Well said.

I assume you mean RISE in national debt per capita? Nice Post FSM.

As a Native Texan --fifth generation --I agree with you completely. Bush/Perry was an utter disaster for Texas. Education might have been the first and most obvious casualty. The GOP waged war on public education and won. It was a FASCIST scam. As high school graduations dropped the crime rate increased. Bush was still stinking up the Gov's mansion when Dallas was called a 'murder capital'. The GOP did not care, in fact, they celebrated! The corporate-owned (euphemistically called 'privatized') prisons made out like BANDITS! To sum up: the GOP is NOT a political party; it's a fascist crime syndicate.

He can depend on the Conservative pundits/politicians to spin his lies. They are united in their lies/propaganda. Clouding the issues is part of their strategy. Mitt Romney knows that he can get away with being dishonest with his supporters. Their only goal is to defeat President Obama.

Absolutely.

Mintruth would be very pleased. ^'d

"Corporations are people, my friend!" --Mitt Romney, retard

You're right and the symptoms you describe are those of a psychopath.

I always liked that "car in the ditch" metaphor that some were using about a year ago. Very apt.

We'll keep the keys, thank you much!

No, they raked-in the people's money and squirreled it away into their Cayman Island bank accounts.

'He knows'! He knows it's a lie! He knows there is no 'real' accountability when he lies! He is judged in 'the court of public opinion', then we move along as though a lie is not wrong.

How do we move along? We are moved along by our media. One news cycle at a time. Something new to judge in 'the court of public opinion'. No accountability. No shame. No justice.

Honesty is not a requirement, in 'the court of public opinion'. The truth and nothing but the truth has been replaced, with divisive campaigning. Every truth is fair game in American elections. Opinion and facts which lead to truth are treated as equal.

What a shame. As long as people are allowed to lie, nothing will ever be the same. We are turning into a country of shame. Honesty should be a requirement, not just an option.

Romney would be wise to stop using Bush in his conversation. Bush has history. Facts matter. The truth matters more. Romney is being dishonest and 'He knows' it.

Yeah, and the GOP still wants too. Too dumb to learn they are.

Rewriting history based on lies. Does he think we are all stupid? Does he think we haven't been paying attention?

Well that's certainly one way to look at it. While Obama's policy on immigration has been oppressive to say the least, the economy is showing signs of improvement. The lesser of two poisons will still kill you. I understand your pessimism but I look to the future and remain optimistic for the sake of my children. The fact that the government is finding their way back into the black, leads me to hope that our economy will rise out of the red.

Good comment. Never looked at it from quite that angle. Bush saved us from the economic disaster HE caused. So funny.

GOP logic!! We may have heard it first in Viet Nam. They had to destroy the village in order to save it!

that describes everyone who survived the Bush administration.

The stimulus invested a bunch of money into alternative energy companies. People seeking to build wind farms or set up solar panels, stuff like that.

It was a small part of the program and whether or not it was successful is a matter of some controversy.

Of course they have. I personally know people in the alternative power industry and they were/ hiring when no one else was. Perhaps what you intended to say is that the jobs didn't materialize immediately on the scale you believed they would. One thing to keep in mind is that alternative energy is an infant industry. Like any other technology, it will develop over time. For example, the (world) auto industry didn't start at the top. It took decades of improvements and advances in technology to get them to where they are now. The same will happen with alternative energy. I truly hope this is the case because it's the only option for real growth and improvement for the middle class that this country has.

And that's from '06, it doesn't even reflect how bad things *actually* got.

Mitt is a political chameleon. He will color himself any shade necessary to rally the intellectually challenged that make up what is left of the GOP. Also, many people often forget that the president can promise the world, but congress can, and often does limit his options.

I've noticed that it usually takes at least two years to gather all the data and another two to run all the equations and generate the charts. Of course, the GOP benefits from this. The GOP crooks will have cut n' run in the meantime.

What moment?

That was a coup d'état? Sorry, I really don't get your point. Could you perhaps be more explicit?

What better way is there to define a criminal enterprise subverting the will and laws of the American people?

I still don't get your point. Who are you accusing of a coup d'état, what moment, when? I'm not trying to disagree with you, I just want to understand what you meant.

During the panic of '08, the overwhelming majority of Americans rejected Bush's bailout plan. It was rejected in the House the first time, where the the Senate (with the blessings of both Presidential candidates McCain and Obama) passed their own bailout bill. It went back to the House, where Paulson pleaded with Speaker Pelosi to pass this POS (and where certain members were threatened with all kinds of horrendous scenarios as shown above). The House passed TARP and Bush rubber stamped it.

They got bailed out. We got sold out.

Thanks. Voted your posts up. :)

Sorry to post in vague terms, but the only depression that sonofabitch Bush prevented was for Wall Street. The rest of us are still paying for their party.

So when I read this Romney bullshit, I just get a little too pissed off to post clearly. My bad.

No problem, don't worry - you were kind enough to respond to my queries and I appreciate that. :)

The planet of born with priviledge and too stupid to know he did not make it himself. Daddy put him through Harvard for 2 degrees. No student loans. No worries.
He is nothing but a puppet for the very rich and he will do their bidding whether it brings thid country down or not.

And that's the truth.

We totally agree on something!!! *champagne*

He doesn't have to convince the smartest of us...just the non-thinking majority.

And thats 90 percent of the Republican party voters.
