well, they're trying to buy themselves a big tax cut.

Is that what they mean when they say keep your Mitts off my money?
It was broke, so I fixed it.

People who support Mitt Romney do so because they support his pro-growth, pro-jobs agenda for the country

I love these kinds of political backhanded insults. If Mitt is pro-growth and pro-jobs, Obama must be actively against growth and jobs! Please Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Agreed.
 
Romney has yet to say anything that made me sit up & take notice. He's a professional finger pointer at best. When asked a question, he usually starts his answer with "Let me tell you what President Obama has done...".
 
And then I think, "I KNOW what Obama's done. What are YOU going to do?" And he has no answer.
 
I don't get warm fuzzy feelings from either Romney or Obama.

Elections aren't about picking who's right, it's about picking who's least wrong.

Really? I thought it was about picking anyone but the other guy.

Same idea, just different criteria for deciding who's worse. Poke tongue | ;-P
GeneralRe: Romney DonationsmemberIan Shlasko30-Jul-12 10:52 
Exactly... Pick the guy who will elephant up the country the least... Sadly, that's the best choice we have.

That is only what the mainstream canidates and their media conglomerates want you to believe. Year after year the campaigns are always centered around scaring the public about "The Other Guy".
 
They scare the populace to the point of blindly voting for "Their Guy" with out really looking at what they have planned (if they even have a plan).
 
Frankly I am sick of it. Times have changed. Social media has replaced CNN, FOX etc.
Build your own network and read. Read some more.
Go to the pulls and make a logical vote. If One of the mud slinging idiots gets elected so be it.
If someone actually deserving and intelligent gets elected look at your children and say "Your Welcome!"
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

Romney's company actually moved jobs overseas while he was still somewhat in it.

Some argue that it is the case.
 
But just saying that one is pro something does not automatically mean the other is anti that same something. They don't have to be opposites.

But that doesn't stop them from wanting people to think that's the case, and unfortunately many will...

I love the disconnect in the Left's minds.
 
"Conservatives are SO stupid."
 
"Look at all these multi-millionaires and billionaires supporting the Conservatives."
 
Ahem. Stupid people get rich and stay that way? Almost makes you want to break open a thermometer and chug some mercury. I wonder how much you have to drink until you're stupid enough to make your first million?

There have been some actual studies about that. The results were mixed.
 
Just a case of "the other side disagrees with me so they must be stupid". Moving on..

Your original statement was structured around "Left's minds" which suggested to me that there was some consensus for the claim that you then followed that with.
 
But single statements do not represent a consensus of a political group. And of the statements that I have seen that would represent broad swaths of groups that would be to the "left" they do not make the claim that you said.
