I don't buy that. Obama has drones over Pakistan constantly. I think people stating he waffled on assassinating Bin Laden is BS. he is patronizing the peace love human rights folks. His administration has a definite kill list bin laden was on it. You do not get to where he is with his limited political background with out cutting a few throats.

While I think the correlation to Nazi propaganda is a stretch. There is a definite propaganda machine in all elections. Some more sinister than others. The fact that we now have to look for our news in foreign outlets is disturbing.

Media outlets twist current events to suit their ideology and we have little or no middle ground. I truly feel like I vote based on the individual and not along party lines. In general people have no clue and the bs that is fed to them via media outlets is gospel.

I wonder just how much money is wasted each and every day (let alone every election) spewing poltical garbage by PAID spokes persons?

Look for that "little" disclaimer on all the campaign ads that states "paid actor"!!!
The only real people are either desperate for $$ or work for the party in question.

If the politicians could only stick to the issues, and not waste my time with idiotic, moroninc, retarded rhetoric repeated each and every hour on each and every day.

So according to this video, Romney is an out-of-touch millionaire, who according to Obama, believes in "social Darwinism", and Romney doesn't care about those less fortunate...and we all know that Romney likes it when the wives of former employees die of cancer, right?

Spence, Zimmy, PaulS...how does this liberal narrative fit with the facts? Romney has given millions and millions of dollars to his church. That church uses a lot of that money to support Mormon missions, and those missions do an awful lot of good for people in crummy situations.

Romney served a 2 year Mormon mission. How many of us can say we put our lives on hold for 2 full years to help others? When did Obama do that, I must have missed that announcement? And Biden gives $300 a year to charity, but no one claims Biden doesn't care about the poor.

Got to love that liberal honesty. Bend over backwards to avoid talking about Obama's dismal record, and instead make the sheep out there afraid of Romney the selfish plutocrat.

What does it say about Obama, that he has to avoid talking about his record, and make up lies about his opponent?

And Obama floats above it all, he's not accountable for any of this character assassination.

If you want to hold Romney to task for outsourcing some jobs, fine. But do we have to have commercials saying that Romney doesn't care about cancer victims, when his wife is a cancer survivor for God's sakes?

Spence, Zimmy? What's your response?

You people have no shame, and your hypocrisy knows no bounds. If Obama wins, you deserve exactly what you're going to get.

If Romney doesn't care much about the poor, why does he donate so much money, and (more importantly) so much time to help the less fortunate? When did Obama give up 2 years of life for an unpaid service mission?

Answer...Romney cares deeply about the poor. But despite his empty promises about not seeing red or blue states, Obama is stooping to lies to get what he wants. That's easier for Obama than defending his abysmal economic record.

"this is a new low"

For me, the new low was the ad suggesting that Romney either caused the wife of a former employee to die of cancer, or that he did not give a rat's ass about her cancer. Obama's campaign spokesman (Kristen Sutter?) said she had no knowledge of the details of this family, then audio of a conference call was leaked that showed that Ms Sutter absolutely had heard these details before.

Par for the course. And nothing that Obama apologists will touch.

If romney is diminishing the safety net for no valid reason, than yes, you'd have a point.

Spence, you work in finance, right? Are you suggesting that Medicare and Social Security don't need to be "diminished" in order to be saved? If that's what you're saying, please tell me where the $40+ trillion will come from thatthose 2 programs need, if we leave benefits where they are.

Spence, you liberals have to stop these dishinest tactics. Medicare and Social Security will not exist post-baby boomers unless they are either (1) adequately funded, or (2) diminished. And the math shows clearly that we cannot provide promised benefits to all of the Baby Boomers.

Spence, we have serious problems. We don't have any mor etime for the tired liberal tactic of attacking conservatives who are trying to save, not diminish, the safety net.

Spence, do you believe that Social Security and Medicare can continue ro exist if they are not "diminished"? If so, where does the $40 trillion come from that would be needed?

Who cares more about the safety net? Romney, who is trying to save it, or Obama, who isn't honest enough to admit the problem, and is willing to let the safety net collapse?

No, we would not all agree with your framing and its implications. Romney's policies would, supposedly, benefit the so-called "economy." Which would, presumably, benefit everybody. Some more than others? How do you create "policies" that "benefit" everybody in "significantly" and proportionally the same way? Do Obama's policies "benefit" the poor and so-called "middle class" significantly and disproportionately over the "wealthy"? Is it the Federal Governments responsibility to benefit various classes? Is that class warfare? In a society of free individuals, does not the responsibility for "benefits" rest on those individuals? If it rests on a massive central government, then those individuals are not free. They are dependent on government for "benefits." And if we ask government to distribute, equally or proportionately, our benefits, we are asking, not only a bureaucratic impossibility, but flying in the face of human nature and the politicians desire to be elected and re-elected.

I think Romney's government sponsored health care plan was a good idea. I think his balanced approach to the MA budget was a good idea. I think he showed leadership letting gay people get married as Governor.

-spence

Perhaps he has realized, or has been forced to realize, that State government and Federal government have, constitutionally, different powers. Perhaps he believes that on social issues, State and local governments are more responsive to the "will of the people" in their different localities than a distant central government, and that the Constitution does not grant power over those social issues to the central government, but to the States and the people therein. Perhaps, he does not believe that it is the Central governments responsibility to redistribute benefits.

Spence? Anything to say?

Folks, at current benefit levels, SS and Medicare will run a deficit of at least $40 trillion dollars. That means we have 3 choices.

(1) we do nothing, and let those programs collapse under the weight of the Baby Boomers. This is what politicians of both parties have chosen to do for 50 years,but it's a lot easier to get re-elected if you don't talk about cutting htings.

(2) you raise taxes ti the point that we generate an additional $40 trillion in the next 5o years. That would require North-Korea tax levels, and it's not ever going to happen.

(3) we cut benefits to levels that we can afford to pay for. That's what Romney/Ryan are proposing (I don't know if their proposal is a good proposal, but it's a proposal that, as Spence says, diminishes teh benefits. Unfortunately, that's exactly what is required.

Obama (and most liberals) choose to attack Ryan and Romney for daring to proipose cutting these benefits. Spence, predictably, jumped right on this bandwagon, saying Romney doesn't care about the needy because he wants to diminish these programs.

If liberals want to attack those who are merely stating th emathematical facts, we need to start asking these azzholes exactlly what I asked Spence...if you don't want to cut these programs, where is the $40 trillion going to come from.

If any politician (from any party) can come up with a way to increase taxrevenue by $40 trillion without harming the country, I will support him.

Spence, either tell us your plan, or admit that you're just regurgitating Obama talking points like a well-trained parrot.

we have serious problems. I'm not saying Romney/Ryan have the best possible solutions. But their solution is better than doing nothiingt, which is whatr Obama has done thus far to save those programs.

I don't have an issue with the programs as long as they're monitored for abuse, althought the true measure of any good entitlement program is how many people we can pile on to it before we have to go shakedown the taxpayers for more money to expand it. But the characterization that these are "ponzi schemes"...pffft... or that this has somehow created a massive Federal liability....pfffft..... or unnecessary and abused government entitlements....pffffft... are just patently false and probably the result of closed minded thinking and or the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy:)
