Romney VS Obama: The Megathread

[Kohlastan]

I don't recall Romney ever being a "good steward". I just recall him being a gigantic douche who I would like to punch.

To be fair, Romney also has executive experience by being governor of Massachusetts. However, there is the point of how Romney refuses to comment at all on his term as governor.

Romney has disowned his experience. Realistically, that's what he SHOULD be running on - but it's an embarrassment to him if he's running as a 'fatally conservative' (or whatever cute phrase that was, I can't remember. I like mine, though) candidate.

Still, only one of them has Presidential experience.

Severely Conservative, it also probably doesn't help that he was kind of a failure at being governor.

Severe. That's it. I remembered it was something that you normally use to describe horrible road traffic accidents and injuries.

A subtle hint about his future presidency?

[Maurepas]

Ah isnt it beatiful? Dont go halfway down the leftist/rightist hall, go all the way down in support.

What it looks like compared to everyone else's...

Who took the trouble to do all of that?

I just saw Obama2016 movie last night so here is what I saw if Obama is reelected

The Nuclear weapons will drop to 0 in America

A third world with a evil USA

The dept higher to 16 trillion way then his first term

His father Obama Senior influence him

That's what I saw.

That's what they want you to see. They don't want you to see a reformed health insurance system with costs coming down and coverage extended. They don't want you to see the budget controlled. They don't want you to see the US regaining the international respect that was thrown away by the previous administration. It's pure propaganda.

well yes but its hard work till November

Like 99% of the crap the GOP says.

Oh lord, here comes the self-righteous anti-partisan "declarer of propaganda" people...

[Gauthier]

False Equivalency is a helluva drug!

[New Chalcedon]

Oh Mitt, are you trying to lose? Dissing the troops? Really?

[Gauthier]

Oh Mitt, are you trying to lose? Dissing the troops? Really?

It's an expose on his mindset. He'd treat the military no different than any business he bought under Bain.

It was an awesome movie. Brilliantly and masterfully put together. I think he is a genius.

And I came to that conclusion by throwing away Obama's entire first administration and instead focusing on one word from the title of one of his books. We vet Presidents before they become President. Just like we interview people for a job before they have the job. After someone gets the job, we look at their job performance, not their background. Why is the Presidency any different?

This process has somehow been flipped on its head by Republicans. We're supposed to vet Obama, by looking at the behavior of his cousins, or people he was linked to, or his parents, or something someone he knew once said, but we're not actually supposed to look at the policies he supported (particularly not those he supported and Republicans didn't or those that he and Romney and/or Ryan and/or every Republican in Congress supported). And we're not supposed to look at Romney as if he is a NEW candidate to the job and actually interview him. Nope, when you apply for a job, apparently, you don't get interviewed. Instead you only try to prove that the job should be available, i.e., suggest that Obama does not deserve another term.

the weird thing is that they have decided that we didnt vet mr obama the first time around (if we had we never would have voted for him) so they want to do it now as if the hadnt been president for 4 years already.

its stupid because we dont VET the president. we vet candidates so we can make our best judgement of what he would do if he gets the job. we know what president obama will do with the job. we already like it or hate it or land somewhere in the middle. thats why no one really gave a shit when it was rubbed in our faces that george w bush was derelict in his national guard duties. we already either loved him or hated him as president. what he had done in the past was irrelevant by then.

mr romney needs to be vetted because we dont know what he would do as president. HE doesnt know what he would do as president.

if he were a real massachusettsian he would have said he was "wicked conservative".

[Ashmoria]

Oh Mitt, are you trying to lose? Dissing the troops? Really?

that comment should lose him the election.

you talk about what is important. what was important was how much money "the military" was getting. not the troops.

Too close to home.

Same reason he didn't describe himself as 'mad conservative'.

Even worse, he-who-shall-not-be-named will return and seize power again, and only the Boy Who Lived can stop him.

And Sauron will rise again with his army of darkness...oh wait that is Romney, sorry about that

I SEE YOU

Oh Shit! I have enraged Romney! Run for your lives!

And his response to our attempts to vet him, "Fuck you, I don't work for you."

Seriously, if Obama had declared that he shouldn't have to tell the American people what he's going to do as President and that he would only show his tax returns to the people who were actually offering him a job (like McCain) we would have seen Fox News burst into a million pieces.

There is partisan and there is just refusing to hold anyone to any kind of a standard. At some point, it's our fault as a people that we allow an organization like Fox "News" to call themselves a news organization. It's embarrassing.

I think Fox News is either immune to, or (more likely) uncaring of, the double standard involved. After all, there are now Fox talking heads who are calling on Obama to release his college transcripts...whilst blithely ignoring Mr. Romney's refusal to release more than 1 year's tax return.

in the end the american public will decide if they are willing to elect a man who is so secretive.

if they do, god help us all, eh?
