Dream on Joe C. This President has less integrity that Richard Nixon. Just the issue in Libya with his coverup shows how he lies to all of us. His policies get our people killed. Sorry, but I am not for big government nor Socialism for our great country ever!

Really... you trust this guy when he lied to us about the terrorists and the killing of our ambassador for two weeks. I don't understand how anyone would trust this man after not just this but his cover ups and his arrogance in only enforcing laws of the land that he supports. That is real dangerous. Even if one agrees that they don't like a law that is not the way to change it. That is dictatorship. He is killing business and we will become the next Greece if he is elected again.

If we wanted a regurgitation of conservative tak radio, don't you think that we would just listen to talk radio, instead of reading your posts?

The day that you find that you can come up with original ideas out of your own head; trust me, that will be a great day for you. It feels really great. Now take it slow, but you really should try to build up to it. You are pretty obviously challenged in this area, so take baby steps at first. You don't want to hurt yourself.

Progressives aren't seeking "socialism" as you allege. They simply want a government that will protect workers and the middle class and not just give more tax cuts for millionaires. We want government regulations that protect us from greedy Wall Street bankers, from polluters like BP who spilled millions of gallons of oil in our waters, from giant agri-business who sell us dangerous foods, from polluters who dump toxins into our land and water, and from wealthy private health insurers who deny us coverage due to pre-existing conditions. We want the Republicans to admit that it was the Bush administration that started two wars in Iraq and Afganistan and then refused to pay for it causing our deficit. It was the Republican's lack of regulations on bankers and Wall Street that led to the housing meltdown. Finally, we want a government that will protect programs like Social Security and Medicare for the middle class and stop advocating additional tax cuts for the wealthy.

apparently Mr Watts can't stand the real truth and chooses to accept the stale socialistic ideas of Obama.

Joe C.,
The regulations that caused the credit bubble were created by both parties over 3 decades, so blaming it all on Bush is as reckless as people who blame it all on Obama. The BP spill was due to a quest for profits, which isn't going to change regardless of who is in office. So you can't blame any administration for that. Just the inspectors who looked the other way, instead of pressing the issue. I do not believe Bush was an inspector. Niether party is truly going to protect S.S. or Medicare, because both need serious overhauling. The Affordable Health Care in how it is written is a good start, unfortunitely both sides of the media outlet are falsely reporting on what it will do.

you are just upset Romney's going to lose...it's ok you can cry on my shoulder. He killed Osama bin Laden and digging out of 8 years of Bush right wing, elitest policies takes more than four years "Patriot". Basing your decision on the situation in Libya is a cop out and desperate. I would feel better if you said you were voting for Romney because you are rich and he would keep more money in you pocket, at least then you'd be being honest. People like you are why things can't get done in Washington and why this country is viewed so poorly by the rest of the world. Get a clue.

You're deranged, your mind (such as it is) having been addled by massive, self-induced overexposure to demented right wing propaganda. All you seem to be able to do is tick off a bunch of nonsense that you strung together from reading the scroll at the bottom of your Fake News screen. That's all you can do - parrot the crap that's put out there in order to manipulate low-information voters such as yourself with overt (although you can't even see it) appeals to your seething resentment and dissatisfaction with your own life. So yeah, keep blaming other people - The Others - for your problems. Don't take responsibility for anything, and don't read anything factual. Just keep lazily sitting there and absorbing low-brow propaganda from commercials that are put out there to manipulate you.

Disgusting.

Well you already have Obummer. He is a proven failure and will say anything to get elected. He shows no leadership but seems to support his muslim brothers. Obama is making our country economically worse and we will become Greece if he stays. I know what Obama has done and had to put up with it during his term. No way would I shoot myself in the foot again when I know it. Socialism is not something that I thought our country would ever support but I guess when people "think" something is free then they will vote for the devil. What happens if all the rich people and middle class throw up their hands and realize the government will just take anything extra you make to giver to someone else and decide they will quit too? Then where does all the support come from to continue Obama's socialistic policies?

Maybe the support comes from the fact that America will not become Socialist under any president without the legislative branch agreeing with it. So all the false fears of becoming a socialist nation in only 4 years seems like fearmongering by a pandering media and people who do not understand how our government actually works. Civics and American Government needs to be a requirement for voters apparently. I like how you believe that because there have been some cultures that have failed at Socialism then all socialistic countries are failures. Why don't you check out how the German economy is doing or would that hurt your already horrible agrument. America isn't anywhere close to being a socialist or muslim culture. Let me guess your next agrument, will how come he hasn't visited Isreal? He must be Muslim. So I guess Reagan, George H. Bush, and the 5 other presidents since the establishment of Isreal that didn't visit were also Muslim? With a population that is 76% registered Christian we are not going Muslim either. Infact our forefathers who apparently smarter than most of us now, made sure of that with our consititution. If you don't like him that is fine, but don't bring up these false agruments.

Now let me see.... who do you think our men and women in uniform are overwhelminly supporting? Have you checked the recents survey's regarding this? I will give you a clue. It is not Obama.

The military is not overwhelmingly supporting Romney. I think that what you are confusing is that the military traditionally supports Republicans over Democrats. But despite the largest efforts ever to make military voting easier than ever, you have the lowest number of absentee voter requests for active military. So what this shows is far from overwhelming support. What it shows is overwhelming apathy over the fact that the Republican field was so weak this year, that Romney was the best that they could get and enlisted military are showing that they don't care enough this year to bother voting for him.

Patriot,
As someone who deals with our service men/women daily who is making that poll and when was it held. Romney's continued use of Libya situation has upset many service members for the politicizing of it. I don't have a statistical poll, because it is what I'm hearing from them.

Notice how "Patriot" pretends he's a real "patriot" even though he never does the intellectual work to inform himself as a citizen? Thomas Jefferson would be so proud of him! Could you imagine this guy sitting around a table among a panel of educated, informed citizens who are discussing what to do, politically, in order to bring maximum benefit to the citizens of our nation? Others at the table would be discussing topics like economics, social policy, military strategy, etc., from a completely evidence-based, empirical perspective - perhaps agreeing on some points, disagreeing on others, but all the while showing evidence that they're done the intellectual work to inform themselves, form considered opinions, and discuss them like ladies and gentlemen. "Patriot" would disintegrate into a fit of apoplectic paranoia.

When they got around the table to "Patriot", he'd be screaming like a 12-year-old, calling them "Libs!!!!" and assailing them as "un-American!!!' and then perhaps chanting "USA! USA! USA!" like some kind of propaganda-addled loon.

Last refuge of a scoundrel, all right. Pathetic.

"We are already going down that road..."

I think that it is pretty clear that you do not know what Socialism is. The US has been a social democracy for generations and it is highly unlikely that you have spent a moment on Earth where it wasn't such. And there is a vast stretch between a social democracy and a country run under Socialism. Your biggest problem is that you are so dumbfoundingly ignorant on the subject, that you don't even realize how ridiculously your posts read.

Let me try to break it down for you. Have you ever had a child become enraged because they think that they are right about something and it isn't even worth your time arguing the point, because 1) they are a child and 2) whatever the issue, you know that the realities are far beyond the cognitive ability of the child, to understand? Well guess what...you are that child.

"Patriot" you are an uneducated racist who probably could not find Iraq on a map and has never served in the military. Your comments sound as if you have been brain washed. Go read a history book !

You are not a patriot. You are a woefully uninformed, intellectually lazy bully. Your mind has been addled by deranged right-wing propaganda that you choose to absorb from tv and radio commercials day in and day out, and thus you are completely incapable of discussing anything related to public policy from anything remotely resembling a reality-based perspective.

"Obama's a socialist!" Sorry, but that is simply bat-shit crazy. "Socialist" is not a synonym for "black", I'm sorry to say. You don't even know what socialism is. You've never read anything about it. You have no historical perspective, and you are incapable of providing a single example in support of your wild-eyed assertions. All you do is attack others who are far better informed than you are, inventing fictitious motives that you ascribe to them and then screeching about how much more of an "American" you are, based on your invented assertion. That's all you've got - NOTHING.

What you do can't even be called circular reasoning because there is no evidence that you employ even a rudimentary element of reason. Perhaps you never went to college or chose a substandard institution of higher learning. I know it's not easy to get a degree, but some of us had the wherewithal to do the work. How about you? You have nobody to blame but yourself.

"Socialism." Yeah, right.

USA! USA! USA!

LOL!!!

By the way, Fake Patriot, I am a veteran of the United States Marine Corps. I don't go around screeching and braying about it, either. If you knew me, you'd never know I'd served. I don't feel I have to wear it on my sleeve because my actions in having served my country speak for themselves. I also currently work for the military, and I served in Afghanistan alongside our troops. And I support President Obama for reelection. Is that OK with you? You think you can educate or inform someone like me about anything? Dream on. There is no concept in any subject area which someone like you could ever possibly elucidate for someone like me. You're not in the same league - not even close.

So don't sit there are pretend you're more of an "American" than I am, Fake Patriot. You're NOT. Every American citizen is just as American as I am, including you. The difference between you and many others, though, is that we put our money where our mouth is, and you don't. You just sit and listen to deranged right wing propaganda commercials, stew in perpetual resentment, and mindlessly attack others whom you perceive as disagreeing with your paranoid, ill-informed perspective on life.

"Patriot." Talk is cheap, dude. Even cheaper when it comes from you.

Patriot, who are you really? All of us who read this Patch have heard your weak and silly nonsense so many times from other names. Please say something original and worth reading. And, it is just too, too old and tired to refer to President Obama as "Obummer". Try reading some up to date Red state blogs for the new and trendy insults used by "you people" with right wing opinions.

I will bet that Patriot's life has been one brainwashing fear after another : The Japs are coming to take away our freedoms, the Commies are coming to take away our freedoms, the Viet Cong are coming to take away our freedoms, the Muslims are coming to take away our freedoms. Now, when he takes a breath from these fears, they are replaced by his fear of the Italians/Irish/Germans/Polish/Puerto Ricans/Blacks/Mexicans/Chinese coming to take his jobs and force him to speak another language.

And so nice of you to post this on a bunch of different blogs without stating the full context of what is going on. And how the credit bubble that is being refered to in this comment busted in 2008. Now we are cleaning up the mess.

Or the fact the challenger who is saying he should have cleaned it up in 4 years, is presenting a 10 year plan to have it cleaned up.

Again, no disputing the agruments... just this is what I beleive so it must be true. If you do not beleive me you must be a Obama supporter. Really love this lack of an agrument statement:
"So all you libs".
Ok, first, I'm an independent that isn't a liberal or a conservative. Second, I don't know what tingle you are referring to, he is a man in a position that the eletorial college elected him to. Third, if you want a intelligent debate actually give an intelligent agrument. Your agrument basically is "I beleive this to be true, I don't have any facts but it is true" then when someone gives you facts to dispute what you say this is how you follow "well all you Obama supporters beleive everything he feeds you". You talking about people following what they are feed, are you looking in the mirror? Maybe a little education on how this process works. Congress creates legislation, and the President approves or denies said legislation. There are three branches of the government that counter balance each other. The Legislative, Executive, and Judical.
As far as you the service men and women who I work with daily. How do you think they think of the Republican Congress who didn't pass a budget earlier this year and caused this to miss paychecks? They don't defend this country for the president they do so for it citizens. Its not a job you take because it pays well.

The housing bubble did start there, a fact by Patriot that is correct. You also have to remember the changes to the laws over 30 years and 4 different administrations. Both sides are to blame. Not just Barney Frank as you would like to believe.

I'm also correct in the fact 4 other administrations and congresses also manipulated the rules. Including the 2005 Congress with President Bush's signature in invigorate business. But you don't like seeing that part do you. You only like the parts that help your agruments. Both parties played a hand, but like the liberals who only blame Bush, you are a conservative who only blames Democrats. If you are quick to label, you tend to be labeling yourself.

Or the fact we are two different people. That would be pretty funny though Watts.

Maybe you ought to turn on a TV every once in a while before you say something stupid like that. Ever hear of...

Great Comment Sam :)
There is one media that might do it of course the liberals would object to it, that media would be Fox News, also possibly 60 Minutes, I do know there are many black voters who don't support Obama/Biden due to economic crises, foreign policy crises, government over spending, I have lots of great articles for black republicans that I posted in patch but liberals jumped all over me for it accused me of lying & questioning my intelligence, using the race card you know the usual tactics they are famous for but I will risk it & post it again :)

Oh I almost forgot to mention there are many black republicans who care about family values such as abortion issues & institution of marriage issues, that was a huge topic in one of the articles I read.

Have to call BS on anti-liberal. That list of people are people I see regularly on every station, except Fox. Not to say that they may not also be on Fox, except that I never watch Fox. These are all African Americans who I have seen (some regularly) speaking out against Obama. Michael Steele and Ron Christie, I believe each have daily gigs with NBC.

So just like Sam Sonite, you are speaking from a place of absolute ignorance if this is what you truly believe. What each of you are saying couldn't be more factually incorrect about media outlets not representing the opinions of African Americans supporting Romney. I could have sat here all night drawing out a list of people that I regularly see, but only stopped when the names didn't just roll off tongue.

I see a number of african americans on both sides of all the news outlets. If you haven't seen African Americans who have spoken out against Obama even in the local news I don't know what you have been watching.
