Mitt Romney Delivers Republican Convention Speech

Man, the Repubs sure know how to throw a party!!

First, the bought in Chris Christie flaunting his "Save the day" speech, but artfully omitting his failure as governor of New Jersey. I mean really. I didn't think New Jersey could get any lower than it already is, but whoola! Christie has managed to do it!

Then they roll out Paul Ryan and the laughs kept coming. Ryan's speech, prepared in his bathroom was so full of political lincoln logs, he cemented himself as the boogeyman for seniors. I needed a fact check score card to keep up with all his slippery misses. Nice job Ryan, you should have baked some fudge to pass out.

Then like all good Hollywood movies, out comes the stickman. Romney rehearsed that speech soooo much that when he tried to sound excited, his eyebrows didn't move! Now THAT'S acting. Even B movie actors know to "try" and make facial expressions to display emotion. Stick'ems, had nada.

What made the moment hilarious was - and listen closely: it - was - the - same - ideas - republicans - have - been - stomping - the - yard - with since the first Bush was in office.

"I'm for the middle class" - No policies inacted to help the middle class.

"I'm going to create 12 million jobs!" - Quick math, that's about 250,000 a month for four years. He probably will, but they'll be in China and India.

Mitt Romney Delivers Republican Convention Speech

Pres. Obama tried to reign in Oil Speculating..... Guess who stopped him? This is the end result of De Regulating.... Guess which party wants more De Regulating? You know the Party of Supply-Sided Economics.... Cut taxes, and De Regulate.....? Sound familiar?

it has been a tough 3 years, but we are getting through to the other side. In the Republicans world of "my way right away" - of course you don't see the benefit, because you think that everything is easy and can just be fixed.

That's the problem with G.O.P. politics - everyone promising the world, when they can't predict the future.

Did you know, THERE WAS NO ECONOMIC CRISIS OR FINANCIL DISASTER TO CAUSE

JOB LOSS ON OBAMA’S TERM.

"The Republicans", who could ever support such a party!

Paul Ryan Address: Convention Speech Built On Demonstrably Misleading Assertions

The Republican Tea Party likes to say that "Government should be shrunk to the point that it can be drowned in a bathtub" which just sounds sick. The GOP has no idea of how to build and maintain communities except maybe walled communities with private streets, private security, and private schools. The middle class and working folks are voting for the Democrats and Obama because they rightly understand that it's not a question of less government which is the GOP mantra but better government which is the Democratic answer to the question of government.

Paul Ryan Address: Convention Speech Built On Demonstrably Misleading Assertions

The Democratic Party Brand is Freedom, Justice, Equality, Courage, Progress, Tradition, Opportunity and picking the nation back up after it's been wrecked by the Republicans.The Republican Party Brand is Off-Shore Bank Accounts, Out-Sourcing Jobs, Government in the Bedroom, Government interference between a woman and her doctor, Government in the class room pushing religion over science, and oh crashing the economy...a long held GOP tradition from Hooverville to Bush Country.

Paul Ryan Responds To Todd Akin, Clarifies Abortion Position: 'Rape Is Rape'

OK-- no more abortions.... humm..... that means about one million more births per year of unwanted children give or take a few hundred thousand.... more child abuse, more kids being given up for adoption-- perhaps we could bring back orphanages??? Anybody willing to volunteer or pay more taxes for these unwanted kids??? Leave the decisions about having or not having children in the hands of moms and dads and doctors?? Wow, no, let's let the GOP decide... give me a break......



Basically what the Republicans are saying is that if your daughter is raped and becomes pregnant and that pregnancy threatens her life, you MUST sacrifice your daughter's life to save the child of a rapist! Think about that one for a little bit. Yes, trade your daughter's life for the child of her rapist. That's the Republican platform.



Now, can you say with a straight face that the Republican party is not anti-women? Didn't think so.

Mitt Romney Welfare Ad Repeats False Claim

Did we Americans actually expect the dirty primitives on the right to Evolve?



I know that if we elect Romeny a number of things will happen:

He will end all of the provisions ofthe Affordable Care Act.

He will pass legislation to privative medicare.

He will cut taxes for the wealthy, and end health insurance and mortgage deductions

He will do what he has said, and whether what he does "creates jobs" will be up to private industry. Personally, I doubt they will.

I think that electing a Romney/Ran ticket will simply put the wage and earnings disparity on a fast track. The rich will get richer, and the poor (ie anyone who works for a pay check) will get poorer.

Romney wants to cut taxes for the rich while making the Middle Class pay $2,000 a year more? That will really fuel the economy.



Jobs is not a good theme for an outsourcerer.

Paul Ryan Budget Forces Some Republican Candidates Into Awkward Position

Do you ever notice that people who support the Republican party like to talk down to those who don't. They will treat (others), as being (inferior) to themselves. It is almost as if the these Republican supporters consider themselves the, "Master Race".....

A similar experience regarding health care had recently happened to a close right-wing friend who lost his job recently. Here is a short story about what happened to him.

DON’T GET STDs



You watch Faux news and decide to become a Republican.



When you become a Republican, you feel powerful and important.



When you feel powerful and important, you insult people and order them around.



When you insult people and order them around, you become lonely.



When you become lonely, you got to a strip club to meet other Republicans.



When you meet other Republicans at the strip club, you drink heavily.



When you drink heavily in a strip club, you get STDs.



When you get STDs, you go to a doctor for treatment.



When your doctor treats you for STDs, he gives you a bill.



When you look at the bill, you realize the strip club got all your money and you can’t pay.



When you can’t pay, your doctor tells you about the new Healthcare Law.



When you hear about the new Healthcare law, you become a Democrat.



Don’t become a Republican and get STDs.

Paul Ryan Budget Forces Some Republican Candidates Into Awkward Position

This is what Paul Ryan's will do to your personal economy.

TWO MAJOR ASPECTS OF THE THE PAUL RYAN PLAN....Which Mitt endorses.

Put all the social security taxes in Wall Street accounts and let Goldman manage your money – your benefits will be cut by 40% Take the Medicare taxes you paid and give them to "for profit" insurance companies – you get a voucher for about 60% of the current cost of your care.

TRANSLATION:

When the stock market bottoms, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR butt.

Watch your -butt- people (especially Senior Citizens).

Robbing from the old and the sick to give to the wealthy.

I'm glad the Republican Party is finally being honest with the American people.

Rick Santorum Chuckles When Asked To Defend Mitt Romney On Health Care

If one had to choose between the lesser of two evils...it would most assuredly be Obama. Mitt Romney as President would be a disastrous move for national security, and education. Romney says "not everyone should go to college if they don't have the means to do so", but that is an ignorant statement. Everyone should go to college, and if not that, a particular trade school. Solving the problems and ailments of the society that we all live in starts with investments in education, something you will not see in a Romney administration.

Ultimately, romney will lose because of his duplicitious, underhanded nature and his inability to relate to people. No one trusts this guy, right, left, or center. He'll intensify his anti-Obama rhetoric to ridiculous levels (Obama undoing welfare reform), which won't work with anyone outside the right wing delusional bubble, and alienate swing voters and Independents.

Voter ID Laws Raise Debate Over Impact On Youth Vote

When consumption and investment are not powering the economy,

the government sector has to fill the gap with stimulus to boost consumer demand.

Much of the economy’s flat performance since 2011 reflects

insufficient stimulus, reinforcing insufficient demand.

That means sluggish job growth, lackluster pay and persistently weak demand. It’s not a downward spiral, but it is self-reinforcing stagnation.

**Politics, however, has gotten in the way of even basic moves to push the economy upward.**

Responding to the latest employment report, the White House noted correctly that major areas of job weakness —

**including positions in construction and teaching —

are precisely those that would have been the subject of the jobs bill proposed in 2011 by President Obama.

That legislation was blocked by Congressional Republicans.**

Mitt Romney responded to the July report by saying that the numbers reflect the failure of Mr. Obama’s policies when, in reality, they reflect the success of the Republican obstructionism.

That leaves the Federal Reserve to try to boost the economy.

But what’s needed is direct intervention in the form of more federal spending

on education, infrastructure, clean energy, basic research and job training.

Until then, we’re stuck.

Reince Priebus: Harry Reid Is A 'Dirty Liar' (VIDEO)

Presidents like Eisenhower, Ford and Reagan would not be welcome in today’s Republican Party. It has been overrun by ultra right wing zealots who espouse greed, intolerance and anti-democratic practices.

The world watches as the nation tumbles downward into an abyss — where it’s: rich vs. poor, black vs. white, truth vs. lies, young vs. old and education vs. indoctrination.

Unfortunately greed, intolerance and anti-democratic practices are very popular. Hard work, tolerance and generosity not so much. The republicans are the party of "I got mine, and the devil can take the hindmost" and that is a miserable way to live.

Are all republicans nuts, or are only nuts republicans?

Mitt Romney: 'I Have Paid Taxes Every Year. A Lot Of Taxes.'

The electorate should vote in their own self interest and the vast majority of that electorate is best served by President Obama and the Democratic Party.

Romney and the Republicans will do what’s best for the 1% and to hell with the “rest”. The trick for them is — they need the votes of a vast number of the “rest”. They can always count in their corner: those intolerant of others, those driven by greed and envy, those lacking in compassion and empathy, the global warming deniers, the creationists, the uninformed, and the wilfully ignorant.

Still short of votes, the GOP will use all the big money they can get from billionaires like the Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson to buy the election. Billionaire cash is being used to flood the airwaves to laud the non-existent attributes of their boy Romney and to denigrate President Obama in every possible way.

Obamacare Turns Into The Campaign Issue That Didn't Bark

According to a study released Wednesday by theUrban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, Romney's plan would provide large tax cuts to the very wealthy, while increasing the tax burden on the lower and middle classes.

Romney's tax cuts would produce a $360 billion revenue loss in 2015, and offsetting that would require a reduction of 65% of all available tax expenditures, according to the study.

The end result is that individuals who make less than $200,000 would actually have to pay $500 more, on average, in taxes -- a 1.2% decrease in after-tax income. Meanwhile, the after-tax income of individuals who make more than $1 million would increase by 4.1%.

Republicans are interested in power and winning elections but have no interest in using government to benefit the people. They believe that the rich and the few should rule, and the poor and the many should meekly follow.
