Sounds like the discussion Mrs. Paul and I had at lunch. I’d said at least if Pres Obama wins reelected, people will have health insurance and better overall health care. She asked about Romney. I said he’s talked about repealing ACA… then talks about replacing with something better… but generally won’t say what that ‘better’ is….

So I just don’t know.

But what I do know is, with Pres Obama in, my grandkids born with preexisting conditions won’t have to worry about getting insurance.

“Can a ‘true’ Romney even be said to exist?” Yes. The above is a partial description of him. “Which is the ‘true’ Romney?” Both. The positions are not contradictory, because one health plan doesn’t necessarily fit 50 states.

Nice southpaw, however your analysis fails to admit that ROMNEY hasn’t stated this at all. If HE’D explain his position more clearly perhaps it would make sense.

Maybe you can write to him and tell him what he should be thinking/saying. Might work.

Jon Stewart had another one earlier this week showing Romney campaigning about the country explaining that Mr. Obama is all for redistribution……then cut to Romney’s 60 Minutes interview explaining how he is an advocate for progressive tax rates for the wealthy, which as we all know is redistribution.

It appears to me that his inconsistencies can be generally characterized into two buckets; 1) When he is talking to the national media he moderates his positions, 2) When at campaign rallies, (or private fundraisers), he lurches back rightward.

I cannot fathom how Mitt Romney can flop around like a fish out of water and yet some people think he is a great candidate or they don’ think he’s a great candidate, but they are going to vote for him anyway. He was all for Romneycare, but not Obamacare. He is all for states rights, except when he isn’t. He is all for the 47% to be tossed out of consideration in getting his vote at a $50,000 per plate fundraiser for his elite buddies, but supports our troops, our seniors, our struggling middle class all of whom are in that 47%. A whole lot of people don’t make $50,000 per year, much less spend it in one night. He took a $77,000 deduction for his wife’s dressage horse for her therapy, but wants to close tax loopholes. I’ve seen people tased that didn’t flop around as much as Mittens. Paul Ryan is worse than Mittens. What a terrible twosome.

The author is confusing “empathy” with “sympathy”. Empathy means understanding another person’s situation because you have had a similar experience. Sympathy is an acknowledgment of another person’s situation and offering support. I would wager that Mitt has never gone without health insurance, or an income, or a home or food or any of the other situations many American citizens have been in. Therefore, he cannot offer empathy, only sympathy.

EXCLUSIVE: Romney Invested Millions in Chinese Firm That Profited on US Outsourcing

Last month, Mitt Romney’s campaign got into a dustup with the Washington Post after the newspaper reported that Bain Capital, the private equity firm the GOP presidential candidate founded, invested in several US companies that outsourced jobs to China and India. The campaign indignantly demanded a retraction, claiming that these businesses did not send jobs overseas while Romney was running Bain, and the Post stood by its investigation. Yet there is another aspect to the Romney-as-outsourcer controversy. According to government documents reviewed by Mother Jones, Romney, when he was in charge of Bain, invested heavily in a Chinese manufacturing company that depended on US outsourcing for its profits—and that explicitly stated that such outsourcing was crucial to its success.

As I said 2 years ago that the former “liberal Republican governor of Massachusetts” will have a problem trying to stay on message as the Republican nominee for president of the US.

He has a problem with message. And not staying on message is a deadly to a political campaign.

His message changes weekly. It’s like he used to buy a company and if it was not a money maker, get rid of it. He does politics the same way. If a message does not instantly move him into 1st place, get rid of it and try another.

Obama is not winning; Romney is giving it away.

The economy is the worst in 80 years, unemployment is over 8% for 3+ years, the deficits has been $1 trillion+ for 4 straight years, the middle east policy is in shambles and the Romney forces have millions more in campaign money and they are losing the campaign for president.

Turns out the blog wasn’t about Bigfoot at all. Just another librul attack on that poor, misunderstood man. He’s so beat up now that the libruls are turning out in droves in Iowa and other states to vote for the Socialist Muslim Kenyan.

Anyhow, if you’re like me and have health insurance from your job, you don’t want a bunch of bums and Those People to have it. I say let them go out and hump it the way I do to get it. I don’t want to get all hot and bothered and sound like #1 Foxy Lady, but far as I’m concerned, if they don’t have it they can just go suck it. I mean, if everybody gets it that’ll be one more thing that won’t be different between good Christian working people like me and those godless heathen, abortion-loving, freeloading bums. It’s sort of like the cell phones you see in the hands of all these folks at WalMart. You know they never paid for those phones. They’re sponging on us to get them. I say let them use a pay phone or heck tie some bailing twine between a couple cans if they want to talk to somebody that ain’t there.

It may already be too late for Romney. The libruls have him down on the ground and are pounding him while all their freeloading supporters are flocking to the polls right now. I just hate to see the pictures of all those fresh-faced punks lined up to give us four more years of Socialism.

And as for this new ad the Obama people put out, you know it’s got awful low in this country when you can’t even come out and tell the truth without somebody acting like you just murdered your Mom. Well, in your heart you know Romney’s right. And the Righter you are, the righter he is.

Anyhow, I’m headed back to the warehouse for the check-in. In maybe 30 minutes old Ace and me will be in front of the TV watching Fox News and Ace will be whining every time that ad with Johnny Cash singing “That Dirty Old Egg-Sucking Dog” comes on.

Mitt shows his empathy by trying to save the very personal medical system that has evolved in the USA. Decisions have always been made on a case by case basis through discussions between the patient and doctor.

All that is needed is financial subsidy for the elderly and the lower income citizens.. The 2700 pages of care guidelines, devised by politicians, that will create a massive, new, cost-bloating bureaucracy to execute directives from above, directly interferes with doctor-patient relationship. Decisions were already made by lawmakers in DC.

Not only is it empathetic personally and medically it also is more efficient, less intrusive, and more humane.

OK Romney is a dope but what politician doesn’t say anything to be elected?

They all do, but has any of them been worse at pulling it off than Romney?

Even his current BS about folks being better off is not true on a micro level

But he’s not the president on a micro level, is he? His job is to manage the macro level, and on that level, we are better off than we were 4 years ago. Do you not remember witnessing people’s fortunes disappearing on a daily basis with the dropping market 4 years ago?

Also, contrary to your opinion, many people are better off than they were 4 years ago. Some of us are still recovering, and some are worse off. So what? It’s all in whether you choose to stay the course or go back to the policies that led to our current situation. For many people, the path of least resistance is to go the current direction and not tempt fate twice by going back to the policies of the previous administration.

Scholars from New York University and Stanford have released a study of drone warfare in Pakistan. It calls for a “significant rethinking of current US [sic] targeted killing and drone strike policies.” The report is very negative on drone warfare. Nevertheless, it could have been much harder hitting had it condemned the U.S. presence in that region altogether.

How does drone warfare affect the lives of those living under drones that hover above for 24 hours at a time ready to strike someone who may be next to you? How do second-drone strikes affect those killed and wounded who are attending funerals for those killed in first strikes? The report contains the comments of Pakistanis who were interviewed.

So Tom, how long did you contribute in the workforce before you retired? What was the US debt when you began working? What was the debt on the day you retired?

My point is, have you been concerned about the US debt the entire time you were working post-Vietnam, or is this concern for the debt a new thing? Did you raise a ruckus about the debt when Reagan tripled it in 8 years? Did you raise a ruckus about it when GW Bush doubled it in 8 years?

I saw the exchanges with Scout earlier and wondered HOW his pension is different than other federal employees?

Oh, it’s different from the federal pensions of workers who started federal service after around 1987—that’s for sure. After Reagan and his pals got through with “reform”, modern workers get a pension equal to 1% of the average annual salary for the three highest-paid years. That means that if you work 40 years, you get a pension equal to about 40% of your departing salary. On the other hand, if you joined up before then and elected to stay on the old plan, your pension could be as much as 80% of your final salary. The Reagan bunch cut the federal pension in half.

If Romney and his supporters want to know why he’s going to lose Virginia, with all those salary-frozen federal workers the Republicans love to shaft, he won’t need to look far for a reason. The only thing the Republicans can’t accomplish is to deprive those federal workers of the right to vote.

I find this quote the most egregious:
“Obamacare is really Exhibit No. 1 of the president’s political philosophy, and that is that government knows better than people how to run your lives. It is a view that government should stand between you and your doctor.”

1st: ensuring that all citizens have access to health care, far from standing between them & their doctor, actually facilitates their ability to be standing in front of their doctor at all. Recent Romney statements indicate he actually thinks (now) that people who can’t afford insurance are just fine accessing “health care” thru emergency room visits. Here he ignores both the facts that “emergency care” is NOT health care and that as Governor he demonstrated an understanding of that fact—saying that very thing, actually, while promoting universal health care access in his state.

That he basically deflected an interviewers attempts to reconcile that hypocrisy with the non-answer that each state is different, doesn’t change the facts—and he knows it: emergency room care is NOT health care & is vastly more expensive & less effective, no matter what state you reside in.

2nd: If the Republican Platform (& most especially Paul Ryan) is infamous for any one thing this year (over all the many, many things they should be infamous for!) it is exactly for wanting the kind of mind-numbing control that allows government (via the religious right) to stand between a patient and his or her doctor!

Who is he kidding with that statement? The only thing I can come up with is: himself. He is seriously so desperate to win the election, he can convince himself to believe any of the stuff he feels he must say in the moment that he says it. There are many people like that. It’s a functional inability for retrospection. He cannot examine his own behaviors, actions, or beliefs, because it is simply too costly for him on a mental & an emotional level. The incongruities of his own mind would prove impossible to decipher & he would likely just self-destruct right in front of us… One can hope anyway…

Let’s all calm down and face the facts here. Congress has thwarted Obama’s moves to push out of the GOP led Great Recession at every turn. PRESIDENTS ARE NOT DICTATORS. We have a 3 part government, people.

Secondly, Romney is so bad, SO BAD (but better than the other GOP clowns he beat out, if you can imagine that), that Obama is clearly going to win, along with the Dems keeping the Senate. I would guess we gain more seats in the House as Tea Party folks are also on the verge of being knocked off the board, one by one.

So, the economy will turn around, and in Obama’s 2nd term. That leaves a Dem for President (easily) in 2016, along with possibly a Dem Congress.

I can’t say I share that sentiment though. I think part of the problem we have with Congress is related to money and no salary adjustment up or down will alleviate those issues. Their retirement plan is the same as any other Fed worker. If they were around before 84-87, then they’re covered under CSRS, otherwise they’re FERS just like me.

If you don’t want them to collect a huge pension, then don’t re-elect them over and over again. Here’s something interesting I found about Congress and their retirement plan.

As of October 1, 2006, 413 retired Members of Congress were receiving federal
pensions based fully or in part on their congressional service. Of this number, 290
had retired under CSRS and were receiving an average annual pension of $60,972.
A total of 123 Members had retired with service under both CSRS and FERS or with
service under FERS only. Their average annual pension was $35,952 in 2006.

To whom it may concern:

1) Israel has submarines. The Iranian Navy (such as it is) will go to the bottom if they leave port.

2) The Israeli Air Force vs. the Iranian Air Force would be similar to Towson vs. LSU.

Scout,

I think you earned it. I think Americans that paid for Medicare and SS earned it.

Mitt and your party does not. They want to end it. That should be defeated at the voting booth and I think it will be.

Seeking the truth from a liberal is like looking for chastity in a house full of prostitutes—it’s just not there.

WASHINGTON – New orders for long-lasting U.S. manufactured goods in August fell by the most in 3-1/2 years…

Josef, no – it gets old when you read the same bumper sticker absolutely fact-less lies that right wingers spew here. Very few intelligent conversations, and the ones that are are so clearly biased towards the “I watch Fox news but score the lowest on understanding reality or current events” test.

“I have no issues with Scout personally. However, his holier-than-thou attitude is something else”

Amen and agreed. As I told him, I have no doubt he earned what he is receiving.

“I don’t take drugs. I have to work for a living. Your time spent here says you don’t.”

How does a blogger know so much of another blogger’s frequency unless they are on at least as much?

You fool yourself too much. It isn’t a good way of living.

Mitt believes (as I and millions of other America voters do) that too many people (way too many) live in a culture of government dependency and they are taking money from people that have REAL needs.

Still not as embarrassing as the e-mail the head of Sun Microsystems sent out some 20 years. He thought he was sending it to his sales staff, but he entered the DL for a bunch of nuns instead. It read, “I want you to get your azzes in gear and get out there and sell, sell, sell.”

TGT,

I for one am absolutely shocked! Shocked I say that an American politician would say one thig and do another or say something at one time then change that statement to be the opposite.
Especially just to gain a political advantage or to get votes.

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies….Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt and a failure of leadership. America deserves better.”

Nope!

But if I’m willing to overlook something for one person I’m usually willing to overlook that same thing in another person.

Guess its just that fairness thing in me.

It’s his blog the rest of us are just freeloaders.

He can post whatever he wants, doesn’t mean we have to agree.

I usually don’t but there is the rare day.

He’d only find bits and pieces and a lot of it incorrect if he did go googling and binging this fellow…he’s one of the great heroes of my life! Let’s just say for starters that he was Jewish and one badass Jewboy at that…he was the first European on record to set foot on American soil and the first on record to settle down and raise a family in the Americas…ah! But the story behind the story…waaay too much to go into here, but one of my projects for retirement is to write his story in full…

No but I don’t buy a lot of the rhetoric you toss out here every day either.

I fail but I try to honor principles not parties. And vilify traits not people.
