Re: Romney/Ryan '12 Thread
Ok, Obviously Maher was joking. Newsbusters needs to get their panties out of a wad.
Quote:
(NewsBusters) – Bill Maher on HBO’s Real Time Friday might have said one of the most disgraceful things uttered during the 2012 campaign season.
“If you’re thinking about voting for Mitt Romney, I would like to make this one plea: black people know who you are and they will come after you”
Imagine for a moment the outrage if a conservative commentator said even jokingly to Obama supporters, “White people know who you are and they will come after you.”
That would be the end of that person’s career. Period. No questions asked. Done!
But Maher who’s adored by the Obama-loving media can say this with total impunity.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: HBO should be ashamed to have this disgusting man as one of its on air personalities. Period. End of story.

Will not fail at what? I have no doubt that Romney will not fail as a businessman who is looking out for his own interests. Romney as a public servant - I just do not see him interested in that kind of stuff.

His record as chair of the Olympics and Governor say otherwise.

Romney's no Bush and has the best history of anyone running to work across the aisle. Obama had the majority and didn't do much with it. I'm not seeing the "change" Obama promised and won't see it in a second term.
That may be, but unfortunately, he has this platform underneath him, and I find a lot of it not just disagreeable, but downright objectionable and offensive.

Even if Romney indeed was a highly successful business leader- anyone who thinks that managing a private-sector business is similar to managing Congress knows nothing about either.
Re: Romney/Ryan '12 Thread
Can anyone point to something tangible that supports Mitt Romney's claim that he is better suited to reduce the deficit and improve the economy? Something other than him just saying it.

George W was no moderate. Go back and look at his 2000 platform. Not a moderate. Gore was the moderate (aside from Global Warming).

This is a pretty ignorant statement. Go back and look at what's made Romney, Romney. He'd be perfect as President. He's an uber manager.

Thanks for proving my point.

If Mitts business career is any indication, he will drive up the deficit and extract money from lower/middle class people to benefit the wealthy. That's basically exactly what he's done for the past 30 years.

I'm well aware of his career history and little of it leads me to believe that it translates to leading the macro economy back to sustained growth. Which actions or highlights of his career do you think directly translate to what he can do as the chief executive to improve the economy? Specifics please.
