The Obama campaign is making a big deal about Romney's tax returns. Romney should accept the challenge:....Romney should release his tax returns when Obama releases his college records, admission papers, and transcripts. Fair deal to me....
Fair deal, maybe. Gonna happen? I hope not.

It'll bring Romney down to his level. Obama want's him on the defense, and he hasn't done anything wrong, so there's no need to defend himself. Obama has nads to be saying the things he's saying. Romney needs to keep hammering on the economy, Obamacare being a tax and costing $2.7T, the price of gas, the price of food, the crashing dollar, and keep doing exactly what he's doing. Obama doesn't have a leg to stand on.

IMHO: Obama saying Romney doesn't have enough experience is like Satan saying God is evil. Laughable at best, and the stance of a floudering politician.

It depends how someone made their money. Stealing it (legally by changing the rules a la Bernanke or illegally) is different from working your ass off. All Romney did was leverage companies until they were sagging from debt, take the money he raised and pocked it, and then let the companies sink. It is a little scheme that is played over and over and over again. Nice game as long as the banks allow you to do it. And they do, because the bankers pocket the profits and leave the rest of the middle class to bail out our own savings which are lost in these kind of deals.

I can't believe that everyone fell for this HOPE & CHANGE crap. Obama is the worst one to come along.

Live and learn.


But, mostly learn.
Dude... just how many of the EXACT same threads do you need to put up here at one time? What purpose does that serve?

Quit trying to twist the past 3.5 years, trying to wring as much success as you can out of this failure of a Presidency. It's starting to look like you're gasping for air.

Romney is not a goof-ball serving the rich, he is the rich and he is going to make the rich much richer while sinking the rest of us deeper and deeper in debt - personally and at the government level. Romney will do exactly what his brethren have done in Europe (Spain, Italy, France, etc.). Wipe out the middle class leaving them with all the debt while the bankers take a holiday on their new jet aircraft.

Hmmm....

Have you heard any of Romney's speeches lately?

He says nothing of the sort.


I guess you get your news from Huffington.


They don't care about the economy. They back Obama because they love homosexuality. Then they use the economy and the wealthy as a distraction, so that they get more sales by being gay friendly.

It seems to me that Obama supporters have nothing to say.

Can't even make one point as to why he should be re-elected.


Dems will still vote for him --- but no one will say why. They can't point to one thing that the American people approve of.

Independents won't put up with Barack's BS. Obama is toast in Nov.

Not an Obama supporter but I will say this:

This election is useless. No matter who you elect into office, Obama or Romney, you're going to get the same politician. No matter what, we're in for 4 more years of the same thing.

The only true difference between Obama and Romney is that Romney (at least for now) is more against homosexual marriage and abortion (politically) than Obama.

Uh... Is someone using homosexuality as a diversion? Please spare us your fantasies.
