Che -Guevara Posted November 3, 2012 Exclusive: Christie was Mitt's first choice for VP The New Jersey governor endeared himself to Romney and the Boston team with his early endorsement, right after giving up his own bid. This was early in the primary campaign — October 2011 — and there were seven other candidates in the race. So the endorsement wasn’t easy, and it meant a lot to Romney. During the long winter slog through the early contests, Christie spoke privately with Romney in long cell phone calls on the road. Romney liked Christie’s fearless advice — unvarnished talk that he wasn’t used to hearing from his cocoon of Boston advisers, many of whom had been with him since he was Massachusetts governor. Christie was one of the campaign’s most popular surrogates, and he barnstormed with Romney in Iowa, drawing hearty applause for lines like, “Let me tell ya: After three years of Obama, we are hopeless and changeless.” continue reading Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abu-Salman Posted November 3, 2012 Romney wants health insurance to be optional and the system less regulated, likewise for education; taxes, infrastructure and other spending cuts: all about individual choices and private sector. It's incredibly ideological and irrational: nobody can seriously defend sky high health costs that leaves much and many out, profit centred college and loans or neglecting inrastructures again when they are in such shape with high pollution and energy waste. The flawed premise being that the private sector do always best and social mobility exists yet everything proves the opposite as key innovations were all government sponsored in recent history, inequalities intolerably high with less and less profit reinvested productively, pollution and waste is pervasive and growth unsustainable without emphasis on human and physical capital (look at Sweden surprising growth, achieved through quality education, high level of innovation and social harmony through public redistribution or infrastructure etc).

Libaax-Sankataabte Posted November 3, 2012 The latest outrage is that the 30,000 somalis who live in Columbus area are "illegals voting for Obama". " frameborder="0" allowfullscreen> Obama will win this election. The electoral math is just not there for Romney. Obama had the same advantage before Sandy,but the optics of Obama comforting Christie was the last nail in the coffin. Republican vote rigging is still a concern and a possibility, but as of today, Romney's chances are very slim. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most things really starting with taxes, healthcare, education, immigration, entitlement programs,and civil rights Romney wants to keep Bush taxes and if it's possible cut more taxes for what he calls 'job creators' euphemism for the super rich. He wants to do this without identifying how to raise revenues in order to pay down deficit while funding necessary programs that are helping the elderly, the poor and minorities. Romney wants to reverse Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) even though it is not that from his own healthcare law in Massachusetts. It's difficult to overturn any law passed by the Congress but Romney can severely undermine by defunding it or changing regulations hence changing the intent of the law. Students and former students including yours truly are burdened with student loans. Th republicans have no plan in helping and avoiding the next crisis which is affecting millions of Americans. And there's the issue of immigration. Romney wants 11 million illegals to essentially be deported along with American born children. These people have lived from few years to few decades, have contributed to the tax base, and are part of economy. They are part of the American fabric. It's unwise and immoral to pursue such policy. Romney wants to gut all entitlement programs including Medicaid and Medicare through deep cuts and individual voucher program where elders will be required to shop health plans. And finally Romney is now beholden and supportive of republican-led states where minorities, elders and young people are being disfranchised with new election laws. They are doing anything they can and with trick in the book to limit the political power of non-republicans and in some ways non-whites. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
