No it's that crappy because of the obvious mistakes he's made that every person can see. Biased or not, you can see this guy can't make a decision to save his life and when he does, they are terrible.
It is bias not to see the Ryan pick as a mistake, or the decision not to release his taxes as a mistake, or his lies about Bain or Obama as a mistake, or to avoid the press as a mistake, or to backtrack from a plan he called marvelous by his own VP, or all the wonderful decisions he made when he was in Europe, or all his flip flops or all his gaffes, or so many other things.
Wow-he's a real gem.
Obama's a real gem that's what we do know. Unemployment over 8%, the longest string of weeks in the last 60 years.
A weak economy...which he owns now.
High debt
High deficit
No budget in 3 years
Lowering the credit rating
Dividing America
Yeah, Obama is all aces, and it seems that is just honky dory with you....how can you even complain about Romney?
OK, I'm gonna start with the credit rating. Do you think Obama did that all by himself with no help from the House Republicans? Specifically the right wing Tea Party House Republicans that repeatedly refused to go along with the House Speakers attempts to compromise with Obama?
The ones that were willing to let us go into default and shut down the Government over something that numerous other Presidents were able to do numerous times with no problems whatsoever?
C'mon.

No, Obama didn't do that all by himself, but he didn't try to divert it either, Obama had no plan along with the dem. house and the dem senate that he had to change it. When the credit agency saw he had no plan and wasn't planing on one is when they had to pull the plug.
And you are following Romney/Ryan like a good rightwing tool. He resorted to Rove's tactics because unfortunately it works to be negative.
<yawn> Regurgitated leftist shit... do you have anything new?
Citizens United? More unrelated leftist bullshit... You ignore wealthy 0bama and whine that the rich Republicans won't give you free shit...I wish it didn't. I wish both campaigns were truthful and factual and the campaign was on issues but unfortunately, we get what we get with Citizens United and the very wealthy buying elections and not everyone being fully informed on the issues when they vote.
Boring...
You bore me too with your insults and generalities about the Left. So far, you've brought nothing to the table either.
And just for the record, I never whined about wanting the Government to give me free shit. I don't need help from the Government. I work, my husband works. We have never taken a handout. I don't have a problem with wealth or success and I don't envy the wealthy.
What I do believe is we need to help the most vulnerable among us. I give a shit about others. I'm not all about me and what is mine. I do believe the wealthy are not paying their fair share in taxes and need to contribute more.

If you read the credit agency report, they stated one of the reasons they downgraded was because of the hyper partisan politics and the fact that Congress wasn't able to make a deal on the debt ceiling as major reasons for the downgrade.

My comments weren't generalities.. They're a direct comment on the lack of originality in YOUR leftist drivel... You deflect with unrelated topics and logical fallacies...
You are a dime a dozen over at any leftist site...

You can tax the "rich" at 100% and we would STILL be in very, very DEEP shit...
And you do know that "the Right" gives very generously to charities, don't you?
This doesn't surprise me. Not only is Ryan not well known, what people do know, they don't like.
He is a right wing, Tea Party, guy and everyone will see that soon enough if they haven't already.
And for Romney to immediately distance himself from Ryan's plan that he called marvelous, is really quite sad.
Romney has run the most pathetic campaign I have seen in a long time.
This guy can not make a good decision if his life depended on it.
Look at his VP pick, European tour, the NAACP fiasco, his taxes fiasco, his Bain lies, all the gaffes and flip flops, all the lies about Obama, his failure to talk to almost any media except FOX, I mean really-no one can seriously consider this a serious campaign.
Really? You don't think we deserve better than this loser? C'mon.

They had to bring down the borrowing....Obama wasn't going to do that because he needs to borrow for his social agenda. Yes, it's hyperpartisan.....we're 16 trillion in debt and rising everyday. We couldn't even pass a budget, and Obama's budget got 0 votes....0 votes, what kind of major league president offers a budget and it gets 0 votes??????
No one is arguing for just keeping it the same.
Although one side is arguing for keeping it.
Really? So where is the plan? I havent seen anything passed in the senate, or anything offered by Obama, Reid or any other democrat
The plan is primarily to (1) shift the way Medicare pays for services away from encouraging high-volume, low (or mediocre) value service provision, and (2) promote and assist health care providers in delivering better care more efficiently and less expensively, while holding them accountable for quality outcomes. You can see some of what's coming down the pike in results from this private sector pilot in Massachusetts that incorporates some of these principles: http://www.usmessageboard.com/healt...-reform-model-lowers-costs-improves-care.html. More importantly, there are some early indicators that providers have already begun to reorganize care delivery in response to the ongoing and coming reforms, accounting for some of Medicare's current record-low cost growth--and offering some promise that we might be entering a new era of cost containment.
As for where the legislation supporting that is, the bulk of the reforms passed into law here. There are other pieces of Medicare reform scattered around a bit but I'm assuming your request was more tongue-in-cheek.

If Romney's campaign is such a disaster why are the Governor and the President in a dead heat in the majority of polls?
Your biased opinion makes it just another opinion... Your generalities and one-sided view shows you to be weak in your arguments...
And here you resort to lame, leftist vague generalities and spin... Absolutely nothing original and all just regurgitated shit we could cut and paste from any HuffyPuffy half-wit...
You bring nothing to the table, but sadly you seem proud of that fact....
Yes, and this post here brought so much to the table. Thanks for your insight.
Pointing out weak leftist arguments and tired regurgitated talking points is a hobby of mine...
Thanks...
Just not as much... That's ok - you thought you had a point..And just for the record, I never whined about wanting the Government to give me free shit. I don't need help from the Government. I work, my husband works. We have never taken a handout. I don't have a problem with wealth or success and I don't envy the wealthy.

And you do know that "the Right" gives very generously to charities, don't you?
Yes, and so does the left-give to charities.
Except nobody is looking at "just slashing Medicare and Medicaid and SS"... That is just regurgitated spin and lies... It's laughable, actually... If you really and truly believe that, then you're beyond kool-aid....And I in no way advocate taxing the rich at 100%.
And yes, our debt is out of control.
So a balanced approach is in order-not just slashing Medicare and Medicaid and SS but also looking at the defense budget for example and how bloated that is.

That's a great question. My guess is that the economy sucks and Obama is taking the heat for that but Romney is a terrible candidate and therefore isn't able to pull ahead.
In the swing states, Obama is ahead and the electoral college.
By Ian Millhiser
In April of 2011, after Republican Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan had been House Budget Chair for only a few months, he convinced nearly the entire House GOP caucus to vote for a laissez-faire budget resolution that would slash education, raise taxes on the middle class, and destroy Medicaids promise to provide health care to the most vulnerable Americans. Like his running mate Mitt Romneys tax plan, the Ryan Plan also combined austerity for the poor and the middle class with large tax cuts for the rich.
The Ryan Plan that passed the House in 2011 is most famous, however, for its multiple step plan to phase out Medicare. Let us say that again so we are perfectly clear about what the Ryan Plan does to Medicare. It does not just end Medicare as we know it and it certainly does not reform Medicare. The Ryan Plan simply ends Medicare, although it admittedly takes some time for it to achieve this goal.

The problem with this logic is that the money was already spent. Congress had already passed the appropriations bills.
So this was just a gimmick on the part of the Republicans and unfortunately we all paid a price for it with a credit downgrade.
Here's where I will give some ground. I think Obama could of done a better job of getting involved and working with both sides and in my view, and that of others, he did not handle this as well as he could have. But, either did the Republicans and they said repeatedly that they were willing to let us default to get their way. No wonder we were downgraded.
