But I will vote for President Obama because I think (hope) he's learned a thing or two the past four years - and because the alternative is like silly putty. No clue what Romney has in mind. I honestly don't think he does, either. And, the GOP has been taken over by the crackpots. And they scare me to death.

Toilet tanking away economy is due to offshoring and it won't change. Our workforce needs to retool. We are in the middle of global labor arbitrage. No matter who is President, US wages and standard of living will continue its decline until the partisanship and greed go away, and Congress works together for the good of all. May never happen, because big money always wins in the end.


IF you think Obama has learned anything at all, you are sadly mistaken. Nothing he says or does says that. He is not really dishonest about it or his motives either. It's just silly people who don't pay attention or listen to just what he does say. He is doing just what he said he wanted done to this country in his own book. Read it and then pay a little bit closer attention.

I don't think Romney has any principles. I find that really strange. I can't think of one thing he has said that he actually will stand behind.

While there is some time, there is none to waste. The electoral college is the trouble..not the raw vote. 2012 brings a weird twist..several swing states, under GOP governors, are doing far better than the nation economically, and that takes a potent weapon out of play.

Truthfully, I would love to see Romney/Ryan campaign foe the eventual repeal of the carried interest special tax rate. In 2012 forward, populism sells.

Conservatives can't possibly be that stupid in thinking that Barry is going to win. I think it's nonsense to conclude that. Romney will win by the time the Texas votes get counted. It is going to surprise a good many of you which states Obama likely won't win. As it is, the American people are sick and tired of Barry's dodging, lying, and game-playing. It will only motivate thinking people to vote for Mitt.

Then it turns out that's exactly what obama did peddling this false narrative about a youtube video, when it turned out it was a preplanned al qaeda operation all along.

Romney might not be the best talking wizard, but how many of those people have we had that have been ineffective, such as obama? Quite a few. And what we do know is Romney is actually intelligent and has a life long record of success. We might actually put someone in the White House that knows how to run things and lead.
Romney makes himself look like a bumbling fool. He really doesn't need any help with that. That is one thing in this election that he is doing consistently.
