And we should kick our Harry Reid for saying he will not work with Romney. What an idiot that guy.

George are you talking about our RULER who wants us to vote for revenge?

That sounds very similar to his remarks in the past when he called Americans the enemy.

If Mitt . . . Romney . . . wins . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . whew, sorry, had to control the shudder . . . Harry Reid will need to have a firm hand. Mitt will be a puppet for Rove and Norquist and further controlled by theTea Party. "Mr. Reid flatly ruled out following Mr. Romney’s agenda, saying he and his colleagues have already voted down many of those proposals, including House Republicans’ budget, written by Republican vice presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan."
“Mitt Romney has demonstrated that he lacks the courage to stand up to the tea party, kowtowing to their demands time and again. There is nothing in Mitt Romney’s record to suggest he would act any differently as president,” Mr. Reid said.

@Aaron, another taken-out-of-context mis-quote. Here's why and what he said:

"voting is the best revenge," Obama aides say the comment reflects Romney "scare tactics."
Obama made the comment as part of a familiar speech riff; when audience members boo the mention of Romney's name, the president habitually says, "don't boo -- vote"

On Friday in Springfield, Ohio, Obama added the phrase: "Voting is the best revenge."

Asked about the comment, Obama campaign spokesperson Jen Psaki said Obama made the comment in the context that Romney is "closing his campaign with an ad full of scare tactics that's frightening workers in Ohio and thinking falsely that they're not going to have a job."

If you want to get a real feel for who Aaron is, just read ths post that he made over in another thread:

"Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a free cell phone with free monthly minutes, food stamps, section 8 housing, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime."

I know, Watts, I saw that but considered the source and ignored it.

MIKE Chubby

So it was ok for McConnell to say it but not Reid. I didnt see you anywhere coming out against the Republic congress when they stated they would not work with the President.

Neil, that Chubby guy is a fictitious something-or-other. He's just trying to taunt Mike Chubre, and feebly attempting to be funny like David and Chris. Pay him no nevermind. In other words, don't feed the trolls. Class clowns all three. :D

George-

Remember what the President said when first elected "Ha, I won".

Remember how Obamacare was pushed through? It impacts 18% of the economy directly and indirectly impacts the rest. It has generated a huge amount of uncertainty for businesses.

Why in the world did he push through Obamacare before focusing on jobs and housing? If urgent, why the 3 year delay in implementing?

Why didn't Obamacare focus more on controlling costs vs insurance reforms? That is, malpractice reforms (reduce costly defensive medicine), consumer incentive for everyone, etc.

Why did the President ask for a debt commission, but then ignored?

http://www.pgpf.org/Issues/Fiscal-Outlook/2012/09/adv-theres-no-debate-presidential-candidates-must-address-debt.aspx

I like the President, but on fiscal and business related issues, I think way off the mark.

Ever try reading Dodd-Frank? They are still trying to write the regs as the entire banking industry waits. Not just wall street, but nearly every bank.

Still waiting for detailed answers from Obama:
(1) What are your plans for comprehensive tax reform?
(2) What are your plans for entitlement reform?
(3) What are your plans for overall spending reforms?

Why these questions: See CNBC's "Are we rich or poor?" debate (worth watching):
http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=1604902615

Again, I like and respect him, but not on fiscal matters.

Yeah, and don't forget how the Republicans set the date of the election on the same day my government check arrives in the mail. I can't even vote because I'll be waiting for the mailman. And my free phone should be here next week too. I can hardly wait. I'm so excited about switching parties and becoming a Liberal.

David. Don't tell me you haven't gotten your phone yet. Good God! Did you tell them you need it so you could call and complain about cable TV service?

I understand how frustrated you must feel. And now... you won't get to vote either? Geeez!

No Chris, I'm still waiting. I think it should be here next week. I asked them to ship it overnight since someone else was paying for it anyway but they put it on UPS. Something about using a union shipper being a requirement. I don't understand all the liberal stuff yet. I'm just learning.

I did ask about getting you on disability for your mental problems. They gave me a number for an attorney that specializes in that stuff. He said it takes time but should be no problem. 98% success rate. I'm looking into that versus welfare; trying to determine which gets me the most money.

That is truly appalling. I appreciate you looking out for me. I had another episode this morning. Being mentally challenged is driving me crazy. I was flipping through channels and came across a story on MSNBC about how great this new "FREE HEALTHCARE" is going to be. I became so excited, I wet my pants. It's just such a marvel that we have come this far and advanced in America. Seems like just yesterday I was making Co-Pays at the doctor and now healthcare is free to all Americans and a whole bunch of people too that apparently aren't even supposed to be in this country. Why didn't we think of this a L O N G time ago? It's the best thing since that block of American welfare cheese we used to get in the 70's. I bet if we want to we can make things FREE for everybody around the world. Why would we ever pay for something that can be made FREE by a few politicians that say stupid things on TV? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3Bg_AB2pBg

I think I am going to see about getting a card that I can use at the new bottle shop in Grayson. If I can get FREE whiskey, wine and beer, I will next try the butcher shop and BestBuys.

Well David, good luck with you new iPhone. I hope they can get their act together so you can start calling and texting. Please keep us updated about your wife's abortion. You planning to do the partial birth thing or conventional coat hanger?

http://www.factcheck.org/2009/10/the-obama-phone/ another myth forced upon us by the tea party.

Safelink a subsidised telephone was implimented by Bush administration in 2008.

Quote from factcheck.org

This specific program, SafeLink, started under President George Bush, with grants from an independent company created under President Bill Clinton, which was a legacy of an act passed under President Franklin Roosevelt, which was influenced by an agreement reached between telecommunications companies and the administration of President Woodrow Wilson.

Both sides are playing games. We need to reform the way we vote. I used to live in NYC and actually saw "funny business". We need to balance reducing fraud with providing greater access.

Hmmm? How can the 538 be skewed? All it is an aggregate of all polling throughout the country. Nate Silver then uses historical data to draw his conclusion.

In 2008 he was right in 49 of 50 states in Senate races and hit model picked Obama to win based on statistical analysis.

To say the 538 is skewed is nonsense. People lie...(aka Republicans and Mitt Romney) but real numbers and past data do not.

L o w i n f o r m a t i o n v o t e r s, Greg. In my humble opinion.

But I have to wonder what any Romney voters are thinking. Who knows Romney better than anybody? How about the state who actually voted him in before, as Governor. So let's take a moment to look at how the only state who has any working knowledge about how Romney governs, is voting...

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/ma/massachusetts_romney_vs_obama-1804.html

The average of all polls, whether you believe some to be conservative or liberal leaning, still gives Obama a 20+ point lead. So my question is, why aren't more people paying attention to this? You can't shrug it off that it is MA and they always lean this way, because they voted Romney himself in as a Republican. The reality is that Romney can't even get close in this election in the only state that he has governed before, where the people actually know what you get if you vote for Romney. If he was the success that he pretends to be in MA, don't you think that he would be leading in MA or at the very least, have a close race going on there?

Yep, Mitt was a bad date for the state of Massachusetts. Ryan is no more popular in his home state.

True, they never had a lead in WI, not even a bounce when Paul Ryan was picked as VP.

Watts....this is because Romney was a terrible Governor. 47th in Job creation. Swore he would not raise taxes (lied) and then imposed higher fee's on everything in the state, cut local aid to cities and towns and force the locatlies to raise taxes on his behalf. He also was not present in the state for the last year and a half of his Governorship, because he was too busy running around the country trying to become President.

People can hate Obama all they want, but the fact is Romney is doing exactly what he did in Mass. Lie to your face and if you elect him he will stab you in your eye.

But George, at the Liberal meeting this weekend, they told me to vote FOR amendment One. It gives the state control over education of kids instead of letting the locals control everything. Did I miss something? I'm new at this liberal stuff so get confused easily. Besides, they didn't even give me a pen to write with. When I was a Republican, they always gave me a pen with the candidates name. I guess its because they are rich and we progressives are so poor.

You didn't even get a pen? This liberal retardation thing may be harder than you think David.

Here David Brown. Maybe YOU FAILED to read:

:Patch is under no obligation to enforce the Patch Terms of Use on your behalf or based on a claim by you that another user has violated it"

Bring back the hanging chads!!!

@Sharon:
Hear, hear. The 2000 election was a nightmare. Heck, I lived in Florida back then, and I found myself half-agreeing with the pundits who said we ought to cede the state back to Spain! This one will be close, no doubt, but whichever way it goes, I hope it's definitive and indisputable.

Is that in HD? Cause I traded my food stamps for a HD TV.

Those are the New Black Panthers that will be overseeing.

Settle down, T.O. From the PATCH article Crystal references below:
"In an effort to dispel myths about the election monitoring, the Organization for Security and Co-operation (OSCE) issued a few statements on the accuracy of previous media reports. For starters, they are not an agency of the UN. Second, according to their website, "OSCE observers have not been invited by one political faction to investigate claims against any other political faction. The OSCE observers have been invited by the United States Government."

GW BUSH invited the monitors in 10 years ago. They have been at every national election since :D Fact finding is so much fun.

http://snellville.patch.com/articles/un-to-monitor-u-s-elections

At least you can own up to it

Is it you, Sportsfan? I have my suspicions as to the true identity, but it's not worth anyone's time to pay attention to class clowns.

Chris...I happen to have moved from Mass to GA myself. What you say is a lie...just like Mitt. He was not a fine Governor. Do you not remember the fees he imposed? Increase in that were imposed by local Government because Mitt cut aid to towns and cities? Remember how he was against Federal money for disasters and then the Dam's broke in Taunton? He had to eat his words and ask for Federal Money.

He was also not present for the last year and a half while in office because he was running around the country trying to become president and bad mouthing Mass at the same time.

If you really lived in Mass you'd know I have stated the true facts.

Also, why did he destory all of the hard drives from State computers when he left office and what about the state jobs that were outsourced to India that he claimed he knew nothing about.

Come on Chris P....don't lie. Mitt stunk and you know it!!

47% . . . hmmmm . . . where have we heard that number before? That is karma, poetic justice, revenge even. Even so, I hope after the polls close tomorrow night Mitt's share will be lower. Then maybe we will hear no more, see no more from him. He can retire to the Caymans to count his money or attend one of GWB's seminars to learn how to hide more money from the USA.

Sure...I will say that Bill Weld, Paul Celucci...Repubs were pretty decent. Romney stunk. How you can say a Governor who spent 417 days out of office was great is mind boggling to me. Just because Mass may lean Dem, does not mean that Mitt is somehow great. He was terrible. I notice you said nothing about the fact he raised taxes and fees...because you know he did buddy. Killed the middle class...yes indeed!!

As for Bengahzi, only the Republican Right is going on and on over this issue. Republicans never were up in arms over no WMD, but are up in arms over an issue that is till being investigated. There is no cover up. It may take months before we have the final word.

Just like Obama and his presidency, everyone thought we'd have answers in 4 yrs with 8 yrs destruction from Bush.

The give me, I want right now society that we live in nowadays is the problem.

Also...yeah...that surplus....Right it came from the backs of the Middle Class shouldering those taxes and fees that Mitt Swore he was not going to raise but did....ole flip flop Mitt....stick it to the middle class. Balance the books off the middle class....yep The Romney/Ryan Way!!

Gregg the fact that you're not outraged about Benghazi tells me all I need to know about you. Can we agree on one thing, "You could care less about the truth".
As for WMD you mean the same WMD that Clinton and Kennedy and Kerry thought were there??

Oh by the way I'm middle class and very much alive, I guess Romney didn't kill the middle class after all. ha ha

Tomorrow I cast my ballot for Mitt Romney. Irregardless of the outcome on Tuesday Obama's handling of Benghazi is an impeachable offense!!!

Totally agree....Good Grief Y'all is right!!

I hope you turn back to stone and roll away after Obama loses.

Lots of posters will disappear after tomorrow, Chubs. PATCH will still have the die-hard ranters, conspiracy theorists, poutragers, but I'll probably consider my work done.
Happy election day! No matter the outcome, I'll still have a joyful life. :D

Buffoon

Yes, he is Mary S. So is his boss.

Really? What about this?

http://www.thepostgame.com/features/201211/washington-redskins-world-series-presidential-election-forecast-obama-romney

In the South, voting can be about commitment and conscience, not just about winning. The rest of the country will carry the election for President Obama.

Can't get nothing past you, Genius : }

Hilarious!

its scary to think that you might actually vote!!

Likewise FS!

Doesn't take a genius to keep up with Republican tricks, just lots of time because there are so many.

Hey, Chris P - are you also just plain Chris. You guys sound alike. And vote I certainly do. Waiting until tomorrow because I enjoy it so much more on the actual day. Early voting is not quite as satisfying, but just as effective!! :D

No we are two different posters. However it just makes the point that "Great Minds think Alike".
Sorry to hear you're voting but guess what, my vote cancels out yours!!!

Oh, Chris P, I know my Presidential vote doesn't count in GA, but I will enjoy showing President Obama yet another supporter from the deep South. My husband, too, so I guess he can cancel out one of your buddies. Since 2008, I have never, ever, ever voted for anyone with an R beside their name. Even people I know well and like, or candidates with no opposition. Just can't do it. My aversion started with George Bush and was forever set with the "maverick" McCain and Palin. McCain's VP choice may well have been the singular most damaging action to US politics, this country and the Republican Party, ever, ever, ever - well, since 2000. And, you know, that's exactly the main reason a lot of folks voted to elect Barack Obama. But, they got a bonus because he is such a great President. So, if you need someone to blame - go to McCain/Palin! Payback's a beotch. Oh, and WHERE'S RYAN? It is so funny that Romney can't use him in these closing days - had to send him to ALA to stay off the front page.

Correction, since 2008. Bush has to take credit for 2000-2008 in the most damage to this country, and probably the world. Before him, it's a toss-up between Ronnie and Tricky Dicky, but with the ongoing trickledown bad economics he gave the US, I vote for Ronnie. Eisenhower was the last great Republican president. Looks like he may be the last great Republican president ever to come, period.

Haha! Stretching to the far reaches of the globe to make your non-existent point.

@Chris
"The danger to America is not Mitt Romney but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Romney presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president”.

Mary Lou, have you ever made an original or even a fresh comment? I believe I have seen you on a number of other threads, cutting and pasting your own posts. LOL!

Food isn't what they eat.

So what’s so hard to believe?

She just practices “You didn’t build that” or “You didn't make that”

R, you forgot some words: "If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges, if you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet." http://factcheck.org/2012/07/you-didnt-build-that-uncut-and-unedited/ There, fixed that for you. He was talking about the roads and bridges, not the businesses, but you don't really want that correction, I know. Lies are what floats your boat.
If l o w i n f o r m a t i o n v o t e r s had ever heard President Obama speak, they would know what he was saying, they would understand his style and manner of speaking. They wouldn't have to rely on edited, out-of-context versions of his speeches being spoon fed to them by the Republican zombies.

That build it comment didn't hurt President Obama. Mitt's 47% comment - that hurt him. Reason it hurt him is because that was what he said, what he believes, not taken out of context, just a fluid, continuous running remark of his view of "you people".

Mary Lou, I know you and your sister want to dominate these threads. You're the ones who come in and take pot shots at anything anyone says which contradicts you. I can make a completely independent post, not directed at or following you and you can't wait to make one of your foolish poutrage remarks. I have noticed, though, that whenever I post a reference link there's silence from everyone but the classless clowns. I love it! Shows I've struck a nerve. Thanks for the compliment!

On FEMA, Romney has flip flop flip floped and maybe even flip flopped again.

As far as hurricane Sandy being an October surprise, beyond Obama showing how well he and FEMA immediately stepped into action, what killed Romney was his public dodging of every question on FEMA. He showed that given real life issues that a president would be dealing with, that he just didn't have it in him to be able to get his head around it. He could have answered those question with whatever masterful idea that he had for FEMA and what the nation saw was that he doesn't have any. Just like his mystery economic plan and anything else. He has been running on the Grover Norquist plan, which is to have a president just smart enough to hold a pen and the extreme fringe wing was to spoon feed this empty vessel. He has never been expected to have his own ideas. The plan was always to put a smile in front of the camera to implement an fringe agenda.

Wrong TO. All that's for you, your sissy and your guy friends so you can get edjumacated. LOL yourself. FB called and wants its letters back. So over and done. :D How old are you?

:) it really does work like that! hard as it can be sometimes..

GGY....it must be hell being surrounded by idiots...how do you manage?....truth is...you must be very lonely spending all of your time on these blogs patting yourself on the back...there's a real world out there....get on your broom and explore it....google doesn't have all the answers.

I would expect nothing less than such a comment from you, John B. You're so original. Google doesn't write the articles. But you can find a hell of a lot more by searching there that will lead to the truth than relying on Fox and the right-wing breitbart-type crap.

Take a look in the MIRROR!! Or, the pot calling the kettle black!! Which ever you choose.

If you want nice, TO, you should play nice. You don't.

But Obama is an "other." He even embraces it. So it can't be denied.

The division of America is a Democratic party phenomenon. "Middle class, wealthy, poor" are all Dem regurgitations. "Americans" is a Republican program, no divisions. Just a desire for true equality.

Boy, you really did miss my point, didn't you?
