reading that reminded me of this, in which factcheck explains romney's claims about obama and welfare are incorrect (what a surprise )

Obama cannot run on his record, and so he must destroy Romney.

Obama added 5 trillion to the debt, bringing us to 16 trillion and counting.

That's 4 million bags of $4 million dollars each. $4 million squared.

Unemployment has gone up, peaking at just short of 10% even after cooking the books.

Forcing through a medical takeover that the majority of people do not want.

What, besides dishing out teleprompter scrolled condescension, has this guy really done?

Each individual has to make his/her own assessment, but I know that I'm not dumb enough to vote for him. He's shown us nothing good.

romney's doing a good enough job of destroying himself, obama just has to sit back and watch him implode.

and i'm pretty sure romney has only been attacking obama, rather than run on his 'record'.

I won't disagree that Romney has made some missteps. He's far from perfect. But he doesn't need to be that great to be preferable to Obama.

He doesn't need to be that great?

I can't facepalm enough. This once great country is gone and has been co-opted by special interests that prey on people like Joey who would rather the world end than a baby be aborted.

Tired of this s.hit. Need to go back to states rights so I can have a chance of getting away from these idiots. Right now it's impossible.

Well I guess Romney lost any chance of stealing the freeloaders votes from Obama.

This just the flavor of the week in the MSM's coordinated campaign to destroy Romney to protect their failed dear leader. Last week it was the comments about Obama apologizing to to thugs. Can you imagine if the MSM did this with the comments from those two idiots Obama and Biden?

i enjoyed that one, thanks for posting.


the footage, recorded at an "intimate fundraiser" with "a small group of wealthy contributors," offers an extraordinary look at what the candidate is like when he's around people he perceives to be worthy of what he believes is the truth.


it was a moment of pure, unadulterated honesty.
