    Because the republicans were more concerned about blaming and bashing, and telling lies, or call it using unreliable sources. I'm STILL waiting to hear what Romney's plans would be for all these unwanted babies. Oh, I forgot, Romney is an Idealist, living in a small world where the small 1% can afford to make their ideals(idealistic) real (realistic), while the rest of the 99% only dream of reaching our idealistic worlds, but can't because the reality is many of the 99% are directly involved with the everyday realities of life! It we who see the results of economic and socionomic decline more than that 1%. President Obama and his family both have involved more in the reality of the US economic and socionomic in the system because they lived it. I can connect with the Obamas much better than Romney. I don't think the Republican party demonstrated the solidarity and unionship that Obama and the Democratic convention did.

    Except the democrats did nothing but lie and you are one of the suckers now. What world are you living in Obama is and will always be the president they gave us the worst economy in American history. Why don't you tell us what Obama has done for Americnas lest see no jobs bigger government to pay for his low life voters with oue tax money which he rasied taxes to pay for them so they can collect welfare with your erned income and drive around all day long in 40 Thousand dollar cras that not allowed to own when on welfare Obama made it so they don't have to look for work or get a education . What he wants is for the 2% tahs he said didn't ern it to pay more taxes to pay for there welfare . Ya thats sounds fare. And how stupid to take a poll asking do you think Obama should raise taxes for the rich what the hell did you expect them to say no Its dosen't raise their taxes so why thell do they care. But they will care when they peopl Take their bussiness to china and you wonder why they move to china. So when your out of a job You will knwo why because your a dumb ass.

    Wrong! You watch way too much Faux News. I have yet to see anyone on Welfare driving expensive cars. Sounds to me like you are listening to BS, and not really involved in the real world. Rich greedy bastards create big corporations and bring over all foreign products, hire people at minimal wage, offer no benefits, no health insurance, and so many can't make ends meet. They get help in the form of Food Stamps or rent assistance because Walmart doesn't think they deserve to be treated fairly. Doesn't matter what you think because Obama won the vote of what people want. Go yell at the jerks who make money off the government - the REAL LEECHES - b jbjbjb

    I really do not want to hear about Mitt's loving family history. Could someone tell me in his speech how he will increase jobs and balance the budget by reducing tax to 24% and eliminating it on estates, interest and capital gains?????? Numbers will not add up. The war in Irag cost us 3 trillion.... but when "bush" tax was reduced - our debt had to increase. Please tell me how Romney has a plan to make the economy stronger??

    It's the weight of a promise offered versus promise unfolding. Mitt Romney just hasn't gotten my attention yet. He seems to be offering a return to "the good old days." For people like me, those days weren't that good.

    Obama's was widely panned by the left and right. Obama was defensive, whiney, and didn't really have anything to say.

    Mitt gave the best speech of his life, and he showed us he is ready to lead because that is what he has done for decades.

    Who cars what the innacurate pollsters say? The don't use likely voters in their polling in most cases. Furthermore, they have been exposed over representing Democrats and grossly under representing independents in their calculations.

    For instance, in the CNN poll they used only 6% independents when the real number is 25% in their poll that showed Obama ahead by 6%. Had they used the correct percentage, Romney would have been ahead by 8%!

    But CNN is merely the media arm of the Democrat party, so they are pushing out false polling number in an attempt to affect the election.

    In some of the polls, the pollsters included unregistered voters! That alone skews the polls significantly because unregistered voters are more likely to support Obama.

    I'm funny and you're dull minded. Today Mitt is ahead according to the most accurate pollster.

    I pointed out how the other polls are deeply flawed, but it apparently went over your head.

    He sure is a leader! A leader in the top percent! A business leader, a BILLIONAIRE! He will turn America into one giant WALMART! He's a billionaire as a result of his connections to huge CORPORATIONS! How many smaller business do we have to loose to Corporations, how many have we lost??? Along with ethics and morals! Walmart doesn't care about people , especially those that work for them! They have no concern for America on the long run. All they want is to make more money to life seperate lives from us 99%! Yes, Romney want Americans to earn more money, but for who?????? The song, 'For the Love of Money', by the OJ's comes to mind! I just couldn't take most of the Republican Convention seriously.

    Romney's net worth is $250 million. He took all the money he inherited and gave it ALL to charity when he was a young man. He was not rich at the time. How many people do you know who have done that?

    His charitable giving as a percentage of his income (15%) dwarfs both Obama and Biden's percentages.

    I agree that the owners of WalMart are greedy cheap bastards. That has nothing to do with Romney. Some rich people are a-holes and some are extremely generous.

    George Soros, is the real MULTI-BILLIONAIRE who is spending millions to get Obama reelected is a real a-hole. He has said more than once that the best time of his life occurred when he and another man took the belongings of Jews who had been carted off for death by the Nazis. Soros sold their property.

    Most people would feel bad knowing that they became rich stealing the property of those who were targeted for murder...but not Soros. He still feels good about that. It's his fondest memory, in fact.

    Obama helped further enrich this ruthless bastard by loaning a Brazilian oil company named Petrobas $2 billion dollars of taxpayer money. Soros was the largest stockholder in the company until he sold his shares at a big profit due to the loan. Ironically, the loan was for off-shore drilling although Obama opposes offshore drilling in...

    So if you're worried about helping the average person, Romney is far more likely to be that person that Obama.

    Meanwhile, just wait until you get hit with the hidden taxes in the ObamaCareTax law that go into effect in 2013 and 2014.

    Lastly, a large part of today's unemployment is due to the ObamaCareTax law because many corporations won't hire due to the impending expense of it. Unemployment hurts the middle class and the poor.

    Mitt owns as many homes as he can afford and he can indeed buy pretty much what he likes. That's one of the advantages of being rich.

    Romney released two years of his tax returns where it showed he had donated 15% of his income to charity. Obama's percentage was much much lower. In earlier years his donations were almost non-existent just like Joe Biden.

    His success in business is a resume enhancer....far better than community organizer and college lecturer.

    When a person has many millions of dollars like Mitt has, their money is not covered by FDIC. It makes no since to open hundreds of bank accounts. So they often put their money in boutique banks off shore that offer extra services. For instance, the bank might pick you up at the airport in a limo.

    PS. He's rich. You're not. hahahaha Nor will you ever be rich if you hate people who are rich because the more money you have, the more you will hate yourself..

    "His success in business is a resume enhancer....far better than community organizer and college lecturer."
    * A successful business man does not necessarily make a successful leader if he ignores the needs of families and futures of those not in his class.
    * If nothing is wrong with having off shore accounts, why keep the total worth a secret?
    * Possibility that his contribution total is skewed due to only having records and tax returns of the money he has earned in the U.S.? What about those offshore accounts?
    * "PS. He's rich. You're not. hahahaha Nor will you ever be rich if you hate people who are rich because the more money you have, the more you will hate yourself."
    I have no jealousy ! I don't hate myself. Just where did you get that notion? Are you putting words in my mouth?
    I would rather be poor and content that I at least have concern for humanity and all types of people than rich and no care in the world except for maintaining my status and wealth, and keeping the TOP rich from creating avenues to maintain barriers between the TOP rich and the rest of society!

    You show me the proof Romney is a billionaire since you were the one to make that claim.

    Let's see Obama's college applications. Let's see if he attended college as a foreign student.

    Let's see him explain his 16+ social security numbers. Then he can tell us why his Selective Service card isn't fraudulent.

And his the dumb bastartd that say to on TV to small bussines owners Quote you didn't ern it. This country is in such bad shape because of bumb asses like you. For 4 years he been blaming BUsh for the economy but he was fighting like hell to keep the Bush tax cuts talk about a flip flopper show how dumb Americans are they can't see Whats real. Obama tried to interview a couple in West virginia they owned a small store when the they were aked if Obama could come talk with them they said why would we want to talk to him he said we didnt ern this store . They told Obama to go to hell. Do some research lady then come back and post all all the things tah help America and the bills he helped pass . You will only find one bill he signed and with all the other Dmeocrats thas caused the collopse of our economy, it was not Bush the democrats contolled the house at the time they were in controll they passed the bills that stole our homes and money and Obama signed those bills .

    Maybe Obama's speech sounded warmed over because he is still holding fast to his beliefs, ideals, and goals about what is right for Americans as a WHOLE. Not just the very rich. Obama said in the beginning that IT WOULD TAKE TIME to unravel the mess! How can ANYONE clean up this mess in four years???? It has been happening long before Obama got into office! Please read the history of the socio, economic, and political growth over the last 200 to 500 years ago. Read about the industrial revolution and the American Revolution! Ever hear of the Industrial Revolution? Technological Era? Like the how the world started out as one continent? and now is seven? ( I think it's 7, let me know if I'm off!) There are always changes in the earth, atmosphere, and people EVOLVE. As do social and political and economic are constantly evolving. REGARDLESS of who did what regarding jobs, or outsourcing, we as a nation are EVOLVING! I trust Obama more than Romney by far to take or make steps towards EVOLVING than trust Romney with his BACKWARDS ideas! Obama lives more in reality of socio-economical-political changes than Romney. Damns are built to stop floods, walls to stop oceans from swallowing us up, concrete buildings to survive earth quakes, but it never stops what nature creates. It's the nature of the universe regardless of belief in God.

Cape Cod is a place where the rich come to play, and play Romney did, lavishly! See, presidents have come to Cape and Islands for vacation, etc... There's only avfew ways to get to islands and boats and airport are staffed by natives. We here, hear some outlandish stories. Difference is we don't plublicize them and that's why they keep coming! We leave them alone!
    People evolve, the earth evolves, and that therefore is why the Human Rights Ammendment was created. To include all! And to make it very loud and clear that ALL people are created EQUAL! I also studied European culture and some people got tired of the back and fourth games between church and state. If a king wanted to end his marriage but Catholic Religion said it was wrong, well he changed religion to Protestant , where divorce was allowed. Religion was used as a means to suit the King and the ones in power. A group of people came to America to ESCAPE the abuse of power and religion so they could practice their beliefs and have the right to CHOOSE their religion. They were tired of their king 'flip flopping ' between religions to SERVE the KIngs Wants! Thou it never really completely seperated. The new Americans felt that church and state should not be a single unit BECAUSE religion is a matter of personal choice, faith, and INTERPRETATION, to which each man has a RIGHT to their own! To implement theistic belief into the sociopolitical of governance of an entire group can only lead to war, prosecution, and greater division among the groups members. Religious perspective is a subjective matter, and has no place being FORCED upon others who might have a different point of view. That brief history can be found in wiki answers. There are as many religions as their are personalities and people create religions based on their beliefs as well as needs.
    Goggle the following,' why do extreme fundamentalists attract the mentally ill'. Many come from abusive homes. They grew up not as able to think on their own, but were verbally, physically, and sexually abused. They are attracted to religions that are controlling and dictate. They grew up that way being controlled by abuse and pick a religion that provides emotional abuse. Not all are mentally I'll, I didn't say that, but many mentally ill are.
    To ignore the fact that there is evidence that the world evolves is stupid. Yes, we have seven continents, but it also believed that the shifting and division of the earth hasn't stopped. The tetonic plates near California and runs up under Iceland is predicted to seperate and part of California will go under, and California will shift more north towards Canada.
    We have entering the tecnological era . The industrial era has seen many changes that people born before it and saw it becoming, were just as doubtful about it because it was what they knew. The industrial era saw many revolutions during it's time, as will the technological era.
    I don't even want to think about what Romney can do with Ryan in office! Sorry, I stand firm in supporting Obama. I don't trust Romney at all. As this IS a free country to choose, I choose Obama'
