Romney can’t be trusted, as Republican leaders, media and experts agree!

Gen. Colin Powell, a Republican and Sec. of State under President George W. Bush:
“I’m not quite sure which governor Romney we would be getting with respect to foreign policy.”
http://thinkprogress.org/security/2012/10/25/1086721/powell-romney-foreign-policy/?mobile=nc

Politifact: 42 percent of Romney’s comments in recent months have been false, much higher than Obama’s comments.

Salt Lake City Tribune, largest daily paper in Republican and Mormon-led Utah: “Romney (is) willing to say anything to get elected.”

Rick Santorum, former Republican Senator: “This is someone (Romney) who doesn’t have a core. He has been on both sides of almost every single issue in the past 10 years. “

Brit Humes of Fox News: “Republicans do not trust Romney”
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/10/30/brit_hume_republicans_do_not_trust_romney.html

NO, THANK YOU!

I don’t want Romney’s version of change including:

• A severely conservative Supreme Court.

• Tax and jobs plan that doesn’t make mathematical sense as most experts say.

• 1% percent control of the nation,

• Leader who says “corporations are people”, and puts the needs of corporations
before the people.

• Higher taxes for middle class and lower taxes for the rich.

• Medicare taken bankrupt in 2016, as reports indicate,

• Overturn of Roe vs Wade and return women’s rights to the 1950s,

• Leader who condemns 47 percent of Americans.

• Leader with hot temper and controlling demeanor who is eager to start war against Iran.

I’m very pleased to stay with reliable, proven Obama-Biden who are taking America FORWARD - not back to the Bush years!

Romney/Ryan Tues Nov 6!

Jean Hoffman, If any one of those 4 dead men over in Benghazi were your sons, I doubt very much you would trust Obama. Where was the photo of Obama/Biden and Hillary watching those men getting massacred? Funny how there were photos of the bin laden capture and hurricane sandy. Let's get to the root of this man. Any man that would stand by and watch this massacre and do nothing CAN NOT be trusted with anything!! He acted like a coward all so he could win an election. 4 people who pleaded for help are now dead because of him! Who will be next? People where is your out rage?

Exactly, Teri... Four died, and Obama lied... The great people of PA will never accept such deceit out of the White House...

Please don't let Obama sweep Benghazi under the rug...
Lets not forget those four who were left to be slaughtered in Benghazi... Do not reward Obama for this epic failure…

You are kidding me, right? This is your response and reason for voting for Romney? God Bless America.

We were there too and the reports are 30,000 were there, not 25,000 mainstream local media :)

Sorry for your loss, Jan. There are many good schools in the Commonwealth you can enroll in to learn why you are so stupid.

Sorry, but Romney is gonna need way more than 34,000 yokels to win PA. Romney campaigns in PA now because his "presence" here dupes the puppet news cycle into thinking he has a chance- they report on it- undecided voter in an actual swing state like ohio says "hey romney actually has a chance now"- undecided voter jumps on the bandwagon because thats all the more it takes to inform his decision= romney just got a vote he needed. It's actually not a bad strategy if you're the posterboy for a dying party of racists and you need to win elections that way.

Agreed! Isn't it a wonderful feeling to hear a presidential candidate speak in inspirational, motivational, and patriotic terms? Makes you realize how so many Americans hunger to have our country returned to that which our Founding Fathers envisioned, returning it from the hands of a man driving us on the fast track to Socialism.

Loser. Glad you wasted your time you imbecile.

200 showed up for Obama's rally yesterday. That's a far cry from 25k! Romney will win!

The Obama campaign did inquire about renting Shady Brook for a rally last week. My bet is since they did not call back and reserve the site their internals proved they could not get enough people to fill Shady Brook. The Romney campaign called and within days called back to reserve Shady Brook. The rest is history.

Keeping my fingers cross. So disappointed by the President. Asked for a debt commission, then ignored.

Jobs/housing was everyones priority, he focused on Obamacare which is merely health insurance reforms not even focusing on cost controls. Insurance rates still climbing and just look at CBO's projections for medicare.

Did I hear correctly during VP Biden's debate when he asserted: "Obamacare makes medicare solvent to 2024". Did he mean 2124? That's 12 years from now and based on likely rosey projections. What are their plans to reform to extend and strengthen? Why didn't he respond to "Why not raise the age over time gradually?".

A former Biden staffer has come out with a book and claims both Obama and Biden are clueless when it comes to fiscal matters.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1012/82897.html

We are all working harder for each dime and living on our own budgets, yet the Senate hasn't provided a budget in years (thanks Harry Reid) and there's no long term fiscal plan.

Thanks to all those who showed up.

Romney claims to love his country -- and then he hides his money in overseas tax shelters.

Romney is not for small town American values. He is for the power of the corporation. You repubs follow him like sheep. When he left Massachusetts he was rated worst governor of all time there. 14% approval rating from the citizens of Massachusetts. Romney doesn't love this "country" he loves money. President Obama is real and a million times more Presidential than corporate raider Romney Romney will screw the entire middle class, including you. His interests lie in promoting large corporations and the few that reap the profits. Don't be so naive. And please take off the blasted baseball cap, they're for little boys.

What about next time, with Mitt promising to do away with FEMA?????

Delta 27 - Excellent post.

Awwww, I actually feel sorry for you. I sincerely do. The rally must have been good but realize that Romney does not believe in the Republican ideas of small town American values. He believes in the power of the corporation. I do feel sorry for you Repubs who follow him like sheep, when he really does not care about you. Obama will take PA. and OHIO. Your predictions are based on nothing more than your feelings "can you feel it"? and that is so sad. Obama is leading in every national and state poll. Nate Silver gives Obama 85% chance of winning vs. Romney 14%. InTrade gives Obama 65% and Romney 35%. I would agree with you that it is "game over" and thankfully President Obama is going to be victorious!!

Mitch McConnell - "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president."

Enough said...

Jack, that quote from McConnell was Feb 2009, 29 days into the Obama presidency; not 2011.

Jack, you lost dude.

Patriotism is not about being against civil liberties. Neither Mr. Romney nor Mr. Obama are supportive of civil liberties. PA should be going with freedom on Tuesday. Freedom is red, while, and blue. Be Libertarian for one election. Live free.

"Third Party Candidates on Civil Liberties
While neither Obama nor Romney can plausibly claim to defend the Constitution, many third-party presidential candidates have expressed profound opposition to national security policies that abuse civil rights and civil liberties. On October 23, four candidates on the ballot in enough states to win the presidency (Green Party candidate Jill Stein, Libertarian Party candidate Gov. Gary Johnson, Constitution Party candidate Virgil Goode, and Justice Party candidate Rocky Anderson) gathered at the Chicago Hilton to debate each other, drawing attention to many policies on which neither Romney nor Obama have promised real leadership."

Ummm, no it won't. It's going to go BLUE.

Diane - exactly right. Nate Silver - Obama 85% vs. Romney 14%. InTrade - Obama 65% vs. Romney 35%. The Repubs at that rally tonight represent about 30% of all repubs in the state (makefield, landsdale, etc.) and so their perceptions are so distorted as to the actual strength of repubs in the state. 12 million and the majority will be for President in PA. That rally was a last ditch effort, it was desperate - it was a hail Mary play and they only work about one in one thousand times as our former Governor said tonight.

Kelly McGrath you are naive. Resort to name calling. Classy. So Obama promised this all 4 years ago and failed but you want to give him another chance? Good for you.

I am desperate to make sure my children's future is not determined by progressives who secretly support european style socialism, social justice in our public and private schools, and the over importance of ecology over people. Yes call me desperate. Diane and Kelly what is your excuse?

Why do you talk so much trash on Bush when Obama kept so many of his policies in place? Same tax code, war on terror, guantanamo, bailouts, and lies!

I'd be willing to give President Obama a second term, if he had shown any Economic Leadership at all in the first term.

My case for Mitt Romney:

Try this right here, Milt!

My case for Mitt Romney:
http://crankymanslawn.com/2012/10/23/my-case-for-mitt-romney/

Willing to discuss ...

Good post, Mike. Unfortunately, most people who are looking for more civility actually equate civility with agreement. Let's hope Milt is one of those rare individuals who is actually looking for dialogue.

Hey lawn-mower man. I wasted 4 minutes of my life reading your blog. It sucked. Make an arguement for Robme, not against Obama. I assume that your informed enough to know that you can't cut taxes for everyone accross the board. The math doesn't add up. Fact check with GAO. Please don't lower yourself and try to discredit the GAO as a lefty think tank.
Robme/Lyin' Ryan= LOSERS

I'll take that challenge Milt. Different views? How about absolute disregard for the Constitution and use of executive order, passing massive unread bills on Christmas eve for starters? I am furious that Bush took us in to Iraq and furious that the President helped depose Khaddafi. I am also furious that four of our finest are gone because of politics in Benghazi. How's that?

Like Dick Morris. A perfect example of an unhinged republican.

Right and instead of The President of United States helping those who are homeless because of Hurricane Sandy, he is off campaigning. He is so confident right?

Hanna, not only will Romney will I hope Joe Rooney of Ardsley will TRUMP Ms. Ally Schwartz of Brooklyn tomorrow!!! And Smith over Casey!!!

Hannah proved 100% right. Romney/GOP lovers, the 1920s called, they want their society back. Time to check in to the old folks home., losers.

You're going to have a long wait.

Why? What is he going to do *this term*??

Chin is Right :)

So what, I wish my accountant (not that I have one) was smart enough to save me money from the blistering bs of the government who has been bleeding us instead of saving social security for our grandparents. You have seen what the CBO says we spend, it is criminal...criminal. Always has been, and only a frugal Mormon can fix it I pray.

A new story breaking today; Romney avoided $102 million in taxes by hiding money overseas:

http://www.volkskrant.nl/vk/nl/2680/Economie/article/detail/3342442/2012/11/05/Romney-ontwijkt-belasting-door-sluipweg-via-Nederland.dhtml

Breaking. The Dutch article that you cite was published in May and is unintelligible to ENglish readers. Good try!

Hannah, dear ... There was NOTHING either illegal or immoral about investing money overseas to avoid a higher tax liability.

Smart people, especially those who KNOW about financial success and how to run a Successful Economy do it all the time!

But none of us expect Democrats or The President to grasp anything having to do with Economic Success or Leadership; so you are forgiven for your naivete.

Good article Hannah. Published in May but breaking to most in the US!!!!! It is clear and anyone can see that Romney funnels money through the Netherlands, just like he does the Cayman Islands to avoid paying US taxes. His private secret trusts are in many countries, that is why he refuses to show his returns, they represent so little of what he has made. "Love of Country"? NO, love of money. Romeny does NOT represent Republican small town values and he will NOT care about the middle class. He cares about his wealth. 14% approval rating when he left office in Massachusetts. Worst governor in history of state. Feel sorry for Repub following him like sheep.

Mike Shorthall, dear - Romney is a corporate raider NOT a business builder. He built his personal wealth on buying dying companies and selling them to the highest bider overseas. This has NOTHING to do with building an business economy in the United States. Government is NOT a business. Romney had 14% approval rating in Massachusetts. Worst Governor in Massachusetts history. He is wrong for the job. His financial success has NOT been built on growing new businesses. Romney never founded anything or built anything but his own personal wealth. Avoiding US taxes is not "love of country". It's love of Mitt Romney. Bain, udner his leadership acquired Aspen Treatment Centers, which are drug and alcohol treatment centers for adolescents across the country. He cut staff, paid minimum wage to workers, attracting the least qualified, cut services and after two years, Aspen was charged with abuse and neglect of children and one center was closed after a child died. Romney was eeking out every penny of profit. Poor excuse for a leader. And poor excuse for a businessman.

The article I linked was NOT published in May; it was published TODAY. Remember, the rest of the world puts their day first, then their month, when printing a date. If you can't read it, use Google Translate. It's free.

Mike Shortall, it might not be illegal, but it is immoral. Romney wraps himself in the flag and spouts false patriotism. He doesn't believe enough in America to put his money to work here. By investing overseas, he creates jobs there, not here.

OK, I'll play along. ladies.

Hannah: I repeat, there is NOTHING "immoral" about taking advantage of off-shore tax shelters. If there was, there'd be a law against it! Would you like to discuss the number of investments the Obamas hold that send Money and Jobs to China?!?

Kelly: You're right, the Govenrment is not b business. But the Economy sure is! Mitt Romney has PROVEN his credentials for Creating Jobs and turning Economic disasters into Winners that Employ People and build Prosperity. (Think 2002 Salt Lake Olympics, Bain Capital customers: Sports Authority, Staples, Bright Horizons (managers of employer-provided child care programs), Physio Controls (developers of cutting-edge medical technology) ...

The President??? He's still working on the following after FOUR YEARS:
Unemployment 7.9% ,,, up once again after dropping to 7.8% in September ... 12.3 million out of work, up from 12.1 in Sept ... 14% unemployment among African Americans, 7% for women, 10% for Hispanics ... National debt increased from $10 trillion to $16 trillion (60% increase), and could go as high as $25 trillion with another four years of ObamaSpend ...

My case for Mitt Romney:
http://crankymanslawn.com/2012/10/23/my-case-for-mitt-romney/

Maybe Kelly and Hannah would like to give us their take on the following:

An article on how little a role women - aside from Hillary, Michelle and Valerie - play in important White House policy or executive decisions under President Obama: http://swampland.time.com/2011/09/21/the-white-house-boys-club-president-obama-has-a-woman-problem/

Oh, and here is what women who have WORKED FOR Mitt Romney think of him:
http://www.blogher.com/what-women-should-know-about-our-old-boss-mitt-romney

Just sayin' ...

Can't wait!!!!! Obama/Biden!!!! All Fired Up!!!!!!

Hey stupid, Obama will still be president on Wednesday. Get used to hearing "president-elect Romney though.

I happily agree with Chin again!

Complete hogwash. He did not add $6 trillion to the debt. Unemployment is lower today than when he took office.

Illuminati, you may very well be a registered Independent as you claim, but your comments lean very far to the right. Given that you actually voted for Bush in 2004 speaks volumes.

It's seriously hard to take you at your word when you're postings are nothing more than a tick list of Republican talking points.

What is at issue here is that you fail to acknowledge the 30 plus years that have created the massive wage gap that exists, which is detrimental to our economic growth. You fail to acknowledge the massive mess that was left for us and our current President in the wake of 8 plus years under Republican rule, as you seem to think that three/four years, the first of which is beholden to the previous presidents policies, is enough time for our economy to fully recover. Further, you completely ignore the facts on steady job growth, tax cuts for small businesses, more people with access to health insurance drives down the cost of medical care, etc.

You seem more like someone who is caught up in magical thinking rather than the realities of the economy and the obstruction pledge taken by the Republicans to put party before the wellbeing of the American people and U.S. economy.

Hannah, enjoyin' that liberal Kool-aid are you?

Hannah: He did add $6 trillion to the debt (from $10 trillion to $16 trillion). And yes, the unemployment rate is down a whole 0.2% (!) after 43 straight months of 8+% unemployment!

Hannah, 7.8 or 7.9 is higher than when the President took office. Besides if you're so confident then why are you commenting on this teeny local post? Hi Chin!

And just as many health care professionals, doctors and nurses, especially at large hospitals, support the President and Obama care. We all care about the rights and safety of patients. You are disingenuous to frame the argument that way.

Completely agree!

Golly! What did you expect when you went to a place with a bunch of other like minded people? I wonder why the Romney campaign chose Yardley instead of one of the large venues in Philly? - A pictures worth a thousand words.

"We heard NOT ONE negative word, NOT ONE divisive word."...... I guess you didn't listen to the speech that Romney gave? Look up the transcript.

A Hail Mary.

Amen, Earnest! ProdSvcs, you must be kidding about "NOT ONE negative word, NOT ONE divisive word..." being said! Did you actually LISTEN to Romney's speech? I did, and was disgusted. He knows that the best chance he has to win is to vilify his opponent, and he and the party have done that very, very well. If Romney wins, then what? Does anyone know? It's frightening.

You want to talk about divisive? How about Obama calling for "revenge"?

How about the words of senior advisor Valerie Jarrett?

“After we win this election, it’s our turn. Payback time. Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be heck to pay. Congress won’t be a problem for us this time. No election to worry about after this is over and we have two judges ready to go.”

The one after Obama in 2016? Hillary Clinton was in Bucks County? What a coincidence, her husband is coming to Montco today!

Wow! Thanks for the heads up the VIOCE!!! I was in Bucks County last night and had no idea that I was going to be the next President of the United States!!!! I'd better get started on writing my inauguration speech!

John the Felon = Another dim witted tea bagger who thinks posters use their real names. Pathetic. Is John McCriminal your real name? Are you the criminal who broke into my car?

Kelly McGrath is a moron. She has no facts to back up anything she is saying. As soon as she does, I'll read her posts.

The reports are accurate. There are actual quotes from people who were trying to leave with small children as well as others. They told the people that were wanting to leave that they couldn't for "security reasons". However, they finally started letting people leave in small groups after the people pointed out that everyone had to be cleared by security to get into the rally so they saw the security claim as a non-issue.

Definitely not true, we left early without a single hassle, in fact the TSA gates were were being taken down when we left. As to people leaving early, that's true.. clearly for the same reasons we did, to beat the crowds and traffic. From the small talk heard in the groups headed back to the cars, their minds were already made up for Romney.

"President Romney"???? - Mr. Sams, I'm not sure what alternative universe you are currently living in but there is no such person.

Oh please. Just calm down.

Do you even know the differences between socialist, communism, and fascism? Or are you just spouting out words you hear from your fellow morons?

ILOaFS - "its good to change the best health care in the world to Canada"??? If you are trying to say that the U.S. health care system is the same as Canada's you might want to get some facts.

1- The AFHCA, "Obamacares" addresses health insurance NOT the health care system.
2- Insurance companies remain private.
3- Hospitals are NOT owned by the government.
4- Doctors still work privately and in private groups. They do NOT work for the government.

Your lack of knowledge and the other ridiculous comments regarding the President, indicates that you are most definitely a low information voter that votes party and not for country.

Hannah - Exactly right. It's desperate. Why did he not visit Philadelphia? Bc Romney is desperate for the few votes he can get in PA. Pandering to his base, white and upper middle class . Do you think Romney would go visit folks in rural Pa? Hah! Certainly not Philadelphia or Pittsburgh either, not white enough. The crowd last night is not representative of the demographics in Pa. 12 million Pennsylvanians will get it right - voters of every race, religion and age demographic and occupation. Obama will take the state.

The one pattern I notice is that none of them were named Mitt Romney, and none of them were running against a President still carrying around 43 straight months of 8+% unemployment and a National Debt increase from $10 trillion to $16 trillion!

Last I looked, unemployment was on the way down, we've added several million jobs to the economy, housing starts are up and the debt would actually get worse under Romney. But keep shoveling if it makes you feel better. Enjoy tomorrow.

Actually, Bruce, the unemployment numbers for October bounced back UP to 7.9%.

Here are some more numbers:
Unemployment 7.9% ,,, up once again after dropping to 7.8% in September ... 12.3 million out of work, up from 12.1 in Sept ... 14% unemployment among African Americans, 7% for women, 10% for Hispanics ... National debt increased from $10 trillion to $16 trillion (60% increase), and could go as high as $25 trillion with another four years of ObamaSpend ...

Oh, so President Obama is NOT "still carrying around 43 straight months of 8+% unemployment." Good of you to say so, Mike.

Yeah, Bruce ... It's "all the way down" to 7.9%!

Probably The President's biggest Economic Accomplishment in just four years ... ROFL

Spot on SG124! All around the world including investing in alternative energy with projections of high numbers of clean energy run communities and businesses. Even Germany is on board and we all know how much snow they get every year.

It is so blatantly obvious that the multi-billion dollar gas and oil corporations are spending a great deal of money and donating secretly to super pacs, because they don't want any competition in the energy market that they have dominated. Talk about anti-capitalism! They like the welfare checks they get from the American taxpayers pockets, while they make billions of dollars.

Solyndra? Talk to the hand man unless you want to share the very long historical list of all businesses that have failed that received government/taxpayer subsidies. Oh, and if you look at where the funding for Solyndra started, you will see the name President George W. Bush.

Chin, Thirty plus years of declining wages and corporations has very little to do with taxes and unions, because the corporations have been dodging taxes and putting their money in foreign lands for years like all false patriots. Further, they moved their factories etc. to foreign lands, because they pay little in wages and engage in sweat shop production, child labor, and very few if any safety standards for the workers that are working horrific hours.

It's all about the money Chin. They have no morals and they certainly don't have an ounce of American patriotism in their little fingers. How do they avoid bad press? Take their business to Communist countries and hang a few nets to keep people from successfully committing suicide.

Sure thing, Ed! I'll do it. Now, how about you and President Obama's pitiful Economic Leadership?!? Ready to admit that he really has no clue and no sense of Leadership on Economic or Jobs issues?!?

No, not holding my breath ...

You make the assumption I'm asking as a democrat. I'm not. I'm independent. He's a terrible president. I didn't vote for him. And I'm not voting for either candidate. I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy that exists from people who are blindly following party lines.

dixin, come on man...you really going with 'kenyan' and 'muslim'. and then christie in 2016 in the same post?? I hope you going for comedy here and not your true feelings... christie couldnt even fit in the oval office anyways...

haha dixin, hiralous post...but what the heck bruce looks normal---haha whats with the slam on his pic?? Dont playa hate an older citzen---you'll be there one day as well :)

haha yea but the bad thing was the dems were too soft and didnt push things down our throat besides obamacare--they tried to comprimise rather than use their majority to complete their agenda like the repubs are doing now.

and i dont care about the dems agenda---i will be affected by obamacare negatively, but many in my family will benefit greatly for it---so its worth it to me... i guess we need more 'kenyan's in office to put in the right policies. whats the pipeline looking like for 2016 there?

Bob, don't feed the trolls.

Voted down by the majority? If Obama wins you'll probably see that the majority voted against him when you tally the votes of the other candidates.

Yes. We ARE desperate. Desperate for a CHANGE. If we do't, our children, our jobs, our business, our family will suffer. You are happy with the state of the country due to our leaders decisions?

The KKK, the invention of the Democratic party.

By the way, I know many blacks and minorities and guess what - they are NOT voting for Obama.

Really? That is what you are looking for? I was there and YES, all minorities were present. Rude.

Agree, agree, agree. Richard H. It did look like a klan meeting and most of them are socially bred to believe they are better than Americans of other races. They are in for a big surprise ..... they are done.......The voice of the real America is about to be heard

Yes, old white men are the new minority, and also the only group keeping the Republican party alive. Wanna guess where they both will be in 30 years?

Wrong. Most African Americans voted for and supported Bill Clinton. He was very popular with AA voters. It's not about race, it's about the policies of these two candidates. you are looking though the racist looking glass, friend. If you feel like you're in the minority, don't turn your bitterness on others who have nothing to do with the changing demographics in this country. Diversity is a good thing and I know African Americans who are Republicans and although they do not like Romney they are loyal to the party. You are so wrong.

Wow. You really went full tilt paranoid crazy nutjob on that one.

Sue B - Time for your medication.

I didn't know the funny farm had wifi?

haha, whoa little buddy. nobody is wishing dead on anyone, just stating an inevitability- Republicans are a dying breed. They make no effort whatsoever to embrace the social trends that younger generations have shown repeatedly to support. Gay marriage, relaxed immigration, a less than zealot view of religion- Republicans flout all these trends, and they do so to their own peril. So yes, old people eventually die, and so will the Republican party in its current form. I also loved how you tried to cherrypick minorty names to represent Republicans and you couldn't even make a list 4 long. Case in point- demographic trends all point to increased minority presence in the electorate, and what to republicans do? hate everything that isnt white. Good job.

Hey Jack, you're a loser, punk, puke, tea bagger. Lay down and take the dip.

@ Richard (dick) H (ead)
Who's frault is it that there were no blacks there? I don't recall seeing anyone ban them

Honestly that's the biggest BS I've ever heard. Reading every single comment on here look who's being nasty. People calling Obama a Muslim, Kenyan, etc.... The people that have the biggest problem with Obama are pure racists, so don't lecture anyone about Obama supporters being small, petty, uncivil and negative. I don't have a problem with republicans who want to vote for Romney who do their research and feel he is the best candidate. I have a problem with the racist, bigot, lying republicans who don't believe a black man should be president and don't believe in civil liberties.

Drew Albert - Thank You. Great comment. It is the truth.

all hail the internet white knight- come to save us all by taking the high road!
read the thread john, this whole place is a pit of ignorance, on both sides of the political spectrum. Though im glad you chose my comment out of them all to make an example of. He even used latin! must be a real smart guy!

Now that's an interesting comment, Mike. Amidst all this trash-talk, you just hit on something. Can you please explain that, if a vote for Obama is a vote to elevate the station of those who are not rich, how then will four more years of the exact same identical policies reverse the last four years of this:

Labor force participation now at 63.5% (lowest in 30 years)

Median household income down $4,500

Poverty rate over 15% (highest in 19 years)

Poverty rate now over 26% for Hispanic Americans

Over 27% Black Americans now in Poverty

Taking 716 billion dollars out of Medicare causing 50% of doctors now to stop accepting Medicare will help seniors

26 Million Unemployed or Underemployed

49 Million on Food Stamps

5.5 Million Homes in Crisis/Foreclosure

Mike, how? How would Romney's proposals fail compared to four more years?

Jack, you and I will never see eye to eye so it's not really worth my time to debate you but I will leave you with this tidbit: Obama created 750,000 new private sector jobs in his first 45 months in office. How many did Bush create in that same time? NONE. In fact he lost more than a million. You no doubt will cherry pick "facts" to back up your delusions and make yourself feel better and smart. You spend a lot of time on here, by the way. Don't think you're contributing to the labor force by trolling on these stories.

Mike, Romney is not Bush, and Obama is not running against Bush, so ... you may want to rethink the whole thing. You do not grasp economic policies. Apparently you are more angry about what Mitt Romney and wealthy people do with their money than what Obama has done with yours.

Why don't you just save us all some time, admit you just hate him because he's black, and get back to your klan meetings...

Hey Busted Hymen, if your rich, you didn't do it alone. Did you feed yourself as a baby? Did you teach yourself all that you know? Did you pave the roads as you drove on them? No, you didn't. None of us did it alone. We did it together(plus or minus a few). It's called community. Get out and help to build yours. God bless.

I do not know what God Obama worships or religion he follows, but in his book “Audacity of Hope” he writes: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

Just sayin.

Agreed! I no longer support him but to pass along misinformation like this makes people look foolish!

Jack, that 'quote' is not only literally nonexistent, it's completely missing the point of his real statement. You know what his religion is as much as you can know anyone's but your own - if you can't take his word for it, that's on you. Anyway, that ACTUAL quote is:

"In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Note that there's no mention of the religious affiliation of his, or of the people he's willing to stand with - he's talking about resisting ethnic intolerance. Your pretension towards being a fact-championing beacon of truth is utterly delusional in the face of your perpetual regurgitation of blatantly misleading - if not outright false - information.

Morgan-stalker! Wrong again. In “Audacity of Hope” he writes: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” The quote comes from page 261 of the paperback edition of “The Audacity of Hope.

B. Hussein was writing about the injustices suffered by some in America. In that context he wrote that sentence.

Will injustices in America ever go away completely? No. We live in an imperfect world. Therefore, will the situation ever arise by which Muslims in the United States will cry out for B. Hussein to lean in their favor. Of course. And will he?

Well, he’s already said he will “stand with the Muslims.” Need we go any further?

More from “Dreams of My Father,” B. Hussein writes: “I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."

Haven't you heard Morgan that "Reading is FUNdamental?"

Keep stalkin' and spinnin' - Morgan.

You'll always see a "Patchie" step in if they see Obama taking it on the chin.... but I have NEVER NEVER EVER seen one of the Patchies step in if somebody is writing crap about Romeny. Typical for this Huffington Post Democratic propoganda machine.

Jack, I've got the book right here in front of me - it's from chapter 7 - and the above text I posted IS the quote from the paperback, page 261. Would you like me to email you a copy? Your quote is false, and I think it's important that you can acknowledge that, if nothing else. There is no spin to presenting the actual quote, and projecting your own tactics on others is utterly unconvincing. Let's just try to imagine, together, the ridiculousness of defending a completely fabricated quote while simultaneously condemning the person with the real quote as 'spinning.' Or the hubris of snidely telling someone 'reading is fundamental', when you are the one who has clearly never read it? Get a grip, man.

Oh, and I'm not 'stalking' you - your comments keep showing up in my Patch feed, and when they are particularly egregious falsehoods I sometimes feel compelled to point it out - sorry if that disrupts your campaign of spreading misinformation? Many different Patch neighborhoods have articles that have shared comment threads. I think I did find that 'Heaven' thread through your profile page, though.

Morgan this changes the meaning, how? Obama in his own words provided a sweeping blanket defense of Arab and Pakistani Americans "rounded up" by the FBI which would only occur if individuals or cells of people are suspects with case evidence behind them (WWII-Japanese round-ups could never again happen, everyone knows this), so then why does he make such a blanket statement that he will automatically side with them? Are all Arab and Pakistani Americans adherents to Islam, or might some be Jews or Christians - of course, quite possibly, though not as likely as they will be Muslims, so that it is not unreasonable for the quote to substitute Muslim for the listed groups. So the point of it does not change. He wrote the book in 2006, 5 years after Sept 11 2001, long after Al Qaeda's fundamentalist Islam "political winds" changed everything here.

Jack, it changes the meaning because the real quote has nothing at all to do with religion or Muslims. Your false quote (you've acknowledged its falsehood, right?) was used to counter Kara Seymour's comment clarifying that Obama was neither Kenyan nor Muslim, and you used it to imply that he 'will stand with the Muslims' as a reflection of his religious loyalties. That is, I think pretty obviously, a completely different meaning than stating a dedication to preserving the freedoms and safety of Americans whose ethnic backgrounds are, or may be perceived to be, related to a culture we are at war with, even when jingoism and inflammatory rhetoric are being directed towards them.

He was six years old at the time.

His step father listed his religion as "Islam" under the name Barry Soetoro. It doesn't matter, we still got the bastard son of a foreigner for president.

Free cell phone were started by Bush in 2007. I bet you didn't hear that from Faux?

Here's one for Romney: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzvm7zd4Z-s

Well, there it is. I guess this thing is over. If we're losing the philly.com poll, there's no sense in even trying anymore.

Nyuck, nyuck.

Moe, I'd rather the bastard son of a foreigner than the grandson of a tax-evading, polygamist foreigner.
ROBME/ LYIN'-RYAN= LOSERS

You need to get out more then. Plenty of top doctors support Obamacare. I personally asked one of the best doctors in the US and he said it's a step in the right direction.

Jack, yet another of your lies - or maybe this one came from your mancrush Mitt - but I see you spread it around a number of these threads the past few days. Here is a link to a CDC study of acceptance rates for new patients of office-based physicians.

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/ppt/nchs2012/SS-04_DECKER_A.pdf

83% of these physicians are accepting new Medicare patients (88% if you eliminate the pediatricians in the survey). That's just slightly HIGHER than the 81.7% acceptance rate for new patients with PRIVATE INSURANCE.

This is the Republican/Right Wing tactic on everything - scare, scare, scare. You - and Mitt - are full of $%!&

73 percent more likely to reject Medicaid patients relative to the privately insured (34 percent rejection rate vs. 20 percent) and specialists were 63 percent more likely to reject Medicaid patients (28 to 17).

http://www.forbes.com/sites/aroy/2012/08/07/health-affairs-study-one-third-of-doctors-wont-accept-new-medicaid-patients/

There are 600,000 physicians in America who care for the 48 million seniors on Medicare. Of the $716 billion that the Affordable Care Act cuts from the program over the next ten years, the largest chunk—$415 billion—comes from slashing Medicare’s reimbursement rates to hospitals, nursing homes, and doctors. This significant reduction in fees is driving many doctors to stop accepting new Medicare patients, making it harder for seniors to gain access to needed care.

Study: One-third of doctors wouldn’t take new Medicaid patients last year
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/wp/2012/08/06/study-one-third-of-doctors-wouldnt-take-new-medicaid-patients-last-year/

Just speak to someone in a medical practice, Abraham, especially specialists. Quote all the garbage you want, doesn't change the facts. You love to nitpick and make facts fit your argument, which is spin. So tiresome.

Jack, you have just exposed you own lie - and the same one repeated by Mitt Romney!!

At 3:11pm you posted "Over 50% of physicians are now turning away Medicare patients, no longer accepting it."

The Medicare patient rejection rates YOU referenced in YOUr studies are at about 33%. That's a huge difference from the "over 50%" YOU claimed. Factor in the rejection rates for private insurance (20% in YOUR strudy, 18% in the CDC study) and the marginal differences are even smaller.

The bottom line... Mitt Romney will say anythng (and has) to get elected and YOU believe him.

Gullibles Travels. Damn you fell into that. I accused you of nitpicking, you opened my links showing one third of doctors are not accepting Medicare, instead of saying, "Wow, didn't know that, Jack may have a point, this Obamacare really isn't working," you NITPICKED the fifty percentage! Fantastic.

But what you didn't know was the study run in North Carolina for which I posted the links 2-3 weeks ago.

"Our volunteers found nearly 50 percent of the 200 doctors they called are not taking new Medicare patients."
http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/story?section=news/abc11_investigates&id=8656615

Now you keep digging that hole and vote for your Medicare savior Obama, Abraham. PS - just exposed your own ridiculousness. Bottom line, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan (http://www.mittromney.com/issues/medicare) will save Medicare which Barack Obama has decimated. Deflect deny, isn't that right. You are the Obama electorate in a nutshell.

Jack, you are soooooo smart.

Gee dude, a study done by AARP volunteers with a sample size of 200 family physicians limited to metropolitan Raleigh, NC versus a nation-wide study conducted by professionals the CDC with a sample size of more than 4,000. Which is more reliable?

But I digress... My point, which you obviously totally missed, is that you and your man crush Mitt continually lie, bend the truth, manipulate, take Obama out of context and deceive in order to make a point. Or in Mitt's case, say anything in order to get elected.

Jack, you are the tea party, wingnut, "Romney electorate."

Done with you and your pedantic lies and spin, Abraham. May the best men win tomorrow, God willing. Until then.

When exposed for what he is, Jack takes his ball and goes home.

Liars never win, winners never... Unless maybe your name is Mitt Romney and your Republican party implements dozens of state laws which suppress enough voters for you to steal an election.

When shown an actual poll of 200 physicians, and countless corroborating articles from legit financial media such as Forbes, Abraham deflects and denies. It's done, Abraham. Tomorrow we learn who Americans trust more. Afterwards, the facts about doctors rejecting Medicare/Medicaid patients haven't changed nor has Obama's failed record, and you'll never admit it, so what's the use. Unless you have some fetish for fruitless dog-chase-tail discourse. I don't. I'lll be working at the polls all day and counting votes tomorrow night, so Wednesday I'll stop back and look for you. You can have the last word.

Jack, I hope you are more honest counting votes tonight than you are with the numbers and your statements on these pages... just saying.

My point all along has been your dishonesty with the numbers and propensity to lie and bend the truth in order to make a point. You have adopted the same mentality as Mitt, lie, manipulate and deceive to any level in order to make your point - no matter how big the lie.

Again to the details of this point, your "poll" is actually a study done by AARP volunteers with a sample size of 200 family physicians limited to metropolitan Raleigh, NC. My numbers came from a nation-wide study conducted by professionals at the CDC with a sample size of more than 4,000. Which is more reliable?

As to the larger issues, has President Obama been able to deliver on all his promises - of course not, but no politician ever does. Not that the president had any help from the Republicans in congress. But if you honestly look at the past four years, the president has done a fairly remarkable job given the situation he stepped into in Jan 09. The key word here is "honestly."

I look at it this way, if the Obama record is so very terrible, defeating him in this election should have been a "no brainer." If Mitt was such a great candidate and he was able to put together such a great campaign, he should be leading by 10 or 12 points.

Ask yourself this, do you really want a guy (and his team) as president that can't deliver a campaign competent enough to hold a solid lead over a supposed terrible president? If this is the best Team Romney can do in a campaign, it scares me as to what level of incompetency he will fall to as president.

Thumbs up, Larson!

I could care less whether Obama was muslim, christian, white or black. But i do care that what once made us great seems to be slipping away under Obama. Self responsibility and pride are vanishing, more and more people are becoming dependent on government and government loves it. It gives them control they make people dependent then spend on programs to help them a little and say look we saved you just do what we want and we will take care of you. instead of welfare food stamps and public housing being a stepping stone to something better they become a way of life.

Ron, if you think that one man can change this country for better or worse both culturally and economically, you are wrong. What happens in this country is tied to global markets, the European and Asian Markets. Look what happened to Greece this summer. China is slipping as well. The culture and the economy is global now thanks to the internet. The US economy does not operate in a vacuum. Look at what Ronmey did moving companies out of the US. But it was before Romney. US Steel went to Japan in the mid 80's. These are CORPORATE decision based on profit. And our economy is seriously limked to the value of markets and trading around the globe. It is not the fault or credit of one man.

Guess I'm going to hell. But then again, who isn't? I mean no one really follows what "God" says 100% of the time, so we're all sinners.

Do you get these emails with instructions on how to spread the propaganda? Geez, you people are all warped.

Renov, idiot. Liberal means open-minded. Conservative means closed-minded. You want to fact check? Pick up the dictionary. There's a reason why college degreed people trend democrat, and why that trend increases with advanced degrees. It's called critical thinking(although innate intelligence applies too). The number one Republican voting block is white, non-degreed men. So, who's ideology do you trust?

Patrick, your the idiot and and a pretty stupid idiot, especially since you plan on voting for Obama again.

Most people learn from their mistakes, apparently the idiot voting Obama again didn't do well in college.

Apparently you're the one who didn't do well in college. "Your the idiot and and a pretty stupid idiot." *You're the idiot.

Haha Corbuthole. I like it. He needs to go.

Hense? Seriously HenSe? If you're trying to impress us with your 6th grade vocabulary, you failed.

Oh Louie Louie Louie Looooweeeee.
Really, seriously???? Thats the best comment you can vomit up?? Bwahhaaaa. Oh I guess I am just so stupid, and you are the Patch Grammer police. Your such a gentleman. ( this is above his comment because I could not reply to his immature comment)

Done, I am shocked at how rude and obnoxious these Romney supporters are. I guess they think their s**^ doesn't stink too. Delusional
