Obama's biggest campaigner has been Romney.

Keep talking Romney we've almost done it!!



LOL
no I think you have him confused with your hack, Barry
people that do not have thier heads up their own asses
klnow what is going on here
and what the dumb ass that released the video
make a great move for Romney and it backfired on Obama
the 1998 clip of Obama stating very plainly that he believes in taking from the ones who have and give to
the ones that don't is going to blow up in his face
so hold on to the hope that Obama will win
he is being vetted finally!

Let's just keep it simple and leave the troops out of this discussion.
Why? They're part of the 47%. Mitt is a fool.

Romney is typical of the big money types. He makes zero distinction between some guy working two Walmart jobs at least trying to make his own way and the couch potato who does nothing.

>3% go to local town and county
1.5% go to state
0.5% go to Federal<

In many cases the town/ county are even more inbred with control than the feds.

You might want to rethink that. People don't own successful small to moderate businesses because they're dumb. It takes intelligence, dedication, and sacrifice, especially in Obama's stagnant economy.

If what they're hearing and seeing on a particular cable news channel rings true to them, who are you to say it's crap? Those business owners sure as hell have done things correctly enough to have a viable business. They're not fools, nor do they suffer fools gladly.

Who doesn't let anyone have contraceptives or an abortion? Both are legal in the U.S.

So will Romney be pushing for members of the US military to pay income tax on their pay while they are in combat zones ?

As the lad said, the shame will always be with him.
I'm trying to figure out how someone can even respond to idiocy like this? I supposed I'd ask you if you had a nephew that was in grade school, and ask you if you think he is suppose to get away with not paying taxes too. <shrug>

I'm really at a loss how to respond to immature rants like yours.

Romney did not differentiate between the 47% who pay no income tax and the 47% who will vote for Obama. He inferred nothing. He was trying to be witty with his supporters. Too bad he didn't know what he was talking about.

Do you pay more than you take in government services and benefits?

Since Romney suggests the 47% are nothing but bludgers maybe he would be more comfortable if only real Americans ie those who pay income tax having the privilege of the vote.
I love NPR planet money

1) most of these people do pay payroll taxes but deductions like . . ichild credits and mortgage deductions can nock out the income tax (they still pay medicare and SSN)

2) its quite funny that Republicans would rather grant tax credits than spending initaitives, then whine about it when you add this stuff up and some people don't pay.


Though I do agree, old people shouldn't vote.

Who is the 47%
