Be happy that Romney chose Ryan. He moves to the right and less change of winning in November. He has no choice. Those who oppose any kind of support for social security and medicare told him to choose Ryan. Now we know for sure that the right wing of the Republican Party want to cancel social security and meicare.

Why hasn't Mr. Romney paid taxes into the country he is trying NOW to run? Hmm. Indeed. He has not contributed and he [as I said before] has set himself up as a foreign investor in his own country as a tax loophole. THIS is why he refuses to show them because it is HIM who is truly foreign NOT President Obama. Mr. Romney is a foreign investor to his own country. He formed a group with 6 others to do so more then a few years back.

Veep? No one cares they have both already lost long before it started. It has been chosen by those who are actually calling the shots period. The Goper's have done themselves in as a penance for there atrocities over the economy under the previous administration...

You don't go from zero to CRAZY in under one second on accident folks...

Cheers

Is Romney mentally ill? I am not trying to be funny. Watch his expression and some of what he says can only be immagined. Just like a mentally ill person who immagines that some terrible disaster is going to happen when there are a few clouds in the sky. I would like to know, especially from someone who has a knowledge of psychoatry.

I'm still waiting for the local yokels assembled on this blog to yuk it up over the obvious "If they don't have cornbread, let them eat cake!"

Looks like your wait is over, Keith. It seems you're the only who went there...obviously.

Well done...

They have a lot of cows in Wisconsin, but they also grow some corn up in those parts.

Arrgghh...somebody let you in on the secret, didn't they?

So Mitt does a walk-about in a cornfield...in your eyes, that must make him fully vetted to be President...really setting the bar low, aren't you? But that low bar could have applied equally to any of the Republican wanna-be's from the GOP primaries. Sounds like you're trying to give Mitt credit for any corn that grows in MA. Just maybe, he can recognize and identify corn better than he can all those "hardware items" he had in his bucket...you remember...the ones he had just purchased from a "hardware store", but didn't seem to know what they were.

It appears your hero evidently doesn't have the cojones to call those boys he was auditioning for VP personally to tell them that he'd made another choice, but instead, sent one of his sons to tell them. It seems that not only does he not have a core, but he doesn't have much of a backbone either. Must have something to do with that "I love to fire people..." mantra of his. I think I saw a look of profound relief on Portman's face when asked about it...not quite sure about T-paw.

Nuff said!

One can only hope that you'll follow your own dictum and spare us from more of your blather hero worship of Mitt. But I'll put that the prospects of that happening right up there with Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.

Another piece of cake, Keith?

Err...Eyes Wide Shut, Mitt Romney as Governor of Massachusetts oversaw his cabinet Secreretary of Food and Agriculture's progamming, I'll have you know, and is well versed in the issues of agriculture from that leadership experience.

And Ryan, as Chair of the House Budget committee he has been responsible for helping to develop and steering every federal Agriculture Department budget.

BTW, Obama was shooting his lying mouth off in Iowa today, claiming Paul Ryan was topping a Agriculture relief bill. Truth is, the House, now in recess, had passed their Agriculture relief bill two weeks ago, and await the Senate, which is in session, to take up their bill or pass one of their own so that the two competing bills can go to conferenence committee, the way legislation is worked on and? past in our Congress. So who is the demogoging liar here? No diference in the Obama campaign style yet that I can see.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, you can fool all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

And the American people won't be fooled again, as the song went!

The farm bill cuts attack the corporate welfare built into the Agriculture system that go primarily to the huge agri-business concerns. Take away the subsidies for ethanol, an immoral way to use tax or borrowed dollars to promote the turning of a food product into fuel additives, and you have that $30 billion, Eye's Wide Shut.

The US Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack has stated that despite the drought, this year the Agriculture Department expects the corn crop to be our 3rd largest ever, as family famers and agri-business put more acreage to corn than in any other time expecting that the green energy Obama Administration would be subidizing ethanol production in larger numbers than ever before. And now the little side game goes on of the talking down the crop so that the Wall Street bankers and hedge funds push up the price of corn to astronominical levels thru teh commodity futures markets, although they have no intention of ever taking possession of so much a one bushel. Who gets hurt in this, none other than the consumer and the tax payer...which is, really, "the same difference", as Yogi Berra would say.

Stop soaking up the taking points, Eye's Wide Shut, and learn to read in between the lines, and then think for yourself. Then you might be able to mount a cogent arguement here.

BTW, when I leased 200 acres of Western Massachusetts farmland while working for the VA in Central-Western Massachusetts, I raised corn, primarily for stand sales, feed for my chickens, and family use. I think I know a bit more about corn than you do. And the stuff they utilize for ethanol production and for cattle feed is not the yellow stuff, but the green plant itself. So showing off shriveled poorly developed ears of corn from a non irrigate field is not exactly a definition of the expected losses of our corn crop to come. I know about irrigationl....I had to irrigate mine, even in usually drought free New England.
