it would be the funniest thing if it wasn't so sad ... it really is mind boggling how anyone could vote for this sleazebag ... the partisan divide really has the majority of the population indoctrinated ...
I find it mind-boggling how anyone in good conscious could vote for either candidate. Especially if you have expectations.
Too bad Paul was never a serious threat. But looking at the list above, I'm happy Romney came out on top (even though everyone knew he was a lock from the start). Especially since he was a 50/50 chance at being the next POTUS.
Although Herman Cain would have been one of the most entertaining POTUS of all time, rivaling even The Slickster. He has a little bit of Jackie Chiles in him.

Isn't this one of those things conservatives often complained about JFK- that he got elected on his good looks?
yeah, they complained about obama being a rock star when they ran the most unhip, cranky, old man, with a dingbat as a running mate...funny how things that you attack the other guy on suddenly become desired traits

Projections are that the Romney plan would add between 0.5% and 1% per year in gross domestic product growth over the next decade.
Growth could be even stronger if hard-to-model gains from more effective regulation and decreased policy uncertainty could be captured.
12 million new jobs over just four years would be one of the strongest periods of employment growth in recent history, and require the economy to consistently add 250,000 jobs every 30 days for 48 straight months.
The quick turnaround would be spurred by the lower tax rates and drastic spending cuts that are the hallmark of Romney's plan.

It is election season, after all, so sharing one's political views -- however outlandish they may be -- is to be expected. But how about from a 6-year-old? Isaac Anthony counts down the 10 reasons why he thinks you should not vote for Barack Obama in a YouTube video posted by the conservative website Patriot Update. His list of reasons includes the fact that, in his opinion, Obama is "taking money from people who work hard" and "keeping people on welfare and food stamps." After Anthony delivers reason No. 4, "He wants to take guns away from good guys," he shoots his mock pistol at the camera.
Since Sunday more than 160,000 people have viewed the video, and as you might expect, it's been met with more than a little controversy. Some commenters on YouTube are calling the clip "sad" and "ignorant." Over on Twitter, most people are blaming the boy's parents, saying that it's an example of indoctrination. On the other side of the fence, viewers are commending Anthony, with one YouTube commenter writing, "He's smarter than half of Americans."
Are you suggesting that the average Republican voter has the mentality of a six year old? How offensive!

Mitt Romney confirms he would end US wind power subsidies
Mitt Romney and Barack Obama draw up battle lines over US wind farm tax credits
James Murray for BusinessGreen, part of the Guardian Environment Network
guardian.co.uk, Thursday 2 August 2012
Mitt Romney looks set to declare war on America's wind energy industry, further emphasising the dividing line between the presumptive Republican presidential candidate and President Barack Obama on energy issues.
Romney's campaign confirmed this week he wants to end long-standing tax credits for wind farm projects when the incentives come up for review later this year.
The pledge means the popular production tax credits (PTCs) – which have helped drive a surge in new wind energy investment in the US, making it the second largest wind energy market in the world after China – would be allowed to expire at the end of this year if the Republicans secure the White House in November.
Shawn McCoy, a spokesman for Romney's Iowa campaign, told the Des Moines Register earlier this week that Romney would "allow the wind credit to expire, end the stimulus boondoggles, and create a level playing field on which all sources of energy can compete on their merits".
He added that wind energy would still be allowed to "thrive wherever it is economically competitive, and wherever private sector competitors with far more experience than the president believe the investment will produce results".
Romney's campaign later confirmed he planned to allow the tax credits to lapse, stressing that he favours an energy policy environment where technology-specific incentives are removed.
However, green groups, renewable energy industry insiders, and Democrats were all quick to point out that Romney's desire for a level playing field on energy policy does not extend to oil and gas, where he has pledged to retain up to $40bn of subsidies and tax breaks that President Obama wants to see phased out.
Romney also faces accusations he has flip-flopped on clean energy policy, given that as governor of Massachusetts between 2003 and 2007 he talked up the potential for renewable energy and approved state support packages for a number of clean tech firms.
The latest pledge to roll back support for the wind energy sector is likely to appeal to the GOP's base, but it will also infuriate a number of Republicans in states where the wind industry is booming.
In June, 16 Republicans in Congress wrote to the GOP leaders in the House of Representatives urging them to approve an immediate extension of the PTC scheme as a means of driving investment and job creation.
The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) is now warning that a number of projects are already slowing down and undertaking lay-offs as developers wait to find out if the PTC will be extended beyond the end of the year.
"The PTC is an example of effective, job-creating tax policy, but with expiration looming at the end of the year, 37,000 good American jobs are in peril," said AWEA chief executive Denise Bode in a statement. "That is why Congress must act now to save USA wind jobs and keep this success story moving forward."

"Now more than ever do we need Gov. Romney. I'm going to be voting for him," Eastwood told Romney supporters Friday night.
"He just made my day," Romney said. "What a guy."
Standing at Romney's side, Eastwood said he was filming "Mystic River" in Massachusetts almost a decade ago when he first saw political advertisements featuring Romney, who was running for governor at the time. "I said, God, this guy, he's too handsome to be governor, but he does look like he could be president," Eastwood joked. "As the years have gone by I began to think even more so about that."
I know, kinda like #1 but fuck it, dirty Harry wins. He is no pussy cat

agreed ...
but its guys like romney that make a vote for obama almost justifiable
yeah, they complained about obama being a rock star when they ran the most unhip, cranky, old man, with a dingbat as a running mate...funny how things that you attack the other guy on suddenly become desired traits

If he's gonna have his people cook up some numbers why not promise 30 million jobs?
to me 12 million in the first term is just a pipe dream.
then again, with a republican in office the republican controlled house might actually hold a vote on any bill to create jobs.....
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
12 million jobs :shock: ooooh, that sounds easy...
tell me more about these "drastic spending cuts" and who's taxes will be lower......
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."

'Decreased policy uncertainty'? Sounds like a euphemism if ever I've heard one.
What's he gonna do? Force the unemployed into unpaid work as fry-cooks at McDonalds, scrap the minimum wage, and bring back chain gangs?
