If your going to make an accusation, you really need to offer some specifics and evidence of it. Otherwise it simply is a partisan attack without basis.

Not so convenient how the economy, in which the housing industry was already starting to topple from the previous 8 years, fell all on Obama, who now had to cleanup what wall street had done under the Bush administration.

"NOW had to cleanup"? funny - he has had 4 years and nothing to show for it - otherwise he would be touting how much the economy has improved.

Wall street, the same people who caused both this recession and the great depression, are the same "people" who republicans think should be almost totally let free to stomp on the public at will.

Again - your not only misrepresenting party policy, your also grossly generalizing about any and all Republicans.

Theres a difference between wanting equal opportunity and wanting everyone to share.

Somethins we agree on then - too bad your guy doesn't since all he can tallk about is everyone's "fair share" and not their "fair opportunity". Interesting, isn't it?

In case you forgot your history lessons, Monopolies kept the majority of the public on financial chains. Denying that they cant do so today is ridiculous.

And somehow you don't see how a monolithic, all encompassing government can do the same? Things like, oh - say a monopoly on health care, for example......

The Oil companies can, right now, price gouge without consequence. 5 Dollars a gallon because the oil companies believe in fairy tale oil futures and try to write it off because of one insignificant oil rig fire.

You really should not have gone here... Note - you said "RIGHT NOW". Right now as in 4 years after the "Savior" Obama has been in office - with his first two years of total congressional control to boot. Compared to the day he took office, Gas prices on average have more than doubled. So if "big, evil oil" can (and apparently has) do/done this "RIGHT NOW" - who is responsible for that?

Also - while I get you don't like "big company X", show me where this is occuring and then answer why Obama has not stopped it. Next, show me an "insignificant" oil rig fire/spill. Finally, explain why it is that your so against "big oil" when government makes more moneyoff every gallon of gas than the company that makes it. Yet somehow it never becomes "evil, big government" - does is?

Three major food companies dominate the food market. Might as well be monopolies, they bought out almost all competitors a long time ago. If you want to open your own farm, good luck trying to sell anything, the food giants will most likely crush your attempt. This isnt equal opportunity.

Again - no citation of evidence given. Let's assume your right though. Where has your glorious leader been on this issue? Oh - absently silent as he has been on anything else. Now suddenly this and other things are "major issues" - when he needs your blind following to vote for him. You simply refuse to see that.

This is monopolies. This is financial chains covered in a false sense of freedom. Less government interference in business regulation? HAHAHA! Good luck trying to live your american dream, pal.

How about less government interference in personal life? Like not telling me what I HAVE to buy. Or trying to get me to buy the electric car he wants me to have - from Government Motors.

So for the past 4 years, Republicans have been trying to make health insurance completely dominated by the insurance companies, who pick and choose who they want to cover based on outrageous grounds.

Which is why the writing of the ACA was done behind closed doors - with "big insurance" included, right?

So republicans are not only trying to "blame Obama" for this crisis and his inability to fix everything the republicans left him in 4 years, and for trying to get healthcare to people who cant afford it, while proposing absurd solutions to their views on obamacare that would only further the uninsured rates.

So repealing "Obamacare" and returning to the "old way" of doing thins would increase the number of uninsured compared to what it was? Ok - again no citation - but I agree it would. The thing is - you don't see why it would. It's because there are 23 Million more unemployed and underemployed that can't afford health insurance becase... THEY CAN'T FIND DECENT JOBS IN THE OBAMA ECONOMY! More people working means more people insured. But you can't make that connection, can you?

Republicans believe that "people should have the right to choose", except when it comes to their bodies and what they want to do with it.

I would ask if you generalize much, but the answer is obvious. Republicans and Democrats both believe in "the right to choose" - the difference is that the Republicans believe you have the right to choose for yourself - and the Democrats (since you want to generalize, I will too) want to choose who gets what, how they get it - and who pays for it.

See, generalizations in politics simply are not always accurate....

Romney talks about putting the squeeze on China but has been a proponent of further export of jobs to China. Romney tries to associate with the "average Joe" whilst being a FILTHY rich millionaire who hides his money offshore so he wont get taxed.

So promoting competition is bad... Oh - and like Obama isn't rich? Debbie Wasserman Shultz has the same type of offshore accounts as Romney - but because of the letter beside her name, that isn't a problem, is it? Romney tries to associate with the "average Joe" - your guy is too busy to meet with allies so that he can entertain members of the Muslim Brotherhood and hang out on Letterman or the view....

Romney wants to lower the taxes on the rich FURTHER than they already have, YET DOESNT WANT TO DO THE SAME FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS OR THE LOWER INCOME EARNERS, all to "promote job creation", when corporations have NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD and still refuse to hire more people.

Boy your in lala land with this one. Cutting tax rates across the board is a tax cut for everyone. Eliminating loophole impacts the rich more than the middle class. So the rich end up with about the same total tax, and the middle class gets a cut. Facts are just beyond you, aren't they?

Hes a bumbling fool when it comes to foreign policy. He believes that cutting ANYTHING (including inefficient projects that could easily be cut in turn for more equipment for the troops) military is absolutely detrimental to security but HEY, lets cut funding for planned parenthood and PBS.

Actually - lets cut all three. I don't care for his stance on blind military spending - but you really call Romney a fool when it comes to foreign policy, when Obama has seen the Middle East go from semi-stable to now being in process of being consumed by militant Islam and a nuclear Iran.... Yea ok. Even Obama is avoiding the discussion of libya. You know -where 4 Americans died and the State Department had warning after warning and did nothing - and then lied to the American public to try and make it about some anti-islamic movie instead of their own screw up? Yea - he is really successful when our enemies do not fear us - and our allies don't trust us.

And while its been replayed 1000 times already, he wrote off 47% of Americans as freeloaders, and you simply cant forget that kind of thing or brush it off as stupid banter.

Ah - don't pay attention to my guy's failures - pay attention to one taken out of context statement by the guy I don't like. Factually - 47% of people get more than they put regarding government programs and taxes. The likelyhood of people in that category voting for a guy who wants to end the free ride on government isn't very high. But demonize, that is all you have.....

His VP's "Budget plan" is Swiss cheese; a candle in the wind that cant hold its own.

Ah - so 1.2 Trillion in debt, 4 years in a row - is a candle we can just keep on burning then. Of course - no citation of your argument - just a blanket statement with no support....

"In the case of legitimate rape, the female body has ways of shutting that whole thing down" WHAT!!?!?
And they want to run for president. HAH!

You prove my point. You quote someone running for a congressional seat and try to act like the Presidential Candidate was the one that said it. Dishonest much? If the party supported the guy (who admitted he was wrong - and the medical community DID in fact at one time teach that his statement was correct), why did they pull their money? Oh - another fact convienently missed in your tirade.

So throughout we have generalizations, accusations with no evidence, attacks on a candidate with factual but taken out of context statements, and not one bit of defense of the record that Obama has created for 4 years.

Like I said - 23 Million unemployed or underemployed. Americans killed in the Middle East. 5 Trillion in new debt in 4 years while having the worst "recovery" in history.

Obama (and CaptainMatt1) want to talk Big Bird and baseless attacks.

I still think I know who is going to win this election.....
