So Romney plagiarized Joe Biden. The irony is thick.

It was Romney’s strongest moment of the debate — and the weakest moment for Obama, who, surprisingly, chose not to challenge the Republican on his response. The Romney campaign turned part of the exchange into a campaign ad.

See “O’Sullivan’s Law”. It applies to an organization like HA, unfortunately.

Thank you for that. Makes sense.

Our local talk radio station replaced Glenn Beck with Heidi Harris.
Her co-hosts are a Harvard lawyer (gag) and a liberal.
Glenn Beck was a bit much sometimes but I don’t care to listen to
“diversity programming”.

Another thing getting tiresome is the constant shrieks of “Troll!!!!”. It’s made the site unreadable. It’s why I’m pretty much outta here, apparently along with many other people — conservative people, I might add, not O-bot trolls. Good luck to ya.

I don’t think I can reiterate this enough, but not a day passes by here at HA, without someone expressing their deep sorrow and regret for your absence on this forum…mostly they mention how much they miss your insightful posts, your verve, your brilliant intellect, stuff like this…

Yes, right. Romney cares about the middle class. Give. Me. A. F***ing. Break.

lostmotherland on October 17, 2012 at 11:34 AM

Yep, I agree Take. . A. F***ing. Break.’. In other words, just leave. Put yourself out of the mysrery of being rodiculed and mocked here, for the inanities that you spout, and off you go….trykos, you can listen there to the echo chamber of likeminded imbeciles….

I wonder how Boss Emeritus Michelle Malkin feels about all of this.
Her creation has been corrupted.

Sleeper cells who came in during the last registration. They’ve just received their engagement orders from OfA. Expect more of them to be activated between now and election day.

One thing I don’t think Michelle Malkin would’ve done is turn this place into MittRomneyCentral II. Romney won the first debate, Obama gets the edge in the second. That’s an objective assessment. Instead it’s post after post extolling every utterance made by Romney, which is getting tiresome. It’s Red Team hyperpartisanship, whish really isn’t completely synonymous with “conservatism”.

Not the debate, the election.

The logic behind such a move by the DNC is obvious. If Romney wins in a landslide, paired with the ‘shellacking’ the Democrats received at the polls in the 2010 midterms, the Democrat brand is damaged. 2016 would be highly doubtful, and even beyond. House and Senate seats would surely be forfeit, too. However, if the base, at least, turns out for Obama, the margin of Romney’s victory could be kept as narrow as possible and the damage to the Democrat brand might be mitigated. 2016 might still be viable, and some of the Senate and House seats might be salvaged, too.

That the core base is so disillusioned, and the enthusiasm gap between GOP voters and Democrat voters is so wide, that the DNC is taking this action and concentrating on their own base, is a direct reflection of Obama’s abysmal record and lack of any plan for the next four years.

We’re not in a “CLASS” system. That’s Europe, middle ages trash to facilitate peon management by the elite rulers.

Yes:
Upper INCOME
Middle INCOME
Lower INCOME

D*mn I hope he changes his mind in Jan …..
the war on coal will be over by then ….

“He said that by now we’d have unemployment at 5.4 percent. The difference between where it is and 5.4 percent is 9 million Americans without work.

That’s how you humanize the numbers. Well done!

I’ve worked for Bain’s competitors in the past (and I plan to get back to consulting when my kids are old enough). I have studied under professors who are experts in currency crises in Asia. I can assure you that if you are running a business, you will want to hire someone like Romney. His answers were awesome last night.

In my opinion the US should select the next President through a case interview (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_interview). A Management consultant is what the US needs right now. Not a lawyer or community organizer.

Certainly not the poor! Now, you could explain this away by throwing out the static analysis and factoring increased revenue from the increasing economy, but I don’t believe that’s what he was talking about.

happi on October 17, 2012 at 12:15 PM

That’s exactly what he’s talking about, as he mentioned several times in the first debate. As did Paul Ryan in his debate with Biden.

Gracias.

Quack, quack, quack.

In the minds of the American voters, the only thing that matters now:

Obama had for years to fix the economy. He failed.

They’ve already made an ad about this:

Very effective.

I want that on TV soonest …..

four more years like the last 4 ….

Class warfare is exactly what Romney will wage if he gets elected. We will all pay for he and his friends looting of America.

After two hours, Bryant—a coal mine owner from Jasper—had heard enough and, in a moment being described as “right out of Atlas Shrugged,” took his turn at the microphone

“Nearly every day without fail…men stream to these [mining] operations looking for work in Walker County. They can’t pay their mortgage. They can’t pay their car note. They can’t feed their families. They don’t have health insurance. And as I stand here today, I just…you know…what’s the use? I got a permit to open up an underground coal mine that would employ probably 125 people. They’d be paid wages from $50,000 to $150,000 a year. We would consume probably $50 million to $60 million in consumables a year, putting more men to work. And my only idea today is to go home. What’s the use? I see these guys—I see them with tears in their eyes—looking for work. And if there’s so much opposition to these guys making a living, I feel like there’s no need in me putting out the effort to provide work for them. So…basically what I’ve decided is not to open the mine. I’m just quitting. Thank you.”
