Can you feel the political heat turning up? Don't look now, but it's about to get ugly. With the election just around the corner, the gloves are about to come off, if they haven't already been thrown down. As people begin to make their political picks for the November race, it's important to take a moment and stop and think about what the country would actually look like under Mitt Romney's leadership. Once you put things into perspective by doing that, the choice becomes pretty clear on who to mark the ballot for come November!
If we could look into a crystal ball and see the future with Romney as President, we would see that we would be headed in the wrong direction. There are several important issues that stand out as being especially bothersome, such as his stance on healthcare. As President Obama makes strides to try and bring more healthcare to a much-needed population, Romney has already stated that he will repeal those efforts. So we will be back to square one, with millions of uninsured Americans, and millions more unable to afford their monthly premiums.
The crystal ball would also reveal that we will revert back to a time of having no transparency, because as we have learned with his tax records, he has a tendency to avoid being forthcoming with information. We also won't really know what wet get if the country has Romney for President. He has a record of flip-flopping on particular issues, such as abortion, being for and against it, when he feels his stance will benefit him the most. Under Romney leadership, we can pretty much take for granted that the environment will take a hit, and we will begin to look off our beautiful shores and see the rigs of multiple off-shore drilling sites.
As a country that seems to want to progress, it can almost be assured that it will be held back under a Romney leadership. This is evident in his stance on being against gay marriage, vetoing embryonic stem cell research advancement, and well, not fully supporting green job initiatives. Besides all of this, the one thing that Americans should fear under his leadership is where the jobs will go. Romney has a history of outsourcing and off-shoring of jobs, essentially putting millions of Americans out of work. He also has a history of using the money he earns to invest in companies that are not in this country.
Under the leadership of Romney, we can expect that the rich will get richer, as they will receive large tax cuts, and the average American will suffer. They will pay the price for the decisions he makes of sending jobs overseas, not furthering green job initiatives, and not seeing to it that the people have what they need - healthcare. We can feel confident in the idea that his sites will be set more on protecting traditional marriage and gun owner rights than it will on protecting American jobs and the health of the people who make up this great nation.
We have come to a near critical period in the year when people will have to avoid the multi-million dollar campaign attack ads and rely upon common sense. Common sense tells us that Romney is not the right choice to lead this nation in to the next four years. He will turn back and prevent the further progress that has been made, as well as impose additional pitfalls that another future President will be faced with having to try and navigate.
As you go to the polls this November, ask yourself if you want the rich to get tax cuts and possibly the average people to lose their jobs all together. Ask yourself if you think that the country needs to advance, rather than turn our backs on important issues that face us, as well as the next generation. When you ask yourself those questions and give yourself honest answers, there's really only one way to pull that lever that makes sense.

A Romney Presidency is the end of America.......plus remember Adelson wants war on Iran.
Mayor Booker received a multi million dollar grant for his education system in Newark. The Mayor, in his talk on education and urban amerkkka, spoke about the sedimentary agitation. He defined this as happening when people sit on their couches watching social issues on their news stations, while doing nothing. I personally refuse to be plagued with this syndrome.
It is no secret that in the impoverished cities there are multiple levels are marginalization and poverty repercussions. These repercussions impact the disadvantaged communities immensely In a locale that is stressed by developmental problems, population congestion, housing shortages, infrastructure inadequacies and transportation hassles, it seems that education has unfortunately been left in the hands of those privileged enough to provide their children with opportunity. Get real the Gov is at the head and tail of the miseducation of the Afrikan
If one says color then i ask which color and if u say politics i ask GOVERNMENT?
Denial of facts is not in Egypt rather on capital hill This is personal for me because it takes a village to raise a child
And i could care less about scalawags and carpetbaggers(dems and repubs) Its the entire Gov
Before Fidel Cuba had had its share of Mafioso, ie born Majer Suchowlinski ( Meyer Lansky) lucky Luciano, Bugsy Siegel , Santo Traficante and low down Cuban traitor Rolando Masferrer Rojas
Masferrer was a Cuban guerrilla leader, lawyer, congressman, newspaper publisher, andbmember of the Cuban Communist Party A lowlife traitor who met his maker on the streets of Miami in 1974 or 5
I pick him out because of the relationship he had with my grandmother who was a dancer at the Tropicana in its heyday.
The stories she shared with me pre revolution would become the catalyst for my career choice yrs later and which i have kept in the diary she gave me before her death..
So bottom line the mafia kidnapped transported and pimped women from Nevada to NY from NY to Fla with impunity..and it is my belief that this will happen again
Why do your think trafficking is so prevalent in the bottom? (Fla)
Thousands of Afrikans will be kidnapped, sold and forced into labor camps or chain gangs.Coal mines would be reopened in Alabama ,West va along with lumber camps, brickyards defunct railroads quarries and plantations. Hundreds more will simply be seized by Southern and Northern landowners and compelled into virtual involuntary servitude. My take
Whoa to the Afrikan woman and her baby. As we know and which some with fake hair and weaves try to deny..those who choose to live as a slave or concubine will be suffer a worse fate, and whether anyone here likes my decision to say this or not , before the slave master releases them they will wish they were dead.
There is a trade called sexual slavery and again whether anyone here agrees or not this is what i can attest as a way of life to in my home country Cuba, during the early part of the 20th century until Fidel
To be continued
Show me ONE example where Democrats have turned a black inner city around with their BS governmental programs.. JUST ONE.
Newark..Poverty remains a consistent problem in Newark, despite its revitalization in recent years. As of 2010, roughly one-third of the city's population is impoverished. The city lost about 130,000 residents between 1960 and 1990. The city's formerly most populous ethnic group, White,[53] declined from 82.8% in 1950 to 26.3% by 2010.[54]
The only place in Newark that is getting better is because of the demolition of Democratic Pushed Public HOUSING.
Newark has been marred with episodes of political corruption throughout the years. Five of the last seven Mayors of Newark have been indicted on criminal charges, including the last three Mayors
Time magazine ranked Newark "The Most Dangerous City in the Nation.
The city's public schools are among the lowest-performing in the state, leading to a take over by the state government in 1995 with the intention of improvement. The school district continues to struggle with low high school graduation rates and low standardized testscores
People love NEWARK SOO much that they are leaving in droves..

Not all of us are "lost and sold out" (sung to the song by the Whispers)
I wish there was a way you and I could talk off line. I want to start a black mathematical after school program that would eventually lead to becoming an engineer.
please reach out to me, if you would like to have a discussion.. I will figure out a way for us to chat..
Here is two different takes on the economy. They both are basically saying the same thing. The first is Peter Schiff and the second is Louis Farrakhan. Don't be scared to listen, it will not hurt.
Why are they a moral issue? If you raise tax rates on the wealthy, they will still be able to 1)Live where they live 2) Eat what they eat 3) Drive what they drive 4) Vacation where they vacation 5) Maintain their lifestyle. Conversely, if you don't raise their rates, or as Romney proposes, give them a huge tax break, that reduction in revenues will simply mean additional layoffs, whose impact on that middle class worker/family may certainly mean they can no longer 1) Live where they live (eviction, foreclosure, homelessness) 2)Eat what they eat (food pantries etc.) 3) Drive what they drive (reposession etc.) 4) Vacation-don't make me laugh 5)Maintain their lifestyle.
Tax cuts for the wealthy, no matter what, or what impact it has on the lives of Americans, (gov't job layoffs, reductions in needed services), are a moral issue that Mitt Romney and the Ryan budget are on the wrong side of.
