Teabaggers can't wait to get back to "Reaganomics" and the corporate takeover of America.
Goodbye middle class, hello poverty.

RENDELL, BILL CLINTON. Both endorse Mitt Romney for President. They too are tired of the Kenyan and Soros. VOTE ROMNEY!

I'm a little tired of hearing what Obama has done wrong, perhaps Romney can talk about what he plans to do "right".

First, we must focus on the numerous failures of Obama like we did with Bush. Then we will determine whether we want to take a chance at succeeding and prospering again or just settle for more Obama.

[Responsibility]

Hey shifty, stiff, characterless RMoney go small on the negative, the harrumphing, the nattering, the whining and the hot air and go big and bold on solutions, steps to progress, forward thinking and how you can help those who want their jobs back or their jobs from being outsourced for rich millionairs.

Talk big, talk bold but America is not ready for the republicants to take our country backwards ... but good luck with it!

Since only a handful of Obama's proposals were enacted, it should be a quick conversation.

Romney won't win if he doesn't take Ron Paul as a VP

The Republican party is dead.

What we have left is the RINO party. All the so-called "conservatives" in name only have swallowed their bile and lined up one by one for their most liberal candidate.

Santorum,
Bachmann,
Cain,
Gingrich,
Rand Paul,
Cantor

The GOP is INFESTED with RINOs.

Mitt Romney Signs Taxpayer Protection Pledge

Mitt Romney Signs Taxpayer Protection Pledge
Massachusetts Governor makes written promise to eschew tax hikes

WASHINGTON, D.C.– Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, a candidate vying for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, recently signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge sponsored by Americans for Tax Reform (ATR). The Pledge commits signers to “oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rates for individuals and/or businesses … and oppose any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates."

Gov. Romney became the first major candidate to sign the Taxpayer Protection Pledge on December 31st, 2006. As Governor, Mitt Romney pressed for several major tax cuts in the difficult blue-state environment of Massachusetts.

ATR has offered the Pledge to all candidates for federal office since 1987. To date, President George W. Bush, 43 U.S. senators, and 197 members of the U.S. House of Representatives have signed the Pledge. Additionally, seven Governors and over 1,100 state legislators have signed the Pledge as well.

“In signing the Pledge, Gov. Romney firmly commits himself in writing to fiscal discipline and economic common sense,” Grover Norquist said.“Mitt Romney has told taxpayers in no uncertain terms that he plans to look out for their interests.”

“I strongly encourage every Presidential candidate to sign the Pledge,” Norquist continued.

Romney can go even bigger. He doesn't need to
prostitute himself to the Koch brothers. He has his own money.

Grover Norquist is the Republican Pope. They all have to kneel down and kiss his ring (or his a$$) before they can advance in the party. How can such a unimpressive, Himmler-looking character have such power? Must be the anti-democracy RW corporate elite that bankrolls these charlatans.

It bodes very ill for this country. We are seeing the beginnings of what the Founding Fathers risked their lives to keep away from our shores.....an hereditary aristocracy.

What has Rich Money and his 1% so-called "job creators" been doing the past 10+ years with the tax savings?

==========

A golden parachute has been defined as an agreement between a company and an employee (usually upper executive) specifying that the employee will receive certain significant benefits if employment is terminated. Most definitions specify the employment termination is as a result of a merger or takeover[1][2][3], also known as "Change-in-control benefits".[4] But more recently the term has been used to describe excessive CEO (and other executives) severance packages unrelated to change in ownership.[5] The benefits may include severance pay, cash bonuses, stock options, or other benefits.

7 Of The Most Outrageous Severance Packages In Recent Wall Street History

Tom Montag

If you ever need to negotiate an exit from your current employer and have Tom Montag's number - call him.

First he left Goldman Sachs for Merrill Lynch in May 2008. Merrill Lynch bought out his remaining Goldman compensation package for approximately $10 million.

Then, when Merrill Lynch was acquired by Bank of America in January 2009, BofA bought out all of Montag's Merrill Lynch options, vested and unvested, for a value of $29.9 million.

He stayed at BofA, where he is now co-COO.

A little background on Montag: he was once one of the largest individual taxpayers in Japan and he was the one that called that one deal that totally caused the financial crisis 'shitty.'

==========

Peter Kraus

Peter and Tom definitely talked this thing over.

Kraus joined Merrill at the same time as Montag, with a similar buyout of his Goldman compensation package.

Kraus, however, did not stay on at Bank of America and collected his $25 million severance package.

It was rumored that his split from BofA was in part related to his 'flashy' behavior, which included brandishing his bright green blackberry in meetings.

He consoled himself by buying at $36.6 million apartment and later becoming CEO of AllianceBernstein.

==========

Joe Cassano

Technically, the guy who lit the fuse at AIG did decline his severance.

But only after his CEO begged regulators to allow the failed insurer to retain Cassano as a consultant at $1 million per month and public uproar ensued.

The irony of the idea that Cassano was needed for his '20-year knowledge' of credit derivatives after that same knowledge decimated AIG is enough to land him on this list.

==========

Hank Paulson

Wait, he didn't get a severance package, right? Think again.

When he accepted President George W. Bush's nomination as Treasury Secretary, he was forced to sell his approximately $500 million dollars in Goldman shares.

Nothing wrong with that.

The real severance payment?

Because of a seldom utilized tax loophole, Paulson paid no capital gains taxes on this sale. That's right, not a single cent, saving him an estimated $200 million.

==========

Martin Sullivan

Not surprisingly, Joseph Cassano's old boss had a bit of an warped view of what constituted acceptable behavior.

When he was fired as CEO of AIG, Sullivan collected $47 million.

Later, he named as one of the 'Worst CEOs Of All Time' by Time Magazine.

==========

Stanley O'Neal

After leaving Merrill Lynch with an $8 billion write down, O'Neal left the firm with a total of $160 million.

While not technically severance pay, when Merrill claimed that the pay was for performance in previous years as CEO, questions were raised.

The assets that lead to his departure and dragged down Merrill's balance sheet to such an extent that Bank of America was called in to acquire the firm were purchased during those years when O'Neal's performance apparently merited such a massive payout.

========

Chuck Prince

While Citigroup claimed in regulatory filings that it was not technically severance pay, when Chuck 'We're Still Dancing' Prince received $29.5 million in stock options, grants and perks when he left as CEO in the wake of billions of dollars in asset write downs.

He also received approximately $13 million in cash for his performance during the same year when those write downs occured.

With a friends like hair plugs for brains Joe O'Biden, and a sellout obama, who needs the butt bull, Republicans and Tea Bagger cretins?

You're the same morons who said Bush set up a secret base in Paraguay where he'd rule the new world order. What was it, a 98,000 acre ranch with military base and all.

Please call the Paraguay army, they can't seem to find it.
