		<description>WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME A REPUBLICAN ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING UNBIASED THAT HELPED EVERYONE AND NOT JUST THEMSELVES OR THE 1%?  

OK, OBAMA MIGHT NOT BE PERFECT, BUT LET&#039;S BE HONEST....DO YOU REALLY THINK ROMNEY CAN DO BETTER?  HIS ANSWERS ARE VAGUE.  HE DOESN&#039;T GIVE ANY SPECIFICS ABOUT HIS PLANS....BECAUSE IF HE DID....99% OF AMERICA WOULDN&#039;T VOTE FOR HIM.

HIS REMARKS ABOUT THE OTHER 99% OF AMERICA AS HE PUTS IT, &quot;THE ENTITLED&quot;...HE THINKS HE&#039;S ABOVE EVERYONE AND ONLY WANTS TO PURSUE HIS OWN AGENDA, WHICH HE WON&#039;T TELL ANYONE.

ROMNEY CRITICIZES HOW OBAMA RAN THE COUNTRY FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS, BUT LET&#039;S BE HONEST WITH OURSELVES...THE PRESIDENT DOESN&#039;T RUN THE COUNTRY HIMSELF AND LET&#039;S NOT FORGET HOW MANY TIMES WE HAVE HEARD IN THE PAST 4 YEARS HOW THE REPUBLICANS HAVE BLOCKED, STOPPED, DELAYED, OR OTHERWISE ANY OF THE PRESIDENTS ATTEMPTS TO GET THINGS DONE.

THESE ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE SUPPOSE TO DO WHAT WE WANT, BUT THEY DON&#039;T.  REPUBLICANS LIE ABOUT THEIR AGENDAS UNTIL THEY ARE VOTED INTO OFFICE AND THEN DO SOMETHING ELSE FULLY KNOWING WE AS AMERICANS ARE TOO APATHETIC TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.  WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR NOT HOLDING OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE.  REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT, IF THEY DON&#039;T COOPERATE AND ARE UNWILLING TO HELP MOVE THIS COUNTRY FORWARD....I SAY IT&#039;S TIME WE GET RID OF THEM.  IF THIS WERE ANY OTHER JOB, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED LONG AGO.

ROMNEY THINKS HE CAN JUST WALTZ IN AND FIX EVERYTHING....IF ANYONE IS DELUSIONAL, IT&#039;S HIM.  THINKING HE CAN JUST WALK IN IF ELECTED AND GET HIS WAY....ONLY AN ARROGANT, SELF-CENTERED, RIGHTEOUS INDIVIDUAL WOULD THINK THAT WAY.</description>

		<description>Examples of Obama&#039;s economics:  USSR, All of Eastern Europe, Cuba .. to name a few.  All of these learned and burned because of Socialism.  Today, USA and EU are the leaders of this stupidity, propagated by the Marxist Media Machine, infested in our schools, and universities.  Sure, large corporations are sitting on money, but small business (the paralyzed &quot;backbone&quot; of America) was what made the economy run, and that is what has been wiped out with confiscatory taxation and regulation.  I know, I used to employ over 30 people, for 18 years!  After Clinton regime, I walked away, and will NEVER hire another American again.  Instead, I will be moving overseas, not just the business, everything.  When all of us are gone, and you have nothing but &quot;Wall mart&quot;, and still ever-increasing taxes trying to replace the revenue that came from me.. you too, like the above ex-socialists, just might figure it out.  The only Fantasy out there is the one that assume people like me will participate in this nightmare.  Good luck!</description>

		<description>Journalists have always been dedicated with protecting Liberty ... not destroying it with slanted and o-missive stories.  Why did many of you go to college if the stories you write become tools for tyranny?</description>

		<description>Republicans keep hammering for votes but the transparency of their  campaign
is based on 3 strageries [as GW would say] 

Feed the voters this recipe to make them think that all will be ok if Mitt is in charge

1-Illusion
2-Delusion

		<description>Romney and ALL Republicans are so CLUELESS!  Their ideology will screw this country as assuredly as &quot;Dubya&quot; did.  Romney/Ryan&#039;s economic plans would be a disaster for the middle class. He wants to raise taxes in working Americans so the wealthy plunderers like him get even MORE tax breaks, amounting to $250,000 or MORE per year! The wealthy are already being taxed at historically low rates, thanks to &quot;Dubya&quot;, whose inept handling of our economy CAUSED the downward death spiral that Obama inherited from him. WAKE UP! This GOP platform would take the US backward to the 1950&#039;s, not forward in the 21st century. Get a load of THIS Republicans:
1. The Financial Times/Economist Global Business Barometer Survey found that twice as many business executives worldwide think it would be better for the global economy if OBAMA REMAINED PRESIDENT!
2. 56% of Americans favor spending on education and infrastructure by raising taxes on the wealthy and businesses to pay for it as THE way to spur the economy.
3. Only 37% want lower taxes and cuts in government spending, the INEPT Republican choice.
4. Corporate CEO&#039;s note that European austerity measures equals failed policies and leads to rioting.
5. Throughout economic history, tax cuts NEVER led to a growth boom, government spending on infrastructure and education HAS.
6. Romney/Ryan has the LEAST foreign policy AND national security experience of ANY ticket since Thomas Dewey and Earl Warren in 1948! And we know THAT outcome.
7. Neoconservatism is the Republican foreign policy equivalent of supply-side economics, BOTH have been tried, and BOTH have FAILED miserably.
And THOSE are just the economic arguing points, their social issues are WORSE!
NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN IF YOU VALUE AMERICA OR OUR FUTURE!
ROMNEY/RYAN WOULD CAUSE THE RUINATION OF OUR NATION.
Try looking up all the voter disenfranchisement scandals the Republicans have and are trying to foist off on the American public. Look into voting machines pre-loaded with enough Republican votes to throw whole elections. Read about Frank Luntz who spins and twists our language and the very names of bills and legislation to mislead and fraudulently dupe the citizens of our country. Then look up political scandals on wikipedia and look at &quot;Dubya&#039;s&quot; horrid administration&#039;s record! Top-level Republicans were indicted, prosecuted and impeached across the board. BUSH and CHENEY should have BOTH been impeached!
PLEASE spread this with Tweets and posts on Facebook and elsewhere. Our country&#039;s future could depend on this!</description>

		<description>Romney has low poll numbers on trustworthiness. Romney repeatedly refuses to tell voters the specifics of his tax plan or his own tax return, just says &quot;trust me.&quot; Romney is losing to Obama by double digits in the polls. Romney can&#039;t connect the dots. Romney is no &quot;turnaround genius.&quot; Romney is not qualified to be president.</description>

		<description>texbork I am a native Texan and what you did not bother to mention is that my beloved state is at the bottom in healthcare coverage and public education. Thank goodness for our state universities but the quality of life here really sucks and that is not something I am proud about. Also our over stayed governor refuses to establish healthcare exchanges which just means he will leave it up to the federal gov,t which the Tea Party hates, to establish our exchange. There are new tech jobs here in Austin for engineers but there are even morejobs  being created in the Houston Medical Center and shale jobs in Gonzalez. By the way our over stayed Governor bribed Apple to bring jobs to Austin with tax incentives that we will be paying for with taxes. Our job growth is a mixed blessed we still have a mutibillion long term deficit which the GOP is using accounting gimmicks to hide and slashing primary school funding.</description>

		<description>Neal Kluge posted:  &quot;...replace ‘o by a turnaround expert&quot;

Turn around &quot;expert&quot;?  LOL!  Do you know how venture capitalists work?  Companies like Bain find a business in trouble.  They fire employees, outsource jobs, borrow against the assets and give themselves big bonuses.  Sometimes the target company recovers after downsizing, but  frequently it goes out of business.  Job loss ripples through out a town after a company is shuttered, and housing values fall.

Sorry, no convincing evidence that Mitt Romney even knows how to turn around his campaign, much less move our nation forward.</description>
