If I can I'd like to change my vote, to an anti-vote against Romney. You can't fix the economy by cutting funding to it

That's why Super Soldier is wrong. 1 party is completely wrong and evil, and is exploiting the people, the otherside is just irresponsible. Ron Paul was a racsist nutjob

Xbox the US did receive help from MANY countries, the first being Cuba, which was assholy rejected, well, its the American's loss, donations, tents, medicine, all rejected... (You Americans need to really think about that ridiculous embargo... its childish, I don't think I see any European country doing something like that).
Over 90 countries responded and sent aid, by sending money or tents. So get your facts right...
Germany sent pumps to drain New Orleans, which would have taken longer if we didn't send any pumps at all, we sent food, hospitals and more. Several thousand food units were rejected because it didn't "qualify", well again: Your loss...
So yeah Xbox we did help your country and like 96 countries did the same. I bet nearly half was rejected because of your exaggerated policies. Life is Life, save it, don't put your policies in front of your people, it kills them.

How is Ron Paul Racist exactly? only thing ive time i ever heard of him saying something i wasnt Racist It was Nationalist (Southern Nationalist that is)

and that was when he said that (and im Paraphrasing) "Texas should build a fence on the river... the Red River meaning to keep the yanks out of here."

Never heard anyone call him Racist tho.
and I agree with SW Americas got way too much of a big head to et anything REALLy done

After watching the Republican thinngy on tv the past couple of nights, I like that guy who's family immigrated from Cuba. I'd like him to be our next president!

My ONLY concern about Romney is he has too perfect of hair. That's always a sign to me. I want a prez who has tousled hair or even bald!

Still NO to OBAMA.... he bit the big one these last 4 years.

+1 Romney/Paul

Interesting that the Republican candidate for Vice-President blatantly lied during his speech.

He said that a car factory in Wisconsin closed due to Barack Obama's handling of the economy, yet as Stephen Colbert reported last night, the car factory he was referring to was actually closed during the Bush administration.

What an absolute disgrace.

For everyone's amusement: The truths, the lies and the misleading from Ryan -
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/wp/2012/08/30/the-true-the-false-and-the-misleading-grading-paul-ryans-convention-speech/

I like this one in particular:
<!-Quote-!>Quote:

Obama didn't support Bowles-Simpson's report - "[Obama] created a bipartisan debt commission. They came back with an urgent report," Ryan stated. "He thanked them, sent them on their way, and then did exactly nothing." But the bipartisan debt commission itself didn't come back with a report. There were not enough votes to agree upon recommendations, in part due to opposition from committee member, er, Paul Ryan. The statement misleads viewers by implying that Ryan supports the proposal, when he aggressively opposed it, and by using the third person to avoid noting that Ryan was on the commission and voted no.<!-/Quote-!>

i bet its not being easy being elected president, not saying that, what im saying is there is not just one person making these decisions, its gonna take a few people, presidents job is to just nod and agree, and the same people are NOT elected, but they pass from your elected president to the next. So go and vote, only thing realy you can vote for is the best spokesperson for your country, the decisions realy are not up to them. good luck voting for your puppet :) Also, China owns your debt, so boycoting them,um, not such a good idea.

Interesting, Tom, that you are using the Colbert Report as a fact checking source..... Next, lets check Jersey Shore for some keen, geopolitical insights into how the GOP (or whatever) is so much PHAIL...


Say what you want about America and our spending, but without the U.S. and Crocodile Dundee, Australia is just a bunch of boomerangs, kangaroos, and didgeridoos. Oh, I'm sure YOU think you are important and special... and we'll keep pretending you are... but, when it comes down to it, your absolute, ENTIRE existence as a "free" and "sovereign" nation relies upon the U.S., Europe, India, and whatever other allies decides that you're strategic positioning in the Pacific is important enough to defend.

In the grand design, you (Australia) are merely PART of America's (and maybe Europe's) welfare and/or defense system, and nothing more... Seriously... what, other than criticism and unique accents, does Australia export? What value do you (Australia) add to the universe other than to deride a people/place/thing, far more significant than you?

It's easy to hide within your own irrelevant country and publish your anti-"xxxxxx" (American) sentiment. I'm sure it makes you feel morally and intellectually superior. Similarly, it's as easy to say what's written here, in respect to your heritage, without any sort of insight or humility.

I like Putters thoughts.

And I have never seen such blatant stage managed sympathy grabbing false rubbish and nonsense as Romneys wife saying how he 'sat by her bedside, tenderly kissed her cheek and had a tear in his eye...' (paraphrased). God, that was sicker than X factor, Oprah and pure puke mixed together.

And then he goes on to mock Obamas statements about climate change et al, 'me, I'll worry about you and your family...'. Shows what sort of speech writers and puppet masters are behind him.

For the sake of humanity, avoid this magic underpant believing, polygamist, Jesus is coming to Missourri believing bigot.

Paul Ryan's acceptance speech was wonderful. Left-leaners understandably can't just endorse it, so they must construct some kind of criticism, and of course they'll come up with something, as nothing is beyond criticism. The best the professionals could come up with was a few things Ryan said in simple language when referring to events that were somewhat more complicated. At first they called them "lies", then backed off when confronted with facts and are now calling most of them "misleading".

Then people muddy things up further when relaying the professionals' spin. Tom Morgan claims that Ryan "said that a car factory in Wisconsin closed due to Barack Obama's handling of the economy", yet Ryan didn't say that. If you didn't see the speech yourself, read the transcript. The real-life facts are complicated (GM officially closed the plant before Obama even took office, but the plant was still in operation well after Obama took office; Obama's promise was conditional and subject to some interpretation). However, what Ryan said was literally true, and the spirit of his claim, that this was an example of Obama not delivering on his promises, is also true.

Laguna's article is full of this stuff. For example, Ryan said, when talking about Obama's failure to address debt, "He created a bipartisan debt commission. They came back with an urgent report. He thanked them, sent them on their way, and then did exactly nothing." It's all true in technicality, and it's true in the way it supports the big idea that Obama hasn't done anything to correct the spiraling debt, but has exacerbated it. Laguna's article claims that there was no report. But there was a report, here, though it wasn't approved by the supermajority needed to bring it up on the floor of the House. And Ryan was on the committee, and did oppose the final report even though he contributed a lot to it, because of irreconcilable differences in key areas. Then he came up with his own long-term budget proposal and shepherded it through the House. Is he really supposed to say all that in a speech?

Again, Ryan's speech was wonderful, and the worst criticism is to infer things he didn't say and show how your inferences aren't completely straightforward.
