Good morning everyone, I enjoyed the posts from last evening. Things to consider. Choose a profession that there is a demand for or a shortage in. The normal schools have been pumping out new teachers for years, far over the demand for them. I expect they got the raises they got because McGuinty was trying to upgrade the system. The OPP are not able to get enough suitable applicants for their openings. Firefighters have pretty well all been political darlings. Now we get to the trades where there are huge shortages. I expect the reasons for this are many. A long apprenticeship, you are goint to have to actually work, you are going to have get your hands dirty and maybe best of all you will have to work for sweethearts like rw and myself. LMAO. Have a great day everyone.

Mitt is saying he doesn't care about the votes from that side because he feels (and rightly so) Why waste money on campaigning to people who will not vote for you? He doesn't say he doesn't care about THEM as Americans. Also, too bad its not in one whole but in snippits. Wonder what was said between those clips.

Incredible.
But expected.
I wondered all night what spin Mitt and his apologists would put on his words.
He just portrayed 47% of Americans as folks who don't want to work and want government to support them.
Not only is that unfortunate it is wrong.
And stupid. And the best Mitt could say was that it was "poorly edited".
Talk about deflection.
He said it. It's on tape. What's to edit?
It makes me wonder if he says stuff like that at fundraisers for believers what does he say privately?
Is this the kind of person Americans want in the White House?
Other than the Tea Partiers, red necks and millionaires?
Poor Mitt - there just aren't enough millionaires around to push him over the hump.

Half the country is dependent on the government now. They, along with all the lefty special interests and Hispanics wanting amnesty for their illegal immigrant cousins will probably ensure a second term for your man. Goodbye America, and it will happen even if Romney gets in. It can't be stopped now after Bernanke's third round of unlimited quantitative easing kicks in.

Did you expect anything other than the frenzy the left is in when told the truth point blank.
What Mitt said was absolutely the truth.
The percentage of Americans that still believe that Obama is going to give them free gas is the same as those that vote for him based on his skin colour, they remain unchanged and he would be wasting his time trying to do so.
It is the undecided that are going to make any difference.
Of course the lefties are going to equate this to "Mitt does not care", it's politics and they believe they have been thrown a bone.
Let them gnaw on it and waste time focusing on this and the people that never would have voted for Mitt in the first place.
What Mitt said is not going to affect the undecideds, they are to smart for that.

As to Mitt, this statement was a response to a question. If you are about to right a huge check to the campaign of Mr. Romney and you ask if he will spend that money on pandering to Obama's base what do you want him to say. The truth or what the public wants to hear? Or just say, I am going to do what it takes to win. Guess what Obama can say that too, so why write the check at all?
But hawk, I ask you this, how is that closure of Gitmo going? How is keeping unemployment below 8 % going? But I guess leaked video snippits are far more important that actual broken promises. Oh wait, seems like Obama said what people wanted to hear.

In light of the recent escalation of anti-american protests in muslim countries, who do you think is best suited to guide America through? Do you think this will have an impact on the election, and do you think the American public is going to react thoughtfully or not? Who do you think will best be able to take advantage of the situation politically?
I'm curious to see the answers, if there are any. I know what I think, but I spent a good hour debating with myself the other day and I can see the other side too. Back to the grind - hopefully I will be able to get back later today and have time to post my own argument... oh so little time...

I say that when the next election comes around that we remember what McGuinty hasn't done for us in the north and vote him out.
I am sure that the teachers of this province will not soon forget either and lend their voices and their votes to end the liberal tyranny in this province.

Although being a business person I lean or slant slightly to the right I take what Ronmey stated as a big insult, because I worked all my life and decided to start a business. I have used the medical system, I have used business incentives, my parents are on CPP and one is on disability for from loss of sight. I have paid taxes. Am I what Romney called the "waste"? Romney does not know how hard it is to run a business with all the BS. Sometimes I want to throw the towel in.

asIseeit, he is not saying the people are a waste, but spending money to get their votes is. He says he needs to concentrate on the middle vote to win the election, and not waste money and resources on those 47 % who have already made up their mind, and view Obama as their Sugar Daddy.

Bluesslinger, it certainly shows a close race. I can't tell from the graph if data from after Romney's latest gaffe is included in the graph. Do you know?
The onion reports that the latest republican strategy will be to wire Romney's mouth shut until December. It might work.

So, as I gather, the right wing mantra today was , " But Romney was telling the truth" ... I can't believe that you all don't get the point. Of course, he was telling the truth. The queen may have a fat behind, but you would not say that in public. When Romney before the Olympics complained in England that they weren't planned as well as the games in Atlanta, he may (or may not) have been right, but you don't say it publicly (that's for you Spelly!). When you get editorials like the Telegraph in the U.K.( a right leaning newspaper) in awe of Romney's stupidity and even the Wall Street Journal remarking that his gaffe may be good for the economy as it may relieve the fears in the markets of another Bush/Gore fiasco, you know that something is amiss.
I have a feeling that many true Republicans are secretly hoping that Romney loses, so that they can rebuild and get more in touch with the country. If Romney does get elected, it'll be a day to day worry that he'll ask someone in Saudi Arabia, why they wear funny clothes and aren't Mormons.

Al Gore did not do anything wrong, you had to have done something to do something wrong and Al Gore has never done anything....come to think of it Obama has done nothing wrong either.

So even if we stretch and accept that what Romney was saying was the truth....
...why was an explanation necessary from him and his campaign afterwards ? Why can't he come out and say "I'm sorry but I was just telling it like it is " ??
Fact is, he was speaking to a $50,000.00 / plate fundraiser and was telling THEM what they wanted to hear. What he said was not for public consumption.
It was just a dumb move on the part of Mitt and his campaign.
Blame the 'biased' media all you want, but he uttered the words and now has to lose another news cycle in order to explain himself instead of talking about the economy or Obama's shortcomings.

Of course - one neo-con self appointed spokesman said that Romney was 'right' on.
Name?
Rush.
Another said it was "stupid" and "arrogant".
Who should we believe?
How about we let the voters decide?
I hesitate to say that Romney is in a downward spiral because all the knee jerk neo-cons are groovin' on old music but ultimately Romney will lose, McGuinty will lose and Harper will choke on a patronage appointment.
There's a reason for term appointments.
To use someone's ideas - politicians and underwear should be changed frequently.
President Obama's second term is in sight.
Think of how long most leaders in a democracy last.

A nightcap from the Star:
Team Romney has accused Obama of class warfare throughout the 2012 race. But in a review of the Romney videos, the New York Times concluded the opposite was true.
Within the “safe zone” of a $50,000-a-plate private dinner, the Times editorial said, Romney “spoke with a bone-chilling cynicism and a revolting smugness.”

A nightcap from the simple truth.
Romney's recorded statement is not really a big deal and it is basically what his campaign has been saying to the American people all along... "Do you believe in a government-centered society that provides more and more benefits? Or do you believe in a free-enterprise society where people are able to pursue their dreams?"
Obama is so confident in himself that he is going to use the U.S. oil reserves, it's supposed to be kept for national emergencies only, (I suppose in Obama's mind this is one) to lower the gas prices just prior to the election.
Obama's going to need more than this recorded speech to help him win with a backfiring economy and rising unemployment.
I can't wait until the debates!!!!!
