(And by the way, this is a man [Romney] that is directly responsible for saving over 40,000 American jobs [union and non-union alike] and 73 American companies that would otherwise be out of business right now... including Staples and the third largest steel maker in the US.) So go tell those people that are working right now because of him that Romney is bad for business.

As for your comment about ultra-conservatives, of course there are some that are extreme in their thinking, but hardly in the same catagory or numbers as the mass of people that think that Obama is actually doing good. I'll stand by my original comment.

Well,it wasn't just firefighters.it was also teachers and police officers.What the President wanted to do was to use some federal money to re-hire people in those professions who had been laid off due to the economy.Romney doesn't think it should happen.Neither Obama or Romney can hire or fire anyone in those professions but,federal money could be used to re-hire and get staffing back up to safe levels.I witnessed first hand what the current mindset of the republican party is when it comes to middle class public sector workers.I think that they are simply trying to push the ALEC agenda and the result would be that MANY middle class workers would see their pay and benefits cut while they simply would get richer.I don't mind people becoming rich through hard work but when they want to do it by hurting the quality of life of other people then I say that it's wrong.


I thought I'd list a few sources on Romneys statement so credibility wouldn't be an issue.

And I'll stand by my position also!
I think i should say that I'm a life long democrat who has a middle of the road outlook on most issues and politics.Like I've said before,the ultra righties and ultra-lefties are the ones ruining this nation.there's no compromise in either party and very little gets done because of it.
In the last election McCain was going to get my vote until he announced his choice of running mate.He recently spoke out about Michelle Bachmann and her attitude.HE is the exact type of politician we need many more of in this country.
I certainly don't agree wit every decision Obama has made but I think that He will try to look out for the average person far better than Romney ever would.
