Oh wait. That might require a perspective beyond bigoted cracks about his religious faith. Let's try this instead. Mitt Romney pays more attention to detail when he puts on his magic underpants than the President can muster for national security briefings.

Clear as mud?




mnottertail -> RE: AN IMPORTANT REMINDER (10/8/2012 1:13:18 PM)

Yeah, I have all that, there isnt much, we dont have much of anything you are talking about there.   He may or may not have been the CEO of Bain, he may or may not have sent a bunch of jobs overseas, he may or may not have bankrupted a buch of companies, he may or may not have done anything which could be actually worthwhile.  

He ain't very good at much of nothing that I can tell. 

He isn't sure about most of the real workings of the world, he can shoot first and find out facts later, he is pretty good at that.

Well alright then...
Mitt Romney was born sliding into home plate with a gold place setting in his mouth. He had access to wealth from the moment he was born and he spent his entire
life learning how to manipulate our economy to garner as much of that wealth for himself as he possibly could.
His wealth does not qualify him to become our President or to take us back to the failed policies of bush/cheney.

When the hell are you conservatives going to accept one single ounce of responsibility for the economic mess you all created by cheering on the worst president in U.S. history?

The answer is never...You can't accept responsibility when you turn a blind eye to all of it.

Let's be clear on a few things:

1) Mitt Romney was born to a poor family, his father (and family) struggled until Mitt was in his teens. His father eventually became head of AMC (American Motors Corporation) and heralded the sale of same to Chrysler at a horrendous loss as compared to the stock price just 6 months prior but in the end, did exceptionally well and was worth, on his death, millions (as in 10 or 20).

2) The share of wealth that Mitt received when he was eligible to do so, he donated to the church....his....the Mormon church, either out of guilt, faith or simply wanting to make something of himself....on his own. And by the way, when he received same, he was already wealthy....more so than that which was offered to him in his inheritance.

3) He went to good schools because his parents believed in educating their children, much like many of you do and did. He also happened to be exceptionally bright and did well in school....probably part of his upbringing in some degree I'd guess.

4) Any inheritance (which again, was 100% given away) was not involved in any silver spoon opportunity he may have had other than opportunities that befell him having been born into a family with drive and determination and.....

...anyone else could have, has, and can do the same thing.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/10/washington/10cnd-wage.html?_r=0

"“Let’s not trample on the market, but recognize that nine years is long enough,” said Representative Zach Wamp, Republican of Tennessee."

"Under pressure from Republicans in swing districts, the leadership last year allowed a vote on an increase but tied it to a repeal of the estate tax, and Democrats backed by organized labor and other interests blocked it in the Senate."

"Despite historic opposition, two mainstays of the Washington business lobby, the United States Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Business, made only a perfunctory attempt to influence the House vote, sending members letters of opposition but conceding the issue in the new House."


Yep...Republicans are assholes...Democrats are Angels.

Yep.

Raising the minimum wage doesn't help very many people at all (I want to say it's under 10% of all workers and not a whole lot more when you only look at hourly workers), and harms a great deal. It harms those with the least education and the least work skills. It makes it tougher for a business to hire a 16 year old because that position now has to provide more economic benefit than before the minimum wage was raised (or created, depending the time period you are looking at).

You may make any conclusions you want to make, but you are dead ass (but a very nice one in your profile pic, I must say) wrong. Conservatives (and this will include many Republicans) are against being forced to provide wages and benefits that are higher than Market price. Price controls don't work. They always lead to Market failures. If a position is worth a good wage and/or good benefits, then that person will be paid a good wage and/or will have good benefits. Otherwise, a competitor will do so and the first employer will lose a valuable employee. If not, you're just artificially inflating costs.

Obama touted the low overhead cost of Medicare in the debate. Romney slapped him across the face with a challenge. Romney stated that if Government can provide insurance coverage at a lower cost than the Market, then people will naturally choose the Government option. See how that works? If you want Government insurance, you can buy into it. If you don't, you can buy something else. You will be getting the same voucher as everyone else.

How is that screwing people over?

I have to disagree a bit here.

It's perfectly reasonable, even wise, to set a declaration such as this into the larger context of the author's posting history. I, for one, find it hard to square that history with a claim of neutrality. Ymmv.




defiantbadgirl -> RE: AN IMPORTANT REMINDER (10/8/2012 3:28:01 PM)

What about his extremist views on abortion? Anyone that thinks it should be illegal for a woman to terminate a pregnancy that will kill her is not right in the head. Anyone not playing with a full deck has no business having any input on something as important as nominating Supreme Court Justices.




DarkMaster88 -> RE: AN IMPORTANT REMINDER (10/8/2012 3:38:06 PM)

OK..WOW!

Unions...please show me one productive Union...teachers union? Where if you suck you have tenure and it's almost impossible to get fired. Early pensions and benefits for life at the taxpayers expense. That's why Chicago is broke...71% of the school budget goes to pension and benefits. How are the kids making out with that?

Let's take GM. 2000 pages of workrules. Imagine putting your money into a business and if one production line breaks, you can't reassign the worker, you pay them to do NOTHING! You cant lay people off, you send them to a jobs center where they get 85% of their pay to read the paper. But that's right, Obama was for jobs, so they closed any viable profitable dealership that had contributed to Republicans. And they screwed the bondholders of GM, subverting bankrupcy law to take care of the Unions. So you invest your hard-earned money in GM and Obama comes along and gives you 30 cents on the dollar, (once again like Solyndra) rewrites the law to benefit the UNion who will fill up his campaing coffers with contributions. Don't worry, they only owe us taxpayers 50 billion, I'm sure it'll get repaid soon.

Post Office...losing money hand over fist...paying employees to do nothing....how about Amtrac? Personally, I want to work hard and excel, in your union world, everyone's in the middle with no responsibility for their actions. Everyone gets paid the same, good or bad. You want no risk...no reward just mediocrity.

Let's let government run healthcare...they have such a sterling track record. They said it would cost under a trillion dollars....now the estimate is 2.1 trillion...only off a trillion right?? 63% of the American people didn't want it, passed on a reconcilliation vote in the middle of the night. 10 years of taxes collected to pay for the first 6 years....does that make sense to you??? Seriously.

By the way, raising the minimum wage doesnt work..businesses have expenses (obviously from your post you haven't run one). Raising wages is an expense, if they can't afford it, they don't hire, or lay people off. the money doesn't magically appear. Only Ben Bernanke can print more.

Medicare...its a choice of vouchers or the current program...you're misstating the program to make your absurd emotional arguments.

Abortions....how about BE RESPONSIBLE. Abortion is settled law and wont change, no matter who wins. Justice Ginsburg....you mean the justice who said that Mothers Day and Fathers Day are discriminatory, and that the age of consent should be 12??? Awesome. Planned Parenthood...who gets my tax dollars to fund abortions, was founded by Margaret Sanger, a racist. The main focus of PP was to weed out the underclasses of society so they couldnt reproduce. Nice! It's also nice that you libs have such compassion for pedophiles and murderers and are against the death penalty, but can pull a child's head out of the womb and suck it's brain out at 8 1/2 months. Or throw a live child from a botched abortion in a linen closet to suffer and die. Priceless. You're the compassionate ones.

You're worried about women's rights? Why is Obama giving billions to the Muslim Brotherhood? Read up on them. They're not exactly on the cutting edge of women's rights, unless you think being a piece of property that doesn't vote, get educated, drive a car, or show your face is cool. They're also very tolerant of the Gays. And if your a woman who gets raped? You're the victim of an honor killing because you embarassed your family. Obama has set them up to rule the middle east. We're worried about a video, while the MB is killing Coptic Christians in Egypt. What about Middle Eastern women? Haven't heard a peep from you Libs. Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's assistant has an entire family connected to the Muslim Brotherhood. That's right, Hillary is a feminist Icon that let her husband cheat on her for years.

I want the impersonal FREE MARKET to decide whether I win or lose based on my hard work...not Emperor Obama and his crew of academics (only 8% of his administration have ANY BUSINESS EXPERIENCE...the lowest percentage in history). Judging by his experience with green energy, he ain't too good at picking winners and losers.

Do some homework and come here with facts, not emotional resopnses. Educate yourself. Was Bush a great president? Hell no. But Obama is a Marxist traitor to the people of this country.

Hey, thanks for the republican deception.

MItt was born in 1947 and his father became president of American Motors in 1954. Yes, his family came here in the early part of the twentieth century and I'm sure some of his ancestors actually did struggle long before he was born. George Romney was groomed by George Mason for six years to get him ready for that job. You can be sure he wasn't having any problems paying the electric bill or for the finest private schools.

No, Mitt Romney did not struggle but instead lived a life of luxury of which most can only dream. Sure, anybody with life's advantages built in could do the same.

Again, thanks for the republican spin...just the way Rupert Murdoch's evil empire drew it up.

Reagan/Bush/Bush (and now Romney) all Republicans had a stance against regards abortion.

I forgot one...Carter (in case anyone stopped counting after the above sentence...a Democrat)...so we've covered the entire spectrum.

Are abortions illegal yet?

(Uhhhhh....that'd be a negatory...10-4).

Actually, sorry to correct you but...they got 100% of their pay....for 36 months, to read the paper.

(Of course, that assumes quite a bit actually).

You probably missed the part where I said "....his father (and family) struggled until Mitt was in his teens."

CEO pay in the 50's wasn't quite what it is today and because (Dad) became head of an also struggling firm...literally an "also ran", he didn't make his millions until he sold his stock in the firm to Chrysler, which was the bulk of his remuneration. He believed he could turn it around. He was wrong.

Indeed, it wasn't until the mid 60's when AMC came out with the Rambler (an unusual move to say the least, but a bold one in as much as everyone then was buying big bulky tail finned Gigantasaurs....but the Rambler was a low cost, high mileage (for its time) vehicle and had it failed....so then would have AMC. It succeeded beyond anyone's wildest dreams and for several years AMC was the up and comer to watch out for.

It took another 12 or so years for AMC to truly fail thanks to the failed move to the AMC Pacer, which fell on the market like a dead skunk.

Shortly thereafter (in the early 80's) Chrysler purchased AMC solely for the Jeep moniker and but for that vehicle, all other AMC cars disappeared within weeks of the purchase.
