2012 Presidential Election: Romney vs. Obama

That's not a plan, that's political b.s. A plan explains details - like how will he do x y and z - not a magic bunch of empty promises that can't be done without crippling this country with even more debt.

Obama has offered 3 trillion is cuts in exchange for 1 trillion in increase revenue. The republicans turned that deal down.

Romney and company will put this country into a nasty place. It's too bad you don't understand that. The other posters here have tried to show you the light, but you simply do not even want to entertain their logical arguments. YOu are simply spewing brainwashed goop around here.

Use your brain, and then let's have a debate. Critically thinking isn't just spewing a bunch of lies. If you are going to do it this way you will just become another Trader w**** - hey what's it going to be?

 

Romney once again going after the working man.

What a shame. I understand what he's saying, and the child definitely deserves credit. But it's possible to credit the child without demeaning others who are involved and playing a role in the education enterprise.

 

I lived five miles from my elementary school. Bus drivers mean a lot especially when you miss the bus and had to walk.

 

LOL! exactly. They really do mean a lot when you live in a neighborhood where it's not safe to be outside and parents are often working during the hours before and after school because of the tough economics.

Either way, it's not cool to belittle them.

 

did kennedy ever show this disconnect from the general public?

 

Jack Kennedy? Not hardly. Few presidents in the modern era "connected" with the public as well as JFK did during his thousand days in office. FDR, of course, was a master, and Reagan wasn't too shabby at it, but Kennedy set a new standard that has yet to be matched. In my opinion.

 

This is how most republicans tend to argue. Perfect example of why the republican party needs to be wiped off the planet.

 

I don't think Clinton was bad at it either. Clinton came from more humble beginnings so he had a leg up, but it was great at "feeling the pain" of the general public.

God must not approve of the new GOP platform.

Tampa won't hesitate to pull the plug on the Republican National Convention next week if Tropical Storm Isaac threatens the Tampa Bay area as a major storm, Mayor Bob Buckhorn told CNN Wednesday morning.

 

Probably only if it's a "legitimate" hurricane...

 

that's their mantra according to giddy

 

We're in really big trouble if My Side doesn't win this election.

Looking over some recent polling results and it looks like the election is tightening a bit and Romney is gain a small bump from the Ryan pick, especially in WI where he is closing to within 2% of Obama. So far though things are favoring Obama with little major change.

What profit a man to win WI but lose FL, MI, OH, MO, VA?

Romney owns a stake in Sankaty Credit Opportunities L.P., a Delaware-based partnership. According to its financial statements, it had $201 million in assets in 2009 and a $52 million gain on the year-that's after a stunning $91 million loss in 2008. But what's interesting about Sankaty Credit Opportunities is that, according to his 2012 financial disclosure, Romney's interest in the entity was part of his retirement package: It was made "pursuant to an agreement with Bain Capital regarding Mr. Romney's retirement" in 1999. But according to its audited financial statement, Sankaty Credit Opportunities didn't exist yet when Romney retired: "Sankaty Credit Opportunities, L.P., is a Delaware limited partnership which commenced operations on August 12, 2002." In other words, Romney's 1999 retirement agreement included an investment in an entity created in 2002-in fact, was created in the heat of his first gubernatorial campaign in Massachusetts. When Romney explained at an October 29, 2002, debate in Massachusetts that he wasn't responsible for Bain's actions after his 1999 retirement, it was just 8 weeks after the creation by Bain of a fund that was part of his retirement agreement.

 

But Obama is a socialist.... :grin:

 

Hmm....... what ELSE is out there..

 

Not really all that surprised by the Bain info. Kinda like the naked Prince Harry party photos. It is the kind of stuff you think he does anyway.
