There’s nothing new about politicians making promises they are in no position to keep. Herbert Hoover’s 1928 campaign promised a “chicken in every pot and a car in every backyard, to boot.” Michele Bachmann is promising $2 a gallon gasoline.

If President Obama is reelected, you will not be able to get a job,” Romney said.

A promise he could easily keep. He just needs to give that one particular student a job.

We have to beat this scumbag in the primaries.

Perhaps he will steer her towards the nice hedge fund he and his buddies set up for one of Romney’s sons.

If that Mormon scumbag doesn't get defeated in the primaries, then it will be up to Obama to defeat him in the general.

“To repeat, I will never vote for Romney under any circumstances.”

I am with you. One or two cycles ago I might have, but no more. I have been voting for people I did not like since 1988, and enough is enough.

Kelly, look around...is you job prospect better today than when you entered college? No, it is not. We can't afford 4 more years of Obamanomics.

Would have been my answer.
