Lest We Forget--Republican Economic Track Record
« on: July 13, 2012, 06:18:28 pm »
Obama is just one man; behind that man is a multi-administration Party.

Bush is just one man; behind that man is a multi-administration Party.

Both Parties have platforms, and those platforms have planks, and those platforms hold true regardless who is in office. 

Obama is who the Democrats selected to go up against who the Republicans have chosen, and it's the Party that makes the choice of candidate held up to a platform standard.

Obama is not running against Bush but against the people who thought Bush was a good idea for not just one but TWO terms.

It's a question of a track record of a Party, and there's one Party whose track record of good judgment is spottier than the other.

Right now, Romney's record isn't standing up to much scrutiny and what's actively withheld from scrutiny is his tax returns. All in all, Romney has a problem with scrutiny. Now then--as Romney runs against Obama, which one's the bigger pig in the poke?

No contest.

And what exactly is the track record of four years of dem control of the legislative branch?  Remember Pelosi/Reid controlled congress for four years, two with huge majorities.  Then Sen Obama was part of that and controlled the executive branch. 


Let's scrutinize that since the major accusations against Romney have proven false.  Let's scrutinize two years of a party chasing healthcare instead of the economy.  With respect, be careful of what you wish for.

Nice try.  At least you're starting to figure out that campaigning against George Bush is a loser strategy for 2012.

Now, to address your direct point, O's hurdle is to convince the American public that raising taxes is preferable to lowering taxes, that increasing spending by a gigantic amount is preferable to raising spending by merely a large amount, and that government directions to problems are preferable to private choice.  Good luck!!!

...except they haven't been proven false, although you'd dearly like to believe that fiction.  Documents Romney signed himself don't lie.

Most major media outlets have debunked the accusations against Romney.  But by all means continue propagating those lies.  They are as humorous as the birther movement.  Both practice the axiom that if you repeat a lie enough it econes the truth.


Now the auto industry.  The American auto industry was fine.  Ford was fine. Non union companies were fine.  Non union suppliers like Delphi suffered.  As did secured lenders like teacher and police unions that invested in GM when bankruptcy law was rewritten to move the unions to the front of the line.  Additionally, the tax payer is still on the hook for billions. 


Healthcare?  What happened to the laser like focus on jobs that the president promised in the 2010 Sotu address?

That's exactly right. Its the Democrats like yourself who lie.
The Founding Fathers established the first Dept. of Homeland Security. They called it "a Well Regulated Militia."

Given the variety and number of Obama sympathizers who admit he's lying, you have to wonder about the **** Obamabots.
