That's why you should NEVER believe anything he says.

Mitt made his fortune by killing jobs and raiding retirement accounts, so why would he not do everything he could to make middle class and poor people's lives more miserable than they are? After all, he's already got his money, who gives a $hit about Joe Shmoe on the street?

Have you ever noticed when Mitt has to pause during a speech, he steps back and tilts his head with an air that says "You may congratulate me my minions, you're all so cute when you adore me."?

You are right who the heck knows? I know something. The GOP is against students loans, against education, against help for the poor, and for taxing the middle class, and the working poor more and continuing the tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. So to me that sound they just want to keep the top 15% controlling even more than 93% which they are already controlling and the bottom 85% sharing less than the 7%. At least now the poor is having something. They probably want to lower the minimum wage and have children working. So what else is new. They have shown they do not care about the people in the US.

They want the children of the bottom 85% taking care of the children of the top 15%. Education is power, without education our children will find themselves being paid less that the educated ones. It is a form of distributing wealth. Low wages and high prices for good and services. Credit is already expensive for the middle class and working poor due to low salaries.

The GOP has to act fast if they want to keep their base really ignorant. They will want to get everything they are going to do passed their base wake up call. Their base really do not listen because they are too obfuscated with taking Obama out of the WH.

Most definitely.... Mutt Robme, the GOP elitist 1%er vulture capitalist candidate will impose Scott Walker's job-killing policies in combination with Paul Ryan's medicare and college grant killing budget policies.

The result: the end of the United States of America, the promised land of opportunity.

@DScully,

Agree.

Twit Robme wants Ryan to bankrupt the country so he can steal the retirement funds.

when Mitt has to pause during a speech, he steps back and tilts his head with an air

Interesting you should notice that... In poker, that is known as a 'tell' that indicates the player is bluffing... He is designing a lie to convince everyone that everything he is saying is the truth...

Romney's audiences behind him most times don't know whether to clap or cry.

Not for sure what "job killing pollicies" Walker has been accused of putting in, but the levers at the National level are different than those at the state level, so I doubt it. I also doubt he will come anywhere near the job killing policy level that Obama has been capable of hitting.

All of the information on the Internet about Romney's wealth makes it look like he stole his money from retirement pension funds and sent it to Switzerland and the Cayman Islands.

I would like someone to interview the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation to find out more about Romney bankruptcies. Seriously.

Previously Ms. Schneider was a consultant for Bain & Co., ... PBGC is a federal corporation created ... to guarantee payment of basic pension benefits earned by some 42 million American workers and retirees ...

Romney stole the retirement money from a steel plant.

Mitt Romney, became majority shareholder in a steel mill that had been operating since 1888 ... a federal government insurance agency had to pony up $44 million to bail out the company's underfunded pension plan. Nevertheless, Bain profited on the deal, receiving $12 million on its $8 million initial investment and at least $4.5 million in consulting fees.

American Airline workers blast Bain/Robme for bankruptcy filing.

• Total workers and retirees: about 130,000
• Estimated pension assets: about $8.3 billion
• Estimated benefits owed: about $18.5 billion
• Estimated amount Insured by PBGC, if pension plans fail: About $17 billion
• Premiums paid to date from AMR to PBGC: about $260 million
  

Twit Robme has tentacles like an octopus that suck the life blood out of anything that has large amounts of money.

The US government has large amounts of money.

I want to know more about this.

That's good. Crack- you should follow the same logic on Obama taking over GM. Dealerships closed, Models discontinued, Federal Government makes a profit, Medical and Pension spun off. I'm sure if you do the same research you did as above- you could come up with quite a story.

Oops- I just tested your cut and paste- was from an Obama support group. Politifact doesn't credit it as true.

Politifact also wasn't too convinced on Walkers job killing stuff. Seems they took an extremely small time period, like one month, and then pro-rated it.

I guess I'm not surprised. Also not surprised that people would try to pass lies off as truths, even when they knew better. You are probably innocent on that this time because you just trusted Ed and company. Now, though, you know better.

Rusty ... GM went bankrupt in a fantasy world.

Not the real world.

Nobody moved $millions$ from the GM retirement plans into foreign bank accounts.

Romney moved at least $16 million out of the retirement fund for a steel plant into his own company ... and some of that money left the country.

Romney is now in the process of moving $millions$ out of American Airlines retirement funds and bankrupting that company to gyp the employees.

One of Romney's former employees now runs the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation that regulates that part of the bankruptcy process.

GM pensions are intact and nobody has been pilfering those funds.

Nobody benefited personally from GM financial losses/benefits.

Romney benefited personally from bankrupting pension plans.

I don't see the connection between GM and Romney's behavior.

Explain?

Rusty,

Please do the research and report back. But, Fox News may not be your source of information.

Thank you,

Joy

@Joy from SoCal,

Thank you.

Buy american airlines stock, and fire romney. He can't just steel any ones money, you have to give him permission to steel it first. If you sell him controlling interest in your company and he takes control of it, who is at fault?

GM is not a good comparison, romney didn't fire based on who gave him donations. So what if romney put the money he made in switzerland, or the caymen islands. You know this because he has to tell the government it is there and pay taxes on it. If you keep all your money in banks that obama can rob, you are to stupid to be president.

A question you should be asking yourself. Who wrote those federal bankruptcy laws that romney followed? And why aren't you mad that obama ignored even those. If he did something illegal, the remedy is very simple, you sue him in court for the money back. Romney doesn't own the judiciary like obama does so can't rigged the outcome.

@slackwarerobert,

The corporate bankruptcy framework was created in the 1930s during the first 100 days of the FDR administration.

None of those people are sill living. They were old at the time and that was 80 years ago.

A living person is responsible for bankruptcy laws ... how?

Explain?

Rusty let me address you directly, first I would ask what specific job killing policies Obama has implemented although this is a cherished right wing meme I have yet to hear any specifics about what these policies are. Enlighten me. I do not think this president's domestic policy has been great however I'm not sure that the specific issue of job losses is legit. The majority of the job losses as we all should remember but has gotten lost in the national conversation happend during and because of the 2008 crash and recession. These happend under Bush the losses as I see it can only be attributed to that president in any way if we wish to play it like that. You could argue that Obama has not taken the economy fast enough but I don't think he has had a purely negative impact and that the economy has gotten worse than it was. A tiny improvement may be small but it is technically an improvement none the less and thus it is not factual to say the economy has gone no where.

Next the US does not own GM right now, we as in the fed bought it but now it's just a debtor not property of the fed. The GM apparently is making profit which is good...since they were going under. People can say whatever they want about bailing out GM but had they gone under and been destroyed the job numbers and unemployment would have been worse, this is common sense. So the company is profiting now and that's good conservatives should happy with that result. They are a major car seller now so they can thus pay back what they actually owe us for bailing them out. As long as we get the loan back at the amount with or with out interest from them I have no issues.

The company can profit now because government forced managment and workers to sit down and work. So the unions got hit and the ceo's got hit, nothing wrong with that especially considering neo cons seem to think unions are bad. So they took a hit they should be happy with that isn't that what they always want?

On Romney he did not steal anything from the people Bain Capital bought out. Private equitty funds get a bunch of rich donors to invest money up front and then Bain and others like them take that money and buy cheap companies that they think they can make money on. They go in make the company show profits so the investors are happy and then once they think they've milked it for all it's worth they sell it. They wait until they think they have reached the massive potential profit and long term projections. So they sell it to others and get their money which goes to the funds managment and investors so they get out before things can go bad again. Basically if the company later goes back into failure the bane people have already made off(no pun intended) with their money so it no longer is their problem. It's actually quite smart if you're a wall street type but it's legal. It is sleezy but totally legal.

Scott Walker has implemented unnecesary battles with unions and public sector workers instead of focusing on actually getting the private sector to hire. Walker seems to be one of the teavangelical folks who think that if we kill unions suddenly we can end all of our budget problems and has focused on that. What does WI have at this point that someone would want, why should businesses go there since the state doesn't seem to have anything going for it........Walker has cut the necessary infracture both psychologically and physically to have a positive environment for business. Folks aren't going to go there if they see the state government is slashing tons of stuff all time and fighting tooth and nail on money which means that if you go there it's likely you'd need to pay for things like shipping all by yourself which hurts her profit. So they just go the places like Illinois instead where they don't have to worry about that. Lastly Walker has been perhaps criminally involved in misconduct, he is in fact the first WI history to set up a personal legal defense fund. We know his employs created a shadow server for the Walker campaign which they accessed in their government offices with government computers. This was quite intentional as the staffers who have plead guilty seem to talk about his as normal. I just don't see how Walker or any other of his staffers would have not noticed it. How could he not have known? These people worked directly for him..........

A Blow to Walker? Wisconsin Leads Nation in Job Loss

With a recall election around the corner, Democrats are quick to label Gov. Scott Walker's administration a failure, while the Republican governor's camp claims most job losses occurred in Milwaukee under Mayor Tom Barrett's watch.

By Carl Engelking April 24, 2012

The keystone of Gov. Scott Walker's successful bid to become Wisconsin governor was his promise to create 250,000 new jobs in the state, but new data from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate the state has actually lost ground on that front.

Now, rather than 250,000 jobs, Walker will need to create roughly 273,900 to fulfill his promise. According to the BLS, Wisconsin shed 23,900 jobs between March 2011 and 2012. It was the only state with a statistically significant percentage change in employment to report a net loss, the report said.

According to JSOnline, public sector job losses totaled 17,800, while private sector job losses were 6,100.

Of the 29 states to report a significant change in employment, Texas led the way in job creation – adding more than 245,000 jobs.

However, the unemployment rate in Wisconsin dropped from 7.6 percent to 6.8 percent over the same period of time. The state's unemployment rate is still below the national unemployment rate of 8.2 percent.

The discrepancies between the state's job loss total and its unemployment rate is due to BLS data originating from two different surveys, and a drop in the unemployment rate reflects fewer people looking for work.

With a historically significant recall election on June 5, Democrats were quick to pounce on the latest BLS statistics Tuesday and labeled Walker's governorship thus far as a failure.

"Walker's jobs record is a total failure, and this is what happens when you pursue ideology instead of focusing on jobs," stated Democratic challenger and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett in a statement. "The nation is experiencing economic recovery, and our neighbors like Illinois are adding jobs. Yet, Wisconsin remains an island of job loss. It's clear this governor would rather put an extreme, partisan agenda ahead of Wisconsin's economy, and it's why we need a new governor on June 5."

Added fellow Democratic challenger Kathleen Falk: "Every report card that comes in for Gov. Walker shows he's failing Wisconsin."

"I am the only candidate with a jobs plan that invests in the manufacturing opportunities only Wisconsin has to create jobs and move us forward. While Wisconsin sadly continues to lose jobs under Gov. Walker, during my 14 years as county executive, our county had the highest job growth in the state – nearly 30,000 jobs."

The Walker campaign didn't respond to requests for comment Tuesday. However, in a press release sent earlier this month, the Republican governor's campaign said most of state's job losses occurred in Milwaukee during Barrett's watch. The Walker camp blamed Barrett for a 27 percent increase in unemployment in the state's largest city.

"As the mayor of Milwaukee, a city with rampant unemployment, Tom Barrett's number one priority should be encouraging job creation in his city," Walker campaign spokeswoman Ciara Matthews said. "Instead, he shows a complete lack of leadership by spending his days campaigning for governor for a third time while offering no answers as to why he has been silent on the crucial issues facing the state.

The other top Falk and Barrett are the top Democrats running for governor in the May 8 recall primary.

So typical of all Repugs, Walker passes the buck on to someone else when it comes to the job loss. But you can bet that if the same city had huge job creation, Walker would be taking ALL OF THE CREDIT FOR THAT.

Now compare President Obama's record to GW Moron's.... complete with chart.

Obama Created More Jobs In One Year Than Bush Created In Eight

By Alex Seitz-Wald on Jan 7, 2011 at 5:30 pm

This morning, the Labor Department released its employment data for December, showing that the U.S. economy ended the year by adding 113,000 private sector jobs, knocking the unemployment rate down sharply from 9.8 percent to 9.4 percent — its lowest rate since July 2009. The "surprising drop — which was far better than the modest step-down economists had forecast — was the steepest one-month fall since 1998." October and November's jobs numbers were also revised upward by almost 80,000 each. Still, 14.5 million Americans remain unemployed, and jobs will have to be created much faster in coming months for the country to pull itself out of the economic doldrums.

Responding the jobs report, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) noted that President Obama and the Democratic Congress have created "more jobs in 2010 than President Bush did over eight years."

Indeed, from February 2001, Bush's first full month in office, through January 2009, his last, the economy added just 1 million jobs. By contrast, in 2010 alone, the economy added at least 1.1 million jobs. This chart, produced by Pelosi's office, demonstrates the difference between the Bush administration and the Obama administration on jobs:

As the Wall Street Journal noted in the last month of Bush's term, the former president had the "worst track record for job creation since the government began keeping records." And job creation under Bush was anemic long before the recession began. Bush's supply-side economics "fostered the weakest jobs and income growth in more than six decades," along with "sluggish business investment and weak gross domestic product growth," the Center for American Progress' Joshua Picker explained. "On every major measurement" of income and employment, "the country lost ground during Bush's two terms," the National Journal's Ron Brownstein observed, parsing Census data.

Once again Rusty... it's been my impression for the past 3 and half years that Barack Obama has been sitting behind desk of the Commander in Chief in the Oval office, NOT THE CEO DESK AT GM.

But Obama TOOK OVER GM? What the hell are you talking about?

So far, nothing that you have said has even come close to the truth... and has most likely come from one of the idiots at the Fox propaganda network, or that King of the blowhards, Lush Limpbrain. His brain is rustier than yours!

@slackwarerob

So let's see..... it is the workers of these companies who are giving Robme the control and power to take over their companies and off-shore their jobs?

Or is it the CEOs who are wheeling and dealing with Robme to take their own huge million $ severance packages with them before deserting the company and it's workers to the evil and greedy devises of Robme and his Bain Cap minions?

It's not the CEO's pensions and living that has been/are being stolen by Robme and Bain, it's the pensions of the hundreds and sometimes thousands of powerless workers... who are left destitute and without recourse.

Fortunately... the American Airlines employees have a union looking out for their well-being, which has been able to out maneuver American A. corrupt CEOs and Bain Cap.

Joy- you are so sily- don't believe everything you hear on MSNBC- go other places to get your info. BTW- I already stated my source- Politifact- happens to be thought of as a liberal clearinghouse out of Tampa- pulitzer prize winning site. See- I don't even watch Fox News- but you've been conditioned because of what you watch.

CC- response was Politifact disputed Walker as job killing.

As for Obama- there have been tons. I'll give you a "for instance"- OSHA- Since Obama- they've decided to crack down- not on safety risk- but on record keeping. Example- citation and fines for column F on the OSHA 300. Says "object/substance that directly injured or made person ill". Situation- person was walking to the cafeteria and felt a twinge in his knee. Company left off the object or subject that directly injured the employee. Citation and fine- and the fines are greatly increased from past history. I'd challenge anyone to defend that ype of ruling.

Wanna another example? what is Obamacare going to cost?- Great unknown- Also- Obama put a tire making tariff on China- who retaliated by putting like tariffs on auto parts (ouch- UAW). Maybe the biggest thing is his policies that have kept Housing from being in balance- we are a long ways from equilibrium. Also- his lack of budget- none in his entire career- sort of a set of unknowns that do not deliver confidence.

Maybe- I'll ask you for the answer- do you think job creation has been adequate? Larry Summers- liberal from Carter Administration- doesn't think so. What's holding companies back from hiring. If they are as greedy as liberals declare, one would think they would hire in order to make more profit.

Come on, even Mitt (Willard) can't be that stupid, can he??? Walker is going to be unemployed, lookin for work, only ones to hire him will be the Koch Bros.. The people of Wisconsin will be lucky there is anything left after Walker is done. I wonder what his Family thinks of him, for what he is doing to the people of Wisconsin. WTF is going on Govner!!!!.

if he gets recalled, Kockroaches will drop him as a failure.

so Scott is on his own and well sinking fast. as we all know the roaches don't care about him just what he can do for them, once that's goes so does the roaches.

@Pilotshark

Adios Scott Walker! Good riddance!

AMF Scott Walker.

Na Na Na Na hey hey Good By

AMF Scott

If i was you I wouldn't be hoping for that Kock funded California trip.

LOL

Are you sure it isn't the other way around.Romney was governor of MA before Walker became governor of WI. So it's hard saying truthfully who's worse.

Hell Romney and Walker are basically identical. And don't even believe what Ann Romney say at all...........actually I think she helps Mitt think of lies and how to say them...................this is the way I feel about her as well. I live in Massachusetts and Romney was our Governor.....................oh my gosh what a mess he made here. So many jobs were lost and so many companies moved over seas. .................and .....................they want own to get their foot in the White house and then screw us all real bad...............THESE IDIOTS ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND WE MUST TAKE CONTROL AND GO OVER THEIR HEADS AND REALLY VOTE THEM OUT OF THE BALL BALL PARK .................OR WE ARE ALL GOING DOWN IN THIS COUNTRY.

Twit Robme is actually a Cylon.

• Gaius Baltar is a Mormon
• The Mormons are Coming
• Mormons in Space by Dr. P. Bradley Carey

Chilling :o

Romney is robotic enough....

Whoever wrote Battlestar Galactica appears to have plagiarized from the Book of Mormon.

I've been brain-raped by science fiction.

Feel. So. Dirty.

I agree. There is something inherently evil in Mitt's eyes. If the eyes are the window to the soul, his reflect no soul. He stands for nothing, but his past proves he is motivated by greed. He is exactly what America does not need. I call him the Liquidator. If elected, Mitt will finish liquidating America straight into the hands of Wall Street.

I see desperation from Romney. He acts like a "caged animal".

Well said David. Mitt has already praised Walker, and so has most of republicans. They all are working to get rid of Unions, and destroy the labor market. they want to install China type policies. make people work like slaves, and pay less than minimum wage. current minimum wage law would not have been there without Democrats like Ted Kennedy and other so called Liberals! People like Hateful Hannity don't want to pay their fair share of taxes, and stop others from getting their fair share!

Scott Walker is quite simply a snob
Who thinks any union worker's a slob...
His assumption makes
For political mistakes
That will render him out of his job...

David, Fantastic. The people of Wisconsin know they were hood winked by Walker and we know Romney is doing the same. Hes the great pretender. Say all do all to get elected and once in office will bring his recking crew. Lord can you imagine if those two were in charge. It would be Americas worst nightmare !!!!

Lets HOPE he doesn't make it is all I got to say.If he gets enough votes,we would be STUCK with him whether we like it or not.

Walker out of office in June.

that's a very scary thought, ted. god help us if it were to happen....unless you're wealthy.

KV - We won't know until after the elections.But like I said,lets just hope that it doesn't happen.

I like watching House Hunters International, the Bahamas is looking better and better to me. If Romney steals this election, I'm thinking of moving out of the US, it will be a very scary place to live.

If the republicans steal another election, which is quite possible, the American Dream will become a never ending nightmare.

I hope it does happen to where they do go EXTINCT.

Good evening every-one ---Wasn't our President great on Fallon last night! Obama/Biden 2012

Good evening every-one ---Wasn't our President great on Fallon last night! Obama/Biden 2012

Ditto.

Obama is a rock star.

Rachael: Loved Obama on Fallon last night....Obama Rocks !!!! No matter where he is.

Eat your heart out jealous republicans, Fox and Friends sounded a bit jealous this morning.

Toyota--they had a right to be jealous----We've got a Bad President!

Greta van Susteran claims that a president being on a comedy show demeans the office, but when GWB showed up on Deal Or No Deal, he was showing he was a Man of the People...

What do you think she'd have said if she'd been around when Richard Nixon appeared on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, saying "Sock it to me"?

Whaa Mitt was on Leno and just showed how much of a lying crook he really is!

THANKS JIMMY!!!! He don't suck no GOP deeek or drink NO TEA!

I can not even contemplate the hell hole we will be in if the republicans take over this country.....please Dear God, save us from such a fate.

THANKFUL MOM - Lets hope that it doesn't happen.

Where were you when palin was being trashed with her children fighting over there.

Thankful Mom: I hope you are right, President Biden is our only chance to stop the "racist rinos" and maybe reunite the country. As long as obama stays in just to help 'holders people' it won't get better. Just wish there was a way to get rid of all the congressman, but that is impossible with the idiots voting all across the country, so you take second choice that gives same results.

LOL Good one!

Thank you for your LOL!

MD/MI for President!

Support his #30 PAC!!! He's running dry!!

THANKFUL MOM - Lets hope he falls in in the process,that would be one way to get rid of him ( just where he belongs,in the sewer ).

And Romney thinks Americans are so stupid that they don't know what a LIAR he is and all of us will suddenly forget what he has said in the past and walk like zombies to vote for somebody who doesn't have a clue WHO the American people are and couldn't care less about anybody who isn't in his family.

Lying is what Romney does best, that's a fact right there.

But regardless, his principles involve making money at any cost, even if it destroys lives, communities, jobs....

I guess only the ignorant would favor such a destructive ideology.

How can you tell if Mitt Romney is lying?

His lips are moving.

OR,

The ignorant and bigoted will accept any falsehood that allows them to keep their beliefs intact.

They just haven't made up the right figures yet! It takes time to make up the truth!

He and his wife only care about those chosen few who will join them in their "special/exclusive haven”.

If "Corporations are People" then "People should be Corporations"

...I need to amend my 2011 TAXES THEN...Wonder how many tax breaks and loop holes I can find being I'm a Corporation.

Republicans are jealous because "we democrats have the smart/fun guy"and their guy is plastic and fake.

Toyota- you could start with making sure you sue personal exemptions for all your dependents. Then, I would also suggest looking into the mortgage interest deduction to see if you can use it. Student loans, tuition, charitable donations (even donations of clothing to the Goodwill) are popular tax dodges and loopholes that individual can easily use. You can even use sales tax if you bought an auto this past year. There are many more loopholes that allow you to reduce your income from gross to taxable.

Just curious as to how many people on these blogs use these loopholes to lower their taxes? I'll admit to using them. Fess up- how many of you do?

RACHAEL - Are you sure that he didn't buy them out ?

Hey Ted-- I'm sure that he has tried. ---Ann Romney said it was their time to get in the White-House, so Romney has got to pull everything out of the hat to get in the Whte-House even if it means trying to buy it.

Mittwitt has to do as told, he can;t think for himself.

RACHAEL - What ANN ROMNEY doesn't seem to realize is that they got to EARN the right to be in the white house.Just because she said that it's "our turn" does not mean SQUAT to me.If Romney wins the election,then he earned it,plain and simple (lets hope he loses).
