Romney/Ryan Lose 2012 Election Thread

[skinsmarydu]

It's amazing to me.

Your entire post is amazing. And beautiful. I swear, I'd put it on a sandwich board sign and walk around with it if I could.

I didn't mind what Obama said at all. .....

Pretty much sums it up for me. Thanks.

[LadySkinsFan]

I didn't mind what Obama said at all. In fact I was already voting for revenge before Obama even said it. I'm voting to spit in the face of a hypocritical, jacka**, filibuster-happy congress that has done nothing but throw the American people under the bus in an attempt to regain power. These hypocrites (including Paul Ryan) wrote a blank check to Bush for 8 years but conveniently got "conservative" when they lost. I'm voting for revenge because of Republicans suddenly trying to pass voter ID laws and kill early voting to obviously suppress the vote. I'm voting for revenge of the GOP trying to buy an election with the Citizens United crap. I don't want to see their actions of the last 3+ years rewarded with the presidency because it will do nothing but encourage these fools to keep trying these tactics in the future. Mitt Romney talks about voting for love of country? Well I see no love of country from the GOP. I see nothing but contempt and I've grown sick of the birther talks they've fed into, the ignorance they spout, and the blatant obstructionism.

I don't like Mitt Romney and I don't trust him. He strikes me as a guy who feels he's entitled and wants to be president not to help people or this country, but to have a legacy. And he has shown time and time again that he will abandon all principles and integrity to get what he wants. He's been shape-shifting himself for the last 6-7 years for this moment. I believe the man stands for nothing but his own ambition and I would take much pleasure in seeing him fail. His economic policies are the same old crap we've seen the last 30 years. Reagan cut taxes, had no revenue to pay for it and put it on the govt credit card. Bush? More tax cuts, no revenue to pay for it, put it on the govt credit card. Romney wants to continue down the same path on steroids. Ask him or Paul Ryan to do the math to make their plans work? You hear crickets.More of the same BS of the last 30 years and people still want more. It's amazing to me.

I'm going to quote AJ's entire post because it deserves to be on every page of this thread. AJ, you make sense, and explain everything that is wrong with the current GOP.

How do people feel about the ad that Romney put out today about Obama suggesting he wants people to vote for revenge

I read it as one more confirmation that Romney is a man bereft of any ideas, of any positive contributions to make. He has built much of his campaign - 'you didn't build that', auto industry going to China, tax cuts balanced by unspecified deduction closings, etc - on deception and sometimes falsehood. This final nonsense is the closing argument from a man who wants us to vote for him because he has the ability to work with the other side.

Revenge, peace of mind, self respect, a desire to not be a serf, total lack of trust, and everything AJ said..... take your pick. That is why i won't vote for a GOP candidate.

I just can't willingly be as stupid as they believe I and the rest of us are.

This country needs a management guru like Romney right now. Who cares about what ideas he has. The man is one of the best managers in the world. We need to get the economy back on track and stop worrying about policy that does not effect the present. The present is what is needed to be taken care of right now, not some ideological future.

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.

(Raises hand).

Without campaign finance reform, neither are that different. We can have Obama and his ideology after the financial present is taken care of. I'm ready to give Romney a chance at restructuring the executive branch and every agency within it.
We need a moderate right now. Last one we had worked out pretty good.


ETA: I know most will scoff at this but after researching Romney's career and then hearing "this man will not fail' from his wife (I know I know) but there's some truth to it. I really am pretty high on Romney right now and his ability to do what we need at this present time.

I don't see Obama promising to give the rich a 20% tax cut, without bothering to pay for it, and while also eliminating two other taxes (the estate tax and the AMT), one of which only affects the rich, and the other of which mostly does. I don't see Obama saying that what we really need is to exempt corporations from more laws and rules.

Yeah, there are differences. The difference between not doing much, and making things worse.

[Mad Mike]

I'm dreading waking up Wednesday and seeing an Obama victory. IMO, we would officially be the dumbest nation on the face of the earth to give this president another 4 years.

No. Dumb would be voting for a lying, sack of ####, used car salesman like Romney.

From Mitt's website:

Tax policy shapes almost everything individuals and enterprises do as they participate in the economy. With bad design, tax policy can discourage economic activity. With good design, it can encourage it. Yet our current tax system is an accretion of decades of patchwork decisions that came into being with no systematic thought for their implications for job creation or economic growth.

I agree 100% with that and am very tired of hot fixes designed to move one problem to a new problem to be dealt with down the road.

His businesses have always been profitable and I'm willing to take his track record over Obama's. He's got a much better track record.

Obama failed in leading and got bullied by a depleted and weak GOP.

Mitt wants to lower the rates on all Americans and eliminate capital gains taxes on those of us making less than 200K. That will drastically help the middle class.

I don't care about the upper class and as Romney said, we have programs in place for the lower class. The heart of this country is the middle class and Obama hasn't done much to help us. I'm ready for "change".

Really? He's a sack of ****? He's only the most qualified candidate since George Bush Sr.

Yeah, he's such a good manager... How did he "save" the Olympics? HE WENT TO THE GOVERNMENT FOR FUNDING. Who is he going to go to to now?

[skinsfan_1215]

Mitt's business record is extremely exaggerated. His company is the epitome of what is wrong with America. Hostile takeovers, leveraged buyouts, loading companies with debt and extracting millions from them.... His business career would most accurately be labeled as parasitic.

This is hilarious and sad. Who cares what ideas a candidate for POTUS has is not a stunning admission that you aren't voting for Romney and that you are voting against Obama. Frankly, a lot of Republicans invent reasons to vote against Obama when they should just say they are Republicans and would never vote for democrats in the first place.
