Sadly for him, that's about all he has to run on.
Interesting to me that Romney's greatest success as a politician (Romneycare) and as a businessman (destroying Ameican companies and outsourcing jobs to India, so he could make hundreds of millions of dollars for Bain) are the two things he's trying hardest to run away from. Take some pride in yourself, man!

For some reason, I recently started for the first time really appreciating history. Until now, but mostly long ago, History had been yet a...

My friend Harry Bryans emailed me yesterday commenting on this Jayson Stark column on the amazing play Chase Utley made in the 2008 World S...
we could throw a dart at the phonebook and where ever it lands would be head and shoulders over what we have now (unless it hits a J Biden in Delaware)....Obama said he would cut the deficit in half (one of many big unfullfilled promises) ...his only plans are to spend more money when the trillions in "stimulus" debt he already spent HAD NO EFFECT. (he's really not that smart is he?, doubling down on what already has been proven not to work)
ReplyDeleteNow the government’s own people are warning that we are heading into another recession...hell we never got out of the first one...all we got for our money is deeper in debt, Obama clueless on how to fix it, how to lead…all he does is go after petty Chicago style attacks…..no substance, no ideas.
I’ll take a successful business man who knows how to make money over Obama throwing money at friends in the politically correct “green” energy business anyday....
then they in turn take some of that money (our money) and give it to his campaign….beautiful money laundering business….the Mafia couldn’t have done it better…..then the business goes bankrupt….Obama keeps his campaign money, his friends who ran these bankrupt businesses get fat severance packages and many wind up working for his administration…happy, happy, happy…all except the taxpayer paying the bills…
Obama is the biggest joke going, the emperor has no clothes….even the people around him know it….Europe knows it,Newsweek finally woke up this week with their cover story...He Got to Go... Putin laughs at him….didn’t think anyone could be worse than Carter but Obama became the fastest worse president ever….at least he accomplished something of note….oh yes and his Nobel Peace Prize….was there ever a more laughable award….the press gave him a free ride, no vetting, no tough questions….love and kisses from the world, a Nobel Peace Prize…what was it?, 2 days after he got into office? Even the “anointed One” himself couldn’t believe it…but you see the worlds intellectuals invested a lot in Obama and they would not be proven wrong….they must have crapped a brick during the campaign when a lowly Joe “the plumber” almost unraveled the great one with one simple question and Obama struggling to hide his true agenda….to take Joes rewards from any risk and effort he might invest in his own business and distribute it to others…really Mr. President…is that how our Founders envisioned it?
All I know is I can't lose this election...if Obama wins, I win...because the mess he made, the costs of Obamacare are all due to hit in his second term....the debt he gave us, the trillions wasted will all have a payday in his second term, many businesses realizing the costs associate with Obamacare will elect to pay the fine and stop providing healthcare to employees...Obamas lies will come home to roost in his second term...so part of me want to see him wallow in the mess he created..
If Romney wins then I win too because he and Ryan will get us back on track....the adults will be in power....Government will shrink, taxes will shrink and business will grow....serious entitlement reform will save those bankrupt programs not destroy them as Obamas senseless spending and entitlement growth would do...
one thing we probably will lose in the balance is what Nancy Pelosi called a wonderful stimulis to the economy....food stamps....yep folks, thats one of the Democrats best ideas for growing the economy of this great Nation...food stamps and unemployment checks....their own words my friends....
you cant make stuff like that up.
Let's not forget what the deficit and economy were like when he took over.
DeleteLets not forget how the depression played out and compare it to today's situation.
Let's not forget that every new president gets the inside dope on all the stuff we don't (hence so many unfilled promises by MANY presidents).
Finally let's not forget that name calling is no substitute for facts.
Anonymous 2 - Great response, but you made one crucial error. Someone who writes they way the first person did has no capability for rational thought or discourse, but I sure do appreciate where your heart is.

ReplyDeleteLet's not forget what the deficit and economy were like when he took over. (HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS GETTING INTO...HE SAID HE WOULD FIX IT, HE SAID IF I DON'T FIX IT IN THREE YEARS I SHOULD GET ONE TERM, HE HAD TOTAL CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT FOR 2 YEARS...HE CHOSE TO WASTE HIS TIME ON A NEW ENTITLEMENT...HE INHERITED A BAD ECONOMY...HE MADE IT WORSE NOT BETTER.
REMEMBER REAGAN INHERITED A MESS FROM CARTER...BUT REAGAN SHRANK THE GOVERNMENT AND GREW THE PRIVATE SECTOR...ONE DAY OF REAGANS JOB GAINS ONCE HIS RECOVERY TOOK HOLD IS EQUAL TO A MONTH OF OBAMA DISMAL GAINS....AND THOSE ARE FACTS MY FRIEND
Lets not forget how the depression played out and compare it to today's situation.(OBAMA MADE A BAD SITUATION WORSE...HERE IS A QUOTE FROM THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET (oh forgot, 3 years and DEMSHAVE NO BUDGET EVEN THOUGH IT'S A MANDATE...THE BUDGET OFFICE SAID ON WEDNESDAY THAT WE ARE NEARING A FINANCIAL CLIFF AND IF TAXES GO UP AND SPENDING IS NOT CUT...WE COULOD VERY WELL SLIP INTO A MORE SEVERE RECESSION...(I assume they were being polite...an OBAMA INDUCED DEPRESSION WOUOLD BE MORE LIKE IT.
Let's not forget that every new president gets the inside dope on all the stuff we don't (hence so many unfilled promises by MANY presidents).
Finally let's not forget that name calling is no substitute for facts.(FACTS??? EVERYTHING I STATED WAS A FACT...JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH DOESN'T MEAN IT ISN'T THE TRUTH...
FACT 1...OBAMA SAID HE WOULD HALF THE DEFICIT
FACT 2...OBAMA DID NOT HALF THE DEFICIT HE INCREASED IT MORE THAN ALL THE PRESIDENTS IN HISTORY PUT TOGETHER
FACT 3...OBAMA SAID IF WE PASSED HIS TRILLION DOLLAR MONEY DROP UNEMPLOYMENT WOULD DROP BELOW 8%
FACT 4...OBAMA WASTED THE STIMULIS ON FRIENDS AND PET PROJECTS IN GREEN ENERGY THAT DID NOT ADD JOBS OR GREEN ENERGY
FACT 5...THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE DID NOT DROP AS OBAMA PREDICTED IT WOULD IF ONLY WE SPENT MORE MONEY AND GREW GOVERNMENT JOBS...AS THE GOVERNMENT GREW UNDER OBAMA (ANOTHER FACT) THE PRIVATE SECTOR SHRANK...AS IT ALWAYS DOES WHEN GOVERNMENT GROWES...(ANOTHER FACT)
FRIEND....I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU THINK I WAS MISSING FACTS...EVERYTHING I STATED WAS A FACT....ON THE PUBLIC RECORD OR VERIFIED BY THE GOVERNMENTS OWN NUMBERS..
HERE IS ANOTHER FACT FOR YOU...THE EUROPEAN FAILED SOCIAL SYSTEM THAT OBAMA IS COPYING HAS FAILED....THE 115 POINT DROP IN THE DOW TODAY WAS BECAUSE OF THE UNRAVELING OF THE SOCIALIST STATE IN EUROPE...WORSE TIMES ARE AHEAD...IT IS A FACT THAT OBAMA WANTED TO EMULATE THIS FAILED MODEL...THAT IS NOT SMART....THE MODEL FAILED, A 5TH GRADER CAN READ HOW IT FAILED AND YET THE SMARTEST MAN ON THE PLANET CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT...ALL FACTS
FACTS YOU MAY NOT LIKE BUT FACTS NONE THE LESS
hey Jamie.....everything I said was rational and I will be happy to debate you civilly on any issue…first could you please state where I erred or where I did not present facts or where I was not rational..
ReplyDeletesomething I said must have hit you to make such a comment so please point out the specific comment you are referring to…
your lead comment that started the discussion was that…that is all Romney has???? What the heck is that all about, clearly you don’t understand business….you don’t understand venture capitalist.
They take big risks of risky or failing businesses….some businesses that were not run effectively…some they help turn around and save jobs and some fail….both are good for the economy. If the business rights itself and gets more competitive that is good…and if a poorly run business doesn’t learn from its mistakes and it fails that is good too….the weak business should fail so that its business can be absorbed by stronger more effective businesses…
I see your picture out in the natural surroundings….take a lesson from nature Jamie and not from MSNBC….in nature the weak fall and as a result the herd is strengthened….Romney did that in business except he tried to help the weak get stronger…if they did not they died….a good result for the herd.
And why don’t you consider the success stories he helped create…STAPLES…have you heard of them? Steel mills. Countless businesses….you are the one making comments off the cuff, no facts….not me.
You have your talking points down but no cognitive thinking going on I’m afraid…
At any rate I’m calling your bluff….tell me specifically where I miss stated a fact or whatever I said to get your undies in a knot
You are mixing an occasional fact with a lot of non-facts and opinions. I know enough about folks who are strong in their opinions and there is no more sense in trying to prove the errors of your ways than in your trying to change my mind. But in any case, thanks for visiting my site and for your input! What's your name, by the way?
ReplyDeletewhat a cop out jamie....you are funny....on the 23th you say "that someone who writes like me has no capacity for rational though or discourse"...then I present FACTS very little opinion....try to engage you in some fact based discourse and you completely fold..
ReplyDeleteI find that happens every time I try to debate a liberal and the debate moves from liberal emotion to the facts....every time the liberal folds, just like you did..
I went to the Greek festival in delaware a few months ago...there was a couple handing out obama flyers, my brother and I very respectfully began to engage them in specific fact based discussion about obama, his lies, his failures, his inability to lead, his lack of agenda, his failure to pass a budget...3 years and no budget as required by law...they did the same thing you just did...
couldn't answer the questions, couldn't defend...so they said just about what you just said....can't change your mind so lets not discuss this...have a nice day.
liberals can't defend their positions because the facts most ofter prove their positions to be wrong, but liberals can't tolerate that because it FEELS like their positions should work, when proven wrong they just back away, won't debate the issues and find comfort in associating only with like mined folks who won't challenge their ideology....those with differing opinion, or facts to prove them wrong need not apply..
you just did that my friend....accused me on not being able to discourse on the issues...then as soon as I do...you dismiss me...please don't bother me with facts is what you are saying, they might upset my feel good philosophy
think about it jamie before you start calling names....you are guilty of what you accuse me of....you can't discourse on facts and you won't debate....
Well, as I say, thanks for your thoughts and for visiting the site. Come back often!
ReplyDeleteI rest my case
ReplyDeleteI doubt it! :-)
