Mittens flunked his first diplomatic assignment before he even leaves the country
Australian foreign minister is insulted and has denied that he made the remarks that mittens said he did
Do you think mittens knows when to stop lying
:
: Perhaps not ..what a debacle
http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/national/14345544/bob-carr-denies-romney-diplomatic-gaffe/
I KNEW something like this would happen! And it happened before Willard even was out of the gate! International leaders can't possibly take this lying, sociopathic, self-contradicting flip-flopper seriously.

At this time, I think it is now fair to conclude that the Romneys are people who think their sh-t don't stink (opinion piece): Ann Romney's 'You People' Remark Makes Americans Angry as Hell: "These few poorly chosen words strung together equal one HUGE red flag. A major indicator of how out of touch the Romneys are and how they see us, the American people. Sure she could have been referring specifically to the media since she was speaking directly to a newswoman, but what is the media other than a messenger of information for us the American people? Ultimately, it's the VOTERS who want to see these tax returns. And judging from Ann Romney's remark, it sounds like the Romneys' attitude is basically, "We're above this demand. We don't want to share anymore about how insanely rich we are. Now back off, you little pee-on trolls!" What's truly terrifying: If Mitt's acting like he should be exempt from taking action the public is asking for, how can we expect him to have our best interests at heart as President? I shudder at the thought." http://www.cafemom.com/articles/in_the_news/140674/ann_romneys_you_people_remark?utm_medium=sem2&utm_campaign=prism&utm_source=outbrain&utm_content=0

21st Century Paul:
mustangsally10:
All that money that Reagan & Thatcher said was supposed to TRICKLE DOWN
when taxes were cut for the wealthy ...well we finally found out where it went
It went offshore
It sure didn't do the economy any good
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/jul/21/offshore-wealth-global-economy-tax-havens Between 21 & 32 TRILLION offshore
mittens money is there too
taxes for you but not for him
In Spain we say "Time tells who is right". Maybe we have needed 30 years but now is plain to see that reducing tax for the rich harms the economy a lot. It happened too in the 20s... then the Great Depression. The New Deal and all that was not charity, was a way to allow capitalism survive.
The New Deal and all that was not charity, was a way to allow capitalism survive
This is what so many do not understand. And the stimulus that are taken now it's the same...to allow capitalism to survive.

And right on time
looks like Obama agrees with us

That's it... and that's why Europeans doesn't want to become like the USA. I mean economy-like... except for some of the richest class that has the same mindset as some of the richest class in the USA or so... I'm tired. I have talked enough about politics until 2013 or so.

Yes, it's not communism quite the oppossite. Actually the ones against are the anti-system people really. The "market fundamentalist" thing as if market will solve everything for itself... as it was some kind of perfect God. It's just not true, just let the market absolutely free and see fall the too big to fall.... It's not charity, it's not altruism, is survival of the fittest.... system. System darwinism, using some of the typical neoliberalism words... If a system doesn't survive is because he is lazy, he doesn't deserve it... he's not that brilliant, he doesn't make a big contribution to society's needs, he does meet the demands of the people... Apply to system instead of people and see what happens. To the big picture. So capitalism, the ego-based, survival of the "fittest", we take of our own, it's everyone for themselves.... ...needs help to survive. That's the irony of it. And it needs to help people to survive. It depends on "the people" to have help back. He can do without them. But that's going out of its own mindset, where "Help" is not part of the vocabulary. Out of the system itself. It doesn't help and it doesn't allow being helped. "Helping each other out" is kind of "anti-capitalist" for capitalism but he can make it without that. And I've written enough.

So, conservatives...how exactly are Republicans better fiscally than Democrats? I'm confused.

Poll: Obama making headway with effort to plant doubts about Romney: http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-poll-obama-making-headway-with-effort-to-plant-doubts-about-romney-20120724,0,3896047.story "Among independent voters, the group considered most crucial to the outcome in November, 37% said they would like to learn more about Romney?s activities at Bain Capital, the private equity firm he co-founded. Obama has gone after Romney for facilitating the shift of U.S. jobs overseas, a particularly sensitive subject with voters in battleground states such as Ohio, which suffered an exodus of manufacturing employment over the years. Forty-two percent of independents would also like to hear more about Romney?s record as Massachusetts governor, a four-year stint that included enactment of an individual healthcare mandate that became a model for the current federal law. Obama?s attacks have tried to suggest that Romney?s job-creation record in the Bay State doesn?t match his campaign rhetoric, though he has yet to make healthcare a primary focus." It is no surprise to me that the more you hear from Romney directly the more you learn nothing. It's also no surprise that the closer you get to the truth with Romney the more it stinks.

Interesting comment from a Romney supporter (my apologies for the harsh language, but the ugliness needs to be exposed to those who deny the clear racism that exists among the Republican constituency): "Romeny is pointing out, just how bad and stupid the dumb negro is, as he should, all the negros that support this brown clown are even dumber and should be put out of their misery cause they are not smart enough to work or make good decisions, so all they do is cost society.. we should nueter them and stop them from breeding" (you conservatives must be so proud) http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2012/0724/Obama-going-soft-on-Romney-Don-t-believe-it.-video
