“Most Catholic leaders have gone on the record as saying Ryan’s budget is “immoral” and goes against the teachings of Jesus Christ.” – Dr. Bubba

Well that reflects poorly on the Catholic leadership because Jesus didn’t care about money. He said give to Caesar what is Caesar’s. Jesus cares about your immortal soul not about how well off you are or not.

Isn’t it odd that all of those people who are demanding to see Romney’s tax records older than two years were not in the least bit interested in Kerry’s records a few years ago when he ran for pres. Kerry is twenty times richer than romney.
Where is the outcry for Obama’s records from his time at Harvard? Who funded him? He was not a wealthy person, and less than 1% of the families in this country can afford Harvard, so I ask, who funded Obama’s education. Were his grades even good enough to get a scholarship? These questions are vital to know who the hell is man that is leading our country down the tubes.

“Ryan is a radical conservitive” Excuse me? A better definition of radical would be a president who wants to “fundimentaly change” our nation by running it so far in debt as to bankrupt and force all citizens into a welfare receiving voting block. A man who has successfully divided us down racial lines, income lines and any other demographic he can find to pit one American against another. That’s radical, not a man that wants to balance the budget by spending within our means.

LOL….NEWCOUNTRYMAN (your 8:46 post)….”YOU SMELL FEAR FROM THE LEFT”???? ALL I HAVE HEARD IS ‘GLEE’ FROM THE PRESIDENT’S CAMPAIGN THAT NOW THEY HAVE AN IDEOLOGICAL ‘OPPORTUNITY’ TO COMPARE AND CONTRAST VIEWS and to educate the middle class on what it really means to them. LOL…LOL What is it with the “Right”…and their consistent use of ‘one liner soundbites’? LOL….what does it say for the ‘intelligence level’ of their base?

Ryan cuts everything in his plan, it just so happens that 60% of every yearly budget is for entitlements. We have gone from 10 trillion in debt to 16 trillion in four years time. We have gone from 5 trillion in debt to 16 trillion in debt, in just 12 years time. We cannot logically continue to spend this amount of money, that we do not in fact have. Our National debt is now larger than the GDP. That means the government owes more than the market value of all officially recognized final goods and services produced within the US in a year.

TEXBORK2012…that 11:06 post is pretty funny since evidently the propensity for Romney to not take a stand and lie and flip flop has caused everyone to believe that the Ryan pick was meant to instill ‘definition’ into what the GOP believes is their ‘case’. LOL…LOL You know as well as I do the Obama campaign welcomed the Ryan pick…because now they at least have something of ‘substance’ to confront and argue against. LOL..

Clearly this President has few positives to talk about in his record, otherwise the tone of his campaign would not be obsessed with personal attacks.

He inherited a difficult economy but the benefit from the stimulus was temporary – structurally job creation significantly underperformed their targets.

ObamaCare was a bizarre move. Unemployment was 9.3% when they chose to change focus to health reform. The President at the time described Health Reform as the solution to the economy.

According to a Chamber of Commerce survey, 75% of employers said that ObamaCare decreased their likelihood of hiring new people.

It appears to have been counter-productive for the 75 million unemployed or under employed whose ranks have swelled since 2009.

He hasn’t provided leadership on the budget. The President’s budget had little support even from Congressional Democrats. The senate has not passed a budget in years.

The government saw it’s credit worthiness downgraded and stop gap measures are financing day to day operations in the absence of leadership and a vision for the future.

Romney seems to be a hard worker and is competent. Balanced the budget in Massachusetts. Has business experience. Turned around the Olympics.

The most important thing is that Romney has fire in the belly – the President is running to save face – I don’t see the passion for saving money or fixing problems – if there was we would have solutions not recriminations from his camp after 4 years.

Most Catholic leaders have gone on the record as saying Ryan’s budget is “immoral” and goes against the teachings of Jesus Christ. It would be a slap in the face to all but the rich.

So, Obama is now no longer running against Romney, but is running against Ryan? The media must really be giving up on Obama if they are worried he can’t beat the opposing VP pick.

We have $16 Trillion in national debt, a 1.5 growth in GDP, a 8.3 unemployment rate ( U3 formula by Bureau of Labor and Statistic) to double digit unemployment rate ( U6 formula , if you are honest about it) and we want to do the same for another 4 years of ” YOU DIDN”T BUILD IT” and ” THE PRIVATE SECTORS ARE DOING FINE”.

Mr. Milton Friedman, please pardon Barrack Hussein’s failed agenda due to his ignorance that led us to this point. We need a new leader in 2012 November, period.
