The clerk said (to the holder) that it was an EBT card.

Clerk better be careful...just saying "EBT" could be racist. We don't want to offend anybody.

if you stop watching CNN, then they will have less than 10 viewers.

LOL, I checked CNN and MSNBC for maybe 5 minutes apiece tonight. In no way can either of those nutworks count me among their "regular viewers".

American people need to know that 47% are not paying their ‘fair share’........GOOD JOB, MITT

I say "good job" as well, Julie. I just don't know what tricks the MSM have up their filthy sleeves. They appeared awfully gleeful over this tonight...

No, not permanently.

The best we can hope for is to buy a little more time.

Our country has been on this socialist path for 60+ years. They and we, have allowed the take over of virtually all of our institutions and quite frankly, I don’t see it reversing unless some extraordinary events occur.

A single election is not extraordinary.

I remain skeptical of those who say they will do the right thing somewhere over the rainbow when skies are more blue.

When has he stuck behind anything that he believes hurts him among the electorate?

He will apologise, just as he has for everything else.

Just a thought.

QUOTATION: “Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?”

“A Republic, if you can keep it.”

It is an entitlement when you steal from people making money. It’s a ponzi scheme, like all the other ones.

Thankfully there aren’t enough of us youngun’s so the system will collapse.

There are more than ONE tape...look for them in new PAC ads for Obama by tomorrow or Wednesday.

Also..keep scrolling down the page..it’s not just a snippet like we got with “bitter clingers” ..it’s the whole damn meeting.

AND...the rest will be released “soon”...

I agree, but I must play this hand.

We shall see. He’s been pretty consistant so far - takes the heat - apologizes.

“A Republic, if you can keep it.”

Romney is fundamentally anti-republican though. So I don't understand what you're saying.

Romney should start running his own ads using this same footage...to keep spreading the truth. Beat them at their own game....with plain hard facts.

Guess you missed where I wrote:

“At a minimum, they should not get back more than they paid...”

“Are all low income employees who don’t make enough to pay fed taxes, receiving government assistance?”

Beats me. But they should NOT have the right to vote benefits for themselves that they don’t have to pay for. The purpose of government is NOT to allow poor people to rob rich people at will.

In a moral land, it wouldn’t matter. But as we increasingly reject God and individual responsibility, then we need to find a way to prevent poor people from voting themselves money.

I suspect the vast majority of poor working people have access to a LOT of government benefits. Food stamps, healthcare, etc. My wife is a nurse whose patients are mostly from the non-working poor, and their coverage under the state seems to exceed mine.

Again, the game is rigged. Even if you "win," you lose.

As I thought I stated earlier, I have NO OTHER choice.

All we can do is hope to buy some time.

I've done the math and we are toast.

So, we can either delay the inevitable while maintaining a sliver of hope, or we can accelerate this slid to ruin and hope again to be alive to rebuild our nation.

To: chessplayer

Agreed. Romney needs to go on the offensive here—not defend against this sort of nonsense—however true it is.

Obama has but three tools in his back of tricks: character assassination, racism, and classwarfare.

This commment will allow him to use all three. Basically, Obama can only win by trying to destroy Romney because the man has no ideas, no credentials, and was perfectly portrayed by Eastwood’s empty chair. Perhaps the only thing Eastwood could have added would have been a bloody clotheshanger to complete the image.

BTW, I just now checked out your FR page.

How many states is your man Tom on the ballot ?

Where was he 2 years ago ?

Who do you think a split vote will benefit ?

Do you think a “protest” vote will have any lasting impact ?
