Early in his term in office President Obama stated he favored repealing the Bush Tax Cuts on the most wealthy in our nation. The Republicans immediatly went to arms and claimed doing so would hinder any jobs development investment; the President backed off. In fact the wealthiest stopped investing in 2005 and to this date has done very little.

America could be well on its way to national recovery if the Republicans had not obstructed every efforrt that may have helped Fix America! Had they spent half as much effort trying to help as they have in ensuring failure we would be beyond many of our employment and economic problmes. Their fear that ANY Obama success may be contrary to thier mission of failure has obstructed any attempts by not only Presidnet Obama but other Republicans and Democrats who have tried to get us back on track!

Throughout 2011 and into 2012 the Republican party was using their radical radio and televised media talk show hosts to tell America that “this is not a good time to start a new business, expand a business or hire new people.” Their intent was to mislead employers as a part of their “Mission of Failure” against the Obama Administration. Our unemployment numbers continued to remain high based in-large part to the success of the Republican followers of Senator Mitch McConnell’s publically proclaimed efforts to see the Obama Administration fails

America could have been well on it’s way to national recovery had the Republican and Tea Party followers of Mitch McConnell’s “Mission of Failure “ worked half as hard at helping fix our problems as they did in creating failure.

As a registered Republican I have elected to NOT vote for ANY Republican who has shown any support for Mitch McConnell’s mission! I am so completely disgusted with the tactics of the Republican party in the past 12 years that I will find it difficult to vote for any Republican.

The only ignorant one I saw was Joe Biteeme and his followers. The Nation has lost 20 points in its collective IQ over the past 4 years

I have said from time to time that it takes the following term for the plans put in place to take effect in any economy. In this case, in the USA, it is actually happening in the last year of the term. An election year. Thanks be to God. I pray that the people of the USA are awake.

Thanks to employment at will, employees who complain about being forced by their employees to work unreasonable hours, even without payment of overtime, can be fired. Given the large pool of unemployed workers, there will always be someone willing to work 84 hours per week for minimum wage and not complain about it. This is what we can expect as the norm from Romney and Ryan.

Tea Partiers think they have some influence, but they are now Tea Puppets. The multi-billionaire supporters of Romney and Ryan have co-opted the Tea Party and framed their own agenda in Tea Party terms. Tea Party supporters will be just as much the victims of a Romney/Ryan administration as the rest of the middle class (and the poor), but they think they still have some influence. If they were still relevant, they’d be demanding to see Romney’s tax returns, and they’d be demanding to hear the details of what Romney/Ryan plan to do if elected. Have you heard from the Tea Party lately? No? That’s because the real Romney/Ryan supporters suppress the questions the Tea Partiers would like to have answered. The only positive thing that could come from a Romney/Ryan victory on Nov. 6 would be a total alienation of people who think they are part of the Tea Party. After all, when the people you think were on your side when you voted for them turn against you, who will you vote for next time–if you are still eligible to vote?
