John V... You don't sound like an independent to me. Has Romney come to speak here? NO! NJ is not a battleground state. Pennsylvania is! Oh and by the way blame the employment #s on Christie and his Republican cronies!

Simple are you better off now then you were 4 years ago - probably not? Is your property value the same, or lower ? Feel any safer? Obama's not qualified for the job and we need to let him go! He had his chance DON"T let him con you again saying it takes time and he need another 4 years. He does not care about the country or you the only thing that he cares about is himself. We need someone [ROMNEY] that has proven success to make our country a success before we turn into Greece from overspending. The US can't just keep printing money and giving it away. The vote needs to be NON partisan this year and it doesn't matter if you are black, white, purple, yellow, or orange...whether your left or right, whether your gay or straight, whether rich or poor.
GIvE YOUR VOTE TO ROMNEY& RYAN 2012 They will restore our countries economy and dignity and protect our childrens future and future generations to come...

To 930Sun..

No wonder they say conservatives' brain functions in a "different" way.

People are much smarter than that. That's why they threw the GOP out of the White House last time. Despite still suffering from the worst recession since 1930, the economy is recovering. Want evidence?

Check out these:

And Obama's economy in a snapshot:

Can't you see things are turning around after the recession Bush Administration inflicted upon us?

Also, if you think Romney could make a better president than Obama, then go ahead and vote for the man who is nothing more than a combo of Bush Jr.'s economic policies, Cheney's foreign policies, Santorum's social policies and Brewer's immigration policies.

There it is. The perfect savior for all you conservatives out there.

I'm sorry but I just don't trust a candidate like Romney who:
a) will not show his tax returns,
b) that is deliberately evasive about when he left the corporation
"he no longer had an active role in" in order to dodge taxes,
c) who flip-flops on every issue he has been asked about,
d) who distorts the facts to make himself look good, and won't elaborate
on what he plans to do to "help the country" out of this economic turmoil
we are in,
e) is in favor of giving taxbreaks to people who clearly don't need them, instead
of helping the middle class,
f) is a member of a political party that is railroading changes in voting laws in order
to ensure his victory, and is attempting to take away women's rights to their own
bodies.
I could keep going but you get the picture..

I have not read one post that tells me what Mitt Romney would do as President besides doing what George W Bush did. And all I know about Romney's background is that he was a lousy Governor of Massachusetts, created Obamacare, is withholding his tax returns and that he is a secretive Mormom. Why would anyone want to vote for him?
How can anyone expect Obama to clean up an 8 year mess + 2 unfunded wars + Medicare Part D in 3 years?? Oh, and with a Congress who only knows how to say NO. He's tried hard to compromise but the Republicans only want to oust Obama, not truly work to help America!

Vote Obama/Biden 2012!

To Oppressed... Mormons ARE secretive...nothing bigoted in that statement..nice try...
You and your ilk still have not said one good thing about your man Romney...Why on earth would any sane American vote for
-- someone who doesn't believe the government should be helping ordinary people
-- someone whose business experience was running businesses into the ground for the profit of the few
-- someone who holds a Swiss bank account and holdings in the Cayman Islands
-- someone who won't release his financial records
-- someone who really does hold true to the 'etch-a-sketch' characterization?
If you decide to answer that question, I want to hear good reasons to vote for Romney. NOT reasons why you hate Obama.

I am excited that Obama will be re-elected...you obviously are upset that Romney will lose...

Ag Nigrin - I am not a fan of Romney, he is a weak candidate, but he is a much better option than Obama. Obama is in way over his head, is under qualified, and don't get me started on my fears about what he truly stands for.

You say the economy is recovering, but it is an illusion unfortunately. The market is being manipulated, as are the statistics. We are in for a rude awakening when it all comes crashing down. We have dug quite a whole. It started with Bush and it has been accelerated by Obama.

I am not a Republican, nor a Democrat. I am an American who believes it is silly to hold any allegiance to any "party". My allegiance is to this country, and I am concerned about its future. It is looking pretty bleak.

To mrvrnj421:
I respect your opinion but I beg to differ. Romney is the weakest candidate for President the Republicans have ever put forth. Obama saved this country from a Depression and we would have had a much lower unemployment rate if Republicans had worked with him and not obstructed practically every initiative put forward. I, unlike you, am an optimist... and I believe if the country and our politicians pull together things will get better. Your doom and gloom scenario is your POV... Thankfully most do not agree with it!

John V: I didn't say you weren't an independent... Read my statement again wise guy... Has Romney come to speak publicly in New Jersey? NO! So if you are a true independent you would question Romney as well! Plus you seem to find it very easy to label me hard core and make other assumptions. I couldn't care less who you vote for. I was only pointing out fallacies in your original statement. You make it sound like it is the Presidents fault for unemployment in NJ. I beg to differ. Blame obstructionist Republicans! I also wonder why you think Romney is the answer. I certainly don't. I would not vote for a condescending rich man who would invent thinngs and do anything to get elected.

8. Knows when to use soft power and hard power. 9. Turned around a financial crisis threatening a depression. 10. Recognized the ignorance of austerity during a severe recession; something the GOP and many European governments failed to recognize. 11.Built stronger programs for military families. 12. Ended "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in military. 13. Supported gay marriage as a recognition of a civil right. 14. Recognition that Bush tax cuts were inappropriate when fighting two unpaid wars.. 15. Realizes the enormous income gaps between rich and poor ought to be addressed as a matter of justice/fairness. 16. Supported tighter banking regulations. 17. Accomplished all of the above(most were campaign promises of 2008) despite a republican leadership stating that his defeat was their priority right from the start of his administration. -This is the record of an administration deserving another four years.

Vote for Obama/Biden 2012!

Classic GOPer who cherry picks and makes questionable assertions about facts... This country would have been in a Depression without Obama's economic stimulus and we would be out of the recession if Republicans worked with the President on his Jobs and Veterans Jobs bills. BTW... Your man Bush created the budgetary mess we are currently in. BTW..I STILL have not heard one good thing about Romney from you losers!

Please tell me how Romney would reduce the deficit by giving another tax cut to the wealthy...

SS is not an entitlement!

Trust me the left is not fearing or defending anything. Rather Romney's campaign is on the defensive! Have you seen the 47% speech to donors by Romney? That is the real Romney! Also have you seen the latest polls? Romney is losing big in all the big battleground states...

BTW... I STILL have not heard one good thing about Romney from his supporters here!

Things you should know about Mitt Romney Part 1:
Under Romney’s leadership, Massachusetts manufacturing declined by double the national rate, and was the third-worst overall in the country.
Governor Romney left behind a $1 billion budget deficit for the next governor and saddled Massachusetts taxpayers with more debt per person than any other state.
During Romney’s term as governor, state budget spending increased every single year.
The Washington Post reports that as CEO, Mitt Romney advised companies that were “pioneers” in outsourcing jobs overseas. As governor, Romney drew from the same playbook and outsourced state jobs. And today, Romney has proposed eliminating all taxes on companies’ foreign profits—which would actually encourage companies to send jobs overseas
Jobs. 47th out of 50 states in job creation
Taxes and Fees. Increased by $750 million per year.
Long term debt. Increased more than $2.6 billion.
Bain Capital recently bought a Chinese video-surveillance company reportedly “used to intimidate and monitor political and religious dissidents,” and Cisco “has marketed its routers to China specifically as a tool of repression.
Romney is still paid by Bain Capital.

IS THIS THE GUY YOU WANT AS POTUS? Not me!

agreed

I am an educator Oppressed.. My job is to educate the feeble minded like you. If there is any desperation it is visible in your smug comments. Your man is a loser! Have you had a look at any of the Polls lately?
