Remember seniors, Obamacare has already cut your medicare, higher co-pays, certain drugs that are aimed at seniors not allowed under Part D. Most important, is the fact that wanted to take God out of their platform. These are the ones that want to kill the unborn by abortion up to and including the 8th and 9th month. Also remember Obama was the ONLY IL state senator that voted against the bill to protect those born alive AFTER an abortion. THREE TIMES !!!

paul taylor usually someone would have to be wearing a thomas jefferson colonial hat in the walmart parking lot to spew this kind of nonsense to scare seniors. first of all obamacare doesnt kick in until 2014 so how has it " cut' people's medicare already? it also closes the medicare donut hole which will save seniors a lot of money on their prescriptions. it also keeps in place the medicaid needed as the extension of senior's medicare that is covering the cost of them living in nursing homes. save your ' theyre stealing God from us" and worry a little more why not one republican speaker last week even mentioned our troops or even acknowledge we,ve been at war a decade already. it was a disgrace. so far almost every democrat speaker has spent time out of what they were saying to thank our troops and keep the fact that they need our help once they get back home. this country is tired of the wackos and religious nuts. we have a lot to do and its an annoying distraction.

We also need higher gas prices. Watch him do something to drop them just before the election to look good. They will go back up tho. Dont be fooled by any more of his lies. There is no hope with him. Just my opinion. Have a good day.

¡PRESIDENT OBAMA ROCKS!

God bless Obama. Another 4 years.

Good question Stan W!. They should have put somewhere in that 2000 page bill that the branch of government that created the system also has to abide by it.

Hopefully the people in this country will realize what a liar this president is and put Romney in office. obamas speech last night sounded a lot like corzine when he ran for reelection. If you give me four more years I will start getting the things done I promised I would do in my first term. obama doesnt rock he is a rock head.

Romney will win it by a landslide.

It's the economy, stupid. Romney will win easily. Unfortunately for the Campaigner-in-Chief his opponent is very well qualified, has more money to spend in key markets, and has surrounded himself with quality people who know about strategic planning and execution.

The Complainer-in-Chief has nothing to run on other than dividing the nation:
But of course, he's for Women, Seniors, Juniors, College Students, The Middle Class, the Poor, Veterans, Gays, One-eyed people, people who drive cars, and people who eat 3 meals a day, so if you belong to one of these classes, you must vote for him or else you're just in favor of tax breaks for the wealthy.

Anyone watch John Kerry last night? The fact that he's a US Senator disgusts me. Almost as much as the lies that Obama spread last night in his empty speech.

Obama lies from his speech:
He'll use the money that we used to pay for wars to pay down the deficit. Uh, no. You can't use debt to pay debt. Any 1st year economics student can tell you that.

I'll vote for a MORMON instead of a MORON!

Obama Delegate Tells Reporter she wants to kill Romney. (This isn't a joke. This crazy delegate actually said this!) http://www.theblaze.com/stories/secret-service-were-aware-of-dnc-delegates-threat-to-kill-romney/

Imagine the statement that would be made if Romney carried New Jersey

If your not sure what Obama-care is just go to the doctor. I will bet the doctor will be checking the pulse in your foot and have you sign a paper to prove that he did . Who know's you better your doctor or Obama, think about that !!!

I can not predict the winner, only the loser: our children and grandchildren. Neither Obama nor Romney has offered a workable, plan to curb government growth and government spending, a plan clearly defined and grounded in reality. The magnitude of the debt we are leaving our descendents will crush any hopes they have of living lives like ours.

Me, I'm voting for Gary Johnson. Throwing away my vote, you say? No more so than voting for Obama or Romney.

GO ROMNEY

The big winner is that product "Five Hour Energy". I needed a case to watch two weeks of that stuff.

The loser? The "Straw Man Coalition", representing DNC socialists who are going to take over America, and RNC billionaires whose taxes are going to pay for it.

Obama will get my vote. Whoever wins, it will be by a slim margin. This is a divided nation.

The biggest problem with Obamacare is that it is not about health care, it is all about health insurance. Obamacare involves trillions of increased government spending and taxes. Worst of all is that it involves a loss of control over, and the quality of, our own health care.

Obama’s introduction and passing of the Stimulus Bill, costing the country a trillion dollars, and wasting our national wealth.

Obama’s appointment of Leon Panetta as CIA director, a man who has not had any professional experience within the CIA. A blunder of great proportions – Panetta is not an insider, and has no working knowledge of the agency’s intricate details.

Obama’s appointment of Rahm Emanuel to Chief of Staff – a former director of the failed Freddie Mac.

Obama’s commitment to close Guantanamo, and grant terrorists the same judicial rights as American citizens.

Obama’s appointment of Chas Freeman for position of chairman of the National Intelligence Board, who has had deep financial ties to Saudi Arabia, and who has held anti-Semitic views regarding Israel.

Obama’s appointment of Tom Daschle for position of Health and Human Services Director. Tom Daschle was found guilty of tax-evasion for at least $180,000

Daschle only avoided paying taxes on $180,000. Ted Kennedy killed a woman and got away with it and he was the Kingpin of Government run healthcare.

Yes, Ted Kennedy killed a woman but the Republicans are anti-woman. Pure hypocrisy.

It's repulsive that OBAMA will force OBAMACARE on ALL AMERICANS except HIMSELF. OBAMA and his family get private healthcare for LIFE.

A CHALLENGE TO THE FAR RIGHT REPUBLICANS: DO ANY OF YOU THINK ROMNEY AND RYAN WILL NOT HAVE US WARRING AGAINST IRAN AND NORTH KOREA WITHIN A YEAR?

Ric: What do you do about Constitutionalists?

This should scare the hell out of you!

This is the man that helped get Clinton elected President twice, and Governor of AR three times. You should watch this video...this is NOT a "phony."

This is Dick Morris who used to work for the Clinton administration, he is a respected news contributor and author.

He knows what he is talking about. He investigates before reporting etc.

This is going to affect everyone!
http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=-wIfI2whjiM

Mrgrumpass: Thank you for the nice words.

Dick Morris knows the Clintons like no other. Morris got into a ton of hooker-related trouble back in the day. I think he learned his lesson-- especially when he blew the whistle on all of the insanity in the Clinton world.

Our nation is in DEEP DOO-DOO if Obama and then Hillary continue to seduce the sheeple.

Mrgrumpass 11:00 am on Friday, September 7, 2012 Jay you do your homework keep it up!!!!

Romney, the corporate raider, tax evader, doesn't really want to DO the job. He just wants to HAVE the job. He has no clue about foreign policy and neither does that little liar, hypocrite, Paul Ryan. The Republicans appeal to those who RESENT the poor - the sub middle class white guys who have a big chip on their shoulder because they haven't made it themselves. So instead of resenting the super rich who have stacked the deck in their own favor, they resent the poor. Nice work, Koch brothers - you are trying to buy this election and keep people from voting. If Romney wins, he will be a illigitimate president because he has knowingly lied (about the Welfare work requirment) and oppressing the vote. If Romeny wins it will be an illigitate win - just like George Bush - who was such a disaster that they refuse to mention his name in all their ads and speeches. But they profess the same policies as George Bush - exactly the same that got this country to the brink of disaster.

jennifer: Please explain, in detail, how Romney violated Section 7201 of the Internal Revenue Code.

To Ric, your challenge is flawed. There is a very significant chance that we will be at war with Iran before November. Think about it. If Obama wins, Iran will be emboldened to strike at Israel because they know Obama has no use for Israel except in order to get the Jewish vote. After November, he will not care anymore because he won't be running again. So Israel may strike first before the election figuring Obama will support them in order to keep the Jewish vote. Why do you think his people keep floating stories about an Israeli strike on Iran? It is in order to keep Iran on alert to foil and/or discourage such a raid. Do you really believe that platform "plank" supporting the Palestinians over Israel was an accident, HAH?

Apparently, he didn't but that is because the lobbyists he and the super rich hire to influence congress make laws that allow someone to pay tax on investments differently that we all do on income. He is paying on 28 million less than 15%. The super rich do whatever they want. He is hiding money in Swiss bank accounts. I can't do that. I think the minimum requirement for a Presidential candidate should be that they keep their money in the US. Of course, you - sub middle class who probably pays 30% will find this "evasion" admirable but being a good tax paying citizen should be a requirment for the biggest job in the US The Republicans, in their - every man for himself - mentality find Romney's conduct acceptable. But I am appalled by his selfishness. He told young people if they want to start a business, to borrow money from their parents. This guy has no clue and you are a sucker to back him - because you are not super rich and will be used and abused by these Republicans

The majority of Americans don't want the law, Mr. Froelich. Obamacare was WRITTEN by the managed-care provider Wellpoint.

...and why wouldn't lobbyists for healthcare want a MANDATORY TAX that will be enforced by the barrel of a GUN on American citizens?

"Brian Froelich 9:36 am on Friday, September 7, 2012 FYI, almost all medical and hospital associations (e.g. AMA, ANA, etc) and senior organizations (e.g. AARP) supported Obamacare."

As I read the responses from Obama supporters on this thread, I am struck by the fact that there are only two possible reasons to support Obama: 1) a complete lack of understanding about Obama's policies and proposals or 2) a dedication to the destruction of this country as we know it and its replacement with a socialist state. Those in the second category are hopeless lost. There is however hope for those in the first category. My plea to you: Please read up on the facts, learn the truth, do not be fooled by the false rhetoric you hear from Obama and his shills in the mainstream media, and reassess your position. We need you to save this country and take it back from the radical extremists on the left.

Talk to your Drs and ask how obamacare would effect them. Romney wins

Romney hands down, I pray. Go watch the movie 2016.

The "2016" movie is a perfect expose' of a President
who was elected by a massive group who have not represented
the Democratic Party for many years ...
Romney with is incredible background can and will bring this
country back from the incredible debt ...
The recent Democratic Convention was a big joke ...
the parade of celebrities do not represent the poor or the
middle class ... they represent the destruction of once
a powerful and freedom loving country ... world respected
except for those who support big government and control
by the government period ... incredible who so many
who were freed by a Republic are solidly behind a black
man who has set upon such massive control ...
Romney will WIN because he truly represents the
core of American Ideals ...

" so much to say" obamacare will create a 10 % tax on tanning.? bad news for snooki a big "who cares? " from everyone else. as for sal sorce who reccomends the " obama 2016" movie because " you will get to know the real obama" . the film maker of this tripe dinesh souza has admitted he has never met or spoken to obama and yet he claims to know obama more than the rest of us. and heres the clincher on sept 17th 2001 as the trade center still burned dinesh souza the guy who made this movie you love said this on abc tv (you can find it easily on you tube) when speaking of the 9/11 terrorists "these men were not cowards. it takes guts to fly planes into concrete buildings. those men were warriors" . now you can go see a fantasy movie from a guy who praised the 9/11 terrorists but if i want to spend $8 on a fantasy movie i,ll go see batman. what a " perfect expose" sal.

last week we learned how poor every republican started out being born in log cabins they built themselves. i never heard a word about our troops because not one republican speaker even mentioned our troops or war except for the new one romney is warming up for in iran. it was a disgrace thousands of soldiers killed and republicans treated them like they belonged on the back of a milk carton. the dems made sure our troops arent forgotten and even an iraq vet who lost her legs in iraq who is running for office. her republican opponent said "tammy duckworth is making a big deal out of her military service" whatta guy. i just saw romney say he will create 12 million jobs how he will do that he has no idea and neither does anyone else. if you believe he can create 12 million jobs i have complimentary tin foil hats to give to john jay, grumpass, too much to say and others. by the wat too much to say ask your 4 out of 5 doctors what will happen to seniors in nursing homes when romney eliminates the medicaid extension that allows them to pay for staying in those nursing homes. get back to us on that will ya?

Members of Congress are not "exempt" form the health care reforms no matter how many times people repeat this nutty claim.

http://www.factcheck.org/2010/01/congress-exempt-from-health-bill/

Clint , Dinesh was explaining how the terrorists viewed themselves, to a terrorist they believe they are warriors I saw the movie, did a lot of fact checking and he's not far off base. I can say I'm not going to make another mistake this November.

jeff now youre interpreting for souza? souza never said " this is how they view themselves" you can check the transcript. he was giving his opinion on what he thought about them. you are going to tell us what the comment " those men were not cowards" was supposed to mean? good luck . and sal source it wasnt my comment it was the guy youre donating $8 bucks to . good luck trying to see over the ben franklin colonial hats the teabaggers sitting in front of you in the theatre will be wearing.

@Clint - Maybe its because the Republican convention concentrated on Romney as a candidate and America united as a whole, and how we can all rise together. The Democrat convention concentrated more on dividing us into groups - veterans, seniors, women, minorities. One thing that stood out for me was how there were people who were able to give accounts of personal generosity and friendship from Romney and his wife. I cant remember ever hearing a neighbor, college friend, fellow church member, family member (other than his wife) step up to give a personal account of the 'real' Barack Obama.

I am delighted this is out in the open -- as D-Day approaches for this mess, I bet:

* Congress will come up with a loophole for itself
* If the do, they will be voted out of office
* If they do not scrap this insane Obamacare, they will be voted out of office

-- I wonder if any of the idiots in Congress that DID vote for it knew they were shafting themselves?

-- Lastly, why would ANYONE support a law that would strip you of your rights to choose you doctor and how you takie care of yourself?

Romney/Ryan. Obama has been bringing this country down since he took office. To understand why please see "2016 THE MOVIE". Even GEORGE OBAMA, Pres.Obamas half brother living in a shack in INDONEASIA does NOT agree with PRES OBAMAS politics. GEORGES mom, obamas aunt, lives in Georgia and applied for a visa to visit his mom, but it was denied. I believe PRES OBAMA doesnt want anyone that can expose anything from his past around. If Pres
OBAMA was genuinely concerned that everyone "gets a fair shot" in life, why does he ignore his half brother George living in a shack and why wont he let him visit his mom?

The amount of stupid in this comment section is mind blowing....

368,000 people in U.S. dropped out of the workforce. 23,000,000 people on the U.S. are either unemployed or under-employed. Half the college graduates in the U.S. cannot find jobs. The adverage yearly incomes of U.S. families is down $4,000. Foodstamp dependancy is up 47% since Pres Obama took office. Welfare recipients is the highest ever in U.S. history.
So, if this is a "STUPID COMMENT", I feel sorry for you! This is reality, stop drinking koolaid, Our kids and grandkids deserve better than a debt of $16 trillion!

Obama is ruining this country. I'm not too sure that Romney is the answer, but I see no reason to give Obama another four years when he had done nothing good in his first four. It will be a close race and hopefully enough people have realized that he is not the superstar they thought he was four years ago.

OBAMA
four more years!

Hey ...2much, can u tell me what Obama has done to improve your life?

2 much: instead of looking at the facts, policies and the debt, you are probably listening to the constant "MIS-SPOKEN" words that PRES OBAMA and BIDEN often speak. Do yourself a favor, look past the big smile, the song singing, and the swag walk! We dont need a celebrity in chief...we need a commander in chief, someone that will get the country back working, people starting businesses and getting the national debt under control.

Looks like the electorial votes fall in favor of Obama, although the popular vote will be very close, again.

Romney should win, but will he? The answer is no.

Obama has gathered a coalition that represents 55% of registered voters. He will get the african american vote becuase they think he is "black" when he is biracial. He will get the hispanic vote as he is soft on immigration. He will get the female vote as he supports abortion. He will get the homosexual vote as he supports gay marriage.

The results?
Popular Vote: Obama 54%-Romney 46%
Electoral Vote: Obama 287- Romney 251

None of the Obama supporters in this thread has mentioned the Republican "War on Women". I found it ironic that the DNC held a special honor for Ted Kennedy who let a young woman drown in his car when he ran off a narrow bridge while heading into the boonies to "get to know her better". Then the keynote speaker was Bill Clinton, a disbarred lawyer, convicted perjurer, impeached president, and notorious abuser of several women.

Will this election really even matter? 12-21-12 is just over 3 months away. If you think things are wackey now,be prepared for things to get real interesting.

simpletruth- to be fair and give balance, you should read David Maraniss's book "Obama The Story" and David Remick's "The Bridge" Now you and others could promote D'souza's book which the movie is based on, but to ferret out all the Truth... you need to read other writers biographies, beside D'souza, unless your trying to cover up your own political bias, which is somewhat disingenuous and devious?

Spooner..no bias here! Parents were dems, so i thought i was a dem in my younger years. As i grew older, paid more attention to politics, realized dems were not actually helping people get out of proverty, but actually helping keep them there. There would be generations of families on welfare. Welfare to work reform encouraged work and many for the first time felt good about themselves. Now Pres Obama gutted that reform, now reading a book is concidered " work", thus discouraging recipients from getting off the welfare roll. This keeps them "dependant" on the gov't, which in turn keeps recipients voting democratic to keep the checks coming. Big gov = Pres Obama = dependant recipients. Just look at cities such as chicago, los angeles, newark, miami, to name a few where millions are sent to help residents, the only ones benefiting are the mayors in those cities and their cronies.

...watch out, your going to wake up our 'John Jay' who will tell you that the KKK and the Democrats are/were all the same. But I thought they were reactionaries to progressive social changes. I guess in the South due to Negro soldiers returning from the war, and up North from blacks taking jobs in place of immigrants whose migration had dropped off due to the war in Europe. The Klan had this nationalistic identity that it maintained favored them as white native[?] citizens, and saw Blacks and immigrants as a threat to that right in their way of life and economic security. Oddly enough we had a big Klan group right here in Ocean County. There hall still stands in what is now Riverwood Park in Toms River.

Again, the lesser of two evils.....: (

Does anyone remember obamas apology tour right after he was elected....when he went around to all the Arab/Muslim nations apologizing for America. He had made this country look like a joke to the world. He is the weakest leader we have ever elected.

Have all you Obama fans even read the books he wrote. It's a big wake up call
for us "Americans". Read before you vote.

If anyone attended the DNC convention, did they find this in their gift basket?

http://therealrevo.com/blog/?p=83127

Neither are the best choice, HOWEVER anyone ( in either party) that Keeps GOD out of their speech wont be getting my vote...

one more thing... didnt anyone else realize when VP Biden was talkikng about bring jobs back to the US remember who lead them out ... CLINTON how quickly we forgot about NAFTA bought to you by what party....? ohh the "D's" the jobs whould have never left here IN THE 1ST PLACE!!

Recall the attacks on Ann Romney and her horse?
So the Romney's are selfish of keeping a horse?
And employing a groom with a family to support?
How about the feed sold by someone with a family
to support and transported in trucks by someone
with a family to support ... and manufactured by
people with jobs and families to support from all
the stuff that's grown by farmers with families to
support?
And how about the barn built by a construction crew
with families to support with materials trucked by
the drivers with families to support from factories with
workers with families to support?
SOUNDS LIKE THAT ONE HORSE HAS DONE MORE TO
PUT AMERICANS TO WORK THAN PRESIDENT BARRACK
OBAMA ...

Obama has never had a real job. So why are we shocked he can't create enough to turn the economy around? Its bad out there folks! He has offered no HOPE! Most of my friends from college are unemployed now or working teenager jobs. Voted for change, now changing my vote in 2012 for Romney!

I decided not to vote for Bush, absolutely did not vote for
Barrack Obama ... lesson learned ... every vote counts and
should be based upon performance ... this current
administration is the worse seen in over 50-years of voting
for President ... to bring Clinton forward shows how bad
things are going ...
PREDICTION ROMNEY AND RYAN HUGE LANDSLIDE WIN
NOVEMBER 6, 2012 ...
PEOPLE OF ALL RACES, BELIEFS (EXCEPT FOR THE HARD CORE
DEMOCRATS, WHO I BELIEVE ARE NOT TRULY DEMOCRATS!)
VOTERS CAN SEE HOW BAD THINGS ARE ... TO KEEP BLAMING
BUSH IS A LOSING CLAIM ... BARRACK HAS HAD POWER FOR
WELL OVER 3-PLUS YEARS, CONTROLLED BOTH HOUSES
FOR HIS EARLY YEARS ... HE HAS ABANDONED HIS OWN RANK
AND FILE ... EXCEPT FOR HIS CRONIES AND UNION LEADERS
WHO DO NOT REPRESENT PEOPLE BUT MERELY A FEW
WHO HAVE KIDNAPPED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ...
COMING FROM A LIFELONG REPUBLICAN ...
ROMNEY & RYAN 11-06-12 WIN WITH A LANDSLIDE !!!!

some of the comments are unbelievably asinine. no disrespect, but i'm always a little confused how someone can support the modern conservative platform.

Barry Soetoro aka Barack Obama couldn't pass the security clearance/background check to work emptying garbage cans at the FBI, but somehow you people want to re-elect him President.

This is what amazes me about the modern LIBERAL platform:

* Their party leader couldn't get a job an ANY federal agency based on questionable background, travel to foreign countries, and that his Social Security Number does not match his alleged birth state.

* Their Vice President was caught committing plagiarism in college and was forced to drop out of a Presidential bid because of plagiarism (Joe Biden)

* Their most celebrated speaker at the DNC is an impeached former President, committed perjury, fined $25K for it -- and was surrendered his law license rather than face perjury charges and/or disbarment from the Arkansas Supreme Court.

* Their other celebrated speaker at the DNC was caught lying about her "minority" status claim -- that she was a "Native American" -- and was able to get teaching positions at colleges based on her false claim (Elizabeth Warren).

DOES ANY OF THIS BOTHER DEMOCRATS? IT'S ALL TRUE!!

RE: "Lyle William 6:21 pm on Saturday, September 8, 2012 some of the comments are unbelievably asinine. no disrespect, but i'm always a little confused how someone can support the modern conservative platform."

Warren claims to be part native American, 1/32 to be exact. Her claim is based on Family stories. Warren has shown no factual evidence to her claim. There is no evidence in tribal records to back her claim. Warren has refused to meet with native American leaders several times, most recently at the DNC convention, to discuss her claim. One of the reasons Warren put this on her app to Harvard, as Warren has said, was to meet "fellow" native Americans. If that was the case why wo'nt she now meet with them?

Patrick -- You lame attempt to justify Democrats parading around people who commit perjury, plagiarism, and have dubious Social Security numbers is laughable.

Your justification of Warren is pathetic. The woman LIED about her ancestry to get her teaching position. That, Patrick, is called "theft by deception."

Your other lame statement: "Warren is part Native American.... She received no preferential treatment..." is 100% false. She got PAID for her LIE by Harvard because according to Boston.com “...for at least six straight years during Warren’s tenure, Harvard University reported in federally mandated diversity statistics that it had a Native American woman in its senior ranks at the law school,” despite the fact that Warren had been unable to produce a Native American ancestor, instead attributing her belief to family stories." (Source: http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2012/05/25/federal_documents_indicate_harvard_repeatedly_reported_elizabeth_warren_as_native_american/)

Patrick -- How could you tell your children you think the following people are good role models for them:

* An impeached and disbarred former President that committed perjury

* A sitting Vice President the committed plagiarism in college and even as a candidate

* A college professor who lied about her ethnic status on official job applications

* A sitting President whose initial claim to fame -- being the first "African American President of the Harvard Law Review" -- did not get the spot for writing a SINGLE scholarly legal article or academic merit -- but was voted into the spot based on a popularity contest!!

-- and if you want to go toe-to-toe on the Harvard issue: Put your money where your mouth is: Produce 3 genuine, peer-reviewed legal articles written by Obama when he was at Harvard and I will give you $1,000. Your submissions will be vetted by professionals. Belly up to the bar, Paddy.

Jay Santos: The Democrats' "star" Elizabeth Warren is JOE BIDEN in a skirt! She is a liar the touted her credentials -- just like Biden -- and when the research was over, everyone found out she LIED -- just like Biden.

Four more years? Four more years of 8% (actually much higher) unepmployment? High gas prices? National Debt tripled? American soldiers killed in wars this administration doesnt believe in? A President afraid of his own name "HUssein" who constantly promotes Islam (Google Nasa and Muslims and also see who he talks about on this 9/11 anniversary...thats right Islam)? A racist administration that forgives blacks for assaults (New Black Panthers voter intimidation) and attacks police who try to enforce laws (check out Arpaio in AZ)? If you've got Alec Baldwin and Joe Biden as your best spokesman your a pretty pathetic party. Oh and Bill Clinton...hmmm what did he do again, lie in court? bout cheating on his wife? with a WH intern? Using a cigar in the oval office? Great party you got there. Barry Hussein (Narcissist); Bill Clinton (misogynist ); Ted Kennedy (Murderer) who father (Illegal booze runner) paid local cops (corrupt) to cover up the crime.

"As for this fallacy that Dems and Obama has free reign for the first two years, is to forget how anything put forth was filibustered."

Patrick - Its no fallacy that the Dems had free reign during portions of Obama's term. The filibustering came from the Dem party. Remember Ben Nelson and the Cornhusker Kickback? Take a look at the Senate voting record for the Affordable Health Care Act .
http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=111&session=1&vote=00395
It passed 60-39 and not a single R voted yea. During this time, the Dems had free reign to pass any legislation they wanted and the R could do nothing to stop them. They chose to tackle health care and not jobs, economy, debt, etc.

If you vote for Obama you are either blind to reality or in total denial. What good has this President done in 4 years? I'd like to see this list. Oh and making Alec Baldwin relevant again doesnt count.

There is no GREY AREA to PERJURY, THEFT, and PLAGIARISM, Patrick. Your inability to see the difference between right and wrong points to a serious defect in your critical thinking skills.

People who are willing to LIE when presenting college term papers, lie on job applications to obtain higher positions, or commit perjury during an official investigation of the execution of their office will LIE in other areas as well.

This is not an opinion, this is a documented fact.

SS-Obersturmbannführer Otto Adolf Eichmann engaged in semantics. Do you remember his claim he was "...wurde nur befehle befolgt" (only following orders) when shipping out people to the death camps?

* "Patrick 8:06 am on Sunday, September 9, 2012 See this is why no one trusts Republicans... You can't speak to real issues just character assassination."

All I know is that my salary has gone down in the last four years while I try to keep my small business running, however, my real property taxes, income taxes, food costs, fuel costs and insurance premiums have increased. Medical insurance premiums alone went up 42% in the last four years. That's reality, folks, without calling anyone names or pointing fingers!

Obama's new slogan "Forward" was also the title to a Hitler Youth song entitled "Vorwärts".

Stranger still is that "Vorwärts!" was the name of a one of the most radical newspapers in Germany in the mid-1800s. Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Georg Weerth and Georg Weber all worked on Vorwärts!.

Democrats...HItler Youth....Communists...what a strange world of coincidences.

Amazing story proving Obama's SSN is fraudulent: http://wtpotus.wordpress.com/2011/04/15/obamas-fraudulent-social-security-numbers/

John Jay..."theft by deception" now. . .Please! Your attempting to make a mountain out of a miniscule issue: whether a 1/32 native is true. . . and when are the Nazis Brown Shirts coming did you say?

She(Elisabeth Warren) said it was on her mothers side. . .and back then male chauvinist were providing census information. Woman didn't have the right to vote? Cherokees did live in East Tennessee where her family came from, and they became citizens starting in 1817, assimilating into the Euro/American culture. . .

I sat with Dr. Corsi and he reviewed Obama's SSN check with me: OBAMA FAILED.

Has anyone seen that now Romney will keep parts of Obamacare? The polls show people like parts of it and feel strongly about it. So now Mittens flips again. This man stands for NOTHING and due to your blind hatred for our president, you don't even care. Yup, you're all true patriots. Lmao at the crowd that has no idea who the man is they're voting for, because even HE doesn't know what he stands for.

Mitt has been on multiple sides of so many issues, he could actually debate himself. When Mitt said he was pro-choice in a debate with Sen. Kennedy in 1994, Kennedy remarked that Romeny was "multiple choice."

OCTeaParty is an idiot
Let’s look back on just a little of what has been going on for the past almost 4 years!
1. A budget NO can’t blame the R he had control of both houses for 2 years. (BHO blames BUSH)
2. BHO is new in office let’s go on an apology tour around the world, bowing and washing the feet of the Arab leaders. (The world is amused by this BOZO)
3. Now it time to bail out GM and Chrysler We the people own these loser companies, pay back not yet, special deals for the unions they don’t have to buy Obama care! (But we do)
4. BHO wants to pay back some super pack friends lest give ½ a billon dollars to a solar panel co. (the co. goes belly up we are stuck with the loss)
Do I have to go on? Obama Zombies drink the cool aid to the end I don’t believe anyone especially BHO, history will show that Jimmy Carter was a star next to BHO (and as we all know carter is a disaster)

Gee Paddy, Corsi is Harvard graduate -- and unlike Obama, he was actually able to pass a top secret background check for the U.S. government.

Corsi sold crap books? Really? He certainly SUNK John Kerry when he revealed Kerry used a scratch on his butt to get out of Vietnam. The book the "Late Great USA" outlined the how an illegal treaty was created when President Bush got us involved in the Security Prosperity Partnership...the list goes on.

Thank you for the personal attacks and violating the Patch policy, Ric at
12:58 pm on Sunday, September 9, 2012.

Just last week, in a written answer to science-policy questions posed by "Scientific American" and the AAAS, et al., Governor Romney now has this to say regarding global warming (although he fails to provide any specific guidance on an appropriate policy response, other than supporting additional research funded both by the government and private industry):

"I am not a scientist myself, but my best assessment of the data is that the world is getting warmer, that human activity contributes to that warming, and that policymakers should therefore consider the risk of negative consequences."

See, e.g.: http://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2012/09/06/five_takeaways_from_the_science_debate_106365.html

Left Wing personal attacks directed at me by Left Wing posters? Say it isn't so!

I guess the Koch Brothers will withhold some of their billions if Romney ever so slightly admitted that yes - global warming is happening. I guess he didn't check with them like he usually does before he speaks. Here is a guy who knows nothing about foreign policy either. Here is a guy who wants to pull Planned Parenthood funding and repleal Obamacare but has no plan on how to replace these things. Here is a guy who did a foreign trip and flubbed his way all over Europe, starting with the UK. Here is a guy who made his money on the backs of the middle class as a corporate raider. When his wife boo hooed about her ms diagnosis, someone should have asked her if she had health insurance when she was diagnosed. At least she had health insurance, didn't she or her situation would have been much worse as it is for many Americans with no insurance. And Obama said, if you built your own business, you didn't do it in a vacuum - which is true and his speech, once again was distorted and twisted by the right. The extreme right is UGLY as evidenced right here on the Patch. You people are UGLY

I defy any and/or the first Left Winger that can provide 3 valid law articles written by Obama when he was on the Harvard Law Review. Your submissions will be reviewed by professionals.

Still posting dribble, jennifer? Didn't I teach you a lesson the first time?

Barack Obama is going to be re-elected because the GOP picked an awful, awful candidate to run against him. Willard Mittens Romney is an uninspiring cross between Ward Cleaver & Paris Hilton - an extremely clean-cut trust fund baby who has never had to truly struggle for one day in his life and wants to impose his lifestyle and neo-fascist views on the rest of the country. With his numerous tax hikes on those who can least afford them (the Romneycare individual mandate, toll hikes, increasing the gasoline tax, raising vehicle registration fees, support for a Value Added Tax/VAT at the federal level), he has proven that he can not identify with the challenges that most people have to go through in their lives. His vehement opposition to rights for same sex couples, medicinal marijuana, and hinting at a "war on pornography" proves that he opposes the American way of allowing people to live their lives as they wish.

We all know Mittens has been blessed with an extremely privileged upbringing: advantages which allowed him to attend private school, go to Harvard University, start a venture capital company at a pretty young age, and a stuck-up attitude which made him refrain from ever serving this country in the Armed Forces (ditto for his songs). That's bad enough. But he was so abysmal as MA Governor, he declined to seek a second term because he knew a double digit defeat was imminent, and his seat was turned over to a Democrat for the first time in 16 years.

(continued)

what do you mean by this, you taught her a lesson? Cause you posted a section of the tax code? prove he didn't violate section whatever.... You can't cause even if we had his tax returns you'd have no idea what is in banks overseas, and what sort of income comes from those accounts. So no fella you didn't teach anyone anything but how to be a bully. If Obama has a Swiss bank account the right would be going nuts over it.

John Jay - you are such a RACIST! These questions about the birth certificate and the credentials are just racist. "submissions will be reviewed by professionals." Professional what?? At least you are worth a laugh, if nothing else. Is he a Communist or is he a Nazi? Is he American or is he a Kenyan? Is he a man or is he a muppet? What's next from you crazies?

Romney's government health care plan, dozens of tax hikes, carbon taxes and other irresponsible policies piled on debt, made the state more anti-business, and left his state at 47th place in the nation in overall job creation.

We all know that Obama has been a massive failure during his time in office. But the answer was not to run someone who is equally incompetent to oppose him. By nominating someone as weak as Mittens, it's as if the GOP wanted to lose this year for some reason, From issues as diverse as the tax code, health care, the Second Amendment, the Federal Reserve, the war on drugs, and bailouts (a.k.a. corporate welfare), it's startling just how much the two candidates are in complete agreement. If you're paying close attention to this race, it really does make you scratch your head and wonder what GOP voters were thinking.

I'm a registered Republican. The GOP should have picked a candidate that the entire base could get behind. Instead, they picked a limousine liberal who says and does anything to get votes just like your typical politician, and has nothing going for him other than the ability to self-fund his campaign. He has the same positions and is funded by the same special interests as the current President. It baffles me that so few people are capable of seeing that. I'm sorry, but I see absolutely nothing in Mittens that makes him worth voting for. I can't in good conscience support someone who I know will fail. I'm going third party.

Come on Lefties! Provide 3 genuine law articles Obama wrote for the Harvard Law Review! Here's a link -- I made it easy for you: http://www.harvardlawreview.org/issues/

Still waiting...

Is that the best you can do, jennifer? How does my demonstrating Obama's lack of verifiable documentation equate into racism? I don't know where Obama is from, frankly. So, since I ask about his questionable past, I am a racist.

- Did you ever take a Constitutional Law 101-level class?

Please tell me what law(s) are being broken that prompts your hostile response and personal attacks:
* Title I and Title V of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
* Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA)
* Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII)
* Sections 501 and 505 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
* Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA)
* Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA)
* Civil Rights Act of 1991

There were a number of ways Michelle Obama insulted the intelligence of the American public on Tuesday. Having had her husband previously assert his concept of "you didn't build that yourself", Michelle Obama immediately set off on a journey to try to contradict him. She attempted to show that she and Barack did build it all by themselves by telling the following lies: 1. Michelle said they both came from families which didn't have much. WRONG.

Barack's Grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, was a VP at the Bank of Hawaii who paid for the expensive tuition for Barack and his sister at one of Hawaii's most exclusive private schools. DOUBLE WRONG. A review of Michelle and Barack's tax returns show they were trust fund babies, receiving money from TWO family trusts. 2. She claimed that she and her brother went through college with nothing but student loand and grants. WRONG: Her brother was Craig Robinson. He was the super player on Princeton University's basketball team before he went on to be drafted by the NBA. Sniff! Sniff! I SMELL a whole lot of money in BASKETBALL SCHOLARSHIPS. 3. She asserted that Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Dunham,started working as a bank tellter.and was a victim of the glass ceiling. WRONG. Madelyn Dunham broke the glass ceiling. Obama never told that Madelyn Dunham was one of the first female VP at the Bank of Hawaii. 4. Michelle said that one of the reasons her husband supported the Lilly Ledbetter Act was so that other women would not experience the same discrimination as his grandmother. WRONG AGAIN: As a lawyer, Michelle Obama should know the Lilly Ledbetter Act did not cover promotions and hiring. It only covers equal pay issues. 5. Michelle deliberatly omitted the discrimination that Madelyn Dunham DID face. Madelyn faced discrimination because she was WHITE and not a native Hawaiian.

For example, the Bank of Hawaii was advancing the image of Hawaiian ownership of their bank. Native Hawaiians HAVE LAND rights that no one else in Hawaii has. They receive trust proceeds from the OHA and are allowed to own land in Hawaii unlike other people.

Tea Party: 18% of Americans identify themselves as Tea Party members
58% of them keep a gun, 39% are evangelical, 36% hail from the south (or Ocean City, same difference) 24% say it is sometimes justified to take violent action against the government, (hence the gun, I guess) 53% describe themselves as angry, 29% are 65 or older and 98% are white, 66% say they favor Sarah Palin as their most popular figure. - asked to volunteer what they don't like about Obama, they just say - they just don't like him. 63% say they get all their news from the Fox network. So, my friends, that is my research. But of course, we know these people are OLD, MEAN, NASTY, HATEFUL, ANGRY, RACIST, (my experience is that they are also fat and ugly - but that is just my personal observation)

Too bad your are so inexperienced or maybe your post would make enough sense to contain some facts and not the usual Demorat talking points. I however am everything except fat and also proud to be the rest.

So, Mr. Campbell - out of all those abominable traits - you only are not fat? Good heavens, you are all those other things and you admit it? In that case, why do you call them talking points when apparently - you admit you are all those things? The Republican Party of Reagan is dead and gone. Now the Republican Party is run by the Koch Brothers - they pull the strings and they manipulate the "angry, old, gun toting, resentful, racists, over 65 (on medicare, a government healthcare system, by the way) and use this anger to their advantage. The Reagan Republicans are afraid to speak up in this Republican Party because if they do, they get slammed by the extremists. Good to know that this party will be dead and gone because the percentage of OLD, GUN TOTING, RESENTFUL, SELFISH, WHITE PEOPLE WHO THINK THIS WAY are dying out. Not fast enough for me - but this Tea Party is as irrelevant as its members. Dying out -- good riddance.

"jennifer" -- It's fascinating how a Democrat with no local, state or national position has so much understanding of the inner workings of the Republican Party.

* Could you please explain how you know this information to be true? Did you speak to them? Do you work as a lobbyist?

-- Or perhaps you are simply making another sweeping statement like when:

* You claimed Romney was guilty of tax evasion
* You claimed I am a racist for questioning HOW Obama became President of the Harvard Law review despite the fact he never had a legal article bearing his name -- and certainly didn;t have any academic merits to land him the spot;
* You claimed members of the Republican Party are, quote: "OLD, GUN TOTING, RESENTFUL, SELFISH, WHITE PEOPLE"

So please, astound us with your insider knowledge to Washington D.C. politics, OK?

While we were all debating the cost to our liberty due to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), we were ignoring the cost to our pockets. If there ever was a reason for bipartisan rage about this law, it should be on the twenty - yes, twenty - hidden new taxes of this law. Making matters even more relevant is that seven of these taxes are levied on all citizens regardless of income. Hence, Mr. Obama’s promise not to raise taxes on anyone earning less than $250,000 is just another falsehood associated with this legislation.
The first, and best known, of these seven taxes that will hit all Americans as a result of Obamacare is the Individual Mandate Tax (no longer concealed as a penalty). This provision will require a couple to pay the higher of a base tax of $1,360 per year, or 2.5% of adjusted growth income starting with lower base tax and rising to this level by 2016. Individuals will see a base tax of $695 and families a base tax of $2,085 per year by 2016.

Next up is the Medicine Cabinet Tax that took effect in 2011. This tax prohibits reimbursement of expenses for over-the-counter medicine, with the lone exception of insulin, from an employee’s pre-tax dollar funded Health Saving Account (HSA), Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Reimbursement Account (HRA). This provision hurts middle class earners particularly hard since they earn enough to actually pay federal taxes, but not enough to make this restriction negligible.
The Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Cap, which will begin in 2013, is perhaps the most hurtful provision to the middle class. This part of the law imposes a cap of $2,500 per year (which is now unlimited) on the amount of pre-tax dollars that could be deposited into these accounts. Why is this particularly hurtful to the middle class?

It is because funds in these accounts may be used to pay for special needs education for special needs children in the United States. Tuition rates for this type of special education can easily exceed $14,000 per year and the use of pre-tax dollars has helped many middle income families.
Another direct hit to the middle class is the Medical Itemized Deduction Hurdle which is currently 7.5% of adjusted gross income.

This is the hurdle that must be met before medical expenses over that hurdle can be taken as a deduction on federal income taxes. Obamacare raises this hurdle to 10% of adjusted gross income beginning in 2013. Consider the middle class family with $80,000 of adjusted gross income and $8,000 of medical expenses. Currently, that family can get some relief from being able to take a $2,000 deduction (7.5% X $80,000 = $6,000; $8,000 –$6,000 = $2,000). An increase to 10% would eliminate the deduction in this example and if that family was paying a 25% federal tax rate, the real cost of that lost deduction would be $500.

The fifth new tax on the middle class, and all Americans, is the Health Savings Account (HSA) Withdrawal Tax Hike. This provision increases the additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10% currently to 20% beginning in 2013. This provision actually sets these accounts apart from Investment Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and other tax advantaged accounts, all of which remain with a 10% early withdrawal tax.

Another regressive tax that is part of this law began in 2010 and that is the Indoor Tanning Services Tax, which places a 10% excise tax on people using tanning salons. While some may regard this as insignificant, the broader implication is that this act of taxation is a blatant move by the federal government to control the behavior of citizens. This provision, as does the Individual Mandate and as Justice Kennedy said during the oral arguments on the constitutionality of the law said, “….fundamentally changes the relationship between the federal government and the citizen.”

The seventh new tax that directly impacts the middle class, along with all citizens, is the Excise Tax on Comprehensive Health Insurance Plans or the “Cadillac” Health Insurance Plan Tax. These are plans that provide extensive coverage and that are generally fully paid for, or largely paid for, by employers. This provision imposes a 40% excise tax on the employer-paid premium on taxpayers who are covered by such plans, beginning in 2018. The reason it begins in 2018 is because most unionized workers are covered by plans that fall under this definition and a deferral was made to spare union members from this tax for at least a period of time.

There are thirteen other taxes that apply to businesses and that apply to high income (over $250,000 per year) households. While these additional provisions will not impact the middle class directly, they can have serious indirect consequences for middle and low income earners. Beginning in 2014, the Employer Mandate Tax will impose an annual non-deductible tax on employers with more than 50 employees who do not provide health insurance for their employees.

The impact of this provision on low and middle income earners, and really all working Americans, is that employers will be confronted with three choices. The first is provide some level of health insurance, as many do today, and there would be no impact on employees. The second choice is to pay the penalty, which would most likely be less expensive than providing health insurance, and force employees to seek their own health insurance or purchase it through federal government controlled state exchanges. Studies have estimated that 20 million Americans will lose their employee funded health insurance as a result of this provision and employers electing this option. The third choice is for employers to lay off employees, or not hire additional employees, because Obamacare forces them to either provide health insurance or pay the new tax.

Another new tax, the Tax on Medical Device Manufacturers that begins in 2013, places a 2.3% excise tax on all items retailing for more than $100. This provision will not only drive up the cost of various medical devices ranging from mobility assistance devices to personal testing supplies, but will also impact an industry that employs 360,000 people in 6,000 plants across our country. This tax, while not a direct tax, would have significant negative impact on the middle class.
The Surtax on Investment Income for households earning $250,000 and more, beginning in 2013, will raise the Capital Gains Tax from 15% to 23.8% on investment income for these households and will raise Taxes on Dividends from 15% to 43.4% for the same households. Aside from the impact on retired citizens dependent on dividends, this provision will pull income from the private economy. In addition, the tax rate on Other Investment Income earned by Subchapter S Corporation (which many small business are organized as, allowing the owners to claim all business income as personal income) will rise from 35% to 43.4%. This part of the provision would place additional pressure on small businesses resulting in more layoffs and less hiring, impacting all American workers.
sAll but one of the remaining new taxes in

Obamacare are directed at health industry businesses and while they will not impact middle income families directly, the additional costs will most likely be passed on to the public. The last new tax is really interesting, it is a tax on certain biofuels!
These are the facts. It does not matter if you support Mr. Obama and his new law or if you oppose it, the new taxes on the middle class or real and all Americans should understand their impact on their families and the economy. Citizens, regardless of political beliefs, should recognize that Obamacare was passed with almost no sunlight shined on these middle class tax increases and need to understand that the new law was sold with the promise that there would be no new middle class taxes. This is not partisan, it is simply the reality of politic

I just assumed Forbes would be pro-Dem and wouldn't carry this stuff. Business Insider was a supriose also.

This comment section proves to me that people are not well informed; many are graduates of the Rush Limbaugh school of drug induced lies and big right wing money kickbacks.
When you vote this year it will truly be an historic election, taking the country down one of two entirely different directions. Don't you owe it to your children to learn the truth not found in sound bites, and left/right radio announcers that have their own agenda.

Do you guys realize you are fighting over 2 parties that could care less about you, your kids, your lives, your country?

I am not fighting over any parties -- what I find amazing is how Democrats salute and praise known liars and cheats like Clinton, Edwards, Biden, Obama; etc., etc., etc.

As for not caring -- the biggest positive change one can still make is at the local level. Getting involved on your planning board, school board, city/town council is a sure-fire way to de-rail local and state politicians who are brain-washed by Socialist and Communist propaganda and help enact the nationally inspired insanity.

Robert McKenna, MIKE -- Why did you single out Rush Limbaugh? How come you did not mention any Left Wing talking heads?

Interesting. I posted links and facts. No one can distpute it. Not one person is excempt from these taxes. Taxes arent party specific. They ate on all of us. Do you want more taxe?

I agree with you John, and although I did not give the same attention to the talking heads of the Left as I did Rush Limbaugh... that was only because how famous Rush is, and I don't know the names of the others. I Do Not Listen to any of them. I do not call someone a liar unless I can verify they distorted the truth, and not because I have some ridiculous hatred for one party over another. Emotion does not bode well in good decision making. I must also say I agree with Tom, who believes neither Party cares about us. If the Congress cared about us, they would put a law into effect that says if the deficit goes above 3% GDP, then every Congress person in office would be come ineligible for a second term (Warren Buffet's idea).

I PREFER to gety info from multiple sources

DJGigs, the simple answer is yes I will accept more taxes, if they are balanced with responsible cuts. The Republican Party's biggest mistake was for them all to sign a no tax increase pledge by an unelected blowhard. This pledge did away with the biggest bargaining chip... COMPRMISE. COMPROMISE is essential in government and to think "my way or the highway" is just STUPID. It never ever worked in the past, and it will never work in the future as long as we live in a Democracy. The right for you to have your beliefs, even though contrary to mine, is what has made this country great. I would like to say it is why I fought for this country... But most vets know that altruistic BS goes out the window the moment someone starts shooting at you.

Scary stuff is right Jon J. It is up to all of us to set things straight no matter how much a strangle hold the special-interest groups have on the Congress and the Senate. I'll keep trying but up against a Supreme Court who opened the flood gates to greed and abuse and corporate power to sit the next president... I feel rather helpless.

Robert McKenna, MIKE - The root of the problem is the corruption of our monetary policy and the top-secret way the Federal Reserve is allowed to dictate our monetary policy -- with little to no fear from Congress.

The Federal Reserve basically answers to no one -- total insanity!

@robert sorry taxes should go down.. simply get rid of all the entitlments

I agree John! I believe there is hope for a better government on all levels when I read your stuff and a few others in this long list of commenters. Unfortunately, there are more in the total insane comments' category, than people who can think and make sound judgements without hype, hysteria, and emotional nonsense, that the Left/Right news commentators inflame with their distortions of truth. Insane group because they believe nonsense and drivel as truth.

DJGigs I am probably older and when I went to school they taught real math, then came a period of "New Math" and I think that must be what you were taught. I am kidding of course. However, only if you include military spending and national defense as entitlements could I entertain your idea. Why? Because we would have another revolutionary war. "Let them Eat Cake" has about the same cold hearted ring as do away with all entitlements. The French Revolution was the result. History has shown us time and time again if you do away with the middle class you will have revolution. These are dangerous times when a CEO make 400 times what the average worker makes. Crops failed this year due to drought (Global Warming) and food costs are rising and you say do away with entitlements... does that mean corp welfare too? ie the richest corp in the world Exxon Mobile gets money from taxpayers... WHY???

I suggest you read 3 interesting books from a rather unorthodox writer, Webster Tarpley.

* 9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA
* George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography
* Obama: The Postmodern Coup - Making of a Manchurian Candidate

Tarpley's language is a little colorful--but once you get past it you will see how this fellow figured out the game plan of these people.

Will do John. I am a voracious reader, although I usually avoid reality stuff as reality right now sucks with two political parties that are intransigent in their willingness to compromise, and "we the people" come out the losers.

Get rid of all entitlements? Does that include Medicaid? Medicaid pays for the nursing home care of the elderly with Alzheimers and/or dementia. The residents of the nursing home first have to exhaust all their life savings before they can be eligible for Medicaid to pay for the nursing home which can cost $7,000 a month or much more. Of course Medicaid costs will be reduced if the elderly get a monthly pension payment and by their Social Security payments. Only a complete fool or some billionaire would want to get rid of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

I think I am that type Dem myself. I am a libertarian in many respects according to how I believe about the Constitution, but I am far to the left when we talk about leaving people less fortunate than ourselves to some trickle-down economics. I have been told I am only a libertarian because they don't believe in making laws that do not affect other's freedom, ie "War on Drugs" is insane, and reprehensible, because it is a war on our own family members, often time victims themselves, we spend tax dollars to put them in jail. There I go again off topic. Sorry.

Just heard on the radio that the statements made by Romney yesterday - that he would be keeping the parts of Obamacare that people like - such as coverage for pre existing conditions have been rolled back today. That guy keeps forgetting that he needs to check with his billionaire supporters before he speaks. He keeps getting smacked after he makes these statements and then has to retract them. Yes - good old Mitt is not his own man he is bought and paid for by the Koch Brothers and a couple others. This would be funny to watch if he wasn't lying, oppressing voting rights and trying to buy the election. But he is one little puppet and he just doesn't know what to say from one minute to the next. You have on pathetic candidate there - actually 2 the VP candidate gets caught lying every time he speaks.

It's every man for himself and every woman for the men. Social Darwinism, baby - but not for whites. We will ignore the fact that most beneficiaries of the welfare state are white and instead keep subtly painting a picture of black and brown people dragging us down because that appeals to our basest instincts and keeps us winning elections. And then when we regain power over national policy we will ignore those very voters and get on with policies that favor the very wealthiest (but only in the short term but who cares about 20 years from now!). We'll relegate the goofy, retrograde, viscious social policies to our republican governors and state legislatures so we can feed the anger, hatred, fear, greed and tribalism and we won't get blamed for it. Stick to the plan, my man. Yo

not really fond of either.. will basically be a Eeny, meeny, miny, moe on that day...
HOWEVER, many people are bashing supporting big buisness, Dont you realize that if they are struggling EVERYONE will be. Tired of working hard ( btwn my husband & I work 95 hrs a week) to give to someone else that hasnt worked a hard days work in their lives ... have a hard time voting for someone that thinks GOD is a bad work & while telling us he will take are of us all not even taking care of his own family .... one more thing good point about Clinton that send our jobs over seas... NOW they want to bring them back?? Remeber they work for the same team..

brickmom the typical yenta who gets her political opinions from her husband who gets his opinions from sean hannity and rush limbaugh. i havent heard so much cluelessness about our country until i see your comments every time. clinton presided over 22.7 million non govt jobs created in america . the best economy since world war 2 . in comparison bush jr in the same 8 yrs created a measly 1.9 million jobs. you must love to hear yourself talk. sheesh.who thinks god is a bad word? the guy who had both his daughters baptized or the wealthy guy with the god from a star trek episode. brick mom is the reason is why they should test people before they let them vote.

The Democratic National Convention supporters Obama’s policies seem to support a basic non-negotiable position — namely, that the present economic malaise we find ourselves in is “their” fault, and that “we”
“They” are the haves, and “we” are the have-nots.

In support of this theory, Obama and Democratic supporters have installed the Dodd-Frank financial regulatory act, initiated a universal health insurance initiative, extended benefits to the unemployed and insist that the path to prosperity and full employment can be achieved by raising taxes.

A vibrant economy cannot be achieved by crippling banks, which are necessary to grow and start businesses. The Dodd-Frank bill did nothing to stop the one thing that almost collapsed the system, which is the utilization of credit default swaps.

Universal health insurance does nothing to inhibit runaway health care costs, but does create more governmental agencies to administer it.

Benefit extension does nothing to fulfill the ranks of employment in industries that need workers right now but cannot find workers with the proper skills, such as welding and engine mechanics.

Raising government revenue by increased taxation does nothing but help to pay back to the government the trillions it swamped into the system to stimulate the economy that now languishes on the balance sheets of banks and industries too scared and hampered by regulation to lend it or to expand their business.

Note to Obama Dems: No Country EVER Taxed Itself Into Prosperity!

News Flash: When Republicans swept the House and Senate, the economy took off. That is a documented fact. They were the Clinton-Proof Congress. Bill HAD to play ball!

RE: "frank reynolds 2:38 am on Tuesday, September 11, 2012 brickmom the typical yenta who gets her political opinions from her husband who gets his opinions from sean hannity and rush limbaugh. "

The only reason the REpublicans swept the house in 2010 was because they put up road blocks against Obama's plan to help the economy and they sacrificed the American economy in that endeavor. These people have no scruples, no integrity Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, Mith McConnel -have no qualms about telling blatant lies and using those lies to dupe the public. But no matter, Eleanor, John Jay - you are as irrelevant as the Republican Party. The RP does not represent this country anymore. It is a sliver of white people who blame the poor for their problems - who are anit women, anti gay, anti middle class. The poor have no power - it is the super rich who have the lobbyists and make the rules that have put the middle class in a downward spiral. But the RP is almost extinct in spite of their lies, their manipulations to keep their heads above water. They are a dying party and thankfully Eleanor and John Jay and those of that ilk, will die out with them.

And on Sept 11, we should remember that the Republicans were in office when they were warned that there was a major attack planned against the U.S. and they ignored that warning. Then they used that attack and the 3000 deaths in NY as an excuse to go into Iraq - because there was no reason to go into Iraq and cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraq people and American soldiers. Today, everyone should remember what the Republicans - Bush, Chaney, Rumsfeld, Rice did when they could and never give the Republicans a chance to do something like that again. And could Romney? Yes because he is nothing but a puppet and has no character of his own.

simple Anti God is anti American... NOT that I Love Romney, But Michelle O is making my vote easier..
Dont know to many working class people that are better of ( or even the same) then they where 4 ys ago.
wish Rudy Giuliani ran but the rest of the US couldnt handle real truth...

I already moved my $$ to offshore sites. America is screwed ! Obama will go down in history as one of the worst presidents in history. Hey Obama > can you help me out ?? I just moved 3 million of my hard earned money out of the US. I only left $2,500 in my checking. Im poor now, can you help me Mr President ??? Please ?? Can you help me like you help all of the other degenerates ???

Anti-vote is anti American. Voter suppression is anti American. And are we better off. Yes. The financial system was in a free fall The stock market went down to 7000 and now it is again above 13000. You r real fools if u want to go back to the policies that caused this mess. Anctonio, why don't u move off shore with your millions?

Spooner -- Which party controlled Congress in his first term and who controlled Congress after 1995. You need to understand some basic facts historical and political facts:

* 1994 U.S. midterm elections: Republicans sweep the House (54 seats) and Senate (8 seats).
* Gingrich became Speaker of the House
* 20 state legislatures fell under Republican control

While Clinton DID have veto power, the Republicans across the nation held him in check.

Frankly, I think Gingrich and the Republican leadership really missed many opportunities to ensure their domination in the Congress and across the nation. There were so many wasted opportunities that could have prevented the disaster that is the Obama Administration.

RE: Spooner 10:44 am on Thursday, September 13, 2012 "Bill had to play ball" I don't think so. . .Clinton stood up to them for one...and Newt wasn't the ideologue as others like to portray them as, when it came to wheeling and dealing in the House. Clinton became more popular: garnering 5% & 3 M more votes in 1996 over 1992, and the conservative wave appeared to have abated, when Ross Perot got less than 9% of the popular vote as a third party candidate in 96, versus 19% in 92."

And to think many Democrats were furious over Reagan's wife's dress code
and her wild spending ... that bias political attacks were clearly because she
had her own money and gifted by many supporters ... Michele and Barrack
Hussein Obama along with huge economic conditions has chosen to spend
most of his time campaigning on a lost run for reelection ... who dumb do
the Democrats think we well educated and career success folks who built our
businesses on our hard work and effort ... not a dime from the huge handouts

Obama did no apologize for what happened. U bought the latest fabrication but since u r focussed on obama's middle name and his race, u obviously want to buy the bs Romney is selling. Romney's conduct in this crisis is reprehensible. Not to mention that he has shown himself to be a buffoon. But since u r obviously a bigot and racist nothing else really matters. Does it.

OOOOOOPS FORGOT IT IS BUSHES FAULT ...
FOUR YEARS OF BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA AND

Big tip for all those capitalistic cannibals. Goldmen Sacks says "we consider water to be the petroleum fro the next centure". The global water crisis and how you can profit from it is the mags cover read. You cannibals are going to hell and unfortunately I'm going for the ride along side you. I can only pray God punishes us all severely and all across the globe. We deserve it.

Since they asked, I plan to vote for Obama. My five year plan is to be laid-up up on some sort of work related injury and I'm not sure the money for the lawsuit will be enough to keep me in the lifestyle I've become accustom too. I may need some form of supplement from the government to pay for my medical marijuana. To help ease the pain and suffering.

@ Stinger Just make sure you write thank you cards to ALL of us that support You

@ Jennifer. Because i live here.

makem think not our fault - is the black and brown's fault - keep saying they are lazy sponges sapping us of our chances of becoming extraordinaryily wealthy, not my fauilt...I am just one break away from being one percenter...blacks and browns blocking that...not my fault-liberal enablers of blacks and browns - hate hate fear fear - yeessssss....ahhhhhhhhh

Shouldn't you have to pass a drug test to get a welfare check since i have to pass one to earn it for you ? Im so tired of these degenerates being catered to by the Democrats.

You Said It Joshua. I have no problem with >>> angry minorities; welfare recipients; illegal Aliens; dependent Single Mothers; and drug addicts. Just dont charge me for it ! LMAO what a joke. This country has some balls taking my $$ to support losers. GET A JOB ! Oh Wait there arent any !!!!

Obama is Ghetto . Period !

Dude, I heard the GOP kill kittens for fun.

Obama 2012

movado by the way the swiss banker who blew the whistle on 34,000 americans who were hiding their money in offshore accounts have all just paid $20 billion in back taxes or face jail. i wonder if they got mittens on that list and if your werent talking out of your ancient immigrant ass you too would be getting the rubber glove treatment by the irs. imagine antonio's embarrassment when they kick down the door to his basement and discover all those nazi helmets and swastika flags as well as all that german porn. if you truly have cheated on your taxes movado you better start practicing to know how to wash your new cell mate's drawers

he is a guns and jesus hayseed who admits he lives in the middle of the woods by himself. his resume plays like every grade b horror movie cabin in the woods script. he is an immigrant who hates all immigrants all of who to him are illegal. someone should check his green card and that shallow grave site in the woods behind his cabin.

John Jay- Clinton used his veto power(no ball playing), when he deep sixth the 1996 Gingrich Republican spending budget: cutting Medicare, education, the environment, and public health, causing the government to shut down. . . and went on to win reelection the next year by a greater margin as I said. . .it's still about arithmetic( 1996 Electoral Vote:379 to 159)

I love this comment thread. "My freak is better then your freak." What a debate! LOL

Four years ago, President Obama promised a deficit cut in half and unemployment drastically reduced. He had a House and Senate of his own party and stated that if he couldn’t get the job done in four years, he didn’t deserve to be re-elected.

In the last four years, our national debt has increased to more than $16 trillion. Unemployment is over 8 percent for 43 straight months, and approximately 8 percent of U.S. citizens are getting welfare benefits, including food stamps. The bailed-out auto industry still has to pay taxpayers back. Food, fuel and gasoline costs are at record highs, along with the overall cost of living.

The American taxpayers are being squeezed to empty. Almost half of the citizens don’t even pay federal income taxes, further burdening the other half. Small businesses are closing up or struggling mightily to survive.

The national health care mess still isn’t explaining where the money is coming from to pay for it. The Congressional Budget Office projects a national debt of more than $20 trillion during the course of another four years of President Obama.

While this is happening, Obama has used his local and national speaking opportunities to make fluff speeches with no true substance, to throw blame away from himself, which is where it belongs.

Four years ago, he promised hope and change, but has only delivered pandering and blame. The time has come to send President Obama back to community organizing before our economy slumps to its worse debt in history.

Remember, he himself stated he doesn’t deserve to be re-elected if he fails. The numbers and facts are not lying. President Obama has failed the people of this country.

back N forth ... back n forth... there will always be strong & maybe good points on both views.. BUT remember this, Obama won by 54%
I personally know many people that voted for him JUST becauses they wanted to see the 1st black Prez. We will see if he EARNED being there or not ... But Pretty sure that # of people that voted for him strickly for his race was higher then 5%, funny that if that was the other way around People would be marching somewhere that it was racism...

Cusrious what side the whit folks that vote for obama are going to vote for the white or black side

@ Ric... What glitter said was dead on the truth. I was deployed in Iraq last election & over heard ALOT of conversations both white & black men discussing MOST young black men where votes ( & proudly saying) that they are voting for Obama strictly because of his race.. ( had no idea about his believes or policies when asked about them) YET I was called Racist for Not agreeing with them to vote for someone ONLY because of the color of their skin...

@onlythe truth. I am glad you survived that war – I support our troops but I feel that Dubya and Cheney were wrong for putting us there. Middle Easterners will be killing each other even to the day of the end of the world.
Are you saying Mormons won’t vote for Romney? Are you saying white southerners will vote for blacks? Who did Catholics and Irish-Americans vote for between Kennedy and Nixon?. The person posing as John Jay made it clear he will only vote for a white. So what if blacks vote for blacks? A lot of whites will only vote for whites. They should vote for the candidate and not the complexion. But that is not the way it happens so you cannot complain about one group and ignore the others.

Ric your missing the point.

Hey DJ- here's some more food for you to digest when you talk about Obama's campaign promises...

Of course the left continues to play dirty and lie
Something we have always suspected - the Dems can't win discussing policy so they sling personal attacks, sleazy innuendo and character assassination on their opposition. The Daily Caller affirms this tactic with another one of those "hot mike" moments where a Liberal Super PAC manager spills the beans...

"According to an audio recording obtained by The Daily Caller, Matthew “Mudcat” Arnold, the national campaign manager of the liberal CREDO super PAC, told a gathering of supporters in Aurora, Colo., on Sept. 8 that they’ve realized “policy did not move voters.”

He used Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King as an example.

“When we said that Steve King … is pro-life and believes in cutting Social Security and voted for the Ryan budget, no one cared,” Arnold said. “When we said Steve King’s a racist, Steve King believes that immigrants ought to be put in electric fences, people moved.”

“When you talk about the substance of a man’s character, people respond,” Arnold continued. “Believe it or not, that is not something politicians knew.”

Thanks Mudcat -- We ALL know now.

I knew these 4 brothers once. The two "smartest ones" would whisper or shout to each in the other of the other "dumber brothers". Ya follow? Well they'd whip the two dummies into a fighting each other furiously as one or the other of the "smarter" brothers snuck into rob their banks and steal their Easter candy. Well, more often then not the comotion of the fighting brought Dad a running mad hot for big boys fighting in his house he worked so hard fixing up. He naturally beat the fighting two. Dad was curious and wondered what all the constant fighting was really all about. Dad thought better of them and suspected foul play. He spied on his sons and found the treachery of the "smart" boys. Man did those boys learn a lesson that day and the hard way. you follow?

Manure Spreader for Sale

FIFTY YEAR OLD MANURE SPREADER - $1 (WASHINGTON, DC)

Fifty-year old manure spreader. Not sure of brand. Said to have been produced in Kenya. Used for a few years in Indonesia before being smuggled into the US via Hawaii. Of questionable pedigree. Does not appear to have ever been worked hard. Apparently, it was pampered by various owners over the years. It doesn't work very often, but when it does it can sling shit for amazing distances. I am hoping to retire the manure spreader this November. I really don't want it hanging around getting in the way. I would prefer a foreign buyer to relocate the manure spreader out of the country. I would be willing to trade it for a nicely framed copy of the United States Constitution.

Location: Currently being stored in a big white house in Washington, D.C

Some of these folks commenting are purely scary. (Excuse me, but I was unaware that our ambassador was "sodomized.") Bob Dee, you whack! And where in the world did you get your other statistics? I hate to tell you but Obama is leading - a good lead right now so you best put away your white hood and just resign yourself to the reality that we will have 4 more years of Pres. Obama. Gov. Romney this week lied AGAIN to the American people about what happened in the middle east. He has really gone over to the dark side but anyone who is a corporate raider resides in the dark side anyway. Romney will be wiped out in the debates because he may be a schemer but he knows he cannot stand up to the truth and he is simply not as smart as Obama. His scheme worked at Bain, but it's not working in this campaign. And since his campaign is a disaster, guess he surrounds himself with pretty dumb counselors too. Paul Ryan is a real problem too - a liar who looks really uncomfortable lying. His political career is over and so is Romney's and maybe the end of the REpublican Party altogether!

Jennifer, don't be blind, deaf or dumb. They all lie. Don't make Obama out to be a saint. He lies, he schemes, he manipulates just like every politician. Obama leading? Depends which poll you look at, but don't bother because they'll keep on changing. I know I can't financially afford another 4 years of this. I'm not impressed with the president's handling of the current situation either. Either way, there's going to be a lot of angry people in November, but I really want to give someone else a shot at fixing this mess. Fact is, as difficult as it is to admit, Obama's not the guy. We can't all be good at everything. He's not a good president.

As an aside, I wish the media would shut up too. Tired of all their lying, slanted, inflammatory bs. Sometimes I wish we went back to an hour of news at 6 and lay off all these news people.

Obama apologizes for hurting the feelings of radical islamist's...what a flippin joke this guy is! He's gonna need 20 million illegal aliens to vote for him to win OR maybe another country like, say,,,Spain count our votes. Obama's like an old rifle,,he don't work and ya can't fire him. GOD help us!

Ok, I'm going out on a limb here, but I kinda got kicked out of my mother's basement and am sort of in-between-jobs right now. I was wondering if any of my fellow Dems. would be willing to put me up for a while, maybe loan me a few hundred bucks just till I get back on my feet. Don't worry, I'm good for it, I have a Master’s degree and will take care of you once I find a job that will pay me what I'm worth.
Obama 2012

Obama did NOT apologize - that is just Romney's desperate attempt to get the hawks on his side since Obama has been so tough on terror in his administration. Since Romney is catering to the extreme right, who knows what he really thinks or if he thinks at all. He is bought and paid for by the Koch Brothers so he will be beholding to them. Yes, the system is bad but the since the Republicans are trying to take away the reproductive rights of women in this country, and they will not address the real issues (has Romney ever answered a question concerning taxes, medicare, healthcare?) He wants to repel Obamacare and has offered nothing in its place. You cannot go with a guy like this and this party. He has moved so far right that it is not feasible for him to win. Of course in OC he is ahead. Republicans rule in OC - it is an OLD crew and the young ones are resentful of the minorities and full of anger. OC is not the US - it is backwoods Kentucky at its worse. And why go back to the policies that got us into this depression/recession. 8 years of Bush and the spending Republicans (including Paul Ryan who voted for every bit of spending that Bush wanted.) No - you are kidding yourselves if you think Romney is a man of the people. He is a man of the super rich and could care less if Stinger gets a job.

Obama's been apologizing since he took office! THEY will not address the REAL issues? LOL! Obama is throwing this crap out there to avoid talking about the REAL issues! How about a budget?

Dems lost the congressional majority for a reason. Better wake up and realize that there is far more at stake than free birth control for women in this country.

Mittens does not know what he thinks day to day so how do any of his
supporters know? They only thing Obama has to apologize for is the country
letting Bachman and Mittens out of their cages

What do the 2008 election stats have to do with my post, Spooner? I said we elected a mysterious figure to the presidency. There is a lot we don't know about the guy, and a lot that people have come to dislike about him ... election results notwithstanding. If 53% of the popular voter and 365 electoral voters like the results, then I guess we'll have four more years.

He is certainly creating a vacuum in world leadership that will be filled by unsavory regimes. It's better to promote liberty and freedom than to allow repression to spread unchallenged.

Ric,
I took your advice and asked a couple of republicans; they, they called me names and hurt my feelings.
One said I was a pathetic loser and needed to get off my a@$ and take charge of my own destiny. The other told me to get a life and stop thinking the world owes me something just because I’m in it.
They’re bad people Ric, BAD, BAD, BAD.
Then I went to my therapist to talk about it, but she wouldn’t see me because I’m not on my mother’s health plan anymore. To top it all off while typing this I just got a text that my smart phone plan is due to expire in a few days.
Ric, what do I do now; I don’t think I can make it to November?
Obama 2012

The Middle East is on fire! Obamas foreign policy is in ruins, Hey team Obama I got two words for ya,,,"Predator Drones!".."They'll never see it coming." Instead of using drones on American's why don't you launch a few over the uprisings? You can blame it on a youtube video. On the first debate Romney should offer a vote of no confidence and toss the amateur incumbent!

Monk- last comment: you portend to speak for the nearly 69.5M people who voted for Obama. . .which is it. . .megalomania or omniscience that gives you this insight into people...They could care less about your unsupported views. Obama will get less votes most likely this time around. . .the reason being "the economy" Will he lose. . .well the way Romney is running his campaign, isn't helping him? The guy is a goof off. . .go back to being a Fuller Brush salesman. . .

...and a vacuum in world leadership. . .do you know we have over a $16Trillion deficit. part of that deficit has to do with money spent aboard...like consulates and embassy security and protection...not to mention the prosecution of wars. . .I know... just send in the Marines?

Hey bob dee. The middle east is not on fire. It was on fire when bush and Chaney invaded Iraq though. For no reason but that Halliburton wanted their oil and Chaney is Satan. And yes. OC is like Alabama or deep woods Kentucky where people are kind ignorant and backward. Sorry. Not a cosmopolitan enclave for sure. Remember the committe to preserve OC? A bunch of stooges. And suggesting that Obama drop bombs on those in the middle east who are protesting - typical Republican answer. You been in touch with the tea party queen, Sarah Palin? Another uneducated, uninformed hick.

We are missing the big picture, i think. No one man or party will save us from ourselves. We are supposedly a country split down the middle and collapsing because of it. We only find faults with others and not looking for solutions. One side wants darwin theory of survival of fittest and other may want to go a bit more ant evolution in a good sort of way. This is the vote we have before us. Will we humble ourselves for the good of us all? Or fight each other till the bitter end? Wars are great for reminding us how "great" and what "winners" we truly are. It also reminds us that we are too big for our britches. We should be taking test on subjects on line to be qualified to have a vote on all major subjects. Facebook like voting. Be we aren't grown up or educated enough for that. Are we in this together or is it every man for himself? That is the question at hand.

I hear ya George,,I've never seen the Country so divided, How do you suppose it got that way?

If I learned anything from the hundreds of comments I just read, it is the alarming amount of disinformation and the more daunting amount of people who believe the disinformation (BS) spewing forth in the form of sound bites, usually taken out of context, by the mean spirited mouthpieces on talk radio. The truth can always be found if you are willing to spend the time and do the OBJECTIVE research. In my experience, the elected officials all do whatever the hell they want, based on who is kicking back the most money. Even so, the government is so large that nothing changes right away. It takes years, and dedication, to accomplish anything. The people know what needs to be done, but if the mouthpieces keep us fighting among ourselves, it will be the business as usual. Phony baloney business.

I would not limit disinformation to "talk radio" I would expand it to ALL of the main stream media.

Absolutely, BobDee you are correct.

I found this poem. Think it's any good?
Poetic parable of the red Amazonian ants
I wonder if many know of this crafty red species
That makes another black one clean up its feces
Bring them food and tend to their babies
They don’t even let them have ladies
The reds don’t work much except to give the orders
The blacks toil in the reds kingdom trapped in their borders
Never knowing they’ve been deceived
I wonder if they’d be relieved
To find out the truth of their plight
How when they were in the egg their was a fight
The reds took their army of mostly black drones
To raid another kingdom’s thrones
The peaceful blacks did fight back
But I think the reds’ venom do they lack
The black kingdom fell and their babies were taken
Only to be slaves the reds keep making
Maybe God wants us all
To keep learning how to make other kingdoms fall
But I think we’ve taught ourselves this quite well
For it does make our egos swell
To know our kingdom is the best
Because it gives no other kingdoms rest
To keep up their defenses they must
No other kingdom can they trust
I wonder if God’s gavel fell
Would all those reds ants go to hell?

hate hate fear ignorance win doesn't matter how - not my fault - blame blacks and browns...fear, bitter, others others others no no no - poor are lazy sponges nevermind the children or that most are white esp becasue the poor whites also blame backs and brown, hate hate, be afraid, others to blame keeping me from being rich rich, rich rich rich and then..........uhhhhh rich! What else? Charity will handle needy (who are bums, again)...forget what Jesus said on this particular subject esp between 11 AM Sunday and 9 AM the following Sunday - especially forget Sermon on the Mount...its about money money money - the least among us are sponges and dragging me down....others are evil - especially the furners.....and the ones here - the immigrants except our parents and grandparents. Get rid of them. Including the MIT PhDs. We don't need to your tired and poor and brilliant and talented because we have the strongest military. Not socialism, nor is social security, medicare, public schools and universities, center for desease control FDA EPA FHA not socialism - government bad should do this essential stuff at state and local level becasue state and local government is not government....fear, hate, blame, ignorance, anger, menace, now now now now now uhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhh

thank you ID of R....most revelatory and convincing entry in string....

All I can say is thats why America is so womderful becauses we can all have diffrenct views even if yours is wrong !

I'm with Aronson - Id of r brought it all home: Brilliant.

Id brought it home? Or is ID heading for home? He speaks of Jesus as if he was leading the way? Lol. And so he should in my humble opinion. But what of our Jewish and Muslim "brothers"? Do they come in deceit to kill the foolish "loving and trusting" christians? Are there really and religious people left in this country or world? I'll go and ask them. If they kill me for asking them, then we will know our true enemies? Since both and all three religions have sprung from old testament creeds like Deuteronomy 20 12 and on, whom can we truly trust? just asking. Just my curious opinion.

I'm voting for the guy who is least likely to send America into another war and that's Obama. i'm pretty sure Romney is very likely start a new war in the Middle East. Target is most likely to be Iran. While Obama believes in diplomacy, Romney will launch an attack. This will drive gas prices up and also hurt the economy in further. The US will be able to handle another war, but it will make life even tougher for all of us. i don't know about you, but i live on a fix income.

Romney is coming unglued and we're seeing inside him. Americans don't like what they see. He's not a leader. He's not that smart. He's a little man bent on becoming president and that just isn't good enough.

Americans wanted Obama. They got him. He's not perfect. But he's not Romney. We'll have him again because Obama has BECOME a GREAT President.

Romney does not have that ability and his ego stands in the way of changing. Sorry, Mitt, you don't get my vote.

"4 real" when you call someone a moron at least spell the word right . moran is a guy who owns an irish bar. and bobby dee obama hasnt apologized to anyone if he did you would have provided the quote by now but instead you would rather pull any non fact out of your rear end instead. there really should be an IQ and literacy test for a lot of people on this thread before they allow them to vote. those like johua who not only voted for bush twice but even voted for sara palin in 2008 . funny how joshua was off planet for the 2000 decade because for many americans bush getting a second term was beyond unthinkable.yes joshua its "bad form " to destroy good american companies and ship american jobs to china and then hide the profits in swiss banks.actually its unamerican. bad form is when you dont call your shot while playing pool.

"so much to say" you should change your name to "too much to say." yes obama is a terrorist who killed bin laden, khaddaffy, anwar alwki and most of al queda . its a secret plot he has to kill all the terrorists so obama can take over al queda. ok now i,ve told you the secret plan you can put your tin foil hat back on now.

Listen, you all have it wrong... The Middle east and the current Admin connection...
While we are distracted over domestic policy and frivoluos arguing over the little things we are being taken over from within. People keep saying, "This administration has no clue how to create jobs, how to deal with foreign policy, how to honor American traditions, etc.. The real answer is, they no exactly what they are doing right in front of the medias eyes and our eyes, we are being eliminated as a super power systematically, lever by lever, switch by switch, button by button. Please read this article/opinion factual breakdown as to what is going on and what has led up to this current planned Middle east chaos. Guess who has his fingers all over this chilling breakdown in the Middle east !

http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/09/obama_destabilized_the_middle_east_on_purpose.html#ixzz26fpcUF8p

So lets get this straight . OBAMA has only one thing going for him . the popular vote. He would not win becuase of his smarts, policy's ability to create jobs , bail the country out . So far this guy has only one thing going for him. young liberal minded weaklings who go against anything that would be considered a stance against anyone. This guy does best with his telepromter and making speeches. He absolutley has no clue how to lead a group let alone a country . His Asisstance into attacking Libya without even consenting congress is a blatent act of treason . Even though you have every lib attacking bush for going into iraq he still went to congress LIVE on tv and informed and asked about how everyone felt about going into iraq and possibly other ME countries to get Bin Laden . And who has now taken Credit OBUMER!!! . If he was on duty when we got attacked he probabaly would of apologized and said it was our fault , Now this guy has shown Weakness to these pull starters and they find that as a sign of weekeness. These guys understand one thing only KILL in the name of there religion . In Regards to teh rest of you on this board who say Romney is going to start a third war. THERE was a third war started already Libya and it was done by Obumer. The next war will not be started by the USA it will happen because of conflicts happening over seas. we wil have no choice but to get involved

lol Bush did not ask how people felt about going into the Middle East, when he was told (before going into Iraq) that Hussein had no connection to 9/11 or Bin Laden's whereabouts he told Powell quote on quote "to find one". In fact, that was kind of a big story when it came out too I'm surprised you missed it with your head so far up your ass.

Don't get me wrong, every president has their faults. But don't think for a second that Bush didn't plan on going to the Middle East from day one. AND if you want to callout a WW3, it did not start in Libya, it started on 9/11, and the first 8 years we attacked the wrong people. Bush had 8 years of tracking the guy down in two wrong countries, so yeah Obama can get the credit for that in my book.

Pakistan and Iran are the threats, we went into Afghanistan and Iraq for the wrong reasons, but also to do some good, and we did that, but we made them our unwanted step children for the next 20 years as well. People bitch about Obama caring for the poor and people don't want to 'take care of others' and why should my taxes go to this or that person, at least they are Americans. The Repubs got us spending our money and lives on several other countries doing the exact same thing now on non-Americans lol oh... and they outsource our jobs.

mgh , I guess you are not from the north east . I guess you do not watch tv. There was a vote and every one in congress and the house voted unanimously to go to iraq . You must be very young Obviously you are drinking the Oabam koolaide. you must not even support yourself. OR you are a UNION member or as I like to call them a TAX WORKER . And OBAMA getsd no credit becuase we would have not been there if it wasnt for GWB . God bless that guy becuase this Anti american MUSLIM president has only one thing in mind and that it to take america down

On false information (we had nukes and connections to Bin Laden). Hell, Bush had a bigger connection to Bin Laden (well, his family) than Hussein did lol.

And your rash identification of me is pretty far off, I barely believe in the idea of unions, I think they are mostly corrupt and I have never worked for one, I work in the legal field as a matter of fact and actually pay a higher tax than most Americans do and you know what... I do not mind.

Obama is not a Muslim, you wouldn't know a Muslim or an Arab for that matter if it hit you in the face. Have you ever been over to the Middle East? Or outside of America in general aside from cruises or vacations down south? And just because you watch Fox News 100% does not mean you watch tv and I don't lol.

PS Where was Bin Laden? Pakistan lol that's right, aka not a country Bush got us 'in'.

I'm not getting into this anymore with you either lol we can argue on the intelligence of our leaders back and forth and get no where, but to actually think Obama is a Muslim, I have to draw the line to any intellectual debate there. I half expect you're going to tell me creationism has a place in schools next. I'm sorry man, have a good day.

NiHoMa I agree with you. By all indications, Mitt will start yet another war in the Middle East and have no way to fund it. He is a carbon copy of GB. "Support Our Troops" by giving tax cuts. How do we as Americans support our troops by cutting taxes? Where is our commitment? History told us about the whole country rationing items for the war effort of WW2. Since 1990, the companies like Raytheon, aircraft manufacturers, and weapons manufacturers are doing well. Meanwhile, all-volunteer military sends our poor and disadvantaged, the only kids who join, off to battle. Only a hand full of Politicians went to fight, and even less of their children, unlike Vietnam. And mgh1115, I also agree with you. DJGigs is trying to re-write history.

"Robert McKenna, MIKE's" comment about only "poor and disadvantaged" fight in battle is crock.

Here's the real answer with the data: "Fact: Military recruits mirror the US population and are solidly middle class. A recent report shows that more recruits come from middle income families, with far fewer drawn from poorer families (Figure 2). Youth from upper income families are represented at almost exactly their fair share." (Source: http://www.defense.gov/news/Dec2005/d20051213mythfact.pdf)

By the way, here more information the proves the crock by "Robert McKenna, MIKE":

"Continuing the pattern from Desert Storm, African Americans remain under-represented among casualties in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Through November 5, 2005, African Americans represented about 17 percent of the force, yet accounted for 11 percent of deaths. On the other hand, whites accounted for 67 percent of the force, and suffered 74 percent of deaths. The corresponding numbers for Hispanics were 9 and 11 percent.

"This pattern results from occupational choices young people make. For example, African American youth choose to serve in support occupations such as the health care field, which tend to feature valuable job training over bonuses or education incentives. These are the choices young volunteers make."

RE: "Meanwhile, all-volunteer military sends our poor and disadvantaged, the only kids who join, off to battle." --Robert McKenna, MIKE

Mallaby Marlowe -- You are a liar. The paper is directly from DoD and not World Net Daily.. If you bothered to do RESEARCH instead of spewing bunk, maybe you'd learn something.

John Jay you are certainly entitled to be on the side of an all-volunteer military. However, I devoted one sentence to that, while pointing at our country's lack of support for the troops. As a Vietnam vet I know we had a more representative cross-section of Americans to serve, due to the draft. The country did not support us then but at least the country was up-front about it. Today we say, "Thank you for your service." In reality we should say, "Thank you for your service because while you were gone, I got your job, a tax cut, and except on Memorial day or remembering 9/11. I don't think about you people who bought into the hype about serving the Country, The GI Bill, VA Benefits, Hosp coverage, and other under funded programs that you will spend indefinite amounts of time fighting for, because the government employees, don't care about you the vet. Mallaby Marlowe, your right some poor people didn't join, but it is the only way out for many poor and minority kids. Kids who want to do better than their parents or make their parents proud. Those youths don't have choices like middle America. Private High Schools, and Harvard, are not looking for those youths. And if you ever served, you would know there is just as much honor being an Army cook as Ranger, or being a Ship's mechanic, as a SEAL. It is about BOOTS ON THE GROUND. Race has nothing to do with a well-oiled fighting machine, as is our military.
