy and to weaken our infrastructure and way of life. So next time you object to paying taxes or fight to abolish taxes for corporations and the wealthy, keep this quote in mind…

“I like to pay taxes. With them, I buy civilization.” ~Oliver Wendell Holmes

This is the argument of a true moron. Government may provide these services, but at 5 times the cost and 1/2 the quality of what the private sector could produce it. Government providers are inept and inefficient.

Ryan will chew him up and spit him out, Biden is full blooded noob.

Biden is dog meat!

Biden may be chewed up by Ryan, but Ryan will definitely win the liar award.

I want some of the drink the Reps are having. Ryan is already shown to be a layer. He was not feed the right info. When he tried to hand a plant closing in Ohio onto the President. The facts are that the plant in question closed under Little Bush. Well Reps were never much on the truth anyway. Why tell the truth when a lie will do. Ryan will look like the layer he his, when Joe gets done with him. He will want to take his ball and go home. He will tell Romney he wants out, because he can't lie and get away with it...

When Joe is finished with him Lyin Ryan --- he won't know what hit him. You're in the big leagues not Paul baby, and you can't hit the pitching.

Charlie - I have to guess you are trying to be clever. Didn't work - try again.

i hope crazy joe brings an extra pair of depends undergarments to the debate, he is going to need them.

Good stuff Uncle Henry! I actually thought Biden's speech was better then Obama's, but that is not saying much.

All the glitz and glamour are done.Hands down winner..The Democrats.Thats to be expected tho.

dezhawaii, That's the Reps problem, we were not asleep, All of America has been watching the Reps set on there hands and do nothing but things for the rich. Nothing. Then Reps always hope people are not watching. That fool Mitch McConnell said it right to all of us. My job is to make sure that Obama is a one term President. Who in the hell does he work for. Its sure not America. But I forgot, only Reps are real american's. And good Christians too. RIGHT...

Chuck - Your objection to some people having more than you is what??? The problem is not the 'haves' but the clowns who sit in DC (elected by all of us) who look first to themselves, and then again to themselves. And they can hang around doing nothing because we put them there. Too many have legal backgrounds to ensure that nothing is ever done easily. Too many lawyers equals too many answers. Two answers, at least, for every lawyer. Easy math test.

yoyoma. The only idiot in the white house was your little Bush. He is the Idiot that got us into this mess and he is the reason our Debt is so high. Starting wars, giving tax cuts at the same times. Little Bush thinks when you use a credit card, you really don't have to pay it back. And that is who you follow. Tells us all allot about Reps. Don't it.

Why were you watching reruns for the Rep's in FL.

Your one of the dumbest posters I've seen on here yet! Congrats!

If you look in the mirror you will see the dumbest of all , and you can partner with dumb and dumber your leaders Obama your welfare momma and biden.

Thanks for playing

I think it's way past your bedtime. Don't you have school tomorrow? No skipping allowed. You need all the education you can get!

your post makes no sense...just a bunch of poor-hating fact free garbage rhetoric

Joe is not the brightest light bulb so I will beg to differ with him on the state of the economy.

With Joe, would would not even put the word "bright" in the same sentance decribing him. The day after their convention we have a record bad jobs report. and if it were not for the 400 thousand former workers just giving up the unemployment levels would be a record lows. But no one want to use the new 14.7% unemployment rate.

You're right about one thing. No one is going to 'live long enough,' if Romey/Ryan have their way because they will screw everyone out of Medicare with a measly voucher that won't cover @!$%# and you'll be left to die.

should be FreedomOfIgnorantSpeechRules

It took Bush 8 years to destroy us, that didn't happen in 4 years either. It takes over 4 years for administrative policies to take hold.

The democrats have had control of the nations check book since 2006. The housing melt down was caused by the democrats that ease lending and forced banks to give loans to people that could not afford them or have any money to put down on a home making it ease to just walk away.
