		<description>I am so tired of all the political excuses for their political agendas - such as they will tell you the reason the Government needs to raise our taxes every year is to:
1. Give farmers subsides, &quot;pay farmers not to farm,&quot; and tell Americans there is a food shortage
2. Give Millions to other countries rather than teaching them how to earn their own money. 
3. Provide welfare for lazy people and illegal imigrants so they don&#039;t have to work and calling it Reform by moving America Forward.
4. Give Planned Parenthood 1.3 million a day to kill unborn Americans, because they say they care so much about every American, especially those who can&#039;t speak for themselves.
5. Give money to companies for clean energy such as wind too only have our electric rates and taxes increase even more.
Who is looking out for the working American?</description>

		<description>To add one more nail to the box Obama has built for himself,  remember he said, &quot; I Will Cut The Deficit In Half In My First Term&quot;.   Now we see how thats worked out,  he added $5 trillion to the debt.  Obamacare will add another $1.76 trillion to the debt!</description>

		<description>BIG JIMMY

George Bush Sr. said &quot;Read my lips. no new taxes&quot;    Then raised taxes. You can&#039;t hold him at fault.  The reality is that no President can ever realize the extent of the problems we might face. 

Bush SR. at least had a Congress that was functional; these clowns today are purely political. They insist on playing politics while the country suffers.</description>

		<description>“Smart Americans have not forgotten what it was like when Bush handed Obama the reins”

Yes but Obama knew all of that Before He Made All His Promises! Yet he still said “If I don’t turn things around in my first term, I will be a one term president”. Liberals always seem to forget that little detail and how Obama has FAILED on so many levels!  

Nice try Miranda but Bush and the GOP did not cause Obama’s failed policies! Obama’s own rookie leadership did,  so stop the liberal spin!</description>

		<description>Mitt touts his record as a jobs creator. Does he expect everyone to just buy into his con?  Notice how he avoids Massachusetts in his campaign and never mentions his record as governor.

Forget Bain, check out Mitt&#039;s and his son’s behavior in Solomere Capital, a ponzi scheme that makes Bernie Madoff look like a piker.</description>

		<description>I am surprised to see how prejudiced the American people are.  You are admired by many countries in the world and yet you seem to be exceedingly  lacking in wisdom in your efforts to reject a good and wise President, who has the country&#039;s benefit at heart.  This is quite obvious to most foreigners, and we hope you will soon see the error of your ways, and keep a President who is admired by all and sundry.  I pray that you may be guided in the  right path.</description>

		<description>Since Romney wrote the health care bill, this seems kind of odd!

Romney and Obama are both globalist puppets like Bush and Clinton!  Take your pick!  

You people lost your opportunity to have a decent president when you didn&#039;t support Ron Paul.  Of course, the primaries were stolen from him, but that&#039;s a different story.</description>

		<description>&quot;Smart Americans have not forgotten what it was like when Bush handed Obama the reins . ..&quot; - Miranda

And yet after 3 1/2 years Obama&#039;s solutions have not worked.
It&#039;s obvious he doesn&#039;t have the skill set required to fix the problems.

This is a competency challenged administration.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s interesting how the GOP wants to get rid of the freeloaders who get unemployment, food stamps, welfare, Medicaid and Social Security but are now defending the freeloaders who don&#039;t pay insurance even when they can afford insurance.  When these people go to the hospital to get medical care who pays?  The taxpayers that&#039;s who, you and I.  I don&#039;t care if it&#039;s a tax or a penalty if these people can afford insurance they should get it.  The penalty is a joke anyway compared to the cost of getting insurance.  The freeloaders will pay the penalty and laugh all the way to the bank.  Reading some of the stuff about the penalty it doesn&#039;t even seem there is a way to enforce the peanalty and actually get the money.  We will spend more trying to collect than the amount we actually collect.</description>
