Q. MrKnicksShot - Have you ever voted republican?

A. Only when Republicans are clear they share my values and ideas on how to make the world a better place.

Stay thirsty for knowledge my friends

I have voted both. You did not answer - you spun.

Big deal. Can you rebut, or cite superior Romney positions for, any of the ten reasons listed?

I don't think Romney is superior.

I also think that 10 reasons from a biased voter on a sports MB is a bit silly. On a political board, I am sure that republicans, democrats and independents can list their creative top 10's and they can all agree to disagree.

Picking on IKF is not that fair either.

Thank You mrknick i appreciate that. I respect Earl's opinions on politics i just wish he didnt call me simple minded or an idiot if i have a different opinion

Idiot?

Really? Do you enjoy making stuff up to make yourself feel better?

Or can you rebut any of the ten reasons listed why Obama is superior to Romney? Not equal. Superior.

So far the only thing you have done to back your political view is whine about someone not being fair. Then MrKnicksShot jumps in with a back massage to make you feel better. No one deals with issues.

11. Paul Ryan voted against funding to provide more student aid eleven times. Eleven.

Sheesh.

Hate did not make Obama act like he was on Quaalude's during debate 1 where he could've sealed the deal--Obama did it himself. He's losing to a man who was caught on video saying 47% of the country was irrelevant. Obama lost this by himself.

Putting the cart before the horse aren't you? According to http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/ Obama's still a pretty much overwhelming favorite to win reelection.

MKS - I assume Obama is doing a good job because the biggest douchebags in the country think he is doing a bad job.

I think that 45-50 pct of america think he is doing a poor job hence the threat to be a one term pres. Bringing up just those 3 idiots is silly.

Obama's done a great job of attacking Mitt Romney but about as bad a job as any incumbent I can remember of defending his 4 years, especially on domestic policy.

Well said.

The fact that he might lose to this guy is a testament to him just not getting it.

MKS - Silly? You must feel a domestic terrorist like Rush Limbaugh (who is paid $400M to spit hate into a megaphone) is silly? Having a media machine like Fox News, dedicated to demeaning every act of a president is not that silly.

You want silly? Making up an arbitrary figure of 45-50 per cent is silly. It has been researched that 20 per cent of Americans would never vote for Obama, no matter what his policy positions are. You do the silly math, which is reinforced on a 24-hour basis to the fearful and threatened via AM radio networks like Clear Channel (which happens to be owned by Bain Capital). Net result?

The Tea Party.

Silly, huh?

Five Domestic Facts On President Obama

1. Provided the Department of Veterans Affairs with more than $1.4 billion to improve services to America's Veterans

2. Significantly expanded Pell grants, which help low-income students pay for college

3. Established Credit Card Bill of Rights, preventing credit card companies from imposing arbitrary rate increases on customers

4. Require health insurance plans to disclose how much of the premium actually goes to patient care

5. Created more private sector jobs in 2010 than during entire Bush years

Someone, anybody, please give me five policy positions owned by Mitt Romney that are more compelling.

Pretty please.

Ten Reasons Obama Makes A Much, Much Better President Than Mitt Romney

10. Obama is clear about where he stands on issues. How can you vote for Romney when you don't even know what he really believes?

9. Obama fought to save General Motors and the American Auto industry, which fuels thousands of supplier jobs, with a loan.

8. President Obama signed the Lillie Ledbetter Act, his first legislation. if you love your Mom, sisters or daughters - you could look it up.

7. Barack has a decent jumpshot. He fills out an NCAA March Madness bracket. He busted a three point shot on tour while visiting troops abroad.

6. Know anyone in the military? The President increased funding for returning veterans. Republicans voted against it.

5. President Obama is respected around the globe. Romney botched the layup of saying something nice during the Olympics in London. He was labelled "Mitt The Twit". If Romney cannot handle London, how would he deal with real pressure from China or Egypt?

4. The President understand that Northern Africa is a complicated and delicate issue. It is not the Middle East. It is Africa.

3. The President fights for student loan programs (Pell Grants) so college becomes more affordable

2. Obama showed his tax returns. What is Mitt Romney hiding?

1. The President is smart. It is good to be smart.

IKF - it is your turn to produce ten reasons to vote for Mitt Romney...

Or, your rebuttal on all ten issues listed is appreciated. Sincerely.

Your turn...

10. Yes - he is clear in his speeches but result is a mess - see economy, healthcare, Middle east, Iran, Russia
9. Yes - he saved them. But I believe the inept companies must be closed so the better once can take the market share and employ the workers to do real job which produce wealth and not taking money from the pockets of taxpayers.
8. Lillie Ledbetter Act is not about Woman or minorities but about all workers pay discrimination. In real life it makes owners extra couscous in raising salary for good performance and even hire new workers because they afraid to get prosecuted by current employees.
It make much harder for woman and minorities to get a job in first place.
7. Jump-shot is not debatable - the best tool for modern political leader. They are all jump and shoot.. in the dark.
6. The military funding increase was blocked by republicans for political reasons. I agree that reps sucks but this has nothing to do with Obama
5. Obama is respected in Russia, Middle East Arab countries, China, and even Iran because he is soft and take US out of the game.
4. Middle East and North Africa have the same issues - Arab-muslim terrorism and Jihaddism, tribal wars, brutality and Middle Age Sharia society.
3. Pell Grants ($5.5K) is not a subject for removal. It is not adequate to provide any decent education too.
2. Obama is on payroll - he has income tax from his salary, Romney is businessman so he pays the taxes on profits and estates. First is public second is confidential and probably in the range of 15% as for any other people like him.
1. Being smart does not mean being good or successful. But better that being a moron. Looks like Romney is not a moron too.

I am not really a Romney fan. He may fail miserably. But Obama already failed so why not to try something new. Some change for a change.
