Romney-Ryan Debate - Granite City, IL

[Democrat]

You are very misinformed about what redistribution really is if you think the way you do and if you believe anything Romney says at this point. Have you not heard the vidio tape where he said he didn't care about you or me. Do you want to be on a valture program and have the insurance companies raise their prices on you even more making it imposible to get a doctor to see you because you have medicare not to metion the costs of medications going up even more. My parents are on medicare and are struggling to pay for a supplement insurence now. I work in the health field and I know you don't want Romneys solution to medicare or even understand what Romney will do to seniors if he gets in office not to mention teachers and the american worker period. The Republicans have nothing but ill feelings toward the american worker as it is now. To them, we are all bottom feeders who are looking for a hand out. Demicrats may not have enough backbone to get things done, because they have something called compassion for others, but Republicans don't have this trate at all, and are the sort of people who when you are down they will step on your head and grind it further into the ground so you can't get back up. As for not going through congress for Lybia. Give me a brake! We would still be waiting on congress to do something. They can't get anything done. Or if they had decided to do something, it would have been the Republican answer to everything. Lets go to war!

Compassion for others - all except SENIOR CITIZENS = he thru us under the BUS with Obamacare - if you reach 70 and have a disease that is not curable then we get no more medical treatements. Obama is bankrupting SS and America. Romney said he will not touch anyone 55 or older.

[Sean]

So I guess if you happen to be 54 or younger under Romney your just screwed because him and his billionaire buddies refuse pay no more taxes. Under Romney you will have to work until 75, because as a working class citizen your not entitled to anything but taxes and death, the benefits in Romney camp only belong to ultra rich and the rest us of us should be happy with the scraps. Because some how Romney and his billionaire friends work so much harder than the rest of us working class deadbeats, teachers, police officers, steelworkers, janitors etc and dont really work to build a stronger nation, Romney feels only the rich build anything of value, which is bs, this country made it to this high level of living on the backs of the working class not from the rich. So Romney needs to pay his taxes and be happy we dont take all of his money, we earned for him.

LIAR - Romney said the age was 70 and the reason for that was more people are living longer. You are so Obama brain washed you can not think straight to get the right information. Obama is a millionaire who is only thinking of himself. He has done nothing to HELP anyone else NOT EVEN HIS OWN BROTHER - Romney has provided assistance to a lot of poor people who are down and out. Look at the donations he has made.

[Sean]

The only reason Romney donates is to avoid paying taxes on that money. It would be interesting to see were Robmoney donates that money to, the church of mormons, or something stupid like that, I guess if he ever released his tax returns we would know. But you dont care about that, you too wrap up in Obamas birth certificate senior citizen. And my point was under Romney/Paul you wont have social security after there done, it will be privatized and if you invest poorly you will work until you die. So senior citizen start looking for a job.

I had a job until 2010 and Obama took that away. I can not afford Obama - he is for Obama and not the people of America. He has lied so much and caught but the news media has been bought out as they never tell what he has done - like not furnish security for our Ambassador in Lybia and say that this was from a VIDEO when Egypt was saying - no it was planned. Obama sent Rice to tell the lies also and now as far as the Dem party goes they are just like cats in a litter box - coverning up shit.

[Sean]

So Obama took your job, and how did he do that, did you work Al quieda. Why did you not look for another job? Those entitlements you enjoy are the exact things Romney and Paul are after, so go ahead and cut your own throat but if they get in, I dont want to hear seniors like you complaining. And someone please explain how it is the president job to provide security, that is what the military, cia etc do, that is their failure if they sensed a threat and didnt react. That be like me blaming the plant manager at my job for getting some dirt in my eye, the safety glasses are their but if I dont use them properly, than that is on me. Listen I am not going to open your mind, so vote for Romney, Illinois will go to Obama. though he is not my top choice, he is ten times more likely to do a better job in the next 4 years for the working class like myself than I could ever hope Robmoney to do

[Sean]

And if Romney is a such a helping man with the poor, why does he hide money in foreign acounts and just pay his taxes. Sounds to me he should run for president of Costa Rica, since all his money is there

The same reason Reid, Pelosi and most of the Dems in Congress.

I have been looking for another job - my age is keeping me from finding a job. When the companies got news of OBAMACARE, and Obama wonderful ideas for the business (higher taxes) they let a whole lot of us got let go. We went from an office of 250 down to 50.

Look at his tax returns and see how much he gives to the poor and then look at Obama's and see how much he gives to the poor - Obama will not even help his own brother. Romney gave over a million and guess how much Obama gave.

[Sean]

You keep saying Obama would not help is brother, what is the story be that? I havent heard that, and besides who cares, I didnt elect him to help his brother. And this money Romney donated went to the poor, how sure of this are you? I am sorry you lost your job, but for all you know is Bain Captial came in and did an audit, decide to make some cuts and outsource your job. I know it sucks to lose your job, but to blame Obama really, I lost my job in 2008 and found a better one in 2010, a good union job. Guess what Bush was in office when I lost my job and Obama was in office when I got my present job but I dont blame Bush and credit Obama. In today society of globalization and greedy corporations it is the nature of the beast. If Romney has a job line up for you by all means give him your vote. Corporations like mine that pay full employee benefits look to make out better under Obama care, which happens to look alot like the medical plan Romney put in place in his home state. So it cant be that bad, but since Rush doesnt like it you shouldnt as well, I guess lol.

[Sean]

What job does Romney have for you, please answer this senior citizen and if you can I vow to change my vote to Romney. But I doubt he has one for you.

[Sean]

And Romney will only release his last two years of tax returns and a summary of the last 20, so it is hard to look as his taxes to determine what he has donated and to whom. For all we know he donated the money to his campaign.

I had a good job myself until October 2010 and after lossing my job I drew unemployment until Aug. 2011 at which time I took a job making (believe it or not)$200.00 less every two weeks than my unemployment. I didn't cry about it, I just jumped in and did what I needed to do to pay my bills. I am still working that job and barely making ends meet each month, but would rather be working than sitting on my butt at home. If you have truely lost your job, then you should be thankful that Obama went to bat for you and got you unemployment extentions as he did. Things will eventually turn around, but sometimes folks need help getting there and that doesn't make them deadbeats as Romney puts it. You will not find a Republican politician who will help when you are down like a Demacrat will.

Obama said he would help the people and that is why I brought up his brother - that information has been on the news now for about a year. His brother is living in a HUT. His brother was interview and all of this came out. The news media has been hiding a lot but if you get on the internet you can find the news. Like our Ambassador in Lybia was raped and dragged thru the streets before he died. Yoyu also did not hear up front it was terrorist - WH claimed it was from a video. How sad when Americans can not get the true news from our own country.

We were let go Dec 2010. No one wants an old person - and all the Walmart greeters jobs are taken. I did not get the last extension = MO shut it down. Romney did not call these people deadbeats - that is a DEM slang for what he said. He said 47% depend on the Government, and pay no taxes. He did not say senior citizens, military, were deadbeats which the Dems has stated he said and that is just BS. Obamacare will bankrupt America.

You know that is BS. You also know the Dems went all over his taxes like maggots - you also know Reid said he (Romney) did not pay taxes for the past 12 years. The Dems are trying every tactic they can because Obama has no record to stand on. He played rock star for the first two years when he had control of Congress and he has blamed Bush for everything and if he does not win he will blame Biden.

U peep better do ur homework before u vote for mitt romney, he will destroy the country like he did mass. Obama may be moving slow but at least he is going the right way.

If Obama moved any slower he'sd be in reverse. He has no clue as to what he's doing when it comes to running a country, he thinks its a country club.
