In the wake of Vice President Joe Biden's comments yesterday that the GOP wants to "put y'all back in chains," Mitt Romney went on CBS This Morning to deny he would cater to big business. "The comments of the Vice President, as I heard them, were one more example of a divisive effort to keep from talking about the real issues. Look, no one is talking about deregulating Wall Street," Romney said.
Leah Sellers, my thoughts exactly, but you said it best! Joe Biden is a champion for the working classes, middle and poor. Everyone in the bottom half of this economy knows this truth.
TAX THE RICH, unchain the workers!

That's nothing Linda. Texas wants to replace Thomas Jefferson with Thomas Aquinas in history books. Too bad he died 214 years before Columbus "discovered" America - full of thriving native cultures. People would admire Mitt more if he took up coffee and gave up compulsive lying. He is making John Lovitz look credible.

What is the ammunition in Mitt Romny's tax returns that Mitt & Ann are so afraid to show us?
What Mitt is hiding by not releasing his tax returns is obviously something so damaging to his campaign that taking the heat for not releasing them is his only option..........Ann basically admitted their is something so incriminating in his tax returns that it will give the public ammunition to attack Romney with.
Ann Romney claims Mitt has nothing to hide while Mitt is hiding his tax returns..............the fact that they keep mentioning they are in compliance with the law; logically tells me that Mitt Romney either either committed tax Fraud, lied on his taxes or teetered on the edge of breaking the law...........where is an IRS Audit when you need it? Where is Wiki-leaks when you need them?............its like listing References available on request on your Resume & then refusing to show them saying: "just take my word for it".

Linda that reminds me of my favorite line in the movie Tucker: "Its in a magazine so it must be true".........just like FOX NEWS saying they are Fair & Balanced...........LOL...........Romney must be counting on the Voter Suppression to give him any chance at all..........stealing the election by keeping people from voting is his only hope.............we say we want to make Afghanistan & Iraq into a Domocrecy as the GOP take away our freedoms of Democracy by suppressing the vote through Voter ID Laws & unequal voting times & buying the elections through Citizens United??????????????

The GOP ticket====Joke and Joke Jr.
Ryan is now denouncing Ayn Rand. Gee, what a surprise. Could it be because she said a fetus had no rights? Or that she is an avowed aetheist? Or that she collected Social Security and Medicare under her husband's last name?
Oh his new favorite philosopher now? St. Thomas Aquinas.
This is what is so scary. He took those books and read them and decided based on literature only that this woman was some kind of demi God. That's a scary thing because you can get all kind of lies published now, both in print and on the internet. My favorite hoax website is the one on the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus. It's very convincing! I use it in my classroom to teach propaganda .Totally bogus but people will believe it because, well, it must be true if it is on the internet right?
These two represent a ticket of low information, low tolerance, high dollar ignorance, the most dangerous kind of ignorance. McCain Palin was a better ticket because at least McCain had some military experience.

We had a saying when I was in the service and it fits him to a tee. He is so full of it his eyes are turning brown. This man never answered the questions he was asked as does the runny nose rnc chairman, and the holier that what ever who dreams of being president.

Romney:
Walstreet , my love
my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
and time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?
Wallstreet, I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea,
to the sea
to the open arms of the sea
lonely rivers sigh 'Wallstreet,wait for me, wait for me'
I'll be coming home wait for me
Oh Wallstreet, my love
my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
and time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me... Wallstreet....

Just another LIE from Mitt. A large % of his donations are coming from Wall Street. He must think we don't realize this or that we are stupid. Mitt has continually said that he will repeal the Dodd/Frank Bill in his first 100 days. Why else would Wall Street donate to Mitt's campaign if they did not think they were getting something for their money? Is Mitt able to tell the truth on anything?

Un-Chained Melodies of Dissonance
“Outrageous !” Say the Romney-Ryan Group. “Outrageous ! For Vice-President Joe Biden to use the metaphor of being “Chained” (regarding Wall Street’s being Un-Chained/Un-Shackled by the Romney-Ryan group to do even more Un-Regulated, Un-Ethical, short-sighted avaricious harm to the World’s Economy as a whole) in front of a crowd of avid Obama supporters this past week during a stump speech.
Why ? Many in the crowd were Black.
Outrageous ! To Speak of Chaining or Un-Chaining or EnSlaving Native American Indians and having White Europeans and the Buffalo Soldiers drive them like cattle - like Sheeple into concentration camps called Reservations.
Wonder if any of those folks had any Reservations about Reserving Reservations for those being Reserved within the Resevations ?
Outrageous ! To Speak of Chaining, Un-Chaining or EnSlaving the Irish, the Scots, the Celts, the Picts, while invading their Homelands with Roman swords and garrisons, and later on down History’s Rocky Road British guns and bayonets.
Outrageous ! To Speak of Chains or Un-Chaining or EnSlaving the Jews as they were pushed and shoved from one changing territory to another by the Assyrians, the Egyptians, the Europeans, the Russians, the Middle Easterners, etc… Only to have the Jews take up that same Cultural Shadow Self and displace the Palestinians Chaining and EnSlaving them (and themselves) to refugee camps and refugee status (Officially and un-officially).
Who can blame the Jews and Palestinians for wanting a Homeland of their own ? Now, Un-Fortunately They are All Slaves to one another’s wants and Needs. They will have to Work together to Un-Chain themselves - to Let ThemSelves Go - to Free ThemSelves from their present untenable situation of underlying Cultural Angst and creeping debilitation.
Outrageous ! To Speak of the Europeans and Arabians Chaining and Un-Chaining and EnSlaving and Un-EnSlaving Black Men, Women and Children while putting Gold (and thirty pieces of silver) in their pockets for Goods Sold.
Outrageous ! To Speak of Chaining and Un-Chaining and EnSlaving young poor and underprivileged Girls and Boys to the Sex/Drugs and Money Trade Globally.
Outrageous ! To Speak of Chaining and Un-Chaining and EnSlavement while the Global Banks, Global Corporations and Global Speculators (Wall Street and their cohorts and cronies) are tantruming and harumphing about Fair and Just Regulations stunting their Growth and Greatness just because the rest of the Planet no longer wants to be Chained and EnSlaved by Oligarchs and so-called Totally Self Serving (and Self-Absorbed) Ayn Rand Individualists full of hubris and insatiable appetites for the Life’s Blood, Flesh and Bones of Others they define as ’lesser beings’.
Outrageous ! And the Chaining and Un-Chaining and EnSlavement of Others for whatever Reason (or Un-Reasonings), and the Will to Stop this Past/Present/Future Negative and Destructive Dark Energy upon Our Beautiful blue-green gemstone of a Planet goes on-and-on-and-on…….
Un-Chain Us All from these tone deaf Chaining and EnSlaving Dissonances of helter-skelter of chaotic mayhem !
Outrageous !
Excuse me, but does anyone Re-member what the Romney-Ryan Group thought was so Outrageous ?!
