If Gov. Romney supporters not in the "top 1%" truly believe all the things that he says, they are setting themselves up for the biggest let down of their lives. As awful as they perceive their lives under President Obama have been, a "President Romney" administration will be devastating beyond their imagination.

And those who are in the "Sununu/Palin and co." -- get the black guy out of the White House -- camp, will also find that they have been sold out.

It remains mindboggling to me that in 2012 United States that racism, misogyny, homophobia and religious fanaticism, would be as prevalent and powerful in our political process as has been evident in this and the last round of elections.

This is not exemplary democracy in action. Or is it?

It would almost be worth it to have Romney win just to see all those who believe him get what's coming to them. Unfortunately everyone would have to suffer along with them

Stunning isn't it? Extraordinarily depressing. Is this how it all ends?

Yep. But they wouldn't be able to connect the dots. Recall Bush still ended with 22% approval rating. So 22% at least of the electorate is lost in space forever.

romney is desperate to take back his editorial of some years ago stating that the US auto industry should go bankrupt. he knows now how stupid that was, and is sweating pistons to try to make up for such a callous, moronic editorial. let him drink used motor oil.

Romney's idea from that editorial was a managed bankrupcy, which is what Obama did. The difference is that Romney said they should seek private sector loans to assit them till they were back on their feet. Which is how it usually works. That's how Bain Captical Came into being. Problem is at the time, there was no private sector money to be found. No one was lending. So Obama did what government is supposed to do in situations like that. He, the treasuary, and the dems put together a financial assistance plan. Unlike Bush and Paulson who just threw money at the banks and crossed their fingers, Obama's team had an actual plan.

Both actions were necessary at the time and without them the entire financial system would have been ripped apart. I complain, you complain, everyone complains about this because none of us ever truely believe things would come to this. That there were regulations in place to prevent this. What was not wide spread was every time the legislature removed those regulations to "promote business", glass steagall was the worst of it IMO and that was done under Clinton. It boosted the economy to record levels sure, but it also put far too much power in the hands of banks. When profits are your number one concern and product/service is a distant second, disaster is inevitable.

I find it funny that you say that Bush just threw money at the banks as if Obama hasnt been doing the same thing thanks to Bernanke printing gobs of money. Did you know that banks are sitting on $1.3 trillion? Did you know they are making interest off of the government with that $1.3 trillion that should be getting lent to people?

Historically speaking, banks never had more than ~50 billion in reserves, but now they have $1.3 trillion just sitting there because the fed just keeps on giving in order to keep interest rates down.

This is the main reason why I disapprove of how the bank bailout was handled. They gave them the money to unfreeze the system and give the money to lend out, but the banks took the cash and are still just sitting on it. They were given the money to lend out, but the deal struck never said they had to so they didn't. They used the money the bailout gave them to stabilized themselves and kept on with business as usual. They are concerned about profits, not people. The people are the responsibility of the government. You can't just give out money and hope the CEOs and their boards will do "the right thing". The Obama bailout had parts that said "if you accept these funds you have to do ____." The Bush bailout didn't have that.

These "too big to fail" companies are too dangerous. That's why I support Dodd Frank. Not all of it. I have my complaints about that too, but it is worth an approving vote for the simple reason that it forces the companies to draw up what I call a "last will and testimate" should they ever face a crisis like 2007 again. If the company starts to fail again it can be broken up into smaller pieces that can sustain themselves instead of one part taking everything else down with it.

If there was such a policy in place that could have provided a way for Richard Fuld to cut off that limb of toxic real estate assets from the rest of his business Lehman Brothers would still be around today and the financial crisis may have avoided all together.

Romney ad tells truth about Jeep production in China; Left freaks out | Twitchy

Even your vaunted Mother Jones says what Romney said was true.
Since it has to be clear to even someone like you that no one here takes you seriously why do you even bother to continue to post? It has to be for the paycheck. Paid by the post.:rolleyes:

Twitchy? Seriously?

Here's what Mother Jones had to say on the subject

From your link:
If I told you exactly what I think about you the mods would ban me immediately so I 'll try to keep it in check.


What does the bailout have to do with Romney's recent lie? You post that Romney was telling the truth about Chrysler closing operations in the U.S. when they are in fact expanding operations.

Everyone else can see you for the lying loon that you are so why can't the mods?

Chrystler is increasing jobs in china, but it's not by moving american job to china. In fact Chrysler is increasing the number of emplyees in their american plants by 100,000 people. They are adding a third shift to cover the increased demand for their cars.

Sooooo... Romney sux! I still laugh at Ryan calling Romney "the stench" when he's not around and the camera's are off. Come on. That's just funny.
