Listening to Romney and Mini-Me and find it remarkable GOP adopting traditional Democratic Party's

platforms and ideology. The shiny, white people are eating it all up nom-nom-nom.

Wants every American to have a good job.

Wants every American to have medical care and children should always have access to medical care.

Wants every American to have Social Security and Medicare available when they retire.

is going on?


Edited to add M$NBC looks like they're going to carry every single word of this circus. Wondering if they've given POTUS the same full coverage treatment?

Just talking and no substance. Utter baldface lies. I really don't get it. Also, you can hear the audience hollering anti-Obama hatred at every opportunity. It's going to get really interesting really soon.

Still repeating the same old lies, misquotes.

I can't believe what I'm hearing and it makes me sick.

Now he's going to make sure our schools are 2nd to none

so they pretend (or project) that Dems are going to do what they really want to do. Destroy Medicare. Create no jobs. Take away medical care, etc.

That strategy means they have to act like they're on the right side of these issues.

Whatever they say - the opposite is usually the truth.

Asking questions. Exposing his chronic hypocrisy.

Doing what an objective media is supposed to do.

"our rights come from our creator -not government" mean?? would somebody please ask what that stupid sound bite really means...

everything Romney is saying is nonsensical... "I credit the girl that does well in school, not the bus driver"?? and then in the next breath he states that we need strong schools so that kids can succeed... WTF is it Romney?

...and "we will use all our resources" is code for fuck the environment!! I despise these people

Well how's that going to work out. Last time I checked, FG employees a helluva lot of people, included in those people are Veterans.

All of this sounds like canned questions and well prepped answers.

Fake. Nothing like POTUS.
