Do you disagree with Romney's quote? MannyGoldstein Apr 2012 #1
Has it ever been any other way? Seems like a no-brainer remark; babylonsister Apr 2012 #2
I agree with the quote but it's laughable if you think Mitt Romney actually gives a shit. Liberal_Stalwart71 Apr 2012 #8

Romney imposing even more austerity on the 99% than Obama isn't the answer. But the quote is right on.

not quite the uplifting remark one usually hears from candidates. And perhaps people are tired because rethugs continue to vote again our best interests. But if you'd like to defend him, go right ahead.

Many inside the beltway pundits act this way, like Daddy is scolding them and they better watch out.

In the real world we are all adults, all equal before the law, no one is afraid of a right winger like the kids in the dc village.

Grow up.

Reagan may have been an ignorant asshole with a failing mind. But many folks think that trash-talk line won him the election.

President Barack Obama’s fiscal year 2013 budget proposal includes a new $8-billion Community to Career fund to forge partnerships between community colleges and businesses to provide training for workers.


“Americans are tired of being tired,” Joe Biden said. “It’s clear that the American people have decided it’s time to get up. They’re tired of being told that we’re in a long, slow drift.”

double shifts and taking care of kids and elderly parents who have no other choice. But your wife loves that, doesn't she.

I'm sick of him. I'm sick of his wife. I'm sick of Marco Rubio and all the other VP wannabes. It's going to be a loooooooong summer.
