CNN: Democrats are trying to swiftboat Romney

Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sat Jul 14 17:28:45 2012

Even if they mangle the concept of swiftboating, at least they are strongly defending Romney from this Bain nonsense. I may have to unblock them:

What part of this is real don't you get? He signed 13Ds. Not being completely straightforward about that act,dismissing it as some variety of formality isn't going to absolve him of felony perjury, should evidence appear that he did NOT actively manage Bain during that time.

This isn't swiftboating. Swiftboating requires the quick transmission of lies. We don't quite know what we have here, but we do have something. It's sitting in the offices of the SEC.

Excellent ad, Of course:

we're now over 3 years without a budget,
We're now over 40 consecutive months of 8+% unemployment.
5 million people have been unemployed more than 2 years
When obama took office 1 in 24 were on food stamps. Today its 1 in 7
Workplaces are getting safer but those on disability has increased from 2 million to 8 million.

Obviously obama has been proven not to be the solution either

Well there are several ways to look at the food stamp thing. Either they are making it easier for more people to get food stamps to build their base of support OR things have really gotten much worse in 3+ years. This can't be all Bush's fault.

I meant that it has been a priority to actively recruit new people to apply and receive food stamps. Lots of money spent on advertising. And yes I do cynically think that it's to both increase dependency on the government and the Democrat voting base.

If people need them, I think that they are great but if food stamp use has grown 3 times in under 4 years either there is massive abuse or things are far worse in obamaland than we realize.

See my other post. It's not the ad. It bothers me that the program was grown in the way that it was. Don't get me wrong, I want people to get help when they need it, but people already know when they can't afford to eat. All the radio ads telling people that they might qualify even if they think that they don't. That stuff.

What also bothers me is the 4X growth in the disabled. Workplaces, thanks to OSHA & the Dept. of Labor and industry safety initiatives are far safer that they were just 10 years ago. So why the jump in the disability rolls. Last month 85,000 new disabled vs 80,000 new jobs created. There is something wrong.

99.9% of America is decided on what party to vote for. It's just a matter of who gets their side to come out.

Will Romney's off-shore accounts and being CEO of Bain Capitalism be enough to get people to come out and vote for Obama? Probably not.

The VA provides medical treatment. They don't help with living expenses. Many have permanent brain damage. They're not employable and probably will never be.

He has plenty to spend,not needing to finance costly primaries. Willard's technically broke.Both have plenty for the general campaign, but cannot spend it now, so he has to depend on outside groups, uncoordinated, to provide response (remember what he said about "only losers respond"....well.....this brought about those embarrassing 5 network interviews)



which they clearly are not doing. Instead they are harping on the state of the economy, which many see as improving, showing that even they are out of touch.

Actually, whites receive, across the board, more federal entitlements (including food stamps) than black people, period.
