I really wouldn't do that if I were Mittens. Because if one looks into Mittens record as a CEO, you'll find out that he was not successful at creating jobs.
"under Romney’s economic policies Massachusetts saw a net gain of only 45,800 jobs; a growth rate of 1.42 percent. Other estimates vary. For example, the Massachusetts Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development estimates job growth of 51,400 over that period. But in another analysis by Moody’s Economy.com, the number was lower: only 24,400. That placed Massachusetts 47th among all states in job creation from January 2003 to January 2007. Nonfarm seasonally adjusted jobs across the United States grew by 5.265 percent throughout the entire U.S. The Romney economy in Massachusetts significantly underperformed compared to other states in terms of job creation."
So, that's how Mittens performed in a NON-recession economy. How many jobs is he going to create when the situation is even worse than what he's used to?
Not many, I fear.

WAIT A MINUTE HERE! Immigration has something to do with this murder? That is the most insane breach of logic I have ever seen on these boards, and that's saying something.
You explain to me how illegal immigration has anything to do with this. I'll get the popcorn and a beer. It'll be a good story.

I really hate that I live in a world where stuff like this happens. It's just senseless. I want to be sad for the victims but I'm angry over the senselessness of it all.

Regarding Jimmy Hoffa's comments, there breitbart. That's called false equivalency. You throw up one example and you think that it equals the multitude of examples that can be brought forth regarding the tea party.
It doesn't really play. It's kind of amateurish.

From a guy who worships andrew breitbart, that's really funny, and more than a little ironic.

One thing that wouldn't have changed is that the republicans would have refused to work with a woman as much as they've refused to work with a black man.

sailwind,
It's not that your advocating an overthrow that makes you a radical. The fact that you are obsessed with the media and you have this perception that the media is only there to aid the left is what makes you a radical.
That and your unwillingness to come to terms with not getting your way in 2012. It was shocking and telling.

And is it not completely and utterly obvious that one of those two statements is about a guy praying to and invoking Jesus and and another putting it in a form that allows the listener to choose who their "Almighty God" is.
It couldn't be more obvious. Only a child would miss the difference in the two.
What am I dealing with here? It's not someone with above average intelligence, that's for sure.

So not only is it amateur hour. We pretty well know who's not a real Christian among us.

I hope there are many republican debates and that they are widely viewed. The American public needs to know how deep the crazy goes with these folk.
Check this sh*t out:
"It's a theory that's out there. It's got some gaps in it. In Texas we teach both Creationism and evolution." –Rick Perry
“That’s why I am only going to allow small bills – three pages,” he explained. “You’ll have time to read that one over the dinner table. What does Herman Cain, President Cain talking about in this particular bill?” -Herman Cain
**"Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." ** -Michelle Bachmann, April, 2009

breitbart,
Let me offer you some advice as well. If you are going to go after after someone's intelligence like you did with Gov. Dayton, get your post correct on the first try.
Really, who is "the blunderer" here?
This isn't amateur hour.

When I returned to the states in '08, I was amazed at how everything was advertised as being better with bacon and cheese. Everything. There was a commercial where a man actually said, and I quote, "Can a man get a bacon latte over here."
I've noticed the people on the east coast are much thinner than the people of Kentucky also.
Saw a woman in Kentucky who was so fat that she went to the all-you-can-eat buffet and couldn't go through the line. She sat at the table (using 2 chairs) and phoned her order in to her daughter who was in line for her. My kids couldn't help but stare. That's some sort of fat.

Paulinusa and Fadamor,
Glad to see you both made it through OK. New Jersey really got it. I heard of a few tornados touching down overnight, wreaking some carnage.
Be well.

I live in the affected area too. How did you get hit? We lost electricity over night and there are a few trees down but that's about it. How did you fare?
