class warfare anyone?


AND

Thank you Pennsylvania, Delaware, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York! And tonight I can say thank you, America. Together, we will win on November 6th!
 
Americans have always been eternal optimists. But over the last three and a half years, we have seen hopes and dreams diminished by false promises and weak leadership. Everywhere I go, Americans are tired of being tired, and many of those who are fortunate enough to have a job are working harder for less.
 
To all of the thousands of good and decent Americans I've met who want nothing more than a better chance, a fighting chance, to all of you, I have a simple message: Hold on a little longer. A better America begins tonight.
 
Tonight is the start of a new campaign to unite every American who knows in his or her heart that we can do better! The last few years have been the best that Barack Obama can do, but it's not the best we can do!
 
There was a time -- not so long ago -- when each of us could walk a little taller and stand a little straighter because we had a gift that no one else in the world shared. We were Americans. That meant something different to each of us but it meant something special to all of us. We knew it without question. And so did the world.
 
Those days are coming back. That's our destiny.
 
We believe in America. We believe in ourselves. Our greatest days are still ahead. We are, after all, Americans!
 
Join me in the next step of our great nation
 
Thanks.
 
Mitt Romney


AND


"In the America I see, character and choices matter. And education, hard work, and living within our means are valued and rewarded. And poverty will be defeated, not with a government check, but with respect and achievement that is taught by parents, learned in school, and practiced in the workplace," Romney said. "This is the America that was won for us by the nation's Founders, and earned for us by the Greatest Generation. It is the America that has produced the most innovative, most productive, and most powerful economy in the world, with one of the highest standards of living of any major nation."

That's going to happen if Mitt wins and he gets his hands on the Paul Ryan budget. For them, it's "screw the poor and middle class".

I love how Republicans call "class warfare" when they're the ones doing it.

"Mitt Romney has earned the Republican Presidential nomination through hard-work, a strong organization, and disciplined message of restoring America after nearly four years of failed job-killing policies from President Obama and his administration," Perry said in a statement, according to ABC.

Good luck with Mitt Romney at the helm. How does a flip flopper govern exactly? Rhetoric doesn't provide health care, fix the budget or solve the Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security crisis, bring the troops home, find more efficient ways of producing energy, educate our young, fix our roads and infrastructure, feed our hungry or keep us safe. But Mitt will make the 1% a whole lot richer, won't he?

Perry to Caine to Bachman to Paul to Gingrich to Santorum to Romney. Nice lineage.

The troops still aren't home so you can cross that off of everyone but Paul's list.

And you believe everything coming from the White House? Will it happen? Probably. All I can say is it's not over, not quite yet.

Sorry but I can't. Obama is the only one who will bring the troops home from Afghanistan by 2014. If re-elected, he'll do it. He's laying the groundwork now. Just can't run on it. And Ron Paul, if elected, wouldn't take office until 2013. So how does he have the monopoly on bringing them home? All out within a year of taking office? Sorry, Ron Paul isn't getting elected and it'll take everything this country has to bring them home in 2014. Why? Because at least Obama is honest. Not owned. Not a lackey. Constrained, perhaps, by circumstances and forces beyond his control but in the end, HONEST. He's working more for us than them, that I believe. As opposed to Romney who would like you to remain in fear forever. Obama has already said the "war on terrorism" is over. Nice. Its a start. Ending the perpetual war that exists everywhere, be afraid. Its your choice. So, I happen to believe that we can bring the troops home without ending the Fed, eliminating the EPA and allowing everything to be at the mercy of the markets. Government has a role in improving lives. That's why we pay taxes.

Republicans, Pro Life until you're born.

:roll:

You can believe what you want, but Obama isn't the most honest politician running for president...I believe Gitmo still existing is evidence of that alone...I believe saying that autistic kids would need to fend for themselves is evidence of that...I believe saying that raising the debt ceiling and running deficits during the Bush administration was un-patriotic is evidence of that...I believe telling the Russian president to simply give him a little more time until after his election so he will have more flexibility is evidence of that...

and quit with the whole sign off peace. That is ridiculous.
Democrats...against death sentences except when in the womb...See how stupid that is to do. Your statement isn't any more honest than my example. I don't believe either to be true.
There is one candidate interested in peace, there is one candidate who believes we aren't the world's policeman...there is one candidate who believes peace comes from trade with all ... But keep supporting the same thing...obviously the last 50+ years has told us that politics in Washington are leading us down a fantastic road...why would we want to support anyone who would want to change it
