Romney-Ryan Debate - Fort Scott, KS

I watched Mr. Ryan lst night on TV. What a hippocrit. The problems he was blaming on President Obama were caused by the Republicans. Also, anyone connected with Brownback in any way shape or form is tainted for life, and morally and ethically adulterated.

I’d like to point out that Democrats were in control of the both the House and the Senate for the last two years of President Bush’s term. That in those two years, America endured sky rocketing oil prices, the onset of the failure of the housing market, the plummeting of both property values and stocks, and the beginnings of the banking crisis. Now I am not saying that the Democrats in control of the Congress were to blame for this, I am just pointing out the simple inescapable fact that the problems really didn’t escalate until after they gained control of the House and Senate. If George Bush is truly to blame, and not Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, then his timing was seriously advantageous to the Democrats as everything seemingly fell apart after the Democrats took power just prior to the 2008 Presidential election. The timing of these fortuitous events would indicate that Bush, a lame duck president at the time, managed to over come the handicap of his lame duck presidency just in the nick of time to tank the economy thus helping the Democrats win and win big in 2008. If Obama wants to blame Bush for anything, he should blame him for helping him and the Democrats to win a super majority. A majority that was in power and failed to stop, and in fact one could argue; caused the worsening of this current economic and geopolitical crisis.
It would seem, if you subscribe to President Obama’s theory that Bush is to blame for everything, that Bush has spent the last three years imposing job choking regulations down the throats of American businesses thus creating an atmosphere of uncertainty within American business. He has overseen the loss of billions of U.S. tax dollars to failed green energy companies, taken control of the banking industry, and a car company. Gleefully seen the passed into law of Obama Care, Stimulus, and an omnibus spending bill while not having a budget, opposing spending limits, actively supporting the raising of the national debt limit, and spending trillions of dollars that we don’t have. Let us not forget Quantitative Easing (QE) One, Two, and soon Three, which has driven down the value of our dollar making everything from food to fuel far more expensive. Oh wait, George Bush hasn’t been our President for the last three years, so perhaps President Obama should reconsider who is really to blame.
I’d argue that President Obama is not cleaning up George Bush’s mess, but rather that he is merely dealing with his own convoluted liberal polices and the problems that he, his administration, and the previous Congress, a Democratic Super Majority, created. George Bush is not to blame and Obama, as President, should be a leader and take responsibility for his own messes and admit as much. However, as he has already shown, he won’t. He’d rather just keep on blaming Bush. I therefore postulate that Obama’s 2012 campaign slogan won’t be hope and change, but rather "Blame It On Bush.

I guess we can put the Hammer down as Mormon vote LOL

So I have a Billionaire Mormon, who wont release his tax forms, that selects a VP who will do away with Medicare for everyone under 55. Great-----

He did release his tax information. He released only a couple of years worth which is customary just like Obama did. The democrats want Romney to release 10 years of tax returns which NO CANDIDATE has ever done, or been asked to do, and Obama would not do it either. The reason the democrats asked is because it is so absurd of a request they knew he would say no, then they could try to make an issue out of it. Romney should have said he will do it if Obama releases his real birth certificate and college information.

because the current democrats are idiots.

I hate narrow minded redneck Replicans......and this county is full of them!!!!!

If that were true then speerchucker wouldn't have ever been elected.

Clint Eastwood reminds me of Ronald Reagan, LOL

Barack and Michelle Obama along with Joe and Jill Biden have released 12 years of their tax returns. So your NO CANDIDATE has ever done comment is WRONG.
They are sitting right here - http://www.barackobama.com/tax-returns/

We want to see Romney's because he has possibly done some illegal tax evasion practices. Consider it a background check.

Obama released his birth certificate, certified by the state of Hawaii. Not sure why this is even a discussion point anymore.

Put down the crack pipe.

There you go - http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files...

If you have a problem with it, go investigate it in Hawaii, the state that certified it. Go ahead and figure out their certification process and then where it failed. I am sure you are more qualified and skilled than the intelligence organizations that did the same thing.

Never smoked crack, so no pipe to put down. I would advise you to take off your foil hat though.

I love crack, and Mormons

This is about what kind of America we will be moving forward. The America we all have know and enjoyed or something that would more resemble a European nation more on the socialist side. I for one want us to remain the United States of America
One Nation Under God! A country where opportunities are available for anyone that will work for them.

FACT; Obama is not a Muslim, he is a Christian FACT; Romney is not a Christian, he is a Mormon.

I think it would be nice if both candidates freely released their records. Obama can waive the HIPAA requirements and release his education, medical and Selective Service records. Romney can release additional tax records. Seriously, it is becoming obvious that both men have something they want to hide.
