    The Phony War: Obama and Romney Are Debating Character, Not Policy

    More than five months from Election Day, the back-and-forth about Mitt Romney’s record at Bain already feels played out. Unfortunately, there’s good reason to expect the campaign continues in this vein indefinitely. Neither Barack Obama nor Mitt Romney are terribly interested in dwelling on policy platforms. Romney’s plan to slash spending and keep taxes low on the wealthy isn’t especially popular, at least not at any level of detail beyond a blithe promise to shrink the deficit. Meanwhile, Obama’s signature first-term achievements, like health care, the stimulus and Wall Street reform, are all unpopular or tricky to sell. (The Dodd-Frank bill is the most popular of these, but hyping it means offending wealthy donors.) So what we’re getting instead is a superficial duel about character–and, worse, one that’s based on the largely false premise that the better man can better “manage” the economy back to health.

    I have to wonder if those who vote for these guys can read?
    .
    Al, AZ are proof positive that all you need to do is be an idiot to be elected.

    You looney America hating lefties wouldn’t know a real American if you met one. Close minded and oppressive, your ilk needs to be re-educated on what America is and how it was designed to work.

  • ricardo4max

    The actor in the parody seems to be a typical far left liberal, a member of the new castrati. What is it about America that you all hate so much?

  • allthingsinaname

    No the question is really is; what do you hate about America? I love America, I dislike your attitude.

    “Close minded and oppressive, your ilk needs to be re-educated on what America is and how it was designed to work.”
    .
    About being oppressive and re-educated.
    .
    How do you square that statement?
    .
    Reminds me of how Bush needed to explode the propaganda.
    .
    I’m fairly sure a real American could see the conflict in that sentence without wrapping themselves in the flag.

    Actually, cotton is one of the largest sources of revenue in Arizona. Only here, instead of Jim Crow it’s Jose Cuervo.

    “ricardo”.
    .
    Hmmmm, that sounds a bit foreign. Can I see your papers? Real Americans want to see your papers when you have a foreign sounding name.
    .
    I’ll need to see your birth certificate, too.

  • m0mentom0ri

    “new castrati”
    .
    What is it with the right-wing and gay jokes? It’s like they stop maturing around 12 years old.

    Is it just me, or are all of the conservatives posting here in fear of castration or accidentally turning gay?
    .
    I had to look up the word Casterati. I have never had any reason to use that word.
    .
    I am really beginning to think that an extremely large share of conservatives have very, very low testosterone levels.

    This is the second time ricardo4max has come up with one of these oxymoronic statements.
    .
    I do not think that ricardo4max is a Latino.
    .
    I think that the moniker means that all of them should be sent to a super max prison.
    .
    Um, hopefully, I’m not the last to notice that possibility…

    Oddly enough, I’m pretty sure he’s a Brit.

    papers shmapers. That’s a foreign sounding name. Off to the internment camps to await news from the death panels.

    ricardo: I just think you want to join the soprano chorus. Sorry you are so insecure.

    MS Thank you for a couple of very funny videos. They were funny not because they mocked Conservatives, but because they made me laugh.

    This is an amusing video from Ubikastan (sp). It is funny because it involves a political leader looking foolish.

    I like this parody because it mocks fear mongering.

    The funniest part, even though Tim James is an exception, I’ve met people from Alabama I needed a translator for. Some of them I catch every third word. I have an easier time understanding some new immigrants learning English than I do some rural Alabaman’s.

    It’s too bad that Tim James never got anybody teach George Wallace English. Then, again, if I knew more of what Wallace was talking about, I would have, probably, found him even more despicable.

    The most common ancestry of American citizens is German, but, despite having bilingual schools in German before World War One, we fought against Germany when they were against democracy two times. Except for for the tiny German-American Bund, we had no problems getting German-Americans to sign up and fight against Germany.

    The second largest ethnic group is Irish. Despite their centuries long conflict with the English, there was no problem getting Irish Americans to sign up and fight side by side with the English, again, two times.

    Now, a state with far, far less immigrants than the Northeast fears that these new immigrants have to be coerced into speaking English.

    How do you get to your English as a second language class if you can’t drive there!

    How can you pay for your English as a second language class if you can’t drive to and from work?

    First, you get your license in your native language, get work, save money and then drive from your work to classes to lean English.
