Please Lord - in the famous words of his messiah, Reagan, I hope he didn't tell Netanyahoo - "Tear down that wall"

“Mitt Romney! God will make you president because you came to Israel!” one man shouted.

Well, that is awkward. What will Willard's God say about that? Will the Israeli and Mormon Gods join forces in heaven above to beat up Obama's god. And now that Romney and his God support the Jews and their God in nuking Iran, does that mean the Muslim God will join forces with the 'other' Christian God to fend off the Jewish/Mormon God forces. It's all mind-bending, I tell ya. And here, all this time, I thought us little people and our votes counted. Guess not - it's all up to the Gods above.

What a phoney. The more I see of this guy the easier it is to make a decision come election day.

Does it really matter whose pockets are being picked by our politicians? Both Obama and Romney have picked the pockets of many for millions, that’s what politicians do…. ALL OF THEM!

Any word on how many dead Jew's Bishop Willard baptised today?

Entangling alliances do us no good. Follow the golden rule with everyone and this world may become a better place someday.

Was he wearing his magic underwear?

RedDev, that quote is unbelievable. Sheer lunancy.

Any word on how many dead Jew's Bishop Willard baptised today?

Live converts are much more prized over dead converts. Tis no wonder Netanyahoo turned down Romney's offer to visit the Dead Sea .. one little <<wink, wink>> 'Romney misstep' tripping Bibi and kerplunk .. Romney nets him a live one.

Can you say GRANDSTANDING? What a fake this guy is! Who cares about his trip to Israel and why would he be there anyway during the campaign? All he is trying to do is sway the American Jews to vote for him!

OBAMA 2012!!

I wonder why Romney is grinning in that photo...

If I were at the Whaling Wall and saw Romney I would start crying as well!

RedDev, that quote is unbelievable. Sheer lunancy.

Tis what you get when you intermingle religion and politics. Sadly, this country used to be one of the few bastions in the world where this ideology of separation was proudly practiced. The neo-cons and religious right have turned us into middle-east type statehoods, where separation lines are blurred, where God vs. Man rules, and by God we better obey the religion of the week lest suffer the punishment of the week.

If I were at the Whaling Wall

Ok .. that is funny .. I have visions of Jonah aka thoroughly Modern Mitt, surviving 3 days in the belly of a whale.

Mittens picked a fight with the Brits and now is approving of violence between Israel and Iran. WWIII? Cheney must be jumping up and down with joy. I read up on that spy Pollard. Regarding letting him go? Hell no. No way. No how. Israel must really be kidding if they think they have any leg to stand on with that one. They still owe us a spy they are protecting in connection with Pollard. I'm in favor of helping them stay safe as long as they remain reasonable. When they get puffed up with national pride, I say ignore them until they learn humility again. I suspect that is what my president is doing and I am happy with that tactic. That is what you do with a misbehaving child.

AnaBanana, while at the same time the Olympics are going on. This is unforgivable on Romney's part. The timing couldn't possibly be worse.

Yes, this makes Mitt Romney soooooo Presidential........... (sarcasm)

http://www.buzzfeed.com/jpmoore/first-lady-michelle-obama-hugs-the-entire-us-mens

Wow, you have to see this! The entire US basketball team walked over to First Lady Michelle after the game and she gave each of them a hug.

What a special moment. Wow. Class Act our First Lady.

After Mitt removed his hand from the wall, several Rabbi's rushed to that spot and scrubbed it down.

Mitt 'n' Benny take it on the road to Iran! Let's pack them some sandwiches and clean underwear.

What a POS. Never missing an opportunity for a picture to please whatever crowd he is trying to appease. Since when the Muslims "respect" that much the Jews. It is all a show, and he could really not care less, except for the fact that he will do ANYTHING JUST TO GET A VOTE.

If the GOP wants some decent wailing they should have brought Boehner along.

Forrest Grump, now why didn't we all think of that?! LoL. Too funny.

Pat,

The link to First Lady Michelle hugging the US basketball team after the game -

is a sight for sore eyes.

Just great.

Wonder if the Israelis realize Nutt Romney believes that some of a lost tribe of Israel ended up in America as native Americans. Loopy loopy loopy.

This is strange considering Mitt Romney as child used to wear NAZI uniforms given to him by George Romney a devout NAZI supporter and member of the KKK. Mitt Romney said he wore the uniforms to scare Jews and Blacks into giving him their money. I guess that's why the LDS, Mormon church Baptisted Adolf Hitler, Eva Braun and Alois Hiedler or Heidler (Hitler) the father of Adolf Hitler in their Jordan Temple in Utah.

I still find it quite amusing that, during the republican debates, only Huntsman and Paul were against torturing of prisoners. water boarding etc.

Mitt Romney, a good christian in favor of torture!

Wouldn't it be nice if we could prey away Obama's massive , unstoppable , record high , out of control , credit downgrading , almost $16 trillion , Greece like debt and deficit away .... "LOL"

A Mormon praying at the most religious place on earth?! I wonder what the Mormon Charch and the apostles think about that? Joseph Smith just rolled over in his grave.

I know Backhouse, wasn't that a beautiful moment? She is such a warm lady. I just love her.

I hear Mitt went to a Mexican restaurant in Israel, a place called Mexico Shmexico.

Maybe he was preying for those living in poverty here in America since we now have a 47 year high in the poverty rate under Obama .... "LOL"

Thank goodness his handlers dress him! If not, he would have been appearing in a red, white, and blue "Uncle Sam" suit with the hat and everthing!

Romney at the wall thinking, " My hat at home that I wear is much better than this one, mine has a propeller!"

I know what was written on that little note he stuffed into the wall...

----

Hi, God! It's me, Mitt. I'm from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I would like to talk with you about Jesus....

Im Elder Romney, and I approve this message.

Willard Mitt Romney (aka Wall Street Wille) He LIES about everything. He doesn't think anyone will investigate his LIES! Mitt Romney FLIP-FLOP, FLIP-FLOP, FLIP-FLOP, LIAR and strategic deceiver!

fuzzy, now that is a picture in my head that I can't remove. Oh man, hilarious.

I suppose every state has that one guy who walks around as Uncle Sam, but damn doesn't it look like the same guy every time no matter where he shows up?

starsailing, mine has a propeller! I can't stop laughing. haha

You mean you were thinking your propellered hat was much cooler than Romney's! JANUARY 20, 13 THE END OF AN ERROR! And it aint Bush's fault,Sailor!

Very funny Derek. Mitt Rominy, the new GOP neo-con. Think he is considering shrub or Cheney for VP?

Say bigben we were doing mighty fine under Clinton, he handed Bush a surplus, for the first time in many years the US government was solvent. Did Bush use that surplus to pay down the debt? Did he use it to fund SS. Did he use it to pay for Medicare part D. Did he use it to pay for his wars. No he used it as a justification of a tax cut and mailed it all away in the form of rebates. We were losing 500,000 jobs a month under bush, our financial system crashed under Bush. I lost $480,000 thousand of my retirement fund under Bush, gained it all back and then some inside of 20 months after Obama took over, and although not at a rate we would rather enjoy, jobs have not been lost under Obama jobs have increased every quarter. You act like all these things happened the moment Obama was inaugurated and when in fact he has done nothing but improve the situation left to him by republicans in office for the previous 8 years, including the capture of the man Bush started two wars over but then "did not think about him much because he had not heard much from him lately". Man up bigbenalaska we did not get to where we are in 3 and a half years, and Obama has improved the situation not made it worse, hope you can still LOL when faced with the facts.

Forrest,

up in Alaska, bigben has probably been drinking water that is polluted from oil spills or mining chemicals. So, quit trying to explain to him about economics, and how these things work.

Fuzzy44, evidently it is so cold where bigben is that reality gets frozen in a moments time.

@Fuzzy44

The truth goes to small ben's world and dies a terrible, horrible death. He's just a troll that hasn't stepped over the line yet. He will, they always do.

This is strange considering Mitt Romney as child used to wear NAZI uniforms given to him by George Romney a devout NAZI supporter and member of the KKK.

Hey jazzy. As much as I can't stand Romney and what he stands for, I think you're a bit out of bounds on this. Gov. George Romney was a lot of things, but a devout Nazi and member of the KKK isn't one of them. I grew up in Michigan when he was serving as governor, and though not a friend of labor, he did some good things and was quite popular. His son is another story, but to make accusations like that isn't right unless you're being sarcastic. If that's the case, disregard what i've said.

RedDevPS

Mormons are not recognized as Christians by Christians faiths. Mormons are a cult all by themselves. Mormons are the ancestors of the fictitous 13 tribe of Israelites that settled in America and are called the American Indians that DNA tests show is un true. There are so many things made up by the Mormons to cover up or give them credibility. From Navvoo to the Mountian Meadow Massacre. That is why Mitt is the way he is, full of @!$%#!!!

Well he certainly played into the saddest day narrative. I'd consider it my saddest day if I had to watch Mitt pander......

Only remaining wall huh? Damn, Romans, they didn't get the job done!

Willard standing there with hand on wall and looking down...seems like he's thinking..I wonder if I can leak here..nada to many looking.

Romney is a Mormon but he is proud of America, not apologies needed. Obama a converted Christian with a Muslim faith , stand with the antisemites and the enemies of Israel. The only country that prove be our ally in the Middle East. Obama is waisting millions of dollars supporting the Muslim Brotherhood the get later a kick in the @$$

Ok there, Red VA....we understand....(everyone, just back away....some one call his mama, she'll know what to do...)......

You need a vacation. But don't go near Bachman land, whatever you have will only get worse.

Mitt Romney's face is a urinal target in my bathroom stool.

Did Obama go to Israel in the past four years? Oh wait, he didn't.

Jdmbo3 - we have loads of good allies Israel's size or larger that neither Obama nor Romney haven't and won't ever visit, so who cares if Obama hasn't been there. You know as well as Romney does that politicians act like they give a damn about Israel because it gets them a good voting bloc in places like Florida.

If its any other reason we are idiots. Quite honestly, we spend too much time on our knees blowing Israel anyway for the amount of useless trouble supporting them causes us. No "friend" should be that demanding and that much trouble

Give the knucklehead a little more time and he'll have Israel and Iran at war. How long after that will it be that we will have to participate as well?

Just like the rest of the cons and RWNJ's they cherish few things more than money, war and a separation of classes.

Feisty is right. America is not enough. Now he is seeking to extract the money from other countries and their people. Maybe he's already set up more bank accounts in other countries he visits as he hides more of his assets.

Romney is due to deliver a speech on the importance of the American-Israeli alliance from Jerusalem, where he will be introduced by the city's mayor.

Romney can only hope this mayoral speech will go a tad better than the speech in the last foreign city he visited.

nomo, not only is Romney handing off our jobs and his money overseas. He's now handing off our foreign policy overseas.

The neocons are bad unethical war mongering monsters.

Wow. The more Mitten and company open their mouths, the more trouble they create for America and any form of prudent foreign policy.

If Mitty could go to Iran, what do you want to bet he would pander to them too?

Mittens: all lies all the time, NO understanding of the global politics, and dangerous to America.

newdayDAWNING, this has been a foreign trip tour for the ages. MittWitt is getting bad headlines across the entire world. His pandering to Netanyahu and Adelson and the neocons is pathetic.

He does little in order to hold America up has a true democracy. Meanwhile, Michelle Obama is being greeted with such warmth at the Olympics. She is who we want representing our country, not Mitt.

He's too busy representing the neocons, while Michelle showers our US athletes with hugs and support. Mitt is too busy showering Netanyahu with the same. The war mongers. At such a time no less, while the Olympics are going on.

Shame. Shame. Shame.

The neocons are bad unethical war mongering monsters.

I couldn't agree more Pat. Everyone should wonder why they devote so much time and energy to their war efforts.

The next question should be if this is what people want to support with their vote in November.

Pat, nomoresameo:

I can't recall a Presidential candidate mucking things up this badly on a foreign tour ever.

What Mittens has done is make it far more evident that he is clueless about the responsibilities of the President to maintain a safe foreign policy, without pandering to the extremists in the world.

But, what can we expect? Mittens is constantly pandering to the worst of the worst in America.

Romney kicked the press out of his fund raising breakfast this morning.

Adelson will probably give another 5 million or so............

I wonder what Romney says when the press isn't around.

largely pushed by President Barack Obama — have failed to stop that country's nuclear program.

That is a lie Pat. The only truth is that President Obama has not given the Jews a total green light to go ahead and invade Iran, expecting us to go along, doing the war for them. They have been acting like bullies at some point or another.

Of course, Mitt Romney will promise the full cooperation of the military. After all, he and his 5 sons have absolutely NO IDEA of what it is to serve in the military. Typical GOP politician: Trigger happy, as long as there are OTHERS that die. The only thing that would stop the GOP from sending us into another unprovoked war is the drafting.

IRespond, Romney's sons fight in a war?! Come on. Aristocrats don't fight in wars. They start them, but they don't fight them.

I agree with you, bring back the draft, absolutely.

One of our bosses, he's about 75 years old, recently went to Israel to visit his Israeli daughters and he told me the people he spoke to in Israel are not at all happy with Netanyahu; that he is too much of a war monger and that the Palestinians are being treated with much cruelty.

They told him that Israel on the whole evidently isn't too afraid of an Iranian strike because they keep seeing higher & higher skyscrapers being built in Israel. He then shrugged, smiled and walked away.

Maybe he prayed to save American's from falling off of Obama's upcoming fiscal cliff .... "LOL"

If the idiot gets elected, and then gets us in a war with Iran, you can bet your life that he will never recieve a folded flag taken of of a coffin.

Sorry, but President Chainberlin Obama's policy is more likely to cause a war. That's what history says and that trumps the twisted thinking of academics.

PatinBoston: You could not be more correct. Romney has the exact same failed advisers as W. Bush had and they are all whispering the exact same lies in his ear so they can continue their wars against any and all Arab Nations. Both Bush and Romney are liars but at least W. Bush (and his daddy) wasn't a crook like Romney. ROMNEY IS A CROOK. No two ways around it.

W shifted the Mid-East balance of power to Iran. Now Mitt the bully wants to nuke Iran which is supported by Russia and China. So who does he think will fill the power vacuum if he is successful? How will Russia react. Russia's former Soviet Union shares a 1,200 mile border with Iran.

Dmitry Rogozin, who recently was the Russian ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, warned against an attack on Iran.

“Iran is our neighbor,” Rogozin said. “If Iran is involved in any military action, it’s a direct threat to our security.” Rogozin now is the deputy Russian prime minister and is regarded as anti-Western. He oversees Russia’s defense sector.

Russian Defense Ministry sources say that the Russian military doesn’t believe that Israel has sufficient military assets to defeat Iranian defenses and further believes that U.S. military action will be necessary. Pakalert Press 4/10/2012

Russia may welcome an attack on Iran from Israel since it would give Putin the cover to re-establish the Soviet Union by occupying the breakaway states.

We deserve to know his full plan now that he backs Israel's dragging us into confrontation with Russia if he wants to be elected CIC. His Bush era military advisers did not have a post invasion plan. We should expect more from Mitt

Several top Romney donors were also seen at the wall, escorted by aides.

I'm shocked! No, not really. This is and was about money just like everything else he does. Nothing comes from the heart because he doesn't have one.

@ dbakorn...

Troll Alert!

everybody drink!

G9 look up boehemian grove and skull & bones u see what the BUSHS are about supported HILTER also so what does that tell you

Is Romney pandering for the Jewish vote? lol u betcha. It has been reported that Romney shouted to netenyahoo, "tear this wall down mr. prime minister". I guess for a moment he thought he was Reagan lol

"A contingent of Romney donors have traveled here for a Monday fundraiser at a Jerusalem hotel."
Gee, another fundraiser, just like in Great Britain.
I guess the "Listen and Learn" tour would more aptly have been named "Pander and Profit."

"Today, the regime in Iran is five years closer to developing nuclear weapons capability,"

Bush always said that tough sanctions were the only alternative to a military strike, but Obama said "No, I can talk them out of nukes".

A few years later, Obama realizes that Bush was right all along - ONCE AGAIN.

I guess that Nobel Peace Prize Obama got for giving a speech went to his head.

Romney will continue the same policy from previous Republican Administration, Obama follow the same policy than Carter. Obama is an antisemite that demand Israel return to his 1976 borders and withdrew his support to Israel , but close to the election got a meeting with the PM of Israel in the WH flip-flop, and show his public support to Israel, to get the votes from the Jewish.

Mitt thinks they can vote here,Sorry stupid they already know your game

Coates on slavery and conservatism:

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about why I’m not a conservative, mostly because I’ve been thinking so much about slavery and Reconstruction. It seems, to my mind, to be an authentic conservative in the 1850s is to perhaps recognize slavery as evil, but oppose doing anything about it that might upset the planters. It seems, to my mind, to be an authentic conservative in the 1960s would be to recognize that segregation was also evil, but resolve to nothing about it which might upset its supporters.

If you are the slave, that essentially conservative approach will always privilege your master over you. Conservatism, with its belief in institutions, traditions, and the past, will seemingly always privilege (perhaps inadvertently) the powerful over the powerless. Institutions, traditions and the past belong to those with power. Privileging them, privileges their agents.

Whew! Just read this story and was relieved to find Mitt & Sons didn't climb the wall to see who would come in first. International incident averted. Thank goodness his handlers thought to leash the whole pack beforehand.

Ol Mitt is gettin hisself into DEEP Trouble, it is VASTLY ILLEGAL to accept foreign money for Presidential, or any electoral, campaign, and where do they think they money in Israel is coming from, it may be in dollars, but it is ISRAELI money and thus a major election NO NO...Poor idiot Mitt, not only did he take the Swiss Amnesty, which thus makes him ineligible to run, but This travesty>>> Come On , at least pretend to be intelligent while overseas instead of proving just how unintelligent and display the total lack of credible diplomacy skills.

Being part Jewish it almost mead me physically ill to see this creep even touching the Wall. He is a hypocrite and a sycophant and the more time that passes and I see that creepy smile the more I dislike him.

B. Honest

VASTLY ILLEGAL to accept foreign money for Presidential, or any electoral, campaign

Clinton did something worst. Be Honest.

Clinton took money from China. Clinton also gave U.S. military secrets to China. That action put the U.S. at risk for a nuclear missile attack from China. Two foreigners pled guilty but for some reason they didn't go to jail. Also, China secretly helped fund Bill Clinton's legal defense.

Well, let's see where this Obamanation is today......Hmmm, I see Feisty's been collapsed.....again.....nothing new there...... Uh-huh....the Left still with the "Mittens' rhetoric, because that's all they've got.....

Oh well, let's see who else has something that's actually intelligent to say.....my expectations are never very high in this forum.... (can ya really blame me?)

Texson - Feeling a sense of accomplishment that Feisty was collapsed? Kind of three year oldish don't you think, bully boy. I prefer "Mittsiah" personally. Your vacuous drivel is boring and the use of .......makes you seem unintelligent.

Where did you come up with this nonsense?

Jensee3 - I am actually surprised that the Jewish people are not more pissed at Mitt as a Mormon, 1. Mormons are known to baptize Jewish people after they are dead. 2. Mormons claim some lineage to the tribes of Israel. Both obvious borderline insane beliefs/behaviour.

Jews are smart enough to understand that such beliefs do not always translated down to the members. They themselves have historically had issues from time to time following what their rabbi's teach too.

.Obama the promise BREAKER!! Equals a LIAR!!! BIG EMBARRASSMENT to the USA!!!

Obama’s promise that his healthcare proposals would “never be purchased with [a] tax increase on middle-class families.” The SUPREME COURT & JUSTICE DEPT say it is a TAX!!! .Attack on the middle Class! Taxation by misrepresentation

…….…NOW Obama wants to invade Syria and Iran!!!

..mr. American businessman..YOU DID NOT MAKE THAT!! It was stolen from the back of the worker---PURE MARXISM!!

Remember these?
THE OBAMA CHRONICLES:
“I promise 100% transparency in my administration.”.
“I promise NO NEW TAXES on a family making less than $250K a year.”.
“I will allow 5 days of public comment before I sign any bills.”.
“I will remove earmarks from PORK projects before I sign any bill.”.
“I will end Income Tax for seniors making less than $50K a year.”.
"I will bring ALL of our troops home within ONE year."
“I’ll put the Health Care negotiations on CSPAN so everyone can see who is at the table!”.
“I’ll have no lobbyists in my administration."
"I'll close Guantanamo."
"I'll resign if I don't cut the deficit in half by the end of four years."
"I'll unite the people of this great country."

“The TROOPS will be home for CHRISTMAS.” WHY ARE MORE LEAVING EVERYDAY???? AND DYING every day…

NOW Obama invokes Executive Privilege( as a Sen. called it’s use a RUSE!) for Holder on GUN SMUGGLING and killing US Agent Brain Terry!!! That only applies if Obama was part of it!! Obama & Holder should be on trial for giving Machine Guns to the Mexican Drug cartels!!
BETTER KNOWN AS LIES.
Fool me once shame on YOU!
Fool me twice shame on ME!

The Campaign promises of George W. Bush

Promise: "There are 43 million uninsured Americans – 4 million more than when the current administration took office. George W. Bush will reverse this trend by making health insurance affordable for hard-working, low-income families."

Reality: In the first two years Bush was in office, the number of uninsured American increased by nearly four million. Since Bush took office, health insurance premiums have risen by an average rate of 12.5 percent per year
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Promise:"To provide energy assistance to low-income Households and Address Short-Term Supply Threats, Governor Bush will expand the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) by seeking the release of $155 million, and directing a portion of oil and gas royalty payments to the program, costing $1 billion over ten years."

Reality: Bush's first budget, for the 2002 fiscal year, cut LIHEAP funding by $300 million as compared with the previous year, despite higher unemployment and a colder winter.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Promise: "To restore confidence in government, [George W. Bush] will...attack pork-barrel spending."

Reality: Not one single veto. Where's the Veto W?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Promise: "By far the vast majority of my tax cuts go to the bottom end of the spectrum." [Source: George W. Bush, 2/15/00]

Reality: The top 20 percent of earners received 69.8 percent of President Bush's tax cuts.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Promise:"As President, Governor Bush will…pay the debt down to a historically low level."

Reality:As of July 30, the national debt stood at $7,316,567,571,232.89, a record high. This year's budget will also create a record deficit: $445 billion, according to the White House.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Promise: "The Social Security surplus must be locked away only for Social Security."

Reality: During 2002, the first fiscal year for which Bush was responsible, he spent $159 billion of the Social Security Trust Fund surplus.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Promise: "Governor Bush's income tax cuts will benefit all Americans, but they are especially focused on low and moderate income families."

Reality: Millionaires received an average tax cut of $123,000. Those in the bottom quintile of earners received an average tax cuts of $27. Those in the second to bottom quintile received an average cut of $317.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Promise: "To restore confidence in government, George W. Bush will...return civility to the nomination process."

Reality:When Sen. Patrick Leahy confronted Vice President Cheney about the impropriety of this charge on the Senate floor, Cheney civilly told him to "F*** off."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Promise: "When America uses force in the world, the cause must be just, the goal must be clear, and the victory must be overwhelming"

Reality: Where is the overwhelming force at 2000 dead US soldiers later? What exactly are we fighting for in Iraq? So why didnt we finish up in Afghanistan and wait on Iraq?

a. Destruction of WMD which has not been found. While we give Iran a pass and they definitely have WMD capability. Why havent we invaded North Korea which is more of a WMD threat than Iraq ever was?

b. Democracy? Iran once again, and all our middle east allies are not democracies?

c. To prevent slaughter and torture under Hussien?

There are more countries than you can count on both hands that have this problem. Why do we condemn torture when we give prisoners over to other countries to be tortured?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Promise: "promises made to our veterans will be promises kept."

He said then that "in order to make sure that morale is high with those who wear the uniform today, we must keep our commitment to those who wore the uniform in the past. We will make sure promises made to our veterans will be promises kept."

Reality: In 1995 during Bill Clinton's second term the government stopped honoring that pledge, and many military retirees have had to pay for benefits through Medicare, which costs about $60 a month and pays for 80 percent of the expenses.

The Pentagon, Justice Department and White House won't discuss the situation, and the Bush administration is ignoring an appeal from the group seeking to overturn the 1995 decision on behalf of the nation's 1.7 million military retirees.

The Bush Administration has underfunded the VA so that past veterans and current veterans were unable to recieve proper care

A top official at the US Department of Veterans Affairs has ordered local VA administrators across the country to stop marketing their health care services and recruiting new veterans to use them because of tight finances and the risk of increasing already long waiting times for services.

"Even though some sites might have local capacity, as a national system, all facilities are expected to abide by this policy," wrote the official, Laura J. Miller, deputy undersecretary for health for operations and management, with the approval of the Veterans Affairs secretary.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I am a fiscal conservative and a family conservative. And I am a compassionate conservative, because I know my philosophy is optimistic and full of hope for every American."

Bush is talking about cutbacks in the Foodstamps which would mean cutbacks in School feeding programs..but by golly the record making oil companies got thier tax cuts.

The site's most noticeable feature is a "compassion photo album" consisting almost entirely of photos of the smiling Bush with smiling black children.

wonder how many of those children are better off due to his compasion?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Promise: "The people have spoken," Bush said. "They said they want change. They said it's time to clean up Washington. They're tired of politics as usual. They're tired of the pursuit of self-interest that has gripped Washington. They want to see an end to partisan bickering and closed-door decision-making. If I'm elected, I'll make sure that the American people can once again place their trust in the White House."

Reality: this was made for the 2004 election..so is Bush saying that the last four years of his administration consisted of the pursuit of self interest, partisan bickering, closed door decision making. Is he running against himself or Kerry....lol. So have we seen any changes... Nope...SSDD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I voted for Bush twice for Gov of Texas

I voted for Bush in 2000, I didnt vote for him in 2004. wonder why?

123,000 dollars went back to each millionare which could have bought 24 dragon skin vests for soldiers.

During WW2 my mom told me about sacrifices on the home front. Ration coupons, Gas coupons, candy, sugar, rubber, metal ect........

seems this administration doesnt mind that troops die because of lack of the best armor and vehicles. However, dont touch those tax cuts.

I have finally come to the conclusion that we just elect the lesser of evils, and I now know that you can tell when a politician is lying because his lips are moving.

or

When W went to DC the noecons are actually Pod People and replaced the W that I voted for twice as Gov of Texas with a Pod Person.

Having been raised around the LDS all my 60 yrs (in a mormon belt) I know they teach they are the 'Lost Tribe' of Israel.

Hey , you are living in the cave for the last 4 years , like a Japanese in the Pacific Island after the WWII looking for Americans to kill. Obama is the president and Hope and Change is going to the drain, along with our economy.

Mitt Romney's face is a urinal target in my bathroom stool. That's what Mitt Romney represents to me.

You know why this wall is over-run by the liberals on a Sunday? Because liberals don't believe in God, for the most part, hence, don't go to church like the rest of decent America does... We let Satan have his own on the blogs on Sundays---and darned if his children aren't predictable (I'm just the designated scout to keep an eye on you naughty little children while the adults are away)...... So have your fun......we'll have ours with the losers on the Left when President Romney takes over in January of 2013.

God won't accept liberals because they are filled with hate.

Note to BorderJoe: The Supreme Court did not say it was a tax. They said Congress could do it under its "taxing power." There is a subtle difference which require more space than a bumper sticker to explain so you probably won't get it, but I will try anyway.

If you have something or do something that is taxable, it is taxed no matter what. The "no matter what" is what makes it a tax.

A penalty, on the other hand, is a matter of choice. You can choose to do whatever might result in a penalty, and be penalized, or choose not to, and not be penalized. The power to legislate a penalty is within Congress's taxing power, but that does not transform a "penalty" into a tax.

He hasn't. There is no such way. But he has been disinated an @!$%#.

Obama is the ultimate panderer.

uh...no.....Romney wins the panderer title hands down.

I agree. We have not been embarrassed of being Americans until he step out of the plane in London, and started making asinine comments about the Olympics. Now, he is jeopardizing the national security of the country by making threats to Iran.

He is totally out of control. He is not even the "official" GOP candidate, and he is already showing to be the biggest jackass after George W.

Does he have any brains? He is showing to be another Bush.

Holds no office, yet, goes overseas to meet with foreign leaders? Is this proper?

Lori57,

Obama did the same road trip to Israel in 2008 when he was a candidate. It did not prove anything for Obama. It won't prove anything for Romney.

They both win the prize for complete pandering and bull@!$%#. Barry and Mitt are 2 peas in a pod only difference is Barry hates the American way and Mitt loves the ability to make money. Why else would barry keep pushing hatred of the money makers?..to offset Mitts love of making money

I really don't believe Mitt or others in the house and senate should go to country"s and speak. I think this is the job of the President, Sec of State and people who deal with these country's on a daily basis. The wrong thing said could cause grave problems for us and the world.

Obama 2012

Justtredd64

They all pander. That's politics. Obama hates America and what she stands for and as a Socialist he is going to take America down the same failed path as Europe. Romney loves America because he is smart enough to know that a capitalist system is the only one that works. It's the system that made America great. Obama has the people who just aren't smart enough to get rich into thinking that there is something wrong with people making money. Stop being jealous and go out and make yourself rich. I am sure most of you would find out that it's not as easy as it looks. After all, if it were we'd all be rich.

@justredd

Where do you get this crap?

Barry hates the American way

Prove it! I men it, prove it. I'd have an easier time proving you're a low class idiot then you will proving President Obama hates the American way of life. You people are something else. I really dislike slow, dull people like you.

True ... but Obama didn't try to act like he was already the President. Romney in his typical arrogant way, practically committed the U.S. to support Israel if they went to war with Iraq. Think he's putting the cart before the horse? Last thing we need is another war, but the GOPnutjobs would have one tomorrow if they could.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2012!!

Nothing could be said to make America look worse than what has been said and done in the last 3 years....

Romney in 2012

It's funny that 98% of this forum are liberals, and the liberals are still the only ones getting their comments collapsed....LOL You people can't even win when your practically the only ones in the room!--(somewhat reminiscent of when the dems controlled Congress AND the WH prior to 2010). Hilarious!

The US was initiated by a group of wealthy white Englishmen
tired of supporting the British royalty.

To think that anything is going to change in this socialist
direction hinted by our current presidential administration is not only
drinking spiked cool-aid, but is being corralled into the very herds that the
rich are seeking- pacifism and non-violent conformity. Only when they are subdued into a mindless mechanism will our society meet the needs of the wealthy.

If anyone thinks that Obama is against the rich, they have already been suckered
into the plan. Obama is part of the club of millionaires and billionaires that
are already in control of the world. It makes little difference who wins in November;
the chips will fall as has already been decided. The rich see the masses as
idiots that are easily controlled. The election in 2008 proves that fact and
will probably repeat in 2012. The once great US will continue to decline into
the largest third-world country in history.

They don't have money so probably no. If we go to war with Iran he will need more bodies, so maybe yes. BTW Puerto Rico is already U.S.

Good question Karim.

He is just trying to show that he "cares"so much about the region. Never mind that George Bush and Cheney destabilized the region by invading Iraq with the only purpose of taking the oil. Now, he is determined to continue the legacy of mistakes made by the GOP if he gets elected.

Irespond

George Bush and Cheney destabilized the region by invading Iraq

Drinking too much kool-aid.

You need to go back to school, Meddle East never was a region in peace.

Is it Mitt ____________Romney?

It is Mitt "I did build that" Romney!

It is Mitt "I won't spend trillions of dollars we don't have" Romney!

It is Mitt "I will stop supporting those that won't get off their ass" Romney!

It is Mitt "I can't do any worse than Obama" Romney!

Should I continue, this is too easy!

Why is it that some of the people with the wittiest screen names offer the least meaningful posts?

I don't know DB... ask MarkMo that! Typical GOPnutjob post!

@ DB Akron

What's truly comical is how hard the Leftist try to be witty or verbose (with their page-long "add-like" rhetoric, and it DOESN'T WORK! hahaha) The names and sentiment they come up with are nothing shy of moronic.... Someone once said that people should have to pass a psychological exam before being allowed to vote........but, then most of the Left wouldn't be allowed to vote, and that wouldn't be fair now, would it?

More superlatives please, I still don’t get
it (snicker…)

And how much has Obumas wealth grown since taking office? Not so fair now is it.

jstdafacats. No, it they will be screaming "Fetuses and God".

Maybe speaking English would help you get your point across. But, then again this is typical liberal-speak mentality…Next!

Yeah... why does the holy man need so much protection?

The Western Wall is very modern. You can send prayers by text, fax, email, etc.

Ya know.....come to think of it. I have never seen Mitt "F da Poor" Romney and da Devil in da same room at da same time........Hmmmmmm.

By that criteria the last few presidents have been anti Christs.

List an example of "F da Poor". In my opinion you don't like the idea that Romney is a wealthy man. I am sure you wouldn't walk away from millions if it were there for the taking let alone have to work for it. You are pathetic spouting assumptions.

At Mark: Actually Romney said in a recent speech that he wasn't worried about the poor, they have a safety net in place. Translation: f da poor. No assumptions, just the facts, ma'am.

Paula, "I am not worried about the poor they have a safety net in place" is a far cry from "F da poor". You would love to have the general public believe that Romney doesn't care about people. There are safety nets in place, and he is correct about that. Would you like me to list them, I am sure I can find a government website that lists them. The poor can get more government assistant in regards to , health, childcare, education, food stamps, housing and welfare than most of us can fathom.

Jstdafacts: I am glad to see you know all of these folks and what their motives are. I would gladly donate millions (if I had it) to the Romney campaign. Since you don't know me let me tell you why. In hope of removing Obama from the office of the Presidency, nothing more nothing less. Probably not as good of a reason as you could fabricate but "dat is a fact".

Why don't I hear you whimpering about the donations Obama is getting? I assume it is because they are the "Hollywood A Listers" or "Pro-athletes". I am sure I could look and find a wealthy businessman or women that have contributed to his campaign. Maybe I should look at his relationships with those connected to Solyndra, or those in the private sector that have lost billions of government $$ and haven't been prosecuted. Where did those dollars go? Do you think some of them found their way into Obama's war chest. I think so but won't claim that I know that for fact. So unlike your moniker make it factual. I couldn't give a rats a$$ who is donating money to Romney or Obama but don't pretend to understand why, you come across as stupid and uninformed.

Markmo12757

You didn't mention all the billions of dollars the unions spent to get Obama elected and are doing it again to get him re-elected. It always amazes me how Romney gets slammed because corporations back him but no one ever mentions the billions of dollars spend by unions on liberal candidates. There is a double standard on which candidate its ok to donate millions to. It's ok for Obama but not Romney. Liberals are hypocrites.

..against union thievery.... Hypocrite title is already taken by the GOPnutjobs!!! Think of another one. LOL

For the record, Mitt Romney donated 19% of his income to charity last year. Slow Joe Biden donated .001%. Show me another politician who is that generous with their own money, and I will gladly vote for them.

For the record, Mitt Romney donated 19% of his income to charity last year

For the record, YOU are WRONG - Willard donated 10% of his income as required by the Morman Church in order to maintain his "good' standing!

It's one thing to donate out of the goodness of your heart and totally another to do so because you HAVE to!

Show me

Show us some proof of your outrageous claim... until then, do some research before YOU speak of things you know NOTHING about!

Jstdafacts,

I have already addressed someone that vomitted the same pathetic talking point rhatoric that you've obviously copied and pasted from someone else. For example, I work for the Marriott corporation. Not only do the associates at my hotel (all 1800 of them) have pay rates far above the standard, they also have fully paid benefits for themselves, their partner/spouse, and up to 2 children. They have enormous hotel and travel discounts, stock options, 401k, and an excellent vacation package. They come from all walks of life from dozens of countries around the world.

Maybe you should try learning "da facts" and stop spewing "da talking points" of which you know exactly dick. I think it is pathetic of both sides to regurgitate what they hear from far left or far right blogs that tout "information" and "news" as their own while injecting extreme opinions. It is disengenuous at best. Jstdafacts has nothing cognitive to offer the discussion along with many other posters here. Many people continue to make snide comments and make absurd statements. How about having an intelligent conversation and debate topics instead of pointless name calling and trying to tell everyone why "the other side" is so much worse. If the people on Newsvine want to know what is truly wrong with this country, many have only to look in the mirror.

You silly liberals, if you were not so idiotic it would be no fun at all!

Jstdafacts: If your intent is to get a reaction so be it. If you are serious you are just stupid ignorant and close-minded. I won't attack anyone's religious beliefs or lack there of; because it is none of my business and it certainly isn't yours. I would love to continue but I have to run to church, it is Sunday you know. I say a prayer for all, you included.

Yo jackass why don't you learn english, get a hair cut & a job? Oh never mind you enjoy sounding like a moron. Keep on with the ebonics.

I agree, whuck. Everything justdafacts types is annoying to read. Makes one lose track of what the point was ... what was I saying?

@Ouch... that's because when he gave his speech in Israel today, he had his speech written by his handy dandy speech writers, and his teleprompters! The day is not over yet.... he still has time to put his foot in his mouth again.

Speaking of outsourcing .......what about all those jobs at the GM truck plant in Pontiac Michigan that went to Mexico after Obama bailed out GM specifically to save jobs? Your Lord and Savior Obama is as much of an outsourcer as Romney.....take a look at all the jobs GM outsources and GE, both huge companies both in Obama's pockets. So what do you say now jstdafacts?

Why is it that liberals chastise those that out-source jobs and then brag about their new Hundai, Lexus or whatever they drive that was made overseas…You are buying the products that you protest against USA companies sending overseas but support in droves the foreign companies that are sinking us! And now everything is made in China, and we in so much debt to them that… never mind. What a bunch of hypocritical whiners. Thank god (rhetorically speaking) that I will die before the worst happens. God (or whatever higher power you prefer) save our grandchildren from the horrors that await them. I was fortunate to grow up in a fast growing, forward thinking society that has gone bust. You can have your third world America, I’m glad I will be dead before our descendants are put back into the stone age.

Americans First, in answer to your question - I think the tide is turning back again to normalcy.

We'll know soon enough. It's just a matter of what is going to become of voter suppression, needed in order of course to steal the election for Romney. I think the Republicans want to ride the wave of racism in the GOP right to November, but even that may have its limits.

This voter suppression stuff is quite disturbing and just another racism tactic. We need to watch this carefully, particularly in Florida & Pennsylvania.

Americans First ...

Are the American people really stupid enough to fall for the republicans lies?

Unfortunately yes. But I do so hope the tide turns and people start eschewing the teabagging Far Right and start actually looking for answers rather than spending so much time hating.

Unelected chancellor Adolf Hitler had the troops under him take an oath, not for the well being of the country, but an individual oath to him. Unelected Grover Norquist had the Repuglican Congressmen take an oath, not for the well being of the country but instead an oath to him. The Repuglicans being simple minded people unable to think for themselves obliged.

When the Reichstag was set on fire, a prominent Nazi, Hermann Goering shouted at the top of his lungs "This is the beginning of the Communist revolution! We must not wait a minute. We will show no mercy. Every Communist official must be shot, where he is found. Every Communist deputy must this very day be strung up." Without a fire, prominent Repuglican Congressman Allan West 78 to 81 Democratic members of Congress are Communists.

Unless we learn from the past, we are condemned to repeat the same mistakes with the same disastrous results. Vote Democratic in 2012.

Rush would never run for President. He'd lose his multi-million dollar job spewing hate over the air waves.

Layton-3733410

Americans First ...

The fact that Obama ever got into the WH is hard, cold, and irrefutable proof that the majority of voting America is totally ignorant....and a prime example why we'll never get rid of the electoral college.....until the majority starts showing some sign of intelligence...
