Spence bashes Toxnews, I'm sure we're all shocked.

Spence, since you criticized Romney for proposing to cut entitlement programs, we are all STILL waiting for you to tell us what the alternative is?

The best you could come up with is "no one knows what to do".

You're boring, Spence. Thoughtless, utterly predictable, and boring.

Let's see...

You avoided the actual discussion - Check

You tossed around insults - Check

You declared victory - whoa?

What's happened?

I didn't avoid anything, I stated the obvious - that there is a clear liberal bias in the media, as well as academia. If you don't admit that, and I know that you won't/can't, that's your issue. I just don't get why you want to go through life with your head buried so deep in the sand.

You're the one who dodged an older issue. You said that Romney's experience as CEO of Bain, was not anything that made him qualified to be POTUS. So I asked you, when Obama was running in 2008, what was on his resume that was a better qualification to be POTUS than Romney'sexecutive experience? A fair question. And as usual, all I got for a response was chirping crickets.

When it comes to legitimate questions that he can't answer, Spence waits till the thread turns the page and hopes everyone will forget what the quetion was.
Great political move.

Spence, I asked a fair question. You said being a CEO doesn't necessarily give Romney any insight into what the US neds. OK. So what was on Obama's resume as of September 2008, that made you think Obama had sufficient insight into what America needs?

Why can't you show a bit of intellectual honesty and answer? Shouldn't take you long to ask that on the Huffington Post and then copy the answer here...

That's not at all what I said. I said his role as CEO certainly gave him worthy executive experience. I also said his job of grooming companies to maximize profit (and often through destructive means) didn't necessarily give him a magic knowledge of how to solve the Countries issues.

I've never stated Romney lacks the qualifications to be President. I do agree with Newt Gingrich though that he'll say anything to get there.

I probably read the HuffPo once a year.

I realize that, plus keeping the Dow above 13,000 takes 24/7 vigilance.
Maybe you could answer my question on where you get your unbiased
info on a coffee break.

BTW, did you ask your Dad wether he would of rather had invested
his own SS monies yet.
So many questions,so few answers.
