Yes, Romney does promise change. Change Americans want no part of. We do not want Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security changed. We do not want couponcare. We don't want our tax dollar to go to the wealthy. We don't want to go back to the days before Roe v Wade.

In short, we don't want Romney.

Who believes a word this guy says anymore? Wow.

Everyday he takes a different stand on an issue.

No thanks Romney, you can keep that change.

Definitely want four more years of President Obama. Romney built his whole campaign on the economy not improving and guess what, the economy is improving. I believe President Obama will help the economy more than Romney and already has.

Romney would change us all back to the dark ages. NO THANK YOU!

Obama/Biden 2012

Mitt's change is to go back to the same old Bush policies that got us in this mess in the first place.

Mitt Robme wants to rob the middle class - a change for the worse

Mitt wants to give more tax cut for the rich - worth $5 trillion that is to worsen the debt problem

Mitt wants to have Big Bird as his lunch

We can't afford 1 day of Mitt Administration

"I promise change."

Mitt, we know you're Mister EtchOSketch. We don't want your kind of change. :)

Gee, where have we heard that one before? But let's do it again and expect different results this time.

Help Gary Johnson get 5% of the popular vote this election, and we'll get a real choice in 2016. End the two party system.

Mitt Romney "I Promise Change"....

Wait a minute. I thought that's what you have been doing for your whole campaign. I change my opinion every minute if it gets me more votes... or if the Kochs Brothers deposit a check in my account.

Obama/Biden 2012

LOL the Simpson's says it best. :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ltCIEbLMaQg

Jeff,

I agree....The Simpson's episode hit it on the head. EVERYONE should watch your clip.

What's amazing is that Homer lives on a FOX channel!

For the first time, Romney ISN'T lying! Of COURSE he'll offer CHANGE ... he'll CHANGE his mind ... he'll CHANGE his position on any given subject ... and he'll let you keep a little bit of CHANGE out of your paycheck after you pay most of it to him and his 1%ers. All Romney DOES is CHANGE, saying whatever he thinks needs to be said to get him in the White House.

Romney doesn't want to be president of the United States ... he wants to be the CEO of the United States ... with congress & senate as his Board of Directors & the 1%ers as the stockholders. They'll take all the money, then he can screw all "THOSE" people that he doesn't care about ... you know ... the middle class, seniors, military, teachers, auto workers and working poor.

Romney for 1% of Americans ... Obama for ALL Americans.

Obama / Biden 2012

Here is what Wrongme's promises are worth - zero.

"I will preserve and protect a woman's right to choose, and I am devoted and dedicated to honoring my word in that regard."
– Televised debate while running for Massachusetts Governor in 2002.

Now, he only favors abortion in case of rape or incest - and his buddy Ryan, Akin and Mourdock don't even allow for those exceptions.

What is this "Real change" Robme keeps talking about?

Folks, any clues?

He's sure loosing his mind thinking we are gonna hand him the country so he could milk us all into oblivion and then run to the Cayman Isslands once it's all said and done....

I dont think so Mr. Shrewd businessman. This is the good ol USA, you aint firing no one anytime soon son...

Keep making profits somewhere else, not on the middle class' watch

yeah, ben. i live in israel. its bizarre to me that jews would vote for romney. considering how racist mormons are and how much they hate jews, it would be like voting for hitler.

Yeah, Romney 'promises' whatever he thinks you want to hear

You mean

Romney's losing argument:

Obama 2012 - the only sane choice...

Unfortunately, in the polling industry Rasmussen is widely seen as having a flawed mechanism that inadvertently (?) tilts Republican by as many as 3% consistently. Some that compile "average" polling scores no longer will include Rasmussen polls because they think it is a flawed methodology.

If you look at the averages of many polls, not just at the poll you want to look at for comfort, you will find that most are now saying Obama is likely to exceed 300 electoral votes, and could go as high as the 320's or 330's.

Haggisbingo - THANK YOU!!!!! I LOVE It!!!!

Obama/Biden 2012

Read the Bloomberg story on Romney's conflicting ads...the ad message is determined by what that state's abortion position is...in other words, he's telling different stories in different states, just like he has done to each audience throughout his six year run for this election.

Even Newt Gingrich, you know the guy some of YOU supported till he was kicked to the curb, than you went to Rick Perry, until he was kicked to the curb, and you were left with Romney? Well Newt said Romney will lie and say anything to be elected.

I believe ole Newt has a point there, what's more interesting is the 47% Romney kool-aid drinkers who believe this man is for them......Anybody but Obama, huh, give YA'LL YOUR White House back.....LOL

Here where I live, in ignorant Mississippi, you can't even put up and Obama/Biden sign without some snaggle tooth red-neck knocking it down, or just outright destroying it, can't have an Obama/Biden bumper sticker without someone trying to destroy your property, yet when I walk my exercise route there are nothing but Romney/Ryan signs up all over, Romney/Ryan bumper stickers, anti-Obama bumper stickers on vehicles, untouched, please explain that? The hate is so venomous for President Obama that you can't even have a lawn sign for him, but Romney's signs are safe! In Mississippi, its racism, as it is mostly across America.

OBAMA/BIDEN....2012!!!!

Romney said his experience in the private sector blah blah blah

So Willard, why are the CEO's of both Chrysler and GM calling you out for being a bald faced lair. Why did self made billionaire Michael Bloomberg, who knows a thing or two about business endorse your opponent? Maybe because you don't know jack about building something or job creating. All you know how to do is take over a company, strip the assets and leave it on the side of the road.

The voters need to dump the house GOP and really move this country forward.

"I will reach out to both sides of the aisle. I will bring people together, doing big things for the common good. I won’t just represent one party, I’ll represent one nation. I’ll try to show the best of America, at a time when only our best will do."

But I'm NOT going to tell you how I'm going to pay for it, which tax deductions I'll do away with, or exactly what my plan is until you elect me. (he forgot that part)

What a narcissistic PIG!

Obama/Biden 2012

The only change Mitt Romney would make as president is to rich peoples bottom line . . in favor of them of course. Mitt, you are shameful.

O & JOE - 4 MORE . . . .BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT THEY STAND FOR, FOR SURE! :-)

If the Republicans care so much about compromise and working together then why has their agenda from Day 1 of Obama's presidency been to make him a one term president? Because the Republicans are lying hypocrite scum!

WHAT Change? Why do we need change?? Things are going just fine from my point of view!!! More people back to work means MORE PEOPLE TO TAX FOR ME!!!!

OUR SOCIALIST COUNTRIES WORKING TOGETHER . . . YOU PAYING FOR ME!!! OBAMA/BIDEN 2012!!!

not like Obama who has been the president of the democrats.

Or like the republican congress who has been a force for republicans and the 1%ers!!!!

Open your other eye, that way you MIGHT see the complete picture, not just the one Romney is sticking in front your one eye.

OBAMA/BIDEN....2012!!!!

For once Romney has uttered the truth ... he has changed positions on so many major issues on a regular basis ... and would for sure offer more change (of positions) if elected ...

And for you independent women ... wow ... would he offer you a change!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bah. America is not so stupid as to fall for that line again so soon.

Next he will be offering hope along with that change.

Don't you just love it when people like DB Akron cite "reports" as evidence? "Reports'" is a synonym for FOX talking points or Limbaugh exaggerations.

DB is a boiler room poster and simply has to be Ignored.

That's CHRIS Christie, by the way.....

Another week, another new flip flop campaign strategy. The welfare ads didn't work, let's try jobs; well, the jobs didn't work because President Obama has had 32 straight months of private sector job growth. Let's try telling voters Jeep is moving their jobs to China, or better yet--never mind both Chrysler and GM called Romney a liar. So the R/R team said, let's co-opt the Obama slogan since we aren't smart enough to think up one of our own.

Mitt, Would that be the same "change" back to Reagan/Bush & Bush policies of trickle down to the peasants while adding trillions to the deficit and debt? How would anyone know what Mitt means by "change" because he hasn't had the same position or policy for more than a few days at a time, maybe even a few hours. The only "change" Mitt offers is the pennies he'll give the 99% while the dollars go to his 1% friends and himself.

Ben-636050

Did you believe all those bad things Joe and Hillary said about Hussein during their primary??

I consider McCain unstable, and paranoid, he didn't get my vote, I consider Romney a flat out liar, and people like you who will do anything to get President Obama out of office, racist!

OBAMA/BIDEN....2012!!!!

Why in the world would we reward a party that has done nothing but stand in the way of this country's progress for the last 4 years for their own political gain?

HandsOffMyMedicare!!

.............Ahh... another RWNJ TROLL

Bush/Romney Not Now/Never Again

Roger-785733

The only change Mitt Romney would make as president is to rich peoples bottom line . . in favor of them of course. Mitt, you are shameful.

In case you haven't noticed, the rich have been getting richer for decades, and the the real incomes (inflation adjusted) of the middle class have been declining for decades. Trying to pin something like that on one political party is extremely ignorant. They both are at fault. The compounded inflation rate (the reason for the decline in real incomes) is over 2000% since the early 1900's, with most of that coming since the 1970's when we completely abandoned the gold standard. You won't hear Romney or Obama say anything to disparage the Fed though.

Am.Vets-ROMNEY: The illegal aliens are finished, you understand? I see a tamale, I kill the man eatin' it!

So R-money wants to make mexican food illegal? What about tex-mex food, or taco bell (imitation mex food)? What about homemade tortillas? Would it be illegal for me to have chili powder in my home? Because I just couldn't make my family's favorite chili without chili powder...

The economy is improving, the stock market is doing great, we are no longer facing complete economical collapse...and Mitt offers change. Change to what exactly? The road to another banking and Wall street bailout? No thanks. I don't have the money left to support their lavish lifestyle.

President Romney?

Welcome to the Corporate States of America.

Change...........

from a guy who has not had a job in how many years.

Outdated resume.

And he is promising to do a Sh*T load of stuff on Day One.

Obama/Biden 2012

I just looked at the headlines on MSN a few minutes ago, and here's what it says;

Tempers flare, death toll rises after Sandy

THAT is what the "status quo" will get you this time around.

Really? So the storm is all President Obama's fault?

Must be because of those messianic superpowers that you all claim that his supporters are supposed to believe that he has.

DB Akron

"Ben the update last night on early voting is Romny 50 Obama 45."

Is that another fact-free "fact" from Fox or a dream you had?

"Reports are that Romney Rally Crowds are swelling and Obama's shrinking."

Again, any proof?

That's what I though.

Bill Clinton came to Fargo in solidly Red state North Dakota where I live 3 days ago for a rally for Senate candidate Heidi Heitkamp. It was a last minute decision because of hurricane Sandy so no one knew about it until the morning of the event. There wasn't time to get a single ad in any paper or on the radio or television.

The result?

Overflowing crowd in the Fargo civic center with hundreds turned away because there just wasn't room for everyone.

Best argument there is for not going back to the policies of the GOP:

Private Sector Payroll Employment

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

Are we really going to vote for that again? Romney's tax plan was written by the same guy that wrote Bush's.

Damn right I'm happy about the last 4 years. The real question is, do you want 4 more like the last 4? Or 4 like the 8 before Obama?

The pace of creation of jobs in the private sector during the current administration is now greater than the pace in either of President George W. Bush’s terms in office.

Dick Morris was a Guru when he worked for the Clinton administration, and now that he doesn't liberals don't believe a word he says. But you cannot deny his accuracy in predicting election outcomes, and he claims Romney will win going away. Morris claims Romney will pull in over 300 electoral votes, and win the popular vote by 3-5 points. Funny how none of the mainstream polling has Obama over 50%, which is significant because if he loses by 3-5 points that will fall within the margin of error. In the end all the mainstream polling that gets it wrong will blame voter turnout, which if absentee voting to date has proven anything, it has shown that enthusiasm is down. That will hurt Obama and not Romney, those that want a change are going to vote. Lets hope Morris has it right.

"Plus ca change, Plus c'est la meme chose"

The more things change, the more they stay the same...

NP

Hartvig: If the had held that event at the DOME, they would have filled it too. Amazing site, all those people turning out.

HEY MITT...How's that Hope and CHANGE working for you now?...

Given the transparent ineptitude of the Romney campaign, change seems an unlikely prognosis. Things are so bad that Peggy Noonan, Wall Street Journal columnist and conservative Queen of Reasonableness, freaked out and called for a campaign intervention, then decided to issue a correction days later: “This week I called [the Romney campaign] incompetent, but only because I was being polite. I really meant ‘rolling calamity.’” Rush Limbaugh has gone into full-on panic mode (his only other mode is “pharmaceutically indisposed”): “If Obama wins,” he cries, “It’s the end of the Republican Party. There’s going to be a third party that’s going to be orientated towards conservatism—or Rand Paul thinks libertarianism.” Liberals smell blood. “GOP Civil War Is Coming,” the Daily Beast’s Bob Shrum says, looking forward to a series of defeats for “the party of angry white men.”

Ben-636050 ... don't you have enough sense to realize that the photo that you have plays to your ignorant white male base ... but does nothing for your cause ...

Keep it up for a few more days ... please!!!!

Thank's, but no thank's

You can keep your change Mr Romney!

I see this kind of personalities( LIKE ROMNEY, OR THE WAL-MARTS ) every single day in my line of business, and frankly I'm sick and tired of arguing with young, inexperienced, brain washed spoiled brats fresh out of college in the logistical and transportation sector, who cannot even ship a pallet of cashews across the street, over the phone every single day, as to why our company should lower our services rates, lanes satellite tracking system, SAFER DOT compliance ratings, and ever increasing energy prices.

This personalities feel that they are entitled to our services( Transportation, logistics, warehousing, distribution, pharma, Hospitals, labor etc, etc) for pennies on the dollar, while they charge us back outrageous prices for food, energy, medical and pharmacy bills.

Don't believe it?

Take a look at your grocery bill, your gasoline bill, your power bill, etc etc.

Absolutely everything has gone up, up-to 400% in the last 10 yrs, but our salaries and compensations.

And Romney is supposed to reverse all that?

What a joke!

No one described monopoly and price control in America better than Newt Gingrich, when He ran against Romney: Vulture Capitalism, plain and simple!

Once again, you can keep your change Mr Romney!

The American economy has been hijacked to Vulture capitalists for the last 30 yrs.

Can anyone see how important is the White House is for Wall Street in 2012, or do you still need a better explanation?

Rick the historic problem with polling in general is turnout, what motivates an individual to actually go out and vote, Has absolutely nothing to do with saying you'll vote for a candidate, which is polling.

Morris often bases his assumptions on total voters and not likely voters, which in turn I think works against his parties interest. By saying Romney will win hands down some supporters might think its OK to not vote, as if the candidate doesn't need it. The likely Voters dynamic is ever changing and is almost impossible to predict.

ROFLMAO, MYTH all chameleons change!!!!!! They also give off a nasty gas.

So if it's your guy, you'll work for the people, but if not, it's four more years of nothing getting done and the American people suffering the consequences of the inept congress to stop acting like grade school children!

The current governor, Gary Herbert, a Republican, has requested federal disaster aid for several state crises.' Stephanie Mencimer, Reporting...

Hurricane Sandy, The October Surprise, ushered in the Latter-Days of Mitt Romney's presidential BET.

Romney's version of change is:

Reverting back to the economic policies of GWB/Cheney
Reverting back to the foreign policies of GWB/Cheney
Changing his stance on FEMA
Changing his stance on abortion
Changing his stance on contraception
Changing his stance on being a "severely conservative" candidate.

Money/Wealth siphoned from the from the the middle and working classes to the TOP 1% is the ONLY change one can expect from Willard Mitt Romney.

Mitt is a liar, tax-cheat and a pawn for Norquist, Koch brothers, neocons and their ilk.

The numbers I see here following posts are wonderfully heartening--thanks to everyone here posting truth for our President Obama! The rest show who they are, 'nuff said.

In the end, argue as you will over polls, it's not over 'til it's over.

The House is the only reason anything get done in Washington, unless you count Sen Reid stuffing legislation in his pocket as getting stuff done.

GOP supporter and just voted for Obama and Tester. The reason was Romney's pandering for change. At least I know Obama spends lottin.

Obama has been a failure on every level except empty rhetoric production, class warfare and trivial talk show participation. Its time for financially literate adults who can function in a two party system instead of some thin skinned narcissist Robin Hood idealogue. See Peggy Noonan's WSJ article today, scathing indictment of the Obama presidency.

Romney Ryan 2012

Promising is easy. Every politician is an expert at that.

Does this mean Romney is about to sit down and shut up? Gwaddamn, I sure hope so. I've never been so tired of hearing the most outrageous lies, I mean lies about former lies, and lies about lies He forgot to yet tell. Romney is in critical need of a mental overhaul and several tongue massages. Hope the nutty sum-bitch is done with politics. The whole republican party needs to be soaked in salt and vinegar for a year or two, then returned to the manure pile from which it was molded.

Romney, "Real Change" (2012)

Obama, "Change" (2008)

Romney, "I will bring people together. I won't just represent one party. I'll represent the nation." (2012)

Obama, "We're not the red states & the blue states. We are the United States." (2008)

Follow the leader....follow the leader......follow the leader.....follow the leader.

Obama/ Biden 2012

Never forget that when OBAMA first confronted Hugo Chavez in Latin America he cowered and sold the American people out as just another country in a world full of countries.

Hillary Clinton, the Whore of Babylon said "The AMERICAN PEOPLE are to blame for all the violence in Mexico.

Just how are the AMERICAN PEOPLE responsible for Mexicans QUADRUPLING their population in the last 50 years?

"Mitt Romney's fantasy that Senate Democrats will work with him to pass his 'severely conservative' agenda is laughable," Mr. Reid said in a statement on Friday, trying to puncture Mr. Romney's closing election argument that he'll be able to deliver on the bipartisanship President Obama promised in 2008 but has struggled to live up to."

I am SICK AND TIRED of our "representatives" (AKA professional politicians) outright telling us that they are incapable of working together on issues that are breaking the back of the US. Harry Reid is a turd in an expensive suit. He's previously told us that it was unnecessary/pointless to attempt to formulate and pass a national budget (one of the mandates of Congress- aka his job), which he has held his word for over 3 years! He's thrown around accusations yet provided no evidence to his claims. If he wasn't a politician (in the real world) he'd be taken to court for slander and held to his words, but since he's a politician he gets away with slewing crap, doing crap, and taking it all the way to the bank.

Look folks, I'm waaaay beyond political parties (I have very strong opinions about what is right and reasonable to do with our nation, but I don't care what party you are affiliated with if you are trying to do the right thing). I despise career politicians and political posturing BS. If we don't get our acts together (now) then this country will tank. Feel free to call me a fatilist, but I don't see how our country survives when we outspend our GDP, are selling bonds to ourselves to float our debt, and printing our way out of debt. A recent report noted that we spent over $60,000 on welfare programs per household receiving them! Am I a petty 1%er- no, I'm saying that there are plenty of families whom don't make $60,000 per year, yet our politicians are creating programs that are spending significantly more on those whom aren't working. So you make $50,000/yr and your next door neighbor gets more by not working- that's wrong! We are setting up ourselves for a dramatic crash so we've got to wake up, grow up, and get this country back together. We are not going to get that done if our politicians keep wetting their diapers and crying about the other guy. Demand more of your representatives!

I am tired of having to be mad at everyone. When I meet someone, I have to ask them, "Am I suppose to be mad with you? Are you male or female, young or middle age or old, white or black or latino or other, wealthy or rich or poor, healthy or not, how many children, An 'A' student or a waste of time, what is your credit score, do you walk or do you waste gas when going to a destination, do you refuse 16 oz. drinks, do you whisper in your dreams that you are a US citizen,' ... the list goes on forever.!

I am ready for a new POTUS! Vote ROMNEY!

Moshuluu, it is the same where I live – in a rural Colorado county that is 90% Republican. It is said that I cannot put an Obama sign in my yard for fear of bricks being thrown in one of my windows, or an Obama bumper sticker on my car for fear of my car being keyed or the windows broken out. Not long ago, an Obama campaign office in Denver was attacked with gunshots when there were people inside. Why are Republicans so hateful? Our country is changing with the times and the Republicans don’t want any part of it. I look at the make-up of people in the Romney rallies on television, and the crowd is 98% white (and I am a white female myself). The Republicans on this vine and at Romney’s rallies hate the fact that the U.S. has a black President and they spew lies and hate. They never used to be that way. Today’s Republicans need to get with the program and change with the times instead of living in America’s bigoted past.

I don't see how our country survives when we outspend our GDP, are selling bonds to ourselves to float our debt, and printing our way out of debt. A recent report noted that we spent over $60,000 on welfare programs per household receiving them!

You are woefully misinformed, but then, most Americans are. I blame Fox and the corruption of money in politics. (a) We are not spending more than our GDP; our deficit is $1 trillion, the GDP is $15 trillion (greater than at any time in history, by the way. Even our per capita GDP is greater than at any time in history. The only reason times feel bad is that all the money is in the hands of only a few)

(b) All of federal welfare spending (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) is about $22b, or about 12 days of running the Pentagon. The average works out to about $14,000 per year if you stay on welfare for a year.

(c) the vast majority of your tax dollars goes to wealthy people, like Jack Welch and the Koch Brothers and Mitt Romney himself. For example, all income taxes total $900b. Interest paid to those who own treasury bonds is $250b, or over 25 cents of every tax dollar goes right into the pocket of a rich guy

(d) the wealthy billionaires who bankroll Romney do it to get more of our tax money, not less. Does anyone really think tax cuts and pentagon spending hikes will lower the deficit? Romney will do the same thing Bush did - which is greatly enlarge deficit spending for the benefit of the wealthy few at the top.

The problem is Romney doesn't stand for ANYTHING.

"Change" from Romney? Hahaha just like "Change" from Obama.....Change for the WORSE!

What is REALLY insane is that ANYONE would actually believe this "Nonsense"!

Sadly some of US will believe in anything Spewed from a Demo-Republo-Rat as if it meant something Real!

Wall Street Oligarchs are Real....Romney and Obama are NOT!

Obomney / Byan 2012......$1,000,000,000 Spent to maintain Wall Street Control....Nothing for US but Endless Corporate "Not Wars" for their Fun & Profit....Guaranteed!

Don't believe? Watch PBS and learn....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1l-8PFk8j5I

Anyone who believes Romney (or Obama) stands for change should be ashamed of themselves!

"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever." ~George Orwell, 1984

Trickle down economics does not work. It has severely damaged the healthy income distribution that helps our economy grow. Romney is a trickle down true believer. His solutions always seem to revolve around what the rich can do for us. He is mistaken.

Top 1% get 24% of our nation's annual income ( up from 10% in 1980). The other 99% has shared a 15% reduction in their share of the nation's income. The rich sit on their vast sums of money waiting for consumer sales to rise before investing in the growth of their businesses. This imbalance was also present before the Great Depression.

This is no coincidence, but rather a cause of financial system failure. Too much investment money compared to consumer spending results in too much production and sales capacity and too little demand for goods and services and results in recession.

Too much investment money leads to investment in more risky markets such as mortgage securities. It leads to market bubbles. When the bubble bursts and the lenders end up with huge bad debt, you have a financial crisis as well.

Too much investment money was a huge underlying cause of our recent financial collapse. Consumer debt was fueled by the increase of the wealth of the wealthiest among us. They paid us less and loaned us more. It's really that simple. Fairness in income distribution helps our economy grow at a steady pace. Production capacity expands as sales increase. Worker incomes fuel sales growth. Investment money flows into expanding business that experiences higher sales. And the cycle repeats itself. This is what makes an economy grow.

Romney doesn't understand economic growth. He only understands how to make money from an expanding economy, not how to expand it.

Obama understands economic growth. It really is from the middle out.

OBAMA 2012

Romney will change everything back to the way Bush set it up. He hired ex-Bush advisors to make it happen. That is change America cannot afford.

Romney/Ryan, an avoidable disaster.

@ Ben-636050 post 1.2

Israeli's should not be voting in our elections! We have a problem in this country with people that don't live here being able to vote. We are allowing people to come here and have babies just so those babies can be Americans. After the birth of such babies they are taken back to their native country and raised. When those children grow up their children are automatically made American Citizens because one of their parents is American and there starts a chain of American Citizens that never live in America, each able to vote in our political system. Some one tell me if I'm wrong. Chinese women are doing just this along with women from all over the world, it a fact! It may not happen in this election although it could that people that don't live here decide who our President is. This is wrong! We need to stop it now before it gets our children killed in someone else's war!

Teacher to Mitt, "Keep your eyes on your own paper. I'm going to tell you only one more time. Stop using your eraser and changing your answers."

Obama/ Biden 2012

Romney telling us that he is different from Obama is like "the pot calling the kettle black." Folks, the pot and kettle parties are not working! Time for a "Real Change" in this country. Demand politicians that are beholden to you, not to their party. Take this country back to what our forefathers fought the revolution for. Outlaw parties and outlaw the lobbyists that feed them billions of dollars every year. Don't vent your rage on each other...vent it on the pots and kettles that play you like a drum.

Shaak,

In America, millionaires control 56% of the total wealth. 5.1 million people. In most of the rest of the G20 millionaires control about 20-25% of the wealth.

I just looked at the headlines on MSN a few minutes ago, and here's what it says;

Tempers flare, death toll rises after Sandy

THAT is what the "status quo" will get you this time around. An incompetent "President" for whom the media "covers up."

Tempers are flaring because the power is out. And, that's not the President's fault. The workers of my local utility are putting in 16 hr shifts. They're working as fast as they can (in many cases, they don't have power at home, either). Utilities have imported thousands of workers from other states (no easy task considering how many states were hit). What more do you think that Obama and FEMA can do about the situation? You don't bring in the National Guard to work on power lines!

Of course, if Romney is elected, we won't have to worry about FEMA. He wants to send its money to states and private companies. Surely, as a businessman, he realizes that it is more efficient to have one central agency with massive resources than asking each state to try to duplicate the same capabilities, especially since, in any given year, relatively few states will need them.

Oh, I just love Biden. He is speaking in Ohio but thinks he is in Florida. He is in Florida but thinks he is in Ohio. He thinks we are fighting in Iran instead of Afghanistan. This senile 70 year old is a heart beat from the presidency. Can we afford the risk?

The President's efforts to solve our unemployment problem and to control the deficit have not worked. The President's economic plan for the next four years is devoid of detail and budget and is mathematically impossible.

The Obama administration document on the stimulus stated what the stimulus was designed to do. According to that document if the stimulus were passed unemployment would not go above 8%. That did not happen. The Obama administration created and used this document to sell the stimulus spending bill as the solution to the nations unemployment problems. The stimulus did not solve our unemployment problem. According to that official administration document if the stimulus did its job as it was designed then unemployment should now be well below 6%. Furthermore, if the stimulus bill had done its job then the President would not have to propose a second stimulus. The numbers in that document were not presented as speculation, they were presented as specification. This official Obama administration document said what the stimulus was going to do. Clearly what the Obama administration said would happen did not happen.

To me, reelecting the President means 4 more years of the same just hoping that things change. The President's new program to fix the the economy is just more of his same on going program to fix the economy. My biggest concern is all of the debt that has been building up. I estimate that an additional 5 trillion dollars of debt will end up costing the tax payers 50 trillion dollars to repay in 180 years. I agree with the President when he stated:

And the cost of our debt is one of the fastest growing expenses in the Federal budget. This rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy, robbing our cities and States of critical investments in infrastructure like bridges, ports, and levees; robbing our families and our children of critical investments in education and health care reform; robbing our seniors of the retirement and health security they have counted on.

Every dollar we pay in interest is a dollar that is not going to investment in America’s priorities. Instead,interest payments are a significant tax on all Americans–a debt tax that Washington doesn’t want to talk about. If Washington were serious about honest tax relief in this country, we would see an effort to reduce our national debt by returning to responsible fiscal policies.

Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that “the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.

~ Senator B. H. Obama, March 2006

ahhh mittens.. change and HOPE? lol.. okj buddy. you couldnt even make your OWN slogan?

mittens has been on both sides of every issue and then some. i sure cant wait to see his smug face the day after he loses and realizes he spent ANOTHER 100 million of his own money to lose! lol

Smlfry, Moshuluu,

The answer to where the right wing hate comes from may be as simple as Fox news and right wing radio. Clear Channel owns more than 900 radio stations across the country. Bush 43 changed the rules so they could have many more stations in a single market than previously allowed. Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, and Sean Hanity present slightly different flavors of hatred and racism that Clear Channel pushes to indoctrinate the succeptable portion of the population. Clear channel is owned by...wait for it....Bain Capital, the company from which Mitt Romney gets millions every year. He used to be the boss.

Kinda stinks don't it. But wait, there's more.

Former Bain employees formed a new company HID. They, with Mitt's son Tagg, bought Hart intercivic, the voting machine company with their easily hackable machines in Ohio and Colorado. (other states too, they are the third largest.) For that matter, Partizan Republicans control all five electronic voting machine companies. These machines have been shown to be easily manipulated to change the vote count. They should be banned.

As a middle class American who works in the private sector, I DO NOT want my taxes going up and my mortgage deduction disappearing, just so Romney can pay 0.82% in taxes.

I do not believe in redistributing my wealth up to people who have more wealth.

That is why I will vote for Obama.

Barry NJ

Sometimes people in desperate situations get angry. That they were angry yesterday surprised me.

With millions in trouble in New Jersey, New York area, some will have to wait a little while for help to arrive. As I recall, we were all told that a minimum of a 3 day supply of necessities such as water and food should be kept on hand for emergency use, to allow time for help to arrive. The storm hit on Monday night, Tuesday morning and three days later, its Thursday night, Friday morning. All the advice from experts on storm disaster recovery said count on 3 days for help to arrive. Friday would be the day outside help should arrive and it did. This is no failure. This is what was considered the optimum for storm relief.

That some received help on day 1 and day 2 and day 3 and day 4 illustrates that relief efforts were ongoing, but the number of people in need was in the millions. Those having to wait until day 4 should not have experienced any problem with a 3 day supply of provisions. Republicans like to preach about personal responsibility except when personal irresponsibility serves their purpose.

You are wrong to label relief effort anything but a success, but what can I expect from a Romneyite just days before the election.

Romney's actual disrespect for the American people is the main reason to vote against him:

Mitt Romney’s campaign insults voters

By Editorial Board, Updated: Friday, November 2, 11:34 AM

THROUGH ALL THE flip-flops, there has been one consistency in the campaign of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney: a contempt for the electorate.

How else to explain his refusal to disclose essential information? Defying recent bipartisan tradition, he failed to release the names of his bundlers — the high rollers who collected hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations. He never provided sufficient tax returns to show voters how he became rich.

How, other than an assumption that voters are too dim to remember what Mr. Romney has said across the years and months, to account for his breathtaking ideological shifts? He was a friend of immigrants, then a scourge of immigrants, then again a friend. He was a Kissingerian foreign policy realist, then a McCain-like hawk, then a purveyor of peace. He pioneered Obamacare, he detested Obamacare, then he found elements in it to cherish. Assault weapons were bad, then good. Abortion was okay, then bad. Climate change was an urgent problem; then, not so much. Hurricane cleanup was a job for the states, until it was once again a job for the feds.

The same presumption of gullibility has infused his misleading commercials (see:Jeep jobs to China) and his refusal to lay out an agenda. Mr. Romney promised to replace the Affordable Care Act but never said with what. He promised an alternative to President Obama’s lifeline to young undocumented immigrants but never deigned to describe it.

And then there has been his chronic, baldly dishonest defense of mathematically impossible budget proposals. He promised to cut income tax rates without exploding the deficit or tilting the tax code toward the rich — but he refused to say how he could bring that off. When challenged, he cited “studies” that he maintained proved him right. But the studies were a mix of rhetoric, unrealistic growth projections and more serious economics that actually proved him wrong.

This last is important — maybe the crux of the next four years. History has shown that it’s a lot easier to cut taxes than to reduce spending. Republican presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush promised to do both, managed to do only the first and (with plenty of help from Congress) greatly increased the national debt.

Now Mr. Romney promises to reduce income tax rates by one-fifth — for the rich, that means from 35 percent to 28 percent — and to raise defense spending while balancing the budget. To do so, he would reduce other spending — unspecified — and take away deductions — unspecified. One of the studies he cited, by Harvard economist Martin Feldstein, said Mr. Romney could make the tax math work by depriving every household earning $100,000 or more of all of its charitable deductions, mortgage-interest deductions and deductions for state and local income taxes.

Does Mr. Romney favor ending those popular tax breaks? He won’t say. But he did take issue with Mr. Feldstein’s definition of the middle class: Mr. Romney said he would protect households earning $250,000 or less. In which case the Feldstein study did not vindicate the Romney arithmetic — it refuted it. Yet the candidate has continued to cite the study.

Within limits, all candidates say and do what they have to say and do to win. Mr. Obama also has dodged serious interviews and news conferences. He has offered few specifics for a second-term agenda. He, too, aired commercials that distorted his opponent’s statements.

But Mr. Obama has a record; voters know his priorities. His budget plan is inadequate, but it wouldn't make things worse.

Mr. Romney, by contrast, seems to be betting that voters have no memories, poor arithmetic skills and a general inability to look behind the curtain. We hope the results Tuesday prove him wrong.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/mitt-romneys-election-campaign-insults-voters/2012/11/02/69fcc1fc-2428-11e2-9313-3c7f59038d93_story.html?tid=pm_pop

• Thank God -- in just 4 days we will no longer have to listen to the Romney lying machine. I remember every presidential candidate since Ike/Stevenson in 1952 and this Romney clown is the most dishonest candidate of them all.

"Israel absentee ballots Romney 84% Obama 16%."

• Hey Ben -- this is The United States of AMERICA, not the United States if Israel.

At this point it doesn't look too good for ol' Mitt. The latest chart I saw has Obama with 253 Electoral College votes (combination of Solid D, Likely D, and Lean D) and Romney with 191. So all Obama needs from there is Ohio, where he has led almost from the start. Obama could lose all the other toss-up states, but as long as he gets Ohio, and the D states remain the same, Obama gets 271...and we have a winner. So four more years of Barack Obama...followed by eight years of Hillary Clinton. Along with a few Republican suicides I'd imagine.

I really don't want Romney as President. His policies take the country back 50 years, and having to look at his plastic, insincere smile for four years would mean four years of vomiting.

The House of Representatives will be essentially the same as now after the election, with Republicans in control with about 240 seats.

This means that a vote for Obama is a vote for several more years of 'GRIDLOCK', since Obama has demonstrated that he is either unwilling or unable to compromise with the Republicans.

Unlike Reagan and Clinton, who worked closely with an opposing Congress to get lots of good things done, Obama has made only one attempt to meet with the Republicans (on the Debt crisis), and even then he reneged on the 'deal' he made with Boehner.

With Romney as President, we will at least have some cooperation between the White House and Congress, and avoid more GRIDLOCK.

DG you'd better look at the real numbers and get some buckets ready, you're going to need them. hahahahahahaha

Roy Wilson, do you listen to anything republicans say or do you only hear what you want to hear?? Republicans said at the beginning of President Obama's term that to make him a one term president, we must all ban together and no matter how serious, no matter how important, we must all stick together and vote no on anything Obama tries to do. The gridlock you're talking about and what Romney is talking about was planned by republicans right from the beginning.

Female senators voting no on equal pay for women, the auto industry is the backbone of the American economy but republicans were against the auto bailout, republicans told President Obama that they are willing to work with him only if he gave them control over everything, not just the president of the United States, but who would ever agree to those terms?? Don't work with the president and next election say the president won't work with us, and we don't have to worry about the voters because our voters believe everything we say, they actually said, OUR VOTERS WILL BELIEVE EVERYTHING WE SAY!! Romney is proof that statement is true, the man lies about everything and the only ones that believe him are republican voters, just like they said.

Republicans said, if we can make it as hard as possible on the poor and middle class, all we have to do is blame Obama and our voters will believe us, just like now, you and others like you believe President Obama caused this gridlock.

BAD SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT- MARXIST I TELL YOU! BROUGHT TO YOU BE THE LIBERAL MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

Romney /Ryan same ole Republican BS different ticket - don't tell me your going to fall fot it again especally after Bush/Chaney almost took you out completly. After all you're still paying for their total destruction agendas of 2000/2004. I won't list the screw-ups, too many to mention and you already know what they were.

CAREFULL WHAT YOU WISH FOR - AMERICAS TOO FRAGILE TO TAKE ANOTHER REPUBLICAN PUNCH TO THE GUT.

Just three more days of this.

Three more days of this hate and lies that are 'reported' here. Just three more days of the vitriol and most obscene words to describe a decent person who wants what is good for the country above what is good for him or his party.

The race is too close to call based on the polls but even on this thread which clearly leans democrat, you can feel the momentum that Romney has created.

Every other post talks about Romney's lies and his flip flops. None of them actually list any and none of them talk about why their candidate is better. They ignore his lies and his failures. They call people who disagree racists because they have no other argument.

I agree that this will be a landslide for Romney. Even some of the libs here will vote for him because the bullies can't go in the voting booth and because they want to be on the winning team (more than anything else the dems are fair weather fans).

The libs are here giving their last ditch attempt to rally the base. The base should have been rallied months ago. The Republicans have moved on and getting ready for a kickass recovery that wasn't possible under Obama.

Three more days.

P.0bama went off-prompter again and finally said what the campaign is all
about:

Yesterday, in their "Closing Arguments"

Obama at his Campaign Rallies----" Don't boo, Vote, Vote, Voting is the best
REVENGE"

Romney at his Campaign Rallies----" Vote for Love of Country"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5urR_mTTcY

And Axelrod did say 0bama was "Speaking from his loins"...

Senator Inhofe of Oklahoma....

“President Obama is refusing to comply with the law that requires him to publish forthcoming regulations because he doesn’t want the American public to know the terrible cost of the regulatory barrage he plans to unleash in a second term.”

“So instead of being honest with the American people about what’s in store if he wins, he’s been trying to hide the fact that he intends to move forward with a slew of rules that will destroy hundreds of thousands of jobs and dramatically raise the cost of energy on American families.”

This is the person the left wants to re-elect.... a man that IGNORES the FEDERAL LAW..... at best, he's afraid of the facts...... at worst, he knows the contents & understands the devastation the new rules would have on our country.....

Either way, Mr Obama is VIOLATING FEDERAL LAW..... his oath of office DEMANDS he uphold the Constitution.... while all Barry does is thumb his nose at the responsibility........

Romney/Ryan Express.......... ALL ABOARD....... there's still time to SAVE the UNITED STATES...........

Romney so proud of his campaign having the "gathered strength of a movement". lol. Maybe a bowel movement.

Remember the Occupy movement. THAT movement had, and STILL has, more strength than your campaign ever had, or will ever see.

With Romney as President, we will at least have some cooperation between the White House and Congress, and avoid more GRIDLOCK.

Ummm...I don't think so! Mitt's big claim to fame on "reaching across the aisle" is his health care law...that the Democrats wanted all along! So it's not much of a reach when the other side wants it too.

DG you'd better look at the real numbers and get some buckets ready, you're going to need them. hahahahahahaha

Here are some "real numbers", from sources like Reuters, a place called Election Projection, SF Gate, and Real Clear Politics. The latter is particularly ominous for Romney, since Real Clear Politics' Nate Silver is eerily accurate in forecasting elections.

Who's crying now? I provide evidence; you provide...nothing.

He'll take the bills and we'll keep the pennies, no DOUBT!

Frickin' gremlins took a particularly tasty morsel of a post I made this morning. Man that ticks me off. Did I have a copy of it anywhere, nope.

Will have to try and file it with TWA,...miss you all - Fly bys are all I've got!

To my Liberal Friends

Remain Calm and Obama ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feisty-

Do you ever grow tired of all the attention?

Romney: "I Promise Change" - if my poll numbers don't improve, I will change my positions again tomorrow.

I challenge ANY Romney supporter to cite JUST ONE issue on which he has not completely reversed his position. JUST. ONE.

I asked this over a week ago and I still have not seen a single response.

I asked this over a week ago and I still have not seen a single response.

You do realize you're asking for the impossible...

Do you ever grow tired of all the attention?

Nah!

Keeps them too busy to spread their propaganda! ;o)

you won't get any takers, TNSEVOL. He has flipflopped on coal, abortion, cap and trade, tax cuts, EVERYTHING.

The only thing he has not flipflopped on is being a flipflopper.

That's why all his republican primary challengers warned us. “He changed his position on virtually everything. I’m a moderate Republican, that’s what I am, so I’d be inclined to support someone like Mitt Romney. But all those changes give me pause.”

As a Christian you Can Not vote for sin

Last time I checked my Bible one of the 'Top Ten' Sins was LYING.

Sorry, no way I can vote for Romney........it would be a sin!

Feisty,

Robme couldn't even change his shoes if they were on the wrong foot. Come to think of it, he walks like his shoes are on the wrong foot...ouch!!!

Johnny has been banging the Libya drum so hard that his brain is as rattled as his nerves.

Johnny: you can believe in whatever perverse doctrine you care to believe in. Doesn't change the most important thing about the United States. It is not a Christian nation, and the Wall of Separation still stands.

'Johnny 99'-

I would go easy on the Bible verses. There is not much Biblical support for the Republican approach to taking care of the sick, poor and elderly; or the superiority of the wealthy:

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

I remember Jesus throwing money-changers out of the Temple, and saying how hard it would be for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven.

I remember Jesus feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and curing the blind. I don't remember him complaining about their 'lack of personal responsiblity' for becoming hungry, sick or blind in the first place.

I grew up Baptist going to church four times a week, I can do this all day!

You have judged President Obama's faith.

"JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED." is still in my Bible.

Thus Obama has become thewhite liberals' Christ, offering absolution from the Sin of Being
White.

Bring it on little man. I'm a born-again Christian white woman who solidly believes in the Bible and has voted for Barack Obama twice now. I vote for him because he's the better man for the job. If you're so indoctrinated by voting with your Bible in one hand and ballot in the other, why pray tell are you voting for someone who puts the teachings of man above those of God?

Obama/Biden 2012

About time we put a business man in the white house ... not some stupid lawyer

Johnny, why is it then you post as if you are the "authority"? The Bible also says something like judge not, lest ye be judged. President Obama is a man of the Christian faith, you have no proof to state otherwise yet you have taken it upon yourself, just as does Mitt Romney, to make false accusations against another--also a sin according to the Bible. Perhaps you need to head to church and ask forgiveness of the God you claim to fear and love.

Obama is running on scare tactics and the same promises he made in 2008. Then if re-elected Obama can break all those promises again, so the next Democratic candidate in 2016 can run on them. None of the polls have Obama over 50%, and absentee voting is way down compared to 2008. Both signs that do not bode well for Obama.

Romney is running on lies.

There is no way a man who as not had a job in years, outdated resume

can do that SH*T load of day one promises.

Tribune (Obama) endorsement: Too Many Mitts --- Obama has earned another term

Some say Romney is a "good and righteous man". There is much evidence (i.e. the high school assault, animal abuse, endorsement of Mourdock, psychopathic business choices, etc.) to the contrary.

This is (only) one reason folks should deny Romney our presidency. There are MANY others.

Perhaps, you should (e.g. Wile Coyote) strap on an ACME rocket in an attempt to be first.

Johnny:

Are you Christian or Jewish? For someone who claims to be a Christian, you sure seem to have overlooked the teachings of the New Testament and Christ and are living in the Old Testament. You do nothing but promote lies and prejudice. Can you imagine the sorrow of Christ if he read your posts? All his teachings on compassion, fairness and justice ... shot down by someone like you who chooses to hide behind the word religion, using it as a mask to hide your face while screaming your prejudice and hatred at the top of your lungs.

Christ taught that anyone who boasted about their "faith" actually lacked it ... and that is what I see in you. Just a scared, prejudiced narrow-minded bigot who uses religion as a weapon to expound your close-minded views.

Crawl back under your rock and hide ... because President Obama will be in the White House for another 4 years!

Obama / Biden 2012

Ah, nothing ruins a good Tea Party faster than a little too much misplaced saltwater and another plutocratic stuffed shirt rubber stamp presidential candidate to remind us of George W. Bush's sorrowful mishandling of hurricane Katrina. Where's George W. Bush this weekend? In the Cayman Islands visiting Mitt Romney's money and teaching investors how to create tax-free shelters thereby avoiding the U.S. tax system. Classy, and so well-timed.

You're doing a heckuva job, Bushy.

Mitt Romney --- IS --- a lawyer**.

**Romney holds a joint Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration from Harvard.

Sandy-1851937... As compared to a man who has NEVER held a job and hides his college transcripts, fast and furious docs, passports, and now is shredding Libya docs so fast the 350 Chevy engine on the shredder is overheating.. Sounds like you've picked a great man for the job.

Romney/Ryan 2012 It's all but in the bag.

@Clint8U -

Romney has a JD (law degree), so I assume you mean you cannot vote for him?

A businessman? Well, a good businessperson (company owner, CEO, etc.) is in business to make money. They have a Board of Dierctors from whom they take advice and they have stockholders that pony up money to operate the company in the hopes that it will do well and they will get a return larger than they invested.

We are a NATION ... not a CORPORATION. If the United States were to be run as a corporation the president would be the CEO ... the House & Congress would be the Board of Directors and the Stockholders would be the 1% - 2% in the top income bracket. The job of the CEO is to make money for him/herself, the Board members and the Stockholders ... the other 98% - 99% of the "citizens" don't matter. They are just something to be used.

We do NOT need to have our country run as a Corporation ... we need it to be run as a nation ... where ther president is responsive to and cares about 100% of the citizens. We know all too well where Romney stands regarding the people of our country ... he said he didn't care about half of us.

Omaba represents the best interests of ALL Americans and is working hard for equality for ALL Americans, not just the 1%ers.

Johnny92078

That darn truths drive you pepole mad, huh? "The truth shall set you free"
You are being fooled by the great satan.

I'm tired of charlatans who thump Bibles at me, calling my President Hitler, Stalin, Satan. It annoys me.

From the inside of my twisted and special brain, I have a slightly different perspective, Johnny92087. Allow me to share, starting with a question:

What is on this Earth that has been here from the beginning, creating mountains and the valleys; rivers, lakes, streams, oceans; unveiling vast plains and prairies, expansive forests? Who caused the great flood, and rain to fall for forty days and nights, flooding the entire surface of the earth? I can't say God for sure, but I can most definitely say water was the #1 player in the game.

And while God promised never to do that again, what if He changed His mind? There would be no witnesses left to testify against Him... and who would hold "Him" in judgement for such a crime? Catholicism? Mormonism? Judaism? Islam? Please. Sometimes it's simply easier to just Etch-a-Sketch the whole planet.

Which brings me to my theory, which is much more simple. Water is, for all intents and purposes, God; and when God wants change, lo and behold, notice how quickly and efficiently water gets busy reshaping everything with the greatest of ease, without compassion or mercy, without ideological, religious or socio-economic or most any other boundries not mountain-sized and solid as granite. Even in the latter case, history shows us that water has patience and will reduce any mountain to sand in time. Seems to me there's even something about that in the Bible.

Ironically, flooding this planet would do more in the end to cause life to flourish on Earth, not actually end it. Life would just be moved below the surface of the waters, where we all started, each and every one of us.

Water has always been here, never asleep, never disconnected from itself. It takes on various forms to serve so many purposes; and when we look for evidence of life elsewhere, DNA is not the first thing we look for. We search for what we know with 75% certainty is in every living body, the majority stockholder in our very mass: the eternal entity that is water; and all the evidence we need to know once and for all that we need to take care of our planet's fresh and salt water supplies.

Because unlike Mitt Romney, I believe Earth is heaven; and we are in the process of living an eternal life through the flow of Life, God, of Water, of Spirit, all interchangeably; Birds can fly, fish can swim; we become whatever we can dream through evolution. Everlasting life can know no timekeeper, so then consider that about 75% of our body, at all times, is inseparable from that everlasting life flow. 75% of our mass has been in, on, under or around Earth for 4.54 billion years or so. If you're a Christian and believe it's only been a few thousand years, so be it. Regardless of the timeframe, water flows right through us and we simply, dispassionately, flush it down the toilet three or four times a day. Sometimes it is unexpectedly released through a rapid blood flow, causing the entire form to fail.

The ultimate destroyer of this world above the shoreline is, was, and always will be water. Therefore, Water best be the God you begin to worship, in any form you choose to recognize it. And we best choose a leader for President who has that kind of respect for ultimate power. I think New York's Mayor Bloomberg and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie have a much better idea of what I'm talking about today than they did two weeks ago when they were publicly bashing our President at every opportunity; the same way clueless Mitt is still doing today. It would have cost him fewer points to have just gone into total seclusion for the remainder of the campaign.

You can't save the planet if you don't think it's broken.

Obama / Biden 2012

Even many Mormons can't endorse Romney. - Ian Emdee

You are under the mistaken belief that residents of Utah are Mormon. In fact the majority of Salt Lake City residents are not Mormon.

Comrade OBAMA will help Mexicans defeat America. He has already deferred millions of Americans jobs to foreign speaking illegal aliens in your own neighborhoods.

What I really don't understand is that you've got bible thumpers like Johnny here who support Romney, who is not only a pastor but a bishop in the Mormon religion.

Johnny - don't you know that Mormons consider the Bible most Christians use as perverted and corrupted? If the Bible is the source of your life view, why do you support a man who went on missions to teacher that your life view is that of Satan?

I'd really like to understand that. And I'd like to understand how people like Pat Robertson and the Billy Graham people throw their theology under the bus to support Romney. It's like their religious beliefs are less important than their political beliefs or (and I think this is true) most evangelical preachers do not believe the stuff that they say. I think the Pat Robertsons of the world view their flocks as suckers to be looted.

But as to Johnny and his ilk, I can only excuse it with remarkable ignorance about the very things that they claim ar most important to them.

Johnny92078

stop citing some useless blogs as your sources...we all know that Romney cites blogs as his "TAX STUDIES" but come on don't be Romney ignorant.

Johnnie 99: Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans remain
Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior.

If you are a true Christian you would follow the teachings of that rabbi in the New Testament. Oh, the Teabaggers of the day had him nailed to a cross.

truthinsarcasm - well you have the sarcasm down pat but no truth. President Obama is NOT hiding anything - everyone's college transcripts are confidential and cannot be released without permission. We have not seen Mitt's college transcripts; passport; or the traditional minimum of 5 years of tax returns that ALL PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES IN MODERN TIME HAVE RELEASED. Clearly, it Mitt who is hiding his deceit and fraud.

Our President is not hiding anything. And, the shredder nonsense - total nonsense. However I do understand Mitt had all documents shredded when the left the Governor's office in Mass. Hmmmmm,

Ironically, your (false) statement (above) actually contains (a kernel of) truth. That is, "residents of Utah are Mormon", is a factual phrase. Now, if someone said (and....none did) that "ALL residents of Utah are Mormon", you would have a point. But, sadly, you don't.

For your edification, consult: http://www.slate.com/articles/life/map_of_the_week/2012/02/mormon_population_in_the_u_s_an_interactive_map.html

As you can see, the state of Utah has one of the highest densities of Mormons in our nation. You might also want to review the HISTORY of Utah. Mormonism is fairly significant in it.

Do you think, in view of these demographic and historical facts, the Salt Lake City Tribune might be (at least) more sensitive to the concerns and opinions of MORMONS than a newspaper in (say) North Dakota?

That's the point (you missed). Thanks for the opportunity to provide clarity.

Obama has no plan- therein lies the problem. His hope and change was just tax and spend. He turned the reins over to Pelousy and Reid so he could party like a rockstar in the Whitehouse, and then when Pelousy went away, he was neutered. He has divided the country like no other and should be fired immediately. Hillary would have been a better choice.

mitt has no plan or else he would know the specifics of it and give them.

Yes, what's Mitt's plan for anything? "TRUST ME"

With the relatively strong October numbers, and the upward revisions to August and September, the economy has now created an average of 157,000 jobs per month so far this year. This may be a slight underestimate, in fact. The government has announced, but not yet officially incorporated into the numbers, its estimates of annual benchmark revisions, which would add to the jobs numbers in January through March.

Those revisions would bring average jobs growth throughout the year to about 165,000 jobs per month.

Game over.

real america, even IF your numbers were accurate, they're not even keeping pace with the kids coming out of high school, college and the birth rate. Look up the word stagnant in the dictionary.

Speaking of the Treasury:

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist
until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public
treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates
promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a
democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a
dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200
years.

Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth,
to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from
abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to
apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage.

If obama wins, We Lose.

Here's a few quotes for you:

“We can either have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can’t have both.” –Louis Brandeis, U.S. Supreme Court Justice (1856-1941)

“The man of great wealth owes a peculiar obligation to the state because he derives special advantages from the mere existence of government.” - –Theodore Roosevelt, U.S. President (1858-1919)

“I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.” - Abraham Lincoln

Johnny, I was with you right up to your last sentence, "if obama wins. We Lose" Of course President Obama will win this election because the uber conservatives who hijacked my Republican party have no NEW ideas. If your opposing candidate had a workable "PLAN" and folks rallied around that plan...this election would be a slam dunk for him. He doesn't, and the "cut taxes/slash socail programs/increase military spending" hasn't worked... People aren't buyin' what Romney is selling.

Handing the Nation to Mitt Romney's cronies is another step toward Oligarchy. Is that REALLY what you want?

Mitt is honest here. He is promising "change"... he is referring to his positions. All he is saying is that he will keep changing his positions. I admire his honesty.

Johnny:

If you quote someone like Alexander Tytler you should give him the credit. To steal someone else's words and offer them as your own makes you a thief. What does your scripture say about that?

Obama / Biden 2012

If OBAMA wins in 2012, Mexico promises to put his face on the new pesos.

Joe Biden knows about using other people's words, he has been convicted of plagerism.

Get rid of the crooks in 2012- vote Romney/Ryan

How did he end up getting convicted of something you can't even spell Crystal?... Your second sentence isn't in your own interest either.

How does one get convicted of plagiarism?

Right, newday,

The only change Romney/Ryan offer is a return to a mid-evil times culture where all the wealth and power are reserved to the Lords and Barons, a time when a days pay was a pound of rice and women were stoned to death for being seen in public without a family member or husband.

The days of the Puritans or American Taliban must remain buried in the history books.

Romney is a liar! He can't be trusted as the most powerful leader in the free world, His character as a leader in America will create a moral decline for America and the world. Being a leader is serious business! He is worse than ex-Pres. Bush!!!

It’s your choice, folk’s, so choose wisely, because your children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren are depending on you to make the right decision!

Stop...I'm about to bust a couple of ribs, laughing so hard!!!

NorCal, what are your thoughts on Mitch McConnell saying that his only agenda was to make sure that President Obama was a one term president? What are your thoughts on the House voting against what they had originally been in favor of if Obama compromised with them. Sorry to rain on your parade, but Obama has done a tremendous job with no hep and nothing but obstruction from the GOP.

And of course, the mountains of praise heaped upon the President by Governor Christie, Colin Powell and Mayor Bloomberg demonstrate what a failure he is at creating bipartisan support.

Romney is a shapeshifter, a man with no ideology of his own, who steals creative ideas from others in a pathetic effort to scrounge up every last vote. He has the integrity of a toaster and the intellect of a turnip. Is this really the guy America needs to move her forward into the future? Sure, if you consider 1955 the future!

"If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything!" Obama/Biden in 2012

your nuts. Obama gave Republicans their own ideas that they created and they voted against them. Is that what you mean by working across the aisle?

NorCal Moderate,

Two things:

First, why in the world would you think that Democrats would acede to working across the aisle with a Romney presidency? My guess is that 'obstructionist payback' would be a bitch.

Second, why would Rush Limbaugh, Grover Norquist, and the Tea Party EVER allow Mitt to follow his PHONY and PRE-APPROVED move toward the center with an ACTUAL move toward the center?

Romney will be prevented from working across the aisle by BOTH sides.

Sorry, but I think that you must be politically very naive.

You all miss the point. The point is, Obama absolutely can NOT work with this congress.

Period.

I can't stand another four years of Obama and his congress trying to teach each other a lesson.

charemor, what are your thoughts on Hussein telling the Republicans to shut up and get out of the way? What are your thoughts on Hussein ranting that "I won" in regards to how he doesn't need anything from the Republicans? And how about your thoughts about all the closed-door meetings that Husseing had with Democrats only when crafting the PPACA and Cap and Trade???? If you're claiming that Hussein had no help from the GOP, then that was his own doing.

"Romney/Ryan 2012 - A New Hope"

LOL!! So he's Luke Skywalker now?

Seriously, how can you even type that without falling out of your chair laughing? What a bunch of robots.

NorCalModerate: Sounds like you are getting your information from the Faux News talking heads. Remember the big meeting of the Republican "minds" shortly after Obama was elected...in which they made it their number one priority to make Obama a one-term POTUS??? Remember how many jobs bills the House put forward - 0 - and how many anti-abortion bills they put forward - hundreds - ? Obstructionist Repubs in the House & Senate will pay for their actions in this election. When Obama is re-elected, they will have no choice but to meet him half-way in his second term in order to stop the bleeding of seats in both chambers in the next election cycle. Maybe - just maybe - they will actually start working FOR the people and not simply AGAINST Obama.

As for Romney's ability to "work with Democrats" - give me a break. If that's the case, why wasn't he re-elected to a second term as Governor. Also, why were 90% of his vetos overturned by the Massachusetts legislature during his term? Doesn't sound bipartisan to me at all.

President Obama has reached his hand across the aisle again and again, And every time the Republicans spit on it.

You can't blame Obama for dems and repubs not working together. He is trying. Republicans are the one refusing, even going so far as to vote against their own ideas just to oppose the President.

Norcal---No - think again. Romney was known as the Imperial Governor. He talks a good line, but he was a veto king. He had his space roped off and tape on the floor telling people where to stand. Very hard for people to get to know him. So, if you think he is going to be able to work with the Democrats --think again.

I will stick with President Obama, and hopefully with this election we will say good-bye to the Tea Party!

Yeah, sure, Obama has NO fault in this. None at all. Nope. Couldn't have contributed to the problem, right?

Wrong.

From our very own First Read:

http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/08/11/13234565-obama-gets-his-target-with-pick-of-ryan?lite

really? Look at Obama and Christie-- that is bipartisan for the country. Republicans have no interest in bipartisanship-- they are juvenile bullies. If there is a Republican winner long term, it will be someone like Christie.. not Romney who has no principles whatsoever -- someone who lies non-stop rather than standing up for something. Hopefully, the images of Obama and Christie working together for the COUNTRY will start putting people like Romney back where they belong-- in a dark corner of American history.

Romney's 'Day One' agenda:

1) Repeal or defund Obamacare

2) Push for a 20% Tax Cut

3) Approve the Keystone Pipeline

How much bipartisan 'Goodwill' do you think would be left after that first day in office?

I already have hard proof that Obama can't soften congressional republicans. I'm absolutely willing to take a shot with someone else. If there were another democrat running, I'd be willing to give that candidate a shot! But as it is, Obama is a definite no.

and you are about as stupid as a box of rocks if you think Romney can work with others a common affliction of the current republican party middle aged white men with tiny penises that are scared to death of strong intelligent women and anybody who doesn't look like them. Never been out of the country but knows so much about Europe etc. women republicans usually so stupid that if they didn't have a vagina there would be a bounty on their heads, then the gutless white trailer trash that calls itself the "tea party' it sounds better than the Klan right. 55 year old white man here, make 6 figures I will come back to the GOP when they kick the trash out, think of it, intellectual pilars of the party Santorum, Palin, Bachman a joke, nominate a guy who will do or say anything, take any side of any issue, depending on the audience little puppets of your masters

you are about as stupid as a box of rocks

Thanks for that, Dan. Sure makes me want to vote for your candidate when you start your response off with an insult!

NorCalModerate-

So you would reward Republican obstructionism with voting for their candidate for President, which was their goal all along?

Doesn't that set a dangerous precedent for future Congress' actions? If they fail to work towards bi-partisan compromise and obstruct it will result in political reward? That the Tea Party 'take no prisoners' approach is the right way to do things?

If my son doesn't cooperate at school I don't blame the teacher or his classmates, I discipline him.

Tnsevol, I can't stand another 4 years of teaching each other a lesson. I just want to get stuff done, get this recovery working faster, and THEN we can waste valuable time and money firing those who need to be fired.

This, what's going on now between the President and congress, just isn't working. And I'm not willing to jeopardize the recovery to set it right. Let's get the country fully recovered, then we can weed out the idiots.

And did you see that Sen. Reid basically said that Democrats are going to be the new Republican obstructionists if Romney wins? Sigh. I guess we're screwed, either way.

Might want to boost your meds then, NorCal. President Obama will be re-elected and we'll also be getting rid of Dan Lungren and his ilk. My Republican party has been taken over by extremist, fringe right loonies. There was a time when the Republican party had a more centrist, balanced approach. When the Republican party comes back from the fringe, they will become relevant again, but for TODAY....no.

Nor Cal, I understand & respect your concerns . . . . BUT, There is NO CHANCE of an economic recovery under Myth Robme & Lyin Ryan! do some research - read some stuff - anyone who knows economics will tell you - look for articles by Robert Reich, & Paul Krugman (NY Times).

His proposed policies CAN'T work - not mathematically possible.

And he has NO HISTORY of bi-partisanship:

.

After this election, the Republican's will realize how angry the voters are, because of their pledge to oppose everything Obama has tried to do . . . if we voters speak up, they will have to "work across the aisle" IF VOTERS DEMAND IT.

THAT IS HOW TO GET WASHINGTON WORKING AGAIN!

.

O & JOE - FORWARD! Fire the Obstructionists! :-)

If this election is as close as it looks there may not be any more cooperation between the President and congress than what you see now. Republicans will start campaigning for the bi- election right away and won't be in a compromising mood any more than they ever have have been.

The sad thing about all of this is, if we can't even be diplomatic at home, how do we expect to get good diplomatic outcomes abroad?

Romney/Ryan 2012 - A New Hope

A new hope for what? They haven;t told you anything about how they will make American better.

Charemor, the relationship went south when Obummer told the the repubs in the stimulus debate "I won" and shut them down. Bipartisanship works both ways and this president has never understood what the term means.

From your computer to God's ear, Fancy :-)

Looks like a huge win for Mitt Romney. Sorry Mr. President : you want to cut veteran health benefits and not cut unionized civilian defense workers health benefits. Sorry Mr. President you have failed us veterans and our Libyan Ambassador and its time to give you your pink slip. We wont be fooled again.

Senator Inhofe of Oklahoma....

“President Obama is refusing to comply with the law that requires him to publish forthcoming regulations because he doesn’t want the American public to know the terrible cost of the regulatory barrage he plans to unleash in a second term.”

“So instead of being honest with the American people about what’s in store if he wins, he’s been trying to hide the fact that he intends to move forward with a slew of rules that will destroy hundreds of thousands of jobs and dramatically raise the cost of energy on American families.”

This is the person the left wants to re-elect.... a man that IGNORES the FEDERAL LAW..... at best, he's afraid of the facts...... at worst, he knows the contents & understands the devastation the new rules would have on our country.....

Either way, Mr Obama is VIOLATING FEDERAL LAW..... his oath of office DEMANDS he uphold the Constitution.... while all Barry does is thumb his nose at the responsibility........

Romney/Ryan Express.......... ALL ABOARD....... there's still time to SAVE the UNITED STATES...........

Romney also stole Pres. Obama's foreign policy, and more recently his stance on the auto bailout.

Well, Romney was against the auto bailout...then he was for it, claiming it was 'exactly' what he proposed...now apparently he is against it again, claiming it sent jobs to China.

Sure is hard to keep track of Romney's positions. Do they write his latest positions in chalk or pencil?

As Jon Stewart said, "I'm thinking Romney is leaning Obama!"

I have to admit, abandoning everything he campaigned on for a year in the first debate was bold, even though overtly disingenious. Obama looked shocked. I imagine he thought everyone would see the absolute reversal on tax cuts, Medicare, dismantling Social Security, etc. and turn on the flip flopper. Instead, everyone thought it was great! Romney won!!!!

Or lost. Or won big time. I promise. No, I don't. I didn't say that.

This guy Wrongme is the sleaziest professional career campaigner the U.S. has ever seen, and that's saying a lot.

And his own slaughtered company (Delphi that he and Bain murdered then sent to China) was Obama moving jobs to China???

Here is Queen Lipstick on the job creation myth:

“Gov. Romney has claimed to have created 100,000 jobs at Bain and people are wanting to know, is there proof of that claim? And was it U.S. jobs created for United States citizens?”
~Sarah Palin, Hannity, January 2012

To answer the question, nobody has any proof or evidence of Romney as a job creator. He applied that label to himself. That's all it took. Just like his invention of the 'Apology Tour'. It never happened, but Willard said it did, so that is good enough for the baggers.

If being a businessman equals using inherited wealth to buy up companies, loot them and lay off the workers, then yes, Romney is one hell of a businessman.

And he had all of his administration records in MA destroyed as he left office so that there would be no trail to his misdeeds there, according to so many people from MA. That is why he has very little support from MA or his "home state" (only his place of birth, not his home state) of MI.

Kansas will be won by Romney ! Perhaps, you should go to the store and get loaded up with Kaopectate or Lomotil early ... because we know you will "soil" your undies !

Yes, and we don't even get to enjoy the mental imagery.

Just me: Have you been reading or listening to the news? Neither candidate will win by a "landslide".

The Wrongme supporters seem to have picked up the 'wildly enthusiastic' banner dropped by Ron Paul supporters.

I wouldn't be surprised if he runs again.

Go find a Rehabilitation Center that will help you with your meth usage...so delusional!!!

Just me, I don't know if it will be a landslide, but I do hope he wins.

And it amuses me to no end that people who WANT you to vote for their candidate do so by slinging insults. I'm sorry, my liberal friends posting on this thread, but insulting a person doesn't make that person think "oh, gee, maybe 4whatisright is right after all and I should vote for Obama!" What do the insults and name-calling get you? Does it make you feel better? Because it sure doesn't make anyone want to take your political advice!!

Romney/Ryan 2012 - A New Hope

Just me - Now I'm not crazy about Romney but I don't even want him hurt in a landslide. I just want him to go away!

Obama/Biden 2012

NorCalModerate, good morning. I don't agree with you politically, but I do agree with your point on name calling. I don't get it either. Someone calling me a libtard will certainly change my mind ! I think you can make your point without all the nastiness. I have called Mitt Romney and empty suit and liar. I have never called another poster a bad name. FYI...I am also from NorCal and wish you the best. I know President Obama would ask you to vote for him....without name calling !

God Bless America....vote !

Patricia, right on. I wish there was more civility in political discourse. The thing that I don't like about the aggressive name-calling approach is that it makes people respond emotionally instead of logically. No good discussion comes from that. Do any of us even finish reading a post that starts out with a personal insult? Sigh. It's nice to meet another civil debater here on FR. There seems to be a growing number of us that want to discuss things logically.

Here's hoping for some nice weather for us on Tuesday!

NorCal...when the comment starts with an insult I stop reading. If the poster keeps it up, I put them on ignore. I think some of them are just here to insult each other. Others are intelligent and just passionate about their candidate/beliefs. I appreciate that.I really enjoy Jody Iowa, Frank Grimes, David Walker, Independent Redneck, Feisty ( yes I do enjoy reading her and love her passion !), Tomas Grande. Have you read Skip Nicholson Okla? Even if you don't agree with him, his writing is great. Weather is supposed to be good in Norcal Tuesday. My husband and I already voted absentee. Have a great weekend Norcal.

God Bless America...vote !

thanks Patricia - I appreciate your positive attitude, too!

I don't put "the haters" on ignore, though - I mark them "inflammatory" & hope they get suspended. I am happy to listen to anyone's well-reasoned post, whether I agree with their position or not.

But like you, I am totally put off by the nastiness & name-calling.

wishing you a pleasant weekend :-)

Thanks for the feedback KJNC. I don't mind reading posts that I disagree with. Those that I have on ignore are just usually offensive. I have taken 2 off of ignore recently...kind of like a test drive! I may take my politics to seriously sometime! I always enjoy your comments. You have a good weekend also :)

Bush policies are on the ballot. Get a clue.

Oscar -

Will someone please tell him that Bush is not on the ballots?

True, but his policies and advisors are.....

Mr. Obama might not have to bring up the previous administration if Bush III weren't running against him this election. Romney clearly wants to run the country in the same manner that GW Bush ran it. His faux move to the "middle" is just that - fake. Romney will get us into a war with Iran, condone torture, be a puppet to Rove/Cheney/Norquist/Koch Brothers/Adelson, try to privatize Soc Security and Medicare, balloon up a military "the likes of which no other nation will challenge", etc., etc. Sound like anyone you know?

That's true, Ed. Hussein has kept A LOT of Bush policies in place.

I believe change is what The Mitt would give us and that is also what scares me to death. He is for the kind of change this Nation does not need. Set us back years! When he yells I will give you change...run to hills and hide.

Obama/Biden 2012

75+% of Myth Robme's advisers are leftovers from the Bush admin . . . many of them neo-cons. That is ONE reasons why legitimately, "Bush is on the ballot"

On the other hand, Dubya is a paid speaker this weekend at an event in the Cayman Islands, teaching other 1%-ers how to off-shore their wealth and not pay their fair share of taxes . . . .

Bush's top-secret Cayman Islands speech: 'You're welcome, America'

YES, the last DEM president: on the campaign trail helping our President get re-elected.

and YES, the last REPUB president, in the Cyman Islands helping the wealthy get more wealthy, at the expense of the middle class . . . the 47% they don't care about.

.

O & JOE, 2012, Myth Robme, 1040's (because we KNOW he lied on his Mass taxes . . . so where are the tax returns, Myth?) :-)

Yea, cause Bush is in the Caymans guarding Mitt's millions.

Who said blank check? One example is many of the MILSATCOM programs that the president is cutting back on pentagon requests.

Maybe it is that "his adminstration will transparent" or "his adminstration will post every bill on line for 5 days" or his adminstraton will shut down Gitmo" or "his administration will not allow lobbyists to have access to the white house" or........................................................?

Kind of like I am with Obama after 4 years but Obama is a known while Romney isn't....just like
Obama was an unknown 4 years ago.

Next week we will prove Corporate $$ can't buy the Presidency!!!!

1) I would opt for the unknown, knowing what Barak have been doing in this country for the past 4 years.

2) Obama unknown is totally different... You don't know who he is... you don't know his past.

In that case people know Romney ALOT better.

Once you look into Obama's past, and what has happened in this country in the last 4 years, a person that wants us to suceed would change their vote to ...

Romney/Ryan 2012

Real change Romney? Jah! Unsere letze hoffnung, Romney! Nobody really knew the guy with the funny moustache in 1935 either.
