Some laws guarantee freedom, such as the bill of rights. That is what makes the average man free. It is in fact middle ground, as you can be free without being fabulously wealthy or a successful warlord.Quote:

Looks like Romney will say things to his supporters in private and change his mind when it bites him.
I can understand someone not voting for BO but it's too bad when the other choice will say one thing to private supporters and another to us. Admitting to a mistake is a good thing but if only when caught is another. Which one is Romney's truth? Probably the one where he stated the 47% don't matter as they won't for me anyway.

Oh no Joe...say it aint so; a politician saying one thing behind the curtain and another on stage. I suppose there is a first for everything.Quote:

Or is that something different cause it's a Dem doin it to us?
I suspect the converse is also true - there is a big slice of voters that won't vote for any D because they don't want to lose any of THEIR freebies. I don't care who does or doesn't pay taxes, I know I do. But really the question is "Is Big Bird a part of the 47% ?". If the Rmoney plan is put in place he will be.Quote:

If you cant understand how anyone could NOT vote for Obama then explain ease why you think that way.
Perhaps you should. IMHO everyone should have some skin in the game.Quote:

I just don't think it makes sense to cut budgets and say you will create jobs when the truth of the matter is the damage is greater than the benefit. You would think a good business man would recognize that.Quote:
