    As of yesterday, the RNC took away all of Ron Paul’s Maine delegates, changed thier own party rules from needing a 5 state plurality of delegates to be placed in nimination to 8 states (effective immediately) and ignored all evidence of GOP cheating during the election of delegates throughout the process and not one Repuglican stood up and cried foul (Several states filed complaints against the GOP and all were ignored). I will not be voting for a single GOP nominee during this election cycle…period. The RNC has insured another 4 years of Democrat rule…House,Senate and POTUS….Thank you GOP/RNC for showing us what you’re made of…l;ying, cheating and compete disregard and contempt for the rules and the people in you own party. You have made us feel like we are not part of the GOP team…and we will oblige you by voting for anyone that isn’t part of your party. IF you must lie, cheat and steal votes, rather than play a fair and honest campaign game to elect your annointed one…you deserve what we give you in return….the end of the GOP. Most of us will be vote straight third party rather than to give the Repuglians any creedence at all…sorry to see the GOP become an obscure party from the past…but you’ve brought it on yourselves…goodbye GOP…. you’ve made your bed…now lie in it.

    Seeya…wouldn’t want to be ya…..

    Dear whiners…..your opinions are duly noted ahead of time…and I really don’t care…don’t waste you time whining to me…take you beef up with the RNC/GOP….this is thier baby and thier problem…they Disenfranchised us….. complain to them…not to me….I will have no response forthcoming…deal with it……Say hello to to another 4 years of democrat rule and the loss of our nation.

    May God have mercy on us all.

    Good Luck,

      WOW ! The immature, petulance of the members of the Paulite Cult seemingly knows no bounds!

        Ted Crawford ,

        I said I wouldn’t respond….

        I don’t hang out with liars, cheaters or thieves. I’ve never bought a car that I didn’t want…or any other product for that matter….and I’m not planning to start now…
        Romney is a product that the MSM, RNC and GOP are trying to sell me…and I’m not buying…end of story. I vote based on morals and integrity….not because someone else thinks it’s a great product….I’ve been sold these lemons in the past and I’m tired of squeezing out the lemonaid…when I was promised a bottle of fine wine. Maybe your standards are lower than mine…that is your problem. Keep sucking on those lemons….

        Best Wishes,

    Blacks voted 95% for Obama….this is another version of the “Stockholm” syndrome that explains why in some cases the kidnapped become friends with the kidnapper.Obama has done absolutely nothing for blacks and never will.Its so sad that the first black President had to be this narcissistic communist instead of a genuine leader who loves this country and could bring all of our people together for the common good

    • KQJM

      Why do people call him “black”? He had ONE black parent, ONE white parent. That makes him “mixed race”.

      • BobRobertson

        Duhhh…I have an education and a magna cum laude but I can’t understand why someone of mixed parents who says he distanced himself from his whiteness and embraced his blackness, and who calls himself black and who ran for POTUS as a black would be called black by other people. Can some of you lesser educated mortals of the great unwashed please try to explain it to me?

      • Ladybug

        THose dimwits cannot explain it, they are too dumb. It is because he is a racist! he is not an American, he does not speak like an American, he does not have American values, or American customs, he hates America and he wants to sink America for the glory of the retards, the Muslims who live in the 14th century. He is a Muslim and a very arrogant one at that, look at the way he holds his head and the clipped way of his speech, there are words he cannt pronounce correctly. He is an absolute racist!

      • KQJM

        Ladybug. I wasn’t asking how he “self-identified”. And of those I know of mixed race, many feel forced into identifying with one over another by society, not because they are racist, but because the arena in which they navigate is racist and either reject or accept them more readily, based on physical characteristics.

        What is it to “think like an American, talk like an American?” Gotta admit, you really got me on that one. I know lots of Americans that descend from the Chinese, Italian, Polish, Jewish, Muslim, Latino, Spanish, and Native American Indian “tribes”….. so please, tell me what “your” American looks like, cuz it sure as hell don’t look like mine!

      • KQJM

        Bob: Again, you show your colors. Instead of answering the question, and considering the merits of the question, you choose to ridicule and mock the person who poses the question. He is of mixed parentage. I did not ask how he self-identfies, I asked why others identify him as black, instead of using the more accurate term “mixed race”.

        Where I prefer clarity and accuracy in discussions, you opt for sarcasm and gutter tactics. All I hear in your response is “because I think about it the way others have framed the issue for me. I’m a follower of other people’s assessments. If you were as smart as you say you were, you would already know that without asking”.

        Just seeking confirmation of your cognitive style. Got it…. you’re a Follower.

    • Norm

      Roderick Crews
      Unfortunately many whites, especially in the South and Bible Belt, voted against him because he is “black”.
      I think he did the best he could given the lousy hand he was dealt, and during his second term we should see some real progress.

      • http://none Libtardharvestor

        You can’t possibly believe this idiot socialist will do anything other than sink America! Everything he’s done up to now has been absurdly amateurish and incompetent! How can you ignor the idiocy of the “man”. And there is absolutely NO way for you to know the motives of ANY voter. That this moron won at all belies your absurd gibberish about bigotry. Read any History? Find out who wrote the Jim crow laws, blocked black students at southern schools, fillabustered to prevent civil rights from passing, started the Civil War, and wants to keep the poor uneducated, helpless blacks on the (democrat controlled) public charity and OUT of mainstream society. See whose elected Federal representation were members of, and in some cases Leaders of, the KKK. The democrats have done less for ANY minority than Hitler would have. (although some of those southern democrat KKK folks did try hard!) Why the hell is there no IQ test for voters?

      • Ted Crawford

        Very true Norm. Some also voted against him because of his looks, and some because of the way he dressed, and some because he was a male. All these fringe groups are about equal in numbers as well! WOW !

  • Norm

    “I can’t speak to Governor Romney’s motivations,” Obama said. “What I can say is that he has signed up for positions, extreme positions, that are very consistent with positions that a number of House Republicans have taken. And whether he actually believes in those or not, I have no doubt that he would carry forward some of the things that he’s talked about.”
    President Barack Obama said Mitt Romney has locked himself into “extreme positions” on economic and social issues and would surely impose them if elected, trying to discredit his Republican rival at the biggest political moment of his life.
    In an interview with The Associated Press, Obama said Romney lacks serious ideas, refuses to “own up” to the responsibilities of what it takes to be president, and deals in factually dishonest arguments that could soon haunt him in face-to-face debates.

    • Ted Crawford

      Yes Norm, in sharp contrast to Obama, who credits the dismal shape of Unemployment and the Economy to Tsunami’s, Bush, ATMs,Tea Party, Kiosks,Republicans, Earthquakes,Bush, Snowstorms,Bush!

    Ladybug:
    You think people should pass along an undocumented scare tactic? Read some REAL legitimate news, not chain email letters. I quick google search and that email shows up on SNOPES (http://www.snopes.com/politics/medical/over75.asp) as FALSE.

    You need to check out nonpartisan sources like this: http://healthcarereform.procon.org/

    Romney / Ryan subscribe to the atheist Ayn Rand philosophy that SELF is all that matters, no one else. Ryan credits HER with informing his entire philosophy.

    Really, the entire Republican Platform is based on the mantra “tell a lie often enough, and people will believe it’s the truth”. They rely on your gullibility, fear, and ignorance in swallowing undocumented, false, information, known as PROPOGANDA.

    For profit HEALTH insurance is not interested in treating ANY sick people, get it? They want the SICK off their roll call…. the SICK drain their profits! They recruit large numbers of individuals who singular role is to find reasons to DENY claims.

    You are a fool if you think Romney/Ryan cares about your welfare…. Romney actually went so far as to state he “doesn’t care about the poor”. That’s the majority of retirees, for to Romneyites, anyone making less then $50-60 million a year is “poor” and not in their class. GET IT???

  • BobRobertson

    Having had only 12 years of public school, 4 years of college with CPA, and 3 years of law school and licensed, I was going to write a scathing attack on liberals and the unbelievable harm they have done to this country but I find I am unable to put into words the extent to which I loathe them and how wrong they are on everything they stand for.

    • Norm

      .I guess they forget to teach you to write. But then who deals in facts?

      I have BS and MS degrees in electrical and computer engineering as long as we’re
      “name” dropping.
      I am also a chagrined registered Republican

      • BobRobertson

        Well, gee, Norm they did teach me to write and to spell otherwise I could not have made the statement. They also left me with the idea that merely stating my credentials, not using some sort of association real or imagined social connection was not name dropping. They also taught me not to start sentences or paragraphs with a period, smartass.

      • Norm

        vigilant
        You’re not a commie. Your more like a Nazi.

      • Vigilant

        Norm, if you want to see a commie or nazi, just look in the mirror. And, get a little book larnin’ to understand that there’s very little difference between the two.

        I seek return to Constitutional principles, maximum individual freedom and government out of out business. If you call that communism or naziism, then you’re in dire need of a functioning brain.

    • KQJM

      Bob Robertson: When you can’t argue the issue, attack the person. That’s the entire strategy of the right.

      I consider myself independent, have friends on the “right” who I dearly love, friends on the “left” who I dearly love. Probably the greatest intellectual conservative of this era was William F. Buckley Jr., who considered Ayn Rand’s philosophy (on whom Ryan builds his ideology) as “absent of any goodness”. Here’s what greatest liberal intellectual of our time, Noam Chomsky, describes her as “evil”. Chuck Colsen, conservative evangelical leader, warns fellow conservatives that her philosophy is anti-Christian. Catholic Nuns and priests denounce Ryan’s budget as not representing Christian doctrine…(

      For the record, I too have an education. I graduated Magna Cum Laude. And I CAN provide (and have in these posts) FACTUAL data for positions I hold abhorring their current platform. That you can’t do the same means you really don’t know, you just have to have someone to hate.

      • BobRobertson

        I’m sorry, KQJM, if you thought I was attacking Norm, the person. I wasn’t. Simply wanted to make known my feelings about liberals, in general, and found I was insufficient to the task. I am glad you have an education and that you graduated magna cum laude.

    • eddie47d

      First read KQJM’s comment above you which has been brought up before and would prove Romney is a liar. His political ads tell a different story so Bob Robertson before taking on the Liberals get back to us on Romney’s legacy. Maybe Conservatives don’t always take the high road in getting themselves elected? KQJM didn’t even bring up the other side of Romney and his past. There is plenty to loath about on the Conservative side also but I think I’ll skip it for now. Some of you are so busy digging into Obama’s past that it must get a little overwhelming to take a peek into Romney’s.

    • Ted Crawford

      Bob. any of who frequent this site are well aware of ole Norm. We know he is a “registered Republican”, we also are well aware that the Pope is really a Babtist!

      • Ted Crawford

        OH MY! Norm and the spelling police will surely have me now!

      • Vigilant

        Norm claims to be a registered Republican? What a hoot!

        He probably registered as such (if we can believe that) merely to vote in the Republican primary in his state. No doubt he votes for the most liberal RINO on the ticket.

        If Normie’s a Republican, I’m a communist.

      • Vicki

        Norm makes a lot of claims but offers little or no evidence so we mostly ignore his posts.

  • KQJM

    Comment (not mine) posted on another site, but I found it more informative by providing actual information, not personal opinion.

    Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts from 2002 through 2006. So Massachuesettians are in a good position to judge his capabilities. This is what they think :

    1. OBAMA HAS HUGE LEAD IN MASS. Romney Trails Obama by 25% in polls of Mass Voters.

    2. LOWEST APPROVAL IN MASS. HISTORY. Massachusetts had elected three Republicans Governors before Romney. All of those Republican Governors left office with high approval ratings

    When Romney left office, he had the lowest approval rating in state history 34%.

    Why did the voters sour on Romney so quickly? Look at his record:

    3. JOB CREATION FELL. Job creation fell from 37th to 47th during Romney’s term.

    1998-2002 = 37th
    2002-2006 = 47th

    A drop of 10 places in four years.

    During his 4 year term, Romney only increased the number of jobs by 1% compared to 5% for the nation

    4. THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WORKING DECLINED. Between 2002-2006, the number of people working in Mass declined by 8,500, the only state to lose jobs. The rest of the country added 8 million jobs.

    5. LOST MANUFACTURING JOBS. Romney lost 14% of the manufacturing jobs in the state, including 40,000 high paying manufacturing jobs.

    6. PEOPLE LEFT MASS TO FIND WORK ELSEWHERE. A net 222,000 people moved out of Mass to seek employment else where, a loss of 3.5% of the work force.

    Romney brags that unemployment dropped, but that’s because the unemployed had moved out of the state.

    7. WAGES DROPPED. Between 2002-2004, wages dropped 5%. Between 2002-2006, the median wage fell by $10 or 2%.

    8. SHIPPED STATE JOBS OVERSEAS. Romney vetoed legislation that would have prohibited sending State jobs overseas and bared state contractors from sending jobs overseas. He even sent State Call Center Jobs overseas.

    9. INCREASED DEBT. Romney had the largest increase in debt of any Governor in the country, increasing by more than $2.6 billion. He even borrowed money to pay for ordinary operating costs such as highway repair and maintenence.

    10. INCREASED GOVERNMENT COST FALL ON MIDDLE CLASS. Romney cuts taxes for the wealthy, while increasing hundreds of fees that fall mainly on the middle class. Romney increased the fees on services more than the cost of those services and then transfered the money to other account to pay for his pet projects, all so he could say he didn’t raise taxes

  • http://na Mike in NE

    Norm, what makes you think your propaganda will have any effect on this board, other than the few that are swallowing the same crap the MSM puts out like you?

    • Norm

      Mike
      Unlike you, some people like to hear both sides of any issue.

    • eddie47d

      You are partially right Norm. Sadly most only want to hear one side and they are adamant about that!

    • Vicki

      Those of us who actually do want to hear several sides of an issue also want cites to backup the claims of the writers. Something that conservatives are very good at providing and liberals not so much.

  • Carol J

    Hmmm. Wonder what the difference was. I had my stress test done and the info sent to Medicare. They disapproved 80% of the cost and then paid only 20% of what they approved. The test was done in my cardiologists office which cost about 1/10th of what it would have cost at the hospital. Medicare takes $99 a month from my $891 a month SS. Last year Medicare paid out a total of $49 on my medical claims. They pay nothing to my primary care doctor. After having to pay fully for my last 3 visits, I haven’t been to him in 4 years. So far I’ve been lucky, but with a stent and a cholesterol problem I have to have checkups from my cardiologist. Norm, you’re lucky you have supplemental. I don’t Previous employer reneged on setup and cancelled ins. when I reached 65. Supplemental was up to $190 a month and prescription coverage was up to $88 a month, and that doesn’t include the co-pays. Had to drop it because I couldn’t pay my monthly utilities and insurance too. I’m just lucky I own my home with no mortgage. Thousands of others aren’t that lucky.

    • Norm

      Carol J
      Mine paid the full 80%.
      Remember is an annual deductible of $162.

    • Karolyn

      Carol – Is SS your only income? I only receive $723 per month and have just qualified to have the state of SC pay for my Medicare Part B. Of course, this is only temporary; my job just ended in June; and I do have a part time job on the horizon. Of course, I do live alone. However, to me it’s a moot point because I am in excellent health and intend to continue to research and do my utmost to keep my health that way.

  • Norm

    The Medicare plan in Ryan’s latest budget, which Romney says is “close to identical” to his own, has the details. In 10 years, Medicare would be remade into a subsidies system where seniors can buy insurance from a menu of private plans and a government option, with vouchers aimed at covering the cost of the cheapest two policies on the exchange.

    That’s broadly similar to the core structure of Obamacare, under which the government sets up a regulated market exchange to ensure that plans cover a broad array of benefits. The law provides a subsidy to Americans who cannot afford insurance on their own.

    Both plans also have mechanisms to compel people to participate: under Romney-Ryan, seniors are forced to pay Medicare taxes either way so they have no incentive not to use the voucher; under Obamacare, Americans either buy insurance or pay a tax penalty.

    • merid

      and a panel of non medical group will make the decision on who gets care based a lot on age…no thanks..those that can’t afford to pay for their own care will be thrown under the bus…

      • Ladybug

        Yoy are right; I received this e-mail yesterday, read it carefully and pass it along, this is very SCARY:
        [Combat Evaluation Group] SENIORS – Now this is SCARY!!!

        I am SO afraid that this JERK is going to be re-elected……
        We can’t stand another 4 years of this

        Forget about getting to age 75, this exact thing happened to me this
        morning at Danbury hospital here in Ct. I was scheduled for a cardio-lite stress
        test. This is a tread mill stress test where during the process they
        inject nuclear dye into your blood stream and then put you in a CAT scan or
        something similar and take a picture of your heart. If all is good the
        heart shows up red, if there are blocked arteries anywhere that portion of
        the heart shows up pink. I have had three of these tests in the past
        twelve years due to blocked arteries discovered in 2000. They use the test to
        determine if I need a roto router or a bypass operation.

        So I arrive at the hospital at 8am this morning and I am in the process of
        checking in at Cardiology and the lady says that my appointment has been
        canceled. She makes a call and speaks with someone and hands me the
        phone. It is a nurse in cardiology who says that my medical coverage denied the
        procedure. I said it was routine, part of my heart maintenance process
        and ordered by my PCP and with approval from my Cardiologist who is the head
        of Danbury Cardiology which is right where I was standing. She goes, “yes
        but we were denied our request”. So I say, I have Medicare so what is my
        backup insurance doing denying anything. Then the bombshell, she says it was the
        Medicare board that denied the procedure.

        At that point, I turn to everyone behind me, and it was a long line, and I
        say to them “well you won’t have to wait too long today because my stress
        test procedure was just canceled by a Medicare Death Panel. I am only 67
        so can you imagine what is going to happen when we really get old”. The
        entire waiting room and everyone there from patients to staff just went
        dead silent. So I turn to the front desk and tell them, ” I guess I will have
        to write a letter to the editor of the Danbury News Times and call my
        Senators and Congressman and let them know the Death Panels have already
        convened”. Then I walked out.

        By the time I got home the message machine was blinking. My PCP had
        already called and so did the hospital and guess what, Medicare decided to
        approve my stress test procedure and if I could get back down to the hospital they
        would fit me in right now for this 3 hour procedure. I told them I
        couldn’t make it, that I was going fishing because I didn’t know how many more
        fishing trips I could get in before I went into cardiac arrest but not to
        worry about me costing the government any money because I am a 30%
        disabled Army veteran, due to Agent Orange poisoning which is what caused this
        heart problem to begin with, and I qualify to be buried for free in a plain pine
        wrapper in the cheap graves section at any National Cemetery. I
        certainly don’t want to cost our government any money so maybe we just
        won’t do this procedure anymore and we can use the money to redistribute it to
        all of the illegals to keep them alive so they can mow the lawns at the
        National Cemeteries.

        So this Death Panel crap has started. If we don’t vote this guy and his
        criminal cronies out of office this November then we will all die younger
        than we should as broke paupers as the country goes bankrupt. Feel free
        to distribute my note to anyone and make it a mission to not only make your
        vote count but on behalf of all of us please make an effort to change the
        thinking of anyone remotely willingly to get intellectually engaged in
        this critical time in our country’s history.

        I have no words!!

        – SENIORS –

        WELL ISN’T THIS SOME SPECIAL NEWS GRANDMA AND PAPA!!!

        I had one of the most troubling, most disturbing conversations ever with
        Dr. Suzanne Allen, head of emergency services at the Johnson City Medical
        Center in Tennessee . We were discussing the “future” and I asked her had she
        seen any affects of Obama Care in her work?

        “Oh, yes. We are seeing cutbacks throughout the services we provide. For
        example, we are now having to deal with patients who would normally
        receive dialysis can no longer be accepted. In the past, there was always
        automatic approval under Medicare for anyone who needed dialysis — not anymore.”
        So, what will be their outcome? “They will die soon without dialysis,” she
        stated.

        What about other services? She indicated as of 2013 (after the election),
        no one over 75 will be given major medical procedures unless approved by
        locally administered Ethics Panels. These Panels will determine whether a
        patient receives medical treatment or not. While details on specific
        operating procedures and schedules, Dr. Allen points out that most
        life-threatening emergencies do not occur during normal hospital business
        hours, and if there are emergencies that depend to be resolve within
        minutes or just few hours, the likely hood of getting these Panels approval in
        time to save a life are going to be very challenging and difficult, if not
        impossible she said.

        This applies to major operations such as receiving stents, bypass surgery,
        kidney operations, or treating for an aneurysm that would be normally
        covered under Medicare today. In other words, if you needed a life-saving
        operation, Medicare will not provide coverage anymore after 2013 if you
        are 75 or over. When in 2013? “We haven’t been given a specific date — could
        be in January or July….but it’s after the election.”

        This is shocking to any of us who will be 75 this year. Her advice — get
        healthy and stay healthy. We do not know the specifics of the actual
        implementation of the full Obama Care policies and procedures — “they
        haven’t filtered down to the local level yet. But we are already seeing
        severe cuts in what we provide to the elderly — we refused dialysis to an
        individual who was 78 just the other day….we refused to give stents to a
        gentleman who was in his late 80s.” Every day, she said, we are seeing
        these cutbacks aimed at reducing care across the board for anyone who is over
        75.

        We can only hope that Obama Care will be overturned by the Supreme
        Court — otherwise, this is a death sentence to those who are over 75….perhaps
        you should pass this on to your friends who are thinking of voting for Obama
        this year. Regardless if you have private health care coverage now (I have Aetna
        Medicare Part B) — it will no longer apply after 2013 if the Ethics
        Panels disapprove of a procedure that may save your life.

        Scary, scary, scary. Think about this? You? Your parents?

        I live in Connecticut also, and have had the same test with no problems.
        I have Medicare and a supplement from a previous employer. I am very happy with how things are. Thanks to Obamacare, yearly medical exams require no co-pays, and for those that use the drug plan (part d) the “donut hole” is being eliminated.
        Romney’s plan will only help the rich Insurance companies get fatter and richer.

        The only ones being “thrown under the bus” are the folks dropped from health care coverage courtesy of the Republicans and private health care providers. . Was that number 45 million or 54 million. Heck what’s a few million!

        Ladybug – Is this an email from someone you personally know who went through this? Otherwise it could just be more propaganda. What we receive via email should be taken with a grain of salt. Also, “Her advice — get healthy and stay healthy.” is they way it should be anyway. If people took better care of their bodies, there would be far less illness, and we wouldn’t have such serious healthcare issues in this country.

      • Ladybug

        Yes, I know this person and I know this to be true also. And this person is not the only one, I know many more who were denied care that was supposed to be included in their insurance, for which they paid, Medicare. They are too old now to get work and pay for private insurance which is waaaaay too expensive. It is a huge scam in my opinion. All the money people pay for insurance and then some bureaucrat gets to decide whether you can receive that care or not. This infuriates me. The same happened in the 90′s in Europe, I paid for the universal healthcare, which was taken straight from my salary every months but because I had a high income I was not allowed to use it and had to buy private healthcare insurance for me and my 2 kids which was even more expensive, I could not NOT take it because it was mandatory (I hate that word) (in my book that is STEALING from people) and when we needed to use the insurance 1 time they denied it, some idiot behind a desk just denied us the care, so I paid out of pocket and told them some 4 things with choice words (I went there in person), they were too astounded that someone would even think of questioning them and tell them what one thinks of them that they never said a word, the imbeciles; no one there ever dares say anything against them, most are like sheep, not me, I am like a tiger and no one messes with me.

      Q: Did an emergency-room physician in a Tennessee hospital say the new health care law is currently denying dialysis to some Medicare patients, and will deny care to those over 75 in 2013?
      A: No. A spokesman for the hospital says the doctor never said the things attributed to her in a chain email, and they are not true. A guest in the doctor’s home fabricated the account
      Ed Herbert, a representative for the Johnson City Medical Center confirmed that the conversation quoted in an email is fraudulent. According to Herbert, a guest of Dr. Allen’s home created the untrue email to further a political point.

      President Obama pushed back Republican accusations that he “raided” Medicare to fund his signature legislative achievement, the Affordable Care Act, and accused Mitt Romney of “overheated rhetoric at election time.”
      “We gave seniors deeper discounts on prescription drugs, and made sure preventive care like mammograms are free without a co-pay,” Obama said in his weekly White House address. “We’ve extended the life of Medicare by almost a decade and I’ve proposed reforms that will save Medicare money by getting rid of wasteful spending in the healthcare system and reining in insurance companies – reforms that won’t touch your guaranteed Medicare benefits. Not by a single dime.”

    Under Paul Ryan’s plan, Mitt Romney wouldn’t pay any taxes for the next ten years — or any of the years after that. Now, do I know that that’s true. Yes, I’m certain.
    Well, maybe not quite nothing. In 2010 — the only year we have seen a full return from him — Romney would have paid an effective tax rate of around 0.82 percent under the Ryan plan, rather than the 13.9 percent he actually did. How would someone with more than $21 million in

        I don’t know Norm, perhaps we might ask Jeffery Immelt (Obamas American Jobs Czar) $14 Billion in income, while paying a total of ‘$0′ income taxes, he should know! By the way his qualifications for his “American Jobs Czar” position was he had just fired 25,000 Americans while at the same time hiring 15,000 in China!

      • Ladybug

        He never mentioned that, huh? No complaints from that Muslim POS in teh White House about GE not paying any taxes at all, and GE invetsing billions of dollars in China, firing thousands of Americans and hiring Chinese in China. Someone should ask the POS about that? I cannot wait for the answer, but I will not hold my breath, that POS is not worth it.

      • KQJM

        Ted Crawford and Ladybug:

        You *do* know that Jeffrey Immelt is lifelong Republican, right? So in an effort to INCLUDE Republicans in the decision making process, Obama appoints him to an advisory position and you BASH Obama for including one of your own?????

        * The REPUBLICAN Jeffrey Immelt, like Romney, made huge amounts of money and paid very few taxes.
        *The REPUBLICAN Immelt accepted the Obama Administration appointment to better represent and perpetuate the Republican Model.
        *The REPUBLICAN Jeffrey Immelt is reportedly very dissatisfied with his ability to convert Obama to REPUBLICAN ideology (you know, pay no taxes and move jobs offshore)
        *Republican ideology is based on Ayn Rand’s “objectivism, individiualism, and ‘it’s all about me” philosophy. Justified selfishness and hedonism.

      What you might want to notice here Norm is, that with the exception of you very few Progressive Partisans, most Americans aren’t the least bit interested in Romneys taxes, his wealth, nor where he choses to keep it!

      The three principles of Natural Law pronounced by Jefferson in the Declaration were life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

      “Life” was mentioned first because all the other natural rights are subordinate to it. You would deny life, the most precious gift of all, in order to maintain your pursuit of happiness.

      As for keeping the government out of your body, suggest you direct your selfish comments to those who would actually enter you body to do harm, i.e., the abortionists.

        Your are not women, you know nothing about women, you are just a vaje je!. Meaning not a real man. There is only one man that can judge what a women does. He is God.
        Women can make the right judgement about when they need an abortion, just as they can make choices of being prostitutes and drug users. That child you kept from being aborted today could be the next victim of the death row. Such hypocrites, if you believe in death row, how can you be pro-life?

      • JUKEBOX

      • Nadzieja Batki

        alicia, I believe you are the one who is playing god and doing a bad job of it. So you determine which child should be aborted because they may end up on death row. So that child’s choice is taken away to be a decent human being or a vile human being.

      • Vigilant

        Muddle-headed Alicia says, “There is only one man that can judge what a women does. He is God.”

        God is a man? Not only is that false, it’s also inaccurate to say that God hasn’t judged. You fail to recall, conveniently, the text of the Sixth Commandment.

        “Women can make the right judgement about when they need an abortion, just as they can make choices of being prostitutes and drug users.”

        Rather inconsistent of you, I must say, after just commenting that only God can make that judgment, which he has.

        “That child you kept from being aborted today could be the next victim of the death row.” Or the Messiah. Or a great doctor. Or a wise world leader. Care to go on?

        “Such hypocrites, if you believe in death row, how can you be pro-life?”

        And how do we do that? Do you have a way to see when the soul and or spirit enters your child? I would like to learn that.

        As to prostitution and drug use, it is YOUR government that is interfering with that. You did know that Democrats had full control of government for 2+ years right?

      • Vigilant

        Karolyn says, “There are those that say that legalized abortion has a direct correlation with the drop in crime in the 80s and 90s.”

        First of all, the correlation is not proven. Secondly, if, for sake of argument, one would admit to a correlation, then what is the point?

        The direction of such an argument is suspiciously close to Margaret Sanger’s racist position regarding eugenics, especially for black people. Do we also follow KQJM’s contention that resources are wasted on the elderly to keep them alive?

        Liberals treat people as statistics and not as individuals who have Natural Law rights to life. Kill foetuses to reduce the crime rate? How ABSOLUTELY immoral is that? Get the oldsters out of the way early so younger folks can live in a nicer house? The insidious science of eugenics is alive and well in the leftist camp.

        Secondly, if the duly elected representatives in the state of Virginia wish to pass such a law, that is their business, just as it was the business of Massachusetts to pass Romneycare.

        I agree, Jim, that Obama is bright, compassionate, sincere, and a PATRIOT. Also, for republicans reading….who cares if the leader of the free world has ever used a teleprompter?? What does that matter? If he does, maybe he wants to say things in a manner that people most easily understand. If someone gives a speech and gets one word off, it could change the meaning of what they are saying. Have you ever meant to say one thing, and it came out slightly off? The president does not have the luxury of being imperfect in his speeches. Especially, when there are so many just drooling at the opportunity to say, ‘GOTCHA’!

      • Vigilant

        Eden, it’s difficult to determine just how your comment addresses anything I said.

        Certainly you can’t, though so many of your ilk do, try to justify the mass murder of foetuses on the basis of the infinitesimally small number of abortions as a result of rape or incest.

        I clearly used the term “on-demand” to mean what it generally means in usage, i.e., based on a whim, terminating a life because pregnancy ruins a woman’s looks, because they don’t feel ready for marriage, because it would impact their career, because it’s an inconvenience, etc.

        Using the rape or incest argument is simply a smokescreen, and you know it.

        The period after WWII was an era of very high taxation and America thrived. Employment went gang busters and workers were respected. Other countries actually bought FROM the USA when unions were strong and hard work meant something. Yes the ship of state was ran tighter but I don’t think that had much to do with the Republicans. It was the Republicans who 20-30 years later gave banks free reign and Wall Street a blank check. Now how are those failed policies working out for us? Now back in the days when our economy was humming the Republicans brought us the Joe McCarthy era along with Edgar Hoover spied on us citizens which was nothing more than a precursor for the Patriot Act. That was also brought to us courtesy of the Republicans. This is not in defense of Democrats but your ridiculous ASSumptions the the Republicans are doing us any favors.

        Vig – I’m trying to figure out what what period you’re talking about. Are you talking about the end of WWII, when the national debt was larger the GNP? Maybe it was the Eisenhower administration when the top tax bracket was 91%? Or was it Eisenhower again when the federal government started the Interstate Highway System, which abridged the states’ right to control their roads? Or how about the NIxon administration which instituted the Wage and Price Controls (IMHO, the most socialist policy the government has tried)?

        My guess is that you’ve overdosed on “Leave it Beaver” reruns. What a suggestive title!

      • Vigilant

        Norm blathers, “Yes let’s go back to a time when the life expectancy was 45.
        Let’s dump plumbing, communications, transportation, medical science, etc. Let’s eliminate the military, police, fire fighters, public education, and all buy flintlock muskets. How swell!!”

        Normie, that argument is so shopworn and discredited that you need to get a revised list of talking points.

        It has become de rigeur to suggest that Conservatives want to wipe out all technological progress. Absolute propaganda, and worse, you KNOW it’s a lie. If you’re so cocksure of this point, quote JUST ONE Conservative who has EVER said such.

        Oddly, it was the system of private enterprise that created the advances you mentioned, at a time when government kept out of the private sector and minded its own business. It is the overarching government control NOW that stifles advances in those very things.

        As for eliminating the military, police, and fire fighters, when and where have you heard Conservatives advocate such eradication? You are certifiable.

        Once again, it was unconstitutional government interference in public so-called “education” that is ruining this nation by dribs and drabs. When properly left in the hands of the states, this nation was tops in the world for technological expertise.

      • Vigilant

        Same comment to you, Teddie.

        Incidentally, wage and price controls were used by FDR in WWII as well as Truman during the Korean War. Indeed, your opinion is as humble as your lack of education.

        My point was that Republicans principles aren’t always so principled Vigilant. I’m not buying their bed of roses or will I glaze over the harm they have caused. The Republicans have been excellent at taking away rights or denying them and have voted that way for for quite some time now.

      • Vigilant

        Vigilant…OPEN YOUR EYES! What in the world are you talking about???? Our president has taken our country outta the brink of a Depression! My friends who have tech jobs, and computer jobs are in high demand! They have too many positions that cannot be filled! Small business, like Archies Acres, and green technologies are starting up, as well as tons of new small businesses who get tax breaks if they hire anyone. If I go to the mall, I see job position openings.
        Look up the Dept of labor and statistics, and you’ll see that millions of jobs have been created and we are coming outta the dark ages. Your republican friends are so bold, they SAY they wanna take away funds for education, health health care for poor women (not abortion payments…women have always paid for their own abortions), privatize social security, and turn medicare into a voucher program. Are you kidding me? Do you know that this will send the poor, elderly, and mentally ill, out on the streets? Do you know these people are able to become productive citizens if they are only given a very very small amount to live on?
        Where will many go? They will go to prisons for one. One prison inmate costs $30,000 or 40k a year tax payer money vs. maybe $1000 period, plus they start working if they are at all able to?
        Why dont you and your friends ever consider CORPORATE WELFARE? Don’t free jets, cruises, ski lodge vacations for the major corporations ever bother you people?? This is tax payer money at work. 10 times or more, than welfare for the poor. There is NO trickle down….this theory is a crock, otherwise, we would have seen this, instead of the fall of 2008. WTF?

        In the first case Norm, where did the financing come from to build this Infrastructure? In no small part it was financed by the taxes paid by these same businesses.
        In the second case, if Obama believes that he and the Progressives are justified in claiming a share of the credit for these business successes, because of the creation of this infrastructure, don’t they also, by the same criteria, need to accept an equal responsibility for those like Ted Kaczynski, Mohammod Atta, Bernie Maddoff, ETC. , who also used the very same infrastructures to accomplish their goals?

        Since transportation, power, communications and customers are all provided by private individuals I am not sure I see your point.

        If I did not create a business then I would not hire a trucker so a trucker would not create a business to supply transport. I would not need power to run the non-existent business so a power provider would not exist. I would not need to communicate with my customers so no communications would exist.

      Robert E. Lee, I saw the entire video of the speech president Obama gave, instead of the splices you were fed, accompanied by opinion used as fact. President Obama actually was talking about how infrastructure, and loans, and our American government with its laws were in place in order for people to start their own businesses.

      When the words, ‘You didn’t do this’ were said, he was talking about INFRASTRUCTURE, and had not started to talk about people starting their businesses yet. Its clear you have a need to feed your soul with vile falsehoods about our President. It can only mean you’re LOOKING for anything to validate your preexisitng hate. Hate based on…….??? Do you realize that our country has been pulled outta the gutter by this president, and by taking him out of office at this critical juncture, we will be getting horrifying policies passed such as privatizing social security, changing medicare to a voucher program, and doing away with health care (NOT ABORTION PAID FOR ), yes health care for poor women??? Why are you people so hateful? You are destroying your own selves along with the rest of the country with this hate. (look up the RYAN PLAN)

    • KG

      If you listen to Mr Obamas comment closely, and in context, what he said was “…those roads, and bridges…you didn’t build that” which is true. If it werent for the infrastructure provided by OUR Government, no small business would survive. If you are such a “business person”, why doin’t you go to Somalia? I hear they have complete freedom of bearing arms.And the pay NO TAXES! Why, you should make millions there!!!!!

      • Nadzieja Batki

        Actually the infrastructures would be better and sounder. Since you seem to think that people are basically selfish why in sam’s hill would they want to create and build things to their self destruction since they would be using those infrastructures.
        You are also describing yourself that you would cheat and cut corners if there was noone watching you work.

        Not-so-Warm Norm says, “Let’s not forget Bush left the economy in shambles.”

        (1) Democrats created the economic debacle by keeping afloat Fannie/Freddie after the Bush administration over 15 times warned the Congressional Democrats of the impending implosion. He was ignored.

        (2) In case you don’t have a calendar, it’s 2012. Obama’s had 4 years to turn things around. Not only has he failed to do it, he has made things worse for the country.

        “And let’s not forget that Romney wants to increase the military budget, cut taxes on multimillionaires already paying at the poverty rate, and destroy Social Security and Medicare.”

        If you don’t know who pays the taxes in this country, go to http://www.ntu.org/tax-basics/who-pays-income-taxes.html. The top 10% pay 70.5% of the taxes.

        There was nothing that Vigilant said that was racisist. When faced with facts, however, that is all your kind can come up with, and it is wearing thin.

      • Harold Olsen

        And yet, Obama says the highlight of his presidency is not Obamacare but that he stabilized the economy. What has he been smoking?

      • Dave67

        Liberty,

        Source for your deficit numbers? Please show me all the spending Obama is responsible for.

        Here is the reality:

        In a recession, tax receipts go down, payments for unemployment insurance and training workers go up.
        We were in two wars while at the same time, the Bush tax cuts were in place.
        We are dealing with baby-boomers that are retiring which causes our spending on entitlements to go through the roof because the younger generation entering the workforce does not equal the numbers of retirees…

        Obama is responsible for the Stimulus that saved millions of jobs, the auto industry bail out, the second TARP. The HC law is not even on the books yet.

        We have two parties in Congress that are more interested in games than fixing the country.

        Obama is not the Teddy Roosevelt we needed but Romney will be just another Bush 2 rubber stamp for the banks and wall street that screwed this country.

        We need to come together as a country and fix our tax/spending policy, trade policy and regulatory policies. A major focus should also be getting big money out of the political process as well.

        Some here say we should have smaller government, “free markets” and less taxes… Sounds great doesn’t it? But the fact is these things do not help us much in the global economy. It does not help us against country’s like China, India and other countries that that pay their workers pennies on the dollar, exert controls on their currency, have no environmental regs or unions to protect workers.

        We as Americans need to wise up and stop letting extremists on the right and left and the corporatists divide this country. United we stand, divided we fall. We did not win WW2 with BS like this going on, we worked together. Unitil we get smart… Looks like Khrushchev was right, we will be defeated without a gun even being shot. We will do it to each other…

        So stop with “we have lost our freedom BS” We have lost middle class and poor wages because of greed at the top.

      You seriously love to watch your country go into so much debt your great grand kids will still be paying it down that is if China doesn’t just take us over. You enjoy watching our rights disappear and working your butt off to have someone take it from you and give it to someone else.

      • Harold Olsen

        Naive and misguided? I don’t think so. He said a few months ago that the economy is just fine. From his point of view it is. It’s in the toilet which is where he wants it to be. He’s out to deliberately destroy this country that he hates and what better way to destroy a country than by destroying the economy? His supporters equally hate this country, but then, the left always has!

    • SarahR

      If you really like what Obama stands for(Marxism) than go live where it exists and is thriving. Can’t find where it is thriving? Oh, right, it’s a dismal failure ask Carl Marx/Stalin/Hitler. How about China where there are no street light at night. Where they have to secure nets outside of windows of businesses because too many workers have jumped out the windows commiting suicide.

      The Republicans should start thinking about voting for Ron Paul. He is a decent human being who truly cares about our country. Romney – birther remark tells us loud and clear, he doesn’t. Ann’s remark, “YOU PEOPLE” should leave us along regarding their taxes says he doesn’t care either.

      • Norm

        How anyone could seriously consider voting for Flip Romney is totally beyond the realm of intelligent thought.
        If you think things are bad now, you “aint seen nuttin yet”. “Trust me” is not a plan for the future.

      • Vigilant

        It appears that Obama-lover Norm’s mission here is to encourage the vote split to guarantee re-election of the Socialist.. Not only is your paltry attempt too transparent, it’s typical of the paid operative. Anyone ever tell you you’re a disgusting individual?

        AHHHH, I get it, now.

        Surf on, Vigilant, and make your 1%-er public relations arguments to the poor …. At least you’ve finally got a job.

        A vote for Ron Paul or NO VOTE is a vote for another 4 yrs of Obumba.

        Close but the wrong R. A vote for Romney or NO VOTE is a vote for another 4 yrs of Obumba.

        Romney is Obama in Romney cloth. Both big government selections for us to choose. One is for big government right now (obama) and the other is for big government real soon (Romney)

        Vote for the Constitution. Vote for Principle. Vote against the greater AND lessor of 2 evils.

        The Romneys are elitists. To them, we are just insignificant peasants. I don’t believe things will get better under Romney. He’s an Obama clone and I won’t vote for him any more than I’d vote for Obama. Just who I will vote for I do not know, but it’ll be someone whom I believe in.

      Sorry TAMARA, but your Hussein Obama really does not want to be President, he & his family mostly enjoys ALL the FREE Tax paid, trips they have taken, seeing most of the world and the POWER of a President, and the rest of the things, he doesn’t understand nor like. You can see this by the way he always leaves the WH! Never there to work with Congress, because of his trips! He just wants to change America to be a Muslim country!

      • mark

        Yeah right Tom, like the two Bushes and Reagan spent all their time working hard at the White House and never took any diplomatic or campaign trips on the taxpayers’ dime. Air Force One is grounded permanently when Republicans are president. The plane never leaves Andrew’s Air Force Base since they are so frugal with the taxpayers’ money. Dubya flew economy on Southwest and paid cash from his own wallet for all this trips.

      I am on Tamara’s side, Obama never lied, he told us that he wanted change, and he is changing this obsolete Capitalistic Democratic system, that we have here, for a bright socialist/communist system where everyone will be equal . We don’t need God or Christians any more, that’s a fallacy, what we need are people like you,Tamara, with the desire to work hard and sacrifice for our new system. I also think, like Tamara, that “he is the coolest President we ever had”. During his College years he was addicted to drugs and homosexual behavior, and he doesn’t lie about it. Tamara, don’t listen to all these people, you are on the right track!

      • Ladybug

        What viper hatched you? I find it hard to believe that ‘people’ like you and Tamara even exist! you both show your stunning ignorance of facts – I know, facts are so bothersome for dimwits! – it must be that you both suck on the Muslim’s tit, otherwise there is no reason to find him ‘cool’, which is another isgn of the deterioration of culture, the misuse of words and taking away their original significance. That Muslim you both adore is the most arrogant (look at the way he holds his head), tyrannic, deceptive, narcissistic megalomaniac I have ever met; It still amazes me that he worked his way into the White House which I believe could only be accomplished by corruption and fraud and he himself is a big fraud: where are his records, why are they all sealed? why show forgeries to the people? He forgets that he is supposed to be working for US, the People, just like everyone else in government: they are OUR employees, we pay for them with our taxes and they abuse their positions and take more than they should and they take it for life, this MUST change. And vipers like you and Tamara better start looking at FACTS, IF you know what facts are or just shut up! Dingbats like you should not interfere in the conversation of intelligent adult people.

        It’s sad to realize our country has devolved to such a low point there are actually people who think like you do. Since there is a paucity of meaningful discourse on this blog I won’t proselytize further. I do have a question. What is the motivation to work and sacrifice for your new system which doesn’t reward work or sacrafice?

    • Mr. Gallagher

      So there you have it, appearance trumps content..

      It’s hard to really tell for sure, is president Obama living in his own little delusional world, thinking he’s doing “good” as the Nation that he swore to “preserve, protect and defend” to the best of his ability is rapidly dismantled on his watch. Or, is he the most polished imposter ever to occupy our White House, his sleight of words bedazzling people and redirecting their attention away from what is really going on with government.

      I think that one must understand the Principles of Liberty before they can truly comprehend the creep of communism into our political thinking and social structures. I consider many of the people caught up in the “progressive” movement to be compassionate and caring people. They’ve just bought the lie that having a centralized government take wealth from one part of our population and giving it to another part is an exercise in kindness.

      Where is the kindness in providing a subsistence level of living to a person or a family, then holding them there? The burden of holding those recipients on the government dole is then placed upon the backs of the most productive element of our society? This is exactly a plank of the Communist Manifesto, to burden the middle class with massive entitlement programs.

      Benjamin Franklin said, “I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.”

      Let us develop the means to empower the less fortunate, or those who have suffered some catastrophic loss and have thereby been “beaten down” in some manner…finding ways to provide them with opportunities for personal growth and improved success but without causing them to become dependent upon “handouts”.

      At this point, the only legitimate and effective replacement for our current president would be Ron Paul, in my opinion.

      “You can protect your liberties in this world only by protecting the other man’s freedom. You can be free only if I am free.” ~ Clarence Darrow

      • Average Joe

        Mr. Gallagher ,

        Thank you, well said ! I will add, from Tom Woods:

        “In a world of cowards, stick to your principles. In a sea of lies, tell the truth. Into the darkness, shine a light. Do those things and be that person. Be courageous, studious, and persistent. Remember that the one person on this earth you have full power to improve is yourself. Learn and teach whenever and wherever you can. Be your own army of one, and then you will be carrying on the Ron Paul legacy.”

      Wake up! The KOOL-AID is still on your lips, and brain, from 2008. Obama is a moron, consumed by ideology. Nothing he says or does has any connection to fact-based reality, including global warming, health care, “stimulus” spending. the Constitution, education, energy, and world affairs. He is like an idiot child who has been given free-reign in a candy shop. In reality, he is a singularly empty-headed and uninformed man who is lost without his teleprompter. When he goes off teleprompter, such as when he spoke about people not building their own businesses, his stupidity is revealed for all the world to see.

      I agree, if one just listens to each and every one of Obama’s amazing speeches; its heart felt, sincere, and PATRIOTIC. He is our leader, and has needed congress to write and pass bills, so he can sign off on them. President Obama has taken our country from a near Depression, and is leading our country out of the stone age. If only the Republicans cared about our country as much as they do about themselves, we could have passed so many bills that the president inspired to bring greatness back. However, the republicans have only obstructed, so they can stomp their little feet, and say, ‘he did nuttin’ mommy!’. What are they two??? have Republicans had ANY ideas at all besides doing away with health care for poor women, which is now taking place in Texas? Or, privatizing social security? or turning medicare into a voucher program??(Ryan Plan…look it up!!!) Anything else? Oh, yeah….per the full interview of Mit and his wife, poor Seamus the dog “loved it” on top of their station wagon going at highway speeds for 12 hrs at a time up to canada, and then back again???
