Talking points?

People don't have jobs because businesses don't have business. The reason they don't have business is because people are broke and badly in debt. The reason people are broke is because the top 1% sucked all the money from them and continue to do so. People like Romney and his friends and his supporters have made paupers of all of us. The concentration of wealth in the top 1% is the greatest since the period before the Great Depression. Poor people make for a poor economy and nothing is going to happen until people have money again. Do you think Romney is going to cough up any of the hundreds of billions that he has so that people have money and can start buying things again?

What I want is for Romney and Company to quite writing rules so that he pays only 15% while the rest of us pay 50% in taxes. OK? Or do you think that the privileged deserve extra privileges because they have to money to buy off Senators and Congresspeople?

2, Jan 22, 2002 attack on the America Center in Kolkata, India

3, Mar 21, 2002 attack on American Embassy in Lima, Peru

4, July 2002 — Egyptian-born Hesham Mohammed Hadayet walked into the Israeli Airlines El Al terminal at the Los Angeles airport and began shooting Jews. He killed two and injured another four. He was known to sympathize with al Qaeda.

5, September 2002 — Patrick Gott killed one and wounded another in the New Orleans airport. He had entered the terminal with a shotgun and his Koran.

8, May 2006 — Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill student, rented an SUV and drove it through a crowded part of the campus — intentionally trying to hit people and wounding nine. In a series of letters to the student newspaper, he explained that he acted in obedience to Koranic dictates.

9, June 2006 — Michael Ford, a Muslim convert, walked into work at a Safeway warehouse in Denver and opened fire on his coworkers, killing one and injuring five. Relatives explained that he was being teased at work because he’s a Muslim and he could not take it anymore.

10, July 2006 — Naveed Alzal Haq, a Pakistani, walked into the Jewish Federation Center in downtown Seattle and shot six women — killing one and wounding five (one of whom was pregnant). He stated matter-of-factly: “I am a Muslim American angry at Israel.â€

11, August 2006 — Omeed Aziz Popal, a Muslim Afghan refugee, used his SUV as a weapon and ran down at least 14 people and a bicyclist in the San Francisco Bay area. He was targeting Jewish neighborhoods to terrorize.

12, January 2007 — A 22-year-old Muslim, Ismail Yassin Mohamed, stole a car in Minneapolis and rammed it into other cars before stealing a van and doing the same, injuring several drivers and pedestrians before police finally caught up with him. Mohamed called himself a “terrorist.â€

13, February 2007 — Ibrihim Ahmed, a Nashville cab driver and Muslim, was enraged that two passengers did not agree with him about Islam. When they got out of the cab, he tried to run them down, striking one in a parking lot.

14, February 2007 –Sulejman Talovic, a Bosnian Muslim immigrant, went to a Salt Lake City mosque on a Friday night. Then he went to one of only two malls in the state which prohibits civilian carrying of concealed weapons. He killed five before an off-duty cop (not subject to the ban) used a concealed firearm to stop his murder spree.

15, Jan 15, 2008 bombing of U.S Embassy in Beirut

16, Sept 17, 2008 a car bomb exploded outside the U.S. Embassy in San‘a’, Yemen


And add 17, shoebomber. If you think the Christmas day failed attempt was a terrorist attack. If it was then so was the shoebomber

Why do you think that raising taxes - which Obama is doing - will bring you prosperity?

There aren't NEARLY enough millionaires in the US to make a dent in the size of our debt; the only way to make any progress on it is to soak the middle class, which Obama has done very well thanks to a very weak dollar, exploding commodity prices, rampant inflation.

A direct tax hike on the middle class wouldn't get through Congress, so he's being very deceitful and slick about it, which is what you'd expect from a Chicago con artist and a master at destroying reputations better than anybody of the past 75 years, including that 50's slimeball named McCarthy.

Why do you think that federal deficit can be reduced without raising taxes?

We tried it with Ronald Reagan it didn't work. We tried it with George W. Bush Jr. it didn't work.

It's a spending problem.

Not a revenue problem.


The amount Obama would bring in by raising taxes on those earning $250,000 and above.... will be spent by your Liberal Federal Government in 8 days.

That's a great solution.
