Sort of interesting that someone who may have sold his soul to the devoils (not sure) interviews a person who has definitely sold his soul to the devoils & has made it public he is in league with the devoils.

It is possible Arroyo is just naive and really doesn’t know that he is facilitating evil, but he at least used to frequently have Fr. Sirico of the Acton Institute (a person who has definitely sold his soul to the devoils) as a guest speaker.

Who are the devoils you ask? Koch, Exxon, Scaife and such. They are the ones heavily funding the climate change denialist industries and are heavily funding Romney, Ryan, and the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty, as well. See:
When Romney made that slap in the face comment about Obama wanting to slow the rising oceans and save the earth and himself (I guess) wanting to trash the earth, it was only a tiny tweak to Obama, who has not done a whole lot to mitigate climate change and hardly ever speaks about it anymore (scared by the devoils, I guess). But it was a huge slap in my face and the face of all life on planet earth. That includes people too. See esp pg. 24 of columbia.edu/~jeh1/2008/AGUBjerknes_20081217.pdf

At least Bush had the decency to say he would work to reduce CO2 emissions, and then when he left said that we are addicted to oil. And I thought Bush was the very worst pro-death president we had ever had, and now he comes across as a veritable saint compared to Romney/Ryan. It is one thing to fail to mitigate climate change and put all life on earth at risk; and quite another thing to dissuade people from mitigating, which is what Mit did during the convention. A totally evil act. (So now I guess both Romney & Obama will be headed for hell, unless they repent and strive to make amends for their pro-death stances and messages. Let us pray for them)

Up until the convention I had thought of voting for Romney, bec he was anti-abortion AND had been amenable to mitigating climate change as governor.

Now that has become impossible. I’m pro-life, and I cannot in all conscientiousness vote for someone who would work his hardest to see that all life on earth is annihilated. Yes, killing everyone will solve the abortion problem quite effectively, but at what cost?

I wish I were speaking hyperbole re the climate change situation, but I am not. We are very close to pushing the system into runaway warming, if we have not already done so. And even if we have, it behooves us to save and salvage as many lives as possible in the upcoming hundred to so years when we go into a total tailspin and it’s every man for himself, and skip the women, children, and weaklings. Let us pray we turn the Titantic around before hitting that iceberg.

You are insane and definitely should not have the right to vote.
 
Hee hee— today he is not looking Presidential.
Sad. Flailing.
Timing is everything.

Biden and Obama have been saying that Ryan and Romney’s tax reform will increase taxes for the middle class and cut taxes for the wealthy by parading an analysis by Tax Policy Center which WSJ says was a ‘highly ideological tract based on false assumptions, incomplete data and dishonest analysis’ and did not analyse the actual Ryan Romney plan

There is also partisan question when 1 of 3 authors of the study between 2009 to 10,
was senior economist for public finance and tax policy with Obama’s council of economic advisers, Adam Lonney

Harvey Rosen of Princeton University says Romney, Ryan plan can be revenue neutral with out raising anybody’s taxes

Relatively little has been said about the possible effects of the Romney proposal on economic growth. This is curious because increasing growth is the motivation for the proposal in the first place.

In this paper, I analyze the Romney proposal taking into account the additional income that might be generated by economic growth. The main conclusion is that under plausible assumptions, a proposal along the lines suggested by Governor Romney can both be revenue neutral and keep the net tax burden on high-income individuals about the same. That is, an increase in the tax burden on lower and middle income individuals is not required in order to make the overall plan revenue neutral.

Economists are notorious for their static forecasting of the effect of tax cuts on revenue. As Arthur Laffer notes, when you cut marginal rates, you increase revenue. The problem in the past is that spending always increases faster than the growth in revenue, resulting in an increased deficit. If tax rates are cut, and the line is held on spending, or heaven forbid spending is cut, then the budget will proceed toward balance due to the real increase in economic growth.

Could not agree more. Of course this has been the way he has been acting since he was elected in 2008.On the other hand It was nice to see Romeny step up and make a firm statement and then follow it up with clear ,concise answers when the press tried to use it to attack him. Obama on the other hand initially apologized, then agreed with Romney and now is probably off playing golf or whining about the mess he inherited

Well we do have Romney Care here in MA. However, Elizabeth Warren and her husband, are both professors at Harvard University. I doubt they have problems with getting affordable health insurance.

No, actually, I think they’d get tossed into the same situation as everyone else on that account. What will get them better coverage is the fact that Elizabeth Warren is a Senator. She’s been enrolled in the special government insurance for government employees. Therefore she and her family won’t take the hit.

Did you notice Gov Romney used notes, and appeared to have his speech almost memorized? He was able to look people right in the eye when he spoke.

LOL. Massachusetts is a bit of a joke out here in flyover country. How many times did Teddy get re-elected? That tells you how discerning they are in Massachusetts.

Romney is a smart man with a lot of business experience. Businessmen don’t use teleprompters when they speak. It’s considered a grave weakness. By the time someone gets high enough in business to speak to large groups of people, they can speak about ideas without having their speeches written for them, or fed to them like scripts on a machine. :rotfl::rotfl:

Video of Bill Gates talking. The ideas are coming out of his HEAD. This is when you know you have someone who can do something.

Of course, the fact that Romney can do both is amazing. Many businessmen don’t have the tact or patience that running for political office requires. This is one of the reasons politics is swamped with lawyers who don’t have a huge amount of talent, but want to increase their incomes and reputations, rather than businessmen who have experience and wisdom about working with people and finances.

But Romney is not against prompters. They are an aid when one needs to make a “prepared” such as a president would on policy or State of the Union address.

Certainly not when speaking to grade school children.

I’m hoping MA voters see through her, and vote for Scott Brown.

Yes, but Obama needs a teleprompter for EVERYTHING. And he has in fact used them to speak to school children because he can’t even manage to get that right without help.

Well, Ted Kennedy helped many people, and his office always returned phone calls from his constituents.

This is why he was kept in office.

Remember, Ted Kennedy voted against the prescription drug program for medicaid, because he knew they were lying about the actual cost, and he voted against the war in Iraq, cuz he knew the cost was beyond the benefit.

Give us a break. One of the knocks on Romney is his lack of foreign policy experience. Every candidate in existence would do the same thing. He’s running for President.

When the economy collapsed in 08, both candidates reacted. Why would they do any differently? People want to know what they’d do.

To have an issue with this shows a real sense of bias Jim.

It’s not so much Romney’s lack of experience, but his lack of knowledge on the Middle East and agreements between the US and Russia concerning US Missiles in Eastern Europe.

This business in Libya is probably messing up his programming schedule and he’s desperate to get re-elected.

Obama doesn’t look presidential a fair amount of the time. He plays golf a LOT. And he refuses to attend his own security briefings more than half the time. Does he think he already knows everything?

If Kennedy had not led the opposition to Judge Bork Roe V Wade would have been overturned in 1992. I think of all the Kennedy’s he was the most disappointing and the Kennedy that did the most harm to our country.

After what he did to a certain young woman, those in flyover country didn’t want anything to do with him. He never was able to get elected out of Massachusetts. The Kennedy name doesn’t have the power out here that it has in Massachusetts, where they are star struck gaga over it for some reason none of the rest of us can figure out.

I think this will be an interesting focus for the next few days. Where was the President during the security briefings? We know Intelligence knew and warned about this.

This might be Obama’s undoing.

It is unfortunate that it took an incident like this to drive home his incompetence.
