How Paul Ryan’s Disgrace Could Break The Deadlock In Washington, D.C.

September 28th, 2012 4:37 pm @LOLGOP

Politically, Paul Ryan is a proving to be a worse choice as a vice-presidential nominee than even Sarah Palin.

Sure, Ryan may be able to name the newspapers he reads, mark up an Appropriations bill and charm reporters. But where Sarah Palin added energy to John McCain’s ticket — briefly skyrocketing the 2008 GOP nominee past candidate Obama in the polls — any boost Ryan offered was marginal and quickly faded away.

Conservatives have already started the second-guessing of the Ryan choice, suggesting that Ohio’s Senator Rob Portman would be a huge asset in the Buckeye state, where Romney seems to be getting trounced. Medicare was a huge advantage for Republicans in 2010 and suddenly — thanks to Ryan’s signature budget that majorly revamps the program — the president is more trusted to preserve the program in swing states.

And what has Ryan added to the ticket?

Perhaps he’s prevented a complete revolt by the right-wing base when Romney does things like praising his health care plan, which inspired Obamacare? But if Romney is still worried about his base, he might as well save his anonymous donors a few million and pack it in.

Putting Paul Ryan on the ticket was just one of Mitt Romney’s terrible mistakes. But this mistake may be the best thing that has happened to our broken political process in years.

Let me explain.

From the moment Mitt Romney announced Ryan as his running mate, the congressman has been running from specifics of his famed Ryan Budgets, which had made him the darling of the conservative movement. This was to be expected… and a bit ironic, as Romney had adopted nearly all of Ryan’s ideas when his campaign was crumbling in the primary.

Ryan’s downfall began when his harmless fib about his marathon time was closely followed by a widely panned convention speech where his disregard for the truth came off as deliberate and invidious. This immediately cut into his image as someone who told “hard truths.” Instead he used half-truths and flat-out lies in order to make an unprincipled case against the president.

Was Ryan really arguing that the president hadn’t intervened in the private sector enough to keep one GM plant open, though he’d saved hundreds? No, the veep hopeful was trying to score cheap points.

“If Romney and Ryan are roundly rejected, the notions of turning Medicare into a voucher system and gutting a trillion dollars from Medicaid to pay for more tax breaks should go down with them.”

It will never die. Republican’s are still trying to end Social Security more than 80 years later.

And they’re never happy. CUT TAXES!! has turned into 47% don’t pay taxes, those shiftless, do nothings! I thought that was their goal…to drown the government in a bathtub a la ol’ Grover. Great until you get what you want…then you want something else. Like kids with severe ADHD.

Republican’s will never be happy until old and poor people are soylent green, where they can watch them taking their last breaths while cheering on a painful death…before eating them. “Conservatives” are nothing but psychopaths in sociopath’s clothing.

And nothing is ever OVER, not with these folks. They want to repeal the Minimum Wage, Civil Rights,Row v Wade, heck, they want to revisit the Civil War. 333 times they have tried to overturn the Affordable Health Care Act, and have done nothing else. To them, there is no such thing as a lost cause. Don’t Crash The Ambulance! Obama-Biden 2012!

Nothing is over until we get the able bodied among the 47% working again and be a part of the path to prosperity and economic freedom as outlined by Romney and Paul Ryan.You see Obama wants to spend money that other people make to get himself in office for life.Wat good is your minimum wage law if there are no jobs around because of excessive tax regulation and unrealistic health care protection for everybody regardless of their lifestyle.
Obama is into his legacy.He does not care if this country burn like the US embassies in the Middle east.

EXCEPT: your own taxes will increase by $2000 to $6000 under the Romney Ryan tax cut. Even Republicans are saying so now. The tax cut is only for Romney, the rest of the country will pay more taxes because they’ll pay his as well. And so will you.

fed up…
Does that include the 35,000 who made over 200,000 a year, only to pay no taxes because of the loopholes?
With all of the tax breaks, subsidies, and loopholes available to the wealthy and corporations, the lines appear rather vague when trying to determine just who the takers are, don’t you think?
elizh

All those darn retirees and working poor.

I haven’t done the numbers, but, what if working at minimum wage puts you in the 47%?
Jim Johnson

You should drop some of your paranoid delusions, look around at some facts and realities and realize that Romney/Ryan are up to no good.

We must end the “redistribution” of wealth that George Bush engineered with his tax cuts for the wealthy. They do not need these tax cuts.

John in NL

By redistribution of wealth, I take it you mean from the poor to the rich, right?
http://www.facebook.com/gary.pinkerton.94 Gary Pinkerton

lol but you need yours. the tax cut were across the board poor, middle class, rich. everyone earned their class of their own accord.take that to the bank. i say flat tax everyone including the poor. if they make a wage they pay taxes simple. no loop holes for anyone including child earned income credit.
http://www.facebook.com/kevin.warman1 Kevin Warman

What? . . . . reducing the taxes on the money people earn is “redistribution of wealth” ??? . . . this makes no sense since it was their money in the first place !! No wonder we have problems having intelligent conversations on these topics when people can’t see reality clearly !!
Rhoado

yes … 47% as in the elderly who have already paid taxes all their life… yeah, we should really get them back to work,.,.,., lol
Ultima64

There is no doubt that this was a significant gaff by Romney. Many people have used the 47% figure when they express their distaste for more taxes. Whoever is responsible for putting this figure in the public domain made a huge mistake. We all need to see the breakdown of this number into the various categories. The Obama campaign has pointed out that these people pay other kinds of taxes. That is only partly true because all those who are retired would not be paying any form of payroll tax, no Social Security, Medicare, Unemployment or Workers’ Compensation taxes. This issue could be resolved if every paid an income tax even if it is only $1. People could then say, “I helping to pay for the things the Constitution requires.”

No one should receive through the income tax system a refund or payment of any kind that they have not first paid out in income taxes. If they need and deserve any welfare payment, it should mnot be disguised in the income tax system.i It’s welfare and we ought to begin calling it that.

Obviously, many of the retired workers pay income tax, especially if their retirement plans were 401k, 403bs, etc. that gets taxed only when the funds are paid out or withdrawn. Even Social Security payments are taxed under some circumstances.

If one has ever been in a tax preparer office in tax season, he or she would quicklly note the peole showing up to get their annual welfare check via the income tax system.

Obviously, there are many deserving needly people who should have access to welfare from a single pot of appropriationswith strict rules for eligibility and managegd at the loccal level in office adjoining employment offices.
Ultima64

They may not need the money but they earned it and deserve the right to spend most of it in any way they see fit. It is called freedom. One has to wonder what kind of a tax code Johnson would like to see and what bracket he is in. Some can’t avoid the litany of “soak the rich” but few are willing to state what percentage of the national budget should be paid for by the rich who already pay a huge part of that budget.

If Jim Johnson was Paul Ryan and faced with a 16 trillion dollar deficit, perennial budget deficits,and the huge amounts already being spent on Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security, what would his plan look like?

No one knows what tax rate the rich should pay or what rate would be fair to all concerned.

There are ways to do this without induging in confiscatory taxation. Why not begin by removing the ceiling on taxable income for Social Security purposes so that the rich pay the same percentage of their income as the less rich. Then if we freeze the maximum benefit at the present level as adjusted annualy for inflation, the rich will pay for benefits others will receive.

I also like the idea of turning Medicaid over to the states so that it can be better managed. Otherwise the cost of this necessary program will eat us alive while China laughs all the way to the bank.

Finally, let’s put all the bits and piece of welfare together in one place and have a separate application process mana
ged at the local level. Include all of the income tax refunds people get who have paid no taxes, food stamps, public housing, free school lunches, aid to dependent children, Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security in excess of employer and employee contributions plus interest, etc.

This would give all of us a better idea of the total cost of welfare and enable us to decide whether or not we have created a society of takers who are disincentivised by the significant amouts they can get without doing a hour of work.

Are you Blind? you want to talk about “redistribution” look at what Obama and the dems have done. Did you even listen to what Romney had to say or are you so closed minded that you can not see America going over the cliff with this administration? Obama’s biggest gift is to Same sex mariage,opening the border to whomEver want to cross,And getting our military people killed because he doesn’t want to call his friends The Muslim Brotherhood an enemy of the U.S.A. If this is great with you then keep him in office.But don’t expect anything to get better!
hilandar1000

There is certainly a good bit of blindness, but it is NOT among the Obama-Biden supporters. Yes, we did, indeed, listen to what Romney had to say in the debate — it was exactly OPPOSITE to everything he said during the rest of his campaign. Who knows what he truly believes? As to “opening the border to whomever”, there have been twice as many deportations in this administration than during the Bush years, and border patrol has doubled during this administration. As the president stated, we cannot consider the elected Egyptian leadership to be either our friends or our enemies. We don’t have enough information at this point to make that determination. We cannot consider all Muslims to be terrorists any more than we can consider all Christians to be terrorists, even though heinous acts of terrorism have been committed by radical extremists in both religions. You, Karen, and people like you must learn to live in a world where everyone does not look like you and share your beliefs and preferences. Since you mentioned the blindness of others who do not agree with you, I must tell you, Karen it is YOU who must remove the blinders and the automatic hatred from yourselves. We are not as isolated as we once were and must learn a way of living peacefully with others in this country and in this world.
joanc

Karen doesn’t need to take off the blinders for she is very aware of Obama’s intentions. It is you who have closed your eyes and if Obama gets back in, you, I and all others living in this great country will find it transformed into a global socialistic society. Hilander, have you ever heard of the Civil war where A Republican President freed the slaves against the wishes of the democrats? It was a slow process, but the intregaion into American society,was finally happening, until Obama started his class warfare, and what was his intention? Was it to drive a wedge to isolate people who lived, worked and got along with each other? America has always been a melting pot, with many legal immigrants from many different backgrounds. I can’t see why you felt the need to tel karen to accept others, as an American she already does. You spoke of Religion and I question why and for what reason,for America has always been tolerant of everyones religion and their right to worship their God, as long as everyone respected anothers choice and did not try to convert others by force.
hilandar1000

Joanc, It doesn’t appear that you have read or comprehended anything of what either Karen or I have stated. Where do you get your notion that Obama will turn this into a global socialistic society? It seems to me that the GOP started shouting “socialist” from the moment he was was elected, and predicting as you have, that we would not survive as a society with his leadership. He’s been in office for almost 4 years now. Where is your proof?
Do you know what you are objecting to? Or are you just repeating baseless GOP talking points that you heard someplace? For your information, I am quite aware that the slaves were freed by a great American leader. Did you realize that the great American president you spoke of was one of the first to propose a socialist program when he brought forth the need for pensions for wounded Civil War veterans and widows and children of veterans? Are you aware that Republican presidents have signed bills for “socialist” programs — like the interstate highway system and food stamps?
The only mention made of religion was in response to Karen’s assumption that the Muslim Brotherhood was automatically to be considered as an enemy of the USA AND an ally of our President. I merely pointed out to Karen that we don’t have the facts at this point to assume that, because a group calls themselves Muslim, it should be automatically assumed that they are enemies. They seem to have taken over control of Egypt at this point, and Obama has said that he does not consider them to be either friend or enemy. Since that government is in a state of transition, we do not have enough information at this point to make that determination. Perhaps you should do more searching and learn the facts before voicing ridiculous conclusions you have reached because you have bought into GOP propaganda. The known facts do NOT support your ill-conceived conclusions.

hilandar1000

How in the world could you make such a totally unsupported and ridiculous statement? Which people has Obama tried to separate from the society? It is undeniably evident that the Democratic Party is far more inclusive than the Republican Party. Maybe you should try to get some facts straight here. Hitler didn’t try to separate people. He killed the ones he didn’t want around and called it “ethnic cleansing”. Is that what you are accusing our president of doing? — or are you trying to say that you agree with the leader of Iran when he says that the Holocaust didn’t really happen?
SandyMM

I have to add the “redistribution” means I work, you collect for not working as hard or at all….oh…thats right…they tried that in socialism….doesn’t work….lets not forget that the millionaires are not taxed on accumulated wealth…you have to have “earned” income to be taxed so must of the tax the rich people nonsense is just that….they won’t pay any more unless capital gains is killed and even then you have to do more than just sit on the investment.
hilandar1000

Just because you are not at all knowledgeable about the governmental systems of other countries does not mean that their systems of governments do not work. As a matter of fact, there are a number of countries which have a government of democratic socialism — and the people who live in those countries are more pleased with their government than any others in the world. Please check it out — your lack of knowledge in that area is obscenely exposed.

In fact he is acclaimed as the father of congregational community based improvements. Better yet, tell me what you have done to rival Saul Alinsky’s record in making this world a better place.
CarolO

That must be why Romney keeps saying Russia is our big problem? And let’s not forget that awful China he so often talks about. Right this minute in Illinois is another factory sold to Bain and jobs being moved to China. Who is still a big investor in Bain? Romney, of course. And who will line his pockets on the backs of those now losing those jobs? HIM.

He hide in France so he wouldn’t have to serve his country. Kept his 5 healthy sons from having to serve. Hides his tax returns, hides his money and hides the fact Bain is still making him millions. Every man in my family served this country including my two sons. And not one minute was served from the entire Romney family.
sarah_hines

Romney does nothing but argue and argue with Obama. He trash talks him.He rather do that then answer an undecided voters question at the last presidental devate. If Ryan and Romney go into office American will be so much different the founding fathers of this country will be disappointed in the choice! He doesn’t give a crap about anybody but upper class. I have NO idea how he so close to Obama. He wants to take a lot of things away that are important to americans. Like Medicare, Social Security and the womens right to chose to have an abortion or not.

Trudy62

Karen, I absolutely agree with you. It is like the Dems. have blinders on. Maybe the Dems. haven’t gone and watched the youTube videos where Obama has a record of being a shady guy. Talk about liars, Obama, Biden and Clinton have told major lies to the American people, and yes, to the same people that voted him into office. I listen to both sides, it’s too bad that during this campaign that everyone would forget Obama is the pres. and listen to him as a person, like Romney is being listened to. Obama has continually blamed someone else for his mis-managing of things. I have a relative that is in and out of the middle east and know for fact that Obama is not liked there, so much for his lie about diplomacy.. This is the same man/pres. that stood and announced on TV to all of us that he felt that since that the military was a volunteer org., that then they should have to pay for their own insurance when injured.. now during the campaign, he and his wife love the military.. this is a farce!! Shoving Obamacare down our throats was the final straw for me, we as Americans should have been able to vote for it! Since he has been in office, our liberties, one by one have been stripped away.. Oh, now there is talk of the United Nations come in and monitoring some of the polling places while we vote!! What is that? Who is asking them to do this? This is absurd!! Our National Guard could do this just as well and at least they are all Americans. I could go on and on.. I just ask that all of us, Dems and Rep. please look at both sides, not just one.. research and watch videos, don’t just buy the lies.. Then vote from a more informed position.
truthhunter13

Are you serious?. Listen to what Romney had to say?. I actually did listen to him in debates 2 and 3. All I heard and saw were gaffes and outright lies. If President Obama gets re-elected things WILL get better, trust me. There’s no need to get confrontational and testy to get the truth out, right?.

Please take you head out of your a####le to research what you wrote. If you are watching MSNBC or reading the NY Times than you need to widen your sphere of information. If you think that Obama is out for all americans, you are very wrong. Have you read the Obamacare bill — the one he promised would be posted on the net for 48 to 72hours for all to read, it wasn’t and instead we got more lies and more lies from him. The people who voted on it didn’t even have that opportunity, yet they blindly voter for that catastrophe. I hope Romney and the legislative branch will dump it and write a new bill that doesn’t rob Peter to pay Paul.
Jim Johnson

I see the nature of the Republican grift very clearly.

Behind all the Republican “ideas” are only oligarchs, rascists and the privileged 1% who are basically just selfish and greedy. They can read and follow Ayn Rand all they want and try to make their grift appear sensible — noble even.

Sadly, these Republican traitors resort to name calling and SuperPAC donations and, eventually renouncing their citizenship so they can run to their tax havens and “freedom.”

They are just spoiled little rich brats who could use a lot more integrity. I am sick and tired of their grifting.

Do you have any idea of how to discuss real life issues — or can you only discuss the things you think you see in your crystal ball? Can you discuss any possible solutions, or are you limited to merely dreaming up baseless threats?
hilandar1000

Your words indicate that YOU, in your infinite wisdom (or lack thereof), have read the Obamacare legislation cover to cover. If you have read it at all, you’d better read it again in it’s entirety because you evidently missed a good bit of the provisions. What you call a catastrophe has proven to be a source of hope and security for those who could not get medical coverage because of a pre-existing condition, people whose children had reached their lifetime medical insurance cap before their 5th birthday, or parents whose recently graduated son or daughter could not be covered on their parents insurance policy in the interim time between graduation and such time that they could find a job that provided their own insurance coverage. These are only a few of the benefits of Obamacare that are already of benefit to the people of this nation. I’m sure you will find many other benefits when you read the entire document once more in order to “widen your sphere of information”. You certainly are in need of more information besides the distortions you are being fed on Fox Fantasy Channel.

Jim , you ARE paranoid ! AND it’s not up to you to descide where someone NEEDS tax cuts. And you have distribuition on wealth upside down, the poor don’t pay taxes to be distributed !
hilandar1000

In your small mind, you may THINK that Jim is paranoid, although it’s evident you probably don’t even know what the term means. In reality, it is YOU who are badly misinformed. The poor do pay taxes. They pay sales taxes on everything they buy which, among other things, pays for roads that they probably can’t use because they can’t afford to buy a car. On the other hand, the wealthy often do not pay as much of a percentage of their income as the middle class. Yet they benefit more than the middle class from those taxes than does the middle class. They use the highways and railroads to transport their goods to market. They use airports that are subsidized by tax dollars. They use public utilities such as water treatment facilities to fill their pools. These are just a few things that the wealthy benefit more from than the general population while not paying their fair share of taxes. So, in the real world, it is you who have things upside down.

Since many of the 47% are elderly and or disabled where would you suggest they work. Do people ever get to retire? What about the soldier sailors and marines who are part of that 47%? Do they need to get part time jobs? Where does it stop?
http://www.facebook.com/helen.major.372 Helen Major

I am part of the 47% and have worked all my adult life. I am 61 years old and have watched friends and co-workers lose jobs to outsourcing-high paying jobs shipped to India in particular, since I work in IT. The only taxes that cost jobs in my industry were the tax breaks to people like Romney at Bain who made a fortune taking those jobs away from American citizens.
boyoboyoboy

By the way, have you examined the makeup of the “47%”?

…most of them are too poor to even pay taxes…they don’t make enough money and are below the “poverty line”.

..the rest of them use legal tax deductions (medical care, caring for elderly dependents) to reduce their tax liability to zero!

…but no, the Right is insisting that all of these people are draining the system. Do you also know that quite a few of our people serving in the military have to get food stamps just to be able to afford to feed their families?? No, bet you didn’t know that…

toptwome

President Obama has been able to help this country recover from the republican recession. That has been with job creation in the private sector. Romney and Ryan have done nothing to help our country with job creation or with anything at all. I call it treasonous when a party is so pathologically against doing anything when so many people are struggling. They sure talk about them, but when it comes down to helping the middle class they aren’t going to do one thing. They won’t do anything but show fealty to Grover Norquist with tax cuts as the answer to any issue. We know that tax cuts are what they really want more than any concern or any care about average Americans.

You spew lies and propaganda, just like the rest of the brainwashed followers of the GOP. Mitt Romney is a snake oil salesman with nothing but dollar signs in his eyes. He doesn’t care for the average American. He will do just like Bush, rake in a bunch of cash for his bankster and corporation buddies and leave us in the dirt trying to figure out what happened. By the way, where is Bush and Chaney? Don’t see them out endorsing their boys.

withanh2

Before you cast stones at Romney about not caring, please do the research. Check charity donations from Obama/ Biden compared to Romney/Ryan. Your “not caring” statement will go out the window! Real charity and caring starts at home and with personal giving! Obama and Biden care nothing for anyone but their own!

imax_patriot

Maybe you need to revisit your facts, or is it better to just ignore the facts when they don’t fit in with your story. The 47 % is mostly made up of soldiers fighting wars , older people who are retired and don’t make enough money to pay taxes and probably those just like Romney and Ryan who are able to hide and shelter their money from taxation, the only path to prosperity they are interested in is their own and those like them.

The reason we are where we are today is because of the failed policies of the past that protect those who make money on the backs of the middle class, the 99%, they are the ones that don’t care about this country and what it stands for

The health care act protects all of us from those able bodies that you mention above who have no health insurance and use the health system anyway, guess what, that is not free health care we all pay for that.

The legacy Obama leaves behind is that he brought back the respect this country deserve after the shameless action of the last cowboy president, is it any wonder that no one in the republican party will even speak his name or anyone associated with him today.

Fed up, do you really truly believe that 47% of Americans are not working and are freeloading off the govt? Go find a person serving in one of armed forces and tell them exactly how you feel…

Better yet, go find some elderly folks that have worked their entire lives, and are now getting the deserved social security that they have paid into and Medicare that is helping to absorb their medical costs so they aren’t homeless…..

These people my friend are amongst the 47% of bums that Romney so proudly spoke of that weren’t capable of taking care of themselves. He’s an idiot, and he will NOT be the next president.

And I suppose we will get these people to work by closing down companies like Sensata Tech and outsourcing their jobs to China, only after the employees have first trained the chinese workers to do THEIR jobs. This is happening NOW! For added info, Romneys’ brain child, the BAIN grp owns 50% of Sensata so tell us how thats going to get jobs for good hard working American people?

Doug, not quite – I would like to repeal everything you mentioned and a lot more except for civil rights. The UNaffordable health care act is my top priority. Medicaid and medicare are next. Social Security is fine if YOU want to pay the bills to make it solvent – but then I expect you feel the rich should do that for you. Incidently, I am a senior citizen and I see all the harm your favorite socialistic dole-outs have done to our once great country. If you get your wish and you Socialists (yes you are-even though you’ll say you aren’t) win the upcoming election, in four years you will probably join in the riots protesting the Government.

Robby, you better do some massive checking — you are wrong on ALL counts! Since you obviously have computer capabilities, you could certainly check your facts better than you did before writing what you did about green companies, food stamp recipients and unemployment rates. Even Romney’s own campaign admits his figures were wrong in the debate.

Please let us know where is the money coming from for all of these wonderful things father Obama is bequiting to us. Are you willing to pay for it out of your pocket? Our original free healthcare for the poor system was destroyed by the lawyers, who care nothing for the poor. Now these same lawyers are running our government, making laws, and guarenteeing that the lawyes stay rich. Voting for lawyers (over 2/3 of our congress in Washinton is made up of Lawyers today) should be illegal. They perpetrate their guild’s interest and ignore the good of the people and the Nation.

Dougie, you should actually read a history book. Republicans under Lincoln fought and won the civil war to free the slaves from Democrat rule in the South. After the war, Democrats instituted Jim Crow and Democrats fought against the Civil rights movement. NOT A SINGLE MAJOR LEADER IN THE JIM CROW SOUTH WAS A REPUBLICAN IN 1961. That is the historical facts. Today, black communities in cities run by Republicans or a mix of Republicans and Democrats are far better educated and wealthier than those in cities ruled by Democrats longer than 20 years. measure it in terms of college, high school graduation, home ownership, net income adjusted for region, etc.

joanc

If Obama wanted to get people back to work, why did he place so many rules and regs. on businesses. Romney and Ryan do not want to do the things you listed, you have been listening to the lies from this administration, and unfortunatly believe them. Have you heard how the Libya murders of An American Ambassador and three other US citizens, happened, and how they requested more security,, but were declined by DC bereaucrats. The lies and duplicity that streamed from Obama, Rice, Clinton and Carney are shameful. It was three weeks before the FBI went to the scene, although the liars in DC told us peons that they were there earlier. What could they study after three weeks of the scene without being secured? You also mentioned the Civil War as if the Democrats won it to free the slaves, which is very wrong, the GOP under Lincoln were the ones who freed the slaves, against the will of the Democrats, who have been taking credit for it ever since. The affordable care act is not so affordable, as we are just finding out. It is already causing businesses, to cut the hours of full time staff to part time to avoid paying for that flawed affordable care bill. How will it impact those who will have to take two part time jobs to pay their bills. Wonderful bill isn’t it? NOT ! Now about Rowe Vs Wade from 1973 —– Why do you think the slaughter of innocent babies is such a good thing? I bet you are one who protests the death sentence for those who brutally murdered others, but the bleeding hearts feel sorry and fight to save them. How about looking at the chopped up baby after abortion, nobody gives them a second thought, and they never had the chance to draw a first breath. The ambulance won’t come for some, when the Obama death panels decide the person is expendable, Romney -Ryan team in 2012 will put America back on track!

Affordable Health Care Act – I have had two insurance companies drop us by going out of business and now that it is “affordable” my premiums have gone up 25% and my deductible 500%. On the last point you are right. We do not give up – ever. So be afraid, very afraid.

It IS a conspiracy.

And Obama has been President for nearly 4 years and we still don’t know what his plan is but that is OK. He put together the Simpson Bowles commission and totally ignored their recommendations to stimulate the economy because they went against his Marxist vision for Amerika. He has not passed a budget so we lowly taxpayers can see where our taxes are going yet he wants us to pay more. Even if those millionaires and Billionaires gave every cent of their income to the government it would not make a dent in the deficit but hey, we would all feel better. That is not a plan it is class warfare. Typical lib response, If a conservative states we need to cut back on entitlements by 5% you scream that they want to end the program and throw people out on the streets and let people starve. Every time I try to have an honest discussion with a democrat on the problems facing this country I am amazed at how little they understand reality and how ignorant they are of the FACTS. If Obamy wins in November and the country slides even further into the abyss all of you believers are going to have to start facing reality and it ain’t gonna be pretty.

And you’re not paying attention. Over TWO THOUSAND anti-women pieces of legislation have been brought up across America by the GOP in the last three years. In AZ a new law considers a woman pregnant two weeks prior to her period.

The above demonstrates why “conservatives” are going to lose 70% of the female vote.

Evantoo

Not too bright, are you? The 47% that do not pay taxes is a number that comes from the government- specifically the IRS.
That number is calculated to include all those who have receive more from the government than they paid into it. The result is getting a check BACK from the government.
I am IN that 47% that is referred to so often. I have an income of over 60K a year. I pay an adjusted Federal Income Tax rate that, after deductions, requires me to pay several thousand in income taxes. BUT, I ALSO get a Social Security check (due to age) which is more than I pay the IRS in income taxes. The SS check, when compared to the income taxes I pay, results in ME getting MORE from the government than I send them.
This, because I EFFECTIVELY pay $O in taxes, places me into that 47% group that “pays no taxes”!
I am NOT offended by Mr. Romney’s comment since it is true. I AM offended by the political party that I will not vote for in this coming Presidential election which has had my support for decades being so viciously nasty to people who know the facts and speaks about them accurately. Mr Obama will NOT get my support this time around BECAUSE he has been an embarrassment to me and the country. And people like you are a good part of the reason that I am so disgusted with my party.
What is it that you people have against our country that you hate so much of and that you seem so oblivious of?
Sorry, “MsJoanne”, but your viciousness is not something I care to support anymore.
Facts speak for themselves, you speak for whomever feeds you a line.
I suggest you learn to vet the garbage we’ve been dumping on the US and the Republicans for years. I have, and the true facts are not pleasant to see.

MsJoanne

I have no idea what you’re complaining about. Yes, you’re in the 47%. So you’re agreeing that you’re a lazy loafer who’s going to get a job so you can pay taxes? Huh? But f that makesyou feel better, good for you.

And what viciousness you don’t like, other than calling some schmoe who told me to get him a sandwich a jacka$s, which I stand by, again…no idea.

Some of these comments are instructive as to the true manic nature of the Obamaist mentality. In point of fact, it’s Obama who wishes to cut medicare, through his unconstitutional government takeover of the health care industry.
The fact is, leftists cannot live with the notion that others do not want leftists in control of & regulating their lives. Their real desire is to see anyone who wishes to interfere with their destructive policies dead. The historical record of leftists is clear. If you interfere, you usually end up killed or in jail. This has worked overseas, but doesn’t work in America, where the penchant for freedom is still greater than the desire to be offered false security from extremists seeking power. Thankfully, the psychotics are being exposed at this time, & the independent voters are aware. Their desperation is being made starkly evident, & their power is slipping away. Those who yearn for freedom celebrate this.

If you’re concerned about spending, you should not be voting GOP. Reagan ran up the largest debt of all time before GW Bush who ran up the largest debt in American history. Dems are significantly better at controlling spending. Look at stats since 1980 and don’t believe the lies the GOP peddles about tax and spending Dems. We pay for spending. The GOP borrows and spends. Dems also spend here for Americans. Bush Jr spent trillions in wars.

Ms.Joanne,
You would have to explain why Obama took $716,000,000,000 of benefits from the Medicare Trust Fund in order to pay for the uninsured and illegals on Obamacare…in order to justify your opinion. MITT ROMNEY plans to put those benefits back into Medicare so that it remains solvent. It is illegal for Obama and Timothy Geithner to use funds from TRUST funds, except for the beneficiaries who have contributed to the TRUST.
(Seniors)
Delores Smith
Delores109@cox.net

MsJoanne

That money is going into the PPACA (Obamacare) which provides wider services to seniors than Medicare (and to other Americans). Rimney wants to take that money completely out of Medicare (see the Ryan budget – same amount) to give tax cuts mostly to people who don’t need them. The reason they want to do that is to then say that Medicare isn’t solvent so they can rid US of Medicare and convert it to a voucher system where you, a senior, gets to go buy your own insurance from for profit health insurance companies. They plan on getting rid if Ibamacare which means that there will no longer be laws against recissions (where insurance companies cancel your insurance because you cost them too much) and if you have preexisting conditions, you’re in your own. Rimney lied about that during the debate and his people walked back his statement that he’d cover those with preexisting conditions only if they had continuous coverage – which is current law. Romney is not offering any help to those who don’t have employer offered insurance, nothing to people with preexisting conditions what-do-ever.

MsJoanne, did you ever actually watch “Soylent Green”? Do you understand that people were killed to make the food? Who supports killing live people today? Who supports abortion without question? Who supports Euthanasia? Who supports infanticide (Mr. Obama is on record as an state Senator actively supporting infanticide) ? how far is it to take the final steps in that movie? And who has already walked the first steps? That group is heavily weighted with a Democrat majority.

MsJoanne

First off, it’s the Democratic Party, so you might want to step outside of your right wing bubble, otherwise you’ll sound stupid.

Putting seniors out in the private insurance market with a voucher to assist in paying “premium support” is going to result in seniors not getting care. 20-something’s have enough problems understanding coverages, limitations, exceptions, etc. is hard enough. Asking a senior to traverse that market is cruel. So, yes, privatizing Medicare is going to result in dead people. (See my other comments, I won’t repeat it all again.)

As for Obsma and infanticide, spare me. Again, you’re reading and believing right wing talking points. I’d go through them but its unlikely you really care about truth so I’ll leave that alone.

You and the rest if GOP supporters are being lied to, over and over, about pretty much everything, but you don’t care. And that’s a crying shame as many if you are voting against your own best interests. And you’re allowing it, to your own detriment.

joanc

Ms.Joanne, i’m sorry to see that you are drinking spiked kool aid. If you are satisfied with way the country is being pushed into Socialism, than you need to do some research to find the things you listed are all Obama and his teams propoganda. Please wake up to the lies and how our Constitution and Federal law are being completely ignored by the President. Where are the checks and balances designed to ensure that one of the three branches of Government does not overstep their boundries? It seems as if Obama completly disregards the system which has worked for the USA for years. He was elected to serve the country,not to rule it as he appears to be doing. His actions have caused loss of jobs, implemented many rules and regulations, lied about the Libya killing of Chris Stevens, stopped the pipeline and the jobs it would have opened fo US citizens, Back door amnesty,Fast and furious gun walking. I could go on and on, but I’m sure you get my message. I have to ask you if you have ever seen any other President make so many decisions that only worked to bring America’s economy to it’s knees. Think about it !

MsJoanne

Our country is not being pushed into Socialism. The sole purpose of government is to serve the people, be it defense of people, creating laws to maintain a functioning society, or what have you. That is not Socialism (or Marxism or Communism, whichever word the right likes to throw around).

This president is not ignoring the Constitution, law or checks and balances. Obama has signed less executive orders than either Bush, Clinton or Reagan. In what way has he done any of the things you say…because legislation was passed without Republican support? That’s the GOP’s fault (and Obama doesn’t pass laws, Congress does).

Since Obama was elected we have had 39 consecutive periods of growth in the economy. The stock market has doubled. Private business is sitting on trillions of dollars in profit. Private sector has grown every month. Jobs are no longer going away by almost a million a month (we have gained private sector jobs every month since mid 2009). We still have too much unemployment but a good 1.5% has been loss of public sector jobs, jobs who serve people (teachers, police, etc.) but they are jobs none the less.

About Libya, one would think that as evidence comes to light, the story of what happened would change. Why right wingers want to send kids out of this country when this is the only home they have ever known isn’t just wrong, it is cruel. Because their parents came here illegally, children should not have to pay for that. Many don’t even speak a language other than English.

You guys twist facts to make a big deal out of nothing, and make a bad deal for US (like the whole debt ceiling disaster…raising the debt ceiling allows us to pay for prior spending, not increase future spending, but the GOP decided to hold the US credit rating hostage, as they have held many other things hostage throughout Obama’s term).

Imagine what government could have done for The People had the GOP decided to participate in government instead of try to thwart it at every move.

It might behoove you to read/watch something other than right wing media. While Obama is far from perfect (no president is), he is hardly the evil you guys make him out to be. Step out of your bubble.

joanc

Your thinking is off key. It is not the GOP that will bring us down, we are already two thirds of the way there thanks to Obama and his radical ideas. His actions have caused our credit rating to be lowered for the first time ever, his rules and regulations have done nothing to help the economy, but has caused small business owners to fail. Big Business owners are next in line because they find it too expensive to operate with the impossible burdens placed on them. We are dealing with no jobs, $4.00 plus gas, higher electricity bills, and a failed foreign policy brought on by Obama making us look weak by bowing to our enemies, and thumbing his nose at our only allies. You mentioned the forty seven percent that pay no taxes, are you talking about the people who think all their freebies come from Obama’s stash. The other day we found out about free phones paid for by taxpayers on their own cell phone statement. This is a program originaly meant for true indigents, but Obama inflated it to an impossible number, one Baltimore woman bragged that she had 30 free phones, and she gladly displayed them to the press. If this is what you want, then we are in for some big suprises if Obama gets reelected. God Help us, because no one else will.

Will you leftist twerps never cease to lie to yourselves? So you like Social Security? How are you going to like it when its broke? You like Medicare? How are you going to like it when it can’t pay your medical bills? Your problem is that you never learned math. Has it escaped your attention that Obama and his lackeys have not produced a single suggestion as to how to preserve Medicare and Social Security other than to print money (in case you haven’t noticed, borrowing no longer fills the gap)?

Mitt Romney chose Paul Ryan as his running mate to rally the base and address the doubts that so many Republicans have about his conservative credentials. Republicans, and Tea Party members in particular, are well aware of Mitt Romney’s record as Governor of Massachussetts and they are very uncomfortable with it and with some of the statements Mitt made in the past on issues such as abortion and healthcare. The problem for the Romney campaign is that Ryan’s plan to privatize Social Security, dismantle MEDICARE, gut MEDICAID and eliminate taxes on dividends, capital gains and inheritances is so anti-middle class that it only appeals to those in the fringes. Add Mitt Romney’s gaffes to the equation and they are a recipe for disaster. They are not being rejected by most Americans because they are two-headed monsters, they are being rejected because their plans and vision would affect so many people, and benefit so few, that they are simply unacceptable for anyone able to rationalize thought.

Jim Lou

The problem with Romney is that he has no firm thoughts of his own. He says what he thinks his audience wants to hear.

His choice of Ryan is just an extension of that. He wanted to curry favor with that part of the Republican party.

nic78

I think that’s why Romney has so many gaffes and is so wooden; he is going against every original thought in his brain and having to parrot all the voices that are lining his pockets and hope something “sticks” on the wall. Although I want to believe Rmoney’s an imbecile, he couldn’t have gotten as far as he did in the business world by being an idiot, I just think he’s got too many people telling him things he doesn’t really believe.

For Romney, everyday is a blank slate. He is an a-moral robot who is more than a casual flip-flopper, he is a flat out liar!

Doesn’t one of you left wingers ever pick up a newspaper? Don’t you understand that the battle is not just about free health care and all of the little perks you liberals want to go along with that, it’s about FREEDOM, SAFETY, & FAIRNESS in our own country. Our freedoms are on the line as our constitution is being taken apart. Our safety is being jeopardized as we’re appeasing terrorists and not protecting our diplomats and military in the middle east. These are real people with real families and they are being murdered while the WH covers it’s butt. It’s not fair that people are being given food stamps because their are no jobs that pay enough. WAKE UP! EDUCATE YOUSELVES! Romney has very firm and realistic ideas that do not have to be read on a screen. Ryan is awesome and and a far better choice than Biden was! They will get our economy going again and Americans working again and they will do it as a team, not as Dictator and Gaffee!

From an Air Force wife since 1983…I don’t need a President whose words are soothing and hypnotic but full of BULLCRAP> I need a REAL COMMANDER IN CHIEF who tells it like it is for my country….That’s the U.S.A.

Honestly they feed of the Walker vibe in WI and thought bringing Ryan on would keep that vibe going. However what they failed to realize is that WI is full of morons. I live here, it shames me. Now we have Walker (the anti-christ) back in power and Ryan as VP hopeful OMG kill me now! Once you get outside of Milwaukee and Madison Wisconsin is nothing more then racist hillbillys. It’s sad but true.

AKRNC

Considering President Obama is ahead by 6 to 8 points in most polls for WI, there’s still hope for your state. I was shocked they didn’t vote Walker out but it looks like they’re going to make up for that huge mistake in the general election. What would really top everything, would be Ryan not getting re-elected to the House.
http://profile.yahoo.com/HFYZP2APYPP7H6PWS2ZDQRWFEQ Hillbilly

Alex I agreed with all of your statements except the one that calls the racists in your state hillbillies. The majority of hillbillies aren’t racists and I should know as I am a hillbilly and proud of it. A hillbilly is someone that works hard and tries to help others we are not like the cartoon character Lil’ Abner nor are we like the people that books, movies, and TV betray us to be. We are hard working and judge people on what they do not the color of their skin, their religion or their sex and help people that need help without making a big to do about it. There many people that consider themselves to be hillbillies that have very high IQ’s but don’t brag about, just use that high IQ to improve the world. So instead of calling the racists in your state hillbillies just call them racists especially since the people that are real hillbillies were one of the first groups of people that judged others on their work ethic not the color of their skin. This hillbilly voted for Obama in 2008 and will vote for him again this year as will all of her hillbilly friends.

Most Republicans aren’t “wingnuts.” By trying to appeal to the most radical and loudest of the conservatives, and the ones with the most money, they’ve made a whole lot of the more moderate very nervous. That’s why they’re backpeddling and ‘clarifying.’ However, Ryan is exceptionally poor at it and I felt sorry for his mom, while I was smiling widely at my fellow AARP members stating their opinions clearly.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Jo-Hargis/100002882420472 Jo Hargis

Sure, most aren’t wingnuts, but they’ve sat here for the last four years and said ZIP while they go along with the wingnut agenda. I just have no sympathy for the GOP. The moderates sold themselves out for votes.
http://www.facebook.com/thomas.price.1675 Thomas Price

Quite a few of GOP members are radically religious. These folks are also some of the most wealthy, and the most ignorant of reality. Take for example Todd “Legitimate Rape” Akin. He has a B.S in Engineering, however his highest degree is a Masters in Divinity from the Covenant Theological Seminary. And this man sits on the commitee of Science, Space, ad Technology, a position he is clearly not qualified for. Then we have someone like Rick Perry. In an interview last week, he admitted that he not only believes the devil is a real person, but that Satan is responsible for the separation of church and state in America. By his logic, he is telling us that our Forefathers, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and many others, were possessed by demons while they drafted the U.S. Constitution. And he is the governor of fucking Texas. People voted for him. People support his values.

Most of my Republican friends are more driven by social issues such as abortion and same sex marriage than economic matters, in part because most are well off and the economic downturn has either not affected them or they benefited from it.

Ryan is like a fish out of water, he and his plan of vouchers estimated at $8,000 for the seniors to replace medicare is just right down Godly wrong. The vouchers won’t cover as much as medicare does now, forcing old people to take more of their Social Security checks to buy an insurance policy, that is going to try to get out of paying every dime they can. Most of you that are reading this are probably as old as I am, and have seen insurance companies procedures of figuring out a way to not have to pay no more than they have to. So with Ryan’s plan, pay for your vouchers(even if you don’t, it shows up later), then deal with figuring out what you do without, to pay this insurance premium. or cut down on food, forget about Things & people you love.They say of course that this won’t effect present seniors. But if they have to use this to get re-elected, if they win, you can bet they will start enforcing the results as soon as possible. Even if they didn’t use it for years as they claim, what about the 328,000,000 workers that are supposed to save (instead of social security and medicare) that don’t end up with a big wad of money because they had to spend part, or all, their money to help keep loved ones alive, or just get sidetracked some other way. Just heard Ryan on tv talking about being part of the problem or part of the solution, Romney and Ryan’s theory is definately part of the problem.

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_EX72O35TSTYBUQIWMJCWJBWOGA Mike

It’s really quite simple. If the insurance company denies you life-saving medication after you paid your premiums, and you know you’ll kick the bucket soon, it’s time to declare open season on their asses. I recommend AK-47 with lots of ammo. You’ll need a lot of ammo for when the employees check out to go home. Or, maybe, you can call a fire alarm and have the enemy come out, at which time you can mow them down with a truck before opening fire on those who got away.

All you all are forgetting is Oshama and his propensity for either being the worst haggler of all time, or , as I suspect, just another corporatist who wants what Romney /Ryan want, only not so radical.

Remember, he already has agreed to cut corporate taxes, while getting rid of loopholes(giggle, giggle) and is more than willing to cut, but not slash(the term he uses, as Cenk Uygur points out) M and M and SS. His second term will tell all, as he will not need to pretend to be a liberal anymore and can pursue his true agenda, which to me is clearly right of center, just not batshit crazy right like Romney/Ryan. The next four years will be interesting.

MICHAELNOLO:
This article is about Paul Ryan’s Disgrace and Romney’s bizarre choice for a VP running mate.
Did you actually read the authors article?

Quoting the article:

“From the moment Mitt Romney announced Ryan as his running mate, the congressman has been running from specifics of his famed Ryan Budgets, which had made him the darling of the conservative movement. This was to be expected… and a bit ironic, as Romney had adopted nearly all of Ryan’s ideas when his campaign was crumbling in the primary. Ryan’s downfall began when his harmless fib about his marathon time was closely followed by a widely panned convention speech where his disregard for the truth came off as deliberate and invidious. This immediately cut into his image as someone who told “hard truths.” …Instead he used half-truths and flat-out lies in order to make an unprincipled case against the president….Even before Mitt Romney selected Ryan, Democracy Corps was finding that his budget could be a huge drag on Republicans across the country. But that was just a theory. Now that Ryan’s on the ticket, we’re going to get to see directly how Paul Ryan’s ideas do on a national scale….What looks increasingly more likely is that Ryan’s vision for America, which Mitt Romney was forced to adopt, will be soundly rejected.”

MICHAELNOLO: Why bring up your obvious propaganda motive to intentionally change the subject so you can attack Obama? What does your statement: “His second term will tell all, as he will not need to pretend to be a liberal anymore and can pursue his true agenda, which to me is clearly right of center, just not batshit crazy right like Romney/Ryan. The next four years will be interesting….” have ANYTHING to do with the article and subsequent discussion by others posting here trying to a have a rational dialog?

You seem to mimmick the thoughts of those fascist professional propagandists like Rove, Limbaugh,Beck and Fox FAUX News. Spread lies, distortions about Obama.

Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels said it best:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” (likeFox FAUX News, Limbaugh, Beck and Rove believe)
or as Adolph Hitler stated:

Romney made a great choice because Ryan is one of the few people in the U.S. to make him seem honest since Ryan is even a bigger liar than Romney. I don’t think people realize what an amazing accomplishment Ryan’s speech was at the Republican Convention. It isn’t that easy to give an entire speech and not tell the truth about anything. I guess Ryan goes by the saying the first thousand lies are the toughest. After that they just roll off the tongue effortlessly. Congratulations, Mr. Ryan, for this great accomplishment.

Paul Ryan has successfully put into the table for discussion the dreaded words :Social Security and Medicare.As one of the workers ACTIVELY contributing to both systems for the last 27 years[by the way I always held 2 jobs] ,I want to paraphrase Paul Ryan,”bring it on!’.
I feel so sorry that his message of reforming the system to PRESERVE it has been distorted to the voters as ENDING it.This is blatant DISINFORMATION by the Democrats to scare the voters.Please remember that the 53% supporting the 47% will also age.At the rate this anti job administration is going,their replacement is not yet in the horizon.
If we do not reform the system,..WHERE WILL THE MONEY COME FROM???
Please think before you vote.If you want a reformed Social Security and Medicare to be there for you when you need it vote for Governor Romney.

Sorry my comment was not a direct linear comment on the article. My intent was simply to note that Oshama will, when reelcted, make deals with these bat shit crazy repubs and will meet them a lot more than half way, per usual, despite having the power to drive a far better bargain, better, that is, if he were a liberal, something his first term most assuredly proved to me that he is not.

Regarding who I listen to, it’s not Limpballs, the draft dodger(I’m aVietnam Vet, who is strongly anti-war, thus one of the many reasons I’m no fan of Oshama, not to mention the rest of those D.C. warmongers, most of whom have never been in, or would ever be in combat), or any other right winger. MSNBC is too far to the right for me; the only people I listen to are Cenk Uygur and Eliot Spitzer.

If I am wrong about Oshama, I will be only too glad, but I have no doubt that he will approve the Keystone XL, which, by the way, if Cameron is correct, it’s game over for our planet, the TPP and will clearly make the “grand bargain” that drives a large rod up our rectums while preserving the military empire all the D.C. fuck heads get a hard on over. Do you think he won’t do any or all of that?

As far as my political inclination, I’m way far left of the dem party, a party whose rightward drift, if you are anywhere near my age(65) is something both sad and undeniable. The policy of voting for the lesser of two evils, something the D.C. establishment is only to glad to see being followed, has left us with a man whose background appears to be liberal, but whose policies are corporatist to the core.

So you’re right; my intent was to slam Oshama, but only using facts; something the right will not do, because the facts only point to his being one of them only not so exteme as they have become.

When Osham’s second term is over, we’ll all know the true core of this man, and then the irreperable damage this man has done to the party, even worse than the know it all Clinton, the man who gave us NAFTA and Wall Street deregulation with his repub cronies, will be something for you and those who keep voting for dinos to ponder over.

Good night, as I have to read over Prop 32 here in Ca. so I can make phone calls tomorrow on behalf of my union. Vote No on 32, Californians, it’s a corporatist trick, just like Oshama.

Wishful thinking by a columnist who is a bagboy for the left. Ryan tells inconvenient truths. Medicare is broke and must be reformed, just like social security. But anyone who tells the truth is excoriated by the wolves who wish to lead us down the path of debt and utter dependence on government. On one side we have a party which tells us they can keep printing money and create happiness for all by killing business with ridiculous regulations. On the other side, we have a movement which would enlighten people with the knowledge that entitlements cannot be sustained without an inevitable collapse. We can choose fiscal sanity or the bliss that leads to destruction. I don’t even care any more. If people are stupid enough to elect Obama again, they can keep the hell he is creating.

You think that just because taxes will be raised on the rich, Obama is a marxist? You have no idea what you’re talking about. Taxes were that high during Reagan’s term, and nobody called him a marxist. You feel that affordable medicine is bad for the country? The entire civilized world has socialized medicine. That’s what makes them civilized – their children don’t go to bed hungry, and the elderly can enjoy their golden years knowing that they will be cared for in their time of need. However, they are not an empire, wasting trillions on weapons and wars of aggression. That makes a big difference. Some classes in society may benefit from endless wars, however, the great majority of the simple people do not benefit from it, on the contrary, they suffer when the country’s resources are directed to the outside. At least if we’d be able to colonize these countries, I could see the point, but we just go, destroy the country, then try to rebuild it. Why?

The cNational Memo written by and cintended to advance the radical left agenda of Obama and the Democrat party. Why National ? Do conservatives not have a stake in a national memo that does not advocate for the Democrat party “talking points” that the left does not want givcen any credibility?
To attempt to deny that Romney and Ryan have presented credible budget proposals while Obama presents budgets that can’t even get a handfull of votes cfrom his own parerty and continues to run up $1+ trillion annual deficits every year of his presidency and ignores his own claim that he would be a 1 term president if he couldn’t cut deficit in 1/2 in this 1st term. How about “transparency” as we are sdtill finding new outrageoudes facts buried in Obamacare (Affordable? Care Act!).
Aside from the fact that the main stream media controls the information available generally to the public it is supposed to serve as a watchdog of government this kind of propaganda is almost as distructive. There i9s clearly a problem with the absense of ctruth in the supposed analysis by the left of anyone or anytrhing espoused by anyone not from the radical leftist , statist big government share the wealth via “entitlements and government empolyment.”
Increasing “Dependency on Government” for the most part trumps truthful anaylsis as voters dependent upon government for their livlihood is the objective so as to grow voters who will perpetuate liberals in office and grow government some more!

Hence lets hAVE A NATIONAL MEMO THAT SAYS ROMNEY/RYAN IS A MISTAKE!
Perhaps then all those Unemployment pay and Food Stamp Recipients and Government “Entitlement” Recipients and Government Employees who depend on the tax paying citizens will respond and vote to ensure the taxpayers concerns are not given enough priority to interfere with the continuation of the ideological march to the left they need to see grow!

You’re an idiot if you believe a word you just said. Ryan is going to make Biden look like a joke, which most of us already know he is.
RJnLA

We will remember, when one of the more brilliant fiscal minds in Congress, came forward with an honest, concise, clear and feasible plan to insure that the elderly and the impoverished were able to maintain their government-sponsored medical care for the foreseeable future…and he was instead lambasted as heartless, evil, shifty and homicidal towards Medicare recipients.

IF THE FREAKING PROGRAM is going BANKRUPT, you are defending a ghost. The President is selling you the apparition of today’s Medicare as a way to secure the votes of the elderly who only care about their benefits (and give the middle finger to their children and grandchildren who will not be able to afford any of these inflated and insolvent programs, especially at 15%+ real unemployment).

What Mr. Ryan proposed was a fiscally sound method of preserving care for those that need it, not promising care to everyone, and then running the distribution of care through the government. You know how that works? Go research the Apollo Alliance and the history of eugenics, going back to before Woodrow Wilson. I love to hear the liberals decry conservative principles as paranoid or murderous. You blathering idiots. Learn to the math. Our birth rate in the US is collapsing, and the tax base that has funded SSI and Medicare for decades is NO LONGER THERE. You think the wealthy will sit there and swallow 70% ordinary income tax rates and 25% capital gains tax rates just because you think it’s ‘fair’ ? How much revenue will that generate? Their wealth will move, fast, to a lower tax environment. And the phantom tax revenue that those increased tax rates would generated has been SPENT ALREADY. The Democrat-led management of the economy over the last four years has been objectively abysmal. They used a $2tril band-aid on a severed arm. It will only hold so long, unless plans like Ryan’s are seriously considered. The jig is up.

Please, before a liberal opens their mouth about any candidate’s competencies for the highest office, PLEASE learn economics, PLEASE learn budgetary math, PLEASE learn the true costs of supporting social programs, PLEASE learn about the generational poverty and chronic unemployment that these programs enable, PLEASE learn that the conservatives of America donate WAY MORE time and WAY MORE private funds to charity and hospitals and research than the artists/musicians/actors/unionists/windbags who defame conservatism as an evil tide drowning the innocent poor souls of America.

Mr. Romney donated more to charity himself than the Obamas paid in taxes in total. I’m not defending Mr. Romney’s candidacy, but he is a Republican, he is marginally conservative, and he puts his money where his mouth is. Rather than hosting $15mil ass-kissing fundraisers at his house, maybe George Clooney and his Hollywood Band of Merrymen should look around at the poverty of East LA, of Santa Ana, of Pacoima, of the Inland Empire, and lift a finger against poverty and lack of medical care right under their own noses. But no, Mr. Clooney lives on Lake Como. Good for him. One day I’ll be his neighbor there too, but I won’t cast stones at people with money who take that money out of the country. Mr. Clooney does it, so should any smart investor. It’s not about outsourcing, not about unAmerican values, not about hating the poor, it’s about intellectual honesty. I voted for Clinton twice and Gore. I was a raging, emotion-filled, a-hole of a Democrat. I never ever voted for Bush. But I know Bush did more for Africa than any other president before him or since. More than that bloviators like Bono, Matt Damon, pick-your-vapid-celebrity-of-the-month. Bush created the Africa Corps, to defend African nations from the rampaging human rights abuses that are the hallmark of radical Islam and the encroachment of Chinese and Russian businesses. That won’t ever get reported.

Read Niall Ferguson. Read Jared Diamond. Read about how the world REALLY works. In 2012, it works on BUSINESS, CAPITAL, OIL, TAX INCENTIVES, RESOURCES. Look around, your world, your American world, is filled with petroleum products. We’re FORCED by the Democrats to get that petroleum in the foreign markets, at high prices. It’s not necessary. It’s killing this economy. We’re forced to have EXCESSIVE regulation on businesses, vs. pointed and harsh punishment on specific violators, we punish great swaths of the economy to exact vengeance and wag a finger at the purported enemy of the poor- when in reality, almost all of the crap that you find in Obamacare and ARRA and Dodd-Frank has hurt the poor even more, by raising the costs of EVERYTHING the poor consume regularly.

You can believe bullshit all day long. Eventually you’ll start smelling like it. Don’t be sheep, don’t be myopic. Educate yourself on the realities of the American economy. The promises of our current president have never been and will never be kept. That’s the cold hard truth if you do the math. Numbers don’t lie.

Many like to say that Obama is a Marxist and socialist, but that is wrong. His idea of govt. is more like communism. Marx’s theory of socialism says, “distribution based on one’s CONTRIBUTION”(to each according to his CONTRIBUTION). The meaning being that based on ones contribution to society in the workforce, they should be aptly rewarded.

Not contributing to society in the workforce, but living off the state, and expecting handouts from the govt. at the expense of those who are contributing to society in the workforce is communism. Communism, a society based on common ownership and the principle of “FROM each according to his ability, TO each according to his needs”.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not heartless and I believe there is a place in society for a “safety net” for those who are TRULY in need and/or disabled, but many on the dole are not. They want what those contributing to society in the workforce have without actually doing the work. This re-distribution of wealth by the govt. is communism and Obama makes no secret of the fact that he’s favors re-distribution of wealth.

In reality socialism and communism are not that far apart. Marxism, and a socialist style of govt. is really only just the first step on the path to communism.
Obama would just rather skip step 1.

It’s time to relieve Obama of his burden, one that he cannot fathom how to lighten, since he has never had a real job. To create jobs you need to have had one.

No one is thinking about our enormous defecit? Ryan was making an attempt to reduce this. I believe that as it was in the begining, those that have no property or pay no taxes should not have the right to vote. Why should people who have no physical stake in the government have a say in how our taxes are used? Basically the downfall of the Roman empire can be attributed to the same thing. The mojarity of the population in Rome became dependent on government handouts. If they didn’t get their bread and circuis/enterteinment they rioted. G iving in to them as we give into all those that take but give nothing is what destroyed the greatest empire that ever existed. We have in Washington one of the most dictatorial and most currupt administrations in our history. Why don’t you addres that instead of picking on those that try to save the country?

smartgeema

You’d better do your homework about Paul Ryan. He is a third generation Wisconsite who has never had to work a day in his life. Ryan’s great-grandfather, his grandfather, and his maternal great-uncles all made millions off government road contracts and land sales, as well as their lucrative private legal practices. Ryan’s mother was independently wealthy when she married Ryan’s father, and Paul Ryan’s public pretense that he was dependent on social security survivors’ benefits for his college tuition was all lies.

Paul Ryan had benefited from three, separate, million-dollar+ inheritances before he was 25 years old, and his net worth at age 30 was $7.7 million dolalrs – even though he had never held a full-time, paying job, in his lifetime.

Facts are wonderful things, chiefbailey. They negate rhetoric and emotional reactionary propaganda – and they insure that TRUTH prevails. You should familiarize yourself with how to discover facts – they will enable you, too, to speak only TRUTH.

All these facts about Paul Ryan were discovered with a simple Google search, and they have all been available in the public doman since well before he ever got tapped to run with Romney. It’s tragic and sad that we still have too many Americans who are so ignorant and poorly educated that they will promote propaganda and outright lies on the say-so of others, rather than to make a serious effort to be certain the only words they ever speak are 100% TRUTH.

Integrity?

I think you must be a paid propagandist for Paul Ryan and his Rethuglicans. Or perhaps you are just mentally ill and in need of treatment.

Paul Ryan is a poseur. He is a man who has never had to earn a living, who married a woman who has never had to earn a living. They have both lied their entire lives, and those closest to them are very aware of their lies.

Together, they have become professional demagogues and liars, supporting the wealthy 1% of Americans who would turn this nation into a oligarchy, officially, if they could.

Ryan is also a liar, probably a pathological one. Just because no one has ever challenged his ongoing lies, which he seems not to even be aware of at times, doesn’t mean that he hasn’t always told them.

Delores109, there is mental health help available in the USA for you, even if you don’t yet have health insurance coverage because of your low income. If you aren’t part of the 47% of Americans whom Mitt Romney has famously written off as people he doesn’t “have to care about”, then you should have already found some mental health treatment for yourself. Good luck to you.

Delores109

smartgeema,
Apparently, you get a “high” in demeaning Paul Ryan, because he has succeded in life. Everything PAUL RYAN has achieved (11 years in the House of Representatives, Chairman of the House Budget Committee, and his degree in Economics) has been on his own, through hard work. When he was 16 years old, he came home to find his 55 year old father dead of a heart attack. He and his mother were both caregivers for his Grandmother who had Alzheimer’s. PAUL RYAN is an intelligent, giving man with integrity, despite your unjustified attacks on him. The reason MITT ROMNEY and PAUL RYAN work well together is that they love this nation, and they are both qualified. MITT ROMNEY has degrees from Harvard: LAW and BUSINESS. We need their ability to clean up the mess that Obama and George Soros have created. OUR FREEDOMS ARE AT STAKE. Obama, Soros & their radicals are MARXISTS.
Your lack of knowledge shows clearly when you distort the 47% figure that the media has
fed you. MITT ROMNEY and PAUL RYAN would like to receive 100% of all of American votes, but they are realistic. Mr. Romney was addressing donors on the video.
You talk percentages when pointing out how you can win an election. 47% of people are not as interested in the fact that Mr. Romney is going to lower taxes, when they don’t pay taxes at all due to low income, etc. This 47% is afraid of losing our FREEDOMS, as most of us are, and most of them will vote ROMNEY/RYAN. Mr. Romney and Mr. Ryan know that Americans want to know how they can help them better their lives. We don’t want to hear percentages of how they can win. WATCH THE PAUL RYAN/JOE BIDEN DEBATE.

ilenerichman

Obama has thrown away trillions of dollars by rescuing the banks, giving money to his bundlers so they can form solar companies, that went bankrupt, turning down the xL pipeline that would have brought thousands of jobs to US, turning down drilling for oil on federal lands, instituting millions of unnecessary regulations. Capitalism is a theory that when businesses fail, they either go out of business or declare bankruptcy. Obama and corrupt Geithner (tax cheat) rescued the banks, gave them taxpayer money so they could borrow at 0% and buy treasuries at 2%, making a gain on the difference and not loaning money to consumers as banks are supposed to do. Obama also rescued GM which still is at a loss and has not paid back the money owned to the US Govt. Romney was correct: GM should have gone into bankruptcy and worked out a deal with creditors in the bankruptcy court. Capitalism is not about giving money to your friends and favorite companies. Obama has given government jobs to his friends-crony capitalism and filled the govt with unelected czars; his Justice Dept keeps lying and now his State Dept is lying about the Libyian affair. Obama created havoc in the Middle East with his 2009 Cairo speech that allowed our allies, although dictators, to be overthrown as Muburak and Qaddafi. He allowed the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda to take control of the Middle East, terrorist groups, one of which killed our Ambassador, two navy seals, and an air force colonel. Obama and Clinton gave no help or assistance to the Libiyan Ambassador although he cried out for help before being assassintated. This is not a real president; he is a fake and always has been. Let us look at his background; cavorting with terrorists as Bill Ayres, Louis Farrakan, Jeremiah Wright (anti-american). Obama has refused to release his college records. Why? What is in these records? Is it that he entered Occidental College and Columbia University as a “foreign student”? Obama should be impeached for not producing evidence of his background, lying about his background, putting our troops in danger is terrorist Afghanastan, running up a tremendous deficit as he does not know how to control an economy. Make Obama produce all past records and records of Fast and Furious and Libyian episode of MURDER.

At the Democratic National Convention, women were reduced to being portrayed as giant walking vaginas, and earlier this week the Obama campaign posted an encouragement to women to “Vote Like Your Lady Parts Depends On It” (which was hastily removed because of the immediate uproar it caused). So, the Democratic party views women as nothing more than the sum of their reproductive organs, and you’re worried about a GOP War on Women?

This brand of stupidity is the hallmark of the Repubican Party, and why I shall NEVER allow my name to be counted in the numbers of their membership, NOR shall I ever donate one penny to the RNC!!!!!!!
The reason why Paul Ryan is being second-guessed by the Repubicans is because he is turning out to be not the RINO the RNC had hoped for.
In fact, I have come to believe neither is Mr. Romney quite the RINO the RNC had hoped for when they manipulated him into being given the nomination, and that is a GOOD thing.
Whereas the Dimocraps occasionally shoot themselves in the foot with their stupid remarks and actions, the Repubicans display much better marksmanship–they ALWAYS manage to shoot themselves squarely between the eyes.

Despite the historic coolness of having a first black president, he has shown himself to be as corrupt and dishonest as any of the worst. Open your mind a bit, if you can.

Say, I noticed that in the latest National poll, Mitt Romney is ahead of President Obama…maybe you should be more concerned with Joe Biden being a running mate with little to offer

Romney is almost double digits behind Obama in Ohio. If Republicans don’t win Ohio they will not win the election !!!! PERIOD !!!!!

Re Ohio, I agree with you at about the 80% level…however, have you seen the polls that have come in since the debates? They show that Ohio is a dead heat…and the Obama bleeding is not done yet.

Obama and his allies want to turn America into another Zimbawbe,

and marxist policies in this country at all. If you love socialism, then go to
China, Russia or some other dictatorship that rules by force and see how
long you will love it. You will be begging to come back to the US and we will say, stuff it and don’t ever come back.

Paul Ryan is sharp, well spoken, Morally untouchable, and doggonit, people like him! He will destroy Biden in the upcoming debate and position himself nicely for 2020 Presidency.

It’s the American voter that is a disgrace if you ask me. Doesn’t have anything to do with the crooks they’d like to see elected whether they are qualified or not or even born here or not and the hard working war heros that they snub by trying to make some insane gesture to the guy that wasn’t born in a manger but came from Krypton again either not noticing the snub or disregarding it to serve their own foolish suicidal egos. Well if stupidity isn’t the ruler of the day evil is and between the same sex marriages and the abortion costs I think anyone from a previous generation that was to wake up here now might easily believe they’ve been sent to hell. Still common sense and a little knowledge that could be a hope or saviour seems to have vanished and as if without consequence? I hardly think so. Media spin is altogether out of line and the naked truth is if you play with fire you will get burned. Maybe there’s going to be another big stroke of luck when all the facts of the matter are ignored and good sense thrown out the window but what are the odds? ITS THE VOTER WHO IS NOT QUALIFIED! The hell with this system it does not work. APPOINT SOMEONE KNOWN AND TRUSTED TO APPOINT LEADERS LIKE EVERY OTHER SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS in thIS WORLD. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A COMPANY WITH A VOTING SYSTEM THAT ISN’T CROOKS AND GANGSTERS AND EVERYTHING REVILED?

Dutchman61

I guess this means you hate the bearers of the truth and facts since the whole Democrat agenda is a pyramid scheme or a slight of hand to conceal something else. Ryan has made his name by presenting facts. Politicians as a breed hate facts since they tend to get in their way and bring their grand designs crashing back to Earth, especially Democrats. What Ryan has laid out is based on facts and the CBO (run by democrats) agrees with Ryan on the facts. Obama hates him since Ryan is a numbers geek, rattling off the facts at virtually any meeting, and Ryan is not afraid to stand there and say you are wrong. Please note that Obama refuses to meet with Ryan when negotiating with Republican leaders.

As for the boost, well Ryan was named long before the convention while Palin was named at the convention essentially. She was unknown, an attractive woman, and she made a huge contrast with McCain. Ryan was a known figure who was widely considered to be one of the finalists long before his selection. Also note that Palin was not ready and the vicious character assassination by the media was not countered by McCain. The media biggest hit against Ryan is he is super clean boy scout with NOTHING to hide. The surprise high of Palin is not there, but then neither have been the vicious attacks.
cherrygreg2

Greg.
Again the truth comes out. but in the final analysis isn’t that what the majority of Republicans do? Lie, they lied and said that the Economic Stimulus did not work, yet some of their supporters received help from this so-called failed program. Yes, what good is a law guaranteeing a minimum wage if the Republicans keep rejecting every Jobs Bill simply because it was indorsed by President Obama. America if we don’t act now many of us will lose out to the fat cats of America who want to repeal everything so that they can get richer and use our sons and daughters to fight their wars while their children stay at home. This election isn’t just about the Middle-Class, it is about all Americans. President Obama’s Health Care plan may not be the best but right now it guarantees affordable health care for all Americans, and as one of the less than Middle-Class Americans who works every day and only barely making ends come close together affordable health care for preexisting conditions or any other condition is something I definitely need.

all_for_CJ

sorry you are wrong about it being affordable Obamacare will cost me over 3,000 more a year from what I pay now for healthcare. Low income/middle income will pay approx. 400 per month per individual for a 55 year old. Right now I pay out 3500 per year for ALL doctors, labs, xrays, prescriptions and I’m uninsured! If I have to pay 400 per month (4800 yr) for premiums and then a 20% copay of about 1000 plus the 1000 deductible because I have “preexisting conditions”my costs are approximately 6800 a year! I get a huge discount now because I pay cash so that 3500 that I am paying would be closer to 5000 for an insured patient. I don’t qualify for medicaid because I have assets! Did you hear what Obama said in the debate? You will get a 15% discount from the “minimum” that a normal person would pay “normal” cost is about 450-500 per month on premiums. Whoop ti do. I’m going to save about 65 a month but have to pay out 400-425 in premiums I don’t have to pay already! It’s absurd to think a family of 4 may have to pay out 1200 to 1600 more a MONTH. You are an idiot for thinking this is benefitting the low/middle class.

MarkAE

Obama is a Marxist. Why would you fundamentally want to transform this country? This is a Marxist idea to move from free enterprise to Marxism.
He spent several years in Indonesia in a Muslim school as a child. These years are critical as they form the foundation of a person for the rest of their life.
Obama hates free enterprise and can’t stand wealthy people who have been sucessful. He thinks we need to spread the wealth around by stealing taxes from the rich and giving to the poor. His ideal type of government is the one in Cuba. The government controls everything and everyone is equally poor.
Food stamps have increased 50% under Obama, 23 million people looking for jobs, 15% real unemployment if factor those who gave up looking and those working part time, 50% less Federal drilling permits in the last 3.5 years, administration wanting to sue Boeing for trying to start a company in North Carolina (right to work state – destroy new jobs…), Obamacare costing 4-5 trillion dollars (real cost), North Korea creating nuclear weapons, Iran having 1 in next 6 months, starting a war in Libia by bombing them, sending billions $$$ to Egypt for the new government that is considered a Terrorist group……
I thought Obama was going to get rid of the Patriot Act… He expanded it last year to be able to deport any Citizen to Cuba and treat them as a terrorist…. Way to go….
This is the worst President in the history of this country. The Federal deficit went from 10.6 Trillion to over 16 Trillion in 3.5 years (interest of nearly half a Trillion $$$ each year).
QE 1 & 2 dumped 2 Trillion into the stock market. QE3 now dumping 40 Billion each month into the stark market (each month forerver…). Wow.. it is going up… must be the great performance of this administration.
He should print 16 Trillion and pay off the National Debt. Why not, it lines up with everything else that has been done (this may spur inflation… may cause gas to be $10/gallon).

Thanks for your reply which tell me you have been tuned in to the lame media for far too long. If you can honestly forget all the things this administration has done to America, then you must be asleep. FYI I was a Democrat for years, but got sick of the dirty politics and the people elected as representatives only to find they didn’t give a damn about anything but their own jobs. Both parties have their faults ,but as an unaffilated voter, I look for the man who is best suited for the job, and this time it’s Romney and Ryan. Obama promised much and we thought he would bring the country together, instead he divided it by his use of class warfare. He has no respect for the US Constitution or US law,evident by the way he walks over them and makes his own. This is not acceptable and it is time for a new group to bring us out of the mess Obama put us in.

Pelu Maad

“the mess Obama put us in”…tells me that you aren’t rational or honest… a nautral born Romney-Ryan sucker. Do you think you’ll like Mitt’s “Deseret” better than America?
As far as “promises”….our government consists of 3 co-equal branches and a system of balanced powers. No one person can promise the government will do a damn thing. When you say Obama didn’t do as promised you’re mostly lying to yourself.
If you don’t like black people much just say so….spare me all that other crap.

joanc

Thanks for your reply to my entry and your comments about me being dishonest and irrational. Thanks that the nicest thing I have ever heard from a democrat, and since they are known for lying, it must mean just the opposite. Is the Romney- Ryan sucker a lollypop the dems are going to hand out? It figures! As far as the three branches of Government, they were set up to prevent one branch overstepping their boundries, something Obama does all the time, enforcing laws he likes and dismissing others he doesn’t care for. No problem, for he will just make new laws bypassing the legislative branch. This is surprising for a man who is a Constutional scholar, he must have been out that day. To get to your last paragraph, Why do you think I don’t like black people, is it something I said? I don’t think so, you are just jumping to conclusions and you are so very wrong. I have a wonderful black nephew and a tenant that is a black young man who is the best tenant we have ever had. I also think the world of Alan West,Thomas Sowell, and Herman Cain. I guess you don’t follow Reverand King about character counting. Your assuming I was a biased person fits the old adage about being careful of what you assume. figure it out or ask someone. I won’t bother you with any more crap as you put it, so spare me yours.
Pelu Maad

“As far as the three branches of Government, they were set up to prevent one branch overstepping their boundries, something Obama does all the time, enforcing laws he likes and dismissing others he doesn’t care for.”

I have no idea what that means….but I have noticed how much bigots love to repeat it. Didn’t I ask you to spare me the crap? Yet you go into the tired old “some of my best friends” routine. You bigots are amazing.
joanc

I think you need to refer to a civics book to research the basis and reasoning for the three very important branches of Government and their functions. Obama has given back door amnesty to illegal aliens, while ignoring the law and the fact, that there are people waiting in line to come to America through LEGAL channels. He refused to enforce the defense of marriage act which is the law at this time, and claimed abortion would not be covered in Obama care, then we find out it certainly is. He is the leader of the USA yet had no time to meet with heads of other countries, but was able to find time for Letterman, the View, and Beyonce and Jay Z . It is difficult to know where his duty lies, is it golf, campaigning or smoozing with his donors… In most peoples world, the Job takes precedence over all other recreational activities, but not for Obama who has been on the campaign trail since he took office. As far as the statement you made about “Some of my best friends” routine, I think you need to look into your own bias and realize that the same old “using the race card” is outdated, and with a Black man as US president, you should be aware that he did not get elected by only black citizens. Stop trying to intimidate me about my mention of my nephew and my tenant, it will not work. We were a nation that was in the process of coming together, until Obama decided that class warfare was an answer to insure upset and chaos where there was none. The question is why and for what reason? Bigotry comes in many colors, so please stop your biased opinions of all people. Signed— I am not a bigot, are you????

I had to go on Medicare this year (are you aware it is MANDATORY at age 65?). I will tell you flat out, without hesitation that there is absolutely NOTHING wonderful about Medicare. Compared to my previous insurance, it beyond confusing and it SUCKS! There are so many confusing plans to choose from, and if you don’t choose the right one on your first try, you are penalized for the rest of your life. Don’t believe me? Go to the Medicare website and try to pick the best plan for the rest of your life. You start with Part A, which covers only inpatient hospital care (actually only up to 80% of this). Then there is Part B which covers some of the other charges. We also,have Plan D to cover prescriptions, and continue up to Part L . . . Really!! Then of course we have that delightful “donut hole”, and one plan where you have a large deductible which can actually renew itself several times a year.

They want to “change Medicare as we know it”? To that, all I can say is I CERTAINLY HOPE SO!!!!

It is despicable that the media uses its voice to create doubt and innuendo to sway public opinion instead of letting the issues speak for themselves. Too bad that some candidates (Paul Ryan) take a hard line and speak the truth first and care about smoke and mirrors second. It is refreshing, and I for one would be so proud to see someone in office who cares first about this country and where it is going and second about their political career. If the voters would have the same mindset and start caring about the country as a whole instead of how much the government will give them, or what comforts it will provide, we wouldn’t be where we are now – spinning out of control.

The fact is that both Romney and Ryan are elitist buffoons who do not have the best interests of the country in mind. They have no respect for the rule of law. Their allegiance is to their party, their campaign contributors, and the upper class to which they perceive that they belong, not to the US of A.

I vote for Obama and Biden because I believe Obama and Biden have more opportunities to fix the economy of our country. Obama is smart and have good knowledge about economics. For me, no matter who win in this election, either Obama or Romney, I will support the winner for the recovery of our national economy.

Biden, like a clown, now laughing, now gesticulating, clumsily interrupted Ryan’s speech. Whenever Ryan’s speech was interrupted, the flow of thought was broken, and Ryan could not give the punch to smother Biden. Biden’s mannerism and behavior appeared nauseating and despicable to millions of viewers. What is more, Raddatz’s role as Moderator was loathsome. Instead of remaining impartial, she openly sided Biden, allowing him to interrupt Ryan, and finally she herself interrupted by not allowing Ryan to emphasize some vital points. . In spite of these obstacles, Ryan remained cool and became the winner in the debate

Haha, sore loser much? Funny how when Mitt Romney behaves similarly, he is “presidential”,”firm” etc, but when Biden does it, it is suddenly crazy.

Good thing the undecided voters do not agree with you. They preferred Biden by a 20% margin to Ryan so you are obviously wrong.

Biden and the Left claim to be sensitive and they are really cruel. Our Country is in trouble and you’re watching the Joker giving no respect during a national VP debate. Hard to imagine this angry man representing the United States. It gives hope to our enemies knowing Biden is a heartbeat away from the presidency. Joe Biden appeared last night to be the creepy clown who scares your child and makes him cry. The fact checkers have Biden lying most of the evening. His 2 biggest lies were denying he voted for the Iraq and Afghan wars. Wake up people. Our future depends on us being honest with ourselves and fellow citizens.

I can say Biden was an Childlike ass. When he is challenged, stressed or lying . He raises his voice, laughs and makes smirks during the entire timeline that the other party speaks. Very much like a child. He jokes and makes references from off the wall issues at those moments also. There are rules and he broke every single one. He was not professional enough to recognize he had his time to speak and Ryan had his time. They each should of been able to make their points with little to preferably no childish interruptions.

The host/mediator indicated to Biden on several occasions that he was out of control. But Biden just like his Boss Obama just think they have no rules and can do as they wish. America watch the Documentary or get the book. Dreams from my Real Father. It is full of factual evidence that Obama does not even qualify to be an American President. Big Trouble we will have should America return him to office. America cannot be ran by Angry Frustrated Grandpa Joe Biden and Hollywood Islam Obama. Vote Romney/Ryan. They can only do better.

Leonash44

I am quoting what is written in Wikipedia about Joe Biden .
You can find more by Googling : ” Biden Plagiarism 1988 ” .

“Joseph Robinette “Joe” Biden, Jr., a Democratic United States Senator from Delaware at the time, was a candidate for President of the United States in the 1988 United States presidential election.

Biden announced his candidacy in June 1987, and was considered one of the potentially strongest candidates in the field. However, in September 1987, newspaper stories stated he had plagiarized a speech by British politician Neil Kinnock. Other allegations of past law school plagiarism and exaggerating his academic record soon followed. Biden withdrew from the race later that month.”

In any election relating to the Presidency of the USA ( Democratic Party Primaries )
Joe Biden did not get, I believe , more than 2% or 3% of the vote.
Anybody should make his own opinion whether John Biden is suitable for any kind of leadership position

Also, which I am sure you are in great denial about is the fact that Bush started the bailouts, the Republicans actually agreed on some of them, and we are paying for two wars that Bush started and kept off the books.

Overall, the foreign policy that Obama is running is very sound. It is tragic that there was an attack in Libya, but you did not hear democrats cry out about Bush at the time 9/11 happened. You guys are using tragedy for political gain and that just shows what lowlife you are.

@Douglas Wible. If you think that it is right to kill 1.5 million unborn American children every year, then replace them with a million + Third World immigrants that are sucking your social programs dry, then good luck. Then again, Obama can always add another $6 trillion to the national debt AND borrow even more money from China to pay for it all, while building electric cars in Finland and throwing money into “green jobs” that will have a negligible financial return – if any. If Obama is re-elected, then America is finished.

How about offering birth control, and you will see a massive reduction in abortions. This has been proven in large studies.

And what is your plan with the immigrants – put up a big electric fence around the US? It is better to get them legal, pay taxes, have insurance (which they are required to under Obamacare), and they won’t be abusing the system.

It’s funny that the country which was headed towards a new great depression, that got turned around and even had some improvement since Obama took office is suddenly going down the drain if Obama has another term. Your logic is seriously flawed…

When did we stop being able to blame someone else for something we did? That old saw stopped working around the fifth grade. This has been the blame everyone but yourself administration from the beginning. Did we really need $4.5 Trillion dollars in spending to only to see 8 to 10% or higher unemployment. If Obama had given every man and woman in America $100,000 each, it wouldn’t have cost us $4.5 Trillion dollars, and the economy would have been booming, with people buying new homes, American made cars, etc. Not TV’s and stereos as that would have just boosted China’s economy. Entrepreneurs would have started new businesses, construction workers would have more work than they could handle. But no Obama decided to give it to big banks for their help in getting him elected, and to green jobs such as Solyndra that gave him big campaign donations and then fail in a year or two, and we mustn’t forget those unions who are marching with Communist Workers of America signs. The Government would have gotten most of the money back eventually in taxes. Now he and Joe Biden get together and laugh about how their “Shovel Ready Jobs” weren’t that shovel ready after all. One final thought, why are campaign donations not taxed? They tax everything except our next breath, yet if George Soros wants to buy a President or Congressman, he should pay a 50% tax on his purchase just like he does when he buys a new yacht or gun manufacturing plant. Let’s be real, if someone give $50 or even $1000, that is grassroots giving, if someone gives a candidate $1 million they are buying influence, period. The least they can do is help pay down our deficit by paying a 50% tax on that. Obama wants to raises taxes I think that would be an excellent place to start, he claims he will raise $1 billion before the election is over, he can help lower the deficit he helped create by donating $500 million to the cause.

any enthusiasm of his listeners. He is like a machine, he knows his figures, he knows finances and I am sure he is a true American. HOwever, he does not have the charm, the warmness, he lacks the
art of communication. Rubio of Florida would have been a greater asset in getting votes for Romney. I am in particular thinking of the latina votes and of the females which are undecided.

Personality and Charisma – not substance, are the Democrats style!! Unlike Obama, whose entire life has been nothing but lies; Romney and Ryan are a breath of fresh air in what has become a stagnant pool of liberal lies. They are demonized by liberals, because they are decent men who respect their wives and families!! They have the actual business expertise that has actually worked; and WILL save America from fiscal destruction!!
Remember, when Gov. Romney left office in Mass. the unemployment rate was down to 4.5%!!! He was also working with a mostly liberal House and Senate!!
I have said for two decades that what America needed was businessmen, not career politicians at it’s helm.
As an Independent voter, I’m not looking for a charismatic speaker who says one thing to get elected, and then continues the Communist agenda is to finnish the destruction of our country!!! Nor am I looking for a president whose only record is dividing the country by creating “chaos” where none exists! [In the words of Rahn Emmanuel, "Never let a crises go to waste"]. If there is no crises, they create one
If this current president gets in again, there will be no more Free Elections in what will become Amerika.
This election, is NOT about the Character of Obama or Romney. It IS. however , about the Character, or lack thereof, of the American Voters!!!!

If you’re not biased, doesn’t that imply you’re not human?

Seriously though, thanks for actually contributing to the conversation. Rubio’s food for thought, but the man has a career and a family of his own to consider, too. Hitching himself to a man who’s clearly ready to tell us anything we want to hear to get himself elected is not the best career move. I think Rubio would’ve made much better ticket if he was on as the lead, not as veep – and that’s my big regret right there.

I’d love to see some intervention in Syria, for instance – but I just can’t bring myself to believe R/R’s was at all serious about the proposition when he said it. He keeps “re-evaluating” his position every time someone squawks off-key. Not that Obama hasn’t done the same with Benghazi, either. But then, if we started making the mistake of ever trusting *any* of our leaders further than we can throw ‘em, we deserve what we get.

This article is a rabid invidious pack of lies. The author claims Ryan used “half truths” and “flat-out lies” without giving any specifics and evidence of his malicious offensive remarks. It is the typical Obama’s style demeaning propaganda. It is unbelievable that after 4 years of disastrous socialist Obamanomics and the destruction of American exceptionalism you still wish another 4 years of punishment. Are you better off now than in 2008? If you think you are it is only because you must be one of Obama’s cronies. But for sure the United States are much worse off. I pity you.

Anyone who knows truth knows also that Obama is either mistaken or knowingly lying when he spouts off about all the good things he has done to us in his spare time taken away from golf and relaxation. He wants to change our armed forces into homosexual hostels. He wants to force us to accept marriages of same-sex couples. He has many things up his sleeve to foist on us.

Or, Western Journalism’s article” “Don’t Fool Yourself: Of Course There Are DEATH PANELS In OBAMACARE” Oct. 3, 2012] This item gives the real information on what Sarah Palin stated – for which the Liberal Media called her every unprintable name in the book!!!

It’s hard to believe that three people liked this foolishness from dianebkht. Romney didn’t lie at all in this debate or in any speech I’ve heard him give. But I knew 100% that Obama was lying when he said Planned Parenthood offered mammograms and when he claimed that he called the murder of our ambassador an act of terror. He continues to this day to deny that it was simply a terrorist attack timed for 9/11. He’s an expert liar. The nation will be better off when he is out of office and his policies are reversed. Diane knows lots that isn’t so.

A country normally gets the leader it deserves, with that being said, do this country deserves Obama or Romney? There’s a lot of lies out there and everyone has an agenda. Who do you think really cares about you and your families? Who do you believe cares about America and her future? Who really cares about the least of us? You answer and then you vote. I’m Mitt Romney and I approve this message. LOL (NOT)

http://missionoutreach.org Ray Downen

Romney will be an outstandingly good president even if it should be that the Senate still is in Reid’s control. But if the nation is wise, Reid will join Pelosi on the sidelines. Everyone who has sided with Obama should be voted out of office in both state and federal elections. Obama hates the U.S.A. and has done his best to ruin us. That’s the goal of Islam, and Obama has been a Muslim all his life.

I have never heard such nonsense in my life. 40 years ago I was a liberal. It took me quite a few years to realize that liberal policies just dont work. I believe more Americans are beginning to feel that way, also.

This guy is right on. Ryan and Romney are playing games with the American people. Saying things like oil production is down 14% when it was only one year and due to the horizon oil spill. That’s just one of many examples. They know they are stretching the truth. This is a serious character flaw. They are not great American’s. They want the power and if they will knowingly do this, they certainly would abuse their power in office. They are bad news.

You think Obama’s expansion of federal powers over both unilateral military action and private businesses is any better? To see how far he’s gone towards nationalizing private businesses (AIG and GM being the obvious examples) and to *not* do the same for helping to increase the oil supply after the BP losses isn’t stretching the truth, it’s a valid criticism.

You can’t excuse Po’bama by claiming his opposition just wants power and might misuse it, if he’s already done the same.
http://missionoutreach.org Ray Downen

Kathy apparently missed seeing that Obama has prevented oil/gas drilling in the U.S.A. from day one of his term. If the permits had been approved, we’d now have all the oil we need and would not still be depending on foreign oil. Obama has been an impediment to recovery in every way rather than helping. He talks well. He acts terribly. His actions prove he’s a Muslim who wants the nation to fail and fall into the hands of Islamists. Romney/Ryan are very good news indeed, and deserve the support of every patriotic citizen.

paul ryan is relatively young and inexperienced in human nature to be the vice president to the aspirant president who seems fond of blustery. he should have joined the marines first for ten years to qualify.

The National Memo smells like something we used to have down on the farm when I was a boy, careful you don’t step in it.
eddieedwards

I’m hoping Americans can think for themselves and not merely listen to those in the media. Paul Ryan is not perfect, but is a great choice for Vice-President. To use the writer’s word, “disgrace,” that is exactly what Joe Biden is. He was an utter disgrace in the debate. He couldn’t control his emotions, was condescending and rude, and even displayed his unfiltered anger. It’s absolutely scary to think that if anything happened to our President that he would be in charge of our nation. If you really notice, even the President keeps him away from the media as much as possible because he keeps embarrassing the nation every time he opens his mouth.

Paul Ryan is an over rated ,,,knoch boy…knoch is trying to take over the Government with its OWN type views of government.

http://missionoutreach.org Ray Downen

Romney/Ryan is on track to rescue the nation from Obama’s attacks on our liberty. The government we intend to place in the nation is one true to the Constitution and Bill of Rights written long ago. This will be vastly different from what Obama has put in place with his czars and executive regulations.

What a bunch of bull. Paul Ryan is a wonderful addition to the ticket. He is a great tea party fav and Obama is just about to be hit in the behind by the tea party train and will be just as shocked as he was in 2010.

Well, if you use your analogy, you would be wrong. Because I too am 67 and have been watching the elections since 16. I too know what I’m talking about.
However getting back to the original statement. I said that Dems live by the lie.
Not that both parties do not lie.
Of all the friends I’ve had, the conservatives were far less likely to lie than my liberal friends. Not just in politics but in any matters of life.

The efficacy in Obama’s second debate proved his deep concern for the middle class and the success of this country by sharing the burden with the top 2 percent of this nation.

http://missionoutreach.org Ray Downen

Obama proved his “deep concern for the middle class” by crafting a healthcare law with greatly added taxes on every citizen. His concern is to sound and look good regardless of how much it costs us.

do you honestly think this mormon guy isn’t just trying to follow in his father’s footsteps and put his Mormon stamp on everything he does if he gets in!! Obama is for the people and yes they all do contort their words, that’s politics but watch “The Choice” on PBS. It’s very clear that Obama is passionate about what he wants to achieve for each and every person, not to just tick off something on a bucket list. Mitt got hit with the lucky stick as far as wealth!
Watch past performances of Mitt and consider his stance on each and every issue he speaks about. How did he get into Harvard eh?? How did Obama? Well..I believe Obama was and is the only person of colour to have achieved getting top spot on the Law review. I am not sure Romney is that intelligent nor is his sidekick Ryan who doesn’t seem to have a flippin clue about foreign policy. These things MATTER people. Don’t elect a far right republican that completely rebrands himself according to the situation. What the hell does he stand for anyway?? You can bet your bottom dollar that he will be pandering to large business and not be focused on what’s to be done. Four years isn’t a hell of a long time to undo what’s been done and I think Obama has set out and has accomplished much more in the four years than most president’s. Remember that when he took the presidency it was a GLOBAL problem!! Still is and he’s just swimming above the water and actually making strides as of late.
BE CAREFUL who you vote in.

Well, this psychopath has never in her 73 years seen any president as bad as this one. To let four embassy workers die, after pleading for more security, and then act as though it was nothing more than a blip on his radar screen makes me ill. He’s the sociopath. And he let Hillary take the fall for it. Nothing has ever been his fault has it? If he’s elected again, it’ll be more than the republicans who will be sorry. He’s taken our country to the edge of the abyss, and if he’s elected, he will push America over the edge. Wait until you get old or have a serious illness, and they figure you aren’t worth the money to make you well. Are you all blind? He can give money to the Muslim Brotherhood, but not one penney for more security for our embassy in Libya. I’m an independent by the way. He disgusts me.

I guess I am one of the 47% to whom Romney alluded to. It would be interesting to have a sample group of the “Takers” take part in a round table discussion with both Romney and Ryan and tell tell the Republicans where they fit into the 47% and hope they get some form of answer. I am old enough to remember Europe in 1936 and the rantings of a sick Dictator, and the filth and Nazi propagander that spewd from his mouth. I hope and pray that these 2 bone-heads are not reading the books that the aformentioned Dictator read.

Interesting article and comments, but perhaps few of us are actually asking the fundamental questions.

1. What is the task of the Federal Government? For the answer look to the Constitution of the United States, and there we see that the Federal Government has overstepped its boundaries, and we as citizens have not done much about it (most cannot even quote the Constitution much less argue using it as the main source).

2. Are we really willing to pay for the services that the Federal Government has in place? Can I drive a Corvette if I are not willing to pay for it? The same with the Federal Government, if we want certain benefits we must be willing to actually pay for the whole thing (which means a higher tax rate). Can we blame someone really rich for not wanting to have more taxes, especially if he doesn’t want or need the benefits? Perhaps the solution is to go back to the fundamental American ideals of self-sufficiency and the desire to build one’s own life on one’s own without someone holding his hand.

Bush talked some of getting rid of Medicare and privatizing social security and he about caused a riot. Now we have Ryan tooting the same thing and people are voting for him? I guess there are no Republicans who are on Social Security and Medicare and want to protect it. Well …..I want to protect mine and especially now that’s it’s even better than it was but I guess if you are 80 years old and are told over and over again that “Obama robbed medicare” you start to believe it.

Romney stood there at the first debate and told 58 million people his plan covered pre-existing conditons. That is a bold faced lie. His aide had the guts to admit that was untrue but I haven’t heard a peep out of Romney to correct that statement.

YOU WOULD RATHER HAVE THE SYSTEM GO BROKE THAN FIX IT THE CURRENT ADMS. HAS NO PLAN EXCEPT TO CONTINUE SPENDING BORROWED MONEY. THERE USE TO BE ASAYING DON’T BITCH UNLESS YOU HAVE A PLAN TO BRING TO THE TABLE. TO THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS BY HIS RECORD , THE ONLY THING HE HAS BEEN GOOD AT IS THE SPENDING OF MONEY WE DON’T HAVE. IN HIS ARROGANCE THE ONLY BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT HE HAS DONE IS HIS NAMESAKE, OBAMACARE [ TOOK 1+YEAR TO PASS ] . WHILE HE FIDDLED THE ECONOMY STAYED FLAT. HE WASTED MUCH POLITICAL CAPITAL PASSING A HEALTH CARE BILL THAT ALL OF THE POLLS PRIOR TO PASSING SAID THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DID NOT WANT [ CONTRARY TO THE ERRONEOUS STATE HE MADE THAT IT PASSED WITH "GREAT MAJORITY " OF CONGRESS -- IT BARELY PASSED AND ONLY AFTER SOME OF THE HOUSE DEMOCRATES CASTE CAREER ENDING VOTES FOR IT ]. OBAMA HAS BROKEN ALL THE BIG PROMISES HE MADE IN THE ELECTION [ CUT DEFICIET BY 1/2 CLOSE GITMO AND WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE STIMULIS KEEP UNEMPLOYMENT UNDER 6%--- NONE OF THOSE THINGS HAPPENED -- HE DID ADD $5.5 TRILLION TO THE NATIONAL DEBT -- 1/3 OF TOTAL DEBT ACCUMILATED OVER 236 YEARS ].

Ryan is a asset to the party. Don’t be fooled by the media that leaves out the whole truth. Do they write what really happened in Libia? Our President knew about the attact that killed four young heros that fought to the end. Obama knew when it happened and the rest will be history of thePresident getting 4 letters from Stevens right up till the day it happened. Their compound was hit hard even before the fatal attack occured telling Obama that the compound was not safe and that they were living in fear for weeks. Obama refused to help these heros that died. He refused to give them protection and thats why they died. You really need to find out what and how it went down. Dont be fooled by all the coverups going on. Get the truth the real truth. Obama has lied about other issues in the last 4 years and that is well documented. Do not trust him. Those men died defending our ideals and Obama failed to protect them. He said his main job is to keep Americans safe. He did nothing to give needed help to these soliders that died. This shows the real person he is.

To all seniors who think Obamacare is so great for us, I behoove you to do some research, written by people who take each part of it and break it down so a person of average intelligence can understand. I, as well as my 2 sisters are seniors, 75 up, and we all have medical conditions that require meds to keep under control. Will we be able to get these meds with help thru the healthcare to pay for them. We do not take Name brand meds, but generic. Also if we have a terminal condition, what care will we get/probably not get any, as some panel of non-medical people will decide. Just give them a pain pill or resort to euthanasia if they are useless to society. Is this what the American people who worked most of their lives, supported their families, paid into S. S. and Medicare deserve???Is this what you want for your parents, grandparents???And for you in the future???? People wake up. Everything we have is at risk. How soon will we be under total dictatorship of some foreign nation. What the U.N. has in their small arms treaty is enough to scare all of us. I have never seen such hatred, racism, devision of country, parties, neighbors, friends, and families as I have seen in the last 2 elections. The guilt about our past “racism” in the ancestors is not our sin, and we don’t need to re-elect a person who is doing everything in the power of his office to destroy the principles this country was founded on and most of us believe in. How soon will it be before even the “air we breath” is also taxed and “belongs to others”? In third world countries, no one has any freedoms except those in power. If this what we want for the USA. THINK, READ, RESEARCH, EDUCATE YOURSELF, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE…
