We are witnessing the corporatization of our country. The Citizens United Supreme Court decision has allowed the RepubliCONS to buy America. Truth has never been the RepubliCONS trademark; but, blatant racism is front center as demonstrated by Romney's kissing Donald Trump's rump! Across America we are seeing RepubliCON governors enact the suppression of the Latino, black, and senior citizen's vote. It is time to get active and expose these racists for what their real "family values" are!
Rich white family values..Toting a bible flag and gun! The tea party fools have been had and they don't even know it!

A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.

A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.

A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.
Mahatma Gandhi
A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.
Mahatma Gandhi
A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.

A policy is a temporary creed liable to be changed, but while it holds good it has got to be pursued with apostolic zeal.

Wouldn't it be great if Willard would speak out against the registered voter purge in Florida? Fat chance. He can't even stand up to the birther carnival barker.
"Thirty years after drafting the US Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson warned of the dangers posed by the corporation, writing of the need to "crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country." Today, instead, the aristocracy of the corporation has grown to full maturity, wielding power over the state and its laws in the service of corporate aims." ~ Ben Manski
The dream of crowning Romney is only a formality....not required.
Kathe/Tacoma - Your absolutely clueless the world around you!
Word.
From a guy who believed the fairy tale told to him by an insane demented doddering old fool now wants to claim fairy land is the real world. Here is a clue the wealthy do not give golden handouts to those they believe they are better then, they just use you to get all they can then kick you to the curb when they can no longer use you.
As I write this, the T-party controlled house is about to pass another unnecessary bill: They want to ban gender based abortions, something which as far as I know is non-existent in this country. They imagine that women, especially Asian American women, are aborting their female children, and this bill would stop that.
The stress and emotional pain this will cause doctors is truly terrible. It will be expensive and time consuming as they will have to monitor the sex of the fetus their patient is carrying, and if it is female and the woman needs an abortion for some real reason, such as rape, she won't be able to get it.
We pay these idiots to sit around and dream up this BS while the economy may be on the verge of faltering thanks to their obstructionism.
And half the country wants to keep the status quo? Have we lost our minds? I cannot believe the election is still so close. I just cannot believe it.
Romney is just evil. He wants to take over the United State. He only cares about the rich. He's willing to leave the middle class in the dust. The working poor don't stand a chance. This is to much like a nightmare.
Speaking of Food Stamps. When people get food stamps. Anyone that knows how the system works. Would know that it's base on your income. Which should tell you that the people on Food Stamps. Their not earning enough income in order to survive. Lets not forget that the working poor may be eligible for food stamps.
Given the appropriate description of "Rominomics" as Bush-32's Economic Plan on steroids (as described by Pres. Clinton), and the present concerns that the recovery from the Great Recession is so feeble that a double-dip recession can't be ruled out, presuming that we continue on the Road to Recovery started by Obama.
Considering that the USA's economic stability is so precarious, the Volatility of the Eurozone doesn't help. If Obama is reelected, he'll continue to push for Fairness; for the recovery of the Middle Class, with the intent being a sufficient majority of the population having enough discretionary income to drive a demand-driven Market Economy enough that Corporate America and the Small Business Owners will have to hire more employees to satisfy the additional demand.
On the other hand, if Romney were to be elected, he'd likely have a sufficiently cooperative Congress to push through enough of his "Rominomics" plan to activate the steroids. That would stop our recovery and further stress the Eurozone. Then the double-dip would be unavoidable, with one terribly important difference:
The more I hear from Liberals...the stranger and stranger they seem. 3+ years into this Hussein Obama STINKING economy where the welfare and food stamp rolls have ballooned, the loony left speaks to how bad things WILL GET. Are you people blind as a bat and deaf as a post as to the situation around you? And people on here worried about ending welfare? And you need to change your name Chuck...much higher than "Cosmic" pal. the Eurozone is crashing around us,and Hussein Obama does his best to emulate the failure that is Europe...GREAT PLAN. This guy has screwed up so pathetically, he is months away from being swept out of office by a very weak candidate thanks to his colossal bungling of the economy. Face it Liberals...the way to get a liberal OUT of office ....is to put one in office. HE will do the rest of the work.
Word.
And Scott, the psuedo-intellectual, continues to babble his inane ivory-tower nonsense.
SCOTT -Scott - After reading all these post from Hope, Suzie, Billie and who ever. These people who believe everything from this Ed, is such a Propaganda White wash for an administration that has done absolutely NOTHING. The billions Obama has spent on his Green jobs is an economic disaster and with tax payers money which put us further in debt. Soleyndra, Razor Tech, on and on. Obama had complete control of the house and Senate for two years and did Nothing for you people on this forum. Each and every one answer this one question, and not one of you can give me a straight answer other than saying ,"It's fox Propaganda. " I'm sure that's going to put food in your mouth. Then you'll come up with the Horse S#%^# well he Inherited Bushes Economic Failures. Which is Horse S@#&. If you really want the truth about the housing crisis her are the facts. Look them up Libs it's public from Newsweek thru U.S News Services.
Jimmy Carter pushed for and signed into law the Community Reinvestment Act, which forced banks to lower their standards so that previously unqualified people could get a mortgage!
Then Bill Clinton doubled-down on the same act and greatly lowered mortgage standards further to get even more unqualified borrowers to get more loans!
Clinton's minion, Janet Reno, the then-attorney general, intimidated banks with threats of legal action if they didn't give loans to unqualified borrowers who would not have the income to pay the loans back!
Franklin Raines, Clinton's administration member, was put in charge of Fannie Mae! Fannie bought up most of the bad loans made by the banks (under pressure) to unqualified borrowers! Raines then falsified Fannie Mae's financial reports so he could collect bonuses which totaled over $90 million for five years!
Nearby, Sen. Chris Dodd, head of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, suppressed efforts by President George W. Bush (and the GOP Congress) to rein in the corruption at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac! Dodd also got a favorable loan from a bank connected to Mae and Mac! Also, he got a large contribution from Mae and Mac! (For his campaign, they say.)
Even closer, Rep. Barney Frank of the House Financial Services Committee who was the True Architect for the destruction of Fannie and Freddie let alone the hole housing economy suppressed efforts (as Dodd did and does) by Bush and Republicans to, again, investigate corruption by Mae and Mac!
Finally, President Barack Obama, as a lawyer, filed lawsuits against banks for ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) to force banks to give loans to people who (again) could not afford to pay them back! ACORN is a radical activist group. Obama (as a senator) suppressed efforts (again) by Bush and the GOP to investigate and rein in Fannie and Freddie!
So now you know why are Banking system and National Debt is so SCREWED up. = LOSS JOBS................. And Franks wants Regulators on Banks that he took down HIMSELF. Obama has not given one solution how to drive down unemployment. He can't, he doesn't know how. Bill Clinton said it best. HE'S AN AMETUER.

Fairy tale time gather around, listen my children and you will hear the insane rantings from a president that was mentally ill. For 34 years his believers believed that they would gain wealth beyond their wildest dreams instead they found out they were deceived. So instead of damning the great deceivers they blamed those that refused to be deceived by great wealth because they knew it was best to give and not receive.
Take a look around, the middle class is being wiped out by obama, he wants everyone to be on food stamp and SEC 8 housing.
Stup- I agree what your saying. Instead of taking care of business. Obama says to himself. "I'll deal with it tomorrow. Lets play eighteen holes."
Word.
You'd rather have Romney play YOU.
The Real Chris. They would rather select against their own survival than see the truth about the Radical Right-Wing.
Hope, they must be mentally ill. To see things totally backwards is some kind of weird illness. Any sane person knows that Obama does not want people on food stamps and in sec. 8 housing. That's so nuts, I hate to even respond to it.
I am getting so tired of this BS. I may have to take a break from the vine. It's becoming a circus thanks to this nonsense from the trolls.
Whom- Where are you? Any words of wisdom today. Hey, why doesn't Ed have Newt Gingrich on his show, Chris Matthews did. It was funny how Chris was walking on egg shells with Newt. Newt would of Torpedoed the silly questions like your Ed Show would of asked. Come on Ed, get Newt on your show. Might be a little over his head.
Newt would shred Ed...as crazy as Newt is, he is the "smart guy in the room", which is part of his problem (his hubris)...he is smart, and he knows it, and would love nothing more than to "show off" against the likes of the wanna-be intellectuals like Ed and Chris "Thrill" Matthews.
Word.
Takes a real smart guy like you to think Gingrich is smart.
actually, no it doesn't...thanks for the compliment, but thats the general word on the street, is that Newt is a sharp guy. doesn't make him a GOOD person, but smart??? thats not really up for debate...the guy is smart, but he is a scumbag, and likely a fascist...and Newt's ego is exceeded only by El Presidente's own ego...
LOL. Bingo The Real Chris !
Obama 2012 - 101 reasons why he will lose.
I don't agree with #87, but 100 out of 101 isn't bad. I really hate it. I wish it could have been different.

Word.
Here's another idiot. Let's see he's a Democrat. No he dropped out of the Democratic party and became a Republican. Then he dropped out of the Republican party and became an Independent. Well I don't know what he is and I don't think he does either, but he's a nut for sure. What gets me is the people interviewed in this video that don't have a mind of their own. I figured it out. He's a liberal.

Don't get me wrong. I don't agree with quite a few things the Republicans believe in either. Am what am I? I'm an individual.

I believe this was intentional. Hate to think that is true, but it is hard to accept people in Washington could be so ignorant.

Maybe someday I'll wake up and know the truth and not be blinded by the facts.
Word.
I think Obama's purpose is to destroy middle class, at least with Romney we can rest assure that middle class will get a boost!

Outlaw, You are on track with MSNBC. This is all these left wing radicals listen too. I happen to watch both FOX and MSNBC. FOX brings on the left and right however all MSNBC does is left wing pukes. FOX has Hannity and Orielly and Fox and friends who are definitly conservitive but the other news shows put on both sides. MSNBC got rid of Buchcanen. They can't handle the truth
We love America and Americans.
You pretend to love America and hate Americans.
Hope, If I pretended I would not have given 20 years of my life to the military and served in SE Asia during a very troubling time. But you hang on to your hate of conservitive Americans
Fate Of The American Middle Class Hangs In The Balance :
During his State of the Union address to the joint houses of Congress in January, President Barack Obama placed himself squarely on the side of the middle class that has been decimated since the economic meltdown of 2008 and a lingering recession. He argued that the economic inequities must be redressed and called on the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share.
Census data released in 2010 illustrates the depth of the problem. Poverty has exploded, and a record 46.2 million people are counted in that category. But when the near-poor and new poor are added, the number of Americans who live in poverty approaches 150 million. Blacks, Hispanics, children and seniors have been hit particularly hard.
