Haaaaa!!!! These poll questions just keep on getting dumber and dumber. First of all you have to have feelings like greed to care about profits. Robots don't have feelings.
LOL I know, right?
Mitt the Twit R-Money cares about profits for one person- himself.
Not "dumber and dumber" but rather "more and more obvious." Anyone who thinks that Romney cares about people over profits has been living on the Planet Kolob too long and needs a reality check.
But wait a minute- he says Corporations are people, and he's worried about Corporate profits, so does that mean he also cares about people? Hmmmm...
When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that...?
Hi Viewer
Okay... here is an alternate question for you.
Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is?
If corporations are people then people are corporations, right Mitt? Hey, I need to re-do my tax returns, I want my corporate tax cuts and loopholes.
Hi David H
Right... Mutt cares about those "corporate people" who function on greed and are without souls. Apparently not unlike himself and the GOP.
Toyota
I agree.... where are our corporate subsidies and tax loopholes?
We should all go to Legal Zoom and register as LLCs RIGHT NOW.
Romney has said "Corporations are people", in that sense he does care about people! But the real people like middle class are not considered people in his bible! They are nothing but trash to him and his cronies. That hateful Hannity, Carl Rove (Lee Atwater born again), DDDDe Mint, and ofcourse that fat fuzzy boy limbocare less about regular people and women. We need to ask people,"Are you going to vote for this guy"? Just like old jesse Halms asked about our Senator should have been Harvey gant "Would you want him to cast vote for you"? These people are totally out of touch.
Obama hates free enterprise. The ads that Obamanation runs about Mitt he already left Bain capital. For success look at Staples and Bright horizons
David---you've got a point, i wonder if we are owed back taxes, since we are corps. Hey DSculley--thanks for setting the record straight------Hey Pam----hope you're healing well.
Why is Mitt not on Meet the Press himself?
Romney care only for money for himself, his children and his friends. There is a reason why he had a reception only for the 1% where he told them he was going to be on their side. Talk about class warfare. He already took sides.
What the GOP base does not understand is that Democrats are not against Bain capital. Bain capital is not running for president. We are against the vulture capitalism, Romney has been married too and is defending. The record he has is of causing poverty to thousands of workers. Without taking in consideration the effects that had on people. Sure, he made profits for the stock holders and CEOs but the poverty he caused is more significant because those companies were already making money for themselves. The people only had one job to go to and take care of their families. If that is the kind of capitalism he is going to promote then the country will do better without him.
Capitalism is good as long as it is practiced responsibly. Like alcohol, which is good, if you drink and drive you can create havoc. You have to consume alcohol responsibly. Otherwise Capitalism becomes something used by the wicked to create evil or financial persecution.
"We must always fear the wicked. But there is another kind of evil that we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men." "The Boondock Saints"
“As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no man objected and no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever.” Clarence Darrow
If we are going to say that slavery takes many forms, we would have to agree that financial persecution and creating a class that works yet their wages do not permit them to live according to the standard of living of their country then they are slaves of the few who are on top.
85% of the population sharing only 6% of the wealth of a country, is in a certain sense slavery. Those are slaves of financial institutions who through credit and usury demand high interest rates. They are slaves to their employers who do not pay living wages and do not permit them to unionize to negotiate better arrangements. They are slaves of high prices from insurance services, medical and prescriptions and so on.
@David H
Listen I will think that corporations are people when Texas executes one! They can start with BP for murdering 17 Texans at Johnson City TX....
I'm sure he sleeps well knowing he stole the food right out of the mouths of families with children.
Robmee doesn't care for anyone other than himself and the 1%ers.
Maybe Robmee should pose for a pic eating at a McD's to try and fool the people into believing he actually cares about them and their future.
Now I'm going to watch the film Aliens.
Ma I have an answer for that: Once I had to pee, and pointed to my "barn door" and was shown to a prostitute. [I hope that wasn't a COH thing]
Ethlelouise, Good Evening great to see you . How on earth the Supreme court came up with that one i will never know! Maybe with all the petitions and hard work being done to over turn this it will be terminated. I feel like our election is all about money and not what made this country great. I wonder if they ever gave a thought of the monster they were creating ?
@mazzy
Mutt's too chicken... bauk,.... bauk, bauk, bauk
He can't handle hardball questions from David Gregory.
I wonder what he will do when he has to debate Prez Obama, who will call him on his lies.
HI Rachael
Thanks. Did you get my reply to your question on Friday's blog. I didn't get to some until Saturday.
Hi Ethelouise
Damn right.... we need quite a few corporate executions.
Hey.... maybe that is why Robme thinks corporations are people. He's killed so many of them when heading Bain.
@Pam
I hope you are feeling better. But the Rehnquist supreme court ruled under Regan that a corporation has a 'right' to make a profit, not a 'privilege' but a right. Then came this Citizens United which was something the founding fathers worked very hard to prevent - money taking over an election. They worked very hard to see to it that poor people were represented as well as the wealthy.
Well your right because the Supreme Court wrecked that.
Sorry Scully, don't know why I thought your were thankful mom #1.17
@DScully
Good point! I think maybe Cory Booker said absolutely the wrong thing that we should use his record and the fact that Flip Robme has created a mere 100,000 jobs. Remember Bush was a 'businessman' and I use that term 'loosely' because all of his oil companies went out of business drilling dry holes - and during the Bush administration we lost 7 million jobs a year. Imagine what we would get if Flip Robme took over...
HI Pam
Hope you are okay.... I heard you are healing from something.
As far as the Supreme Court and their Citizens United decision. I think it had a lot to do with the GOP's and Koch brothers' agenda.... along with some influence peddling.
HI Viewer
No... I'm not TM, but I liked your answer. lol
That's the danger of just pointing and not using our words.
Hi right back at you DScully. I had surgery and I am getting better . I am so glad I watched Rachael with Mayor Cory Booker. It was hard for me to think this was the same man who could of died in the fire he went into to save a person. He never even thought about putting himself in Danger. He is on fire now about the GOP and how they used him. Rachael and his coming on has restored my faith he is a hero and a man of moral character. Kudos to Rachael and Mayor Booker!!!!
DSculley--yes i got your post. Thank you for the info--- -- Pam---i really believe that Mr. Booker knew what he was doing. This man is a politician, he had to know the outcome of such a mis-led comparison of saying The Jeremiah Wright campaign attack is just as bad as the bain capital attack. I'm just not convinced by his squirming, and stuttering.---Besides he is the poster new child for the --GOP--now
Etlelousise, They sure took the P out of Patriot. The D out of Democracy, The C out of the Constitution and all our fore fathers have to be rolling over in there graves. This bunch have spit on America and whats so sad they could care less. The pendulum has sung so far it may take several generations to bring it back. If its not destroyed forever by the time they get through.
Rachael, So you think he is playing this. Could be I don't know. It all goes back to divide and Conquer ,or muddy the waters. Food for thought. The one thing I have problem with is someone posted Bain payed him half million dollars. You may be very right. I am really confused by this guy now.
Pam this guy was as -PHONY- as Mitt and Anny Romney's photo opt at the Laundromat. This little show he put on was very transparent. Rachael must have promised him to let him vent without asking so many questions, just to get him on. I didn't,t here him apologize. This is the same guy who was So nauseated Sunday by the Democrats Ads attacking Romney. what changed in a day. __in my mind the only thing that changed was his bank account.
Friday's poll was a good poll question it made for some debate, tonight's not so much.
Count Draconey cares about people........rich peoples profits.
@Pam & Rachael
I don't know what to think of Mr Booker. It does seem strange that he wouldn't realize how the GOP would pick up on those remarks and run with them. An comparing the Jeremiah Wright ad with the Bain bankrupted our company and tossed us out of jobs... come on?! Rachael's right... Booker is an experienced politician and should know better.
Either Mr. Booker really wasn't using his head, or maybe he's gotten abit carried away with his own celebrity. Maybe after doing that funny ad with Chris Christy has gotten him confused about just how petty and conniving Repugs really are... and that they will stop at nothing nor any lie to mislead the public.
Pam... great to hear you're going well after surgery. Hope it wasn't anything too serious.... of course, I guess most surgery is to an extent.
@David H-2813449, RE: (Comment #1.3)
Depends on whether or not the Corporation can successfully resist a LBO and keep its assets. If the corporation succumbs to the LBO, it's of no consequence. However, if the corporation can resist the LBO, then it is in sufficiently good shape that Romney realizes it must be reckoned with.
@mazzy152, RE: (Comment #1.13)
Because Romney's campaign staff knows that David Gregory would ask RomBot a question such that the properly Spun response could not possibly be on the TelePrompTer and RomBot has a reliable track record of throwing himself under the bus. Who knows, RomBot might even be truthful.
@Ethelouise, RE: (Comment #1.22)
The following happened in the aftermath of Watergate:
The above was excerpted from http://www.ilsr.org/rule/campaign/2187-2/, and is where SCOTUS initially equated money with Free Speech (while Ford was President).
Refer to
http://reclaimdemocracy.org/political_reform/proposed_constitutional_amendments.html
for proposed Amendments to revoke corporate constitutional "rights," reverse Buckley v. Valeo, and establish a right to vote (with all the Voter Suppression Laws that have been enacted, in accordance with legislation that was essentially drafted by ALEC, this last is necessary).
@Ethelouise, RE: (Comment #1.24)
The only real mistake that Booker made on Meet the Press was to make it sound like attacks against Private Equity Firms are on the same level as using attacks against Rev. Jeremiah Wright to establish ad hominem attacks against Obama. Booker was railing against attacking Private Equity Firms, which was taken out of context by the Romney campaign to make it sound like Booker was nauseated by referring to the impact that Romney, as Bain Capital CEO, had on job creation, as opposed to wealth creation, when he said that wealth creation was important for a source of funding for Pension Funds.
@Pam 52, RE: (Comment #1.27)
I was glad to have seen Booker on TRMS tonight too, Cory confirmed what I thought he meant by what he said on MTP yesterday. Chris Matthews really took Booker to task on Hardball; made it hard for me to believe that we saw/heard the same thing, given the radically different interpretation I had, when compared to Chris or Ed.
Makes me wonder if the GOP will rethink the "I'm with Cory" strategy, given all of the additional "I'm with Cory" lines that Mayor Booker iterated on Rachel's show.
@Rachael-3967039, RE: (Comment #1.31)
From what I heard Mayor Booker say on Meet the Press, the bitch was more about assuming that the Obama campaign was denigrating Private Equity Firms in general, as opposed to taking Romney to task for implying that Bain Capital was in the business of job creation as opposed to wealth creation, and that Bain Capital (and Romney, by extension) made millions, regardless of what happened to the companies they bought out. Or that even when the end result was good, such as with Staples, it wasn't all good. (After all, Staples put a lot of Mom & Pop Stationery Stores out of business because they couldn't compete, entailing a net loss of jobs for local residents, loss of local business owners who lived in the community, therefore, income going to Corporate HQ rather than staying in the community, etc..)
I don't think it will be long before Romney, et al., decide that Booker's too hot to handle; Booker will sufficiently recover from the gaff and be back on track as an effective surrogate for Obama.
Viewer and David H :
If Mitt Robbery cares 4 people, I'd shur hate 2 C when he don't care about em' so much ... or HATES THEM !!... holy schnikes !!
Talk about hurting the people U "luv" ?? .. like when he profited frum FIRING EVERY EMPLOYEE he "cares" about via his Bain-of-Their-Existence Kapital Profits Concern Inc. ??
and U can't judge him 2 harshly when it cums 2 how he treated the family pet that got sick and had a battle of diarrhea atop a station wagon at 60 mph on an international road trip... after-all, he DID take the dog down off the roof TO HOSE IT DOWN, B 4 putting IT back up atop the car roof for more "joy" riding that we all know dogs just LUV. plus, it wuz soo clever and good time management in having the dog "dry off" back atop the car roof WHILE they made up 4 lost time !! BESIDES, the dog is technically NOT a corpor (oops, I mean, a person ) . hee hee hee
Profits of course. Mitt Romney only measures success with money/profits. He does not care what humanity, human rights, sharing, caring and others means. He will eliminate all programs in govt that are focused for poors, seniors, disables, etc. and cut all programs that are focused for middle class, students, women, needy etc. people.
It is time that these lies stop. It is ludicrous to say that Mitt or any republican is going to just stop all government programs. It is important to understand that it is time for true reform in Washington. It is time that our government stops spending money it does not have and the citizens of this great country start being accountable for their bad decisions and stop making government pay for their lives. There has NEVER been any recovery where a country spends its' way out, it is not economically feasible.
Ted 2.1 : Have you seen what repubs plans are ? Ed has mentioned those many times in this show.
The only people Mitt cares about are the corporations, the wealthy, and the Romney family.
Too bad the poor, the elderly, the sick, disabled, and the working class aren't people to him.
India, I so agree with you. What would a man like him have in comon with us ?
Pam52, Not a damn thing. For one thing, I think only PEOPLE are people.
I also think there are more important things than money. Mitt doesn't feel that way. Money doesn't buy happiness. It is one of the MANY things that money cannot buy. Health being the second.
Running a business is not the same as running a country. You can't fire the poor or the elderly or the handicapped.
Oh, wait....maybe Romney/Ryan are going to try!
WELL, AT LEAST ROMNEY WILL ENJOY IT! I think Ryan will, too. That seems to be their plan.
How can you fire someone you haven't hired in the first place?
I haven't heard any republican say the government needs to turn a profit?
They just want to end the deficits. That is what is killing the people, they interest payments are eating up everything, and then there will be nothing for anyone.
Gut you would love for china to take over and put a bullet in your head if they don't like you.
Those pesky founders, how dare they make political speech above the governments power to silence you. You don't have to vote just because Ed tells you to. It is still a secret ballot, obama hasn't ended that one yet.
Slack 2.7 : If the Repubs didn't start 2 wars without budgetting how to pay for, we wouldn't have this huge debt. Now President Obama is trying to resolve that: Raise taxes for people who earns 1 mil +, that will provide employments for so many, will improve our infra that means will prevent cost for damages, etc. etc. Why Repubs are blocking that ???? All they want is to do on the back of middle class, poor, disables and others. DON"T YOU AGREE AT A TIME LIKE NOW, THE RICH PEOPLE SHOULD SHARE so we can get out of our debt ? IT IS A FAIR SHARE.
Pam52, Perhaps Cory Booker, who is a quick learner, learned a good bit about the GOP when they put him immediately in an anti-Obama ad.
He deserved that lesson. If I were Obama I'd find a new, loyal surrogate, not a "Kim Philby" type like Cory.
India (#2.6) :
BULLS EYE !!! ... BINGO !!!
BTW, "THEY" did actually treat America like a "bidness," if U recall... didn't Dubya get PLENTY bidness experience running things into the ground B 4 he "gradiated" 2 the oval office ?? ( his failed oil and baseball exploits)
He and his repo party were soo skillful at running America into the ground, with THEIR VERSION of Kapitalism... that we now find ourselves down at the bottom of a Grand Canyon sized economic crater... and ONLY creative use of the "commons" ( which includes evolving our economy into a hybrid of true, well regulated capitalism AND socialism -- allowing for at least 20 or 30 percent of Americans to work in horizontally oriented cooperative businesses ) will save us ... AND OUR SEVERELY STRESSED PLANET.
AND WHERE HAS SLACKWARE been hiding these past 31 years ??
He thinks that no repo party politicians ever said (or thought) that government needs 2 turn a profit ?? ... HELLO ?? !!! anyone in there ?? [knocking on an empty skull ] ... Slackwarerobert, whut do u think the most recent repo party administration ( the reign under Dubya ) did when it came 2 "waging" [pun intended] war ??
We "PRIVATIZED" the F*** out of it !! UNLIKE w/some profiteering that went on during WW II, the war on Afghanistan then Iraq following 9-11 wuz FORCING normal gov't functions during war time 2 BECOME PRIVATIZED.
THAT IS 2 SAY, we "OUTSOURCED" many support functions to PRIVATE INDUSTRY, like Halliburton !! THEY (the repo party businessmen) OVERCHARGED AMERICA (that is 2 say, individual American taxpayers, some of whom had family "serving" in the military out of ECONOMIC NECESSITY ) and thus BANKRUPTED AMERICANS !!
"THEIR" idea of government "showing a profit" is as about as PERVERTED as YOUR THINKING.
DO US ALL A FAVOR. KEEP YOR UNINFORMED, DUMBASS OPINIONS 2 YOURSELF for the next THREE MONTHS, while U EDUCATE YOURSELF...I'll keep it simple 4 U... visit the non-profit, educational Pacifica foundation website, Democracynow.org and simply listen to and/or view host Amy Goodman's daily, one hour radio / TV / internet / podcast on national and international news, events and issues.
OBVIOUSLY, you're NOT paying attention 2 Rachel, Ed, or Lawrence on MSNBC, nor anyone over at Current TV, FSTV or LINK TV.
Maybe U will B inspired by some of the guests and their SOCIAL ACTIVIST CAUSES AND ORGANIZATIONS.
Other than THAT, I can only pray 4 U... butt, I can't guarantee it'll work being I'm an agnostic and recovering Catholic.
Romney cares about people but the people he cares about is the 1% like him. He does not care about the poor......they have a saftey net that he and Ryan will take apart
Yeah... but of course, that's because Mitt knows those are the important people that matter. Sort of like how the GOP knows that the only TRUE AMERICANS are Repugs and TEApugs.
NOT.
So what was his evil intentions in saving the olympics? He gave up the chance to fire all those steel workers by leaving to save it.
He couldn't hurt anyone if the government hadn't grabbed up all that power they are not supposed to have. obama can just get reid to pass all those cuts to his power and romney will be a toothless figure head with no power to hurt anyone.
SLACKWARE (#3.2) :
Do U know how utterly STUPID U sound ??
U R bass-ackwards in yor syntax with the first 2 sentences. U make NO SENSE. I wuz almost EMBARRASSED 4 U, while I tried 2 read it.
AND the last paragraph IS A DISASTER !! "He couldn't hurt anyone if the government hadn't grabbed up all that power they are not supposed to have."
First of all, who is "He" and whut specific EVENT R U referring 2 when U cite "grabbed up" and who R "they".
I almost feel sorry 4 U... it's like watching a goldfish twitching on a table, next to a water filled glass bowl. Painful. I want 2 toss U back into the water where U belong, but U mite have suffered irreparable damage by now.
4 Christ sake, if U think that a "toothless figure head with no power ..." is a goal of the executive branch, U need 2 go back to school.
BTW, only AFTER I finished the next to last paragraph above, did yor contorted english start making sense. A Friendly Hint: it makes 4 more efficient interaction if the folks who read yor wurds can UNDERSTAND yor thoughts without having 2 REREAD yor wurds OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER...
Profit should be Romney's middle name. He made it his life's career. The only way he would make jobs is if someone made a profit. That's cutting unions, pensions, health care. A leopard does not change his spots. I heard him say Bain was along time ago well he sure has been living on the Ritz ever since and lavished him self in the spoils of those he took it from. He can"t run and He can"t hide from his glowing resume with Bain Capitol !!!!
Cory Booker has a whole lot to learn,
Mitt Romney believes it's his turn...
What Mitt learned at Bain
Is spreading the pain -
He loves fire when there's money to burn...
David, Good evening its wonderful to see you here. I hope those that would follow him blindly take off those rose colored glasses and really ask themselves what could a man with vast wealth ever do for me?The answer absolutely nothing!When you are of that caliber you only surround your selves with those who are like you. You can"t be seen with the homeless man on the street or at soup kitchen. Hell heaven for bid you dirty your self with those who are beneath you. He can never be one of us ! He can never feel the pain of ordinary man. All he can do it say whats written for him! Wasn't it Poppy Bush who said "READ MY LIPS!"
Mitt would cause the whole country to fall
As long as he made money off it all...
He considers friends and mentors
All the rich One-Per-Centers
And all others as worthless who bawl...
david m. johnson i just love your little diddys
Romney's record shows how he's a vulture
Who devours comp'nies, unions and culture...
He eats jobs and pensions
Amid rising tensions,
Leaving bones and lives dropped in the mulcher...
David You are on roll tonight. With Romney comes a wealth of material to write about. We the middle class are like dirt under his shoes. He will be Corporate and Chief if elected and there will be only two classes of people. The aristocrats and the peasants. They will laugh and scoff at anything beneath them. They say they want smaller Govt. Hog wash they want to rule and take everything away. The kings and Queens of old had harsh rules for the Peasants and that bunch will be no diffident! All of America will get a pink slip from Romney and we revolt Marshall law will be declared !
David J
All those are good ones.... Describing Mutt's making funds.... His business experience to a tee.... Considered valid by GOP... Vulture tactics the 99% shuns.
Damn.... my verses didn't post right.
Pam, #4.6 They've forgotten these words of wisdom, : "What profiteth a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?"
India...
A sentiment I paraphrased in #20.3...
David, Yes, I just went and looked that up. You sure did, and a good post, as well! (As usual)!
Hope this good weather has you feeling good. I've actually been sleeping with the windows open. My next door neighbour has a fountain by her pool, and the sound of the water falling lulls me to sleep!
David M. Johnston :
I second THAT emotion... yor poetic gifts show a devotion to healing the exasperation I often feel with bouts of resignation, trying 2 survive in this crazy ass nation, populated by the likes of Slackware, Newt and the memory of Ronald-the-Clown RayGUN.
peace 2 U my talented, inspired, inspiring brother frum another muther. :>)
Willard Mitt Romney will claim that by looking out for the profits of the corporations, he IS caring for the people...since he claims that "corporations are people"!
Of course, he's only referring to the OWNERS of the corporation....not their employees.....or their contractors....
So where does he invest that profit......oooops I see Japan and China.......
http://uk.reuters.com/article/2011/06/21/us-japan-summit-bain-idUKTRE75K0XE20110621
and of course the shareholders......the other 1 per cent.....i worked for a company that was taken over by a bunch such as this....we were in good shape, maybe too good which caught their eye....they bled us dry while trying to prop up another company that they were borrowing heavily against on.....when they were done...all of the companies they had tied to the scheme were dismantled and shuttered
....thousands laid off, pensions and savings gone all int he name of not capitalism but greed.
@parchedgoose,
What's the matter? Did you forget the names of these companies? I would like to do a litte fact check on your story, but I can't when you don't divuldge the company names.
And why did you sell him your stock? You could have just taken the money and not given him the power to destroy you. Or refused his help.
Thankful mom, Cool new avatar!
Every time I get angry with the cat, one of my lighthouses pops up. He got out the door last night and went under a neighbour's porch. We finally got him, all dirty and dusty.
Black Manx for sale: 2 cents will take him. Worth less but I like to make at least a small profit.
Just because mitt made a fortune with investments doesn't mean he has a clue how to get the economy going.
He's still lifting his leg and barking something about trickle down economics.
I don't like what's trickling down.
He could KEEP what's trickling down.
@fore hey look out
Why let's SEND it back to him with a little bow on it!
Bain Capital gave Cory Booker a half a million dollars. Greed turns a hero to a zero.
which is why booker said what he said
Janet, That's good to know. Wasn't this the man who save a woman from a fire few weeks ago and now hes fell clear off the ladder? Your right money can change a person and Corry Booker is a big fat Zero !!!!
Bain Capital invest in what?......http://www.infowars.com/bain-capital-owns-clear-channel-rush-limbaugh-sean-hannity-glenn-beck-michael-savage-etc/
Thankful, Good evening. That was some eye opening reading. Explains why Rush and Fox hold Romney on a pedestal. Hes about as far from Bain Capitol as his shadow. He and companies like these work in the shadows. They hire mussel like those who walked the workers out were armed guards. People had better do there home work and be engaged in the truth and not the lip service from Fox or Rush. Romney needs to open his shirt like Super man I bet his has Bain Capitol on it. I signed up for there news letter. I urge every one read the Link Thankful has posted.
Took a break from the endless bickering...guess nothing has changed.
Amazing...another lame poll question. Same endless theme...with no solutions.
Nothing I say or do will change the facts that the system is rigged against the less fortunate and those that play by the rules.
That in the "name of religion" zealots can determine what I can and can not do.
No one can bring my out-sourced job back to this country.
Nor, change the fact that the system is broken/rotten. And as evidence by the "W" first election/enthronement my vote does not count.
Well, I had better stop....getting too angry and depressed. Best of luck to all.
Maybe I will feel more hopeful in a couple of days/weeks....
Joy, Don't give up we need all the fighters we can get here. Look at it this way Romney is the head of the dog which is the GOP and TEA Party chasing there tail. We want to bite them for all they have done to this country in the name of profit and wealth. I have no problem with those who have worked hard for there wealth but i have a major problem with those in Washington who above all cost throw the middle class to the wolves and want to take more. When is enough , Enough?
Joy: "Well, I had better stop....getting too angry and depressed. Best of luck to all. Maybe I will feel more hopeful in a couple of days/weeks...."
I took a two-three week break and just came back more P/Oed than I was. Yet I did gain some calm along with more determination.
RepublicanFASCISM MUST BE BROKEN UP like iceburgs broke the Titanic.
Take a break and come back with a rhetorical baseball bat!!!
Miss your posts Robert! Take care!!!
Let's Roll out the red carpet for Obama/Biden in 2012
Joy take whatever time you need! We will keep up the good fight. As it has been said anything worth having is worth fighting for!
Hope to see again! Be well and live long and prosper. V
Joy, You are welcome to move with me to the Isle of Man if Romney is elected. LOL
Which, after the debates, he won't be. Obama will show him up for the dangerously ill-informed person he is. Not to mention the type of character, (or LACK thereof) which Romney has.
When people wake up to the sheer brutality of the Ryan budget, which Romney supports, he can't possibly win. No one wants to see food taken from the mouths of children. And that is only one of the things that budget would do. Romney called it MARVELOUS!
robme only cares about himself
RobMe is the name of Mitt's game & boy he's in the top 1% when it comes 2 playing it!!!
Whatever jobs Mitt "created" were the employees that had their retirements looted and then hired back at minimum wage with no benefits. Not exactly the kind of job creating we need.
Janet, I think Romney can hold to the tittle of Job Destroyer!
I want to know EXACTLY what Romney's policies are, EXACTLY
how he is going to create jobs and EXACTLY how he is going to turn he economy
around. Just standing there saying words without anything to back them is not
working for me, neither is that he will tell us after he's elected.
He has signed the Ryan Bill so no matter what he says to the
people he is going to do what he is told by big business. Today the GOP has
voted to END Medicare.
Bush's policies of cutting taxes for the wealthy has already
been tried and they don't work
Romney doesn't have a messege for the average American...he's said nothing so far except give more tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires.
How did he sign the Ryan Bill?
He holds no public office at this time.
Easynan,
That's a well kept secret.
Everything else has hit the fan. His overseas money. How he made his wealth. The dog, the trees, the lakes, the car elevator, his wife $900 blouse, his religion, his grand-daddy wives & of course his trucks & Ann's cars ( fully loaded ).
@Easyman
Romney's polices will be the exact same as W's. Exact same that's why we cannot let him win. That's why we must work very hard for Obama/Biden 2012!
That why we must converse we need to let people know that this country will go into reverse if Flip Robme wins.

thee hee heee, funny ...
... and 'funny' how so soon, soo easily we can forget seemingly unrelated bits and pieces of Mitt Robbery's This Is Your Life !!
It's HIS life, or whut ever U call it when we're dealing with a profit-seeking, cold-blooded, lying sack of s***.
thanks 4 the reminder, Phyllis :>)
I think he said he will stop the government from killing jobs like it does now.
Now if he continues using it as a club against whoever doesn't donate to him like obama does now, that will be wrong and bad, but definitely not different.
As apposed to obamas idea of bankruptcy to end all programs including medicare? Ryan budget is a pipe dream, and won't do anything for 40 years.
But if the senate would pass a budget we can fix it into something the people will like.
Peersen,
LOL!!!
U R welcome.

AT the risk of us sounding like a mutual admiration society,I have been meaning 2 THANK YOU 4 the way U conduct yourself sometimes with these repo party minion, who conduct drive-by, hit and run, empty calorie comments.
Yor ACTIVE(as opposed to "liberal" passive) voice, rings thru LOUD, STRONG...AND CLEAR --- as in Jack Nicholson's Col. Nathan R. Jessep "Are we CLEAR ? "
It's ABSOLUTELY SO REFRESHING to read informed posts / replies to repo party minion posts that show a NO NONSENSE, get right to the point message when required. .. in the tradition of what I like 2 call the Adam Green progressive.
YOU, my fellow lib, R worthy of such an honorific title, as R several other lib posters here, like suzette.
U R an example of how possible it is 2 B "nice" and engaging, while NOT being a "pushover"... my hat's off 2 U my dear.
It's posters like U, Thankful Mom, suzette, India and David M. Johnston for example, that light the way BY EXAMPLE, modeling the way for those among the less inspired, more contentious on how to conduct oneself in civil society--even on a blog platform, where relative anonymity encourages the worst traits in the repo party minion.
paraphrasing the wurds of Clint's Dirty Harry and Ronald RayGUN, "U make my day."
keep it up. :>)
Greed is the only thing Romney understands.
Romney doesn't give a damn about people. If he did, would Bain have laid off all those people?
Can a company ignore a bankruptcy court order to close the doors?
I think it is against the law for a company to make people come to work and not pay them also. So letting them go and find paying work is the better than working for no pay.
I know obama can ignore court orders, beak the law, and fire people, but I think a company, and it's people can't do the same.
Rush Limbaugh attacked Bill Clinton For a decade saying, "Character Matters!". (You can find the clips)
I wonder if Limbaugh still thinks that character matters and that we should examine Romney's character.
Profits. What else? He loves firing people. Where's the "duh" button?
Amazing the Republican playbook was to hire a literate African Americans to spread their poison to bring down the President and Mayor Booker did it for free.
Republicans believe that all is fair, use lies, use hate, and win at ALL COST!
and the sheeple will follow....the same ones that buy tabloids at checkout are the ones the GOP will help decide the future of the country.......its not funny anymore
Unfortunately that's the GOD AWFUL truth.
The only people he pretends to care about are the ones who will give him lots more money.
gw has put his crayons to good use and is writing a book about economics. Romeny will probably use it for his plan because it is not too long.
I read a quote on Facebook that "George W Bush writing a book on economics is like Rush Limbaugh teaching a gender sensitivty class". I think that about sums it up! Romney will do whatever the corporate masters/Republican Party tells him to do, as long as he thinks he can get something out of it. Even if it means walking the GWB economic plank again!
It is a real intelligent book. He wore his crayons down to the nub and had to tare the paper off. It starts with a forward written by Jeb bush, I suppose everyone else was too busy. Chad was hanging around in florida and got punched. For a person who never was elected president he has a nerve.
Romney and the rest of the Repubs only care about money. It's always dollars before people and the environment for them.
Yea, just like obama cutting off the water supply so the farmers loose their crops and must go on food stamps instead of raising food, hiring workers, and feeding the world. Amazing how he got obama to do his dirty work for him.
Abolish the fed reserve, and get rid of the fed currency, now romney will have no money, except that he was smart enough to keep offshore accounts in other countries that still have it.
There is a double-standard: When Romney blasts Pres. Obama's credentials, it's fair game. Once again he 'flips' when HIS background for one of the most important races in American is questioned. Total hipocracy!!!!
As a CEO, Romney cared only about profits- now he's running for office so he cares about people-just another flip-flop.
Isn't that the primary goal of a company, Profit? If a company can not make a profit then everyone is out of a job.
No, a CEO should not make "his" profits the goal, but instead the good of the people, his employees and clients.
Bruce...
A thief makes a profit by stealing from other people...
Should all companies be thieves?
What does it profit a company to gain the whole world but lose the soul of every man connected to it?
So isn't the safe bet to elect romney so he can't control all these evil vulture capitalist firms? They would have to be put in a blind trust. That would stop him.
Put him on a meager $500K a year job, and enjoy watching him suffer.
Last year, Bain Capital sent Romney a check for $21 Million, for doing Nothing... Do You figure they will stop doing so, just because he's the PRESIDENT?
David, Sure they will, they realize full well what a drastic pay cut being president would be for poor Willard. They're all heart. LOL
