I believe what you have just done is called” the perfect squelch”. Good for you.

Bruce, I am a disabled vet who served over 20 years. I served in both Iraqi wars as well as Afghanistan. When I got out in 2004 and returned to Tucson, the hatefulness I and my two teenage kids experienced for expressing progressive viewpoints and for disagreeing with Bush and the Iraqi war was extreme and intense. I was a victim of frequent verbal and non-verbal assaults while driving, to include 2 truly dangerous road rage assaults, to the point where I felt it necessary to remove my magnetic bumper stickers whenever driving with my kids. They too were subjected to the most vile verbal harassment for wearing an Obama or anti-war shirt, or for standing on the liberal side of a weekly Wednesday pro/anti Iraqi war rally on Speedway Blvd. one “sweet” seeming lady calmly told my 16 yo son he looked like a “faggot” in the then popular Ann Coulter vernacular, which many of the right wing “adult” men began to mimic. I basically had to carry my son away. Then there were the frequent accusations from people, fueled by constant diatribes from members of the right wing brain trust like Coulter, Savage, Levin, Hannity, and of course Rush Limp-Bough, that I was a traitor for daring to even criticize Bush during a time of war. Of corse when I would ask these people who would confront me at a gas station or parking lot over my bumper stickers just when did THEY serve in the military last, they would look at me like i had asked them if they were from Mars or the Moon. The same people who supported truly the worst, most clueless president in our history, who hated Obama even before he even won the Democratic nomination, and who now support Romney, have been so abusive towards, so intolerant of, and so dismissive towards people like me, that, yes, after these 10+ years of this UN-American crap, we’re tired of it and are in no mood to just lay down and accept the abuse anymore. We’re tired of having to constantly act like the adults in the room while the haters run around acting like juvenile delinquent punks.

Your Brain Dead Ass Need To Get A Life And Stop Sucking Out Of Romney Ass Cause He Never Going To Help Nobody But Himself !! Piss Off Go Caught Up With Your Tea Bagging Ass Kissing Crowd!! Bet The Koch Brothers Are Here On The Internet Go Kiss Their Asses But You Might Have To Wait For Romney To Get Finnish His Lips Are Always On Those Brothers ASSES!!

I hope you realize the in 1835 the budget and deficit were balanced by a Democrat . When Reagan took office we were less than one Trillion in debt during the next 20 years of Republican budgets ( Reagan, Bush and Bush) our deficit increased to 13 Trillion if you include the interest on the Republican debt. The reason for the continued increase in our debt is due to the unbelievable economic mess left by those three Presidents. Don’t blame the Democrats for the debt. Clinton balanced the budget more times during his terms than the Republicans have since Hoover.

This is exactly the sort of uniformed political rhetoric I heard when G W Bush was running…the same unsupported BS from the same “Intolerant” running scared, brain washed conservatives. Like Romney George tried to bankrupt the state he governed before he decided to ruin the country. $11 trillion of the debt belongs to George before he left office and another $3.5 trillion belongs to the hemorrhage he left behind. That leaves President Obama responsible for about only $2.5 trillion of the debt. At least he saved the auto industry and kept those millions jobs here in the United States. Like Romney, in his rude and arrogant presentation at the debate, you people talk and talk and never have a fact or reference in your conversation. There are no specifics, just rhetoric. There are statistics and REAL figures on the government and public web sites, but your kind refuses to recognize actual facts. Bush was the highest spending president in the last 50 years with his huge tax cuts for the rich and the 2 costly wars he took us in to. The only ones close to George’s spending was Reagan and the first Bush. They were all spending over the 8.5 percentile George climbed to 8.9. Clinton was in the 3.5 percentile while Obama has remained the lowest at 1.85. He has brought the unemployment rate down despite the 2/3rds reduction in the public job sector. Yes Bush had 3 times as many government jobs up and running under his administration, that is until the GOP house axed them under Obama. Yes the unemployment rate would be even lower if not for the stupidity of the “intolerant conservatives” cutting jobs when we needed them. These are the facts…on the books…not opinion and and not rhetoric Although thrifty on his spending Obama has created more jobs than either Bush or Reagan. The stock market has returned to very high levels and the GDP is going strong. Romney has not offered any specifics about job creation and he cannot even rest on his laurels. His job creation levels are zilch both as the President of Bain Industries and as Gov. of MA. where he was 47th out of 50 states in job creation. He talked only about the jobs he plans to cut. First responders, firemen, police, teachers and prison employees along with airport control tower operators are on the chopping block. He also left MA. in millions of dollars of deficit. Obama leads him by 28 points in that state. Romney was a 1 term governor and they certainly do not want him back as president. If you do not hear him talking out of both sides of his mouth, if you are unaware of how often he changes his views…YOU ARE NOT LISTENING! If you think (unless you are very rich like the top 5%) he is about helping you, you are ignorant of his policies. His ‘prosperity for all’ is for all those Billionaires that are supporting his campaign. I feel compelled to suggest that you at least educate yourself before displaying your opinion. Opinions after all, are like …….. well you know every body has one. I am consoled by the fact that only 67 million of you (which I think that is a Fox news statistic) is a drop in the bucket compared to the 314million 548thousand that is the population of the US.

Plznnn, One suggestion, go get a tripple inima, you really are FULL OF IT!

She talks to me this way too. She is one nasty skank!!———President Mitt Romney sounds GREAT to me!!!

Idiot

mITT MAY BE A KNOWLEDGEABLE CANDIDATE, BUT HE IS NOT RIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY. HE LIES ABOUT EVERYTHING AND DOES NOT EVEN KNOW THE MATH HE SPOUTS OUT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND YET THEY LOVE HIM. I DO HOPE THEY LOVE HIM WHEN AND IF HE DOES BECOME OUR PRESIDENT AND HE INSERTS HIS ROMNEYCARE IN PLACE OF OBOMACARE

Duane Roberts is right. Romney and the Republicans’ M.O. has
always been to scare people into voting for them by telling them that anything that benefits the middle class is socialistic. Reagan fought very hard to stop Medicare from being enacted and gave a rousing speech about how “voting for Medicare would cause the US to become just like the Soviet Union” (his words). Romney advocated the Ryan budget which will turn Medicare into a voucher program. Bush actually tried to privatize Social Security and Romney/Ryan may succeed if elected. There are ways to strengthen Social Security. We could raise the limit at which people get to stop contributing. Currently it is a little over $100,000. Those of us who don’t make over that amount pay SS on our entire income; but people who make billions still contribute only until approximately $106,000.

The debt was driven up by Bush and his two unfunded, and mostly unnecessary wars and by giving government welfare to insurance companies through his “Medicare Advantage” program. Why is it that when our tax money is given as a handout to the wealthy it is “just business” but when it is given to poor and middle class people it is sinister? We redistribute the wealth from the middle class to the upper upper class all the time but it isn’t called that by the Republicans and the Fox news puppets.

So, if you want to go to war with Iran or Syria, and want Social Security and Medicare to disappear, vote for Romney.

When You Get Sick From All The Lies And Hate They Are Trying To Push On The American People It Will Come Easy!! LOL I Hate To Do It But It Seem The Only Way To Get Rid Of The LIARS!!!! And I Know Damn Well They See Just How Romney Been Lying And Flip Flopping Also How This No Good Congress Has Stopped And Try To Block All Efforts Of A Recovery!!! Obama Almost Turn This Mess Around Damn Near By Himself!!

Your Mother Is The Nasty Skank That Help My Comments Go Through BITCH!!!

You’re a moron, almost ALL of the 47% pay taxes, just not federal income tax, and most of them work or collect pensions or social security they paid into after long careers of working and contributing. You’re just another lying right winger.

Now Here Your Lying Ass Go Haven’t You Got You Ass Cussed Out Enough By Now!! Your Bigot Ass Need To Get A Life And Stop Trying To Screw With Mine You Racist Asshole!! Lana Is A Dumb Lying Stupid Bitch And So Are You Two Little Tea Bagging Bitches!! Hey Onegonewrong You Are What We Call A Tea Bag Fag!!! LOL

Hopefully foreign policy WILL be Romney’s downfall,and hopefully before the election. It is apparent with all of his bluster that he does not understand the complexityof the situation in the Middle East, nor does he have any idea with whom he would be dealing were we to get involved in Syria. At least in Libya, we developed good intelligence before we got involved, even though with the various religious and secular militias in Libya we still don’t know who will come out on top.

You are right Qualifications ..Obama Communtity Organizer , Senator who voted for everything he blames on Bush ..when he didnt just punt and vote present . Failed President . Romney a sterling success in Govt the Private Sector and his chritable work . Romney 1 Obama 0 ….Demonstratable record …we just covered that Romney 2 Obama p0 in fact lets give him a neg 4 for the last 4 yrs …so Romney 2 Obama -4 …character slame dunk Romney 3 Obama -4 vision ? one wants dependence on Govt and resistribution he wants to make us a model of European efficiency ( Socialism has never worked anywhere in history ) . he wants to reward bad and lazy behavior and punish achievers . The other guy wants to incentivise Productivity work and investment . He wants to make success the American ideal and not a dirty word like Obama …Thank you Dominick ..you are right the choice is clear . Romney 4 Obama -4

He really screwed-up with the 47 comment, allot of his millionaire buddies don’t pay taxes, The members of our Armed Forces that protecting HIS stupid as## don’t pay taxes. Both parties, “elect us, we need to fix the screwed-up taxes for corporations” they own millions of dollars of stock in those companies, how many times have we heard that line, have they EVER changed them?
