  4. I believe in a woman's right to choose under legal parameters so if you take abortion out of politics (and it should NOT be there at all) and you take Romney's tax returns out of the debate, what is left for Obama to complain about? Let's focus on the economy, our out of control spending, lack of jobs and debt.

  5. I don't go against A person for one or two ideas. I go for the overall character of the person. Romney is it.

  6. Reading the Republican Party platform is sobering for anyone interested in economic and social progress. Jeb Bush on Meet The Press opined that the GOP needs to "soften" it's message in order to reach out to a broader audience. But it's hard to sell a party that is anti-women when 51% of the population is women... it's hard for the average American to support a party that will guarantee tax advantages for the top 1% while cutting deductions for a shrinking middle class. The GOP touts a health care "plan" that favors cutting benefits for the young, middle class and elderly, while guaranteeing profits to a few corporations. Meanwhile, America has become more culturally diverse and more tolerant of different lifestyles, less tolerant of polarizing political shenanigans. Thirty-plus years ago the idea of starving the beast was begun by a new type of conservative. Perversely, through three Republican administrations they grew government spending to unsustainable levels while looting the treasury for their corporate pals. Now they want to finish the job. Thankfully, at least a tad more than half of the voting population disagrees with that bleak future.

  7. Saw an old Reagan speech from 1980 over the weekend.
    Yapping about job creation, energy independence and a strong military.
    Made me think of this:
    Reagan 1980-1988
    Bush 1 1988-1992
    Clinton 1992-2000
    Bush 2 2000-2008
    Out of the last 30 years the GOP has held the White House for 22 of those years and this is where it's gotten the country.
    It's clear the GOP policies do not work for the entire country only the top 5% (of which I am a member).
    Paul Ryan voted for every fiscal policy in the past 10 years that resulted in the US economy's nosedive.
    The GOP is more interested in Obama and the country failing than serving their country.

  8. In the 111th Congress, Ryan sided with a majority of his party in 93 percent of House votes in which he has participated, and sided with the overall majority vote of all House votes 95 percent of the time.[60]

    Ryan has a lifetime American Conservative Union rating of 91/100.[61] The 2011 National Journal Vote Ratings rated Paul Ryan 68.2 on the conservative scale, being more conservative than 68% of the full House, and ranked as the 150th most conservative member based on roll-call votes.[62]

    According to the Washington Post, 22 percent of the bills co-sponsored by Ryan were sponsored by Democrats, and "by this measure, he is slightly more bipartisan than the average Republican, with a figure of 19 percent."
