Before a crowd estimated at 24,000

President Obama rocked the house!

Obama/Biden 2012

We tested what works = Clinton policies. We know the failed Bush/Romney top-down policies DON'T work. Romney will take us back and create the same historic economic disaster.

We have a champion for the middle class in President Barack Obama.

President Obama has a plan and he has the numbers - Romney STILL won't even answer questions on those critical topics.

VOTE FOR OBAMA/BIDEN ......forward >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Is that all YOU have?

GO TELL FAUX it is not enough to give a phony, lying vulture BAIN Salesman Romney a win.

When your party has a definition of 'Truth' that doesn't keep shifting, let me know.

What I want to know is how a candidate Mitt Romney for The President of the United States can go 3 (THREE) Weeks without answering a questions from REPORTERS.

That's just NUTS. And they want me to TRUST him, VOTE for HIM. I don't think so.

At #1.7

Faux talking points? Old ones at that.

Why isn't GWB campaigning for Romney?

Romney says "We are still pretending that GWB term never existed".

Democrats remember.. set your clocks back 1 hour for daylight savings time.

Republicans remember... set your clocks back 1 century.

Obama/Biden 2012.

During Obama's 4 years as POTUS-

194,000 net jobs added

14.7 million food stamp recipients added

For every 1 job added, 75 food stamp recipients added

4 more years of this? Are you kidding?

GermanGem

5.2 MILLION jobs add.. while the GOP said no.

14.7 MILLION added because of failed GOP economic polices.. forgive dems for not wanting americans to starve while they look for jobs that were exported to china.

Return America back 4 years to the GOP failed policies? Are you kidding?

Updated for 11:00pm EST on Saturday, November 3, 2012:

*** Spoiler alert: Today Obama made substantial gains in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, and Iowa while seeing his margins fall in Wisconsin and New Hampshire; Romney improved his position in Florida.

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

Real Clear Politics (RCP) consistently has been the "go-to" source for accurate averaged daily polling data for both FOXNEWS and NBCNEWS. With less than 49 hours to go in the 2012 presidential campaign, RCP continues to report that Obama holds increasing leads in eight of their 11 toss-up states while Romney clings to smaller and more static leads in the remaining three.

In descending order of 'percentage of lead' in favor of Obama, followed in ascending order of 'percentage of lead' in favor of Romney, here are the published averaged numbers from RCP as of 11:00pm EST together with the most recent FiveThirtyEight election night probabilities of victory for either candidate:

In WISCONSIN, with 10 electoral votes, Obama's lead has fallen to 5.0%, down from 5.4% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 94.2% chance of victory here, up by 0.9% from Friday and by an astounding 8.5% since Tuesday.

In PENNSYLVANIA, with 20 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 4.8%, up from 4.6% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 96.6% chance of victory here, up by 0.5% from Friday and by a respectable 2.5% since Tuesday.

In MICHIGAN, with 16 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 4.0%, up from 3.5% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 98.6% chance of victory here, up 0.2% from Friday and by 0.5% since Tuesday.

In OHIO, with 18 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 2.9%, up from 2.6% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 83.8% chance of victory here, up by 3.1% from Friday and by an astonishing 10.5% since Tuesday.

In NEVADA, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 2.7%, up from 2.4% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 88.7% chance of victory here, up by 1.5% from Friday and by an astounding 9.0% since Tuesday.

In IOWA, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 2.5%, up from 2.0% on Saturday morning. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 80.7% chance of victory here, down interestingly by 0.9% from Friday but up overall by a substantial 6.8% since Tuesday.

In NEW HAMPSHIRE, with 4 electoral votes, Obama's lead has fallen to 1.5%, down from 1.8% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 80.4% chance of victory here, up by 1.7% from Friday and by an astonishing 10.1% since Tuesday.

In COLORADO, with 9 electoral votes, Obama's lead is holding at 1.0%, up from 0.9% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 67.9% chance of victory here, up by 2.2% from Friday and by an astronomical 12.5% since Tuesday.

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

In VIRGINIA, with 13 electoral votes, Romney's lead has fallen to 0.3%, down from 0.5% on Friday. Interestingly, FiveThirtyEight increased Obama's chance of victory here (and not Romney's) to 67.0%, up 2.2% from Friday.

In FLORIDA, with 29 electoral votes, Romney's lead has risen to 1.4%, up from 1.2% on Friday. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Romney a 54.8% chance of victory here, but this margin is actually down a stunning 9.9% from Tuesday.

It should be noted that RCP's average in Florida does appear to have been hyper-inflated by two recent outlier findings in favor of Romney, the first a 6.0% margin today from the unapologetically right-leaning Mason-Dixon Group with localized results for only the two cities of Tampa Bay (site of the 2012 RNC) and Miami (Marco Rubio stronghold), the second a 3.0% margin from Gravis Marketing, a polling firm funded in large part by BAIN Capital, and an appreciably older finding by The Sunshine State News, an ultra-conservative website/blog which had Romney leading by 5.0% on October 24. Minus the influences of these extreme outliers, Romney's true lead is likely well under 1.0% and quite possibly closer to that of dead heat. Ah, Florida....

In NORTH CAROLINA, with 15 electoral votes, Romney's lead is holding at 3.8%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Romney a 79.6% chance of victory here, down 0.3% from Friday.

So...

In order for Obama to win re-election the least complex route would be through maintaining his current lead in the five toss-up states where his existing margins are widest (Wisconsin at 5.0%, Pennsylvania at 4.8%, Michigan at 4.0%, Ohio at 2.9%, and Nevada at 2.7%). Doing so would bring his electoral vote total on Election Day to 271. In this scenario, Obama could still surpass 270 while failing to hold Iowa, New Hampshire, and Colorado.

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

Path #1: Obama loses Ohio but holds the remaining three states where he presently leads, New Hampshire, Iowa, and Colorado resulting in 272 electoral votes.

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

Interestingly, with Romney's lead having diminished significantly in Florida over the past two weeks and with Hurricane Sandy forcefully highlighting the stark contrast between the candidates regarding the value and necessity if not the mere existence of FEMA in a state which has perhaps the greatest dependence on federal storm relief efforts in the nation, a 3rd path has now emerged which could provide for some interesting election night television:

Path #3: Obama comes from behind to win Florida. This scenario would require only that Obama win the three states in which his present leads are widest (Wisconsin at 5.0%, Pennsylvania at 4.8%, and Michigan at 4.0%), resulting in 276 electoral votes.

For Romney to unseat Obama, he not only would have to hold the three states in which he presently leads, Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia bringing his electoral vote total to 248, but also steal victories in at least one of the following possible combinations from states currently leaning Obama, listed in descending order of likelihood based on the reverse engineering of current FiveThirtyEight numbers for election night chances of victory:

Path #1: 24.15% chance of Romney stealing both Ohio and Colorado, resulting in 275 electoral votes.

Path #2: 17.90% chance of Romney stealing both Ohio and New Hampshire, resulting in 270 electoral votes.

Path #3: 17.75% chance of Romney stealing both Pennsylvania and Colorado, resulting in 277 electoral votes.

Path #4: 11.50% chance of Romney stealing both Pennsylvania and New Hampshire, resulting in 272 electoral votes.

Working against each of these scenarios are rising averaged polling numbers over the past two days for Obama in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Colorado; in that same forty-eight hour period, only in New Hampshire has Romney succeeded in reducing Obama's margin, and that by a slight 0.3%.

Perhaps somewhat mystifyingly, the Romney campaign continues to make pronouncements alluding to their having embraced the "Pennsylvania Strategy" included in Paths 3 and 4 above, the two paths which have the least likely chances of victory.

So, is this a bold strategic maneuver on the part of Eric Fehrnstrom or a feint designed to counter Obama's anticipated re-allocation of campaign resources to a quantifiably softening political landscape in Florida? If the latter, based on published campaign schedules for key Democrat surrogates, it doesn't appear the Obama campaign is taking the bait.

In any event, should Romney fail to steal either Ohio or Pennsylvania he could overcome this shortfall by capturing the four other states in which Obama's current leads are smallest (Colorado at 1.0%, New Hampshire at 1.5%, Iowa at 2.5%, and Nevada at 2.7%) resulting in an electoral vote total of 273.

FiveThirtyEight this morning estimates the chance of Election Day victory for each candidate as follows: Obama 83.7% (up markedly from Friday morning's 80.9%) and Romney 16.3% (down markedly from Friday's 19.1%).

FiveThirtyEight now also projects that on Election Day the final electoral tally will be as follows: Obama 305 (up 6 from Wednesday's 299) and Romney 233 (down 6 from Wednesday's 239).

Lastly, although it makes no difference in terms of the final result which can only be determined by the Electoral College, FiveThirtyEight currently predicts a national popular vote distribution on Election Day as follows: Obama 50.6% (up from Thursday's 50.4%) and Romney 48.4% (down from Thursday's 48.6%).

With less than 49 hours of campaigning to go, and with Friday's published October jobs report playing to predictably mixed reviews (economy adding more jobs than expected; unemployment rate ticking up one tenth of one percent to 7.9%), holdout voters may now be left to nothing more than the proverbial 'feel in their gut' as Tuesday approaches.

Remember to change the clocks tonight (Spring forward, Fall back), mow the yard tomorrow, and re-stock the 7-layer dip on Monday for an exhilarating night of television on Tuesday!

President Obama's first term was greeted by the worst economic crisis in 60 years. In January 2009, we lost 800,000 jobs. GDP was at minus 8.9%. America lost 9 million jobs in the Great Recession. Unemployment went to 10% in October 2009.

Since then under President Obama:

Highest private sector employment since 2008.

5.5 million private sector jobs in 32 straight months.

Half a million manufacturing jobs - the plan is to double that.

Thanks to the President's help working with management and Labor in Auto to restrusture and re-invent the industry, American Auto is back on top.

The U.S. is projected to make the STRONGEST economic comeback of all the richest countries, including Canada, Germany and France.

MSNBCMFE

Cut & Paste often?

Outhouse - The dem Congress caused the job losses in 2008. Please give us the figures from 2006. The dems pleaded for our votes in 2006 so they could fix everything that was going bad. They sure F'd up didn't they? We gave them complete control of Congress in January 2007 and then gave them the White House too. Nothing has gone right since. The democrats have FAILED this country.

1/20/2013 - the end of an error

Obama's NET jobs Itsabouttime. 5 million jobs were LOST under Obama's watch.

Hey, what's the word for "people that vote are idiots"?

GermanGem

No.. 5.2 MILLION JOBS were added....after 800K jobs were lost per month during the failed GWB policies.

P.S. Why do republicans support a tax credit for american corporations that move jobs to other countries? I don't know about you, but I don't like paying more taxes so GOP cronies and corporations can pay less.

On Inauguration Day, January 2009, 15 GOP leaders pledged to obstruct the President's work to recover our economy.

PAUL RYAN WAS AT THAT TABLE - he conspired to block our recovery on that day, in the middle of a second Great Depression.

GOP carried out their mission. McConnell openly bragged about their plan to engineer gridlock. GOP filibustered at 3 times the pace ever seen in American history.

GOP blocked ALL Jobs Bills, including 2 million jobs in the President's American Jobs Act.

GOP blocked the Veterans Jobs Bill just a few weeks ago - in lockstep.

Still, our economic is projected to create 12 million jobs, under the policies laid down by President Obama.

Obama/Biden 2012 >>>>>>> it is a no-brainer.

GOP has no morality. They don't care about YOU.

Romney for President- he won't spend 4 years blaming the previous President.

Obama is gonna win!!! There is no way we can go back to the Bush era with Mittens/Munster ticket!!!! The President has shown leadership and guidance over the last 4 years, trying to clean up the 8 years of the Bush era....what a mess he left us!!!! No women in binders either!!!! No Eddie Munster look a like as VP!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN

Obama's old plan: spend, spend, spend

Obama's new plan: tax, tax, tax

Old talking points, not true, they are spending Billions, Billions, every month with bailout number 3, and forget about failed bailout number 2 , course we could blame the first one on Bush.

3 days after the first of this month how much was given to the banks again ? Bail out number 3 is the one that KEEPS Giving. But hay, why worry about that when soon enough complaining won't be allowed right, I mean remember 9/11 Benghazi them going after our first amendments by taking advantage of our lose of lives.

That's all old news right water under the bridge....

Vote Obama 2012 Cradle to the Grave ! Give me your rights Give me your Money !

Everybody I know blames GWB. Him and the policies written for the 0.01%, that shifted most of the money to them since Reagan. Thirty years of top-down = the Adelsons have been getting away with it for 30 years!

Thirty years of stealing jobs and sending them overseas, stealing taxes from working people to pay for unnecessary wars, and conning them into buying things they can't afford.

GWB put 2 wars, and handout to Big Pharma, and 2 tax cuts for the rich -- all on the credit card. Then GOP tries to point fingers at the next Democratic President. Standard procedure.

30yrs, forget Clinton ?, Big Pharma ?? Thought the housing market collapse did us in.. Who lifted restrictions on them again ?

Fine then, your right, Vote Bush out of office and put in Mittens, We all know Obama is just really Bush , i mean he says it all the time, Bush this , Bush that .. must mean he's Bush,

Bill Clinton......out on the campaign trail with Obama and yes we do love him

GW Bush.....secret closed "business" meeting in the Caymans.

Go figure.

Reagan/Ran/Friedman set it all in motion in the 1980's.

Eventually, we crashed and nearly crashed the whole globe.

Unfortunately, Europe didn't put a stimulus in place. They tried to cut and slash their way out. Now their unemployment figures are around 25% in many countries.

GOP watered down our Stimulus (the ARRA, for which every penny was tracked on-line), yet it still kicked in, and was saving a creating jobs within the year.

GermanGem- Where will Mitten's jobs be? Humm ..let's see Sensata- AMPED--oh that's right !! he wants to create 12 million jobs - but in CHINA

Hey...ItsAboutTime--- You want to know why "Dubya" isn't campaiging for Romney? Because the ENTIRE GOP know that he is absolute political POISION, and will be for quite a few years ! They were even leery about bringing Darth Vader out for ANY kind of comments, for fear it would damage the campaign. Karl Rove would have had a STROKE, if "Dubya's" name had even been mentioned! So... they've kept him hidden away from the public, except when they shipped him off in the dead of night, to the Cayman Islands no less, to give a speech to rich people, on how to cheat the U.S. Government, by hiding their money there! So you're damn right about the GOP still trying to pretend, that the 8 years of "Dubya" and Darth Vader never existed !!

Who will win?

The vacuous opportunist or the boardroom bully?

Either way I fear there is going to be an all out attack on Social Security, Medicare, etc. using the fabricated crisis of the "fiscal Cliff" to scare people into accepting it.

Corrrrection:

Reagan/Ayn Rand/Milton Friedman approach:

-Same thinking as Romney's denigrating "47%" moocher speech, caught on videotape.

-Same as Ryan's "30%" trasher-moocher speech, caught on audiotape.

To you right wingers here, does it not bother you in the least that:

After eight years of Republican rule (and lower taxes and less government), America was nearly bankrupted? And now you want to do the same thing again, only on steroids? Does this really make sense to you?

We are far, far better off than 4 years ago. We were losing at one point 800,000 jobs per month. Now we're gaining 170,000 per month....all in the private sector! Obama added more private sector jobs in his first term, despite where he started and despite republican obstructionism, than Bush did in eight years!

We are clearly on the mend. We are respected again in every corner of the world (well, except Pakistan), we have equal pay for equal work, that we finally have health care reform (just like in MA, once fully implemented not even the most extreme right wingers would even remotely consider to get rid of it), we have consumer protections and banking reforms (that will prevent another future crisis), we have a automotive industry back on top of the world, Bin Laden is no more, etc, etc, etc...

Most of all, does it not bother you at all that your party is making the most transparent effort in history to suppress voting rights? But yet they claim to be the "real" Americans. Is this what you want real America to be?

Beware of tyranny rapped in the flag...and most of all, in the bible and the book of Mormon.

Don't talk to me about coal mining, cos I know too much about it.

Murray forced miners to stand behind Romney. They were docked a day's pay, whether they supported him or not. Miners said they "knew what would happen" if they didn't do as they were told.

They were also told to donate to Romney. Coal owners have been screwing miners for years. Times are changing and miners know that.

Faux will try to spin it, but President Obama is NOT anti-coal miners. This President is investing in "clean coal" technologies -- and it remains to be seen if it can really be done in a cost effective way. We will see.

Miners don't want to suffocate our planet with carbon dioxide either - once they realize what is happening to our planet. Green jobs will come, and folks will re-train, and we will all be healthier for it.

It's about time

It's a NET 4.7 million when you add in the deletes from federal jobs lost. U-3 & U-6 include federal jobs in determining unemployment.

No more Bush doctrine.

The GOP so hoped that no one would remember the Bush years, they didn't even put him in front of the cameras at the convention.

Guess what, GOP. WE REMEMBER.

Jobs created under President Obama = 5.5 million net.

GOP governors strategically fired 700,000 public sector workers - and those figures are factored in, along with other job losses.

Yes folks, 700K public sector workers fired when we needed them the most. Other presidents, including GWB and Reagan, ADDED teachers jobs as a recovery strategy.

We have LESS federal workers now than there were under Reagan. And 100 million more people in the U.S.....go figure.

There's a lot of faux facts about President Obama. He has a smaller government population than Reagan.

JH-479998 -1/20/2013 - the end of an error

Why is it that all Republicans can say is plagiarized?

See, "end of an error" was what the Dems said about Bush in 2008. And it was FUNNY then, because that's how Bush said "era".

What you're doing now is like copying a joke - but forgetting the punchline.

So sad, too bad, GOP. You're hopeless.

zafada_dynamic its republican!

Sorry if you lost your job, but what you are saying about Ohioans is not true.

One in eight Ohioans are Auto workers. And they appreciate that President Obama supported the Auto restructuring and worked hard to put Auto back on its feet.

Chrysler is planning more jobs for the Toledo auto factory. Chrysler is NOT sending jobs overseas. Chrysler told Romney to knock off the lies many times -- that's how bad of a mess Romney is making.

Ohio auto workers KNOW who said "Let the Auto Industry Go Bankrupt". It was MITT BAIN ROMNEY, of the secret tax returns.

Cantaffordnomore now you areone of th 47% just like romney says dependent on the gov. support, will not take responsibility for your self, since you support him go get another job don't look for handouts.

Hey, GOP'ers.

Tell me - when was the last time the Democrats didn't invite a former President from their party to speak at the convention?

C'mon - just one example.

It's never happened in my memory - but since a lot of you are so old maybe you can come up with one?

Obama wants REVENGE. American's!! Obama wants REVENGE. He is the leader of the greatest country on earth and he is spouting the word REVENGE against his own people!!!!

If you vote Obama you deserve the cliff!

Real:

This nation has a hell of a lot more to worry about than an impeached past president showing up to a rally. "Youwho!!" Clinton, who all 17,000 wanted to see, is NOT running for re-election.

The fact that Obama, didn't even wait for the lights to go on in New Jersey, before calling REVENGE...is flat deplorable.

Get him out of office!!!!!

Romney/Ryan 2012

“We’re not just picking a president for the next four years,” Ryan told voters. “We are literally picking the trajectory of this country ... for at least a generation.”

For once, Ryan tells the truth.

Because the corporations who back the GOP ticket plan to put their Supreme Court justices in there for life.

Law enforcement counted Romney's crowd as half the number you quote. Faux likes exaggerate (polite term).

You are talking about Mitt Romney, who spent $5,000 in Wal-Mart, so he could have items on hand for folks to "donate" --- at his Sandy (convention) rally.

The guy has no core, no truth. He is stumping only for the 0.01%. His donor Adelson will gain $2.3 billion from Romney's tax cut. Any questions?

NBC dude

*** Spoiler alert: Today Obama made substantial gains in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, and Iowa while seeing his margins fall in Wisconsin and New Hampshire; Romney improved his position in Florida.

Can you say Susquhanna poll? Yes that's right, the only poll that really counts in PA other than election day. Romney and Obama are TIED at 47 each. Do you understand what an incumbent with 47% and challenger tied at 47 2 weeks away from election day means?

I do. Incumbent LOSES!

Do you understand what republicans having significanly more absentees than democrats in PA? I do. Republican state-wide wins.

Michigan was interesting. A recent poll required 35,000 phone calls to get 1122 participants. Do you know what that means? I do. People don't want to say who they are voting for a repbulican.

Ohio - Polling companies insist on using 2008 as what the turnout will be even though multiple sources say that the Democratic turnout is down 7 POINTS and the Republican turnout is up 5 - 7 points.

Florida, the Republicans were well ahead on the absentee voting, and the Democratic turnout was down 70%. Worse yet reports have surfaced saying the Republicans were winning the I-4 corridor. He who wins the I-4 corridor wins Florida.

Iowa - Reports are that the Republicans are in better shape than expected and see the possibility of getting this one in a photo finish. Don't think so immediately, because the democrats might have finished lower in early voting the numbers still look formidable.

Colorado. The only state where Repbulicans have a lead in the early voting. Big Surprise, now, will it hold up on Tuesday?

Backhouse:

Do some research on the attendance, there are photo's of the 30,000 sea of heads.

How about Obama, he didn't even give out batteries, milk, diapers, or cash. His charitable works are pathetic before and now.

No core...."psst...let's talk after the election." Give me a break!

Romney/Ryan 2012

DB Akron - Do you understand what an incumbent with 47% and challenger tied at 47 2 weeks away from election day means?

Geez, DB - can't you even update your cut-and-pastes more than once every 2 weeks?

I know you're used to dealing with people who don't really take the time to read, but if you're arguing with the left you need to work a little harder.

Most of us know that it's 3 DAYS to the election now - not 2 weeks.

CLINTON ENDORSES ROMNEY!

In an interview on June 28, 2012 with CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight," Clinton, a top Obama surrogate who is set to raise cash with the president next week, directly contradicted Democrats who have attacked Romney's business record, suggesting it does qualify him for president.

"I think he had a good business career," Clinton told guest host Harvey Weinstein, a movie mogul who is one of Obama's top fundraisers. "There's no question that in terms of getting up and going to the office and, you know, basically performing the essential functions of the office, the man who has been governor and had a sterling business career crosses the qualification threshold."

Adding that he has "friends" in the private equity business," Clinton suggested it was dangerous for Democrats to go after Romney's record at Bain Capital—adding that in private equity, "like everything else you try, you don't always succeed" in saving companies or making them more productive.

"I don't think that we ought to get into the position where we say this is bad work," Clinton said. "This is good work."

Thank you Bill Clinton, your endorsement proves Romney is the right choice for America.

Greed isn’t someone wanting to keep more of what they earn, its people demanding a greater share of money that someone else has earned.

I'll vote for anyone who will try to improve my standard of living ...without destroying someone else’s!

ROMNEY/RYAN 2012 FOR REAL AMERICANS©

NOTE: Liberals/Progressives remember to vote on November 7th.

Can'tAffordNoMore - the NON union GM workers And Delphi employees lost their PENSIONS!!!

Gee, what do you think will happen to non-union workers' pensions under Romney? He's a vulture capitalist who has made MILLIONS stealing workers pension funds for his own gain.

Did you ever stop to think that this is exactly why workers JOIN unions in the first place?

JimSpence - Interesting to see that you claim to have "invented" Real Americans (and that you believe you stand with us).

But since you've only been here since July of this year and I have been around since 2008, I believe that you owe me for copyright infringement.

Too bad your whole party has reverted to plagiarism, but then that's what you do when you have no ideas of your own to run on other than the word "NO"!

And I believe your final line counts as voter fraud. Imagine that!

Jim Spence -- Quit the BS. Clinton supports Obama.

This article is for you, written by Ronald Reagan’s budget director, Stockman. It’s long, but well worth the read, you might learn something. Even Stockman says Romney is no job creator. Here are some excerpts:

(Emphasis is mine.)

Mitt Romney: The Great Deformer

Oct 15, 2012 1:00 AM EDT

Is Romney really a job creator? Ronald Reagan’s budget director, David Stockman, takes a scalpel to the claims.

Bain Capital is a product of the Great Deformation. It has garnered fabulous winnings through leveraged speculation in financial markets that have been perverted and deformed by decades of money printing and Wall Street coddling by the Fed. So Bain’s billions of profits were not rewards for capitalist creation; they were mainly windfalls collected from gambling in markets that were rigged to rise....

Except Mitt Romney was not a businessman; he was a master financial speculator who bought, sold, flipped, and stripped businesses. He did not build enterprises the old-fashioned way—out of inspiration, perspiration, and a long slog in the free market fostering a new product, service, or process of production. Instead, he spent his 15 years raising debt in prodigious amounts on Wall Street so that Bain could purchase the pots and pans and castoffs of corporate America, leverage them to the hilt, gussy them up as reborn “roll-ups,” and then deliver them back to Wall Street for resale—the faster the better.

That is the modus operandi of the leveraged-buyout business, and in an honest free-market economy, there wouldn’t be much scope for it because it creates little of economic value. But we have a rigged system—a regime of crony capitalism—where the tax code heavily favors debt and capital gains, and the central bank purposefully enables rampant speculation by propping up the price of financial assets and battering down the cost of leveraged finance.

The Post's View

Mitt Romney's campaign insults voters

By Editorial Board, Updated: Friday, November 2, 12:34 PM

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 providedsufficient 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.

OK LIBBIES, LEMME AX YOU A SIMPLE QUESTION.

Why do you Liberals believe that raising taxes on cigarettes, energy consumption, carbon production and other bogeymen will affect changes to decrease those activities but you don’t believe the same will happen when personal and corporate taxes are increased on investment, savings or other growth behaviors?

I'll wait for your convoluted explanations.

Romney/Ryan for a Strong United States of America

I'm voting for Obama! I'm going to get free health care, if they don't put me in jail first, in which case I'll get free health care. The deficit was $10 trillion, now it's $16 trillion. Obviously the only option is to take that money from the rich (I'm not rich, so I'm not concerned). Only Obama is making money available for businesses to borrow so they can hire more workers. My job is secure. If I get laid off, no problem! I think I can handle 99 weeks of unemployment. And that's sure to motivate me to get a job after only 4 weeks. I've got an extra 2% of my paycheck in my pocketbook. Retirement is too far off so it's of no concern of mine if Social Security goes bankrupt. I'm sure that they'll just tax the rich more. Since my employer doesn't need the money that he's taken out of my pocket, he'll just pay more in taxes. Well, since he hates paying more in taxes, he'll just hire more people to avoid the additional taxes. YUP! The economy is terrific and I can just sit back and relax, finally!

First of all, you wouldn't have to pay cigarette taxes if you didn't smoke. BTW, I thought you Republicans preached pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps...if that's true, why are you waiting for someone to "improve your standard of living"? Hypocrite much?

Lastly, I've already voted for Obama/Biden and so have most of the people in my Charlotte Country Club neighborhood.

Dont_carry_it_all

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

You mean this David Stockman?

You Libbies need to get out more and research the drivel you spew.

Excerpt:

The overblown title of a new cover story from the moribund Newsweek magazine is “Mitt Romney: The Great Deformer.” The subtitle reads, “Is Romney really a job creator? Ronald Reagan’s budget director, David Stockman, takes a scalpel to the claims.” There you go again, Dave.

Shortly after Christmas 1980, then-congressman Stockman came to my office at the First National Bank of Chicago to recruit me to be the OMB’s chief economist in the new Reagan administration. (I later declined, and Larry Kudlow took the job.) I was surprised at the time that we were accompanied during the interview by a journalist, William Greider. Any young congressman who thought himself worthy of a personal biographer must have deserved what Greider ultimately delivered in The Education of David Stockman — a scandalous revelation of Stockman as deeply disloyal and arrogantly ignorant about economics. (Given that he is a divinity-school dropout, his economic ignorance is perhaps not surprising.)

Stockman ended his stint as Reagan’s budget director in 1985 with a posh Wall Street job and a $2 million advance for his book that claimed the Reagan revolution had failed. Hugh Sidey at Time called Stockman’s assessment in the book “the triumph of arrogance.” In his review, Sidey noted:

Stockman’s narrative about Reagan and his aides is at times so unintelligible (the President, he writes, “had no concrete program to dislocate and traumatize the here-and-now of American society”) and so stunningly self-centered (the Reagan revolution was not Reagan’s, “it was mine”) that it provokes a bit of perverse admiration. Surely this is a hoax.

Today, Stockman is reeling from a series of business failures and a $7.2 million fine to settle an SEC fraud case. His 25-room mansion in Greenwich, Conn. (at 19,963 square feet, it’s bigger than Mount Vernon and Monticello combined), went on the market for $19.5 million. So, he is peddling another “shocking” new book, doubtless as bigheaded and unintelligible as the first one. Hoping to fool people twice, he dropped this nasty chapter about Mitt Romney and Bain Capital into Newsweek, complete with the obligatory snide references to “the top 1 percent” (and to be in this elite group, you needn’t own a $19.5 million home; earning $350,000 will do it). To hear Stockman tell it, Romney’s success is “all about the utter unfairness of windfall riches.”

Fortunately, Newsweek promises to stop publishing by the end of the year. Unfortunately, that turns out to be too late to avoid this extra entry to their recent record as a forum for sensational, opinionated, partisan nonsense. Both Newsweek and David Stockman could have accepted their embarrassing failures with far more humility, dignity, and grace.

Stockman is just a frustrated economic wannabe, kinda like Barrack Hussein.

Here’s the link for the whole story:

You lobbies need to stop trying to demonize the real leaders in our great Republic otherwise you’ll be left with the faculty-lounge elitists like Barrack Hussein who have never even run a lemonade stand.

Well it appears that the taxpayer bailed-out Chrysler is looking back and now considering cutting costs by shifting production of all Jeeps to China, which has a strong desire for Jeeps.

In a Bloomberg interview, Jeep's president said the automaker plans to restore Jeep production in China, suspended in 2009, and is considering making all Jeeps in China. "Fiat SpA, majority owner of Chrysler Group LLC, plans to return Jeep output to China and may eventually make all of its models in that country, according to the head of both automakers' operations in the region," reported the business wire service.

Mike Manley, chief operating officer of Fiat and Chrysler in Asia and president of the Jeep brand, told Bloomberg, "We're reviewing the opportunities within existing capacity" as well as "should we be localizing the entire Jeep portfolio or some of the Jeep portfolio" to China.

Chrysler builds Jeep SUV models at plants in Michigan, Illinois and Ohio. Manley said the firm is in talks with China's Guangzhou Automobile Group Co.

Fiat SpA (F), majority owner of Chrysler Group LLC, plans to return Jeep output to China and may eventually make all of its models in that country, according to the head of both automakers’ operations in the region.

Fiat is in “very detailed conversations” with its Chinese partner, Guangzhou Automobile Group Co. (2238), about making Jeeps in the world’s largest auto market, said Mike Manley, chief operating officer of Fiat and Chrysler in Asia. Chrysler hasn’t built Jeeps there since before Fiat took control in 2009.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-21/fiat-says-china-may-build-all-jeep-models-as-suv-demand-climbs.html

In another potential blow for the president's Ohio reelection campaign, Jeep, the rugged brand President Obama once said symbolized American freedom, is considering giving up on the United States and shifting production to China.

Such a move would crash the economy in towns like Toledo, Ohio, where Jeeps are made and supplied, and rob the community of the economic security they thought Obama's auto bailout assured them.

http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2012/10/25/chrysler_alive_but_jeep_about_to_shift_production_to_china

Michigan, 22 Oct. (AKI/Bloomberg) - Italian car gian Fiat, which controls the Chrysler Group plans to return Jeep output to China and may eventually make all of its models in that country, according to the head of both automakers’ operations in the region.

Fiat is in “very detailed conversations” with its Chinese partner, Guangzhou Automobile Group Co. (2238), about making Jeeps in the world’s largest auto market, said Mike Manley, chief operating officer of Fiat and Chrysler in Asia.

Chrysler hasn’t built Jeeps there since before Fiat took control in 2009. “The volume opportunity for us is very significant,” Manley, who is also president of the Jeep brand, said in an interview at Chrysler’s Auburn Hills, Michigan, headquarters.

“We’re reviewing the opportunities within existing capacity” as well as “should we be localizing the entire Jeep portfolio or some of the Jeep portfolio.”

Chrysler, which entered an alliance with Turin, Italy-based Fiat as part of its US-government-backed bankruptcy, is relying on growth in China to counter weakness in Europe’s auto market. The carmaker is targeting 500,000 annual sales outside North America by 2014, more than triple its overseas deliveries in 2009.

JimSpence - Are you too lazy to do any research for yourself?

Or are you like Romney, with no regard for the truth even when you know you're lying?

From FactCheck.org:

Mitt Romney falsely claimed in a recent speech that “Jeep, now owned by the Italians, is thinking of moving all production to China.” Chrysler says it is considering adding Jeep production sites in China to address rising demand in that market. But the company says it is “a leap that would be difficult even for professional circus acrobats” to suggest that it would close U.S. facilities and move all operations to China.

Despite Chrysler’s admonition, Romney is now making a similar claim in a new TV ad.

Unfortunately for Romney, everyone knows it's a lie. Except, perhaps, people like yourself.

JH Is that all the dems have? A lying, cheating, womanizing, accused rapist, scum bag Bill Clinton?

Well Romney could have Buch JR well no he's in the Caymen islands how to off shore accounts

we know how that goes

To all the conservative bloggers and just plain crazy people voting for R/R. PT Barnum was right when he said there are suckers born every minute and you are suckers to believe your life will be better.

You have had more tax breaks brought to you by Democrats since 2006 to present and you will lose all those, you had more tax breaks during the Clinton era than any Republican President unless you made close to a million a year. Those Bush credits that most of you saw were in Capital Gains. The tax credits for 1st Home Buyers, Trade-ins for cars, education, child & EIC credits, How about Home Improvements, or Work Pay Credit of $400-800. Kiss that all goodbye, mortgage payments, and charitable (Though I am thinking most of the conservative nuts on this blog don't give to many charities), don't know that for sure.

One thing after Tuesday us liberals or libbies, or lets see, socialist, communist, what else have I been called by members of TP or yes progressives - damn right. I am a card-carrying Democrat and will always be one.

Believe what you want about Chrysler.

When it comes to international conglomerates like Fiat, I tend to believe the people with inside tracks to the truth. Fiat's revenues are suffering in Europe. They have no allegiance to keeping any production here. Of course the Chrysler guys here are going to protect their self interests. Don't be surprised if there are some major moves after the election.

It's actually none of our business anyway. We bailed Chrysler out with our tax dollars and Barrack Hussein sold them to a foreign corporation with controlling interest. Even you Libbies should be able to see the writing on the wall.

Has anyone else noticed that most of these ignorant, manipulative bloggers seems to come from the right wingers with a bad case of "trench- potty- mouth" mumble, jumble with nothing of any value to say (much less written clearly)???

Independent Thought (Post # 1.48)

To quote you:

"This nation has a hell of a lot more to worry about than an impeached past president showing up to a rally."

&

And to quote JH (Post # 1.6 )

"accused rapist, scum bag Bill Clinton ----- Let the country go to hell we just want to win."

What else (if anything) do the both you have in that empty head of yours besides, sawdust for brains and a trench mouth in your blogs????? Both of you need to go back to the primary school and learn how to read accurately. Then pick up some valid history books (besides your Trash Tabloid Magazines) to get your ignorant and manipulated facts straight.

First , to demonstrate your lack of knowledge and dishonesty honesty in the Post #1.48:

While your "Rethuglican" (spelling intended), crooked Nixon WAS sent on his merry way in disgrace, Clinton WAS NOT IMPEACHED. It was just another dirty trick of your saintly "Rethuglicans" trying to do their best as usual to stir up trouble, which proved to be a complete failure with the rest of Congress. Clinton left after the completion of BOTH TERMS and with a big surplus left in the budget, I might add. Clinton didn't start 2 unpaid for wars unlike your Gestapo Bush/Cheney did. Clinton didn't murder innocent people like Bush/Cheney did for a profit as-well-as to run our Country into a huge deficit and Recession. As for an adult consented affair, there are plenty of "Rethuglicans", who had their affairs, too. Clinton did apologize for his behavior, which is a heck of a lot better than Bush/Cheney, or Romnesia did. Oh, excuse me, Bush/Cheney PARDONED THEIR WAR CRIMES attached to a Bill just a few days before leaving office. How honorable of them!! So grow up little children!!

Secondly, to the American Traitor, "trench- potty -mouth" JH (Post #1.6), you are nothing more than an Unpatriotic, American Traitor when you say things like :“Let the country go to hell we just want to win." Now doesn't that sound just like Romnesia with his 47% comment at the Boca Raton, FL Fund raising dinner. Rethuglicans don't have the moral integrity to win an election honestly without the use of voter fraud, voter suppression, and 37 thousand ballots printed incorrectly to a particular FL neighborhood (thus, the word , "thug" is added to your Party's name). That lack of moral behavior with such trench like behavior deserves no respect. It is so typical of way too many Rethuglicans today. Finally, I might add that Clinton WAS NOT AN "ACCUSED RAPIST" (means to be found guilty of) as you so ignorantly claim. Obviously, you don't know the difference between "accused rapist" and "consenting adults". But I don't think explaining the difference to you, would do any good; because you are too blind to see the truth.

Who would ever have thought that our October Surprise would be Gov. Chris Christi, a Republican, who knows how to work with a Democrat, and doesn’t appear too bigoted to say: “Pres. Obama has done a good job, worked hard, stayed in contact all the time, and gave up campaigning to come to their aid”. And where was Romney? Why he stayed safe campaigning in Ohio and still has yet to visit the disaster areas. Now, doesn’t that sound just like Bush, who didn’t visit Louisiana until two weeks after Katrina?

Which man is BEST for ALL AMERICANS ??? IT’S YOUR CHOICE!!

1.) One, who practices true Christianity with concern and compassion for all; or one, who cares for the 2% and to Hell with the 47%

2.) One, who demonstrates clarity and calmness; or one, who uses “FEAR TACTICS” to create confusion?

3.) One that demonstrates morality and integrity; or one that demonstrates greed and concerns for the 2% wealthy elite while expressing that he doesn’t care about the 47%?

4.) One that shows respect the women and provide them with their choice of appropriate healthcare; or one that backs a candidate (Murdock), who claims RAPE and PREGNANCY are "GOD’S INTENTION" as-well-as a "GIFT FROM GOD", or one (Akin), who wants to legitimize (Akin) the rape of women and children?

5.) One, who clearly DOES NOT suffer from amnesia; or a CHAMELEON with changing colors on the hour by the hour depending on where he is and telling them what they want to hear in order to get their votes?

6.) One, who puts a NATIONAL DISASTER FIRST and CAMPAIGNING LAST as-well-as visiting the areas of calamity; or one lacking in personal character, whose main concern was to campaign in Ohio (a critical electoral State) on Tues. (as the storm still continues to wreak havoc) while doing this under the guise of helping the victims with the planned opportunity for a “POLITICAL PHOTO OP” as he packs a few boxes which the Red Cross has expressed donations be given in the form of money, since they know what is actually needed and can get it there faster?

7.) One, who has visited the storm area immediately; or one, who is too busy campaigning on the trail, and has yet to visit the disaster area?

8.) One, who demonstrates CHARACTER, HONESTY, and CONCERN for ALL; or one, who doesn’t care about the 47%, too busy attending expensive fund raising dinner events, and refuses to show his tax reports (when other candidates--to include Obama-- who has shown 10 or more tax reports)?

9.) One, who encourages investing in America; or one, with off shore accounts, and as the acting President for the Board of Trustees and Investment Member is currently sending a company, Asentia (not sure of spelling), overseas to China for sweat-shop wages (less than $1.00 per hr.)?

10.) One, who wants realistic benefits; or one, who wants to eliminate all entitlements, and replace some with vouchers to invest in often very unstable stock markets. If you lose with the investment, there goes your healthcare, because it’s your loss?

11.) One, who wants to reform the taxes, eliminate the loopholes, and make the wealthy elite pay more of their fair share of taxes; or one, who wants the wealthy to have even bigger tax breaks , because they need the money to hire workers, which they have not done during the Great Recession, but do have billions to spend on Campaign Ads ?

12. One , who believes in the right to vote; or one who condones Voters Suppression?

13. One, who believes in transparency and truth; or one, who continually runs away from the press by hiding or ignoring their questions presented 31 times?

14.) One, who realizes that the private sector cannot handle major catastrophes, and allows the Govt. to step in with aid; or one, who wants to privatize everything (so his companies overseas can take on the contracts for profit) and expects the private sector to handle everything on their own? (Can you just see NJ handling $50 B on their own now, or in the immediate future?)

15.) Real leadership that looks like ONE, who shows up and is out there with a National Disaster area while cutting through the “red tape” to get help moving sooner; or one, who is busy campaigning in Swing States while using the storm (during the storm) as a “Photo Op Event” under the guise of a “Disaster Relief Event” with canned goods when the Red Cross asked for cash or blood donations, since they know what is needed?

16.) Someone, who lives in this universe, or someone, who lives in a parallel universe with a gold self-serving spoon in his mouth?

17.) one, who realistically tries to provide the help where needed; or one, who professes, “YOU CAN”T PUT UP THE RICH ELITE ON THE TABLE; BUT YOU CAN PUT UP THE MEDICARE, MEDICAID, SS, and HEALTHCARE ON THE TABLE”. “Just Privatize everything with vouchers!!” ?

18.) The “OCT. SURPRISE” is one, who shows one more concern with the needs of our Country while placing campaigning last; or one, who is more concerned with his own needs by campaigning negatively in the “Swing States”, and not even visiting to take a closer look at the disaster areas??

19.) One who tries stabilize and to bring our Country together; or one, who "Flip-flops" hourly as Mitt does, which doesn’t help to stabilize our Country in hard economic times of distress, etc.?

Get out and vote like your job and life depend on the Right Choice! Don’t let the corporate bosses threaten, or intimidate you with a job loss if you don’t vote for the Republican Choice. Help take America back from the elitist control by pressuring for reforms!!

Vote a straight Democratic ticket across the Board!!

Vote Obama/Biden, who care for 100% of America !!

Who would ever have thought that our October Surprise would be Gov. Chris Christi, a Republican, who knows how to work with a Democrat, and doesn't appear too bigoted to say: "Pres. Obama has done a good job, worked hard, stayed in contact all the time, and gave up campaigning to come to their aid". Now that's the kind of effort and work we need to see in Congress, which has not happened with the "obstructionist Republicans". And where was Romney? Why he stayed safe campaigning in Ohio and still has yet to visit the disaster areas. Now, doesn't that sound just like Bush, who didn't visit Louisiana until two weeks after Katrina? Now that's the kind of effort and work we need to see in Congress, which has not happened with the obstructionist Republicans.

BILL CLINTON IS MY HERO TOO!!! (Definitely White House material!)

• The fatherly Matthew McConaughey is a Republican.

Good question asked here:

Romneyism

By now, in these last remaining days before the election of 2012, we have learned enough about the beliefs of the Republican presidential candidate to see them as a worldview all its own -- a kind of creed that explains Mitt Romney. Those who say he has no principles are selling him short.

Despite its contradictions and ellipses, Romneyism has an internal coherence. It is different from conservatism, because it does not intend to conserve or protect any particular institutions or values. It is also distinct from Republicanism, in that it is not rooted in traditional small-town American values, nationalism, or states' rights.

The ten guiding principles of Romneyism are:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Why isn't GWB campaigning for Romney?

Because Romney can do it on his own. Unlike the little biach Obama who needs to sniff Clinton's behind in order to get votes.

Romney, coming to Pennsylvania? Is that a joke?

He will be laughed out of the Keystone State. He's not winning Massachusetts, Michigan or Wisconsin!

Stay away, Romney. What makes you think we want you here, you mincing old fool?

Why don't you go mess with Texas.

• The fatherly Matthew McConaughey is a Republican.

Would that be the actor who finally decided to go ahead and marry his baby mama when she was pregnant with their third child? He's a real 'family values' type...

And he's a Republican? I always figured he wasn't too bright.

I don't know what's worse-Obama telling people to vote for "revenge",( although, it DOES tell me his own polling is not looking good. Remember his telling Latino voters in 2010 to vote to "punish" their "enemies"?).

I suspect there will be media silence on this. Such outrageous- in fact, racist- commentary would only get press if it came from someone on the right side of the aisle.

It used to be called voodoo economics. The give away to the rich with supposed trickle down effects has been shown to be complete bull$#!&. Romney's economic plan is just smoke and mirrors.

Here's what the non partisan Congressional Research Service has to say about cutting taxes to increase revenue. (Summary below)

Throughout the late-1940s and 1950s, the top marginal tax rate was typically above 90%; today it is 35%. Additionally, the top capital gains tax rate was 25% in the 1950s and 1960s, 35% in the 1970s; today it is 15%. The real GDP growth rate averaged 4.2% and real per capita GDP increased annually by 2.4% in the 1950s. In the 2000s, the average real GDP growth rate was 1.7% and real per capita GDP increased annually by less than 1%.

There is not conclusive evidence, however, to substantiate a clear relationship between the 65-year steady reduction in the top tax rates and economic growth. Analysis of such data suggests the reduction in the top tax rates have had little association with saving, investment, or productivity growth. However, the top tax rate reductions appear to be associated with the increasing concentration of income at the top of the income distribution.

The share of income accruing to the top 0.1% of U.S. families increased from 4.2% in 1945 to 12.3% by 2007 before falling to 9.2% due to the 2007-2009 recession. The evidence does not suggest necessarily a relationship between tax policy with regard to the top tax rates and the size of the economic pie, but there may be a relationship to how the economic pie is sliced.

Romney's whole economic platform is refuted by these findings, there is no way his tax cuts will bring the economy back. Senator Mitch McConnell (R) blocked the release of the Report. It surfaced again in the Nov 1 2012 New York Times.

no bj in nj:

Bill Maher is a comedian.

Romney is a joke.

Get it?

Nope.

What I DO get is that racist comments don't offend you IF they are made by somebody on your "side".

Pity for you. I wouldn't have a racist ON my "side". Selective racism- how very progressive.

"And each candidate argued he was the one who could break through the gridlock in a Congress beset for the past two years by bitter partisan fights."

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.

And as we speak Romneys vulture business Bain Capitol which he is still a huge shareholder is dismantling and shipping American jobs from a profitable U.S. company(Sensata) to China. Romney is the most ruthless and despicable type of business man in our country and the right wants him to be our president. I hope all you conservatives are willing to move to China if you still want your job.

On the day before an election that's supposed to hinge on jobs, taxes and the middle class, Bain Capital, the company Mitt Romney founded, will close the doors of a factory in Freeport, Illinois, and ship 170 good, high-tech jobs to China.

The employees of Sensata Technologies were forced to train their Chinese replacements, and the American flag that long flew over the factory was reportedly removed while the Chinese engineers were visiting the site. A group of workers have set up camp across from the factory -- calling it “Bainport” -- and some supporters have tried to block the trucks hauling equipment out of the plant. According to Dave Johnson, there have been several arrests.

Sensata workers have asked to meet with Mitt Romney and hoped to enlist his help keeping their jobs in the United States, but he has refused, instead remaining on the campaign trail where he speaks often about “getting tough” with China.

The most important part of the story is that Sensata Technologies is profitable operating in Illinois. Net income last year was $355 million, up 16 percent from 2010. The company reported total revenues of $1.8 billion in 2011, up almost 19 percent from the year before. According to a company financial statement, “both 2011 net revenue and adjusted net income represent record levels for the company.”

So this has nothing to do with “making hard choices” in the process of turning around a failing business, which is how the Romney campaign describes Bain's corporate raiding. Bain's partners are looking for a modest boost in profits by locating the plant closer to the booming Asian automotive market (Sensata makes high-tech automotive parts). They'll get a small tax break for relocating the plant – the one Mitt Romney insisted did not exist during the first debate – and possibly defer taxes on some of the income the company generates.

Better gridlock than what Romney will bring. see #1.89

His economic plan is to loot the country for the rich and everyone else... you're on your own.

Romney embodies the current motto of the Republican party: All for ME, and FU.

I wouldn't have a racist ON my "side".

Then you cannot be a supporter of the GOP. Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter and their ilk have no problem promoting racism.

Whom do you support?

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

More GOP delusion! Whatever makes you think Democrats would be willing to work alongside Romney to dismantle this country????

Romney is an idiot, in case you hadn't noticed. Look at his brand of diplomacy on his overseas trip this past summer where he insulted half the world. He didn't stop there: Spain and Greece were insulted by Romney in the debates.

Rest easy. The Democrats will handle the mess Bush made. we always get stuck being the clean up crew for the GOP.

You Liberals had four years of this President and still want four more. Haven't you seen around you? Thins are get worst by the minute. Do feel good if gas price jump to $10.00 as in Europe. Don't forget when you think Socialist the money to take care of you needs to come out of somebody pocket. The Government could only print money but they don't produce money. You Guys are a bunch of idiots. But don't worry Obama will win big he is the chosen one. The one that will Promote Th New World Order.

Who is running for president, Clinton or Obama? I don't like Clinton, but, I would vote for him over Obama any time. Obama is not Clinton. No matter what Clinton says, he cannot prop up Obama for the next four years, and he knows it. Clinton is only helping Obama, not because he loves him, but if Obama gets re-elected it would help Hillary Clinton in 2016. Instead of Hillary, I would prefer Obama to run for a third term, because after four more years the democrats wouldn't have a chance in hell.

Guess Clinton has totally lost his mind since he is supporting the very same person who threw his wife under the Benghazi bus. But then, Clinton has historically been just as much a liar as the current Prez. ("I did not have sexual relations with that woman.") Which bring me to the real point. Any person who votes for Obama is saying the Benghazi cover-up is OK and it is perfectly alright for the Obama to continue to lie. It doesn't say much for the state of ethics and morality in America. I will never accept the lack of action by our govt. in this tragedy "OK." In the least, the actions were criminal, by some other accounts, treasonous. I will never vote for anyone involved in this tragedy.

Romney/Ryan, the only choice for America

(BTW, the number of those attending Romney events are not "estimated." Tickets were issued, and checked when going through security, so the numbers are true. Even in my own, rural portion of Ohio, 8500 showed up to a Romney event when the pre-event estimate was 1000 would attend. This was going on all over Ohio, yet the Media just couldn't bring themselves to report the truth.)

The GOP and the Koch Brothers blocked everything for 4 years....

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/13/AR2010071305391.htmlhttp://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE68B1SH20100913

I'll vote for anyone who will try to improve my standard of living ...without destroying someone else’s!

ROMNEY/RYAN 2012 FOR REAL AMERICANS©

Then you are voting in the wrong country if you are including Romney in that line. Does China have a public voting?

It's funny how republicans like to act like everything was hunky dorey right up until 2006 and everything went to hell in a hand basket as soon as the democrats took over the house. It took them from 2003 to 2006 to even acknowledge the economy was in a deep dive, "recession", and unless the bill was republican spnosored after 2006, Bush vetoed every single bill that came across his desk.

By this time, Romney had already used tax payers money to bail out his so called, "successful", Olympics venture and he had already profited not only off his company that destroyed fetal as well as other hazardous waste materials, but from destroying people's lives he dealt with and sold off their jobs overseas for profit. The republicans already had us over a cliff even before 2006 and have completely fought off every attempt to resuscitate this nation and undo the damn mess they made and now not only do they pretend like they had nothing to do with making the economical mess, but that they know how to fix it.

BO do you like preaching to the choir? Anytime I see one of your accumulated posts with all your compiled trash, I move on... Oh.. what does BO stand for? Body Odor?

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

[[Perjury is also against U.S. Law. You would do poorly to seek counsel from Mr. W.J.
Clinton on the application of these laws.]]

Now the democrats are going to vote "Revenge." What ever happened to voting for what you believe in... Obama promoting revenge... how presidential. Liberals won't see it though... they think everything that comes out of the mouth of Obama is prophetic.

Revenge.... Is this what's come of America? A sitting president telling people to vote out of revenge. Revenge for what? Is it because his feelings are hurt because he's fighting for his political life? Revenge on whom? If Obama can tell people to vote for revenge... what else can he revenge? If he wins, will he send out troops to gather anyone up that didn't vote for him? Send those people to prison... and or just outright shoot them down in the streets?

Revenge has a strange way of playing out... especially in the mind of a narcissist.

Obama says vote for revenge. Let's break that down and try to figure out who he is talking to. One, is it Muslims who think we are propping up Israel so they cannot destroy her? Well Obama has worked hard to put the Muslim brotherhood into power in more countries!

Is it to people who have rode a trillion dollar welfare budget that Lyndon Johnston started? People who then bred like House flies and never seemed able to leave the Government tit , becoming more and more dependent on it!

Is it people of color who the Democrat's have tried to indoctrinated into thinking that somebody someplace owes them something!

Is it the people who are jealous of anyone who has more then they do? Who would do anything but work harder to take what someone else has earned.

Apparently Obama would be your man! But, what is going to happen after you help kill the Goose that lays the golden egg? Are you then going to step up and make up the difference in what they were paying? Are you going to give up the Government tit and make your own way? I think what is happening in Greece shows us different!

Then, after you have had your supposedly revenge, will it become our turn for revenge and how will we make you pay? Either way, your way of life will be over!

Obama was president and the Democrat's controlled both hoses of Congress and the only thing he accomplished was to lie his Obama care through Congress! We now know the difference thanks to the Supreme Court!The Liberals cheered the lie that made it possible! This is not a tax says Obama! The only way Obamacare is legal is as a tax said the Court! Whoopee yelled the Liberals. Our lie worked, what a great accomplishment!

Get it straight, Obama had both Houses for two years and could have passed anything but a budget! He could have addressed anything he wanted!

I guess the only thing that concerned him was Obama care and putting more Muslim extremest in power in the Middle East!

So now it's for revenge eh President Obama?

You suck. You don't know how much you suck.

NEWS JUST IN, Finality the IRS is going to start Investigating Romney's Tax Returns, it's about time !!!!!!!!!!

Please source that. Its hard to believe it otherwise.

Two huge benefits of Nov 6. President Obama is re-elected and Jim Spence will finally STFU!

Bill Clinton campaigning for the Democratic platform of womens rights and birth control? What a joke! Now everybody can understand why they say every American women needs protection.

Mario:

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Would this apply to Romney too? In the United States, we not only have freedom of religion, we also have freedom FROM religion.

Are you an immigrant from Canada? I ask that because of your spelling of neighbor. Don't get me wrong, I like Canada. Especially their right to health care no matter who you are.

Mr. American -

Mr. Rednawt -

My main messsage was/is "You would do poorly to seek counsel from Mr. W.J. Clinton on the application of these laws."

Yes, posibly but the same could be said of the lying romney/ryan.

This tells me we either have a lot of ignorant people here or they are being paid to make these comments about how precious Obama is. Probably like what occured in Indaiana, paid democrats for forgery. And that is what I mean, no one with any brains would forge names to get another ( a hater and traitor to Americans)on the Ballot. This was done and he got on. For this alone he should be impeached. He is the worst President we ever had, he lies with his every breath. He left good people to get killed and took forever to tell the Navy Seals to to go ahead with their mission. Which could have cost us the lives of truly good Americans. I have prayed continually that God will see this election puts the right man in office. I ask all believers to pray hard. To keep America safe and back on the road to recovery. That is what the country was started over. Get out and vote America, and get rid of the slime in Washington. There are decent Democrats in governement . And they will be the deciding count.

READING down to here I see some of the DUMBEST,STUPIDEST comments ever---BRAIN-CRAPPED is the TERM for anyone who votes for the "ARAB" in our WHITE HOUSE----GOT THAT--ARAB-MUSLIME----

My Name is African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. He is the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya , his father's family was mainly Arabs.. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro). Go to:

ADD to the above the fact that CLINTOON was IMPEACHED ---

The OBAMA depends on a CLINTOON to assist him in KEEPING his CROWN ---a CROWN of failure upon FAILURE. HERE'S a LITTLE tid bit about BILLY BOOB----

Former President Bill Clinton was suspended from practicing law in
Arkansas and paid a $250,000 fine as a result of the Monica Lewinski
incident.

He also paid a $850,000 settlement over the Paula Jones incident.

He was also disbarred from practicing law in front of the Supreme Court.

So, if I understand correctly, Bill Clinton, a disbarred lawyer, a
President who was impeached for lying under oath, is now asking the
American people to believe him when he says the best thing for the country is four
more years of Obama.

Just wanted to make sure.......that I had that right!!.

ROFLMFAO---TWO of the BIGGEST LIARS,THIEVES and CORRUPT PEOPLE who EVER were in OUR WHITE HOUSE!!!

ONE AND DONE---BURNED BLACK TOAST---TIME to SHIP the LIAR OUT and BACK TO AFRICA!

CLINTON ENDORSES ROMNEY!

In an interview on June 28, 2012 with CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight," Clinton, a top Obama surrogate who is set to raise cash with the president next week, directly contradicted Democrats who have attacked Romney's business record, suggesting it does qualify him for president.

"I think he had a good business career," Clinton told guest host Harvey Weinstein, a movie mogul who is one of Obama's top fundraisers. "There's no question that in terms of getting up and going to the office and, you know, basically performing the essential functions of the office, the man who has been governor and had a sterling business career crosses the qualification threshold."

Adding that he has "friends" in the private equity business," Clinton suggested it was dangerous for Democrats to go after Romney's record at Bain Capital—adding that in private equity, "like everything else you try, you don't always succeed" in saving companies or making them more productive.

"I don't think that we ought to get into the position where we say this is bad work," Clinton said. "This is good work."

Thank you Bill Clinton, your endorsement proves Romney is the right choice for America.

Greed isn’t someone wanting to keep more of what they earn, its people demanding a greater share of money that someone else has earned.

I'll vote for anyone who will try to improve my standard of living ...without destroying someone else’s!

Mr. Rednawt -

Others might call him a liar, but not me.

If you wish to call someone a liar be specific and source your material.

Unsubstantiated charges are contrary to the spirit of Newsvine.

You know Mr. Mario, I will just let Mr. Romney be specific in his own words from his own mouth. It is easier to do that than to list endless sources. Please, everyone else, I ask everyone to go to this link:

Mr. Mario, just click on the videos. You will hear Mr. Romney's positions from his own mouth. Now, this could just be flip-flopping. My mother has always told me that no matter what, if you tell half a story, it is lying. If you say one thing to one person, a completely different thing to another, it is lying. It is baring false witness. Now, one could change his mind, but when one does, he/she has to point out what information made that change, otherwise it is lying. Here is the link again for you.

T. W. Anderson, hence my moniker rednawt, T W Ander backwards.

Mr. Rednawt -

Accusations without specificity are useless. Be clear or drop the unfounded accusations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies.

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

How much clearer can anyone be when I took you right to the source? Mr. Romney himself, in his own words, delivered by him. I feel you just refuse to listen to your man. There is nothing more to do but to wait until Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. If you can vote, vote for whoever you want. If you can't vote convince those who can to vote. You write like you are a Canadian citizen so I have no idea if you are legal to vote or not.

T W Anderson

Will Haas, The tp/gop declared on inaugeration night and again two years later to do anything to block anything the president trys to make him a one term president no matter how much damage it does to the United States or world. That promise was kept until Tuesday. President Obama will be a two term president.

He has given the gop 87% of what they wanted. That is more than being bi-partisan. The tp/gop wants 100%. That isn't going to happen. Bi-partisanship is a two way street.

hengburger & willowbrook: If you really pay attention to the things Clinton has said about Obama, it has become very clear that his support is actually riddled with insults. Those who understand Obama understand that he is trying to destroy this country. How else do you explain the centerpiece of his economic plan, which was the stimulus bill to fund "shovel ready" jobs. $1 trillion dollars later he had the galls to joke that "well, I guess those jobs weren't so shovel ready after all." Anyway, in Clinton's ad supporting Obama he actually tells the country that Obama is in fact trying to destroy this country. He said "...Obama has a plan to rebuild American from the ground up..." Anyone familiar with the term "rebuild" understands that the first course of action in rebuilding is destroying what is there. And, remember that Clinton is very particular about the words he uses. After all, "it all depends on what the definition of 'is' is." You'd have to be very ignorant to think that the use of the term "rebuild" was accidental. There are numerous quips where Clinton has taken digs at Obama, or at least exposed him for who he is.

wow witchrunner, that is really a stretch.

Mr. Rednawt -

You are making an unbelievable stretch by accusing anyone of lying. You offer no proof of you accusations.

Back off and point that darned thing in another direction!

OK, you accuse President Obama of lying, right? I offered you proof of Romney's flip-flopping. So, if he isn't lying, he has NO core. Did you view those videos? If you did, nothing else to say to you. You would believe anything that man says, even though he changes his positions faster than he can get to his next rally. If you didn't, I strongly suggest you to. But since I believe you are Canadian, it doesn't matter anyways since you can't vote anyways. If you are not Canadian, you copied and pasted your original comment.

Mr. Rednawt -

My main messsage was/is "You would do poorly to seek counsel from Mr. W.J. Clinton on the application of these laws."

Not what you said.

CoH says do not put words in another's mouth.

OK, so the same could be said about seeking any truth from Romney. President Clinton is just campaigning for the president. He has his base and his only job in the last few weeks was to fire up his base for the president. Nothing more, nothing less. He had made amends for his personal failings.

Mr. Clinton has made no amends for his perjuries in court. He still is in denial.

JimSpence and everyone else who keeps calling the people who voted for Obama "too stupid" to look things up. Here's a reality check for your blinders:

The main reasons why I as an independent did NOT vote for Romney:
1: The man has flip flopped on half of his positions since going into office. While he's successful at saving Money, he cuts things that shouldn't be cut to do it. He's a smooth talker and nothing more.

2: I am not especially enamored of the President, and I cringe at the congress we have now. However in this case I see it as the lesser of two evils. Obama had a plan, Romney had anecdotes.

3: Trust me, Obama and democrats are on trial for the next 4 years for me.

Finally, I find the insult Barack Hussein extremely disturbing, in case its not clear to you his name is Barack Obama, he has never committed deliberate widescale genocide. Don't Call him that again.

I expected more out of the Obamacare initative. But somehow republicans are to blame for the one thing I wanted out of it: Capped premiums.

So kindly wander off to that make believe world you live in.

It's time for change Obama failed miserably.

It's time for change

It sure is. Time to vote out the out the Republican obstructionists.

Romney is a liar. Pure and simple.

Dont_carry_anyhting - you might lean too far forward

Harry Reid is a democrat. He is the biggest obstructionist we have in American politics today.

JH -- You wrote:

Coming from someone who supports knuckle dragging Neanderthals, that's pretty funny.

I walk upright JH, you should try it sometime.

FORWARD to bankruptcy and chaos. The welfare State is over folks. There is not enough money in the USA to pay for obama's $1.3Trillion deficit welfare government. The dirty secret is the Progressive Democrats will destroy Social Security and Medicare. All the rest is WELFARE. All obamacare is, is government regulated MEDICAID for everyone. So, all of us who have worked and paid into the system all our lives, get to stand in line with all the bums, drug addicts and welfare queens with all their brats while obama and his elites, like Stalin and the Commissars, get all the perks. Thats all that Marxist Statism is. The funny thing is we will not permit it. Romney can try to fix it but folks, it is too late. Be prepared.

OBAMA/BIDEN!!!!! No Mittens/Munster!!!

With Bail out number 3 in full swing, and the banks getting more Free money, Obama is thinkking his odds of winning might just pay off. After all Americans are to stupid to look up stuff on there own and buy the main stream media hook line and sinker !

Benghazi and Youtubegate, Obama at the UN stump talking about our Freedom of speech needs limits so we don't offend ??

Fast and Furious , Obama at the stump talking with Mexico's President, saying out 2nd amendment rights need to be taken...

Obama 2012 Cradle to the Grave ! Give me your Money , Give me your Freedoms !

Help him finish taking what he started, Help him Finish America !

You have no thoughts. Chant all you want. It will get you nothing anymore. All you progressives have is the idea that government owes you something. It does not. It will be a very hard reality for you in the end. We are not all in this together anymore. I do not think you see the danger in bankrupting the government. Not only will our security suffer but so will the poor and unprepared. Remember, I do not share with others anymore. You have sucked the well dry.

You are funny Paul from NM.........it was the bankers and stock brokers who sucked this country dry. Tell the truth.

Obama/Biden for the people and Forward we are going!!

Believe what you want Ms. Sullivan. It was over regulation and forcing banks to loan to poor people under threat of discrimination law suits that brought on the housing bubble and collapse and the financial crisis. Mostly backed by liberal Democrats and socialists, the regulations, high taxes on business, regulations on industry, energy and small business, and only 50% of the population paying 90% of the taxes has made recovery from this government induced recession/depression almost impossible. 25% of GDP is now taken and wasted by just the Federal government. Your only solution is more of the same. Bush did it too and he was an idiot his last term. Bailouts and printing money only prolongs the inevitable collapse. Honestly, we have to cut $1 trillion a year in spending at once to even get ahead of the curve. Romney can't stop it because he will not do that either. The country will survive. The government will be forced to change. No more welfare.

Everyone needs to watch 60 minutes tommorrow see where our real trouble is Reid and Mcconnel will be on together.

paul it was less regulation that let them make all those loans and money was made by wall street .

Paul from NM -

But Mitt seems to think there's plenty of money to pay for 100 new warships.

The last one the U.S. bought cost $7 billion.

Personally, I'd rather keep my Medicare than have another 100 shiny, useless warships, wouldn't you?

Real:

If there isn't a plan, and by the way Obama has NONE, you could only wish for a warship, because your medicare will be long gone...or...only the medical hacks will take you as a patient.

Romney/Ryan 2012

I call Obamacare a "plan".

Where's Mitt's?

Romney's plan for anyone who can't afford insurance is called the use the EMERGENCY ROOM plan.

Real:

Medicare is a disaster. You call Obamacare a plan to deal with medicare?

No matter what Romney and Ryan do, it won't be slammed down your throat in the dead of night, I can guarantee you that!

Romney/Ryan 2012

Don't:

Guess what #1, here in California, I wish the emergency room was free for me? It is only free (affordable) for the illegals.

Medicare has not been dealt with, and you are silly to think ObamaCare is the "plan."

Guess what #2, we own recruiting companies, and firms tell us, "If Obamacare is passed, we are going to 2 - 20 hour employees instead of 1-40 hour worker. Ha. No-one is entitled to a health benefit nor a job.

Romney/Ryan 2012 for a Strong America

Independent -- I'm well aware that ObamaCare / ACA is not perfect. It's a start. Republicans refused to even acknowledge there was a problem with lack of healthcare/insurance until the Democrats began to address the problems.

Using the emergency room for care is not free. It costs everyone who has insurance or pays cash an additional $1000 per year.

Under Obama Medicare will also be tweaked to make it more solvent. The problem with Medicare is it's underfunded. That tax to pay for that coverage hasn't been increased in decades, yet healthcare costs have sky rocketed in those decades.

If Mitt Romney is so worried about Medicare's solvency, why does he not pay any Medicare tax himself?

Obama does.

Don't:

Do you live in California? Illegals pay zero in the ER! They pay zero when they produce an anchor baby too. For me, I pay a $100 per visit, plus $5000 grand before a bill is even partially covered.

There will be push back with ObamaCare either via less hiring or less jobs. No-one is entitled to a health benefit nor a job. It is the "fat" in ObamaCare that is the concern, the stuff that slipped through without public awareness. Sneaky is a mild term.

We have Kaiser in California which is a great care option, but not run by the government. It would be a much better plan and affordable, without the "fat."

Real:

For God flipping sake. Let me give you the kindergarten version.

If you sell a company or several in Romney's case, you will pay huge taxes after the sale (around 50%). I know as this happened to me. The balance of monies are then placed in accounts (i.e. savings) that churns off dividends or interest (you have this too, even if you have a $100 bucks in an account).

Given, you have already paid taxes on the original lump sum, all you pay is the capital gains tax of 15% on the interest earned. Most company savings accounts, reinvest the dividends so annually you may not pay it. Romney's was probably 13%, due to some losses on the books.

Try it, work hard, create a company or two, work hard 24/7, sell then for 100,000,000, pay 50,000,000 in taxes, then save the other 50,000,000 invest it and pay taxes again on its interest.

Romney/Ryan 2012

BS, Independent.

Romney NEVER paid personal income taxes on the money he got from Bain Capital.

Try looking up "carried interest".

It's a loophole the Republican Congress passed during the Bush years that allows investment bankers and vulture capitalists to declare their wages as "capital gains" from the get-go.

They don't earn the money, pay regular tax rates and then reinvest. They get their gross wages as "carried interest", which is taxed at a 15% tax rate AFTER all their deductions, loopholes and exemptions.

It would be the same as you or me getting our gross paycheck (with no deductions) deposited to our bank account, using it to pay all our bills and then paying the government 15% on whatever is left over.

And NO Social Security or Medicare taxes.

You're being scammed, and you don't even know it.

Real:

You are talking "wages," not selling companies.

These are the same earning loopholes that Mr. Obama flies into town to collect on a weekly basis, right here in San Francisco.

Why aren't you whining there? Obama never mentioned closing the loopholes, Romney did.

Romney/Ryan 2012

Obama has never taken his earnings as "carried interest".

Romney got $21.6 million in deferred compensation from Bain in 2010 and another $14.6 million in 2011.

All declared as "counted interest" and paid at a 15% rate - AFTER his deduction for his wife's dancing horse, his multiple homes' mortgage interest, and the $100 million he has transferred TAX FREE to his sons' trust funds.

Romney's a thief. Pure and simple. A legal one, perhaps. But we'll never know, will we? Since he has refused to show his 2009 tax return, and that just happens to be the year the IRS gave amnesty to all the overseas tax cheats.

And, yeah, Romney "mentioned" closing loopholes.

He also "mentioned" that he wouldn't name a single one he would close.

You have to wait until after the election for that.

Sucker.

Real:

Did you have the balls to work your ass off, 24/7, by taking risks to get in the same position, to have the opportunity to cheat the government? Cause, guess what that's what it takes to be a legal thief, in your words!

Perhaps, sour grapes Real? Looks like you need to get up, have a dream and move your body as much as your lips. This is America, Real, you can do it!

Romney/Ryan 2012

Real:

But, but, what loopholes is Obama closing? Oh none of those big San Francisco legal thieves he visits on a weekly basis? No whining there, now let's play fair.

Romney/Ryan 2012

If I could choose anyone to campaign with Me it would be Bill Clinton too. I'll BET HE'S GETTING SOME NOOKIE OUT THERE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL!!! He's my Hero!!!

Now this sounds like some form of Obama bashing, and sounds like your calling our president unamerican as well....

What money did the president steal, and what freedom of yours did he take.... Just wondering....

Correct me if i'm wrong, but please feel free to name off any president which didn't have to bail out big banks in our countries past....

I see the Nation going to crumble, Your Liberty lost, Your relation with God lost, People like you, the Liberals and the President has turn their back on God and on his People The Jews. But that shouldn't bother you because most of you hate Jews anyway. You will see this Nation with more tragedy and blaming it on climate changing. The end of the road is near Obama will sign a treaty that is non reversible and it will be the beginning of the end. Obama will win with 53% of the votes.

Mackenzie Allen in 2012 !!!

Two Republicans know what's best for America, Bloomberg & Powell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Independent:

Try it, work hard, create a company or two, work hard 24/7, sell then for 100,000,000, pay 50,000,000 in taxes, then save the other 50,000,000 invest it and pay taxes again on its interest.

In this example, how much of the $100 million was initial investment? Wouldn't you have to deduct that initial investment first? Just to keep it simple like you are trying to pass off? In other words, you invested say $50 million, grew the company to $100 million and then sold it for the $100 million wouldn't your 50% tax then be more like $25 million, which you would carry that profit over in interest baring accounts and the be taxed at the 15% rate? Or wouldn't the $50 million profit be considered capital gains in which you would only be paying the 15% on the $50 million profit? Seems to me the latter would be closer to the truth. Now, say you made profit in this company. That profit would be taxed at the 35% rate, right? Before credits and other deductions. What would the effective rate be? 20% or less?

Just questions because I think your example really needs explanation.

You have it backwards its Obama that can't work with congress. It's easier to replace the one bad seed then all of congress.

Bull. The Republicans decided from day one they would obstruct and oppose the President at every turn. They held the economy and the American people hostage to their only agenda--to try to make the Obama presidency a 'failed' presidency so they could steal another election.

Vote every obstructionist, Koch-sucking, treasonous Republican out. They're not Americans. They're traitors.

That is pure rubbish Box Lunch.......they NEVER intended to work with the President from the moment Obama won till they had their secret meeting during his swearing in ceremony. The GOP vowed to bring him down. We are not going to let that happen, just like in 1996 when we turned out for Clinton after you all tried to destroy him......

@BOX LUNCH--UH NO!! 300 and some odd filibusters-- The REPS in the HOUSE decided to have what is called the "perpetual filibuster"-- especially Republicans since Obama became President – is, "an affront to our democracy, and not the way the Senate was supposed to work." Citing a previous Supreme Court decision ruling that the Senate's rules cannot conflict with the Constitution – Common Cause's lawsuit alleges that the Constitution ONLY calls for a super-majority requirement in special cases like overriding a Presidential veto or ratifying a treaty – and does not require a super-majority to begin debate, approve judges, or pass routine legislation - as it's used today. Several Members of Congress are plaintiffs in the lawsuit. For the last few years, Republicans in the Senate, led by Mitch McConnell – who boasted that his number one goal is NOT to create jobs for Americans but instead to put President Obama out of a job – have shut down an entire branch of government by abusing the filibuster. This is not what democracy what looks like. Do your homework , please

Just saw the President's motorcade roll past me on I-66 after coming home from a black tie dinner...what a site...I'm proud of his accomplishments....people failed to realize he started from a negative 800,000 per month job loss to a 171,000 per month job creation, which is nearly a 1,000,000 swing in job creation...He's got my vote...

Tzalaran

It's called political extortion.

You are impressed by a motorcade? Wow, the voting intellect of the general public is a disaster. Trust me Obama motorcades are a dime a dozen because he never works.

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 you 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.

Obama/Biden 2012.

I already voted. And so did 3 of my family members. Obama 4, Romney 0

Tzalaran;

Christie was the REAL leader in the wake of Hurrican Sandy, not Obama. Obama was a mere apprentice. Too bad Obama, didn't even wait for the lights to go back on in Jersey, before he yelled, "Revenge." Sick, really.

Romney/Ryan 2012

i disagree. Christie himself praised the President's leadership on the entire thing. After railing against the very same charge (lack of leadership) during the keynote speech, and in stump speeches up until Hurricane Sandy, it is laughable to claim that the President was just following in Christie's footsteps and learning how it is done. President Obama is a good leader, and if republican's drop the abject hatred of him i'm sure they will find that he's reasonable and willing to compromise. Conservative suggestions have not been reasonable, and objective analysis agrees with that assessment.

An Obama reelection will be revenge. revenge on the closet deal to make President Obama a one term president at all costs. regardless of how it hurts the country, not one republican will vote for any bill Obama supports was the deal they made, and followed it out during the ACA debate (ACA is a mostly republican law after all, and they couldn't vote for it), the debt limit crisis last year, and the looming fiscal cliff now. It isn't the blood and glory revenge that you are trying to tie it to, but political revenge will feel good to many of us who feel that the republican party has put our nation at risk due to their internal struggle with ideological purity.

President Obama isn't perfect, but the platform he presents is a much better path for the future than that promoted by Mr. Romney. check out the CRS study on tax policy as it correlates to job growth. you might learn why the current conservative economic plan is based on fantasy.

I guess you were cool with him giving ICBM tech to China? His "good works" came from the republicans taking over congress and forcing his hand and when he relented he reaped the benefits....Obama is NOT Bill Clinton except in the sense of giving away our security like the Clintons did.

"Tell Vladimir......"-----he can STICK IT!

it seems that Liberals are envious of Capitalism. Why? Come up with an idea and make your own business sweat your ass off and wait for someone to say you have to much money and we need to take it away from you. But no you prefer to sit down and wait for the government to give you what you need for free. Food coupon, Pay your rent, Give you money for your car, and you enjoy and have fun in bed producing more children that equal more money from the government or to have an abortion and continue to have fun in bed. That is the Liberal mind.

Joe Sorrows a wealthy Democrat Millionaire is smart. All of his corporation are in South America. He contribute millions to the Democratic party but his employees are in south America. Very Intelligent person. he prefers to give the Spanish your Job. But he bring his goods here and you buy his stuff with no problem. Why not start to buy MADE IN THE USA and show them that we prefer paying a little extra but it was made by one of our own.

Gregorio57

And How many products are made in Mexico?

Now how many products that you buy are made in China?

A hell of lot more then Mexico

You Republicans always talk about the NAFTA

But we're were you when GW Bush signed the Trans Pacific Trade Aggrerment!

Box Lunch:

You have it backwards its Obama that can't work with congress. It's easier to replace the one bad seed then all of congress

Congressional politics is local and on the state level. It would be easier to replace the one obstructionist in your district. President Obama tried. He has given in so much some think he is a moderate democrat at best. I say he knows how to work in a bi-partisan way. The republicans idea of bi-partisanship is to give me 100% of what we want and then give us more. What the president needs to do is just mention he is in complete agreement with the republicans and watch the republicans turn a complete 180 and pass what the president wanted in the first place. (that was sarcasm, but hey! It could work!)

@RBReich Romneyism, is that another word like Reganism? Coined for one yet to be President - JOBS, Uncle Bob, it's all about JOBS here in the USA.

Mitt Romney... are you serious????

Box, you are out to lunch...we, as in the Clinton Administration, created 22 million jobs by putting money in the hands of small businesses and the middle class people...we left with a budget surplus...that surplus was squandered with tax cuts to the wealthy (no jobs created) and the start-up of two wars. Is that not failed leadership?

Clinton, I repeat, Clinton is NOT running for re-election.

Hey Independent - Where's Bush?

Real:

We don't need Bush, we have Citizens that want our nation on a bipartisan path.

Where's Oprah, Jeremiah Wright, and all of Obama's big buddies from 2008. MIA! Ahh, the truth be told...

Romney/Ryan 2012

Bipartisan? The party that vowed to block every bill until they got Obama out of the White House?

The party that holds the record for filibusters in this nation's history?

The party that has run the most DO-NOTHING House of Representatives since the Great Depression?

That party?

Pardon me while I laugh for the next hour or so.

Real:

Thank God the Congress stopped the runaway train. They were doing what they were voted to do.

Where's all Obama's "friends?" OPRAH, yo, OPRAH??? My God she shared the stage with him at every turn in 2008! Sheep in wolf's clothing, Real, but you don't see it. Too busy looking for legal tax returns.

Romney/Ryan 2012

Real:

Yes, bipartisan, Romney/Ryan with Christie!!!! Even O liked the love.

Romney/Ryan 2012

Hells ya Slick Willy if that's you call him

Or Bill, Mr Clinton ,William Jefferson Clinton just call him the Best Darn President in the Land

Next to OBAMA

We Love you Guys your the best PRESIDENTS EVER

One of Romenys biggest support is already making an excuses for him not winning the Election. (Rove)

"If you hadn't had the storm, there would have been more of a chance for the Romney campaign to talk about the deficit, the debt, the economy. There was a stutter in the campaign. When you have attention drawn away to somewhere else, to something else, it is not to his advantage."

"As people do better, they start voting like Republicans - unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing." Another Karl Rove quote... WTF!

They are starting to eat each other now...not a good sign.

Well I hope they don't finish till they get them all.....I am sick to death of those hateful people.

I love it. "unless they have too much education." If that doesn't prove that they cater to the low information, redneck, ignorant voter, I don't know what does. Rove is bitching because the bright, well-educated,high-information voters won't buy his lies. I guess that's why the Republican party is in such a hurry to get rid of public education. In Texas, it's against the law to teach critical thinking skills. Those damn critical thinking skills make it impossible for Republicans to get away with their bs. I love it.

malarson I do not find it reassuring romney is a ceo.not presidential material. He has never stood for anything without reversing his stance,the remarks he made falsely, says anything to get a vote.

The "They" that you above refer to are fellow Americans. Do you people even realize that? This country has become so divided since Barack Obama has become president. You (above) each dismiss fellow Americans as "Hateful"; you want Republicans to eat each other - until there are none left (because then there will be all people thinking your way). Is that what goes for the new left? Every one thinks the same; no dissension; all lock-stepped.

You even accuse people of not having critical thinking skills, when there are brilliant people on both sides of this political battle. Do you truly think that all people of intelligence are voting for Barack Obama?

You've made allegations but have given no citations - what reversing did Romney do, Clark? Underemployed, do you think most people get to the place in life that any of these candidates are in currently, without having critical thinking skills. And as to hateful, Kathryn, how much more hateful can you be than to want people absolutely gone forever?

Well, here's some links of the caliber of voters that got Obama elected. Enjoy:

Dear Rich:

First of all, call the ONLY president who left us with a surplus and project-surplus of $1 TRILLION by 2010 is not cool. The Repubs beat on drums for seven years about Whitewater and $40 MILLION later only proved he lost $1,000 in the investment - that's it! The U.S. enjoyed the greatest job market and overall prosperity EVER and, then DUbya SCREWED us.

Now, the other networks are definitely more OBJECTIVE whereas everybody knows Faux news makes it up as it goes along. Don't you find it odd that "all the polls are skewed for Obama" and "the liberal media" has his back when: Romney's TAX RECORDS are unavailable. Expenditure records for the MOST EXPENSIVE OLYMPICS (2002) are "missing" when reporters tried to get answers to questions during Romney's FOOT-IN-HIS-MOUTH trip to Britain, Poland and Israel - they could only get THREE QUESTIONS answered. When asked about the moron spouting "pregnancy by rape is intented by God" R&R cannot be cornered to answer - they nearly run or keep reporters away. Romney "RETROACTIVELY RETIRED" from Bain Capital so he claims - although as sole owner, CEO and chairman, his signature was on paperwork authorizing OUTSOURCING JOBS beyond 1999 to 2002. ANOTHER LIE! Or, that Mitt filed for two years as a Utah resident, THEN changed it back "RETROACTIVELY" so he could run for governor. Now, Romney is running that LIE ad about Obama eliminating the job requirement for unemployment when almost every new organization on earth has said "IT'S A LIE." Or, the ad about jobs being shipped to China which GM itself said "IT'S A LIE." If R&R get in the WH, Romney said he will ELIMINATE CAPITAL GAINS and similar taxes which will give him an income tax rax of ZERO.82% How much Visine do you need? Load up on Ginko Biloba and help some brain cells back from the abyss of Republican lies... you may see the light yet!

OBAMA/BIDEN 2012 Vote Democrat for Democracy!

So your point is that besides Faux and Romney, the whole world is supporting Obama? Thanks for picking the worst possible candidate then.

President Barack Hussein Obama's Presidential Campaign is a liberals wet dream...Hussein Obama has his pants unzipped so people can hear him speaking through his dick...Slick Willie with his pans unzipped cause he was in a hurry to get on stage after a blow job back stage...and Crazy Joe showing his gonads so people could judge the magnitude of his cue ball faux pas...

Amazing, just simply amazing, the gutter language used by the liberals.

What makes you think that?

What in the giant chasm of information available to you makes you think Romney is gonna win?

Lots of experience in watching and picking elections. I am right on this one. It wont be close.

In your dreams maybe tlins.......in your dreams.....there are no such indicators of any victory for Romney and it is looking worse by the day.

@tlins- what GIANT chasm of information are you reading? The electoral votes have it already.

Come Wednesday we will know the answer. I have never missed a prediction an this one isn't even close.

"I just feel it in my gut."

Like Bush.

tlins...

I predict you will have a new nick on 11/07.

Probably whining, but under a new nick.

A corporate raider who stashes his fortune off shore in the same banks the drug kings use and will not show us his taxes........lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Anyone who knows anything about lipreading knows it is far from an exact science since many sounds are not visible on the lips and many people are more difficult to read than others. Other lip readers had the following interpretations of what Mrs. Obama said:

"We're in for a real fight."

"I wonder if they flew that flag."

"It's amazing how they fold that flag."

Honestly, if the best argument you have is that SOME people THINK the First Lady said this thing about her country you are a sad and sorry fool.

Kathryn:

There is a difference between using the same banks and being buddies with the drug kings. Which one was Romney? I thought so.

Romney/Ryan 2012!

They did so FOR the American people.

Investors will NOT invest while an idiot is in the White House.

These guys are TRUE Patriots.

Bull, these guys are tea party haters........and Ryan is the worst.

Investors will NOT invest while an idiot is in the White House.

I guess you're right about that. That's why the stock market tanked when Bush was in the White House, but has been steadily trending upward since Obama moved in.

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT - and the shoe fits! And, 2010 just brought on a wave of joyous, rabid, rightees to attack many programs and policies approvied by MOST AMERICANS including: Planned Parenthood, Women's healthcare including contraception/abortion and Voter Supression Laws cloaked as "voter fraud." Realize if R&R were elected, these "TEA PARTY" radicals (who brought the greatest personal wealth to congress) will eliminate the little 15% capital gains taxes so they pay ZERO.

Do you Repubs see the Dems doing ANYTHING like that? Hell, NO. The coffee is burning!

OBAMA/BIDEN 2012 and all DEMOCRATS for DEMOCRACY

Harry:

THANK GOD, the Congress stopped the runaway train. My 5th grade daughter was subjected to learning about anal and oral sex in 5th grade, thanks to Planned Parenthood and left wing liberal agenda's!!!

Also, it is untrue that Planned Parenthood provides free mammograms as Obama debated, several of us called, and they said that is not part of their service.

Stop this INSANITY!!

Romney/Ryan 21012

FEROBSON:

The obstructionists in Congress must have been a perfect setup, as it appears it has worked because all you LIBS are shouting from the highest mountains, about how successful the past four years have been. Why change now?

Romney/Ryan 2012

Planned Parenthood facilitates ACCESS to mammograms! Many women would not have been able to get one without PP's help!

ACCESS does not mean PAID FOR!

Independent - when you tell us how many mammograms you've gotten, we'll start to listen.

Meanwhile, don't talk about things you obviously know nothing about. It just makes you look ignorant.

From FactCheck.org:

In addition to mammogram referrals, the group says it helps low-income patients find grants and assistance to pay for mammograms, such as through the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program, which is for women at or below 250 percent of the federal poverty level. Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania also has a Breast Health Care Fund, which helps patients obtain mammograms. Individual clinics also may occasionally sponsor no-cost mammogram events — for instance, on Oct. 19, Planned Parenthood of Nassau County, N.Y., plans to sponsor free mammograms at a mammography van at the health center. In south-central New York, a state program parks its mobile van outside two Planned Parenthood clinics.

And when ObamaCare finally finishes its GOP-imposed quarantine period and takes effect in 2014, ALL women will be able to receive free mammograms.

Real:

I am 50 years old, I have had several. Planned parenthood does NOT provide "free"mammograms. Oh that fine print is always a bugger. "Referrals is not free." Sandra Fluke would not qualify. Yes, there are grants, but if you look at total numbers, very few are actually served. For the masses, we can not get a mammogram for free from planned parenthood.

Romney/Ryan 2012

Then I suppose you're all for Obamacare - which WILL offer mammograms free of charge to all women.

Call your Congressman and tell him to stop wasting taxpayer money on the 34th repeal effort, okay?

Health Care Law Repeal Efforts By House GOP Cost Nearly $50 Million: CBS Report

While Republicans lambast the cost of implementing health care reform, a new report shows that their efforts to repeal the law have come at a major cost to taxpayers -- to the tune of nearly $50 million.

The House of Representatives again voted to repeal President Obama's signature health care law on Wednesday, marking the 33rd time Republicans have attempted to take down the legislation. The 32 previous repeal efforts faltered at the hands of the Democrat-controlled Senate; the latest attempt is unlikely to break that pattern.

My current insurance covers mammograms, I don't need the government to do it.

Romney/Ryan 2012

realamerican low income people don't need plan parenthood because they already have medicaid. plan parenthood is a waste of government money that could be use on technology. This organization is costing the government double. They have to pay medicaid and they have to pay plan parenthood. Let government get rid that organization that's ripping off our government. My mother has done 10 or more and her insurance pay for it. my wife has done 5 or more my insurance pay for it with no co payment.

Must be embarrassing when an "impeached president" is your "last hope".

Only an idiot thinks good ole Bill is going to save the day !

Massachusetts Democrats for ROMNEY 2012/2016

looking forward to 8 wonderful years ahead...

Mr. Thought -

My religion forbids mammogrqams for me. Must I still pay for it?

The Tea Party won't move to the middle. They're firmly mired somewhere to the right of Ghengis Khan.

Thank God President Obama that you didn't compromise with the Tealiban Party. You can't compromise with Crazy.

You'all are making me laugh out loud.......you are silly.

It'll be painful for everyone, but it's got to be done. If we continue as we are (as a nation), we will follow in Greece's footsteps within the next couple of years.

obama's damage to our country.

You mean like halting and reversing the economic free-fall and restoring our standing and respect in the world? That damage?

Audrey:

So naive.

Romney/Ryan 2012

Audrey's not naive. She understands, like the rest of us with functioning brain cells and memories, that BUSH got us into this mess and President Obama has been pulling us out and getting us back on track. You can try to spin it as does Faux News, but the truth is the truth.

Watching:

"Watch" the free fall if he is re-elected. Libs deserve the cliff.

Romney/Ryan 2012

When you say "your President" does that mean you are an illegal alien? Or is that your alien thinking?

DOOFUS!!!!

OBAMA OUT in 2012

To think people want to vote for a guy that can't find Iran on a map.

We have GPS guided missiles for that.

Even worse.......Mitt Romney has too many secrets.......dangerous as President.

but Rommey doesn´t know that, he doesn´t understand the word missile nonetheless guided and futhermore GPS

"psst, let's discuss this after the election."

Romney/Ryan 2012

Watch-out who you are call idiots.

The idiots will be making your life better soon.

BUT you will have to work for it.

GW is in the Caymans at a secret, closed "business" meeting of the rich and powerful .......

Kathryn you beat me to the punch. Ole weasel boy was indeed in the Caymans, one can only venture to guess that it was r to ensure that the republicans little tax haven is safe.

I'm posting this to you because I believe it is important. I feel that my messages have been filtered so here goes:

By now, in these last remaining
days before the election of 2012, we have learned enough about the beliefs of
the Republican presidential candidate to see them as a worldview all its own --
a kind of creed that explains Mitt Romney. Those who say he has no principles
are selling him short.

Despite its contradictions and
ellipses, Romneyism has an internal coherence. It is different from
conservatism, because it does not intend to conserve or protect any particular
institutions or values. It is also distinct from Republicanism, in that it is not
rooted in traditional small-town American values, nationalism, or states'
rights.

The ten guiding principles of
Romneyism are:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is the Romney preamble for change. It smells of Fascism and must be stopped.

No one needed to "filter" that.

It's too funny not to let go.

Thanks for the laugh.

lol - using 4 year old political noise. That's good. Keep hollering, because the only one that can hear it is you - idiot.

I have to agree with you robert b. I mean, after all, people have bought the utter load of crap that Romney has spouted for the past few months. Seriously, Romney has his head so far up his own ass I think he must have studied proctology in college. Whether you agree with Obama or not, at least he isnt flip flopping like a fish out of water, which is all Romney has done.

dburton

you are entirely correct in your assessment of obama

he doesnt flip-flop, he has done everything above board,but people of your ilk refuse to see that he is doing everything he can to run this country strait into the ground. and he has not once faltered in the course he has laid out and acted on at every opportunity

Yes WE will.......

Good triumphs over evil on Tuesday!!!

If this were a movie, there'd be no question who the Hero and who the Villain is:

Black kid raised by a single mom, grows into a man who dedicates his life to serving first his community, then his country as President. On his agenda is affordable healthcare for everyone, improving access to higher education, rescuing a failing economy, and eliminating the man responsible for worst terrorist attack on American soil. All along the way, this GOOD American President has had to endure the most ridiculous, hateful, vile, bigoted, opposition any president has had to endure.

This opposition's candidate? A guy born into privilege and wealth, who once with a group of other bullies held a fellow student down and assaulted him because he was gay. A Vietnam War cheerleader who dodged the draft on the French Riviera so other, poorer young men could die instead. A guy who made millions eliminating American jobs and sending them overseas to China. A man running against our good President on a campaign so full of lies, flip-flops, and used-care salesman smarminess, he's a straight-out-of central-casting archetype for 'Greasy Politician.' A candidate for president who has explicitly said he doesn't care about the poor or fully half of the American people.

The contrast and the choice could not be any clearer.

Obama has America's best interests at heart.

Romney only has his own.

Audrey:

Enough with the racism shame, that only worked in 2008.

Get over not knowing how to create your own American Dream.

Romney/Ryan 2012

Enough with the racism shame, that only worked in 2008.

True. Sadly, during this election cycle, it seems the racists have no shame.

And I'm voting Obama/Biden to restore the American Dream, the one we lost during 8 disastrous years of the Bush regime. Why on earth would anybody want to regress to those failed policies?

No you won't.....

I hope Obama wins, the polls are so close, but the best part will be to see rush limbaugh overload.

so, because you dont like windbag rush, you would vote for low pay and no jobs for college grads and 20-29 year old Black kids (which rate has INCREASED UNDER BARAK) ... I dont like Rush, but I sure as heck dont want the kids living with me until I die ... and having to pay off their student loans because the best job they can get pays 7.50 an hour at mickey d's with a Biochemical Engineering Degree ... GEEZE ... This isnt about Rush Limpballs, Its not about Bill perv screws underage girls at the mansion Mahr .. its not about Jay sold crack-Z .. its about JOBS and PAY ...

I guess you are a loafer that smokes dope.

GEEZE youre nuts.

try looking up facts with obama the cost of college has went down and jobs are coming in yes its slow but look what he had to work with the just say no or just right out walk out party you call the gop countless job bills and they said no to every one i know all about what you are filling its hard hell i don't have a car right know i have a grand-kid that lives with me (not that i am complaining its great ) but the thing is its you cant go back to the bush and that's what it will be more wars 2 trillion for his war ships he tells you that Chrysler will send jobs to china Chrysler them self said its was the biggest bunch of bull they have ever seen in this campaign hes using scare tactics and i would hope you are smart enough to know that and dont forget that the last gop president we had let the most ever Americans get killed and on our own land please think its our voting that will send us back our forward and its not just the president its all you vote for give it a chance with all the right people not another dead lock

The dems voted for these wars as well.

What there not to be held responsible only the repubs.

The woes of this nation is every ones fault and responsibility to fix.

We can not rely on one man to fix the problems no mater who he is.

If you think so,only a few more miles forward to the edge of the cliff

Everytime a person buys an import car,they are feeding the unemployment line.

@ jb roth, post 25.5

There are foreign cars or cars that have foreign names built in the United States. GM sold 2 million cars to China this year! Have you ever seen a car made in China on American streets? Who is sending jobs to China? Who made millions off of the Auto Bailout after telling everyone he was against it? Give your import car B.S. a rest. You have no idea how many cars are built here or where they are shipped. Japan was hit hard by the last Earth Quake and Honda has already said it can't build the cars they need to build in Japan any longer and are moving more work here. So stfu!
