Ronald Reagan said the same thing in private as he did in public. Willard ‘Mitt’ Romney is no Ronald Reagan. Willard ‘Mitt’ Romney is Richard Milhous Nixon on steroids.

Here’s what Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, Nevada and, yes, Arizona, like the rest of this great country of ours, gets with Romney-Ryan:

–5 trillion dollars more in tax cuts for billionaires who pay less proportionately in taxes than those uf us in the middle class, those of us who know that as these further tax cuts for the super rich happen, there for sure goes our health care tax credit, home mortgage tax credit and college tuition tax credit

–2 trillion dollars more poured (no-bid contracts, $400 hammers, $600 toilet seats, anyone?) into a relatively peacetime military that, thankfully to our soldiers’ bravery, military strength and President Obama’s leadership, will have ended a war in Iraq and Afghanistan, along the way making sure for good (at election time or otherwise) that bin Laden is no longer overreaching, terrorizing or murdering

–Elimination (that’s right, not cuts — ELIMINATION) of vital resources many of us — and in particular children, families and seniors — look to for a hand up, such as health and community services, education and career building programs and crime prevention and neighborhood development initiatives because, as Romney and Ryan like to say, “If it requires borrowing from China to pay for it, it’s gone.”

Been there, done that. And these “swing states,” indeed America, will not stand for it. Not again. Not ever. We all know what’s up. It’s up to us, collectively, to keep change moving forward. Facts matter.

Respectfully,

Another independent Democrat for Obama-Biden in 2012

OK – I think we’ve straightened that out.

It took a Ronald Reagan to clean up Jimmy Carter’s mess. Obama is ‘Jimmy Carter on steroids’ but fortunately Mitt Romney, our next president, will prove to be ‘Ronald Reagan on steroids.’

Times up…Obama can’t hide from his dismal record of incompetence and failure any longer. The American people will vote to retire our incompetent-in-chief (also our deporter-in-chief) in less than a month.

The Republicans’ main argument seems to be: “Hey! You didn’t clean up our mess fast enough!”

teri, it looked to me as if you were coming into the comments of my blog and shilling for DD’s blog. That’s why I deleted your comment. If you want to take offense, you’re welcome to do so, but there’s no need to.

Obama has failed everybody, and his ‘hope and change’ of his 2008 campaign has transformed into ‘hype and blame’ since Obama cannot run on his record. Most Latinos are either immigrants themselves, or 1-2 generations removed from immigrants.

Most Latinos also know someone who lacks legal status, and the vast majority of unauthorized immigrants are good people and net contributors to society, who would gladly have stood in line had been a line to stand in.

Immigration is not the #1 issue for Latinos but still an important issue, and many are disappointed at Obama’s failure to lead on this issue. Lately, Obama has been trying to shore up his Latino support with rhetoric and mostly empty promises since he has proven he won’t follow through after elections.

Thanks. BTW, I am not the only blogger at this blog. Thomas Martin Salazar also blogs here. Read his blog “Gary Johnson, the Wasted Vote.” Thomas is one of our three Arizona leaders.

Don – innocently, it was to DD’s blog I was referring. Did you not see that? I am still offended that I was scrubbed when these other comments are allowed to stand.

Teri, I did explain why I scrubbed your comment. You used my comments section to invite people to read other blogs. If I allow you to do that, I have to allow everyone to do that.
