Shutup U american DemoRAT !

No more hot air than we've been listening to from obama for way too long. His pasage into political retirement is a blessing.

I would rather have hot air than BULLSHIT

Pure evil, huh? Please read this, and let me know if you can find stories like this about President Obama: http://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2012/09/25/7_incredible_personal_stories_about_mitt_romney_that_you_may_not_know

wow, evil and a scumbag. Now there's some intelligent analysis! Didn't know the anti-christ was running for president. Wonder if he has 666 tattoed on the back of his neck??

Technically Romney would be America's first non-Christian president so he's closer to the anti-christ than anyone else we've elected.

Scumbag???You must be referring to the current president...If so, your noun is right on...

I used to see Dick Cheney called pure evil too, one of my Republican friends pointed out that it has no actual meaning in the secular world. Of course they both subscribe to the same economic theories (which proved catastrophic failures during the Bush administration) have the same strategists working to get them elected (Karl Rove et al.) and had zero foreign policy experience which also proved disastrous to America. All in all - there are so many more apt ways to describe why Romney is an awful choice for America.

What a ridiculous, uninformed statement!

Yup, sounds like a typical liberal to me.

Name calling? Real intelligent.

Your Horns R showing DemoRAT !

Did Fred below say that Romney is a non-christian? Not that I believe that matters,however; what other information does Fred not know about Romney. Amazing how misinformed some people are and still have an opinion.

. Yes, in answer to your question I did write that. Mormonism and Christianity are pretty distinctly separate religions, the Jesus they talk about is not the 2nd person of the trinity, he also came to visit the native Americans. the God they talk about was a glorified man who physically came to earth and had relations with Mary, etc -- ask any traditional Christian theologian if they think Mormons are really Christian. I also notice that you kids tend to toss around the word "uninformed" a lot and judging from the context of this blog it apparently means anyone who disagrees with you... it does not add weight to your comments, I'm quite informed, we just disagree.. grow up.

creg ah, this is pure evil:

Please don't let Obama sweep Benghazi under the rug...

Lets not forget those four who were left to be slaughtered in Benghazi...

Romney/Ryan 2012

That is defamation......try to say something intelligent.

Judging by your stupid comment, I would bet that he has more character in his pinky toe then you have in your whole body

Shady character? Another ridiculous statement.

Patty remember Perot? Remember the term gridlock? Years of crying about how obama has had to deal with Reps its getting old. He had the Congress for two years!

Patty...........Shady? Really???? He does not hide around a cloak of secrecy like obama.

Historically speaking, his race is the only thing of "value" given the world's previous injustices against blacks. Other than that, he lacks any substance or meaningful qualifying experience for the job. He's simply a post-American, socialistic, ideologue who sees America as a colonial power and the source of the world's problems. It's time for him to go, maybe run an equally meaningless and anti-American organization, like the United Nations.

R U serious ? After 4 terrible years !

BAG..short for D bag!

Even if Romney loses, how is it a waste of time to visit the great state of PA? Obama takes you for granted, and always has... Always will too, if reelected... Don't put up with it anymore...

Tommybella - Go to Mitt's Website...

While sad and true, your evidence is purely anecdotal. I pay $24,000/yr. for my health insurance coverage (cancer and diabetes) and I still think putting the federal government in charge of health care will make it worse.

We are headed in the wrong direction. Instead of overhauling the entire system for the supposed benefit of a few, and adding additional layers of bureaucracy, risk pools for those with pre-existing conditions should have been mandated and possibly subsidized.

Healthy individuals would rely on health savings accounts, funded by the same dollars currently spent by their employers, to negotiate their own regular doctors visits. Leaving catastrophic insurance to pay for those unexpected life changing events like cancer.

Real reform means breaking away from the FDR policies of yesteryear, not more mandates by an ever growing federal government.

I wish your friend the best, but I doubt the mandated system as currently written will last much longer. In the long run, "the folks" D.C. claims to care about will be left out in the cold.

Agreed - the spectre of another out of touch billionaire governer in the Whitehouse who has no grasp of what most of us deal with everyday scares me more than Hurricane Sandy.

@Safe in Doylestown Romney may be wealthy, but don't hold that against him. Who do you think started this country anyway.....

Can you elaborate on this part of your comment "one of our Council Rock School Board Members wants to 'carry' while others he was elected to serve try to have a voice - called freedom of speech"?

CB - "elaborate" - Read the articles in the Courier Times and the Advance (the Patch's did not include the whole story in my opinion sorry to say). Better yet - watch the last 3 Council Rock School District School Board meetings on their web site. It all goes back to an incident in August but the reality is it goes back years without the public knowing. I went last night and spoke passionately about how they were elected and took an oath to represent we the parents and all the taxpayers. The process of those meeting should be we first. The idea that we are wasting so much time and money on this due to those that carry waning to preserve their rights - while ignoring at a public governing meeting all of our rights as residents, parents, and taxpayers to have a voice and use our freedom of speech without fear of retribution from someone elected to serve. To me our voice should be the strongest thing at any governing meeting but too often the elected feel they are in charge to use their greater will for all of us and that their meetings are the board doing board business. Again - watch the last 3 CR school board meetings as the media coverage has been controlled and limited and scattered. Be patient while watching as there is MUCH tap dancing - until Robert Donnelly at the last meeting spoke the truth.
BTW: 95% of local reps find this "intimidating" and "stupid" with only one stating "no big deal - let's move on".

The editor corrected article I found on buckslocalnews.com mentions three simple facts.

1. Grupp is a lawful gun owner.
2. The district attorney determined he had broken no laws when he indadvertedly exposed his licensed firearm during a walk-thru inspection, a non-school event.
3. Grupp never made any threats to anyone.

It seems to me that you and your fellow board members have a personal vendetta against Grupp and are using this as an excuse to infringe on his constitutionally protected rights.

You would be surprised at the number of people in our county who hold similar licenses, are well trained, and exercise that right daily.

Do you realize that a criminal would not hesitate to enter your board meeting, place of worship or your home without regard for any rules? Those are the people who you need to worry about.

Whomever you are CB, let's get some things straight.
I don't give a damn about Grupp being a lawful gun owner - his right.
"Grupp never made any threats to anyone". Really. How about all the disrespect and anger be has displayed over the years towards some of us. Was I a threat? Did HE feel threaten? What about our safety when I and others have been called "worthy advisories"?
What I am talking about has NOTHING to do with what the DA did or whatever happened at Holland.
It's disgusting that you would claim "you and your fellow board members have a personal vendetta against Grupp". That is complete BS and is totally disrespectful.
Are you the protect Jerry Grupp fan club?
Do you believe guns rights mean more then free speech?
We are are talking about a public governing meeting.
They all were elected and took an oath to serve and represent.
What does he need to carry in that role for?
On this crap of infringing on his constitutionally protected rights - what about MY constitutionally protected rights of free speech without fear of someone in the room I am arguing with carrying?
What I am talking about is wanting to use voice in OUR government without fear.
FACT: If someone needs protection at OUR government's board meetings, hire a cop with no skin in the game.
You love guns. I HATE them. So don't tell me who I need to worry about. Let's tell Lennon not to worry about Chapman while giving him an autograph.
Respectfully I disagree with your tone and assumptions.

As usual, it's very difficult to have a normal conversation with intransigents.

I am sure the authorities would take action if you and your cohorts had valid complaints against Grupp. So far all you have are insults and off-topic remarks. Do you ever stop to think how people perceive you?

Who am I? A concerned citizen from central Bucks. Co. that's had enough of your nonsense. Don't forget to vote next Wednesday.

I LOVE YOUR ATTITUDE CB. Insult those you disagree with. FANTASTIC.
What is your definition of a "normal conversation"?
One you control and say what is what is not? I think so.
So I am a "intransigents". LOVE it.
So thoughtful and full of respect for all Americans.
And again you show your absolute REFUSAL to listen while you assume you have ALL the answers with your "authorities" rants while you THINK this is against your friend and cohort Grupp - totally ignoring this is all about my right to voice and others concern for children's public and other board members safety. That's right - you think we're all in this together against Grupp or guns or some foolishness like that. Love the way you do that twist and spin.
"insults and off-topic remarks" - look in the mirror bud - or better yet read your entries. If I may - this is American and I should not have to care how "people perceive" me as I am suppose to be as free as you.
Thanks you SO much Mr. CB concerned citizen from Central Bucks. I too have had enough of your nonsense and auto defense of the gun while ignoring those you disagree with. I just HAD to respond to this respectful and understanding entry.
Do you REALLY think I am not going to vote for our President
who I believe GET IT while so many other don't?
See you on the flip side ...

Hey Le, why are U on this, just to disagree with everyone ?
Nobody likes Nobama and no one likes U either !

The VOICE returns with that American spirt of unity and justice for all by stating the divisive fact that NO ONE agrees with me (might want to read through the blog again there VOICE) and with more absolutist comments from on hight that NOBODY likes Obama (might want to read the blog again and VOICE - you might wants to check the polls again as no matter which way they top it's 50 / 50 and not 99 / 1) and NOBODY like me. Ah yes the VOICE is king as long as he gets the 51% and screw the 49% right? How wrong you are in accordance to what America is, what democracy is, what freedom is, and what facts are. You go boy. Give me hell once again. Prove to me how far we've come away from our forefather's creation of ONE nation - indivisible ... Thanks for the respect and taking the time to come after me. It means YOU like me.

A sign of desparation is correct, but you have the wrong candidate. The President had this state in the win column without breaking a sweat. Most polls had him leading with near or above double digit. That lead has shrunk considerbably and now the state is in play. I know that shocks the hell out of Dems/Libs, but thats the reality. And 4 yrs ago everyone knew the president was going to win, This time around, there are no assurances. Every poll I have seen has the race in a dead heat.

Maybe Romney can pick up the thousands of Republican election signs that blew all over the landscape during the storm. : ) I'm amused by the huge one at the corner of 413 and 202, it seems that Republicans are overcompensating for a lack of new ideas by making bigger signs.

I personally appreciate the fact that a presidential candidate is coming to our region. It is a great time to be able to show my kids democracy in progress. Has everyone become so much more concerned of their own personal views that they have forgotten how important this is for our children? We live in a country where we are allowed to have our own vote! I am taking my kids regardless of republican or democrat. Way to go Bucks County! Let's show our grace to the world.

Hey Le, temperature will not be in Nobamas favor on Election day !

Wow, where did you get that info? Wait, your getting it from the ny times?? The offical paper of the Democartic Party? Suprised you didn't quote msnbc or moveon.org. Now those are organizations who give the truth! Oh wait....

Let's quote the NYT, liberal manifesto and the Communist voice of reason. We know where your heart is....

Have you ever heard of the Labor Force Participation Rate? Take a look and tell me if the unemployment number makes sense now? http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS11300000

Yeah ... Wonderful ... 3% of seasonal employment that will dissolve in mid-January.

Then again, Seasonal Employment is probably the best "plan" the Obama Administration has come up with in almost four years!

And uh, wasn't the previous Jobs Report at 7.8%?!? We back-tracking already???

Oops ..., That should have read " ... 0.3% of seasonal employment ... ".

Depression around the corner.....mark your calendar!

Blaming "O" for unemployment record shows a real lack of understanding on how our government process works. What about the House of obstructionists and the Senate of do nothings. I know you and others disrespect the President calling him a socialist and a king - but he is neither. Our government as our country needs to work together and no one man (not one of the many Mitts or Obama) can turn this all around by himself - and therefore no ONE man can take all the credit nor blame.
As for these so called REAL numbers - I already spoke on how that is FOX Republican fact and is not the facts of others - we no longer have facts and truth as all we have are spun facts and opinionated truths (we have as many versions of facts and truth as t=we have Mitts).
And if you want to speak of "lying" - feel free to check the records on Mitt ever changing positions and self since the primaries - since he was governor. Please. He's right - he does believe in change - of self.
Newtown Township Super likes to tell people their opinions are wrong which is the worse offense of a free socierty - so you can believe wat you want and vote for who you want - but please don't assume your spin is the absolute truth and fact,
Next time your watching Sean Hannity, flip to MSNBC to see the AME story being reported completely differently - pick your facts.
Enjoy the party on Sunday.
Hope he flies over ... http://www.TrueToAll.com/obama2012.jpg

NO, Le Sheppard ... The Jobs situation and the Economic morass we're in points very accurately at the Lack of Leadership portrayed by President Obama.

With two years of dominance in Washington, D.C., at a time when America needs JOBS, the President and his Capitol "muscle" - Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi - decided that Healthcare was a BIGGER PRIORITY than putting AMericans back to work or getting the Economy back on track.

We're all paying for that short-sighted exercise in Political Hubris still, and will be for years if a Change isn't made this January!

931 Stony Hill Road, Yardley. Thanks for asking, I need to add that to the story.

NO, Mike Shortall ... It is spin to blame ONE man for the economic mess that DOES include where we started as so many want to take that off the table and whatever else you want to pile onto a President.

2 years 4 years whatever - President Obama worked FOR jobs and you can bring up all the names you want for blame sake and all the partisan claims you want to spin - but to claim OUR President did nothing is wrong. PLUS being a President is not all about ONE issue - it's many issues including representing all and respecting everyone's freedoms and equality. All the "Cut Without Care" politicians and policies as seen in 2010 and presented by the other Romneys and Ryans serve the few and not the many. America is a melting pot of many and not this simple business like profit and loss statement for the few. The Mitts claim he will create these 12 mil jobs that either Preisdent WILL create so that spin is lame. The Mitts claim he is a business man which is fine BUT America is a country - not a business and WE serve so much more then this bottom line ALONE as we have to think of it all and not be a country built on greed and power for the haves while screwing the hell out of the have nots.

We're all paying for the partied divisiveness that is like a cancer in our country seen on these blogs and in the House and in Harrisburg and just about everywhere else. I see the years to come far different from you as I still believe in a United States of America no matter who is elected.

@Le Sheppard ... My point is that - regardless of how we got into this mess - The President decided to pursue healthcare reform that did NOTHING to reduce the cost of healthcare, instead of pushing hard on Economic issues and Job Creation! And since then, he has done little or nothing else to get us and the Economy out of the slump.

Zero Economic Leadership ... Zero Jobs Effort ... all for the glory of healthcare reform.

BTW ... Your plaintive pleas for a end to divisiveness would sound much more sincere if you yourself weren't so one-sided. The impression I get is ... "Let's end divisiveness by ending all objection to the Obama Presidency."

Spare me the duality.

from Le Sheppard @ Shortall ...
Your opinions, absolutist statements, and not agreed upon facts. No? Why then are the polls all 50 / 50 - I know, cause Dem Libs are all idiots compared to we brilliant Rs and so on (I get the drift from this and other blogs)
"that did NOTHING to reduce the cost of healthcare"
I respectfully disagree as do many
"instead of pushing hard on economic issues"
I respectfully disagree as do many
"he has done little or nothing else to get us and the economy out of the slump"
I respectfully disagree as do many.
"Zero Economic Leadership" - disagree
"Zero Jobs Effort" - disagree
"all for the glory of healthcare reform" - Massive simplification
"Your plaintive pleas" - disagree as seen on this page. You seem to demand everyone agree with YOU and THAT is being ONE nation and unified - agreeing with OUR side..
"Let's end divisiveness by ending all objection to the Obama Presidency" - NEVER what I said. This shows your lack of being able to hear and listen those that MAY and do disagree with you. PLEASe don't misquote me while trying to disrespect my voice and my choice.
Vote for yours and I'll mine and we'll meet on the flip side.
"Spare me the duality" - there's that spirit of unity and respect ... bless ya!

Interesting sir how you admonish me for using the term Dems/Libs which i believe is called an abbreviation, but you don't make comments on the person who referred to Romney as a 'scumbag' Selective outrage. And where in heavens name does saying that mean I;m 'disrespectful' for a right to voice their opinion? This message board is proof that people have the right to disagree. I didn't invent poll numbers. But the fact that Romney is coming here shows that he thinks he has a chance in Pa. He wouldn't waste his time otherwise. It would make about as much sense as the president going to Utah or S. Carolina or Romney going to Calf. or Mass. I'll sign myself Con/Rep. Want to be equal and not show respect. Good grief.

http://www.eventbrite.com/event/4752379495?ref=ebtn

Ticket are free but you must sign up if you want to see Mitt Sunday.

Explain how Mitt Romney is going to "bring us together"?
What polices have all the Mitts changed and rechanged that show you he can bring us all together? Maybe the obstructionists House would not be obstructionist and so you could SPIN that into "bringing us all together". But what in his social beliefs show you he is understanding and representing the 100%? FACT IS it's not Obama or Romney that will bring America together - it's America ending this divide and disrespect that will truly bring us back tohert - not Mitt or any ONE else. WE need to stop this harefuk civil war of partied divide and come tother as ONE nation.
We ARE the greatest nation on earth thank you very much. SO you are saying the last four years have been dishonest, not hard working, uncaring, and totally not God loving ... how pathetic of a statement. Excuse but does God Bless President Obama now and if he wins?
I know you may not care - but it's safe to say that about half of America and half of OUR Pennsylvania think our President and the last 4 years have been honest, hard working, caring, and know that our President is a Christian but who understand America stands for freedom for all and equality for all and not just the some. Also Pennsylvania also loves President Obama.
VOTE.

@Ed
We were the greatest nation, and we are falling like Rome.....Thanks to our political system. Both parties are disgraceful, but at least Romney can offer us an alternative.

Here are some replies to your inaccurate reading of my reply:

1. You didn't read my reply, see 2nd paragraph.
2. You didn't read my reply, see 2nd paragraph.
3. The benevolent federal government is in fact running the industry when it creates regulations to dictate who, how and when they see patients. You can call it the indirect hand of god.

You obviously have done zero research to understand how insurance risk pools work. Do that and I'll be more than happy to entertain your insightful commentary.

Here is a bit of homework. Try filing an auto insurance claim for your tires, oil changes and normal wear-and-tear items so you grasp the concept of health savings combined with a catastrophic insurance policy.

PD - Wish we could talk as Americans and not as Dems and Repubs.
Sorry to disagree but the polls I see being reported have Obama in PA ahead by 2 to 4 points - way too close to call, the numbers all depends on who/what you are watching or listening to, and certainly it is way too close for ANYONE to say who "the next President" will be.
Enjoy the Mitts party.
VOTE. For me http://www.TrueToAll.com/obama2012.jpg

Again, Le Sheppard's all about "talking as Americans and not Dems and Repubs" so long as we all agree to vote for Obama. Please stop insulting our intelligence.

THAT is NOT what I said Shortfall.
I am NOT telling you how to vote.
Am I allow in your world to say what I think?
I think not.
Are the only intelligent folks those that agree with you?
Stop insulting me Shortfall.
Stop putting words in mu=y mouth and read and listen.
YOU vote for whomever - I - I said I am voting for the President.
Games Mike - you are playing games.

Al, short and sweet: Obamacare robs $817 billion from Medicare. It hasn't even kicked in yet and already 50% of physicians are refusing to accept Medicare patients any longer. It also adds a 3% surtax to small biz owners (the middle class) and is preventing job creation. It is in fact a full government takeover pushed through when Obama and the Dems had their 2-year run of full control and they pushed it through without even reading what was contained therein. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV-05TLiiLU

Talk about bi-partisan results, not one Republican in govenment supported it. And to your dream of covering 30 million - 30 million are still not covered. A complete ill-conceived failure. Arguably Team Obama's biggest failure. Pushing through the grandest entitlement program this country has ever seen, because they could.

Dems love to say Mitt Romney did the same thing in Mass. Lie. As governor of Mass, Mitt Romney got all of his citizens covered with health insurance without raising taxes and without a total government takeover. That is because Mitt Romney thinks outside the box.

While Team Obama and the Democrat Congress clings to obsolete failed methods.

Do you seriously believe Romney is going to come in and disolve our social safety net? You can't seriously believe that?

So stop the scare-tactics and read up on health savings accounts and catastrophic medical insurance. After all, it is up you to protect your family, then your extended family, then your church and finally the government. It's the American way, well at least it was until progressives came in with their failed ideology and paternalistic view of the citizenry.

The concept of the state spending money to take care of people instead of just letting us fall through the cracks seems to be at the heart of this little chat -- of course we'd all like to be employed and insured by a prosperous company, but the "safety net" used to be a system of pensions and healthcare plans designed to usher us all into our golden years, but then companies started looking for ways to increase profitability by reducing benefits, removing pensions altogether and outsourcing work to countries where the whole concept of a workforce who expects to be supported by their government is not a factor. So our "safety net" has shrunken considerably. I was laid off in 2010 and if my wife wasn't working we could have lost our home / insurance. When you're out of work, insurance is expensive and if you don't have a "church and family" with the resources to support you, and your kids get sick it tends to change your tune from all of this "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" bullsh*t. We should be able to expect help from the government that has been collecting our tax dollars all of our working lives. Obama's policies put people before profits. Romney has made his money shipping jobs overseas, reducing the liabilities (specifically, people) that cost wealthy business owners money and never looking back -- do you really think any of that would change if he became the most powerful man in America? Bush and Cheney were tools of the wealthy and look what happened.

1. Romney's comments were on the futility of trying to convince those, who already have their minds made up to vote for President Obama, to vote for him. Not about caring about their welfare. Typical Liberal misdirection ...
2. Romney's much more moderate on those social issues. He was playing to his base, just as President Obama did when he "evolved" his position on gay marriage after three-plus years in office.
3. Bain Capital created many more jobs than were ever shipped overseas.
5. A "managed bankruptcy" would have allowed the automakers to STAY IN BUSINESS as their debt and organization was RESTRUCTURED. As what happened to Texaco (1980s), Conseco (2002), American Airlines (2011).
6. No flip flop on healthcare. Massachusetts was a State-based program, perfectly suitable for anyone who believes in smaller Federal Government. The State level is exactly where these initiatives belong! Romney - in fact - demonstrated his BIPARTISAN abilities with Massachusetts' successful program.
7. And The President's plan??? He didn't want to detail it for ANYBODY, including the People of Iowa, while trying to land a Des Moines Register endorsement. He finally relented with a plan that has NOTHING NEW in it, when the push-back became a political liability.

what is the failure rate of the private equity investments Obama invests in....

8. WHat happened to all the JObs we've needed in the PAST 4 years???
9. I almost answered this as if it's a serious expectation. Why would Mitt Romney even associate himself with either??? He never condoned either position!
10. So I guess Romney's approach to healthcare in Massachussets actually worked, eh?
11. Nice what you can do with OPM (Other People's MOney). Maybe you can fill us in on how much HAS NOT been repaid!
12. Let's look at how Democrats help to bring on the Mortgage Crises, shall we? Everyone should take a look at Barney Frank, Pelosi & Reid's role in creating that crisis. As for Mitt Romney's approach ... It will be JOBS JOBS JOBS, which will improve EVERYONE's quality of life across all economic classes. The President's approach??? Let us know when you find it!

Roe v Wade challenge is REAL ---Justice Roberts does NOT decide which issues are before the Court--Understanding how issues get to the Supreme Court and the power of Supreme Court jurists...a minorioty can bring an issue to the Supreme Court, and with a 5-4 vote on the latest issue, one judge makes a difference...a difference both Ryan & Romney say they want.

Come on Ken you lose all the financial debates and you go back to the bullpen for the gold ol roe v wade bs? HAHAHAHAHHAHAhhAHAHA

Yeah women are gonna fall for that. Let me see, I am a woman and I am unemployed paying too much for gas,food and groceries and Obama has increased my personal debt by 100% and the future of the country is in doubt with bankruptcy and foreclosures, I wonder which lever should I pull.....??????

Never said he was infalliable, but he has done a good job getting out of the worst economic crisis since the last republican created great recession, ... I do not agree with anyone on all positions, but his heart, soul and effort have always remained on a steady course for whats best for US---the entire US---100%

I am a man, but I respect for what he has done to advocate and will do for women.

I use oil heat, but I respect what he has done to develop green energy.

I paid my own way through school, but I respect his commitment to provide opportunities for those who need help now, so that can help up US in the future.

Great Points. Hope your voting for Romney.

32 months of economic growth

Detroits best Numbers in 5 years

Independent Bloomburg backs Obama

Republican Christi praises Obama's crisis handling

The increase in Healthcare costs have decreased because of Obamacare--remember it was private for a 100 years and it didn't work-the great experiment should be over

Not a perfect for 4 years...but when Bush left this country in the worst economic situation since the Great Depression (also a republican economic situation), its takes time to do it right for the long-term...yet this is what we have, Moody's says current course will lead to 12 Million new jobs ...Romney is only promising to do what independent economists say Obama is going to be able to achieve, with alot more risk...because he is offering MORE of the SAME that got U.S. into the economic crisis.

Obama simple--well developed foundation for economic growth, fairness to all, and investing in the future opportunities through ehalth, education, green opportunities.

This rationale forgets that:
1. one President commits the future Presidents hands, especially in the first couple years...when Bush commits to a trillion dollar expense, but only pays a billion on his watch--its still Bushes debt, then Obama had to deal with;
2. when one President (Bush) decides to use teh surplus Clinton developed to plan for a rainy day (recession) to give tax breaks to to the top 1%, he eliminated an economic recovery tool

As far as guns, its the republicans who are taking guns and displaying them as they visit possible democrats in Ohio....Scare tactics.. because their policies do not add up. As Wendy's commerical so aptly said--Romney wheres the beef
---where the Beef in your economic plan
--wheres the beef with how Obama handles foreign policy--contrary to 2011/2011 pre-dabate--his debate position --- I agree with the president
--wheres the beef on where you actually stand--republicans almost elimianted your candidacy because of your flip-flopping until he became so rightest, they couldn't resist, then he chnages his spots and now claims he is a moderate..

That's what it always comes down to when they try to explain President Obama's poor Leadership and lack of progress on the Economy:

"It's Bush's fault."
"We need four more years (of the same Zero Leadership)."
"Look at how good Detroit's doing (with YOUR tax dollars!)"

Here's a look at the latest Unemployment numbers:
The unemployment rate has risen by 0.1%-points since September
• The unemployment rate for men remained stationary at 8% in October
• Rates for other groups are:
Women, 7.7%
Teenagers, 23.7%
White, 7%
Black, 14.3%
Hispanic, 10%
Asian, 4.8%*

Total 12.3 million out of work!

As an Independent I agree and will vote with the lesser of two evils. I am only sorry Mitt didn't run on another ticket so he could clearly outline his positions without alienating the far right.

Nice left-winged website..Great reference Mar. You should be on TV using stats like that.

HAHAHAHAHAhaH obama is great flip flopper.

Remember when debt was BAD very bad...now it's GREATTTTTTTTTT!!!

You admit you want to discriminate tax cuts? I thought discrimination was illegal!! tax cuts should be same for all.

Candidate Obama: "The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents – #43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back - $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That's irresponsible. It's unpatriotic." (July 3, 2008)

Hous bin farteen, Obama doesn't flip flop...he "evolves" that's what the liberals call it LOL! ROMNEY 2012!!!!!

Since obama never held a real job flip flopping is his career.

trust matters. Obama let Americans die on 911 while he was in Vegas with rich donors celebrating.

Sure ... Then we can talk about ...

* A national debt that has increased from $10 trillion to $16 trillion in just four years
* A $700 billion reduction in Medicare benefits to fund a healthcare overhaul that didn't overhaul the costs of healthcare.
* 43 straight months of 8+% unemployment
* Failure to anticipate a deadly terrorist attack in Libya, an unstable country with active Al-Queda presence on the anniversary of 9-11
* Politically-driven refusal to endorse gay marriage, a universally-accepted Liberal position, until "outed" by his own Vice President

Mike, according to Obama's 2012 budget submission which congress has not passed but is using continuing resolutions from 2010 on, it shows a troubling sign.

According to Obama's 2012 budget, medicare spending for 2012 = $478 Billon and Medicaid spending = $255 Billion for $733 Billion total.
Medicare taxes collected equal $226 Billion.
That leaves a 2012 budget shortfall for these 2 programs of $500+ Billion

Why are any of these guys whether it be Casey or Obama or Ryan or whomever spending $500 B a year more than is available. This is insane.

I have seen stories about Sandy costs of $20 Billion and that pales in comparison to Medicares losses

Am I missing something?

Ok funny guy, we can follow without the snarky tone. Anyone with google can look up and see that congress appropriates money not the President so in this regard, Obama is still responsible for today's spending and debts from the time he was a US Senator. It's just not factually correct to blame the spending on the President who can only submit a budget. Congress makes it happen. Sorry I know that destroys the false narrative of the left.

Detroit has 20% unemployment and is one of the most unsafe cities in the world. Are you suggesting that is good?

National unemployment 8%
Cleveland unemployment 9.4.%
Detroit unemployment 19.6%
Camden unemployment 18.8%
Chicago 10.3%
LA 12.3%
Philadelphia 11.5%

I thought you said Democrat policies helped

That's an inane statement, and shows how you can't present a logical argument. From the depth of an extraordinary recession until now? Come on.......
I want to know if you are going to be just as outspoken when Obama leads us into depression with his reckless spending.

Obama is going to be there also?

Are you kidding me? The name calling from the republicans? Let's see, someone 'on the left' called Romney a "scumbag". A few postings above someone named "decided" called Romney 'characterless and self serving'.Another person called Romney 'pure evil'. So stop with the only republicans resort to name calling. Talk about self serving, like the left is this great mass of civility.

Are you on disability? Serious mental issues?

Not very postive there thinker and of course a bunch of what joe biden would call "malarkey"

If you don’t have any fresh ideas, then you use stale tactics to scare the voters. If you don’t have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from. You make a big election about small things.” – Barack Obama

I don't know which is funnier. Your "Positive Thinker" description or the "women's rights down the creek."
Despiration really brings out the best in libs.

Please tell me you are not old enough to vote yet.

uh ... Because they believe in SMALLER Government, not NO government.

Geez ...

Government unemployment = 4.2%

National unemployment = 8%

Is any surprise that Democrats love more government because it pays more, has better pensions and nearly free healthcare? Look at our local governments. They make as much as the rest of us and get free pensions on our backs while we suffer. Obama has a taxpayer funded pension!!! Think about that....he didn't build that. He benefits from the policies he wants. Conflict of interest.

How is education free? Don't we pay property taxes high ones at that for it?

Go ahead and reduce the defense budget. where will those jobs and people affected go to work? Why didn't Obama and Reid and Pelosi do it if they think it's the right answer? You gonna call them out on not doing anything they said they would

You are a classic gimmee person. Nothing is free. in fact, when your country irresponsibly and unpatrioticly borrows $20 trillion dollars to supposedly give out free goods and services, nothing could be further from the truth. We are living on borrowed time as much as borrowed money. The bills have come do. time to Live within our means!!! If you can't afford something don't spend the money. It's not my job to pay for you. it's my job to pay for my family. If i have some leftover, I will help someone else. Problem these days is there is not enough for me let alone to help you.

None of those are free, Decided but uninformed. And if you want to spend some time being productive, address the issue of Political Health Care and why they do not fall under Obamacare.

Ken can you explain how healthcare make people healthier??? Exercise and diet do and they don't cost me anything else. I can do it all by myself if I choose.

Who would pay for the middle class tax cuts you speak of? What are they exactly? Are you saying lower the rates below where they are today or is your idea of a cut leaving the current rates in place?

Why does MSNBC pay female anchors less than male anchors? Is that government's job? Why do NBA players make more than WNBA players? Same job right?

I agree with you about voting and being respectful. Thanks

If only Obama felt the same way and would stop being such a whiny, petulant fake President.

If you don’t have any fresh ideas, then you use stale tactics to scare the voters. If you don’t have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from. You make a big election about small things.” – Barack Obama

I agree, but look in the mirror. You are so blinded by your party affiliation that you can't see what is happening around you. DO YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE THE ECONOMY IS GETTING BETTER?

Please show some stats. It is not true. the total compensation packages of public employees is far higher. Salary + pensions + healthcare = Pay!! What do you think the avg comp package for a public employee in Northampton is versus avg pay of the public there?

And please don't compare professionals that control how much they earn by how much they produce. There are lots of deadbeat lawyers and Democrat lobbyists at the top making millions. Lawyers are Democrats bread and butter base.

Liberal hollywood stars and sports stars make 10-20 million a year! Leno and Letterman make $15 million plus. Lots of people make lots of money. They also happen to pay most of the taxes

BTW according to IRS data, making over $66k a year puts you in top 25% of all people....and that top 25% pays 87% of all federal income tax.

They almost all retire as millionaires Ken, don't kid yourself. The system is broken, and needs to be fixed. Obama is decidedly not the answer.

How ill education be free? We pay taxes to pay for the schools, teacher salaries and benefits. How will government get money so that schools can be "free"? Magic unicorn? How do you think things WORK??

Why won't he release his records if he is so smart?
