"It remains important for the country that Romney wins in November (unless he chooses to step down and we get the Ryan-Rubio ticket we deserve!). But that shouldn’t blind us to the fact that Romney’s comments, like those of Obama four years ago, are arrogant and stupid."



there is and should be far more concern at the Obama campaign at this point, but you/they will never admit it

pretty funny....

By Deroy Murdock
September 24, 2012 4:00 A.M. No good deed goes undemagogued.

Republican nominee Mitt Romney on Friday released his 2011 tax return. Democrats instantly hammered him for doing exactly what they have demanded of the rich throughout their dirty class war.
Romney is mean, cold-hearted, uncaring, and incapable of connecting with his fellow man — or so Democrats insist. And yet Romney and his wife earned $13,696,951 in 2011, paid $1,935,708 in taxes, and donated $4,020,772 to charity. The Romneys’ donations equaled 208 percent of what they paid in taxes. The Romneys gave away 29.4 percent of what they made last year. This goes beyond tithing, the Biblical appeal to render onto others one tenth of what one reaps. This tops a 25 percent gratuity — considered a genuine example of generosity. The Romneys handed out nearly one third of their winnings in 2011.

How does this compare with Romney’s opponents for the White House?

The President and Mrs. Barack Obama made $789,674 last year, placing them deep within the dreaded “1 percent” — as luck would have it. (That notorious threshold applies to tax returns that report at least $343,927.) They gave $172,130 to charity, or 21.8 percent of their income.

And what about Vice President Joe “Back in Chains” Biden? He and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, scored $379,035 in 2011. These 1 percenters gave away $5,540 — a whopping 1.5 percent of their income. As parsimonious as this seems, this actually is an improvement for the bleeding-heart Bidens. As Politico’s Josh Gerstein noted Friday, “When the Obama campaign released past tax returns for Biden in 2008, it was revealed that the Bidens donated just $3,690 to charity over 10 years — an average of $369 a year.”

So, confronted with this evidence that Romney’s heart might not be made of dry ice after all, Democrats paused and heartily applauded his philanthropy.


And then I woke up.

?Heads, I Win; Tails, You Lose? - National Review Online

what I find hilariousl is that the people who cackle the most about Romney and his taxes are the same people that have long overstayed their usefulness in the House and Senate, how long has Harry Reid been there???, what has he really accomplished??? these are the same people that have crafted much of the tax policy over the countless years and many other policies that they either bitch about or try to prop up depending on the advantage that they feel it provides them.....Romney has never been shown to have done anything wrong regarding his taxes or anything else, they just "imply" the he must be doing something wrong in much the same way that Spence is now implying racism out of desperation, frustation and who knows...maybe intoxication ...

"racist, tax-dodging babies"

Spence, since you obviously give great credibility to Linda McMahon's opinions...what do you suppose she thinks of Obama?

Amazingly, she is in a neck-and-neck campaign with liberal empty suit Chris Murphy. Incredible to me that she has a shot here in the People's Republic Of Konnecticut-stan.

I'm still worried about Romney by the way. The hit he took over the 47% debacle has him this week touting his MA health care plan and how he cares so much for all Americans. When he's unscripted the man can find a way to contradict himself multiple times in the same statement.

And I thought my Audi had a tight turning radius!

I'm worried about you you're never voting for him so don't worry about the troubles that you percieve for him, celebrate them in your mind

today Rasmussen Obama 47 Romney 46

you should focus your concern on your hero...

Posted 09/27/2012

The final revision for the second quarter is in, and it isn't pretty: GDP grew at a yearly rate of just 1.3%, not 1.7% as earlier estimated. Worse, durable goods orders plunged 13.2% in August, the biggest drop since the recession and an ominous sign the second half will be just as bad.





it will be hilaroius if Obama ends up with 47%

I've left my mind open until we get more data. Romney is vacillating so hard on some key issues I'm not sure which Mitt Romney is going to be there come election day.

Durable goods orders in some sectors like aero were sky high earlier this summer and the market is just stabilizing. Other manufacturing indicators were positive in August, you can't just strip out a metric that makes you happy and pretend it paints a full picture.

The global slowdown is going to be a drag on the economy and there's little President Obama or Gov. Romney can do about it.

Perhaps the biggest thing we can control is a resolution on planned Government spending cuts if Congress can't get their act together...this would put a real and immediate dent in GDP.

I'm concerned that Mitt and Obama are allegedly the two "best" options this country has to lead us out of the economic collapse and towards unifying the country as a whole.

Btw, anyone keeping track of the Student Loan Bubble that's primed to burst? Aside from Warren claiming we should provide event more debt support (with what funds is still confusing), I haven't heard much in the way of our two main presidential candidates opinions on the student loan debt that people voluntarily signed up for.

The guys at Zero Hedge have been doing an excellent job (and probably the only job) tracking yet another possible financial collapse.

the Federal Government should institute a "fee" on everyone's phone bill and call it the "Universal Education Fee", which is very different from a tax as we've learned from Spence, and then apply that money to help pay for the student loans that former students can't or won't pay for, after all...they are "guaranteed".....I think that's "open-minded" thinking
