Faint Praise Alert

I haven't stop laughing since I read this. If Ms Palin was a better Candidate than Romney,  all I can say is God help us. Maybe John McCain is suffering from moderate Alzheimer's in his old age.  kentay
Republican Campaign Mantra:
We turned over a real mess to President Obama, he hasn't cleaned it up fast enough, so give us another chance to  create a depression.

Let's finish that lesson shall we:

If consumers can't afford to consume then there is no reason for producers to produce anything, and if there is no reason to produce anything then there are no revenues for business, and if there are no revenues for business then there is no profit.

Economics 101, Lesson#2:
Businesses need customers to survive.  Exception: When the government subsidizes your business.

WHAT content? I and millions of others haven't heard any from Romney yet.  :dunno:


YOU and others only hear what you want to hear or what you are told to hear.  I have heard Obama.  It is the same as 4 years ago.
Interesting because I hear Obama running on his record. I haven't heard him mention hope or change even once, so you can't make a legit claim that he's saying the same things as he did the first time he ran. I've heard him mention accomplishments.

Romney, on the other hand talks in generalities and avoids specifics at all costs. I hear Romney brush off even those in his own party who demand that he release more tax returns. Have you heard Rupert Murdoch or Bill Crystal lately?  Apparently not.

Try again.


Aww, silly girl, you must be joshin'.  Obama running on his record.  Now that is funny. :woot:  :wuv:

What I don't get, people act like he has not released anything.  This is not true.  It is the simple fact that the Democrats are wanting more information and he is refusing.  Now, when the shoe is on the other foot, and the Democrats give the excuses and Republicans complain, then they are being obstructionist.  What gives

The art of politics.  I sometimes get caught up in this -- supporting my own kind even when it goes against my grain -- but I try not to.

In another thread today I said that Romney should release his returns and take the lumps now.  If he doesn't, well, I'll think less of him but not as little as I think of Obama.

Economics 101, Lesson#2:
Businesses need customers to survive.  Exception: When the government subsidizes your business.
Lesson # 3: In Lesson 2 we also learned that growing government is what business does because they can't attract any other customer, because all other customers are too broke. Basically, when the only people making money because they contract with the government, which grows and makes more contracts, only businesses and business people pay taxes.  The Ultimate Kickback.

Lots and lots of businesses survive without government contracts. Most businesses survive without Uncle Sugar as a customer.  My employer sells nothing at all to the government and Apple computer is another to name one who also happens to be making record profits.

As far as government favoritism goes, I'm against it but I suspect you're only against it in certain circumstances.  I'm against subsidies for all businesses and industries, you probably favor it for heart-warming industries like the green industry.

Another difference, as I've noted before, is that you want to control the vast numbers of private businesses and individuals that seek favors and I want to control the 536 politicians (public employees) who grant the favors.  Controlling the behavior of the few is always easier than controlling the behavior of the many; especially when the few are your employees and freedom of the many is protected by the constitution.

Clara, Clara, Clara.  You don't need to waste your time.  I have no problem with foreign investments. No ma'am.  You obviously have an issue with Mr. Obama who constantly criticizes foreign investment while at the same time personally profitting fom it Publicly supporting it thru actions and tax payer funds.  I suggest you send those little tidbits to both Mr Obama and his campaign.  You are in disagreement with him.

Typical Obama supporter tactic.  I did not say you had economic issues with obama.  I said that you have foreign investment issues with him.  Or conversely you fully support the investments that Romney has made OR like with Obama you have no issue with Romney doing as Obama does.


You can't have it both ways.  Make a choice Clara.

I have no foreign or domestic issues with Obama's investments. It's just that you think Obama's name is Vanguard. FAIL

I have no problems with Obama's or Romney's.  Or Wasserman-Shultz.  Or the members of te Obama jobs council. 


The question is are you consistent or partisan?
