I don't know what to think of you. You refuse to even divulge which state you are from. You are that paranoid. And then I sit back and think why you would support Romney, who similar to you, refuses to state what his stand on issues are. Very secretive, you and Romney. You are a single track issue person. You have stated several times that do not like Obama because of a singular issue:Bernanke. To let such a frivolous issue decide your vote is shocking to me. Folks missed something very important that Obama said yesterday: He called out the truth in that those American jobs lost are never coming back. As he put it they are low paying jobs and hence not the ones he would want Americans to do. Romney on the other hand was not talking about jobs. He was talking about how he would try to get capital back. He was way off. And lastly, please stop the rhetoric that numbers are being cooked. Many folks on this thread do not like to hear that. Doubting the work of our career officials and cheer leading the capitalists who continue to loot and plunder for their personal gains is not kosher on this thread. Yet another piece of news that portend well for this country but not for Romney. Message 28478967

I think your view of Romney is delusional. He is an elitist without a conscience. He is a guy in days past who would have had slaves and thought nothing about it. He is a bad guy and you cannot seem to see it. He is also as dumb as a post. He knows nothing about foreign policy as he doesn't study that sort of thing. Too busy making moiney and running his family and church. All he needs to know. Obama hit him hard form the start last night and kept him on his heels all night because Obama knows 10 times as much as Romney and is a good guy. Romney could see he could not fight with Obama intellectually and I was waiting for the "no mas" mo,ent. Are you forgetting he bullied that gay kid to the ground and cut his hair because it was long, it enraged him. He is a bully and a terrible asshole. He said he would support the blunt amendment and protested the Viet Nam protesters but sure as hell would not fight in it. He is also a coward. And why are none of his 5 boys in the military? I don't think it is 100% certain he will go to war with Iran. Those are your words and your thinking. I think it is probably 90% because Netanyahu and the neo cons want it and it gives work to the military industrial complex. Romney made his millions in a cut throat way. The same way many made millions selling real estate. Just because someone makes a lot of money screwing people over in business does not make them fit to be president. You can't seem to flee your right wing mental cage. And the door is wide open, yet you stay in it and make up stories like the rest of the right wing. Romney would be a terrible boss because he is a terrible human being. I think your statements are extreme. Is Romney more likely to go to war with Iran than Obama? Yes, I believe that. But is there a 100% certainty Romney will go to war with Iran? No, despite your statements that indicate that. The fact is that Romney has been a leader in business and government for a very long time. He has been very successful in both. He has shown himself to be an intelligent, thoughtful, moderate person, despite being dragged to the right in his statements so he could clinch the GOP nomination...and don't forget that Obama was dragged to the left to clinch the Dem nomination, but he's moderate in many ways IMHO. I don't see any indication that Romney is crazy, has cowboy tendencies like Bush Jr, or would take irrational steps. Romney is someone who would look at all the angles and choose the one where the benefits outweigh the costs. Right now, Iran is suffering under economically crippling sanctions. Those sanctions are working and that gives either Obama or Romney enormous negotiating power. The likelihood is high that Romney will use that advantage to extract as much as we can from Iran towards the goal of halting their progress towards a nuclear bomb. The likelihood is high that we will not go to war with Iran. But the Dems are getting all hysterical over the thought that we might. It's a bit much. Calm down.
