Major Hogwash

Please, just wait until you see the ads that will come from tonight's debate.

Showing Romney lying tonight about his "20%, across-the-board tax cuts for everyone", his sudden new-found "love" for education, his completely insane voucher system for Medicare, and his totally off-of-the-wall claims that everything that has gone wrong is President Obama's fault, and only his fault.

Of course, the federal government doesn't work that way, the President has to work with Congress to get things done.

The United States did not begin when President Obama took office in the White House.
Bush left this country in a hole so deep, we all knew it was going to take time to climb out of it.
Romney acted like President Obama drove the economy into the ground, even blaming him tonight for food prices going up.


Yet, the Farm Bill was left untouched last month by Speaker Boehner in the House of Representatives.
They didn't debate it, they didn't vote on it in the House of Representatives.
Speaker Boehner purposely "kicked the can down the road" until after the election, because he knows that high food prices hurt consumers, who are voters, and the GOP can point their bony fingers at President Obama and say, "It's your fault the price of peas is high!"

Yet, the farmers in this country needed that bill passed last month.
But, the Republicans don't care about farmers.
They are only intent on trying to blame President Obama for everything that is wrong in this country.

Forget the fact that the Republicans have obstructed President Obama for the last 2 years.
Or that they have yet to pass a Jobs Bill in the House.
They just want to be able to say that President Obama didn't create as many jobs as he should have.

But, it is the American people that have suffered for the political goals of the Republican party.

Romney's lies tonight during the debate were not very well-thought out.
Because we already knows he doesn't care about the middle class in this country.
We already have him on tape saying that he doesn't care about 47% of the American people.

And, I hate to bring this up, but Romney still hasn't released his income tax returns.

What Presidential candidate has ever run for office with millions of dollars stashed away in secret Swiss bank accounts, or in the Cayman Islands?

One.

Just Mitt Romney.
