GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney offered few new policy details in his speech at the Virginia Military Institute, choosing instead to zero in on the upheaval in the Middle East. Meanwhile, two polls present different NBC's Peter Alexander reports.
29 days until the election and Mitt Romney uses fear and lying to get votes, but Ed won’t get away with it!
Tonight, Ed welcomes retired Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff at the State Department during Gen. Colin Powell’s term, and currently the Pamela Harriman visiting professor at the College of William and Mary, to analyze Romney’s scare tactics, his bad ideas and the desire to return to the bungled foreign policy of George W. Bush.
Republicans continue to push conspiracy theories on Friday’s jobs numbers. The Nation's Ari Melber joins Ed to discuss the GOP’s alternate reality.
Female legislators could gain several seats in the U.S. Senate this November. We'll look at why women are leading in the some key races with Michelle Goldberg, Senior contributing writer, Newsweek & The Daily Beast NY, and Keli Goff, author (“The GQ Candidate”) and Political Correspondent for TheRoot.com.
Fox news is backing up Mitt Romney's $5 trillion tax lie. Ed will talk with E.J. Dionne, a Senior Fellow at The Brookings Institution and Washington Post columnist, about that and much more.
And in the Big Finish, a new study reveals the impact that voting restrictions would have on the state's African-American community. Sen. Nina Turner (D-OH) joins Ed live in the studio!

The GOP/RNC "War Hawk and Chief" has no new Foreign Policy ideas of his own. He wants the continuation of the failed "Bush Doctrine." That is obvious America!
Hey Woolard defended France during the Vietnam war and not one attack happened there! He's WAR HERO ZERO!
XXX Now I know why they disliked us so much when I was there in 89. And PRO-11, I can,t agree with you more on post#3, he want's to increase the USMC by 100k, and the CMC has stated that he doesn't want that to be done, So who know's better the JCS or Romney?
Romney doesn't know squat, about anything.
I don't suppose Ed will be taking up the fight for public sector employees anymore. What Rhode Island, Illinois, California, and about 20 other states are doing is worse than what Governor Walker tried to do. But then, these states are ran by democrats. And Ed is only interested if it is a republican going against a union.
Who wrote this speech for the GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief?" Was it "Chump-Change-Cheney?" Was it "Brainless Bush?" Was it Ms. Rice? One thing is for sure. The GOP/RNC "Flip-Flopper" sure did not.
I think romney has gone rogue.......I know I was up chucking all the way through it. What a jewel, the republican pary has. More like a lump of coal.
Thankful Mom I think you mean he is a Cubic Zirconia which means he is a phony!!!
The GOP/RNC "Spender and Chief" wants to increase Defense spending on weapons. That the military has not even asked for! Who is going to pay for it America? Well it sure will not be the top 1% of Americans. Not when the GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief" wants to cut the taxes on the top 1% of Americans by 20%. The GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief" wants to get our nation involved into the Civil Wars of other nations! Who is going to pay for it?
Well it sure will not be mittons paying for anything, and he'll be hiding out his money and his lower lip will be quivering, and he won't be found until it is over.
Can anyone say BOMB BOMB IRAN!!!!!!!!!! Is RoBME"S NEW TUNE !!!!!!!!! You Betcha it is!!!!!!!!! This NUT was in Virginia today!!!!! I can tell you this by his body language he is itching to BOMB IRAN!!!!!!!! or any other Middle East Country that gets in his way!!!!!!

I would hate to have another Draft-Dodger as Commander-In-Chief.
Especially Romney. He used four deferments and religion to live it up in France during Nam.
He used to violate the law (felonies?) by dressing up in a Michigan State Police Trooper uniform, driving around and pulling drivers over with a red police light. and intimidating and bullying them.
Romney is a total reprobate coward.

Paul, are you calling Bill Clinton a draft dodger? That's not very nice. Better watch out you will be banned for calling Monica Lewinsky's boyfriend a draft dodger
Now what branch of the military did oBama serve in?? I can't remember...
What article did oBama ever right for the Harvard Law Review? Oh he didn't write an article for the Harvard Law Review did he. Sorry I asked that one..
Did he ever go to court as a lawyer? Yes, he sued a bank that wouldn't loan money to people who couldn't afford to pay it back for house loans. He prevailed at that.
How did he get into Harvard and Columbia? Axelrod will never tell, those records are locked up tight in a safe in Chicago.
Now thats a jewel for you...
tell us what 'draft' The President dodged? Also, what war did he demonstrate for before going to france for his 'religion'.
He sued a bank for illegally denying loans to people based on the color of their skin rather than ability to pay; is my guess. I don't know and neither do you...
He got into Columbia and Harvard on his grades and SATs; jealous!
I'm an Independent Voter.
I never voted for Clinton. But I like him as Explainer-In-Chief.
And I think President Obama is doing an exception job as Commander-In-Chief!
Undeclared wars and entanglements used to run up Defense budgets must be stopped. Using our lower classes as cannon-fodder to jack the defense budget is unconscionable.
Lois,
If you can provide oBama's grades or SAT scores there is a $100K reward for that, but I bet you can't. and I didn't call anyone a draftdodger, Paul did.
Now the facts of the legal suit they are public record and available if you would care to look. He was just helping those people beat the bad ole bank so they could move into a house they couldn't afford, it was all the rage back then.
My intent was to reference Clinton and Romney.
ts is getting his misinformation from the ACORN pimps sugar daddies site even though he dropped dead. ts is so misinformed he believes Wal Mart was on the May Flower and started the colonies with Wal Mart super stores so the US would have a business to shop at when King George granted the colonies freedom to start their own country.
Great guest Ed! He was informative, honest and intelligent.!
And full of BS.
I guess a lot of these viewers still have their blinders on if, They can still put vote in for lier Mitt. He is one crooked character. I am SOOOOO glad we want have him as president in 2012.
Ed,
Why does no one talk about Romney's religion, he gives 10% of his income to the church, did he take it as a deduction. Will we ever see his taxes
You know Texas Scarborough, get the facts or just be quiet. You must be a relative of Morning Joe.
Joe is my cousin, how did you know?
Kick the ball down the road that has rung in my ears the 1st time I heard it with the 47% tape.As I stated before this man is a COWARD and the col.is right you will never find any any member of his family in harms way.Just like he did during the Vietnam war they will bask on the beaches in France.That loser Trump is just that a loser he wants the jerk in so he can cash in just like his other wealthy donors they are not doing it for the love of romney.FYI Ann is going to co host on good morning America well there goes there ratings what is with ABC they kept palin on for ratings but I think that might have back fired I haven't watched dancing with the stars for 2 years.
What frightens me is that many people think they are voting for a "brand" not an actual person. How can you vote for a person who changes their CORE beliefs...pro-choice 2002, pro-life 2012? First he is against the 47 percent, then he is for them. I am getting whiplash from watching Mr. Romney. I am so upset about the lack of integrity, I have switched my party affiliation from independent to Democratic. The Democrats at least say what they mean, mean what they say, and agree with them or not, stick to their principles.
ED I'm wAtching your show right now and your GUEST had it right.These are all the BUSH people,and he called it right,they want to go to war sending your children not thiers.I was proud of that gentleman he called them what ive been calling them all along (YELLOW) and im going to keep saying it mittsy send your five sons first.
If this country is going to have any national security, we must keep on the upward economic spiral President Obama has initiated. While the growth is not as robust as we would like, we are still making progress. Lets not buy into the pie in sky promises by Willard Romney, as did the good people of Massachusetts. The job growth in that state was ranked 47th during Willard's term as governor.
War would depend on which Romney woke up that morning. So many possibilites with a dissociative personality disorder. The Many Faces of Mitt
No you will never see his taxes because he has to much to hide.This is a subject that should never be dropped either he thinks it has died but he is going to take good care of yours trust him he says & along with the 47% and many other tapes that you can find on you tube.I am beginning to think there is something going on in his church to he won't discuss that either.I don't know any other church that you cannot get in the door unless you are a member.Ryan has a cross to bear also hey you welfare 30% can't wait to see what they are going to do put all these along with all the homeless veterans on the street.I have never seen such a shameless group as republicans not all but most.For you doubters or haters I don't form my opinion on media I am basing it on actual videos.I am astounded everyday with the racism greed lies manipulation just for personal gain & war mongers.They do not have this country at heart.
When it comes to foreign policy, Mitt Romney is just plain scary! And he has surrounded himself with scary men from the Bush administration, all of whom would send more of our young men and women into war and more war. He has no experience, is less informed than the average lay person and has no idea how to present himself as a Statesman.
mitt romney is the biggest liar he does not know how to tell the truth. He wants to be president so he can out source more jobs and run the country in the ditch like george bush oh my how people forget when bush left office we were suffering and now that things are looking up. Here comes mitt trying to take us back to bush days wake up people don't let mitt fool you into voting for him. GO
OBAMA-BIDEN
-Yahoo failed to convince his people to go to war with Iran, he came to the U.S. and wanted us to go to war for him, but he was turned down by the POTUS.
- Meat Money criticized the President Obama about for refusing to meet with Yahoo and the president said - I am the President, I will follow the US constitution to protect our country and the American people!
- Here are few of Meat Money's advisors : "Say No No", this guy did nothing when he was gov of NH. "Jack Ask" after government make him clean up the mess at GE, now he made a statement without facts! "Donal Dug" from birther to expert in numerical nanalysis!
- BOTTOM LINE:
ROMNEY: WAR and GW's policy repeat!
OBAMA: PEACE and Prosperity!
It does not matter what is your affiliation, just VOTE DEMOCRAT for US and future generations!

Romney's ideal is to start another war, cut taxes on the wealthy job creaters too pay for it. Oh, I forgot, your kids will be on the front line, his is pursueing their carears
Johnny- it's important to call silly where one sees it. You're silly.
- Bill "Oreally" factor suggested to his listenners not to listen to the VP debate comming up on this Thursday evening! Why, he was afraid that VP Biden will tell people all the LIES which Romney said in the 1st Presidential debate! Well if anyone remembers when the NY taxis drivers offerred Bill Oreally free ride to the airport so he can volunteer to fight the WMD war which he was promoted and scared people that Iraq would use the WMD to the US! ... Now you know the rest of the story!
Didn't Obama basically say the same thing when he asked people to go vote early, before the debates? Good decision on his part, huh? Also,do you think Romney's VP will likewise fallout Obama's lies?
Is there anyway we could send the following to all voters?
- ROMNEY -> WAR & TAX THE MIDDLE CLASS
- OBAMA -> PEACE & PROPERITY FOR THE US
If man should have learned anything from war, is that he does not have the intelligence, or possibly, the desire to avoid it. It is, indeed, a detriment to all of mankind that our ersatz world leaders(?), and aspiring leaders,suffer such intellectual impairment! Perhaps the wits -at least the half they have left to them, of these self -styled world leaders would be sharpened in opposition to such conflicts, if they, its instigators, as well as those who espouse and Vote for war - as Romney, and, particularly, those who profit from it, were required by Law to be in the front lines of all of its ensuing battles.
If there was ever such a Law, we would soon see and end to all wars!

"Fear" is the great motivator. But it is not the "Fear" that is being promoted that we should "Fear". It is the one(s) utilizing that "Fear" to motivate that is to be Feared!
