I will be voting for Obama because the alternative would be a disaster. I agree with the Obama policies but policies alone are not what is guiding my decision. Obama is a competent and honest man and so is Ron Paul. If it were between Obama and Ron Paul and Ron Paul won I would be disappointed but not heartsick. I would consider Ron Paul my president and I would support him as such.
Mitt Romney is a hardcore liar and a criminal and his flunky Paul Ryan is more of the same.
I support the Democratic Party but I support America more. Ron Paul is a throwback to men like Dwight Eisenhower, Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan in that he is a man of honor who has a deep and abiding love for America and so does President Obama. That is what the choice should be for voters and they should be able to base their vote on matters of issue and policies and not on misleading campaign ads with one candidate, Romney and his super PACs throwing shit and the other Obama play defense and debunking the lies.
GM plant — Lyin Ryan: blamed Obama for the closing of GM plant in his hometown of Janesville, Wis.Truth:One of the biggest whoppers of the night; theplant closed before Obama was even sworn into office. His position also contradicts the Republicans’ position of opposing President Obama’s auto rescue. Stimulus— Lyin Ryan: “The stimulus was a case of political patronage, corporate welfare, and cronyism at their worst. You, the working men and women of this country, were cut out of the deal.”Truth:The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office said the stimulus created 3.3 million jobs. Four out of five economists agree. Ryan himself wrote letters requesting stimulus money, then lied about it. Medicare— Lyin Ryan: “Seven hundred and sixteen billion dollars, funneled out of Medicare by President Obama.”Truth:As we’ve pointed out many times, Obamacare doesn’t raid Medicare and Ryan’s plan would do a lot more to ruin Medicare.One of the biggest lies of the campaign. Obamacare —LyinRyan: “You see, even with all the hidden taxes to pay for the health care takeover…”Truth:Politifact called the “government takeover” of health care meme their“lie of the year” in 2010. Jobs — LyinRyan: “We have a plan for a stronger middle class, with the goal of generating 12 million new jobs over the next four years.”Truth:An almost impossible goal. Debt — LyinRyan: “The choice is whether to put hard limits on economic growth, or hard limits on the size of government, and we choose to limit government.”Truth:A false choice. There is no evidence suggesting that decreasing the size of government would grow the economy; in fact, it may hurt by killing government and contractor jobs. And much of the debt is due to Bush policies that Ryan voted for, like the Bush tax cuts and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Simpson-Bowlescommission— Lyin Ryan: “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.”Truth:Ryan sat on that commission, and, as chairman of the Budget Committee was a leader on it. He voted against the commission’s recommendations, bringing all the other Republicans along with him. Just to give you an idea of what compulsive and pathological liar Ryan is he even told a major about his marathon running prowess. Ryan last week told radio host Hugh Hewitt that he had run a marathon
"Under three [hours], high twos. I had a two hour and fifty-something." The TRUTH is his fastest time ever was 4 hours and 1 minute. That lie is a slap in the face to all serious runners.
This is not tit for tat with the birthers. This is true!
Turns out that George Romney, Mitt's Father was born in Mexico. That makes Mitt Romney ineligible to be president.
Born George Wilcken Romney
July 8, 1907
Colonia Dublán, Galeana, Chihuahua, Mexico
Mitt's grandfather was a polygamist.
Mitt's father, George Romney, was born in Mexico and was a Mexican
citizen. There's no indication that George Romney was ever naturalized
as a U.S. Citizen and under Mexican law, George Romney was a Mexican
citizen, regardless of whether or not he had two U.S. citizen parents at
birth. George Romney was born in Mexico and his parents were Mexican citizens.
According to Mexican law, even the children of Mexican citizens are
considered citizens of Mexico. When Mitt Romney was born, he acquired
dual-citizenship as both a U.S. and Mexican citizen.
Therefore under Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution, Mitt
Romney is NOT a Natural Born Citizen and ineligible for the office of
President.
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States,
at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the
Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who
shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen
Years a Resident within the United States.
Lawsuits must be filed immediately in order to prevent Romney from
becoming the GOP nominee or taking the oath of office if he's elected
President.
The phony Republicans with their phony Christian values have chosen serial womanizer Clint Eastwood to speak at their CONvention/lie fest. Republicans like to pretend that they stand for family and Christian values but clearly they do not. All that talk is smoke and mirrors. They have proven that once again by hiring an actor to speak at their convention. Not an actor like Ronald Reagan who actually represented family values in real life but instead they picked Clint Eastwood who aborts babies and goes through women like toilet paper.
It's all about image with these sick freaks. During the primaries there were also two freaky womanizers running - Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain. Other than his compulsive lying and tax evasion Romney's sleaze factor may not reach typical Republican standards so that must be why the brought it Clint Eastwood. To add drug abuse and pedophilia, two more Republican values they need to bring in Rush Limbaugh. Mike Huckabee will be there for the gluttony factor.
Glutton, Pedophile and Drug Addict
Clint is there for to represent and demonstrate two Republican values, hypocrisy and misogyny.
Unlike the smears and lies Republicans have been using about the President who like Vice President Biden is a true family man who respects women, the charges I have leveled at Clint Eastwood are 100% true.
Clint Eastwood is not a good family man nor does he represent American values. He's a true Hollywood elitist who can't keep his pants on.
Eastwood told biographer Richard Schickel that he lost his virginity at age 14.[1][2] He has fathered at least seven children by five women and been described as a "serial womanizer."[1][2][3] According to biographers Marc Eliot and Patrick McGilligan, Eastwood had affairs with actresses Catherine Deneuve,[4][5]Jill Banner,[6]Jamie Rose,[7]Inger Stevens,[8]Jo Ann Harris,[9]Jean Seberg,[10] script analyst Megan Rose,[9][11]James Brolin's former wife Jane,[12] columnist Bridget Byrne, [13] and swimming champion Anita Lhoest.[4]
Biographer and friend Paul Lippman have indicated that Eastwood was
particularly sexually promiscuous in the 1970s. He purchased the Hog's
Breath Inn in Carmel in the early 1970s, and he used his apartment
nearby to meet young ladies for "nooners" and "five in the
afternooners." [14]
According to Lippman, "Eastwood seemed to get a bang out of this
kinkier side to himself and rarely concealed it, often gloated about
it."[14]
Eastwood married Maggie Johnson on December 19, 1953, six months after they met on a blind date.[15]
However, their matrimony would not prove altogether smooth, with
Eastwood later acknowledging that he had married at too young of an age
(twenty-three). A decade later, while separated from Johnson, Eastwood
had an affair with dancer Roxanne Tunis (who was also married yet
separated), inadvertently fathering his first child, Kimber Tunis (born
June 17, 1964); he did not publicly acknowledge her until 1996.[16] After a reconciliation, he had two children with Johnson: Kyle Eastwood (born May 19, 1968) and Alison Eastwood
(born May 22, 1972). Eastwood filed for divorce in 1979 after another
long separation, but the $25 million divorce settlement was not
finalized until May 1984.[17][18]
Eastwood entered a relationship with actress Sondra Locke
in 1975. They lived together for fourteen years, despite the fact that
Locke remained married (in name only) to her gay husband, Gordon
Anderson.[19][20] Locke had two abortions and a tubal ligation within the first four years of the relationship.[21][22] The couple co-starred in six films together: The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Gauntlet, Every Which Way but Loose, Bronco Billy, Any Which Way You Can, and Sudden Impact. On April 10, 1989, while Locke was directing the film Impulse, Eastwood changed the locks on their Bel Air home, had many of her possessions removed and placed in storage.[23]Locke filed a palimony suit against Eastwood, then sued him a second time for fraud, regarding a phony directing contract he set up for her in settlement of the first lawsuit.[24] Eastwood and Locke finally resolved the dispute with a non-public settlement in 1999.[25] Her autobiography, The Good, the Bad, and the Very Ugly, includes a harrowing account of Eastwood's treatment of her during the events surrounding their separation.[26]
During the last four years of his cohabitation with Locke, Eastwood
had an intermittent, hidden affair with flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves.
According to biographers, the two met at a pub in Carmel, and conceived
a son, Scott Reeves (born March 21, 1986), at the premiere of Pale Rider.[27] They also had a daughter, Kathryn Reeves (born February 2, 1988).[18] The birth certificates for both children stated "Father declined."[28][29] Although they were mentioned in exposé articles as early as 1995, Eastwood did not present his and Reeves' children to the public until 2002.[30] Kathryn served as Miss Golden Globe at the 2005 ceremony where she presented Eastwood with an award for Million Dollar Baby.[31]
In 1990, Eastwood began living with actress Frances Fisher, whom he had met on the set of Pink Cadillac (1989).[32] They co-starred in Unforgiven, and had a daughter, Francesca Fisher-Eastwood (born August 7, 1993).[33] The couple ended their relationship in early 1995,[34] but remain friends and later acted together in True Crime.
It's no secret that the large "too big to fail banks" and in a large part responsible for the economic collapse and the largest transfer of wealth from the poor and middle to the ruling class in the history of the world. Here is an example of just how ruthless and evil these souless bastards are.
Those dirty fucking evil treasonous cock suckers fired employee Richard Eggers because when he was a kid he put a cardboard dime in the coin slot of a washing machine. I am not shitting you. Richard Eggers fired for trying to get a free wash in 1963 when he was 17 years old!
Wells Fargo Fires Iowa Worker for Minor 1963 Crime
Richard Eggers Fired By Wells Fargo
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Wells Fargo Home Mortgage (WFC)
has fired a Des Moines worker over a 1963 incident at a Laundromat
involving a fake dime in the wake of new employment guidelines.
Richard
Eggers, 68, was fired in July from his job as a customer service
representative for putting a cardboard cutout of a dime in a washing
machine nearly 50 years ago in Carlisle, the Des Moines Register reported Monday.
Another example of corporate terrorism. Mitt (I Like Firing People) Romney would be proud of John G. Stumph CEO of Wells Fargo. It seems that he likes firing people too. Members of the ruling class are all alike.
John Stumpf became Chairman for Wells Fargo & Company in January
2010. He was named Chief Executive Officer in June 2007, elected to
Wells Fargo’s Board of Directors in June 2006, and has been President
since August 2005. Wikipedia
(Reuters) - Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N)
Chief Executive Officer John Stumpf received $19.8 million in total
compensation in 2011, an increase of about 5 percent from the previous
year and that's just from Well Fargo. If this prick is typical of other CEOs in the US his compensation from the company he runs is a tiny portion of what goes into his greedy pockets.

One thing that is true is that Romney left college to go to France as a Mormon missionary to avoid the draft.
Like Most Neocons, Mitt Romney Avoided the Draft During VietnamUnlike most, however, he has changed his story about it Jon Ponder | Jun 8, 2012
Romney protested in favor of the Vietnam War
Mitt Romney has built his international relations team out of many, if not most, of the same neocons whose “bomb first, ask questions never” policies were at the root of the foreign affairs disasters during the George W. Bush era.
In the 1960s, like most high-profile neocons — Dick Cheney, Ted Nugent, Paul Wolfowitz, Bill Kristol, John Bolton and their cheerleaders like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly — Mitt Romney avoided serving in the Vietnam War. Like Cheney, Romney sought and received multiple deferments. Cheney had five; Romney had four. (Like George Bush, John Bolton served in the National Guard, which was all but a guarantee against service overseas in those days.)
But unlike his fellow draft-dodging neocons, Romney has a record of lying about his deferments:
Though an early supporter of the Vietnam War, Romney avoided military service at the height of the fighting after high school by seeking and receiving four draft deferments, according to Selective Service records. They included college deferments and a 31-month stretch as a “minister of religion” in France, a classification for Mormon missionaries that the church at the time feared was being overused.The country was cutting troop levels by the time he became eligible for the draft, and his lottery number was not called.
And.......
As a presidential candidate in 2007, Romney told The Boston Globe he was frustrated, as a Mormon missionary, not to be fighting alongside his countrymen. :
“I was supportive of my country,” Romney said. “I longed in many respects to actually be in Vietnam and be representing our country there, and in some ways it was frustrating not to feel like I was there as part of the troops that were fighting in Vietnam.”
…But the frustration he recalled in 2007 does not match a sentiment he shared as a Massachusetts Senate candidate in 1994, when he told The Boston Herald, “I was not planning on signing up for the military.”
“It was not my desire to go off and serve in Vietnam,but nor did I take any actions to remove myself from the pool of young men who were eligible for the draft,” Romney told the newspaper.
HOW DID ROMNEY THE LIAR and CROOK GET $101,000,000 IN HIS IRA?!?OR The Secret Behind Mitt's Magic IRA OR.. How to fit 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag.
Especially when by law he was allowed to invest only $30,000 a year into
it? William D. Cohan at Bloomberg had some questions about this as
well, right here: http://www.bloomberg...agical-ira.html
This great mystery seems to have troubled others, as well. On July 3,
Current TV host Jennifer Granholm, a former Democratic governor of
Michigan, invited Edward Kleinbard, a law professor at the University of
Southern California, on her show to discuss how Romney could have
accomplished this remarkable feat. There were “only two possibilities,”
Kleinbard told Granholm. Either “from a little acorn, a mighty oak grew
very, very quickly, extraordinarily so,” Kleinbard explained, causing
Granholm to interject, “What little acorn could grow to be $101 million?
I want to get some of that acorn!”
The other possibility, Kleinbard suggested, was not dissimilar to what
[Mark] Maremont theorized: that Romney contributed limited-partnership
interests in Bain’s buyouts to his IRA. What was “quite troubling” to
Kleinbard is that he suspected Romney may have contributed these
interests to his IRA at a fraction of their market value -- “pennies on
the dollar” -- and well below what he might have charged you or me.
When the buyouts became successful, Kleinbard proposed, the pennies on
the dollar were suddenly worth real dollars.
“What’s very frustrating to me about all this is that we can only talk
in abstractions and generalities because, again, of the lack of
disclosure,” Kleinbard said.
Lack of disclosure is the hallmark of Willard's career. His suspicious
activities are always cloaked in secrecy. Willard will stonewall, lie,
BS, hem and haw but he will NOT disclose his financial activities.
