Bain will be Romney s bane
Do anyone remember when Romney and his camp put out an ad where they used then Senator Obama words out of context. Where Obama was repeating something Senator McCain had said. And the Romney camp thought they were being cute when they did their little ad. In that ad they tried to make it look like President Obama was saying if the economy continues to be bad there is no way he could win. Now I want to tell Romney, because with your being cute B.S. because what goes around comes around. With this big boo-boo by Romney where he said he likes firing people, that is something which could be used against him, and taken out of context, and used against him the way he used that comment Senator Obama said out of context. Well, well, well. I bet it won't be cute then will it Romney?
Yes, and it is being done by his own party.
What he meant to say was that he found himself wearing a pink slip a few times(the green one fitted his taste better though)
Seditious progressive democrats are such hypocrites, they are making a issue out of a private citizen that owns a private company like Romney firing or laying-off a lot of workers because the company was failing and going broke!
Obama's socialism thru $535 million in taxpayer loans was given to the bankrupt company Solyndra that laid off over 1100 employees. At least Romney was gambling with his own money, Obama's misdeeds are far worst because he was gambling with 'Other People's Money'....my money!
I agree! Everywhere Democrats have RULED for the last 30 years those states are insolvent and near collapse. Their policies of creating a welfare state, rewarding failure and punishing success and redistributing wealth from the successful to the parasitic underclass has been a total failure. As a result we now have a nation where 50% of all citizens pay no income taxes and are on some form of government financial assistance while the other half pay for everything. People like the hateful, mean spirited and wrong minded Lawrence O'Donnel and Rachel Madcow just don't seem to realize that their beloved freshman college views of Socialism and Communism-have failed everywhere they have been implemented. When the fiscal house of cards the Democrats have created all comes crashing down-Liberals will no doubt blame Republicans and Wall Street. Their fiscal policies have resulted in over 130 trillion in unfunded entitlement programs and mandated spending even though we only take in 2.4 trillion per year in total revenues. Even a brain dead parasitic Liberal should be able to do the math-their policies and continued spending is UNSUSTAINABLE!!!!
You still won't tell use what these "socialist" bills are. You fail to mention the majority of LOANS have been or are being repaid. You fail to mention the $750billion BAILOUT (no repayment) the bush handed to the banks.
Romney used DADDY's money to buy, dismantle and sell companies. He NEVER tried to make one succeed.
You don't have any money for PRESIDENT OBAMA to "play" with. At least he's trying to bring us out of the disasster bush caused. All the repub want is to take us farther down the cliff. Actions speak louder than word. The gop states action show us where they want the AVERAGE people to go. DOWN. GOP legislation and proposed legislation in DC show us more gop top 1% favoritism. SCREW the other 99%. THAT IS THE GOP AGENDA.
larry74,
It doesn't matter if the loans were paid back, the government is not suppose to interfere with the free market, you would know that little constitutional principle if you weren't such a dire-hard socialist.
Romney's money is Romeny's money, it does not belong to the government, another constitutional principle you don't support.
Finally Keynesian economics do not work, but it is a unconstitutional principle so I'm sure you support it.
I support all the constitution, not just the parts that I like, as the gop does.
You haven't a clue about economics. You monthly check is from the GOVERNMENT. But then you a rightie so you're ENTITTLED right.
A little servey that came out last week stated Fox watchers were less informed that those that watch NOTHING. Most MSNBC viewers watch and READ several sources, unlike Fox watchers.
larry74,
I'm talking about 'The Constitution', not the phoney baloney 'living constitution' of progressivism where progressives twist the 'text' around like a pretzel to suite their political dogma. If you support all of the constitution you would be a constitutional republican like me, instead of being a seditious progressive democrat that wants to undermine our republican form of government by advancing socialism thru democracy.
I must have a bigger clue about economics than you because I know Keynesian economics do not work. But you surely have no clue to where my primary means of income comes from that's for sure and to make ridicules statements about what you think I'm entitled to just proves how lame you truly are.
If the study you read about Fox News was from subjective sources then it's as sound as Obama's word on 'earmarks'.
Shame on all of you on this MSNBC panel. You have NO integrity!!! If the people that watch MSNBC aren't watching other news venues then they are miss informed. I saw Mitt's speech uncut and you know you are changing the context of his statement. Your not even miss leading you are right out deceiving the public. He was talking about having the right to terminate a contract with an insurance company.
If you are going to try to destroy somebody you should not "bare false witness" in doing so. No wonder the libs love Huntsman he has no integrity either.
Shame on you.
Yellow Journalism is what MSNBC is all about, just look at their phoney 'Block The Vote' campaign against photo id and proof of citizenship requirements, both are not legally voter suppression but MSNBC calls them both voter suppression without telling the viewers the courts have already ruled that they are not.
Better listen closer, it is his own party that keeps bringing it up and if it were not for the fact that Romney did go in a fire hundreds of people in the past, it would have no special meaning to anyone.
But dug would have NO problem letting the ENTIRE auto industry colapsing putting an estimated 3 to 5 million more people out of work. Sounds like the GOP agenda they're trying to get through now. Get that unemployment rate up so the 1%ers can have some slave labor.
larry74,
Are you hearing voices in your head? I never said I would let the entire auto industry collapse, you have been listening too much to Ed Schultz. If I was President the American Auto Industry along with most American manufacturing would be protected by putting tariffs on competing products from aboard. I don't support 'Free Trade', its a myth to undercut American products and services.
Forgot to mention. Dug says the government (Obama) isn't suppose to LOAN privates companies money. Let the "free market work". But has NO problem with the government (Bush) GIVING the PRIVATE banks money. Sounds like GOP hypocrisy to me.
And a good share of that money went for CEO bonuses for running the economy over a cliff and ripping the people off.
larry74,
You are hearing voices in your head again, I never even mention GWB giving private banks money, if you bothered to ask I would have told you I was against TARP or any GWB interference with the free market within American borders.
I'm against 'golden parachutes' for failed CEOs, but I'm not on the board of directors of the companies that gave such sweet deals away.
You speak of facts, yet most of your posts are void of any facts...just your opinions. Why should I have to maintain a higher standard than you when it comes to posting facts?
I think Larry stopped off at the local gin mill after he cashed his government check. It's too bad he loafed through life and has to depend on taxpayers like me to support him because I'm doing everything I can to shut down every Socialist program that's being abused by liberals.
Those socialistic programs is all that stands between some people and starving. The vast majority of them are working 40+ hours for corporations that think it is OK to pay their employees $10.00 per hour and offer no benefits. Sad to say this has now become the norm.
I think you should find out about people before you start insulting. I don't drink. It's duggie that gets the gov't check not me. I've worked all my life, paid for mine and my wifes college. Served in combat.
Please, once agai I'll ask, what are all these social programs? You mean Social Security? Put in place by a Republican President. Paid for out of every pay check. Medicare? Paid for out of every pay check with monthly premium payments. Don't sound like social programs. AHCA. Insurance bought from PRIVATE insurance companies. Not very socialistic. Maybe you and duggie should learn a few things. But then the righties never have been much on the truth or learning.
Sorry cruisegirl...that's not true, but nice try anyway. btw We're 15T in hock because of these "socialistic programs". They WILL end.
We are not $15trillion in debt. You fail to mention the 2 unfunded conflicts, the 2 big tax cuts, the unfunded pard d, the $750billion bush GAVE the banks for collapsing the economy or the 16% unemployment rate that the gop policies caused.
I'll still believe the Senators on the economy before you know nothing hate mongers.
Cruisegirl is totally correct. Poverty level is now at 43%. Most of those people have jobs. Some as many a 3 jobs. That must be why Newt wants to eliminate child labor laws and Bachmann wants to eliminate the minimum wage. The right wing want tatal slave labor. Their policies and proposed legislation prove that. And they are on the record speaking louder than your right wing lies.

Obama the first bi-racial president has divided this nation like never before-not brought us closer together like he promised The poor hate the rich and successful, blacks blame the white man for all their problems, many hispanics fail to assimilate and are prouder of Mexico than the USA, and too many people believe that government exists solely to provide them with everything they cannot or WILL NOT provide for themselves. Democrats have created an entitlement mentality in return for votes and political power. That is why they have totally controlled Congress for 38 out of the last 50 years- yet they blame Republicans for all our problems and their brain dead followers who depend upon the government for their very existence buy the lie hook line and sinker. The fiscal crisis they have created since WWII is coming home to roost, there will be a financial reckoning and when it comes it is going to make western Europe finical crisis look like a walk in the park.
I believe you mean GWB divided this country like never before. And the right wing Tea Party is dividing it even more and making sure it stays divided.
Incorrect. Obama has consistently tried to work with Republicans, for the sake of the country. This has proved to be impossible, obviously. Boehnner, himself, publicly stated that the goal of today's Republican Party was ONLY that of destroying this administration, even if it meant destroying the US in the process. It is the extremism of the Tea Party that has been deeply dividing this country, while the Republican agenda of creating a corporate-owned nation has dramatically increased poverty. Like it or not, history shows that when economic disparities become this extreme, nations collapse.
corperations maybe people,but are they american? i see a lot of foriegn bisnisis. makes me wonder if they have green cards. ITS THE LAW!!!!
While it's neither here nor there, why do I keep expecting Romney to launch into a colorful pitch for "Dr. Good's Authentic Cure-all Snake Oil"? That said, I hope someone challenges Romney to explain what he was talking about when he called Obama a "welfare president." First, I assume they are criticizing the idea of welfare for our desperately poor, since they have not complained about the years of extraordinary welfare to our rich/corporations (several trillion dollars since Reagan). Secondly, I am not aware of a single welfare policy or program enacted by President Obama. Our two greatest welfare presidents were Republicans (Eisenhower and Nixon), while it was a Democrat (Clinton) who decided to drown the poor in the bathtub.
No one cared about "The Monroe Doctrine?"
They must not have seen "Some Like It Hot."
If the Baggers had control 30 years ago we wouldn't have 15T in debt today. All the Baggers want is for the country to live on a budget. It works for successful people, it would work for government too.
I would rather spend money to show people how not to be desperately poor instead of wasting it on chronic losers.
Larry Semperfi is right. Try to learn something will ya?
And you're wromg and stupid once again. You can't even listen to the people.
I'm stupid???? lol I'm not on the net 24/7 blogging with a bunch of welfare skanks that think the rich are sanding in line to bail their asses out.
Just keep up the good work. Everybody needs tp see what the righties want and stand for. Name calling, women hating, corporate welfare loving idiots.
First mr jones, we are not on here 24/7.....We leave that kind of jobs to trolls.
I do not happen to be what you so shamefully call a "Well Fair SKANK". If I were and I happen to have the "Freedom" to be on the blog I would still be here.
There are many reason some of us are here. .......Mostly to talk to people of a like mind, who happen to listen to MSNBC and not the fake noise nitwits, because we have the right to make that decision.
Why are you so upset we are here and so bitter you have to call us names
=*=*=*FREEDOM=*=*=*FREEDOM=*=*=*
roscoejones, you are suspended for a week for violating rule # 1 of the Code of Honor.
Once again the worse campaign coverage award goes to the political hacks at MSNBC. Lawrence O’Donnell gets the First Place trophy for being wrong once again. He can't stop making statements and predictions that are wrong. First he tried to dump on Romney for not getting more than 35% when he ended up with 39-40% and then he said he wouldn’t even get as many votes as he did in 2008 (75,000) and he got approximately 95,000 along with O’Donnell’s normal Left-wing rants. Can’t wait until O’Donnell joins his failed buddies at Current TV. I’m still laughing from when he repeatedly said Arnold Swarzenegger would never become Governor of California, and O’Donnell hasn’t been right since.
