As the Pennsylvania GOP leader said, their voter suppression efforts will give Romney the win.

The only clear choice is Romney. Obama is running our country into the ground in debt. If we have four more years of the same, there might no longer be an America. We as individuals can't incur that much debt and expect others to pay for it. Why can our government? They need accountability on both sides. We need to make sure we are doing our homework on these guys.

Bush, the drunken sailor spender, AND the republican house, (greedy corporate fascists) are the one's who have completely ruined our wonderful, American system.

...which was followed by Obama, who has done everything Bush has done, only DOUBLE. With covert wars going on in Somalia and Syria, Obama is actually worse than Bush. In addition, Romney would be worse than Obama's first term, but tied with Obama's second term.

Why would you people continue to do the same thing over and over, yet expect a different outcome?

Aren't you supposed to be saner than that?

CHOOSE THREE. The first two are puppets for the illuminati.

I see we have a lot of liberals on here tonight. I don't understand how anyone who believes in a democratic republic, not to mention freedom, can even think of voting for Obama. He is the closest thing to a dictator this country has ever had. If he doesn't get what he wants through Congress, he does it by executive order, regardless of what the law says.

you have to stop watching Fox Spews - President Obama has issue 129 executive orders in the first 4 years. President George W Bush issued 291 in 8 years and President Ronald Raegan issued 380. I would say these 2 previous presidents are way ahead of President Obama

Barack Obama

Unfortunately, because of the Peter-Paul theory. His problem is the size thirteen, hobnailed regulatory boot he has pressed firmly athwart the throat of the prostrate form of the private sector. And (you can't make this stuff up) he loves spending far beyond his means, (one cannot say he spends money like a drunken sailor because drunken sailors stop spending when they run out of money.) even his re-election campaign fund is in the red.

O'bama. There's no hope for this country if flip-flopper. Rommel, as stupid as he is, manages to pull the wool over voters' eyes. Really listen to his words, then ask yourself, "Can I Trust Him?" If he was a car salesman, would you buy one from him? I don't trust him. He is now in Etch-A-Sketch mode and will say anything to win your vote, but can't tell you what his plan is, to turn around the economy. If it's a tough question like that, you have to talk to his campaign manager. He dodges those pesky reporters whenever he can, but sooner or later they will catch up to him. Maybe he's afraid he'll make a misstep and say something that could get him in trouble with his base?

Romney did plenty of private sector turn-a-rounds with private money. He is a proven
business leader and success. Obama has never even had a lemon aid stand, and
if shows.

For all his so called business experience, the truth about what happened to the 2000 Olympic games in Utah, was that Romney supposedly saved is that he asked Bush for a subsidy to help the failed games. Romney got the money from the taxpayer. The Government Accountability Office issued a report regarding Romney’s handling of the money as wasteful spending.The 2002 Winter Olympics went down as the most expensive games in US history and even Senator John McCain cited the games as “an incredible pork-barrel project for Salt Lake City and its environs”. It was not the custom of the US government to invest so heavily in a US hosted Olympic game, the money is supposed to come from sponsors, local cities and the the US Olympic Committee.

Romney's great at outsourcing or "offshoring" jobs too. He knows how to inflate the bank accounts of the rich, but he doesn't care a fig for anyone else.

Well, he has a big following, even with all Romney's money, Obama's ahead in many polls. For someone to collect that much money from so many small donations, shows me he is doing something right. He doesn't get a million dollar donation from just one person like Sheldon Adelson. Actually Sheldon gave Romney campaign $100 Million. Obama's donations are often $50 to $100. I hope money can't buy a president, but people are easy to fool. The people on this blog are proof that brainwashing is possible.

out of touch with reality living in super mansions!!!

reply
Bob to Ely 2012/06/26 23:48:53

Obama and liberals only say they care about the poor. If they really aced abut the poor, the trillions of dollars they have spent on poverty would have helped people get out of poverty instead of still mired in it. They would rather give the person the fish instead of teaching the person how to fish because that way the person is dependent on them and thus will vote for them.

where is the proof that they have spent trillions on the poor - seems to me the GOP in congress put the brakes on food stamps and most other things to help the poor - Back up your claims with facts please - neutral urls we can check - and no fox news links won't cut it. They are about as fair and balanced as a one armed paper hanger

google stats on food stamp facts, you will see that it has steadlly grown and there is now a record high of those collecting food stamps. Do you live under a rock, or worse yet do you rely on LSDMBC for new?
