Mitt Romney
He's the American people's only way of ousting Barack Obama from a second term as American president, and Mitt Romney is on a World Tour to present himself as a World Leader in waiting......
Its not going too well, though. The sabre rattling of his advisors in saying Israel would be fully justified in launching a unilateral nuclear strike on Iran didn't go down too well, so he quickly changed his stance to saying that Israel should retain the right to defend itself. This after he insulted the United Kingdom by saying we couldn't organise a p*ss up in a brewery (or words to that effect). Oh dear! Perhaps he'd better get back to the place he knows best, among sadly ignorant people who are taken in by his ultra naive views and think his dyed hair is a plus factor. And lets all pray he doesn't get anywhere near the White House! |

Re: Mitt Romney
For some newly elected American presidents, there is a ritual of them visiting their ancestoral homeland. In Mitt's case, that would involve coming to Lancashire because his great great grandaddy Romney emigrated from the red rose county as a newly converted Mormon. I'm not exactly sure where - there seems to be some conflicting evidence - but being the thicko that Mitt is - my guess is Ossy. I wonder if he turns up the flies will still be there to greet him? What will he have to say then?

Re: Mitt Romney
Was chatting to Eric about this guy funnily enough last night on FB - he said it would be a great step backwards for American women if he gets elected and suggested taking an M out of Mormon to see what he really is!;)

In a keynote speech, he declared Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel, even though US policy holds that the city's designation is a matter for negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians. He was accused of racism after he told an audience of Jewish donors that cultural differences explained why Israel's economy was much larger than that of the Palestinians. He tried to praise the Polish trade union movement, Solidarity, for helping to topple Communist rule, but Solidarity were not having anything to do with him, given his history of attacks on trade unions in the US. During the whole tour, he only answered three questions from US reporters, prompting his Press Secretary to answer legitimate questions from the reporters with "Kiss my ass" and "Shove it" The only thing missing was his trousers falling down as he boarded the flight home, which would have been entirely in keeping with the tone of his tour. :( |

For those of you who actually have an interest in the run up to the election, and in US politics in general, keep an eye out for celebrity endorsements. We don't have such things in our politics, and I doubt you have them in yours; but in the US they carry a lot of weight. So far, Brad Pitt and his gorgeous old lady have endorsed Obama (altho' Pitt's mom has come out in support of Romney;)) Clint Eastwood has endorsed Romney ... Dirty Harry, go figure, eh:D No doubt, other celebs will clamber on one or the other bandwagon. I've no doubt that Oprah will come out for Obama; and that is a biggie ... Oprah has a large and loyal following.

Re: Mitt Romney
I have to admit that I enjoy American politics; so, I made a point of understanding it. You can have fun following the campaign. See how many scandals come out. (Read the first line of Rochester's "Ramble in St. James' Park." In fact, read the whole poem ... it's a hoot:alright:) And you can have fun figuring out how many times a candidate can fit "God" into a short speech. See all the unfaithful and divorced Congressmen praising the "Family". It's a blast ... and, like WWE, so obviously fake.
But the yanks lap it up (as long as it doesn't interfere too much with football and the World Series:rolleyes:)) However, there are several million US voters who are commited to neither party. And this is the constituency that determines who is elected Prez. What Romney needed to do when he selected his running mate was to appeal to these voters. Instead ... and it has most political commentators shaking their heads (I wonder how many have more than one head:confused:) ... he chose someone who appeals to folks who would vote for him anyway.:eek: And someone who, at the same time, will alienate the voters he needs to put him over the top. I may be wrong, but I don't see anything that can stop Obama now. Hell, not even if Michelle posed nude for "Hot Chocolate":D It will be close because, for too many yanks, Obama is still a nigg ... Oops, almost said it.;). But I don't see the swing voters supporting a ticket of far right and lunatic right. |

Reagan was a joke but still got elected.. big money makes a lot of difference in the US elections but things maybe changing.. in the past the Republicans proclaimed sense of freedom and democracy did not take into account a large section of people who did not vote..all that changed when Obama got elected.

It probably would have been a good idea for this clown Ryan to check out a few simple stats before he opened his gob. If he wishes to make a comparison of the US health care system with that of the UK, then where better to look than with his own CIA.

Look at the US figure, see where it is in the table, then check out the UK. https://www.cia.gov/library/publicat.../2102rank.html Eat chyte, Ryan. |

Re: Mitt Romney
Lets get things clear...the PFI was introduced during the John Major government and then carried on by Blair..any money owed to those private investors could be paid off now, today, at this moment.
The £20 billion in cuts to the NHS demanded by this government makes it impossible to even pay the existing debt and so we end up with increasing interest payments to the private sector.. and that suits this government just fine..whatever this lot may say they are tories and that means they must provide cash to the private sector ..always has been. |

Re: Mitt Romney
. . . WOW, views are pretty skewed over there. Obama and his cronies have increased our deficit more then ALL the other Presidents combined. In fact, name me anything positive they've done. This obamacare sounds all fine and dandy but there are so many loopholes, misconceptions, and outright errors, that 30 million Americans will not have coverage due to being dropped by their employers who merely have to pay a penalty which is cheaper then picking up the insurance tab. Poor folks who can't afford the insurance will have to pay a fine for not having coverage but they are TOO poor to pay. UGH!
And Eric, please don't play the race card. Those millions of Americans who have always disliked obama, and the millions who have become disinfranchised by his repeated failures and blunders, do so because of his failled policies NOT because he's half black! Of course you have 10s of thousands of ignorant haters who dislike his color but that is not the majority of Americans. Finally, (and I REALLY don't want to come back to Accyweb and get hated for my views. I really miss seeing whats going on with the many people who I see as friends and family over there. I'm just trying to give a view from the other side okay?:o) based on my economic status (or lack-there-of :rolleyes:), obama's reelection would benefit me much more then a Romney victory. However, I truly believe that a Republican win will be better for not just our country but for the rest of the world. Remember this all happens right in my back yard!

Most of these very liberal states are also the ones who are in the worse fiscal shape. Further proof that obama and the liberal lead Senate's policy just don't work and haven't worked since the liberal democrats took over Congress in 2007! - GRRR sorry, you have to click the thing to see the Map.

Even some leading democrats have said that obama has been running the most negative campaign in recent memory. So many of his commercials have been pulled cause they have been quickly proven to be misstatements and out right lies. As always, I welcome discussions and others views.

If we think Romney is bad, what about his absoluely appalling running mate, one "Paul Ryan"?
His speech to the Republican Party Convention was full of inaccuracies and downright lies. He attacked the President for making cuts to the Medicare healthcare programme, but did not say that his own budget plan includes the same savings. He complained that proposals by a budget commission were not adopted, but did not mention he was on the commission and opposed its report. He was also accused of misleading his audience over the timing of the closure of a GM plant in his home town of Janesville, Wisconsin, having failed to note that the plant closed under the previous administration of President George W Bush. And to confirm that he can't be trusted, he has boasted that he has run a marathon in under three hours. The fact is that his one and only marathon took over four hours. The man is a compulsive liar and a cheat, probably the ideal person to lead a party that has these sort of people attending iits convention: GOP Convention Attendees at RNC Ejected For Throwing Nuts At Black CNN Camera Operator and Saying 'This is how we feed animals'' - Speakeasy - WSJ If they get elected, God help us! |
