I'm not a political person who is sharp on what to say and when.
We should know when to speak up and when to shut up.
Unfortunately we don't.
It is easy to see Romney trying to stay on his platform.Granted he does not always come across as the polished one who's had 4 years to perfect their presentation to the people.He's successful.
Time has a way of changing things and people also.
Time is on the side of both men.

This election should not be about the parties as "teapublicans" but about two men running on values they try to sell the public.
The party is so integrated now,it might be called the additional American party.
We all cross lines for our friends.
Not judging either man.I hope this election takes a turn to show all of us the true candidate and why he wants to win.His hopes for all the world.
There may be a ton of write-ins as instructed to do so if we are not happy Many will not vote at all for lack of a desiarable candidate.
Sassy slams the Republicans and everybody on TOPIX because she thinks she's getting HER views across.
She's going about it all wrong.Tries to show she's up on it all.Only one subject gets boring over and over..
If I put my sign up,millions will see it by NOV,
Because of all the insults to posters,there is no way Obama gets my endorsement.
It won't be Romney yet either BUT it sure will not be Obama.
Only 4 can converse on here??She cut her friends throats who reply to her repeated posts over and over.Rubber stamp her every post.
Don't this tell you something??Get a life.
I'm undecided but no one will insult me and get my donated space for a billboard sign to support their candidate.
It will sit empty if no permit given to use it.
She's killed his main support spot here in this town.The main artery to everywhere.
I donaate to the candidate of my friends and family's choice.By slamming the other party,you do not WIN votes.You turn people off.The more she says the more you see the real McCoy.Too explosive at others.Needs to relinquish her tiarra to one good man and step out.Quit making it worse.Tired of her put downs.My family has been very wealthy here and she guesses where I came from .This is my hometown.WE paid and pay mre than you can ever count.Little check?How foolish you are.

Obama did not kill Bin Laden.He was president at the time and they had to have EXECUTIVE ORDER.He was nowhere near it but his life was in danger.
Hurried and buried at sea.No body..
The Seals deserve credit and the book is to set the record straight.He should not have wagged his own tail.
Bush didn't kill Hussein and Barack didn't kill Bin Laden. They really don't want the credit for such.Hillary should have taken credit too maybe.
She has done her job .She has been his right arm just as she wanted to be Bill's right hand helper.
He made a joke of his job, her look foolish like something wrong with her in the bedroom, and made the country look clownish to the world,laughing at us who lost face before the Nations..
Seems that ship already went down. Obama will find a little job for Bill as time is right to reward him for using his rock star image.Life of the party all right.
Would you put the register back in the hands of the one who daily helped himself to the very thing you trusted him to protect and be truthful about?
Too many married men see his actions and too many do good to be swayed or snowed again for a second helping.It isn't fair to the good men of this country who do live right,trustworthy wholesome lives.Set examples for their neighbors,and family and don't hit upon neighbor's wife or daughter.Called a wolf.She's called a Delilah..
I voted Obama,voted Clinton .Won't again.Women ruined both,different ways.
No kings in White House this time..
Also there are too many young people on pain meds,drugs,disability,no jobs,welfare,food stamps etc.
When we were all teenagers and young people we looked for jobs and how to make dollars.
Food stamps,Meth,drugs,alcohol, We could not afford. Cars,cigarettes,parties,gas,cl othes,credit cards,where does it all come from??
Romney is not 100 % wrong.He just said it wrong.
He knows we have a very dependent generation.
Obama knows ,he just had stimulus to dish out. Our country is in trouble.One man cannot straighten it out.It will take the whole country's sacrafices..Doing without for a change.Staying out of debt for a change.Cleaning up our hearts.

Well, you said it ! Too bad I don't understand it but...you certainly said it.

IF you are saying that something "Sassy" posted has kept you from endorsing Obama....well you had no intention of doing that anyway.
I THINK you are talking about a billboard is that right ? Well...let me clue ya Tennessee is going to go for Romney no matter what is on that billboard on "the main artery to everywhere".
Are we supposed to be impressed with the vast wealth of your family ? Do you have luncheon at the club with "Vet" ? Did you pay $50,000.00 to meet Mitt ? Then you would have us believe that "Sassy" has changed your vote ?? Give me a break.

You understand litle anyway on your own..Not open minded.
No,I do not belong to a country club,no my family wealth is not a factor.She imagined I was a transient and sold out brought my little remains and came to HER state she owns?? I think she needs to quit making observations from a hundred/fifty miles away.
Do not be too sure of anything.
I was not decided until I have sickened out on all the slams to the posters,the party ,the people who simply post .Everyone turns out to be an idiot.Know so little.
No ,I did not give the big money.
But I'm sure turned off to Obama thanks to your buddy.I thought you were a good poster.Still do.
It is Sunday night ,Some were stating their thoughts.My post is not for you to pick apart.Just telling you enough is enough.
She would do well to step back and let readers such as you men give youe views.We might all be listening.,readig.it is't too late until election day.
I know she is your friend but she overkills her own party.Don't be too sure Romney will carry Tennessee.People can still change minds.There can be upset.a factor. He can fall dead.Who knows what's in the futue She made a statement that the party is going to be the ruin of the state or country,telling one poster to be ready to give up electricity, his car etc.
My Lord,We're really near DOOMS day.But then some people never look for the sunny side of life.
Now,if you want to argue,don't waste your prcious time on my posts.I'm just a little transient ,remember.
Find someone who cares.Better yet,wait for her for she is in the drivers seat or wears the pants on your "channel".Goodnight sir.Keep following her,you'll go far.Not arguing with you.

Stop being so "proud" to be Americans, and dont even know WHAT THE FUCK, your so proud of.
Last week it was the Republican Senate that killed the "Veteran Jobs Bill", so how can you say Democrats don't support the families and children of our troops. It was the Democrats that put the bill on the table.

You can vote all fucking day, and if you really think it makes a difference then go amuse yourself, once you realize your vote literally means nothing, maybe you will worry about other issues at hand, way larger than the next crook in line.
Your very representatives regardless of what dumbass animal he chooses, to represent him. Is going to be completely TOLD what he can and can not do by higher level legislation.
Its enjoyable watching only the people in the illusion, they have such "control" of what really happens in your state or country.
Our own damn national bill of rights, has been broken so many times, and are continuing to be broken more and more everyday, but no one gives a shit about that or feels helpless.
But will admit, it is beyond amusing to watch people who truly believe their vote matters in ANY shape or form. The government truly gives you an imaginary line of slack in your ever so tightening leash, and its more than enough to satisfy and blind our entire nation, besides the ones woke up to the truth, that we literally have no rights and never have.
We all have baby bullshit privileges that, we confuse for rights and a "say so". Even these bullshit filled privileges are being took away slowly and slowly. Dont think so, then gladly ask someone who has been trying to warn you or just do some REAL fucking research on your own.
Only vote ANY human in this nation should be casting, is to overthrow our entire bullshit government from your local mayor, all the way up to the bullshit president position. If you even more sadly believe your "president" runs your country, thats even more steps you have to go to realize the truth.
In case any that does, do you LITERALLY believe ONE man has the ability to make rules and regulations of an entire nation, without being in a dictatorship? Or simply have the ability to make decisions on EVERY single aspect of life for the country, let alone keep a solid economy.
Also make the argument about his "staff" who helps the president(look at their qualifications). Look and see who pays their fucking payrolls. It sure as shit NOT your tax money. If it was, dont you think you would GET to pick your own laws and taxes, without being told what to do.
Thats like owning your own fucking billion dollar private company, and the employees telling you when and how YOUR going to do EVERY thing.
If they publish a, "Comprehensive Guide to Federal, State, and Local Government For Dummies" will somebody buy this Dude one?
Suggesting that he go to his Local Library and read a Civics Book would be impossible for him to do, if he won't even Google it online.
If he's really from the East TN. area, no wonder you People make such bad decisions in who you vote for...your Teachers are failing you badly in even teaching you how Gov't. works and what "powers" each and every Branch and Position has and doesn't have, in the Government.

BTW Dude, calling for the "overthrow of the Government" in this day and age of Terrorism, will get you a Knock on your door from the Feds that will make you wish you had better sense than to do something so stupid!

The people do not know enough about either man.WE need to see where all their money has gone,who is controlling charites donated to,
why charities instead of taxes to the country.
Charities can keep donated forever or pay high salaries to staff.
We need to know much more than is being put out there by all of them but probably never will.. Word "Charity" needs to be red flags on all of them.
Only 10% of MD donations go to MD.Rest goes to pay "ADMINISTRATIVE" costs.

DESKS
PHONES
HELP/Telemarketers cold calling.
RENT
ADMINISTRATOR
OFFICE LEADER /SUPPLIES

Don't believe it?go offer to be a volunteer or a cold caller.Hire on. Charity is a universal word .Covers many miscellaneous activities.

If Obama gets re-elected and particularly if we could get a Democratic-Majority Congress for even 2 years, this might accelerate and we could get this Country back on a Positive Track.
At least, this sounds like we're making a good start.

No Republican Ever;

CHRIS HAYES: ROMNEY TAPES REVEAL 'PLUTOCRACY' JUST 'WHINING' ABOUT EVERYTHING -



Megan Carpentier reports:
“'This is what plutocracy looks like,' Chris Hayes told his audience on Sunday after viewing the now-infamous Romney 47% tapes.'The first thing that jumps out is that a lot of the question [asked of Romney] are really inane.'

“'The folks in the room all but advise Romney to tour around the country reading passages from Ayn Rand novels out loud as his campaign rallies and hectoring the idiotic masses to bow before their obvious superior,' Hayes said by way of characterizing the advice Romney got from his $50,000-a-plate donors.'Romney, who is many things but not a total fool, gently explains that probably is not the best way to go about attempting to win over the Obama voters he needs to be elected,' Hayes added.

“'Almost none of the advice Romney gets during the tape is very good. Some of it is terrible,' Hayes said, but that’s not the interesting part. The interesting part, he explained, is that 'Unlike the millions of other political junkies and backseat drivers, this small coterie of folks by sole virtue of their wealth, gets to impose their invaluable insights on the actual candidate.'

“'This is the power of money, not just in politics but in society more broadly: the power to make people listen to your ideas, no matter how dumb or uninformed,' Hayes said.

"He added,'The other thing that stood out to me was just how under siege, persecuted and victimized these extremely wealthy people appear to feel,' he added.“'And what you hear from them is the same kind of whining that was the central theme of the Republican convention.”(Hayes’ response to the 'whining' was this clip - http://tinyurl.com/3spjlnb - from 'Reservoir Dogs' featuring the world’s smallest violin.)"

Republicans make a big mistake if they think exempting people over 55 from Medicare changes will keep seniors in their column. Seniors (who almost universally like Medicare) all have children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews that would be adversely affected by these changes. This tactic illustrates what those controlling the Republican party have erroniously come to believe. They are promoting a policy of "I got mine" "hurray for me" and "I don't care about anyone else". Sound familiar ? This is the "new" Republican party. "Greed is good" and "money is everything". This is NOT how average seniors think.
As the Ryan Budget proposals regarding Medicare are pointed out to seniors combined with the fact that the money saved will not go to toward balancing the budget but to yet another tax cut for the wealthy, expect more seniors to flee the Romney ticket.
This is moving the numbers in Florida and Pennsylvania which both have higher than average numbers of seniors.

I am afraid that Romney if elected will do what Ryan has been promoting and what the Republican House of Representatives voted for when they passed the Ryan Budget, a gutting of Medicare, Medicaid and changes in Social Security.
To be fair....I don't really trust Obama to hold fast against pressure for a "grand bargain" that would make these changes anyway. SO I have a choice of one pair that would definately gut these programs and one pair that MIGHT ....WONDERFUL.

Stopping The Do -Nothing Congress;

There's no denying it now -- the House is up for grabs.

Polls across the country show Democrats surging ahead or pulling even with
Republicans. Election forecasters are talking about a Democratic sweep --
the White House, the Senate, and the House.

Simply put, we're going to make big, big gains this year -- and
Republicans are panicking. According to Politico, Republican incumbents
just threw another $3.2 million to the NRCC to try to stop the Democratic
momentum.

This is our shot to take back the House and put an end to John Boehner's
wing-nut agenda. But we'll lose that shot unless we have the resources to
win.

[1]Can you chip in $10 right now to Get Out The Vote for progressives in
close races and take back the House this November?

It's not hard to see the writing on the wall:

* In New Hampshire, progressive rock stars Annie Kuster and Carol
Shea-Porter have been running ahead of Republican incumbents Charlie
Bass and Frank Guinta in almost every single poll.

* In FL-26, DFA-endorsed Joe Garcia is leading corrupt Republican Rep.
David Rivera by anywhere from seven to nine points, according to
polls.

* Even in CA-36 -- a race that Republicans never thought would be
competitive -- Dean Dozen candidate Dr. Raul Ruiz is dead-even with
longtime incumbent Republican Mary Bono Mack.

We need to keep the momentum going to win in November.[2]Please chip in
$10 right now to make it happen.

Thank you for everything you do.

-Jim

<quoted text> Republicans make a big mistake if they think exempting people over 55 from Medicare changes will keep seniors in their column. Seniors (who almost universally like Medicare) all have children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews that would be adversely affected by these changes. This tactic illustrates what those controlling the Republican party have erroniously come to believe. They are promoting a policy of "I got mine" "hurray for me" and "I don't care about anyone else". Sound familiar ? This is the "new" Republican party. "Greed is good" and "money is everything". This is NOT how average seniors think.
As the Ryan Budget proposals regarding Medicare are pointed out to seniors combined with the fact that the money saved will not go to toward balancing the budget but to yet another tax cut for the wealthy, expect more seniors to flee the Romney ticket.
This is moving the numbers in Florida and Pennsylvania which both have higher than average numbers of seniors.
I am afraid that Romney if elected will do what Ryan has been promoting and what the Republican House of Representatives voted for when they passed the Ryan Budget, a gutting of Medicare, Medicaid and changes in Social Security.
To be fair....I don't really trust Obama to hold fast against pressure for a "grand bargain" that would make these changes anyway. SO I have a choice of one pair that would definately gut these programs and one pair that MIGHT ....WONDERFUL.
I feel the same way, OT. I think that's why it's just as important that we elect Congressional Candidates that support Social Security and Medicare as it is to elect Obama.
The Teapublicans are the Party of Lost Souls and they don't understand anything but Greed nor value anything but Money and Material Goods. So, they can't be trusted to do anything for anybody , but the Wealthiest Citizens.
In my worst Nightmare, I would have never thought the United States would have gotten to this point! It's just unbelievable to me, but true nonetheless!
