2012 U.S. Presidential Election

[Roy Karrde]

2010 left us with the Worst Congress in History. (And I capitalized that on purpose.)

I rest my case.

Really? Worse than 1998 with the Clinton Impeachment? Worse than the whole Terri Schiavo case in 2005? Worse than the 1930s with the unwillingness to aid Europe against Nazi Germany? Worse than the 1850s and 1840s when we were at the verge of war with eachother? What honestly makes this Congress so much worse than any of those?

You just quoted two of the worst examples of the GOP's poor judgment and incompetance to govern in recent history. Ironic, isn't it?

Cases like that make you not want them running things, IMOHO.

Yes and I could post many of the Democrats such as the 2008 - 2010 Congress which spent time on Obamacare and Cap and Trade as the economy burned, or how poorly the Democrats treated the Iraq war in 2006, or how Democrats ignored the warnings of the economy in 2003, but I was willing to be bipartisan.

And that is why the Republicans were voted out and essentially cleaned house between 2006 and 2010.

Look Roy, I'm willing to admit that Washington is a veritable dungheap nowadays, and that both sides have very few redeemable qualities... But you have to remember that a lot of places have it worse off than we do.

Like I tell everyone who slanders Mr. Obama by claiming he's a tyrant and a Muslim, go to Iran if you want to know what a country run by tyranical Islam is like. It never fails to shut them up.

Basically, however, I think that the Democrats are the lesser evil in this mess. Mr. Obama has his faults, but we can't replace him with someone who may well be worse.

But we can replace him with some one who may well be better. Lets be honest Romney isn't the type that would spend time on Terri Schivo, and on the other hand Romney isn't the type that would spend time on Obamacare while the economy burns. Romney has shown through his pick with Ryan that he is willing to address the two biggest issues facing our country: Out of Control Debt, The failing of Medicare. Obama has shown no willingness to address either, that alone should be enough to get Obama out of office, ignoring the fact that he was a horrible President wishing to pass a wish list of Democratic programs over fixing the economy.

So... Romney doesn't intend to cut taxes for the rich by raising them for the middle class?

Because that's the only way his plan will work... What we know about it, anyway.

Ryan said today that Romney's fiscal plan "would take too long" to explain.

Honestly, Ryan, I have nowhere to go.

Actually, I do, I have to go to work. But I'll be back tomorrow.

No Romney plan is to close tax deductions to pay for that. As Chris Christie explained to George Stephonopolis yesterday when he correctly said "Stop Lying Mr President".

It probably would, Ryan is a policy wonk, some one who spends days getting into the nuts and bolts of things. For him to go into it would take time not only explaining it, but also explaining the fiscal math behind it that he has studied for decades.
