Re: 2012 Presidential Election (free for all edition)
This says it all, straight from Obama:
Obama to business owners: 'You didn't build that' | Fox News To this I say BS. The gov't doesn't put in 50+ hour (many put in 60-70 hours) workweeks. The gov't didn't give me travel vouchers for my family to be with me when it was necessary to be on the road for work. The gov't doesn't study for you to make strong academic achievement. The gov't doesn't come up with inventive or more productive ideas (sometimes defense R & D has made breakthoughs....but Obama and the Ds are ready to hammer defense spending). The gov't doesn't guarantee investment risks (unless its Solyndra or another Obama bundler). The gov't certainly has never bailed me out of anything. All the while folks who have worked and sacrificed for their own success are mandated to pay an even higher percentage of taxes???? I paid a hell of alot more for those roads than most, is there a special HTP (Highly Taxed Person) lane so I don't need to sit in traffic? BTW most roads are funded either by state funds or the FHWA which is funded primarily from gasoline taxes. As far as education goes that comment is complete BS as only 6% of education funding comes from the feds and it comes with a lot more strings than it's worth. The internet was originally a comm system funded by DOD between universities.....the mass expansion was funded by private investments and I pay monthly for my internet service. I wish Obama and the Dems would just change their party name to Democratic Socialist Party and be who they really are.

Re: 2012 Presidential Election (free for all edition)
Hit the link for the 35 questions
35 Questions Mitt Romney Must Answer About Bain Capital Before The Issue Can Go Away - Forbes Unfortunately for the Romney Campaign, the slew of TV interviews did little to satisfy the media. In times of crisis, a strong candidate will come up with answers that satisfy the basic questions surrounding the controversy and will make people want to move on to another subject. Romney, however, could not seem to come up with basic messages that resolved the controversies. Many of his answers seemed evasive or overly legalistic. The biggest problem for Romney is that all of his interviews have only increased the questions that political observers, voters and the media have regarding the subject of Bain Capital. Specifically, Romney is going to have to answer the following 35 questions before this issue subsides:

All these questions have been answered in the WaPo link and FD's Politifact link. The Dems in MA tried the lame Bain attacks when Romney was vetted for Gov. Shall we revisit Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers, etc.

Since FD & I have answered questions (quite effectively), how about someone answer a question for me: - What exactly was Obama's role in approving the Solyndra loan when their financial model was $hit and they had a failed IPO? $ 535M in TAXPAYER money stolen from the American people by Obama and his cronies. While you guys are trying to tie Romney to Bain (private corporation) to say he outsourced some jobs, you're OK with Obama funneling hundreds of millions to crooks that steal taxpayer money and cost over 1000 jobs. Solyndra e-mails show Obama fundraiser discussed effort to win White House help - The Washington Post Obama Fundraiser Pushed Solyndra Deal From Inside - ABC News and Solyndra is just the tip of the iceberg: Forget Bain — Obama’s public-equity record is the real scandal - The Washington Post from the above link: All that cronyism and corruption is catching up with the administration. According to Politico, “The Energy Department’s inspector general has launched more than 100 criminal investigations” related to the department’s green-energy programs. Answers? and so NC Skins, 12th, and saden can't complain about "partisan" links....the links are from left-leaning media outlets.
