If Romney is elected, I will totally support, from the grandstand, his efforts to fix the economy, and hope the Democrats in Congress do likewise. But given the Republicans’ lack of support for Obama from the start, it is unlikely the Democrats will turn the other cheek.
When Obama met with congressional democrats and republcians and said ‘I won,’ that sure showed his support for bipartisanship
While I agree that the country is ever more partisan, the reality is that Obama was incredibly hostile toward the Republicans with an “I won you lost” mantra repeated when Republicans came to him with ideas. When he asked Republicans to come to Blair House and provide suggestions for the healthcare bill, he repeated “Elections have consequences.” When John Boehner went against his own constituancy to create the “Grand Deal” over the debt ceiling, he and Obama shook hands and agreed to a plan that increased revenue (read more taxes) while making some cuts that Obama said he could get through. Literally as they planned to announce the deal, Obama backed down and wouldn’t support it. The House has sent over dozens of bills as well as bi-partisan backed budgets. Harry Reid blocks them and will not even allow a vote.
I think the term is “moocher.”
No it’s not true, it’s a load. I have never paid income tax. I have never supported Obama. I was one of the few 18 year olds who cast my vote for McCain, in spite of Scarlett Johanssen and the Black Eyed Peas telling me not to. And this year I’m voting for Romney, despite the fact that he basically just said that I think of myself as a victim, depend on the government, and will vote for Obama no matter what.
I guess I should just stop thinking for myself and vote for Obama since it seems like that’s what Romney expects of me.
No he didn’t and it’s the spin that has it interpreted that way. Romney conflated two groups, those who don’t pay taxes and those who live off the government. Because he erroneously used the same percentage to refer to them both, they were lumped together as “Romney doesn’t care about anyone but the rich.”
That’s difficult to say. Obama’s foreign policy is far superior, something that Republicans would give him full credit for, IF HE WERE REPUBLICAN.
That is just not how I read it at all. And I read the full quote. This is the part that sounds so bad to me:
Technically, the Dems haven’t had the Judicial branch since before Roe vs. Wade. You must be referring to the two chambers of the Legislative branch plus the Executive branch.
Good heavens! You didn’t listen to the Black Eyed Peas? Seriously though, just do what you’ve been doing, thinking for yourself, and you’ll be fine no matter whom you decide to vote for.
After careful consideration of their arguments, I declined to follow their advice
rLg, I’m a caucasian guy voting for Barack Obama. Racial politics obviously have nothing to do with it in my case. But do you think he would have gotten a lot more votes from Latino Americans only if he were Mexican? Or could he have been of another Latino background and gotten a lot more votes? I also get confused when people say he chose Ryan for VP to shore up the GOP base and Catholic support. Maybe though Rubio meant all along that he was not interested because otherwise Rubio appealed as well to both the base and to Catholics it seemed here. And is from FL and a Latino too.I think it’s funny that people make such a big deal about this comment. He is 100% correct, that he would get a lot of votes from the hispanic community, if he were Mexican. Racial politics are a reality. All he was doing was acknowledging that fact.
Besides, if he were Mexican, he could claim that white people who don’t vote for him are racists…but, he would have to be a Democrat to play that game…
One thing I’m sure of is he is aware of both his grandmother’s life experience as well as his mother’s experiences in needing food stamps and her struggles with an insurance company.
If you are trying to make a point, you aren’t making it very well.
You can certainly “expect both SSI” and MC to “be there,” but they won’t be, because they aren’t now. It’s a ponzi scheme - there is NO fund that exists, holding what you have contributed. Would have been nice. Its time the “folks” realize the system is BROKEN and must be reconstructed so there WILL be something there when we both retire. Mr. Obama and this democratic party have abandoned you and misled you and are truly the ones pushing the wheelchair off the cliff, not the GOP. This is NOT the democratic party my spendthrift father voted for over the span of his 80 years. Frank, Pelosi, and Reid Obama and Grayson and Sebilious et al need to be the ones to go far away very very soon
both statements are well said
