Yeah, Romney...

Another richy rich boy who was given every advantage in life and continually speaks disdainfully of everyone who's less fortunate as though they exist solely for his amusement.

Go ahead, GOP. Convince me that he should be president. This is all you've got?



Boy, if this isn't a bunch of fairytale rhetoric.
The no experience guy in there now has nothing to point to in order to convince us he should stay.

In fact he will do well to not point out anything of his record....if he can avoid it.

Amidst the usual ridiculous desperation ramblings by the midguided Right, comes this great post that is spot on.

This post trumps the entire stupid GOP narrative. Good job.

Except that virtually all of it is a lie. There is nothing in that post that is true.

It would serve your candidate better to stop with the fabrications, name calling, and attempts to smear, if you folks would come up with something positive about Obama...oh, yeah, there isn't anything!

Check out this link if you still do not believe in cold hard facts you are trolling really hard or your racist

What the **** has Obama done so far?

Fact is Obama is trying to get a jobs bill past the reason it has been shot down like 9 times republicans in the house want him to fail so a republican will get elected and will have 4 more years of Bush they want to go back to just about everything Bush. Most of what Bush did caused the economy mess in the first place do republicans think this will macigly work a second time they will not work in 5 billion years sorry

Yes, of course it's about racism. Doesn't that ever get old? I am sorry, but that is more than likely not going to work this time around...better readjust and see what else you can come up with. BTW, blaming Bush and crying about Congress isn't working either.

Considering that 9/11 happened right after Bush took office and one of the objectives of it was to wreck the economy, Bush kept things going amazingly well until the Democrats took over the house and senate. The democrats had control over both during Obama's first two years and he still didn't do anything productive for the economy with it. What he did do, was wreck what little recovery we could have achieved. His main accomplishment was passing Obamacare and that is one of the biggest factors in stifled economic and business growth. He has wasted his time in office on programs that have been complete failures like 'green' initiatives that have gone or are going belly up. A total waste of billions of tax payer money.

And you wonder why he is going to going to lose?

No experience?

Between Romney and Obama only one actually has experience being president. To infer that the guy who ran a firm that cuts up other companies and sells them -- a skill completely useless to the office he is seeking, and has one term as Governor of Massachusetts, has more experience than the guy who's already President is absurd.

Meanwhile, the difference that really matter, policy, couldn't be more starkly different. Romney believes in the Ryan Budget that cuts taxes for the rich even further than the Bush tax-cuts; raises taxes on everyone else; slashes social spending such as children's nutrition, Medicare and Medicaid and increases the deficit. Obama's budget actually has more real long-term deficit reduction than Ryan's and avoids those cruel cuts while modestly increasing taxes on the wealthy.

In addition, championed for the poor and working class, unlike Romney, who clearly represents the interests of the rich.
