Promises...promises...
Edited on Mon Sep-05-11 02:07 PM by kentuck
Beware Repubs bearing gifts and promises.

Let us not forget George W Bush in 2001. He said, "It's the people's money, not the governments money" when he was handed the largest surplus in history. He went on to ruin this country with debt and wars and terrorist attacks and more taxcuts. Don't ever forget that. That is why we are where we are today. It was not the fault of Barack Obama.

But now we have these Republicans promising how they can put this country back to work. When you ask them how, they say with more taxcuts and cuts in regulations. Excuse me. We have seen that comedy before and it turned into a horror show. Michele Bachman not only promises more jobs but says she will get gasoline down to $2.00 per gallon again. She will be a true miracle worker. And we have a bridge we would like to sell you.

Mitt Romney brags that he knows how to create jobs. Seems to me he knows how to cut jobs and move them offshore but he hasn't created very many jobs. He made his fortune by cutting employees to save money and sending jobs overseas. He made a handsome profit by doing that. Now he wants to use some of that profit to build a bigger mansion out on the California coast.

Beware these carriers of false promises. They bring suffering and hardship. They are dishonest and cannot be trusted. Don't fall for it again. It will be even worse the next time.

3. Speaker Boehner
firmly stated that would be the first and topmost order of business when he became Speaker. I guess he means right after abortion and homophobia, etc. etc. etc.....Any time now it will be the very first order of business!!!

2. Romney is a corporate raider
The only jobs he's generated in the past were clean out jobs after he'd gutted businesses of the REAL jobs.

6. Romney's history on jobs will come to haunt him, at the right time.
Now is too early to deal with that. Let republicans nominate him.
