Sin? is it an attack on capitalism to question the how in business success? does it matter that the federal government bailed him out three times (or he screwed tax payers)? Federal Bailout 1 Federal Bailout 2 graphics.thomsonreuters.com/11/12/Kansas_City_Steel.pdf does it matter how he treated workers at companies he bought out? i believe in capitalism and business, but calling romney a businessman is a bit absurd. he doesn't create products or jobs, he creates money for investors through financial manipulation and tricks. vote for him, but stop the nonsense that attacks on how he made his money equal an attack on the free enterprise system.... especially since all his conservative opponents in the primaries attacked him over these same issues.

Romney openly represents everything that is wrong with this country Yeah, because being successful in business is a... Sin? Not at all, I just can't give all those wonderful "Job Creators" the credit for successful business's. Very few if any of them got there on their own, most got there from Government Tax breaks and the sweat of decent working Americans. The same people the Pub's would like to screw some more into keeping those vaunted "Job Creators" rolling in the dough, while the rest of us try to pay our bills. Apparently the Republican platform of constantly repeating the lamest crap works, because people actually start believing it. Tom

Apparently the Republican platform of constantly repeating the lamest crap works, because people actually start believing it. Tom You need to read past the BO talking points. Romney is a smart business man. That is it. A good man.....maybe, maybe not. A family man and man of "his" church for sure. Certainly in his business carrier he was out for one thing above all others.....profit. I dont fault that but it also does not make him qualified to be the POTUS. But your dumba$$ talking points about govern taxbreaks, not getting there on their own and off the back of the hard working americans is a joke. Maybe the ultra rich but not the true "Job Creators". Those with small business that started them by themselves and gave years of their lives to make work. Those are the ones hit by the Dem platform. The ones BO tries to lump in with mil and billionaires as if everyone over 250K is somehow a CEO of a multi-national with accountants assuring their money is hidden in swiss accounts. The only ones hit by BO proposals are the former and the latter will get away without any changes by lobbying and boughten pols. \I guess the "lamest crap" does work.....on the far left and the far right. Look in the mirror as it is certainly working on you.

The ones BO tries to lump in with mil and billionaires as if everyone over 250K is somehow a CEO of a multi-national with accountants assuring their money is hidden in swiss accounts. I believe the IRS has estimated that 3-5% of small business owners net over $250K. You can make the case that no small businessman or woman should pay additional taxes but you cannot state that increasing the top marginal tax rate will impact a majority (or even a large minority) of small businesses.

There are enough other issues to vote on besides the Presidential Election. I know that the left is going to take Washington down the wrong path as far as the President goes.
But what about fag "rights", and legalization of marijauna? Governer, etc ...
Yeah, I'm voting.
