Lapsus...Romney

Romney claimed he initiated that "binder" search, which is another lie.

obama was the big disappointment in all 3 debates. Romney in 2012, obama must go.

Good point, Robin.
Why is it OK for Romney to claim he'll do this or that in 8 years, 10 years, yet expect that President Obama would have gotten everything done in less than 4?

The "world respects him." That's a good one. He's treated with disdain by Russia & China, and most in the Middle East, especially Iran.
All this jumped up state senator does is apologize for America. He's clearly unqualified for higher office, but the kool-aid drinkers, aided by the lapdog media, refuse to see that the emperor has no clothes.
Another four years? Hell, why not four terms, like FDR? Maybe in 16 years, he may acomplish something worthwhile.

Obama got elected in 2008 by claiming that he would cut the deficit in half during his term in office, that he would have unemployment below 6% and it would never go above 8% if we passed his stimulus package, and if he didn't accomplish that, that his would be a one-term Presidency.
Well, he didn't do any of those. He's run deficits over $1 Trillion dollars four years running, he's doubled the debt, and unemployment was over 8% for 40 months straight, despite getting the stimulus spending he wanted.
I think he deserves what he said such a record would bring... a one term Presidency.

The world respects him? What a joke! The world sees him as weak and spineless.

I have never laughed so hard when I read the world respects obama. That is the biggest joke around as other countries think he is a loser, and which he is. He is no born leader but an insult to the United States.

So interesting to see so many of you that KNOW how the rest of the world feels...all 7 billion people!! Instead of making inferences, here's a little data that suggests otherwise. Where is the data to support your claims, Robert Shoaf, Ally, and cc?

Where have you been? You need to face facts...the economy that was in ruins was saved from disaster and is turning around. The two wars we were engaged in are either ended or winding down...Bin Laden is dead. The President has guided us thru some of the darkest times in decades.

@ USC for me: The President has guided us INTO the darkest time in decades. NEVER has the unemployment rate been above 8% for so long, and the true unemployment rate is even higher due to people losing hope of finding a job.

The deficit he's building up at the rate of more than a TRILLION DOLLARS A YEAR is creating insurmountable debt for our children and grandchildren. It's killing the economy by taking money away from successful, profitable companies and giving it away to speculative "green" energy companies, more welfare without work requirements, more food stamps, Obama phones, and more government bureaucracy.

And Romney punched a monkey in the face while smoking a cigar.

See...you can say anything on the internet, Sue. It doesn't make it true.

It's simple math Mike. Go to the White Houses own website:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/disclosures/annual-records/2011

Import the data into Excel, sort by men and women and do the calculation. Average for women is $60 K, and average for men is $71 K. Of course that doesn't take into account if they are doing the same job. But neither does the 71 cents on the dollar the Obama cited. And I appologize, it's actually 18 percent not 19. I rounded incorrectly.

There have been numberous articles published in the last six months comparing these statistics , but I'm sure you would question them so I suggest you just calculate it yourself.

Of course that doesn't take into account if they are doing the same job

There's the truth of Sue's "information"

For some FACTS:
In the HOUSE:
Female Democratic House staff made on average $1,473.65 less annually than male Democratic House staff.
That's 97 cents on the dollar compared with men. It's not parity, but it's not far off.
At the same time,
Female REPUBLICAN House staff made on average $10,093.09 less annually than male Republican House staff. That's good for only 84 cents on the dollar, female to male.
``````

In the SENATE:
Female Democratic Senate staff made on average $4,916.46 less annually than male Democratic staff. Female Democratic Senate staff made 92 cents on the dollar compared with male staffers.
Female REPUBLICAN Senate staff made on average $9,805.85 less annually than male Republican Senate staff. That's 86 cents on the dollar for female Republican Senate staff.

Bureau of Labor Statistics
Federal Census Bureau
The Washington Post
National Journal

But maybe they get to make dinner.....

Yes NE12uKid, and Obama's 71 cents on the dollar also doesn't take into account if they are doing the same job. That was the whole point. The entire arguement is meaniless since it is based on faulty statistics. But you can't come up with a simple number to through out in a sound bite. You have to look at each company (and the government also the pay ranges for each grade are huge) on a case by case basis, and demonstrate that the man/woman are doing the same job. That is why there have only been six cases filed since the Lily Ledbetter Act was passed in 2009.

LOL!
NOW it's meaningless to Sue, NOW that the GOP has been shown to have greater pay inequities. Sure, Sue.

LeonA, if you read my first post, I say that the numbers don't take into account if they are doing the same job. Didn't think I need to spell it out to you all that because of that fact, all the the statistics people are putting out there are totally meaningless. It because evident in a later post that people don't seem to understand that. You can find a statistic to support just about any position. Math 101. Open your eyes.

Even FOX disagrees with Stan:
ROMNEY: "As a matter of fact, oil production is down 14 percent this year on federal land, and gas production was down 9 percent. Why? Because the president cut in half the number of licenses and permits for drilling on federal lands and in federal waters."
OBAMA: "Very little of what Governor Romney just said is true. We've opened up public lands. We're actually drilling more on public lands than in the previous administration and the previous president was an oilman."

THE FACTS: Both statements ring true, as far as they go. Obama more correctly describes the bigger picture.
According to Energy Department study, SALES of oil from federal areas fell 14 percent between 2010 and 2011 and sales of natural gas production fell 9 percent, supporting Romney's point. The lower oil production was a result mainly of moratorium on offshore drilling imposed by the Obama administration after BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
According to the same report, oil production from federal areas is UP 13 percent since Obama took office despite last year's dip, and analysts say Gulf oil production is expected to soon exceed its pre-spill levels.
Natural gas production from federal areas has been declining for years because drillers found reserves of natural gas in formations that are cheaper to access than in federally controlled areas.

How about when GovRomney said he didn't know any women to hire when he became Gov, after being such a big shot businessman for all those years....and he knew NO qualifited women?
At least that part sounded TRUTHFUL. (and Mormon)

You cut tax RATES by 20%. The economy expands as more transactions become economically advantageous to pursue, and the $$ amount of transactions that get taxed increases. Result is an INCREASE in Revenue even though the tax rate decreases. Since it's the higher income investors involved in more of the economic activity, they end up paying more into the Revenue pot than those less wealthy, so their overall tax burden DOES NOT DECREASE.

The Democrats have never understood this, because they consider the economy to be a static pie, and the only way to get more money out of that situation is to increase tax rates. They are wrong. When you increase tax RATES, the size of the economy decreases, and as that 'pie' deflates, even with an increased tax rate the amount of revenue generated goes DOWN.
Perversely for those "fair-minded" Democrats, this means that the share of the revenue produced by the wealthy actually decreases as a portion of the whole, and more of the tax burden is placed on lower income individuals.

C'mon Stan, what you're describing is trickle-down economics, which has never worked and has been debunked even by one of it's most famous advocate - David Stockman. Also called Voodoo economics by George Bush 1.

Basic economics says the economy expands when there is more demand for products by the masses. This is what stimulates growth and allows everyone to do better. Our current economy, based on the rich getting richer and paying less in taxes, has been in place for over 10 years and the results are obvious. Why would we want to vote for Romney to return to the pure form of this Oligarchy? At lease Obama, while still bidden to the oligarchs, has a vision that includes trying to restore a middle class that has all but disappeared.

Exactly! I'm not sure what he is waiting for.
His 5 point plan sounds great but is very vague with little to no details as to how he'll implement the plan.

Fear and paranoia; swaying simple minded Americans for 236 years.

President Obama is neither a socialist nor a communist. Unlike Greece, the US economy is well on the road to recovery.

Obama's mother was a socialist. Obama's birth father was a communist, as was the mentor chosen for him by his grandfather. That was Frank Marshall Davis, who was a Communist Party member, and who taught Obama all about Critical Race Theory. In college, Obama tells us in his books that he sought out the Marxist professors and radical students and hung out with them discussing the bourgeoisie society, that he traveled to Pakistan with one of his college buddies. After moving to Chicago he got involved with Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, Weather Underground founding members who bombed and killed a Chicago cop, and who would be in jail if the FBI hadn't got the goods on them without a proper search warrant. He joined the church of the Reverent Wright, and was exposed to that racist for 20 years, reinforcing his hatred for capitalism. In Chicago, he joined the New Party, which was the political offshoot of the Communist Party USA, and was endorsed for office by them.
Birds of a feather flock together. Obama was and is a Socialist and a racist, although he hides the evidence unless he's talking to the black "faithful", like he was taped doing in 2007.

Surrounded by socialists an

we will end up worse

I am a woman working in a predominately male profession (engineering) and agree. if you aren't happy with your salary move on. I've done it with success. To be honest, I've been insulted by Obama campain's attifude towards women. It's one of his biggest turn offs for me. I'm not going to make a decision on who I vote for based on if the goverment insists that the $9 a month for birth control bills is covered by my health insurance. Everytime I hear that arguement I feel insulted. I want our economy back to a healthly condition so that sw don't need to worry if our job will be there tomorrow. If Obama would focus on the economy and quit acting like I need to be taken care of by the government just because I'm a woman he would win a lot more points with me.

I totally agree, Ronda. Great comparison! Intelligence and thoughtfulness are nothing to be feared. The really fearful things are the talk radio and twisted "news" channel that have shaped so many people's thinking for so long. It's hard to see past that training.

Yes, Obama and Biden are possess soaring intellects, or at least believe they do, and also those who amazingly seem to defy logic and agree with them.
Obama probably has no supporter who thinks more highly of him than he does of himself; self-delusion is endemic with him and his acolytes.
Bumbling Joe Biden, the worst kind of political hack, and intellect should not be mentioned in the same sentence.
Obama is a mile wide, and an inch deep, and will say and do anything to cling to power. He is in waaaaayyyyy over his head.
You also say " beware the quiet ones." Are you referring to the smirking loudmouth Biden??
Pathetic.

Totally agree with you! Well said! We are woting for intellect as well.

Can't stand to hear Mr. RMoney's grandiose promises anymore!

This incoherent, rambling, grammar and spelling-challenged rant speaks volumes about it's author, and not in a good way.
That is, unless it's a parody.

Margaret, I listened to an interview with a teacher at a Catholic school who takes birth control pills for a medical reason. She was asked about the dispute between the Catholic church and the requirements of Obama care. She said that she had no problem paying for the pills on her own. It was her choice to work at the school, and she would prefer to respect their decision not to cover the perscription base on their religious beliefs of the church..

The point of my post on birth control is that the Obama campain seems to think that they can win of women on that one issue. I'm sorry, but I'm not that easily bought. And that is because I am educated. I find it insulting that they conitinue to think they can buy my vote by paying for birth control while the deficit continues to rise and the economy can't get out of the tank.

Margaret--Under Title IX, women can get birth control pills from a minimum of $0 to a maximum of $9 per month. It is based on income, so if she can't afford them, she would qualify to get them free already under this program. Why are bc pills singled out? There are a lot of prescription drugs out there that are critical to peoples health that under the health care bill still need to be paid out of pocket until the deductible is reached.. That's my problem with it. We are told that the republicans don't care about women's health because they don't want to pay for bc pills. I'm sick of that arguement and am turned off by it. That is all I was saying.

That should be Title X, not title IX, sorry.
