Would you vote for a white person who did this? I wouldn't and I think they would be run right out of town if they tried it! This is just some food for thought if you're pondering your vote in November!

 

Can you imagine Santorum or Romney or Newt or Paul putting out a call for all the white brothers and sisters to vote for him because he's white and so are they?

Romney: No Greek Columns for Obama This Time Around

 

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Though the Democratic National Convention is over four months away, Mitt Romney today made a campaign stop directly across the street from the football stadium where Obama is expected to deliver his acceptance speech for the nomination, and offered a blistering assessment of the president’s first term.

 

“I want to give you some thoughts about what’s going to happen there, a bit of a preview, if you will,” Romney said. He predicted that when the president speaks here in early September, he will not reprise his acceptance speech of 2008 because he has not lived up to his promises. Although a rainstorm robbed the former Massachusetts governor of the perfect backdrop, one with the Charlotte stadium squarely behind him, he went through several points from Obama’s speech four years ago.

 

“He said you measure progress by, quote, ‘How many people can find a job that pays the mortgage.’” Romney said. “Now, what you won’t hear at that convention is that for the last 38 months, unemployment has been above 8 percent, that we’ve had 24 million Americans that are out of work, stopped looking for work, or underemployed.”

 

He ticked off a number of statistics that he says have gotten worse under Obama – declining home ownership, increased federal debt, rising costs in the Medicare and Social Security programs. “Virtually nothing the president has done, including his stimulus, which protected the government but did not encourage the private sector, virtually nothing he has done has made it more likely for people to get jobs,” Romney said.

 

In a line that got a laugh from the audience, Romney predicted that the president’s reelection committee will have to change some of the visual aspects of his second acceptance speech as well. “One thing I am convinced that you are not going to see at the Democratic Convention,” he said. “You are not going to see President Obama standing alongside Greek columns. He is not going to want to remind anybody of Greece” – a country deeply in debt.

 

“With trillion-dollar deficits each of the years he has been in office, with forecasts of huge deficits down the road, this is a president who is putting in peril our economic future,” Romney said.

Scott Walker to Mitt Romney: Pick Paul Ryan for VP

 

Scissors-32x32.png

"I grew up fifteen miles down the road from Paul Ryan. He's a great friend of mine," Walker said in an interview with THE WEEKLY STANDARD. "Despite the obvious bias on my part, I don't think there's anybody who could be a better pick--not just electorally but substantively--I don't think there' s a better pick than Paul Ryan out there."

 

And what if Romney comes to Walker, after Walker successfully fends off a recall challenge on June 5, and says he wants Walker as VP?

"I'd say, 'If you need Wisconsin, Paul Ryan would be a great pick.'"

wub.png and they both grew up about 15-20 miles from where I live. I think the reason that the Dems are attacking PR on a daily basis is that is exactly what they are afraid of. I hate to see him not at the budget spot and he has been so visible, maybe he is too open to attack. Telling the truth and doing what's right will get you attacked and recalled nowadays. Liars and crooks are in vogueangry.png Wonder how independents feel about him?

Report: Every Potential 2040 President Already Unelectable Due To Facebook

 

A troubling report finds that by 2040 every presidential candidate will be unelectable to political office due to their embarrassing Facebook posts. ohmy.png

 

Hehe, I love the Onion. My wife bought me their book "Our Dumb World" about a year ago. Plenty of politically incorrect reading (and definitely not for the kids.)

Gingrich daughter: Campaign to 'reassess' standing

Jackie Gingrich Cushman said her father's campaign is slimmer but still winning over voters who aren't yet sold on likely GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who was expected to win contests Tuesday in Delaware and four other states.

 

Gingrich has hung his comeback hopes on a strong showing in Delaware and has spent considerable time there in recent weeks. He has not won a presidential primary since finishing first in his home state of Georgia on March 6.

 

Gingrich's daughter said the campaign would re-evaluate its standing after Tuesday's vote.

 

"He talked about waiting for results and looking to see what happens and then potentially reassess," she told MSNBC on Tuesday about her father, who has been under pressure for some time to drop out of the race.

 

She hinted, as Gingrich has in recent days, that the race is fluid and that a dramatic shift could come at any time.

 

"You never know what's going to happen tomorrow," she said.

After being declared the winner in the Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York primaries, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney told supporters in Manchester, N. H. -- where he announced his presidential candidacy less than a year ago -- to gear up for the general election.

 

"After 43 primaries and caucuses, many long days and more than a few long nights, I can say with confidence -- and gratitude -- that you have given me a great honor and solemn responsibility," Romney said. "And, together, we will win on November 6th!"
