Mutt Romputz's destruction of Massachusetts finances:

" Even as the rest of the country was enjoying a brightening economy, during Romney's term Massachusetts plummeted to 47th out of 50 states in job creation; manufacturing jobs declined at twice the national average; and for the first time since 1995, its unemployment rate was above the national average.

Long-term debt ballooned by more than $2.6 billion -- leaving the people of Massachusetts with the highest per capita debt of any state in the nation. State spending increased every single year, and Romney raised taxes and fees by $750 million per year -- leading to a higher state and local tax burden of $1,200 for every Bay Stater. Over his term, fees at public colleges skyrocketed by 63 percent, and during his first year, K-12 schools saw the second-largest percentage cuts, per student, in the nation.

All that in just four years.

Mitt Romney promised more jobs, less debt, and smaller government for Massachusetts based solely on his experience as a corporate buyout specialist. Turns out that being good at maximizing profits for yourself and your investors, but leaving companies bankrupt and workers without jobs, doesn't exactly prepare you to lead a state -- or a country.

Yet Romney's out there making the same empty promises all over again. And we've got to make sure no one buys it this time.

The bottom line? Romney Economics didn't work for Massachusetts then, and it won't work for America now."

Mutt Romputz = liar and incompetent.

Massachusetts was in pretty sad shape when Romney became governor. He did in part reverse the state's decaying financial condition.

It is not noted by Democrats that Bain sunk a lot of money in GST and kept the company going for several years before calling it quits in 2001.

You must be out of your mind if you think Republicans will rule over others! Your statement says it all about the Replusivecans mindset. Need I remind you that this country is a democracy and not a one party nation. Need I also remind you that your party is not the majority party but a minority party that does not speak to or for the majority of people in this nation. You people are fascits, there is no reasoning nor compromising with you. You want to rule and dictate and that's not ever going to happen!

Your statement is un-American and goes directly against our constitution. Perhaps mindsets like yours and those who think like you would be better served in Russia or China (a place you're so fond of) but most certainly not in the US.

With the Democrat Party's best efforts since 1970, attempting to trash the Constitution in 2000, the imposition of drugs on an unsuspecting nation, the slow imposition of various immoralities on the country, Kruschev's banging promise for Communism to take over the United States from within has failed again. From its inception, the Democrat Party has shown some fundamental weaknesses... from abandoning Native Americans under President Jackson to abandoning humanity with their imposition of abortion in a suicidal effort to force Marxist economics on a free people. Now, they have embraced and encouraged extremely marginal sexual deviance in a foolish attempt to further undermine a once moral nation. They have become destructive to economy, morality and character.

Therefore, the best advice is for the Democrats to assert their first principles with control given back to its conservative roots. The elitist manipulators incapable of understanding this should spend the rest of their destructive lives staying out of politics.

When it comes to economics most Americans are ignoramuses.

Anyway, Obama did another blame Congress routine yesterday. When the Democrats block his bills, it's Congress's fault, when it's Republicans that block a bill, it's the Republicans fault. Maybe it's time Obama stop this garbage and call out Harry Reid (D-NV) who has prevented several bills from going to the Senate floor for a debate or vote.

Mutt Romputz's approval rating in Massachusetts: 34%.
Mutt Romputz's job creation record: 47th in the country.

Yeah, yeah, yeah this is the incompetent lout that we want for POTUS! Jesus Christ Almighty Mutt is incompetent at governance.

Tell Republicons to stop trying to kill the recovery just so they can win elections.

My statement to you is based in FACT, not emotion. The only emotion displayed in my post is outrage that you would dare to suggest that only the Republican Party have a say in the governing of this nation. Only an arrogant tyrant would make such a statement.

Furthermore, I would hardly call the Republican Party a party of intellectuals. Need I remind you of the gaffes made by your presidential candidates, i.e. Santorum, Cain, Palin (vice) and company? Hardly intellectuals.

Tell your party of spiteful b@stards, obstinate and obstructionists jack-azzes to get off their racist, bi-partisan behinds and do what they were elected to do and that's serve the will of the people by addressing the people's needs for jobs, healthcare and other issues. We're not going back to the 50s and that's final! Perhaps it's time for those like you with prehistoric thinking to step aside and stop impeding progress.

look the bills that make it through to the senate floor are hacked to death by the republicans in the house so much that they barely resemble the original bills. That's why they never get through the senate.

He will never admit that. He's in denial about the intentions of his party. He agrees with their obstructionist behavior and wants to cloud the issues with baseless rehtoric.

I have read a lot of your posts and from them I perceive a superior and god-like attitude. You make statements as if from on high. No matter the race of people you're addressing or subject, you always excuse the behavior, crimes and intentions of the white male in an arrogant manner. From your position, everything is excusable, rational and explainable. Others are ignorant and inferior. You only agree with those who look up to whites as superior and ideal. Only you can explain and justify the bombing of Hiroshima and put it in the correct light. Only you can explain about immigration and the character of those immigrants. Only you know what's best for Blacks and how they should perceive issues. Only you and those who think like you know what's best for this nation and how to go about it. Why aren't you running for president with your God-like personality?

It isn't about "feeling" or emotions. It's about addressing statements you make in your posts. I didn't imagine nor dream up the comments you've made. I take what you state and address it without getting angry or holding a grudge. You on the other hand, get angry about comments that run contrary to your opinions and that is my main point. You know for a fact how I feel about you and that's why you made the statement you did.

Republicons are thrilled that their war on the middle class is causing a delay in the recovery. Republicons would be really thrilled if the middle class died completely.

Mutt Romputz's wealth fetish depends on his being able to tax the hell out of the middle class and poor while making millionaires and billionaires taxfree.

That's his platform. He pays only 15% income tax on $20M of income. Do you?

Daily Horoscope for June 19

Taurus

If you're a typical Taurean you enjoy a steady routine, but this is one of those days when you really benefit from living in a more spontaneous way. So forget about your usual schedule and try to ring the changes. Even some small departures from your usual routine will make a big difference to your mood, so don't imagine that it has to be all or nothing.
