30% Say U.S. Heading in Right Direction

I like how NP just completely dodged the point I made: that the question in the poll is vague enough to where any person could come up with either answer, based on their own personal interpretation. Which makes the question useless.

Anything but having a real debate, right NP?
 
those 100 bills sitting on Reid's desk whom he won't allow to come to the floor for a vote or a debate.

It doesnt have to go to the floor to debate the topic. It does no good to flood his desk with bills that have no chance of getting put on the floor. That's why they need to come together, so that they can craft a bill that he will put on the floor.
 
Romney: U.S. economy ‘getting better’ under Obama
January 23, 2012

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) appeared on “Fox News Sunday” yesterday and argued that President Obama’s policies “have actually made our economy worse.” Then he said it again. And again. All told, the House Republican repeated the claim five times in one interview (and in each instance, host Chris Wallace offered no pushback whatsoever).

For those who care about reality, Boehner’s claim isn’t true. Since the president took office, every aspect of the American economy — job creation, economic growth, manufacturing, the stock market, etc. — has improved considerably. Repeating a lie five times doesn’t make it true.

But what I find especially important about this is the extent to which Mitt Romney, the likely Republican presidential nominee, disagrees with Boehner.

Consider this remarkable exchange between Romney and conservative radio-host Laura Ingraham late last week:

INGRAHAM: You’ve also noted that there are signs of improvement on the horizon in the economy. How do you answer the president’s argument that the economy is getting better in a general election campaign if you yourself are saying it’s getting better?

ROMNEY: Well, of course it’s getting better.
The economy always gets better after a recession, there is always a recovery. […]

INGRAHAM: Isn’t it a hard argument to make if you’re saying, like, OK, he inherited this recession, he took a bunch of steps to try to turn the economy around, and now, we’re seeing more jobs, but vote against him anyway? Isn’t that a hard argument to make? Is that a stark enough contrast?

ROMNEY: Have you got a better one, Laura? It just happens to be the truth.

"Navy Pride," House Speaker John Boehner and their fellow conservatives need to spend more time trying to get their stories straight - given the Mitt Romney is already on the record in January 2012 stating the US economy was "getting better!"

Given that Mitt Romney has been heralded as the Republican business "guru", it doesn't inspire confidence when members of his own party continue to contradict him in public.

I wouldn't know it by reading your postings.

That is not what my church teaches me...........

Did you say church? Your not Mormon are you?

I just want him gone before he destroys this country...........

Fair enough, everyone is entitled to their opinion. We survived Reagan, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. If we survived these men, we can survive anything.

I wouldn't include Bush Sr in that list... At least he was smart enough to stay out of Iraq. And Reagan was only half as bad as BJ...

Maybe then Bush Sr. was the best of this trio of stooges!
