Steve, growing income inequality is a real issue, and all over the world. "Class warfare" is talking point. And you seem to have no interest or ability to talk about this in any real way. It's just angst. And no matter what I say, you'd rather argue with some dreadlocked fool with a Che shirt, and point out what he says. Like he represents me. Or like I care.

So go find someone like that and let loose. Tell them how much you hate moochers, union grifters, and whiny minorities. I'm not that interested.

Get as huffy as you wish.

It's your campaign dude.

No, actually it's not. I have nothing to do with it. That's just another play from your sad bag of tricks. All this to defend Mitt Romney's statement that Obama wants everyone to make the same amount of money.

I enjoyed visiting your world. I'm going to go back to reality now. Have a nice weekend.

Well not really but if it gives you a reason to hate him......

You're always welcome.

Thanks for the coffee cake.

That didn't take long, did it, Steve?

It's official for sure now- Romney scares the hell out of me. Wake up Republicans.

So what in particular frightens you so badly?

Romney isn't actually very scary at all. That's why the further right members of the party arent on board.

I have to agree with Steve here. There's very little that's "scary" about Romney. This man is about as vanilla as it gets. He's Ned Flanders with a MBA.

I know these are sound bites, deemed for sensationalizing, but when you say "corporations are people too," & "I like to fire people who provide services to me," that gives one a glimpse of his makeup.

His second statement is something we all may do from time to time- whether it's looking for a cement contractor, yard service, furniture mover, etc., so it's forgivable to a degree. Tie it into the first statement however, and it appears he's all about the old saying "my way or the highway."

Will he be willing to budge? There's enough gridlock in Washington. He & Gingrich (aka "Captain Gridlock") are the leading contenders for a major political party? I used to lean to the right, I just can't buy into the "Rs" anymore. Just my 2 cents.

Westside Steve

For 1 thing bob, corporations really are people. It's not a machine it's not a building it's a group of hundreds if not thousands maybe more human beings. A tiny few are executives who might make a lot of money. The rest are the rank and file; guys that go to work every damn day, pay taxes and hope that they can live on savings and social security.

And I suppose everyone wants to hire people who provide good service.

Why wouldn't you?

Both of these Romney statements are completely taken out of context, especially the second one.

All he was talking about yesterday was having the ability to switch health insurers - or any other service business - if they don't provide you the service they provide you. Anyone who is clipping that statement to have it mean something else is being disingenuous.

Of course, Romney can't really complain about this, since he's already done this in his ads and when called on it basically said, "Who cares?" But just because Mitt Romney has no shame and will say anything it doesn't mean the rest of us shouldn't either. You've got to call it bullshit in both instances.

heckofajobbrownie

Of course, being Romney, the point he was making is that you should be able to change your health insurer if you want to, and saying under the Affordable Care Act you can't.

Except that's not true, and he knows it. Because his Massachusetts plan and the ACA are essentially the same thing. And the ACA does let you switch insurers if you don't like the service you're getting. Just like you can in Massachusetts.

Because Romney will lie to anyone, or say anything, if he thinks it will help him become president. And that's the worry about him. It's not that his temperament is "scary" or that his beliefs are. It's that he's a fraud.
