    You know damn well the add is to make people say Woman Cancer Death = Romney. Don't pretend to be naive, because your surely not. And you should know I despise all spin merchants; right and left. I hope there is a special place in hell for them. I think they have done and continue to do great damage to this country

    So getting back to our conversation; Obama actually spoke the words attributed to him in that horribly hurtful add about him. Obama is such a sensitive guy.

    But these are the facts about the Romney add. I guess the fact that the add was a total lie doesn't matter when it's not about your guy.
    • Steelworker Joe Soptic’s wife, Ranae, died in 2006 — five years after the plant closed.
    • She didn’t lose coverage when the plant closed. Mr. Soptic told CNN that she lost her own employer-sponsored coverage a year or two later. She had no coverage after that.
    • And as we’ve reported before, when the plant closed Romney was running the 2002 Winter Olympics.
    Can you honestly say there is more BS slung at Obama. Really Red!!!

    Yep, the insinuation that the ad accuses Romney of causing cancer is hyperbole. Then again, there is plenty to find fault with in the GS Industries ad. Just ask FactCheck.org. For example:

    so what, its a PAC add, politics are dirty like swift boating and the Romney ad insinuating that Obama wants to put more folks on welfare, while during the add all the hardworking people are white, which can be taken that this is all minority folks on welfare. Which is a damn lie and even the architect of welfare reform says its not true. Cry me a river and then wipe yourselves with a sanitary napkin when yall finish.

    With respect to the bold font I would like to reply;

    "Cry me a river and then wipe yourselves with a sanitary napkin when yall finish".

    uh-oh

    "Madam Speaker, this bill offends my principles, but I'm gonna vote for this bill in order to preserve my principles." Paul Ryan

    In 2010, the Daily Caller's Matt Lewis wrote what could be Ryan's conservative obituary:
    Though he talks like Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman, some of Ryan's most high-profile votes seem closer to Keynes than to Adam Smith. For example, in the span of about a year, Ryan committed fiscal conservative apostasy on three high-profile votes: The Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP (whereby the government purchased assets and equity from financial institutions), the auto-bailout (which essentially implied he agrees car companies - especially the ones with an auto plant in his district--are too big to fail), and for a confiscatory tax on CEO bonuses (which essentially says the government has the right to take away private property--if it doesn't like you).

    True, but I dont always believe it is that black and white, even for Obama.

    On certain things I am sure bills have things they want and things they hate....

    Even I couldn't say with 100% accuracy what I would do in situations like those.

    But yea, makes him look like a turd...

    thats true it puts them in a hard spot, but on small bills yes, major bills its hard to go against conviction this much, i would think.
