- Locutus ... Thanks for your typically fair and balanced critique of my writing style. I promise to critique your writing style if you ever actually write anything that might be original and/or interesting and/or useful. Since I only read for profit or amusement, I have avoided your posts but will try to pay closer attention in the future.


For profit- then you are poor
For amusement- you need a sense of humor to be amused.

- JLM ... I am proudly Canadian and tend to be a Red Tory who is conservative on economic and fiscal issues and moderate on social issues. My strong preference for Romney in the US election is not primarily an ideological thing but rather is based on my belief that he is a far more qualified and proven leader to run the executive branch of the US government, that Obama has been an unmitigated failure and disaster on everything he has tackled as POTUS, and that Romney would be a beneficial choice not only for the US but for Canada and the West.

O.K. Teddy, you likely know more about it than I do! When it comes to politics I'm non partisan- just vote for whoever I think can make things work! Actually I find American politics very confusing, not to mention dragged out for about 50 weeks longer than need be.

BTW ... I notice this morning that the 7 day Gallup tracking poll of over 3000 registered voters has the race dead even and the 3 day Rassmussen tracking poll of 1500 likely voters also has the race dead even. So I wouldn't be breaking out the celebratory champagne just yet in either the Democratic or the Republic camp.

But this time the debates may prove to be critical as they were in the 1960, 1976 and 1980 elections and Romney will do very well indeed in those debates even if Obama doesn't say anything ridiculous such as he did on Letterman earlier this week when he actually said that he didn't know what the national debt was when he took office.

In any case, it is getting interesting south of the border.

Like you I am a fiscal conservative but far more liberal on social policy. I see Obama as much like Carter. Ineffective but doing no real harm.ROmney OTH seems wishy washy and will say whatever he thinks the listener wants to hear. His past as a vulture capitalist worries me some but mostly it is all the wingnuts in the party that he will be beholden to that scare the $hit out of me.

Did the returns he's now released have layers? :)

Now, based on what we've heard from the above videos, it's time to see Obama's college records, and the long form birth certificate, no? I mean, if he had nothing to hide, he would say "have at it", right? Right!?

Tay ... For YOU of all people to question someone else's credibility is beyond hilarious. You're so far in the tank or the trough (and presumably on the take) for Obama and the loony left that nothing you say can be taken seriously by anyone to the right of Karl Marx and Che Guevera.
He's looking for polyps.

- In this hilarious CNBC Kudlow Report video, cracked pot Democrat Howard 'Dr. Demento' Dean continues to attempt the impossible which is to defend Reid and other scumbag Democrats who knowingly libelled and slandered Romney on the tax front to divert the voters from paying closer attention to Obama's dreadful record of failure and to continue to attack Romney on the phony tax issue.

- The video is hilarious because anyone with a functioning cerebral cortex can see right through Dean's BS and bafflegab and because it illustrates that from Obama through the Democratic Party chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz through Dean, Reid and the rest of these disgusting duplicitous troughers what most characterizes the Democratic leadership is that they can lie without shame or embarrassment and with a smile and change their lies on a dime and by 180 degrees.


Howard Dean: Yeah, Harry Reid has some credibility issues now, huh? « Hot Air

Romney stated he paid what was required by law. So change the law- increase taxes and cut spending.

taxslave ... Please consider that 1/ venture capitalism has a valid place in spuring investment, growth and jobs in the American private sector and expertise in this area especially at this time is preferable to ignorance in this area and 2/ guys that have made their fortunes and are independently wealthy and 65 years of age or older - which describes Mitt Romney - are much less likely to be beholden to wingnuts or to anyone else and more likely to chart their own course and stand their ground than are younger and less affluent guys still on the make like Barry Obama who has several really nutty and unseemly associates who worry me.

- That being said, I, too, am not a fan of the Tea Partiers anymore than I was a fan of Reform when Manning formed it and thereby split the conservative vote and enabled Jean Chretien - the guy who speaks neither official language and looks like the driver of the getaway car and reads nothing longer than tabloid newspapers and has not had an original idea of his own since about 1962 when he came to Ottawa and who got the Liberal leader gig by seniority and ass kissing - to become PM.

- However, the guy best equipped to handle the Tea Partiers because of his wealth and independence is Mitt Romney who also proved he could handle a state legislature that was 87% composed of the other party.

Hilarious!!

Mitt invests (through a blind trust) in the Caymans, Bermuda, China and Russia....oh the HORROR!

Has it occurred to any of these idiots that were he hiding money, it wouldn't appear on his tax return??

Even better: Mitten invested in Swedish Kroner and Australian and Canadian dollars "against" the US dollar!!

Has it occurred to any of these idiots that only a moron would bet on the US dollar with Obama in power???

Venture capitalist are fine. Romney is a VULTURE capitalist. They are not fine.
Romney's supporters will still expect him to do their bidding. Especially the tea party.

Before we get too concerned about Romney's taxes I think we should figure out if he's fit to run a country!

And if he is maybe he should start out with a small one like Litchestein!

If he were to go to Litchestein (SP), then he would not be eligible to run for office from there.

And he is much better qualified than Mr. Obama was when HE took office, and he remains being MUCH MORE qualified than Mr. Obama.
Of course, Mr. Obama and his reelection team would MUCH rather people talk about anything other than his actual record while in Office.

And the republicans are averse to say the least at having any stumping done by George the Lesser- not even an invite to the convention. Translate averse to Bush the lesser having a bad case of the plague.

Well 2 wars, trillions in costs for those, the financial mess that ensued. Myself I cannot understand how they can overlook the man the cheered as a minor deity for so many years.

Can someone explain that to a poor DDH.

Mr. Obama inherited a lot of fiscal corruption centred around Wall St. and Sub Prime mortgages and sleezy C.E.O.s across the entire corporate sector. Obama comes across better to the little man and wage slave than does Romney.

- JLM ... Since you actually seem like one of the more reasonable and fair minded people on this board of mainly left wing ideologues, may I suggest that instead of unwittingly drinking the Obama kool-aide you actually get to know more about the real Obama rather than the false image the left has portrayed about him. When you do, you'll meet a singularly selfish, self centered and lying prick who does nothing while close relatives live in abject poverty which contrasts with Romney who has quietly and selflessly helped literally hundreds of people whom he didn't know or barely knew in the course of his adult life with charitable labour and money not to mention the thousands of others whom he has helped in the course of his business career.

Here's some REAL information about BO and the stench is clearly rank:

I tend to take people at face value which may be a mistake. Obama strikes me as a decent man, which I may extend to his ability as President. I've often thought most of the hatred and vitriol extended to Bush was based more on emotion than fact, although I do think in hindsight his invasion of Iraq was a costly mistake, although I can see a lot of justification for it. I can see where people think Obama is out of his league as president, but I sincerely think he is trying to do the right thing, but lacks the sophisitication to be a good president. He has probably learnt a lot in his first term & think he may do well in a second term.
