The above makes about as much sense claiming Romney is a liberal. Social studies fail.

The reason he owns it is that right wingers have been bashing him for it for years now, saying that it makes him a commie and all that crap. Now that has blown up in their faces.

The thing that pisses me off, though, is that kind of revisionist bull**** is how people get the delusional idea that there is any real difference between the two political parties when it comes to corporatism. They both suck. History proves they both suck, as long as people don't gloss over the parts of history they don't want to see (AKA engage in revisionist bull****).

Sure. Malice and ignorance are certainly both core conservative values.

The drooling idiots who labeled him a communist shouldn't have labeled him a communist.

That said, the point is that he's not a communist, and that his policy has worked, and now the drooling idiots have to face that.
 
I know this will come as a terrible shock to tea-party conservatives and ultra conservatives - hating Obama is not the driving force for most voters. They want someone who can dynamite the congressional blockade and get our government back on track. They also want to see us be less for the rich and more for the people. Most could not care less if there is a D or R or something else after the candidate's name.

No, there is a difference. Maybe not a huge one, but its pretty clear. For instance, which party supports unions and which is trying to destroy them?

I think the Unions have done a good job of alienating non-members, fosilizing their selves and petrifying their potential positives without any help.

I hear more about Unions and their disruptive behaviors than unions and their beneficial behaviors. . . they've morphed into a freak of what they use to be and are hoping that they can ride their former coattails all the way to the top without reprocussions. Obviously it's not working.

It's pretty clear that unions have been hurt by government policies instituted by Republicans.

Yale and Harvard moved to Texas ??? I didn't hear about that.

I always thought Obama reminded me more of Eddie Haskell. He's much more geeky looking than Romney.

Those are superficial differences because they represent the false dichotomy that you must either support unions in all cases or oppose them in all cases.

Getting the public to focus on false dichotomies on superficial issues like those ones are what allows both parties to be fundamentally the same while giving the appearance of opposing each other.

Superficial my ass. Republicans are busy trying to DESTROY unions, not just disagree with them on minor issues. Nobody said you have to agree all the time, you just made that up.

The dichotomies are real. Calling them false is just an excuse to either do nothing, or go off and do stupid crap like vote for Ralph Nader.

hard NOT to love the people you are bribing with your union members campaign contributions. Of course...that kind of thing really pisses of the OWS supporters...they HATE it. :roll:

Oh...I suppose those unions were once upon a time a GOOD thing...back in the 1920s. today...when union contracts are forcing businesses to shut down and move ops overseas...well...maybe not so much. But i WOULD still LOVE to see a Union actually open a factory or plant and then employ people following their same rules and guidelines. Should be a LOT of fun watching them produce and not actually just leech off others hard work and success...

And don't forget that the UAW started the downfall of GM, then benefited the most from it thanks to Obama.

Okay, this is great news for liberals.....awesome news for liberals.

I'm here to tell you that it was reported that Romney said that what he did at Bain Capital.......was no different than what Obama did for GM. :shock: It's no wonder they want Romney to win the Republican nomination.

Romney likens work at Bain Capital to Obama

WTF!!

Score 1 for the Dems. :doh

Romney also boasted his health plan did not cost tax payer revenue where in actuality it did not use state tax dollars yet was federally subsidized! I was stunned he actually said that to the camera!

The Obama HCR actually has saved billions in medicare fraud, rewarded facilities moving to electronic records, encourages people to be responsible and have health insurance. Obama's failure was not to not stay strong and keep pushing for a true free market with with competition of a public option for citizens that are self employed or not provided insurance through their employer.

Romney v. Obama ... I am voting for Obama most likely as are most I speak with practicing medicine (anecdotal I know).

The only republican that would have gotten the cerebral and majority of centrists was Huntsman.

Oh and the way Romney dismisses Paul as not a serious contender has alienated many libertarians.

The most Romney has going for him is a big war chest and the "look' of a president.

Last time I checked the UAW didn't design a bunch of cars that no one wanted to buy, or make the decision to pump out massive SUVs when people were buying small cars.

Much like you love the people who bribe Republicans with corporate money.

Let's not play this game.

There are several employee-owned companies in the U.S. that are succeeding. And many unionized ones too for that matter.

The problem isn't that our workers get paid too much - it's pretty disgusting and stupid for you to suggest that, not to mention economically unwise - rather, it's that Chinese workers get paid too little. What we need is stronger labor organizations in China, not weaker ones here. That's a race for the bottom. Where do you think consumer spending comes from?

Everyone bears fault. the union mentality needs to change as does industry. Pretending unions are these innocent babes just out to protect the interest of the working man...well...thats just plain idiotic...and downright childish if people actually still believe it. But hey...if they want to stand by those unions and preside over a mountain of unemployment and ****...well...more power to them. And more jobs for people in other countries.

Oh no...please...lets DO play the game. Where does the banker and borker cash go as well/ And you really want to believe the corporations arent donating to democrats as well as republicans? Hey...you have the RIGHT to be hypocritical and foolish by pretending to be outraged over it...you just dont have a right to not LOOK precisely how you act.

You dont own a business do you? You dont understand the economics of running a business do you? There is a 'bottom line' and that bottom line has to work for a business to stay open. You can stand there and thump your chest about high pay all you want...you look kind of silly when that stand has so many people on the unemployment line...or worse...just dropping out of sight because they no longer have even unemployment benefits.
