Romney to Obama: "Attacking me is not a strategy." PALEEEZE!

[illinoyed]

03:02 PM on 10/26/2012

I thought it was a great strategy. Mitt has used it almost exclusively.

[nobblegoblige]

10:45 PM on 10/25/2012

Any new news on the Romney 2012 election?

[Win4U]

03:19 PM on 10/25/2012

Would anyone be offended if President Obama was called "unpatriotic"?

Would anyone be offended if President Obama was called "irresponsible"?

Who would describe a sitting president by these terms?

Have you guessed?

It was candidate OBAMA in 2008 while on the campaign trail when he said that President Bush was "irresponsible and unpatroitic" for raising the national debt by $4T, to make the total national debt $9T, more than all the previous presidents had spent!

Yet, today President Obama (who still hasn't balanced a budget in three plus years) spent more in just three plus years than President Bush did in EIGHT years and the national debt is over $16,000,000,000,000.00 now!

So, for all those of you who are on the fence trying to decide who is best qualified to be our next president: Gov. Romney with 25+ years of successful executive management OR a state/US Senator (with ZERO executive management experience) with only three years OJT as the president, I'd hope that it is clear to you that Gov. ROMNEY is the SUPERIOR CHOICE!

Oh yes, let's not forget that candidate and President Obama seems to have one standard (very low) of behavior for himself, and one standard (much higher) for his opponent.

If you "accidently" voted for Obama in '08, don't make the same MISTAKE twice in '12!

You'll notice that it is the Former Obama voters going to Gov. Romney, not the former McCain voters going to Obama!

Voting for Gov. Romney in Nov '12!

[nobblegoblige]

10:45 PM on 10/25/2012

I love this! It's so true! Fanned!

[Win4U]

12:13 AM on 10/26/2012

Thanks for your nice comments.

It is fun working with the facts and trying to educate the uneducated or should I say in some cases the ill-educated?

But you know, the one being educated has to want to learn otherwise he only knows the White House talking points :)

[illinoyed]

12:15 AM on 10/26/2012

Keep in mind the majority of Obama's spending was on the stimulus to keep the U.S. from sinking into another GREAT DEPRESSION.

If Obama had allowed that, there's no way we'd be as close to recovery that we are today.

Bush spent all his money just having a fine ole time on the taxpayer dime.

[Win4U]

01:08 AM on 10/26/2012

Only $700B for the Stimulus, right?

And then, why wasn't all the money spent? Where did it go and what was it used on?

This is called a "recovery?" The economy is slowing down each year and certainly nobody will call that good.

What does President Bush have to do with life now that he's out of office. Or, was that a natural Obama fall-back to blame Bush for all of Obama's problems?

[flippyfloppy]

America WAS a big, gaping wound when President Obama took office. It's beginning to heal. Wounds only heal immediately in magic acts, in movies and on TV. For those who are undecided or leaning toward Romney for reasons of not having seen the healing taking place in a flash, stop and think, then give our President a chance to finish what he started. If that doesn't happen, what is now a healing wound will just be opened up again. I call that going backwards, not forward.

[nobblegoblige]

10:46 PM on 10/25/2012

I say Obama has opened a huge divisive gaping wound that needs to be healed with a Moderate like Romney. You are a Ledt winger and your wound is a head wound..thus un healable.

[Saving America]

10:30 AM on 10/26/2012

A moderate like Romney? Compared to what? Michelle Bachmann? Turn off Fox and use your brain.

[klee400]

12:21 PM on 10/25/2012

I am so totally disgusted and terrified of the Republican Party. I think that they have shown their true colors and too many Americans will vote for these backward clowns against their own interests and the future of their children. I am glad that Colin Powell has once again endorsed our President, because I think it speaks volumes about who he thinks can truly represent America's identity in the world. If Obama walked on water, they would say he couldn't swim. I just do not want our country to revert back to the era of racial and sexual discrimination. These feelings always emerge when times are bad and nuts like Rush, Hannity and O'Reilly fan the flames of discontent. If the voter suppression scenario plays out where they ask for identification to vote, I see violence erupting and the election results delays ripping our country apart which in my opinion, will weaken us internally. If this happens, we would not have to worry about the terrorists abroad, because we will have to worry about the ones within. Groups like the KKK and the hate groups never seem to be targets of our anti-terrorist Homeland Security folks. At least this is how it seems. As a woman I am just scared and frustrated.

omg

[Win4U]

03:38 PM on 10/25/2012

You really should be disgusted with the Dems and President Obama!

President Obama is only interested in making your country a THIRD World Country!

Would you be happy with that? You know Greece is BROKE because it spent too much money!

Obama has been "programmed" by his "founding fathers" over the years to be a radical socialist! Do you know who his "founding fathers" are? Do you know ANYTHING about OBAMA's Background?

Do your "way out utopian orientation and missed facts" tell me you are a died in the wool LibDem? When are you going to come back to earth and live in the real world?

Did you know that the KKK started with Democrats? Look it up.

Are you happy that President Obama has FAILED at his important promises? For example, he said he'd cut the national debt by 50%, but OBAMA DID NOT!

In 2008, candidate Obama said that "If you don't have a record to run on you make a big issue about small things!" OBAMA is doing exactly that TODAY!

What do you call a person who acts this way?

We saw in the last debate that President OBAMA acted like a SCHOOL YARD BULLY when he didn't get his way. How childish! OBAMA needs to be FIRED immediately!!

After four years of NOT addressing the important issues of the economy and unemployment, we need a CHANGE! We need a mature and experienced president.

I am voting for Gov. Ronney in Nov '12!

[bestull]

you are right on point. Good for you.

Stop grasping, you're out of straws.

[klee400]

12:12 PM on 10/25/2012

Just totally disgusted with the Republican Party and their racist, sexist and stupid candidates. I do not understand how any woman or man could vote Republican. If President Obama walked on water, they would say Obama can't swim.
I am terrified of a Republican win as a woman, minority and retired teacher.

[illinoyed]

03:11 PM on 10/26/2012

A woman, minority, and teacher? Wow, three strikes, you're out!

As a women you'll have your health care taken from you, as a minority you will be disenfranchised from voting, and as a teacher you will be vilified and your benefits slashed. Oh, and don't forget that you're a retiree as well. That prescription donut hole will reappear and cost you a lot more if the Reps repeal Obamacare.

You'll really be screwed under a Romney presidency.

[marymichaels4]

12:21 AM on 10/25/2012

In light of the new facts on Obama's knowledge of and handling of what is now known to all to have been an organized Islamic Terrorist threat that he was (or should have been) aware of, I would have to think the president's foreign policy qualifications questionable.

[marymichaels4]

FACT!!
OBAMA’S COLLEGE CLASSMATE SPEAKS OUT By Wayne Allyn Root
Barack Hussein Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. Economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos – thereby destroying capitalism and our
country from within.
Barack Hussein Obama was my college classmate.
(Columbia University, class of '83).
He is a devout Muslim; do not be fooled.
Look at his Czars.... Anti-business…anti-American.
As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Barack
Hussien Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven,
two professors at Columbia University ... They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually
they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a
socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that
desperately needs government for survival... And can be counted on to always vote for even bigger government.
Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.
Universal health care!
The health care bill had very little
to do with health care. It had everything to do with
unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as
well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will
join government employee unions).

Obama has LIED about EVERYTHING...but it will not matter to his "mutants".

[I defend my country]

11:51 PM on 10/24/2012

The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.
Raise taxes on small business owners,
high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire
burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama).

Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Barack Obama wants to
dramatically raise taxes to starve his politica lopposition.
With the acts outlined above, Barack
Hussein Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who
work for big government; and a government dedicated to
destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system. Add it up and you’ve got the perfect
Marxist scheme – all devised by my Columbia University
college classmate Barack Hussein Obama using the Cloward and
Piven Plan...
http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/overwhelm.asp

Last point: think about what this designed “rule of the rabble” will do to anyone successful…and everyone receiving this is. What will your lives be like under communism? The time to fight this abomination is now… I hope each of you will forward to at least a dozen people.

I just want to voice my opinion-the only reason I'll vote GOP is because of the tax! I would vote for a Dem who cut taxes like JFK in a heartbeat.
We own our own business work day and night, and many weekends yet we barely get by. We have 3 kids, have to pay for home mortgages and 2 cars. We take no vacation. We get almost no relief or deduction just because we make 300,000. We're struggling too! We pay a big chunk to the government and still they want more. Come Jan 2013 it's gonna be worse for us when the Bush tax cut expired. We even contemplated about getting divorced so our tax bracket would come down and I can get some benefits for the children. It's heartbreaking and so unfair that the gov just want to take more and more from us. We're labeled "the wealthy", "the rich".We are so exhausted and just want to save our hard earned money for our children. I wish a community like in "Atlas Shrugged" really exists...Sigh...

CH ET - It was heart breaking to read your post, I can sympathize with your plight. My husband and I had a successful interior design/furniture retail business in FL for 22 years. We worked very hard, year after year, building a good life. In 2010, we finally had to close it, losing millions of dollars of investment, and now, having to start over at 54, and there are still no jobs. I am thankful that you still have a business. A GOP vote is your only option, as those that have wanted to look at Obama with a critical eye realize that the financial future will be really dim with another 4 years. Romney is a smart business guy, who has the skills to get us back on track financially. Obama, has no tools. Hang in there, praying for so many struggling in our weary but still proud land. I agree, a community like "Atlas Shrugged" looks inviting!

What makes you think you'd be part of an "Atlas Shrugged" community?

You lost your business and are now unemployed. That makes you a taker and a loser, not a maker and a winner.

POTUS won big but when you think of the continual flip-flops by Romney that makes it even more remarkable. Unfortunately people who don't tune in until the debates don't know about the flip-flops and lies. They think Romney looks so reasonable............. makes me sick that people don't realize his complete lack of integrity!

He says whatever he thinks the audience or viewers of the moment want to hear and if it is something his base would object to, his campaign staff walks it back a few hours later. It's like having a headline saying one thing and then the next day on page 4 have a little bitty disclaimor that no one else sees.

Please, please don't be fooled by this charlatan!!!

Funny, to me it looked like "O" was backpedeling and playing catch up through the entire debate process. He's good at insults, mistruths, and interuptions. From what I have seen from the fact checkers all the desputes went the Gov. way. I know you will slander me for speaking the truth, its the Liberal way. If you can't win, cheat, and call names.

I agree! "O" just handed even more points over to Romney with his comment in Rolling Stone calling Romney a BSer. What Romney did in the last debate, sorry libs, was masterful. His classy, controlled, intelligent demeanor was no match for Obama's condescention, arrogance and lies. Our Potty Mouth-in-Chief can kiss the Oval Office bye bye!

And if Republicans can't win, deny deny deny and claim you won.

Agree, he's a chameleon. He'll do whatever it takes. He's the first-grade bully and I feel people who are hitching their wagons to him just want to up their esteem by "associating" with the rich and famous. Money does not a conscience and intelligence make!

Why do ignorant people say anyone who doesn't share the same "opinion" are unreasonable. By definition you are being unreasonable. So does that make you a hypocrite also. I think yes.
