To you it is not a good reason because he does not preach dependancy on the government. Maybe if you would clean your ears out and open your mind you would hear all the good reasons.
Spell check the bold. Seriously, if your zip is 11111 as you indicate, you would be in Obama-land, based on knowing that 11375 is Forest Hills, Queens, NYC. But, please, unclog my ears and offer up some of these good reasons.

And if you think EITHER candidate will whittle away at that quickly, you are delusional. The issue is complicated, and global. That's why a lot of people are fearing there's a "new normal" in America, and one that's not good. But thank GWB for planting the seeds. So, where's 11111 ? Sounds analogous to a fictitious phone number for a movie starting with 555-xxxx.

They know, but their entire game this election year is to pretend that Bush didn't happen or that Republicans in Congress have been nothing but worthless obstructionists since Obama took office.

I find the RNC to be an event of shameful proportions. The speakers are disingenuous and heavily scripted. They don't speak from a foundation of truth, sincere intentions, or a record of success. The ideology that is the basis of the presence hasn't helped this country in the last 20 years. Deceptive marketing and flim-flam define the Romney-Ryan ticket.

Easy to ignore this historically-meaningless and absurd event. The RNC screams FLIM FLAM R US.

Let's look closely at the campaign promises of Obama of 08 shall we? I'm sure you don't really want to talk about disingenuous when there are topics like the current unemployment numbers, Fast and Furious, the failing economy, the loss of per capita income, the Afganistan war still ongoing, the insertion of American forces in Libya, and the list goes on... I'm not even a republican, but I see through this president like the cheap suit that he is. Everything he has touched has been a failure, from the economy to foreign policy. What is disingenuous is that you are sent here to post such tripe.

I thought Ann Romney speech was great while Chris Christie speech came across as self serving. I say this as a Chris Christie fan.

You know what's really funny? Palin was deemed unfit to be VP by the Left while somehow Joe Biden gets a free pass.

The village idiot does make for some good laughs though, you gotta admit.

Try to stay on topic, i.e., the speeches this evening. There will be enough time to debate the candidates.

True. It just that the hypocrisy on the Left continues to abound... And yet they'll never admit to it, perhaps because they know it's true and perhaps because mass delusion will always be a powerful phenomenon.
