Quit Picking On Romney
- Thread starter gopher
- Start date
So Fox News says the polls are rigged - except that their OWN poll matches all the others...Hmmm. Perhaps their 'news' is skewed toward a 'political' agenda not a truth agenda? Especially when they don't even report their OWN poll results!?! Why pay good money and not use the result? (Perhaps because of how the result resulted...! Ha!)
Dick Morris says he has a 'secret poll' that shows Romney ahead in all the swing states plus Pennsylvania and Puerto Rico. (Except that Puerto Rico doesn't get to vote in the general election - oh, right...)
Dick Morris is a tool.

Whoopsi. MSNBC caught manipulating video. Again. Anyone surprised? Sweet Jesus, Joe, sweet Jesus.
BUSTED: MSNBC Doctored Clip From Romney/Ryan Rally
“The crowd was yelling,” caller Sherry recounts, “the crowd was screaming ‘Romney! Romney!’ and Romney, being the gentleman [he is], we can‘t get in his head because he’s so stinking nice, he stopped us to add ‘Romney-Ryan.’”
Just because Obama leads in the polls doesn't mean an automatic win in November as there is far too much talk about vote suppression and disqualification in Florida and other states.
Romney got picked on by US Republicans like how Russians picked on Putin as a last resourt in this round for lack of another choice, except in this round Putin has tired experience.

70 yr. old Ohio Republican Voter: "I’ve Never Seen Such HATE as This Year in the Republican Party"

Conservatives may delude themselves into thinking that all would be fine and dandy if they had only elected a "true conservative" candidate, but when a 70 yr. old, retired, former small business owner from Cincinnati, who has voted Republican virtually all his life, starts getting upset over all the hate exuding from the current crop of Republicans, then not only is your Presidential candidate in trouble, your brand is in trouble, too.

This is how you quickly do the math on the Romney-Ryan tax plan
On “Fox News Sunday,” Chris Wallace repeatedly asked Paul Ryan to explain how the math on his tax plan added up. Ryan pretended not to understand Wallace’s question, called the Tax Policy Center study “thoroughly debunked” when it’s not even been dented, and, finally, retreated behind a particularly sad excuse for a politician who built his reputation on explaining policy in understandable terms: “It would take me too long to go through all the math.”
Aside from betraying the principles of policy communication that Ryan once stood for, this response isn’t even true. It doesn’t take very long at all to go through the math. In fact, it’s only a few steps.
1) In 2015, the Romney-Ryan rate reduction will reduce tax revenue by $480 billion compared to current policy. That’s the raw number, before you start arguing over behavioral responses or growth.
2) Of that $480 billion, 39.1 percent, or $187 billion, will go to the top 1 percent.
3) Since the Romney-Ryan plan isn’t supposed to cut taxes on the rich or increase the deficit, all Romney and Ryan need to do is identify $480 billion in tax breaks they’re going to close, of which at least $187 billion needs to come from the top 1 percent.
4) If they believe that accelerated economic growth or behavioral responses are going to close some of that gap for them, they need to say how much, and what they’re basing that assumption on.
That’s it. This isn’t advanced calculus. It’s arithmetic.

- The $480 billion isn't 'lost'. The money is still in the economy and even if it's in a checking account, tax will extracted from it for as long as it remains in the economy.
- Do the math on the actual volume of dollars contributed by all of the demographic groups. The top 1% contribute a vastly higher proportion (relatively) of the overall taxes.
- Tax havens / off shore accounts
- A disingenuous comment that reeks of the expectation that Romney-Ryan have a crystal ball. The only reason that this comment was included is because the authors want to shoot holes in Romney's assumptions and replace them with assumptions of their own.
What a ridiculous comment from a partisan hack - Yeah sure, arithmetic applied to trillions of possible transactions.

Maybe just a little bit longer than doing the tax returns for the nation.
