    Democrats flat-out lying? Noo. I don't believe it. I need proof.


    I don't blame the party for making up stuff as they go along. I blame the ones that have nothing to lose and a lot to gain by electing them into office.

    Cause free stuff is what America is all about.

    Track record. 3 wars. A gazillion dollars of unwanted debt under the Bush's rule and you're bringing up giving away free stuff?

    We're still looking for those weapons of mass destruction. LOL at people believing Dubya just bc he repeated it ad nauseum.

    On a side note, how is Obama going to recover from Donald Trump's knockout punch today?

    Hey sammy how is that 4 years and 5 trillion in debt treating you? How do you like the fact we spend more money now on welfare than on National Defense?

    The October 5 edition of "The Week" magazine predicted an 80% chance of Obama winning (page 19). I predict that not only will Romney win, but it will be by six percentage points in the popular vote. That's right, 47% won't vote for him. ;) There is one indisputable fact that all Political Scientists know; about 50% of eligible voters don't vote. If ANY portion of that group decide to not stay true to their pattern and do vote, they can determine the outcome, especially in a close election. I stood in line for over an hour to vote the other day; that has never happened in my lifetime and I have lived in this same community for over thirty years. Election night is going to be one interesting evening. I will be tuning in to MSNBC.

    I am an Independent/Libertarian, and I voted for Obama in 2008, not again. He did exactly what George Bush did, spent money like a drunken sailor. I am going to keep switching candidates until someone gets spending under control. It's Romney's chance.

    You're right. We need to spend more on defense. I'm sure you'll get your wish if Romney gets elected. It'll only be a matter of time before we go into another war and find a new country to pick on.

    Really, a GAZILLION?

    Is that more or less than the 6 Trillion on Obama's "rule"? You do know that all the presidents in the history of our great nation took 232 years to create 10 Trillion in debt. Obama created $6,000,000,000,000.00 in 4 years.

    Is there any chance at all that this president will ever stand up and take any responsibility for anything. His Presidency is a disaster and he is at fault for none of it?

    I would like to see somebody who "might" take some responsibility over four more years of the blame game. Hope and Change my A$$.

    Romney logic:

    "Obama hasn't fixed the economy in four years; I'm going to do it in 8 to 10"

    Please do.

    As much as I like Romney's plan to cut taxes, cut the deficit, and spend money on National Defense, that sounds like having my cake and eating it to.

    In case you missed it, the US had a financial crisis that Obama wasn't responsible for. He also inherited two wars and the Bush's tax cuts weren't really thought out properly. Blame yourself before you ask others for accountability.

    Edit: Was the .00 at the end really needed? :grin:

    He said he would get America to a balanced budget in 8 to 10 years...He did not say he would fix the economy in 8-10 years.

    Keep in mind that Obama said in 2009, shortly after entering office, that he would cut the budget deficit in half by the end of his first time. Not hardly.

    The upside of Obama implementing large portions of his agenda via federal agencies and executive decree, is that it can be easily undone.

    I expect a President Romney to do what he does with companies he turns around. Comb through the books and start cleaning house.
