Four More Years$
Will this honest ad with zero vulgarity work?
Or do you prefer vulgarity and baseless accusations?
If you want more of the same in the USA as we have seen in the last four years, then vote for Obama. If you think we are going the right direction then vote for Obama.
Otherwise don’t be a fool, he will only do with his next four years exactly what he did with his first four years. If you are happy then vote for Obama.
Or you can Vote for a Real Change and stop hoping that Obama will change in the next four years. Give up hoping that doing the same things as he done for the last four years will end up differently than it did the first time.

Wrong. As Obama told Putin, he will have more freedom after this next election. I’m sure his commie friends can’t wait. Have you seen the 2016 movie? It is a real eye-opener.
I’m going all out for Mitt Romney. He can get the job done. He’s a doer.
@DrummingMediocrity - Not seen it I need to
@TrainTrack - Im not politically the same as him. But he is a good man and far better at everything he ever done than Obama. And he has done far more
Personally, Romney does not fill me with ANY hope at all whatsoever. I don’t think he cares about our rights or the Constitution any more than Obama. We’re screwed. Dark days a comin.
anyone who knows ~who i am~ is a “Social Group” why obama?
@mtngirlsouth - Ok then vote for more of the same third party is the same as not voting. You have a feeling that Romney may not be better. But you damn well know Obama is a nightmare. Its your vote
@apyus - Well I do know
the president’s gansta: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2C22wBf2h5k
Not voting this election as I see both candidates as the same as the bankers are careful to pick their puppet so Obama=Romney, W. Bush=Kerry and Gore, Clinton=Dole, H, etc. Every president has ben part of Satanic cults and were Free Masons all the way from Washington-Obama and have been part of many other Satanic cults. Finally, Every election I have voted in I always have voted for the lesser of two evils and expected different results. That is the definition of insanity. We cannot expect the world’s means whether it is a tyrant or a elected official to carry out God’s Kingdom. We are to live as alien citizens of the wold and bring our Kingdom by Christ’s methods not by the world’s methods. If there is one thing this election has taught me: It is that we cannot expect a government that has been influenced by the “shining one (as it was translated from Hebrew in Gen. 3) to have God’s way in mind.” We imagine Christ’s Kingdom already here and live that way and speak it to the world. A world where those above us are actually on equal terms with us (Matt. 5:39), if someone tries to shame us then they shall be shamed ( Matt. 5:40), and if a law enforcement officer tries to take advantage of us then they run the risk of being in trouble by the world’s standard (Matt 4:41).
Great video. Have you seen this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu5UuJqA8Pg
If Romney wins the election, can you tell me one thing he will do that Obama won’t? Isn’t mass destruction inevitable? Isn’t the end of the world looming upon us Trun!! I love you!!!!!
That says it all. That says it all.
It doesn’t matter whom you vote for, the “system” is corrupt. Where else is the money coming from? Is Romney or Obama paying for the ads out their own pockets?
that’s pretty powerful.
I don’t see how anyone could say they are the same. Under one you know you get destruction under the other at minimum you will at least be getting someone not wanting to fundamentally change the nation. This is why we need Romney and a conservative congress, which should pressure him to remain true, to undue the damage the Democrates did controlling 2 branches of government dominating the courts and the media.
@trunthepaige - It’s more than “a feeling”. The guy invented the health care we know as Obamacare, he said he would have voted for the NDAA and he is also for the patriot act. Those have nothing to do with my “feelings”. It is not my fault that too many Americans are too dumb to figure all this out. The republican party is so crooked they even broke their own rules to bar Paul from speaking. If the results from that is four more years of Obama, that’s what their crookedness and greed has gotten them. Tough luck.
i’m not 100% happy. but Romney stands for everything i stand against: laws based on religious beliefs, women having fewer rights, tax breaks for the wealthy while increasing taxes for the middle class, etc. Obama at his worst beats that guy at his best any day of the year.
@flapper_femme_fatale - I so understand your vote I really do and respect your real reasons. Just not the bullshit Romney is evil and will personally ruin your life
@mtngirlsouth - And if socialists had your way of looking at things not one idea of their agenda would ever have been enacted. But small piece by piece they are winning and you are helping them
@davidian - Ok its funny
I really don’t see the difference between Romney and Obama. Name a position of Obama that Romney had not held to in the past.
The only thought about Romney is he does have experience in turning around businesses that are failing and he might be able to apply that to government. And we are already pretty sure that Obama doesn’t know how. I honestly think he is just sitting there wondering what to do.
Whether you vote for Obama or Romney, you are pretty much guaranteed 4 years of the same. Both men support Obamacare, the useless and criminally expensive wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Patriot Act, the Cybersecurity Act, and other measures to take away your freedom. Both support corporate bailouts, the Drug War, and are wrapped up in the bought-and-sold world of Washington politics. Want a change? Vote for Gary Johnson or Jill Stein.
@trunthepaige - maybe not personally. but then again, i doubt that most conservatives’ lives have been personally ruined by Obama. why should i hold Obama personally responsible for my life, but not Romney?
@TheTheologiansCafe - Which business regulation do you want me to talk about? And let talk about oil drilling and coal power? That was really easy Dan it took me 10 seconds.
@flapper_femme_fatale - Agina that not what conservatives say about Obama
of course, this assumes my life is horrible now. my life has actually improved tremendously in the past four years. the only bit of that i can credit Obama with is that i was able to stay on my mother’s insurance.
@autumn_cannibal76 - That is all basically true though you would be wise to look at Paul Ryan’s positions on those things.
@trunthepaige - I am probably all confused. I thought Romney used to support a health care law that was like Obama’s and I thought he used to be pro-choice.
I was talking about how at one time or another it appears that Romney has held every position that Obama has held.
Perhaps you don’t see it that way. But it is hard for me to take special effort to get out and vote. Plus I am not in a battle ground state. We don’t get commercials here.
I think that less government regulation allows for organizations to prosper. I am just never sure that Romney actually believes any of that stuff.
@flapper_femme_fatale - Well if not for the fact that the insurance industry planned on doing that anyway you would have a point. But you do not. Obama care is killed off tomorrow and that stays, as the insurance companies like insuring young healthy people
@TheTheologiansCafe - Thats called changing the subject when you find you were wrong without admiting you were wrong. Say Paige “you are right on that and far more” and I will let you bring up where they do agree. But that was not the question you asked is it?
@trunthepaige - Fair enough. You win. You are right. Romney is better than Obama.
Are you concerned that once Romney gets into office that he will not be fundamentally different than Obama?
@TheTheologiansCafe - I am very concerned that he will not but much different on many issues. You made a valid point you just overstated it by a bunch. Actually I do find it funny when Romney is bashed as some super conservative when in fact he rather liberal for a republican. A moderate by any standard
Maybe I don’t get political advertising, but I fail to see how mentioning the opponent’s name repeatedly garnishes votes for a canidate. The strategy of manipulating voters to oppose a particular canidate seems vastly inferior to a strategy of building support for a desirable one.
Ultimately we are forced to select the lessor of two evils rather than the better of two qualified individuals. It is a sick and demented psycholgical battle which leaves a pervasive negative attitude on the nation.
Presidential politics is so much BS. Financial bills come out of the House, have to be voted on by the Senate… Then maybe a President gets to vote on them… About the only major impact a President can have on the economy is getting the U.S. into undeclared wars – then all sorts of money gets spent… This applies to BOTH parties…
Then there are nonsense assertions like certain laws a candidate will repeal the first day in office. Where is that power listed in the constitution?
Presidential politics is so much BS.
@Aloysius_son - You should know! You would’ve vetoed all the chocolate protection bills!
I’ll be honest when I say I have absolutely no idea why anyone would vote for another four years of Obama.
@trunthepaige -
“Well if not for the fact that the insurance industry planned on doing that anyway”
any proof for that?
@trunthepaige - i can’t imagine how else we can explain the vitriol coming from the Right.
@firetyger - that’s easy: Romney is a moron.
@flapper_femme_fatale - There isn’t any. Its all about competence and policy
Now you know that is not true, Obama is not the same as 4 years ago. His hair is gray now
@flapper_femme_fatale - What is it with the left thinking that conservatives lack intelligence? Romney has achieved far more that Obama ever did. Yet you want to say all he done is just a fools luck. Beleiving that says so much more about you than him. No one riches this level of leadership without more than average intelligence.
@Amandascowen - So true
@firetyger - Because they have been propagandized into fearing a guy as “scary” as Romney. I know only an idiot thinks of Romney as scary. You may not like him but he is so mainstream as to be boring.
@Donkey_Guy_10 - That aspect is. In Obamas case he had budget power his first two years but left it to other party leaders due to his lack of experience. These last years he has not had any so we need to look at foreign affairs and regulatory agencies to see his competence or in this case his extreme incompetence
@Aloysius_son - sadly it works because more Americans will be thinking about football referees and dancing with the stars than politics. So you need to make a point in the ten seconds they are willing to think about something as unimportant as who is president. I so wish I was joking here
You’re a women right? I always wondered how come a women would even vote for him because he is a very sexist man…
@flapper_femme_fatale - I’m not voting for Romney either. Just because the two main parties have candidates that are willing to violate the Constitution doesn’t mean we’re stuck voting for them (both Romney and Obama support the NDAA). Vote for a third party. If we want to turn America around we have to stop voting for the lesser of two evils.
@trunthepaige - Romney to me is about the same as Obama. I just can’t vote for anyone who would support bypassing the Constitution. Why would we vote for anyone who is going to break their oath for being in office?
You are as bad as the democrats. Corruption is okay as long as it’s on your side of the party line. I will not be forced to vote for a person I do not like just because he is the puppet they put in place. At least the democrats don’t pretend to care about our rights. The republicans are either too stupid to notice that they are being played, or they just don’t care about our rights either. Either way, it was the republicans who refused to obey their own rules because they were so scared of Ron Paul. If they think I will stand with them now, just because Obama is so bad, they have another think coming.
I honestly believe at this point the America I loved is completely dead anyway, and a lot of people like you just don’t realize it yet. It’s a shame. But at this point all we can do is hunker down and get ready, because things are going to get a lot worse.
I want you to know that I really like you and think highly of you. I just think you are wrong about this. It makes me very sad to see so many people fooled about things. And it gives me no joy that they will be so surprised when they discover it, the way they will discover it. All I can tell you now is to get ready. Bad things are coming. Stock up on food and ammo.
We will be much worse with another 4 years. Lord, help us, please!
Was it just me or does the throbbing beat cover all that is said? Not much of an anti-Obama piece if that’s the case.
I’m an outsider and have no vote so it doesn’t matter what I say but here oes anyway.
Romney walked a blind person into a door. That makes him pyschotic in my book, which is uncurable, and I’d rather he didn’t have his finger on the button. Especially as I know little about Mormons except they’re a mite on the weird side.
That said, they both represent the same class and will do little to improve the lot of the poor.
I find it amusing that so many political ads, like yours, is not based on how much good Romney would do, but is strictly based on an emotional dislike for Obama. Even Romney’s campaign is that way. Instead of saying what he would do differently, all he can do is shout about how much he dislikes Obama. That’s a very poor and pathetic campaign or ad as you have given.
@curiousdwk - Obama has done a very bad job that is of course the thing you bring up the most. If Obama had done a good job, not only would Obama talk about it instead of spending his time and money personally bash Romney but their would be no reason to not reelect Obama. Obama does not run on his Own record for a very good reason is a bad one. so Romney needs to bring up Obama’s record
@mtngirlsouth - Corruption. Tell me were Romney or Ryan are corrupt? With Obama you have the Fast and Furious cover up and his recent Libyan lies. Where is Romney corrupt?
@Lovegrove - Of course what you said did not happen so what was your point? And yes they are both children of privilege the same class
@mtngirlsouth - And no i am not fooled but you are. You see you seem to have forgotten who out system works. You are still mentally in the premieres. That said you been had int he world of propaganda those you cant not convince you want to discourage from supporting you effective opposition. You see while you have a good mind you have willingly made yourself useless
Obama’s base is clearly made up of stupid people.
The thing about falling into a very deep chasm is that the longer you’re in the air the faster your fall becomes and the more devastating the impact when you hit bottom.
Four more years of Obama will lead to economic and social collapse. I’ve never seen a better designed plan of destruction than Obama’s.
I do not like either candidate
@firetyger - if i thought they had a chance of winning, i would. however, i consider my vote a vote against social conservatism.
@trunthepaige - from what i’ve seen, conservatives (including yourself) resort to insulting the other side more than standing up for their own. stop bashing Obama for 20 seconds and tell me ONE thing Romney has advocated doing that i should support.
@trunthepaige - achieved in what way? wealth isn’t a sign of intelligence, especially considering Romney inherited most of his wealth (and married into it). the most intelligent men in all of history usually lived poor.
Romney is a moron. he announced that half the country isn’t worth his time, he tied his dog to the roof of his car, AND he paid more in taxes than he needed to just so he could say he paid at least 14%. no amount of success in business excuses such ignorance.
@flapper_femme_fatale - You would never support Romney. Actual budget controlling proposals that you do not like. Scaling back regulations that have stopping energy production on government land. End regulations that prevent coal from be used in energy production. It a long list but you don’t like any of it. Its a very long list and you only don’t know it because you are not interested in it
@flapper_femme_fatale - Yep liberals never go personal. Morons can run and create huge successful businesses. Run states. And you are so brilliant that your still talking about the fact the 47% of all tax filers pay no taxes. As if speaking the true, knowing the truth, means your unintelligent
@flapper_femme_fatale - Intelligence equals failure in your eyes. Ok I will let you shine your ignorance if you wish. Creating businesses and running them is only something a fool can do it seems. And what the hell you would just say Romney bought his education if I talked about it. All while Obama was not so privileged. The poor boy (Obama) only went to the most expensive private schools in the damned world his entire life. Never did he go to a public school. News flash Obama was born to privilege and raised in financial privilege
IF Romney had any half-way decent proposals that were simply explained and had the methodology to show how his policies would positively affect the US – and ALL Americans, not just a select few who need the least amount of help – then he could be winning in a landslide.
Instead, what we have is a candidate who flip-flops on every single issue dependent on what his campaign believes is most politically expedient at the time and produces gaffe after gaffe every other time he opens his mouth: the 47% comment, putting on self-tanner when speaking to the Hispanics, calling out Obama over the Libyan incident using incorrect information and not retracting it when shown to be false, insulting the US’ closest allies… The sum total of this picture is a candidate who just is not presidential.
At the very least Mr. Obama shows a better empathy and introduces more policies that will benefit the majority of Americans rather than a select few who have kept hoarding wealth over the last 8-10 years under the pretense of somehow enabling other Americans access to the “club” but in reality are pushing that reality further and further away.
The closest that Mr. Romney has come to announcing any real policy or outcome of his election is the creation of 12 million jobs by 2020 (yet he phrases it as “the end of my first term” – that would be 2016, Mitt). Yet not only does he not say how this would be achieved, but is the forecast of non-partisan groups if everything remains the same. So hardly the game-changer that he claims the US needs.
@trunthepaige - It’s all fine and dandy having budget control processes – spending cuts, typically. But unless they’re accompanied by a related increase in income – i.e. tax increases rather than tax breaks – the net effect is the same if not worse. Adding unnecessary expenditures for defense and reducing taxes on the most wealthy (the ones who need it least) is not a recipe for success in any time or dimension.
The point about the 47% is that Mr. Romney is just wrong: income tax is but one tax, based on personal income. The majority of the 47% don’t pay income taxes because they don’t earn enough, but that doesn’t prevent them for paying real estate taxes, sales taxes, payroll taxes, medicare taxes, social security taxes… and to say that they lack responsibility is offensive, especially when Mitt’s Dad used welfare when he was younger. It just shows how incredibly out-of-touch Mitt Romney is with the majority of Americans. It’s compounded when in response to how he would tackle the booming student debt being accrued at the tiertary level, Mr. Romney quipped, “Just ask your parents for the money like I did” (Mr. Romney “paid” his way through college by cashing out the stock options his Dad provided him with growing up).
Mr. Obama’s rise to the top is one of overcoming adversity: a single-parent family, earning scholarships to get through Harvard at a time when higher education wasn’t anywhere near as expensive as it was today.
While as Governor, Mr. Romney oversaw the creation of a progenitor of the ACA and successfully helped insure every single child in MA. Unfortunately, he also was governor at a time when MA was 47 out of 50 in job creation. Hardly the stellar record of a job creator.
The fact is that while Mr. Obama’s record can be shown negatively, Mr. Romney’s record is hardly positive either. The GOP field is one of the weakest on record, and I believe that’s because the leading lights of the GOP – the Chris Christies, the Jeb Bushes, the Mike Huckabees, the Mark Rubios – would rather selfishly run in an open year such as 2016 then run and lose to a relatively strong incumbent as Mr. Obama. If Mr. Obama was as weak as the GOP would like us to believe, and that this is a Carter/Reagan election cycle all over again, they would have been queuing up again. Instead, they scattered under a myriad of excuses and allowed the weakest GOP field in years to fight it out.
@cmdr_keen - Oh please you are spointng bullshit. 47% do not pay income tax. That is a fact and that is what Romney said. The context was that 47% do not benefit directly for his tax proposals. they do not vote based on a tax they do not pay.
I amsorry something so simple as that is over you ability to understand
@trunthepaige - I already told you he said he would support the NDAA and supported the Patriot Act. (I said the republican party is corrupt, which he has not called out because it worked in his favor. There’s some corruption for you.) And, as stated previously, he is the one who invented Obamacare. He’s headed the same way Obama was, albeit a slower pace. Neither one cares about our rights. That is too huge to overlook just because he is not Obama. Your party has betrayed you. Why you still stand with them is beyond me. I refuse to be bullied into voting for a candidate just to get rid of Obama. Romney is just Obama lite anyway, that’s why the puppeteers like him. They know whoever wins they will still call all the shots.
Besides, the longer the crash takes the worse it will be, so in that sense, Obama is better. He will bring it down faster.
@mtngirlsouth - Sorry its all legal, you can not put the word corrupt on something that is legal and done in the open. Socialized medicine has never been popular in the USA. Its a losing issue yet socialists have finally made a version of it the law of the land. they did not do that by voting only for pure socialists.
You have a choice, learn from them or lose to them. And that is your only choice
@mtngirlsouth - What a great theory we need our nation to fall apart in order to save it. Using that theory you could very well see one or more of your children die in the mess.
@cmdr_keen - I know you are going to have a hard time with this but no one reads your long winded comments.That is the reason that no winning politician spends time on long winded efforts to present policy to people like you. If your interested you can look it up. That is about .05% of the population who will do that. And they are not the sort whose minds can be changed by it. So they matter not to politicians because their votes are insignificant and balanced out
@trunthepaige - I was talking about at the RNC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzuSDqam5T4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKaXqoC4DjE
They’re crooked. You can align with a party that does that. Not me.
All you will get from me is a vote for Gary Johnson or nothing at all. I refuse to vote just to vote against Obama. I am NOT nor will I ever be, FOR Romney. He does not care about our rights. He does not care about our rights. He does not care about our rights. He does not care about our rights. He. Does. Not. Care. About. Our. Rights.
I will never vote for anyone who will trample our Constitution. NEVER! IF that does not matter enough to you, by all me3ans, vote for him. When they come and haul YOU away because you have no rights, remember, YOU voted for it.
It’s happening already. Romney does not care.
http://beforeitsnews.com/obama-birthplace-controversy/2012/09/warning-from-texas-congresswoman-kay-granger-2445742.html
@mtngirlsouth - Then you lose. your actions are worthless. Childish really, you and I lost in the primaries. Now you are running home and I’m doing the best that can be done. Remember if you are right about our society falling apart and Obama speeding it up. You will need to take responsible for it. I voted for nether one will not a sound excuse
@trunthepaige - I will not vote against the Constitution. I don’t really care what you think about that. To me, it does not look like you are doing “all you can do”. What you ARE doing, is caving into the powers that be which have told you who you may or may not vote for based on THEIR choices and not yours. They proved that at the RNC. Lay down and let them win, then blame people like me. Real patriotism there. You still don’t get it. Romney will not make anything better. He just wears the red shirt instead of the blue one. And you are appeased. Good for you.
@mtngirlsouth - Yes I am and do not compare what you are doing (nothing). copping out running away, no ones perfect to so I don’t vote for a real candidate to what I do. Me I went to the to caucus, served as a delegate and voted for the best I can get. What have you done?
@trunthepaige - I will not vote for the red puppet. If that makes you feel better, go ahead. If it further makes you feel better to say I do nothing, say that. You will not change my mind or bully me into voting for someone just because he is not Obama. They BOTH suck. You will not convince me that Romney will make a hill of beans of difference. They are the same. This country is dead and Romney will not change it. The very fact that you think you must settle for him is proof enough that it is dead. Dead and gone.
I’m done with this conversation.
@mtngirlsouth - I cant force you and do not want to bully you. but you are not part of the solution here at all. Yours is a position of defeat and it helps to cause the defeat
@trunthepaige - …and this is why politics is in the dire straits it is today. No one wants proper policy analysis or thorough discussion of the issues at hand; only sound bites that can’t encapsulate everything that’s needed to be discussed. If no one reads my comments, it’s no skin of my nose. Hence why when presented with policy platforms rather than individuals, voting patterns would change: isidewith.com is the perfect example of this, with Gary Johnson and Barack Obama leading the way.
@trunthepaige -
Even if the comment was technically accurate, it’s not a true representation of those people. There are significant portions of those 47% who do support Mr. Romney through other issues, and the statement doesn’t factor in the reasons why they can’t pay income tax.For example, the army veterans serving in a combat zone. Or the retiree on social security. Or the single parent earning less than $20,000/year. Increasing the tax burden on those won’t help the US, it’ll cripple her.Mitt Romney’s comment also disparaged that 47% by asserting they were not, or will not, take “personal responsibility and care for their lives.” I can’t think of a worse assertion made by any political candidate from anywhere on the political spectrum.
@cmdr_keen - I agree
@cmdr_keen - Its is perfectly accurate. It helps if you paid attention to Romney’s context in that statement. Efforts to lower income taxes can not effect 47% of tax filers who pay no income taxes now. Romney is politically less poplar with them.
@trunthepaige - I went back and re-watched the video prior to posting my comment-in-reply. I’ve acknowledged that it’s technically accurate, but you’ve yet to respond to the more pertinent issue which is the castigated of sweeping swathes of society who due to their circumstances can’t/won’t pay income taxes: the combat veteran, the retiree, the disabled, those earning under $20,000. Rather than giving up on them and sidelining them as not important enough, or not personally responsible enough to live their lives, Mr. Romney should be touting the policies he wants to enact that will help them reach the threshold that they will start paying income tax. Instead, it seems to me (and a majority of other people) that all Mr. Romney is concerned with his lining the pockets of people like him with more money in the misplaced hope that it’ll stimulate the economy.
@cmdr_keen - But he did not do that. His comments was to supporters. He was explaining that a lower income tax policy was not attractive to 47% of the population. He did not say he was not going to treat them well. He just knows they are not his natural voters. The more you get from the government and the less you have taken from you by it. The more likely it is that you will support bigger government and higher taxes. Taxes that you do not pay
@trunthepaige - and wealth equals success, according to you. sorry, but i was raised differently. where i come from, success means contentment and personal growth. was Gandhi a failure? MLK? Jesus? none of them were ever wealthy. by your definition, they were failures. but i hold them, and others like them, in higher esteem than any businessman who ever lived.
“News flash Obama was born to privilege and raised in financial privilege”
no more than i was. like him, i come from a middle class family. i live very comfortably with the help of my family (free housing, help with student loans and auto repairs, etc). i never said there’s anything wrong with being privileged. but there IS a problem when that privilege blinds you to the suffering of others and turns you into an apathetic robot.
“And you are so brilliant that your still talking about the fact the 47% of all tax filers pay no taxes.”
unlike Romney, and apparently you, i don’t think those people are any less worthy of the representation and consideration of the federal government. last i checked, all citizens are equal. or would you have us go back to the time when only land-owning males were citizens?
“It a long list but you don’t like any of it. ”
probably. i support alternative energy sources like solar and wind, i support regulations until businesses prove they are capable of being transparent and regulating themselves (which is never), and i don’t support any balanced budget that does not include increased revenues. any idiot with credit card debt can tell you that it’s usually not enough to cut costs. you have to go out and get a second (or in my case, third) job.
@flapper_femme_fatale - Please your efforts are wasted. you stated the the most intelligent are the least successful. As if a fool would be so good a building companies. Your envy shows its not news to me that you are heavy into class envy
@flapper_femme_fatale - You can stop lying about what Romney said. Unlike you I know what he said and its context.
@trunthepaige - i’m not envious of anyone who is incapable of empathy. and since money isn’t what would fix all of my problems, i’m also not envious of anyone with more money than i.
“you stated the the most intelligent are the least successful. ”
by your definition of success (wealth), absolutely. by mine? not at all. to me, the successful person is one who leads a fulfilling and positive existence. that has nothing to do with the balance of your checkbook. the people i respect the most are not business owners or wealthy individuals.
“As if a fool would be so good a building companies. ”
name one company Romney built from scratch using his own funds.
“Unlike you I know what he said and its context. “
i saw the video as well. i don’t need to lie about anything— the man speaks for himself.
@flapper_femme_fatale - Wow your baseless assumptions are just amazing. As is your bigotry
@trunthepaige - i’m bigoted.. why? because i don’t think that anyone who actually cares about other human beings would write off almost half the country as beyond his concern? because money isn’t the most important thing in my life?
@flapper_femme_fatale - The problem is, that is the kind of mentality that is going to ruin this country. Democrats were crying “Anyone but Bush!” And now Republicans are crying “Anyone but Obama!” Until we free ourselves from the two party mold and start voting for someone who -actually- represents us, we will keep getting stuck with fools like Obama and Romney.
in truth, i don’t think there will be any great changes in the way obama operates in the next four years. then again, i feel the same way about the republicans in congress. romney is incapable of connecting with most Americans…he’s just too out of touch with reality and his presence on this national platform is really a joke. you’ll be seeing “obama wins with a landslide” shortly, the bush tax cuts for the wealthy go bye-bye, and the look of defeat on boehner’s sour puss. (or is it boner?)
