It should very clear to most of America that the Main Street media want to see President Obama re-elected. It should also be clear to most in America that when the Federal Reserve chairman doesn’t see the job market getting better until 2015, then he must have a pretty good idea that our economy is in deep trouble. We keep being told that our economy is getting better and that it will take four more years to get things turned around. This is no longer a political issue, it is a survival issue. You can spin this any way you want. We have to decide who can do a better job getting our country out of the mess we are in and I mean fast. We can’t afford to take four more years to figure out we made a mistake and have to put our money, or should I say our future, on the wrong person.

There's a lot of sturm und drang these days about who wrecked the economy. And there is a lot of yelling about how to fix it. But the economy is complicated, so it's easy to get fooled by someone who is yelling persuasively, especially if they play for your favorite political team. And the truth is that the "government" is never going to fix our economy. The government can't fix our economy. The only people who can fix our economy are us http://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-fix-the-economy-in-one-simple-chart-2012-8

What's going on? America is INSANE. Insanity, craziness or madness is a spectrum of behaviors characterized by certain abnormal mental or behavioral patterns. Patterns is the key word here. For over 100 years, America has been electing Democrat or Republican presidents expecting change. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different outcomes is a trait of insanity. Why is America insane? The Owners of the US (credit to the late George Carlin) have engineered society by the mass media. Newspapers, radio & TV - all the channels and radio you can receive are owned by a FOR PROFIT corporation. The rabbit whole is deep...but you don't have to go down it and have your friends think you're a terrorist or conspiracy theorist. So how what's the remedy? * Vote. But do not vote for a REP or DEM. If anyone tells you that you are wasting your vote, that is a lie and you should explain to that person that what they are doing is extremely unpatriotic. * Turn off your TV. Seriously. Do your own reading and research. The owners are having a very difficult time hiding the truth in today's information technology world we live in. Yes - technology has replaced some jobs, but it has created many also and, more importantly, it has ENABLED the common citizen to communicate better (like this). You should vote with complete confidence in your choice, NOT the lessor of two evils!!!
".Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that" George Carlin RIP
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqW-Fv1eLCU Repubs are fools that have spent years trying to ignore what W did and blame Obama for everything, it's childish arrogance at it's worse. Joe apparently sits around placating himself while looking for something to blame on Obama, while being blind to the real issues. As far as this goes BOA sucks because BOA is not BOA suckers, it's FLEET, FLEET used to be known for the SHARK FINS and terrible scams on people, they bought BOA and changed their name to BOA to reinvent themselves. Trouble is they did not reinvent themselves, when you put lipstick on a pig IT'S STILL A PIG. This issue has little to do with Obama and much to do with Repubs and Wall St and the rhetoric from Tea.
I have been saying it for 8 years since the ENRON Loophole was discovered, most of you are too arrogant to learn, I've tried but after years of reading right wing wackiness I'm afraid you are much too deep in your psychosis to learn. Both parties suck, both are controlled by the corporates and this is the cause of all of our issues, the rest is just BS to keep you fighting amongst yourselves http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=5274961n&tag=contentBody;storyMediaBox You all say the same thing on every topic, blah blah blah, whether Obama or Robme wins will not matter if CFMA of 2000 is still law.
Those rules were based on history, screw me once, get a new regulation, that's what regulations are for, protecting us. Let's just keep going in circles instead of forward, fools.
Rick Santorum: 'Smart People' Will Never Be On Our Side http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/15/rick-santorum-smart-peopl_n_1886684.html
"Presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Thursday said Republicans should give President Barack Obama another term if Santorum isn’t the GOP nominee and for a second day compared rival Mitt Romney to an Etch A Sketch toy Romney, who made no public appearances Thursday, issued a statement expressing disappointment “that Rick Santorum would rather have Barack Obama as president than a Republican" http://washington.cbslocal.com/2012/03/22/santorum-might-as-well-have-obama-over-romney/
Republicans Are Abandoning Romney’s Sinking Ship In a bit of political satire in Politico, Paul Ryan is now calling Mitt Romney “The Stench”, as in stench of defeat, and Team Romney refers to Paul Ryan as “Gilligan”. While it may be just humor, it has the air of hitting pretty close to the mark. Ryan and Romney don’t look too comfortable with each other these days. Where is the bromance we saw in August? Apparently the bloom is off that rose http://washington.cbslocal.com/2012/09/26/republicans-are-abandoning-romneys-sinking-ship/

Remember, it’s only a handout when it benefits someone else. If it benefits you then you’ve obviously “earned it”.

Let's not forget that, for two years, Obama and the Democrats had control of both the House and the Senate. Or, is that inconvenient to your theory?
How about stopping the early release program that the liberal democrats including my opponent passed in the dead of night without holding a single public hearing? While I favor something other than incarceration for first time none violent offenders specially kids, I believe those convicted of crimes such as murder, rape, child molestation, etc. should serve every day of their sentence. How about we repeal the largest tax increase in CT history? On the other hand, repealing the tax on clothing and shoes under $50.00? How about we collaborate with small businesses and work for smart regulatory reform? Maybe we can also merge all the resources of the eight plus small business loans available and stream line the application process. While we are at it, we can stop picking winners and looser and instead of “targeting” certain business make, it available to all businesses and the best will qualify.
The only way to stop this is to limit government by choking off it's, now literally UNLIMITED (QEForever) budget and therefore it's power and influence to do harm. And, the worth thing is we look to MORE taxation to 'fix' things??? Austerity my arse! This logic is absolutely INSANE! It' s like giving an alcoholic an unlimited credit card for the pub down the street and expecting him to quit... It just ain't gonna happen anytime soon and worse, IT'S OUR OWN FAULT! Why should we pony up another red cent to the criminals after they've just run out the door with the jewels, the tv and all our furniture? But, that's what it seems we want to do.
The only way out of this mess is to give them less to work with. We need to give them LESS, not more to steal from us. Of course, this requires changing our view of what government is supposed to do back to what was intended. We must limit government (federal) to protection our unalienable rights to life, liberty and property and every thing else must be gutted. If you want a dept. of education (and God knows only why?) then do it the local level so it is escapable. Individuals can move away from a town or state like Calif., CT, or Mass that are mini experiments in modern Marxism/Fascism. We can no longer trust politicians. That experiment has failed time and time again. Let's realize that unless we address their access to unlimited borrowing and taxes nothing has any real reason to change.
Who cares what Malvi ran for? Who cares if she was/is a republican? If you disagree with what she says then why don't you address what she said???
I agree, but I just take things much farther. The problem is that the politicians have unlimited access to borrowing and spending and this makes them very corruptible. Until we give them less access to this kind (Trillions) of money, they will always be corrupt - how can they not? I agree that they shouldn't be involved in all those things you mention. I agree that they've gone too far with regulations. But, until we come back to the idea that government exists to protect our freedom, not encroach on it (or regulate and tax it away) things can never change. There are too many people on the government teat (whether they be senior citizens on medicare, farmers, unwed mothers, section 8'rs, too big to fail banks and corporations, Medicaid, SSI, social security, military contractors, daycare providers, school lunches, etc) now. The vested interest is too great for almost any politician to resist pandering too. We need a paradigm shift in this country and we need it fast. Limit government to just a few boring things like national defense (from FOREIGN invasion) and maybe the patching the roads and spraying the lines and clear everything else off the table.
Both parties are two heads of the same snake and serve the same masters. Ain't that what George Carlin always said? He was right. As I said elsewhere, Romney and Obama hold the same position on all the major issues like; Patriot Act, NDAA, NSA, TSA, deficit spending and national debt (Ryan's plan has almost the exact projected debt as Obama's spending), warmongering and foreign adventurism and finally, Romney/ObamaCare. Don't forget it was Romney who first unleashed it on Mass and now says that he has NO INTENTION of repealing it's major issues like the pre-existing conditions and until your 27 year old Baby Huey under your parents coverage.
