RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

This coming from a guy that thinks Biden is brilliant.......

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

No it is nothing like that at all.

First you got the 4% solution....grow GNP by 4% per year. It worked for Clinton. He had 3.8% GNP growth rate.

and

then Romney's 5 point economic plan.

1)energy independence by 2020
2)improve education system for our children
3)open new foreign markets with trade agreements
while not letting the China cheat
4)cutting and capping FED spending that is a drag on the economy.
5)champions small business with less government regulation

They work together. They have worked in the REP run states....like Wisconsin, Florida, Ohio....

Viola 12m new jobs in 10 years.

700,000 coming the new Navy Ships builds. 100,000 of the from the expended oil and natural gas programs. 100,000 from offshore developments.Like 200,000 new jobs in the military. Someone has to sail those new ships.



Show us a Obama economic plan that is even close to that? He has been there for 4 years.....eventually you would think the twiddling fingers would get tired and the doodling would get old.

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

I quote in CAPITOLS, the former Gov of the State of Florida.....Jeb Bush.

"SO YOU WERE DEALT A DIFFICULT HAND, QUIT BLAMING OTHERS!"

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

Force Obama to fall? No one forced him fail. He has done it all by himself.Mitt Romney said last night...."He wanted Obama to succeed, so America would succeed." I think most REP fit into that catagory of thinking. He had a 70% approval after the 2008. 30% of that was REP.

Once the REP gained control of the house in 2010, they went to him with budgets and ideas to get the economy moving again. Then the Bols
deficit bi partizans committee, that he made in a State of Union.
When it gave its report. He did nothing. Ryan was on the committee and met religiously with them.

He has a job commission. He does not attend a meeting for the last 6 months.

REP cannot hog tie the President and sit him in his desk to work.....that is why Eastwood did the empty chair skit....now you are getting how a old Man made a young President look foolish.

He has had his 4 years to get things done and he has many opportunties to them. Now is the time to turn a new page.

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

I really don't care who the secret speaker of the DNC is Dude. It can be Putin or Assad for I all care. They are just copying the GOP in using one.

Do you think that the Styrafoam columns are going to be up in Charlotte or is the back drop is going the share cropper's cabin?


You have been telling us to "wait" since January 20th of 2008. 69 day are left in 'waiting' and then a new man comes to the office of the Presidency.

Like Romney said last night. "Something is wrong when the best feeling you have is the day you voted for Obama and every day since has been worse."

IND and disillusioned DEM flocked to him on that note.

So wait longer? The waiting games is over. Obama has 69 days to do a economic miracle with the unemployment. 23.5m unemployeed adults are not waiting any longer. They are voting soon......

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

I thought Romney was suppose to be cruel to children and stray animals, Dude? He placed that dog in a car carrier and placed him on the roof of his car. Who cruel is that! That is how you protrayed him in the past.

Suddenly we see a man writing the will of a dieing 14yo boy. Bringing him the fireworks for eventful night prior to his death. We see a man that closes his office down, so they could search New York City for a staffer's lost and runaway daughter....and found her! We see a man that attended and prayed in a ICU for a premature baby and her mother. Then 26 years later, when the child dies....contacts the parents to give condolences.

That is not a different REP than what you paint? REP do this kind of human services all the time. We just don't make front page news of it.

People were crying at these stories of Mitt Romney, Dude. Tears were on their cheeks as learned more about him.

So play the nasty game on him. The more you do, the better he looks.

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

Maybe Obama visited bin Laden's compounds (not the Abottsabad compound that was not made until 2007) in 1981 when he when to Pakistan to hunt birds (if you believes that, well there is little hope for you).
And he knew all along that bin Laden was there. Or maybe in 1987 to visits his mother.

But my instincts are saying the Obama visits to Pakistan has alot to do with the national crop of Afghanistan.

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

Do you think that Roger the Dogger Moore is going to speak at the DNC?

What a stage filling moment that is going to be......... Chris Mathews will not trembling up his leg when that happens.....but will have earth quakes........

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

I owuld say that old Cliff locked in the 16m senior votes for Mitt Romney Dudester.....only President Obama can find elderly DEM with his status and respect in the community.

Hmmm.....maybe old Roger the Dogger Moore can make him self a senior. hmm no he would not work. Ummmm how about George Clooney? nah....Sarah Jessica Parker? Nah.....Kobe Byrant? Nah.

No, the very best man for the Senior vote is.....VP Joe Biden.......Mr. Gaff master and Goffus himself. The very guy that McCain recommended to Obama to be tossed under the bus for Hillary Clinton.

Like I said grandfather Romney has a lock on the senior vote. That is not even talking the 716b taken from their medicare.

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

When Romney was Governor of MASS....he made 44 campaign promises during the campaign. One the first day of tkaing office he assembled his cabinet and in front was a board with the 44 Campaign promises, on post it notes

He looked at them and said....'this is what we are going to do in the next 4 years'. When they they accomplish a promise the note was taken off the board....by the end of his term.....no notes were on the board.

It is not rocket science to run well managed government. Obama make it look so hard and difficult to do.

How many post it notes do you think Obama can take off his board of campaign promises of 2008?

GITMO? DEBT Reduction? Reduced unemployment? Better education Systems?
Better health care system? Prosecution of GITMO detainees? Out of Iraq?

The promises have been on the board of the White House so long now that the ink is faded and the glue on the post it note is drying up and it keeps falling to the floor for the janitor to sweep up and put into the dust bins.....

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

I think that in 26 year of honorable military service and in doing mission like Alabama Mersk and Captian Phillips rescue and the bin Laden raid, the Navy Chief has proved his loyalty to this country more than once. He literally risk his life for the country more than once.

President Obama sat on the edge of chair for 40 minute and had the 'long time of his life'. That was not even close to being inside a Blackhawk helo that was breaking in half and then to get up and do the mission.

The men in political office and military command today, don't understand what it is like to be at the point of the spear. The Navy Chief does. He has every right to tell his story of that night in Pakistan.

This is all about political correctness on the Obama administration part. In 2007, the Navy Chief signed two government NDAs (Non Disclosure Agreements). These are his supposed material breaches. We have the word of a Special Operation Attroney that vetted the book, that nothing of a national security nature was in it.

So the Obama administration is just seeking grounds to keep the book from being release prior to the election. Not trying to improve the national security of the country that itself has leaked many time on.

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

Old Clinton said something last night. That many American can identity with. Specially during Obama's term in office. Losing a job. Most Americans take great pride in getting and doing a job.

But during President Obama term in office more American has lost jobs either to layoffs, plant closurers, company bankrupcty than any time in our countries history. That is with the 800b TARP II bailout.

Old Clint put it pretty straight. "If someone is not doing the job, fire them."

Rubio said elected work for the people in America. Not the other way around. As public servants, they make it happen for the people. If they don't.....what is the voter to do? Clint gave us the answer.
Fire em. Sure legally at the ballot box. But it is still a pink slip.

A pink slip that some 23.5m unemployed Americans carry around today.Romney and Ryan want to help those 23.5m American lose the pink slip for a pay check. Not some small get me by part time pay check either. But one that will give them incomes for houses and car
and college degrees.

As President Obama and DEM sell the various loan programs....for student loans, housing, and further big business stimulus. The Romney and Ryan plan is to give you pay check and not to place you further under the water with debt.

Sure the DEM want you to borrow. When you do, the principle and interest from your loan...say a Fannie or Freddie mortgage goes into a DEM controlled and managed company. Or a DEM bailouted big bank. Or a government run GM. They want you feel crisis and always at uneasy about your life. Searching for some government answer. Always wanting to buy or borrow more.

President Obama is one of the best 'hawk men in American history' for DEM run quasi government and corporations. But don't ever think that it is free. Free healthcare is myth. The ACA is biggest tax in American history. He sold you that in 2008. Since then, he has been selling you loans and debt to pay for his big government.

You did not know how this worked? Well now you do.

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

VEry thin skinned and hateful to attack the jokes of a senior, Dude. Kind of like taking 716b from their medicare.....old Clint is revered in the senior community, Dude.

They got the message......

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

So will the convention bump put the Romney/Ryan team on top the Obama/Biden team? Nation poll has Obama in a 1.8% lead in the popular vote lead. But with a plus or minus of 3%. Romney and Ryan could have the lead now.

Michigan became a battle ground state that is to close to call. The other battleground state were Florida, Virgina, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Iowa. Obama has slim leads in Ohio, Nevada, Colorado, New Hampshire. All less than 3 points. Romney had slim leads in Tennessee and Georgia.

So as we come into the final turn in this race, 11 states seem to be in play and can go for either candidate. The most commonly used words by political pundits on this one are going to be....."this very tight race".

Interesting that both campaigns got bumps in the polling during the RNC. Prior Obama had taken a downturn and then as the RNC came up a immediate climb. It will be interesting to see if the same occurs for the DNC. Because there is only 7-8% undecided now.

---

Clint Eastwood used a old comedian's trick at the RNC....using a empty chair as his prop. Most of the country feels the Oval Office has a empty chair for the last 4 years. So it really was not that far off base.

Eastwood would ask the chair questions and have dialogue with the non person sitting in it. The non person of course was President Obama.
See I spelled it out you. Eastwood brought the RNC to laughs more than once at the expense of the non person. By the time he finished, the varnish on the wooden chair had melted some.

And no, he will not do that to either himself or Mitt Romney. If you have to ask, you have not figured out the President's evolved position on gays well enough.

Eastwood tells us that they are plenty of conservatives in Hollywood.
That just don't become flamboyant and make news as much as Liberals in the tinsel town. Being a star does not mean center stage all the time, darling.

But the man of the hour was Mitt Romney. He made a plea right at disillusioned DEMs. His presidency is going to embrace women, minorities, and all Americans. He told the convention that when in MASS he ran a government that was composed 50% of men and 50% of women.

While in MASS he took a debt of 3b and made a surplus of 2b. He brought the MASS education system to being number one in the country.
He expanded the MASS private sector with innovation and advanced technology employment.

His greatest attack on President Obama was when he said..."In America we celebrate success, we don't condemn it." His 5 point economic plan would create 12m new jobs in the next decade.

His energy program would use the all the energies of gas, coal, nuclear and alternative. To sustain and drive the economy. he would complete the keystone pipeline and open Federal lands for drilling.

He said President Obama promise was to "stop the raising of the oceans and heal the environment." His promise "was to help you and your family." Romney gets it. It is about people.

He ended with "I will unleash an economy that will put people back to work and to restore a America, we want for our children. That future is our destiny. It is waiting for us. Our children deserve it. Our nation depends on it. The peace and freedom of the world requires it. And with your help tonight. We will deliver it."

The glove has come off and has been laid across Obama's and his administration's face. Romney want them to defend their economic record of the last four years and get into a economic discussion of why this is the slowest recovery from a recession since the Great Depression.

RE: BEST VICE PRESIDENT FOR THE U.S.A.

Biden has become a loose cannon. You might should have added Hillary Clinton to the poll. Because Biden is standing in the doorway of the
bus presently.

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

The OWS has become almost as disfunctional as the Obama administration.
The OWS turn out in Tampa was so light that you could put them all in 4 4 man tents and they had room for more.

Once heralded by the former number three person in government, Nancy Pelosi, the OWS has become the giggle on the late night talks shows.
But having DoJ staffers doing small talk and high fives with protesting OWS, also says something. There is a connection between the OWS and the Barack Obama administration.

Next week a truly equal opportunity OWS would be in Charlotte to bring a little havoc and chaos to the DNC. But doubt that very much. The OWS will be sleeping off the week at the RNC and waiting for the monthly unemployment check to arrive in the mail.

The once powerful OWS in number that stormed police and riot police lines, have melted into the Obama campaign. To become the grass root coordinator and the phone pollster. Shave off the beard and tuck the bandana in your back pocket and unweave the briades, to look like a average college student and coed pushing for their candidate.

But it makes sense. With the Obama campaign trailing in donations.....he needs the OWS fund raising and not chaos causing. I knew there was a benefit to Romney having a donation lead. Now we will not have the OWS insulting our intelligence with over used campaign slogans.

But if the OWS is the best Obama has......then he is in real trouble. He has lost the youth of America. They were his real strong point in the 2008. But they seem to have lost zeal for hope and change as one tent to many blew away in the tropical storm Isaac winds of Tampa.

Romney has a real chance then to unite the fractured country with a message that is inclusive of the American youth. If this week's RNC was any indication, that is exactly what is planned........

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

The DoD's Senior Attroney found 'material breaches' with the book written on the bin Laden raid, No Easy Day. These likely will bring about charges being pressed on the Navy Chief and a stay order on the release of the book. No mention of which security areas were breached in the book.

As this moves to litigation, it shows clearly the Obama's administration lack of regard for American's rights of free speech and free press.Often heavy handed governments have used the courts to suppress freedom of speech and press in the past.

The Obama administration forgets the 6000 Americans that died in Iraq to give that country freedom of speech and press. Many of those 6000 were the brother in arms with the SEAL Chief. The SEAL Chief know exactly why he wrote this book and and why its release prior to the
2012 election was important. To set the record straight on the bin Laden raid.

This is not the American way. All have the right of speech and press.
Specially in a military were the gays have right to out and to made known publically with respect and dignity. Should a 26 year veteran recaive anything less? The Navy Chief has a compelling story to tell of American bravery.Yet the Obama administration wishes to suppress it on security reasons. That coming from this administration, that has leaked a continued flow of intelligence to America's enemies is of the most biased based political motivations.

The President does not want the record set straight on the bin Laden raid. he would rather have the voting public and the world see only one finger print to the bin Laden raid. His.

Not the SEAL that pulled the trigger in the hallway. Not the helo pilot that brought down a damaged blackhawk. Not the 22 SEALs that executed the bin Laden raid. But Barack Obama want the world to solely see his decision and his responsibility to the bin Laden raid.

On the day following the raid, President Obama stepped to the White House's podium and said "Justice was done". After that the White House began a systematic release of leaks of the SEAL Team 6 names, and mission information. Including even a full movie production of the
raid. American justice had become a Hollywood movie. At the expense of 22 SEALs that later died in Afghanistan.

One has little reason to doubt the righteous anger that the Navy Chief has for a command that had so little regard to his personal and families safety, but also the security of his fellow Navy SEAL Team 6. That conducted many vital missions in the war on terrorism for the National Security of the country. And I might add for the Obama administration.

That with these material breaches, the Navy Chief faces the lose of retirement, and possible criminal military prosecution for simply using his freedom of speech, is reprehensible. We need a commander in chief that understands the passionate dedication of a American warrior and patriot. That is certainly not President Obama.

If this administration was truly concerned about security leaks, it would be release the DoD and FBI investigation of the post bin Laden raid report. So we would know the effect that they had on the SEAL team shot down in Afghanistan. Not seeking criminal charges on a
American hero. For the real material breaches are in the White House, not in the Navy Chief's Alaskan cabin.

RE: Romney and Ryan really better than Obama and Biden benefiting most Americans?

So you want to give America four more years of a empty chair?


It deserves better...............

RE: Bend over America if Romney gets elected

I might add to this post. That Obama is really only fighting one war (Afghanistan) with a deployment of 80,000. He has a security deployment in Iraq of 35,000 support troops. Bush was fighting two wars with a Iraq deployment of 135,000 and Afghanistan deployment of 35,000.

Because of logistics to support that 80,000 in Afghanistan, Obama is spending about 2 the amount Bush did to fight two wars.

But most of Obama deficit has been spent in his benefit program here in the US. 45m on food stamps. 23m on unemployment. He has reduced the DoD by nearly a trillion in present and future spending. Yet continued
lead Bush in Government deficit 2 to 1.

RE: Bend over America if Romney gets elected

US DEBT when GWB took the office was 5.7t
US DEBT when GWB left the office was 10.2t
US DEBT today under Obama is 16t

Obama in 4 years has increase the US Debt just about the same amount that Bush increased the Debt in 8 years. Or about twice as fast as GWB did.

RE: Mitt blames religeon for not releasing his tax returns

I think from here on out. That if parents want a child to run for President. They announce it at birth.....and every moment and every
major event of the child's life is fully documented!

RE: Mitt blames religeon for not releasing his tax returns

Does anyone feel desperation in the air?

RE: Bend over America if Romney gets elected

Ooby I have said this in the past that I am a supporter of the Fair Tax. Everyone pays the same share.

But do you really think that Obama is not going to raise taxes on the middle class? Don't insult my intelligence now. The ACA is tax remember. And middle classer that cannot find a policy is paying a tax to the IRS.

I don't think you see it. Romney and Ryan are going to slash bloated government programs. That is were the small tax refund comes in. It not going to be much. Agreed a 1% or 2% tax refund. But they have not said mortgage interest are in the picture. So you are adding revenues to their program that they are not asking for.

Today, you have 38 cents of every $1 going to repayment of FED foreign debt. You can raise taxes to pay this or you can slash programs to do this. Or some combination. I for one would rather slash the GSA that is partying hardy on our dollar. Slash first and then add taxes if we need to.

President Obama had a chance to do this. He had 4 years to do this.
he had complete control of the government for 2 of those years.
We got 5 trillion in new debt because, because they would not do this.

If Romney comes in and breaks his promise and begins new taxes, throws SSI under the bus, ends medicare as we know it.....all the DEM bullet talking points. I am with you. I am a registered IND and 62 in age. I need SSI and medicare in the near future. I can swing both ways. Make him a one term President.

But Obama broke his promise to us on this debt issue. So I saying the same. Make him a one termer. That is the only way you are going to get their attention. It might be the hammer hit over the head attention getter. But he is young and will likely keep party leadership for four years to make a run in 2016.

RE: Bend over America if Romney gets elected

Gee OOby Romney and Ryan did not evolve their positions on Gays did they?

But to the OP. Umm correct me if I am wrong. But is you have accross the board tax cut.....then middle incomes have a tax break as well.
Romney is going to be able to do this because he not going to run a massive FED government to support the ACA.

Gee Ooby....that means you are getting more in your pocket as well!

RE: We Are The Future Rally

Ron Paul would make a very good cabinet member in the Romney/Ryan administration. Treasury.....replacing Giether maybe makes sense.

Or Department of Interior..... or Department of Commerce...all seem
possible to me.

A new administration has lot of leeway to give cabinet members "policy making roles".

RE: Romney Says Corporations Familiar With ‘Low-Tax Havens’

Maybe we should ask Ooby.....

If the FED is so broke under the Obama's administration that its willing to go back to find unpaid taxes from the 1990s?

OR if the Obama administration is so ignorant of the statute of limitations that it think there a legal case to do so?

Oh that is right....it is a election year. I forgot.

RE: Romney Says Corporations Familiar With ‘Low-Tax Havens’

It does not matter, What you wish for...illegal gains from stock trades are also covered by the statute of limitation. And stock sales are suppose to be on your tax filings.

It was Clinton's IRS to catch him if there was a error or violation. Clearly they did not. So the Government cannot take another bite of the apple now.

Remember President Obama is in office and is suppose to be the chief law enforcement officer of the land. So when his surrogates begin to shout "illegal"......it can matter.

Only it is a toothless charge.....else Clinton's IRS would have pressed it long ago.
