I agree, everyone else is boring, or dont want to run, Or rather, trying to distance themselves from Romney. Romney is becoming hazardous waste. I wonder what will happen at the convention?

You are absolutely correct. Someone needs to change the face of the world through foreign policy once again. Four years ago we had Westerners killing Arabs with smart weapons and today we have Arabs killing Arabs indiscriminately. We still have Persians seeking nuclear weapons and Jews threatening to bomb them into the stone age. We have defaults threatened by multiple European countries and a massive Asian economy that sends us baby foods stocked with plastics. The past two administrations sure didn't prioritize all this maybe they could do a better job. Sure couldn't do worse right?

Yeah, like you're even qualified to critique a floor washer. #cluelessbroad

I would like to think that Arianna and Patch would object to this chauvinistic display.

I can tell that you are not color blind.

Tom, you hit the nail on the head.

Romney's accountant is SUPERMAN!

His accountant takes tax breaks for Romney's living full time in house in UTAH while trying to establish a permanent residence in Mass, (while Romney was trying to qualify for a run for Gov of Mass.)

I thought that only the schrodinger cat can be in two places at once and dead & alive at the same time. It looks as if the accountant was able to have Romney live full time in both UTAH and MASS.

It's not Obama who's tearing down this nation. It's close-minded trolls like Limbaugh and Beck, and the people who pay the ultimate price by letting them rot their brains. When was the last time any of them said anything positive? Or maybe the question should be, when was the first time? And don't forget the ultra-partisans in Congress who regularly threaten to shut down the government. This is government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Not for the Republican Party and its wealthy donors. If they take control, American democracy will be only a memory.

do people really say "right on " anymore

Funny that you don't recognize that it's the far right that wants to control everything. Corporations and their Faux conservative lackeys can't govern effectively, so they overturn the game board when things don't go their way. Where do you think this partisan gridlock came from? If a Democrat meets the Republican position halfway, the Republicans move the line farther right every time. It's not compromise when one side always demands capitulation by the other. So nothing good happens.

And by the way, I don't drink Kool-Aid. I like a good craft beer. Your response would be all about the pot calling the kettle black, except that your characterization of liberals is pure Limbaugh...if you can call anything from him pure...and Limbaigh's grasp of reality is tenuous, at best. Control? Who's trying to take women's rights back to the 19th Century? Who's trying to keep blacks and students from voting? I could go on, but I'm sure you'll just get more defensive.

Here's an idea. How about Rove or one of the Koch brothers for Veep? They're running the campaign already anyway.

hmmmm. Who is telling women they cant have birth control paid by the insurance companies? Who is doing the mandating in the name of religious freedom? Who is taking away everyone else's religious freedom just.

Is there a difference between the the T-Party mandates and sharia law?

And you have the nerve to accuse the Dems of trying to control thought and actions.

Government is to protect ALL the people NOT just those" Extremes" wanting to impose their "sharia law" on every one.

Extremism is NOT the best for America. Compromise and tolerance is humane. Closed minded, fact absent ignorance and Intolerance is dangerous.

Ignorance is a huge problem since ignorant people have the perception that they have all the facts, irrespective of actual facts and truth. Then, they become violent when presented with real facts.

It is time to stop the hate, communicate with love, patience and understanding. That is the only way we can survive.

Hate is destructive, it blinds people to truth and life. It takes away our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

Absolutely, agreed!!

Wall Street gives to both parties to hedge its bets. So do many other corporations, which is part of the problem of too much money in politics. The bigger problem is all the anonymous wealth now flooding the airwaves and the net with attack ads.

As to the Democrats walking out...they were facing a take-it-or-leave-it scenario in both cases you cited. They didn't shut the government down. What they did could more aptly be described as political theater to make a point in the face of extremist proposals put forward by a party that sees a one-vote majority as a mandate to do whatever they want. This is not the way to move this nation forward.

Unfortunately, the best Republicans, like Steve LaTourette, have found that the new extreme Republican Party has left them as it rushes further to the right. Ronald Reagan wouldn't pass the litmus test today. With extremists like Paul Ryan and Eric Cantor pulling the strings, everything that is part of a society that looks out for the average family is under attack. Look out...your sacred cows could be next to be gored.

...and I forgot to mention that the "Fast and Furious" gun fiasco was not something Eric Holder put together. That was an ATF program, and it replicated a program that was conducted during the Bush administration. Unfortunately, they blew it. But ever since the Republicans got a majority in the House, they've spent all their time trying to discredit anything that could be remotely pinned on the Obama administration, except when they were attacking women's rights or threatening to shut down the government. I'd like to know when they're going to do something useful.

robert here is a link to the 32 bills sitting in the senate that were passed by the house that the democrats refuse to bring to a vote

http://majorityleader.gov/JobsTracker/

nice link

If you really want to believe what Eric Cantor has to say about anything, knock yourself out. Really. If you want to look critically into what's in or behind these bills, you'll immediately recognize that they contain so many poison pills that they could meet the definition of toxic waste. They don't solve problems. When they aren't just aimed at undoing a useful regulation, they are going to create a problem. Not all proposed legislation deserves to become law, and I'm guessing that the ones I'm not familiar with meet that definition. I base that on the knowledge that the bills I AM familiar with most certainly should NOT become law. What do we see in Congress but a majority party that opposes legislation that would be beneficial to the many and pushes legislation that works against the many to benefit the few? They just aren't doing the work of the people. Consider the fact that, instead of passing the Senate's extension of the middle class portion of the Bush tax cuts, they held out for a bill that again rewards the greedy rich, and then they went home. If the cuts for the wealthy are warranted, they could pass them on their own merit. But they aren't merited, so they took the ball and left the middle class cuts in jeopardy. Talk about malpractice. Governance requires well-considered hard decisions...not blind adherence to ideological stances.

robert there is 2 budget bills on that list (which are the only 2 proposed so far)

Of course you mean there "Are" 2 budgets. One of them would have to be the Ryan Budget...the one that would eventually kill Medicare and Medicaid, gut the safety net for the poor, give more tax cuts for the wealthiest, paid for with reduced spending that would benefit most of us, and, of course, raise middle class taxes. The numerous assumptions he makes are pure pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking. Actually, with the additional tax cuts for the rich, he would INCREASE the debt over time, and his plan would take decades to even put a dent in the deficit. I take it that the Ryan Plan is one of the budget bills you refer to. You didn't specify the other, but I'm sure it's equally unworkable. So...as the kids would say, "Big wow!"

so robert where are the democratic budgets at for the last 3 years

I can give you all of them and more, James. The 2013 Budget proposal was submitted to the 112th Congress on February 13, 2012 by President Barack Obama. The 2012 Budget proposal was submitted to the 112th Congress on February 14, 2011 by President Barack Obama. The 2011 Budget proposal was submitted to the 111th Congress on February 1, 2010 by President Barack Obama. The 2010 Budget proposal was submitted to the 111th Congress in February, 2009 by President Barack Obama. The 2009 Budget proposal was submitted to the 110th Congress by George W. Bush. None of them have been balanced, thanks mostly to an economy going over the cliff, two wars and a Medicare drug benefit paid for with borrowed money, and a Congress that has forgotten that even Ronald Reagan raised taxes when it was necessary. It is not incumbent upon Congress that it create a whole different budget...just that it pass or alter the budget proposal sent by the President.

So we have heard from a democRAT. One that has been mesmerized, hypnotized and otherwise lost all sensibilities.

are you clicking your shoes together everytime you repeat "mitts not going to win"

Thanks for reminding me -- when should I return your glass slippers, James?

names >>>>>Ignorant Broad?

I would like to think that Arianna and Patch would object to this chauvinistic display

A person who is proudly displays their stupidity et al, they deserved to be called out. Simple as that.

more names >>>>proudly displays their stupidity ???

And that coming from someone using only a first name, huh?
STHU, hypocrite.

still more names >>>>> STHU, hypocrite.???? and these are your points

I. M. Wright,
STHU, hypocrite.

D.I.M.

BTW, I thought you guys were into individual responsibility... so what's your problem with the individual mandate? What...when you have to exercise individual responsibility it doesn't seem so attractive? It does to me. I don't want my health care payments and insurance to be paying extra for deadbeats who could afford insurance but choose not to buy it. I don't have a problem paying extra for people who work hard for low wages, except that the way these so-called job creators keep laying more off, there's a whole lot more of them. The whole point of insurance is to spread the risk. If you're fortunate, you pay for coverage you never use. On any given day, a perfectly healthy person could find himself fighting for life. When hospital bills pile up, it doesn't take long to wipe out the family fortune for most of us.
