Are AMERICAN lives expendable to GUN RIGHT?

Sandy Hook Massacre

Lives Expendable to protect Gun Rights

The lives of 6 adult  were snuffed out at the end of a 20 year old shooter, reports are the guns used were owned by the shooters mother, probably a lifetime member of the NRA the organisation representing that having guns no matter how many bullets they carry should be in the hands of every citizen it is our right. 

The other five adult is yet to be determined what their position on the right to bear harm stand. Mental illness is again used as an excuse for these killings, exactly where the NRA want this conversation to take place. Did I also mention 20 Babies were also killed even then only 53% of Americans support legislation to control automatic weapons while 87% support the right to bear arms!

“In his first term,” Mr. Romney said, “ we've seen the president try to browbeat the Supreme Court. In a second term, he would remake it. Our freedoms would be in the hands of an Obama court, not just for four years, but for the next 40. That must not happen.”

Mr. Romney, who was introduced by his wife, Ann, received a standing ovation after his speech, though in the cavernous downtown dome where audience members filled only the floor, not the stands, the sound was subdued.

The Angry Old John McCain

After President Obama addressed the nation from the White House, former presidential campaign opponent Sen. John McCain delivered a blistering critique of the President.

“ I've been around this town for a number of years, and as is well know, had an interest in the Presidency more than academic”, McCain said as he began. John McCain noted that his perch as a lawmaker has afforded him a chance to see several presidents handle national moments of crisis.

“As I watched other presidents address crises, the way that they were able to resolve them and resolve them with presidential leadership".

“So what did the president of the United States just do? Well, he made a couple of jokes, laughed about how people are going to be here for New Year’s, and sent a message of confrontation to the Republicans".“ I guess I have to wonder!

McCain-Hotheaded

"The thought of [McCain] being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me." - Senator Thad Cochran (R-Mississippi), the Ranking Member of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

20 Babies Murdered Not enough to get Sen. Marco Rubio Support!

Senator Marco Rubio please stand up for something!

Politicians without courage, A thoughtful Senator Marco Rubio join the throng of Politicians who believe loyalty to the NRA is more important than protection of our children. Not even the murder of 20 babies in Connecticut can shake the hold the NRA have on Sen. Marco Rubio. If one of these children were Sen. Marco Rubio's child, would that make a difference? that the standard set by certain Senators on progressive issues, if you are gay it is immoral and against the conscience of the political right unless that child is Sen. Rob Portman's son.Once on the short-list to be Mitt Romney's 2012 running mate, Republican Sen. Rob Portman reversed his opposition to gay marriage while revealing that his own son is gay.

Marco Rubio filibuster gun control legislation.

Is the Republican and some Democratic opposition to Gun Control a matter of Principle, protecting a right under Second amendment or lack of courage and will to protect the American people?.Since the murder of 20 Babies  and 6 adults in Connecticut there have been over 3000 other murders by gun in the United States +355 in California alone.

Gun deaths by homicide, suicide or accident peaked at 37,666 in 1993 before declining to a low of 28,393 in 2000, the data show. Since then the total has risen to 31,328 in 2010, an increase of 2,935, or eight more victims a day. The FBI estimates that there are over 200 million privately-owned firearms in the US. If you add those owned by the military, law enforcement agencies and museums, there is probably about 1 gun per person in the country.

 If you want to get a rough idea of how many guns there are out there just look at how many people you see out there then multiply by a factor of estimated ownership. The last best guess was about 350,000,000 Total. That would be 1 weapon for every man woman and child. The average gun enthusiast owns several firearms which includes pistols, shotguns, and rifles of all makes and models. It is often estimated that about 1 in 4 people own any firearms and on average firearms owners own 4 guns each.

Electoral College!

Electoral Map red and Blue States

I did not know my vote didn't count, even though I have voted in all Presidential elections since President Nixon, What! and you only discover that Now in 2012? Yes. You are a low information voter or a No information Voter!.

Those are not the circumstances in the most recent election though, of course, No! No! the President  won the Popular Vote, what does that mean? he won more votes nationally than Mitt Romney! Oh.

Did you know Al Gore won more popular votes than George Bush Junior? yes! did you accept the outcome of that election? yes!. Then whats the problem with this Election? I cannot believe the American people re-elect this President, oh, so your frustration is not with the Electoral college then it is with who won! maybe, something like that, just remember you only have one vote, and the important you made it count!.

 United States Electoral College

The United States Electoral College is the institution that officially elects the President and Vice President of the United States every four years. Electors are chosen by each state of the United States and by the District of Columbia, but not by other territorial possessions of the United States (such as Porto Rico). The number of electors in each State is equal to the number of members of Congress to which the State or District of Columbia is entitled. Currently, the total number of electors is 538 - there are 435 representatives and 100 senators, plus the three electors from the District of Columbia. Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution specifies the number of electors to which each state is entitled and state legislatures decide how they are chosen. The Twenty-third Amendment specifies the number of electors for the District of Columbia.

Voters in each state and the District of Columbia cast ballots selecting electors pledged to presidential and vice presidential candidates. In nearly all states, electors are awarded on a winner-take-all basis to the candidate who wins the most votes in that state. Although no elector is required by federal law to honor a pledge, in the overwhelming majority of cases each elector votes as pledged. The Twelfth Amendment provides for each elector to cast one vote for President and one vote for Vice President. It also specifies how a President and Vice President are elected.

Critics argue that the Electoral College is inherently undemocratic and gives swing states disproportionate influence in electing the President and Vice President. Proponents argue that the Electoral College is an important, distinguishing feature of federalism in the United States and that it protects the rights of smaller states. Numerous constitutional amendments have been introduced in the Congress seeking to alter the Electoral College or replace it with a direct popular vote.

Election Result Changes in States

"Pregnancy as a result of Rape is something that God intended to happen."

Senate Candidate Richard Mourdock 

"Pregnancy as a result of Rape is something that God intended to happen."

Republican Senate Candidate Richard Mourdock on Rape.

"The only exception I have to have an abortion is in the case of the life of the mother," said Mourdock, the Tea Party-backed state treasurer. "I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize life is that gift from God. I think that even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen."

"Richard Mourdock's disturbing comment about rape is a window into Mourdock's extreme view of the world, " said Shripal Shah, spokesman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. "Indiana can't afford to send a self-proclaimed 'zealot' and Tea Partier like Richard Mourdock to the Senate."

Romney policy is that there will be exceptions for rape.

Mitt Romney said Tuesday he has no plans to push for legislation limiting abortion, a softer stance from a candidate who has said he would "get rid of" funding for Planned Parenthood and appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade.

“There’s no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda,” the Republican presidential nominee told The Des-Moines Register in an interview.

His comments to the Register could put him at odds with congressional Republicans who have made limiting abortion central to their messages. His own running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), has introduced bills to restrict access to abortion, and the Republican Party platform toughened its anti-abortion stance earlier this year.

 Ryan would confer legal rights on a fetus .

This August, Paul Ryan told a reporter, “ I've always adopted the idea, the position that, the method of conception does not change the definition of life,” Ryan said, referring to rape or incest. “But the Romney policy is that there will be exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother, and I think that is what people want to know, and I am comfortable with that because I think that’s a vast improvement to the status quot.”

Ryan has also supported so-called person-hood measures that would confer legal rights on a fetus (and thus potentially lead to the banning of all abortions). Last year, he cosponsored a federal bill that said that “each human life begins with fertilization, cloning or its functional equivalent, at which time every human has all legal and constitutional attributes and privileges of person-hood.”

Romney has never explicitly endorsed such a law, though he has said, as do many abortion foes, that he believes life begins at conception. Instead, his spokesman said in November 2011, “he believes these matters should be left up to states to decide.”

Pres. Obama made free contraception available for all women, which actually legislates and codifies “rare” in public policy. This is the seminal misunderstanding Republicans have about government power. They want to use state and federal power to force women to give birth, while Democrats under Pres. Obama want to utilize policy to make unwanted pregnancy not only rare, but obsolete.

Mitt Romney does no even like the Bushes Dog!

On June 27, 2007, The Boston Globe reported that in 1983 the Romney family strapped the dog in a crate on the roof of the family station wagon and drove 12 hours from Boston to a lake house in Ontario. Somewhere along the way, poor Seamus soiled the crate and the car's back window. As The Globe reported it, Romney stopped at a gas station, hosed down Seamus and the car, put the dog back into the wind-protected kennel and drove on. 

Three days later, Globe reporter Michael Levenson wrote that "Time.com's swampland blog has been flooded with more than 300 comments from readers complaining of animal cruelty.

Bo welcome President Obama

Based on the behavior of previous four-legged White House occupants, it is hard to draw too many conclusions. During the George W. Bush presidency, Barney the Scottish terrier had his own Web page on www.whitehouse.gov (which he shared with the Bushes’ other dog, Miss Beasley , and showed his gratitude by biting a Reuters reporter during the administration’s waning days. Socks and Buddy, the Clinton's  cat and dog, drew enough mail that Hillary Rodham Clinton assembled a book of letters, though Socks’s nastiness to Buddy got him gifted to Betty Currie whenthe Clinton's left the White House.

Mitt Romney"s Flips and Flops the, "Blunt Amendment"

The White House policy requires employers to include contraception in their employees’ healthcare plans without charging a co-pay or deductible, but exempts churches and houses of worship. Religious-affiliated employers such as Catholic hospitals would not have to directly cover birth control in their healthcare plans, but their employees could still obtain it, without a co-pay, from their respective insurance companies.

The Blunt Amendment Creates a Huge Loophole, Allowing Employers and Plans to Use Religious or Moral Convictions to Eliminate Critical Health Care Services

The Blunt Amendment allows employers and insurance companies to refuse coverage of any health care service required under the new health care law based on undefined “religious beliefs or moral convictions.”  This creates a huge loophole in the new health care law’s coverage requirements.  For example, any corporation whose CEO opposes contraception based on his “moral convictions” could deny all coverage of contraception or any other service to the company’s employees.  Even more disturbing, a CEO’s view of “morality” could potentially include concern for the cost of a particular benefit.  Such broad, undefined refusals would result in millions of individuals losing vital health service coverage.

http://www.nwlc.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/blunt_amendment_fact_sheet_march_2012.pdf

Opponents of the Blunt amendment pointed out that the bill not only would have allowed employers to cherry-pick women's health care options based on moral beliefs, but it also would have rolled back some of the basic anti-discrimination protections in the Affordable Care Act. For instance, under the amendment, an employer could refuse to cover things like HIV/AIDS screenings, prenatal care for single mothers, mammograms, vaccinations for children and even screenings for diabetes based on objections to a perceived immoral lifestyle.

Flop!
“I’m not for the bill (the blunt amendment), but look, the idea of presidential candidates getting into questions about contraception within a relationship between a man and a woman, husband and wife, I’m not going there,” Romney answered.

Flip!

 “Of course, I support the Blunt amendment".

Flop!

“I didn't understand his question,” Romney said on a Boston radio show later Wednesday. “Of course, I support the Blunt amendment.” And in a statement Thursday, Romney praised senators who backed the measure.

Romney: You know, I made it very clear when I was being interviewed by George Stephanopoulos in a debate a while ago.



 Contraception is working just fine, let’s just leave it alone.

Republicans contend that the Blunt amendment, which is expected to come up for a vote in the Senate on Thursday, would reverse the national health-care law’s requirement that all employers, including religious-affiliated institutions, provide health coverage that includes contraceptive care at no co-pay cost to employees.

 “Governor Romney supports the Blunt Bill because he believes in a conscience exemption in health care for religious institutions and people of faith.”

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), came out in support of the measure Wednesday. But most national Democrats have hammered Republicans over the amendment, arguing that it would give employers broad discretion to deny their employees any type of coverage by citing the conscience exception 

Baby Politics! Who Scares me?

The contrast how Kids see the 2 candidates running for President may be the difference in the Election, children don't vote their parents do, especially mothers "Baby Politics" could be the decider. We try to reflect how babies respond to our presidential candidates and the most memorable moments over the past eighteen months.  

Like most Americans up to now Mitt Romney is a mystery and this child may be reflecting those sentiments. A little scared of the man who want to be President and make decisions on my education, grandmas social security, repeal the affordable care act taking health insurance coverage from 19 million Americans while not telling us any specific how you are going to do these things that scares me Mr Romney. 

Playing Baby Politics is dangerous in a military family, thousands of American children are born to military families every year especially while the father is deployed, a very difficult situation for the mother in labor and a worst situation for the father who may be on the Battle field the moment of birth. These military families reflect a part of the 47% that Mitt Romney described as not talking responsibility for their themselves because soldiers pay no Taxes while in deploy. 

Military wives and military children and babies should never be thought of as, "47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what, "there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent on government, who believe that, that they are victims, who believe that government has the responsibility to care for them. Who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing.” 

Military families does not really believe this, the fact is the Romney family has never demonstrated in any way  willingness to defend this country in uniform. No member of the Romney Family has ever served the Militarily. Mitt Romney's father did not serve the military neither did Mitt Romney's or his five sons serve in the military, who then believe they are entitled?. The Romney's have used every opportunity afforded by this country to become successful while ignoring service and defending the very pillar on which their wealth is built. 

The military children who have to grow without  fathers killed in battle and their mothers told by Mitt Romney that they believe that they are victims, who believe that government has the responsibility to care for them. Who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing.” 

Baby whisperer

 President Obama since in office have had some unique moments with children especially babies, he has been called a baby whisperer on several occasions. If voting for either of these candidates depended on how children respond to them publicly President Obama probably would win hands down. We do not vote on a child's momentary reaction because as parents our young ones have their moments even with us.

Mitt Romney, "Big Business Doing Fine"!

Romney, Big Business doing fine!

This is not a Gaffe, Mitt Romney telling supporters, "Big Business are doing fine" every American knows this, most of us work for these Big Businesses and as Public Companies we see the profits every Month.

The other reality is we also see how those Profits are gained on the backs of the workers most of them part Time employees working 16-24 hours per week without benefits including vacation, sick leave and any of the other relief earned by these employees year after year. Health care relief that is at hand comes from the Affordable Care Act that President Obama singed into Law and takes effect in 2014. 

"Mitt Romney has vowed to Repeal the affordable Care Act but, Mitt Romney will not repeal the health care Bill. The idea if the Affordable Care Act is the vision of Mitt Romney having signed a similar Law as Governor of Massachusetts giving 98% of its residents health Care".      

In his first effort to tack back to the center Mitt Romney has admitted what most Republicans know but would try to hide from the American People saying recently:-

"I'm going to champion small business. We've got to make it easier for small businesses. Big business is doing fine in many places -– they get the loans they need, they can deal with all the regulation. They know how to find ways to get through the tax code, save money by putting various things in the places where there are low tax havens around the world for their businesses. But small business is getting crushed". These are Mitt Romney's words throwing out the core idea of his campaign against the current President.

Mitt Romney admitting that Big business have gotten the loans they need and can deal with the regulations was at the core of Mitt Romney's reason for Running for President. Having now agreeing with President Obama that, Big Business the Private Sector are fine, they have the money, they are capable of dealing with the regulations then the Mitt Romney run for President is now an empty campaign.



  

Republican war on women, Legitimate Rape!

"This is not Politics, this is part of the the systematic March by Republicans Party to piece by piece Take away the rights of women returning them to the dark corners of Southern Society and wreck the pro choice movement".

Rep Paul Ryan and Rep Tod Aiken tied by Forcible  Rape!

"If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let's assume that maybe that didn't work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child."

Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.), a U.S. Senate candidate, Someone really saying what the Republicans believe. This was one of the very narrow points discussed by Paul Ryan, Todd Aiken and the other 222 republicans who passed the Law redefining Rape.

The intentions of Republicans is to take away the voices of women overturn Roe v wade apply so much pressure that they become fearful and return to the days of second class Citizens Barefooted and pregnant in front of a wooden stove. This is not fear mongering, since the 2010 Elections Republicans in State Houses and in Congress have introduced over 500 pieces of legislation from restricting the right of women to make Family choices from denying them Birth control and Cancer screening to prenatal Care.

What Rep Todd Akin said is part of the discussion of how we got here, these were anecdotes from meetings around the restrictions of, women's rights by kinning pro choice. The Republicans cannot separate themselves from Todd Aiken, Paul Ryan will still be the Republican Vice Presidential Nominee Paul Ryan will still be the symbol of re-defining Rape or re-classifications of Rape as Forcible Rape. If Paul Ryan's Forcible Rape Law were to be adopted, a woman who is a victim of Rape would be a victim twice, once by her attacker and then before a court of law defending whether her attack was forcible or not. Which woman would want to suffer that indignity Twice?. 

Fairness in Taxes

Mitt Romney chose Paul Ryan as his running Mate in the upcoming Presidential Elections. There are visible similarities, the most obvious is both are men, white, and each have beautiful families which until 2008 when Senator John McCain chose 1/2 term Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate temporarily changed the mentality of the Republican Party.

"I want to be your President but my Taxes is none of your Business'!

For Months Republicans and Democrats have encouraged Mitt Romney to release multiple years of his Income Tax Returns to allay concerns he may be hiding something with earning upwards of $20 Million annually but consistently pays less percentage on this income than the average American who earns $33 Thousand Dollars per year.

Mitt Romney from all account is a wealthy man and may be generous, he claim to donate 10% of his income to charity, without disclosure of his Tax returns the assumption is that the majority of those charitable contributions go to the Mormon Church. From the little disclosure so far the American people learn Mitt Romney pays 13% on his $21 million dollar income in 2010, the average American Pays between 28-38% on incomes from $33 Thousand to $600 Thousand Dollars. Most people under the $33 thousand income level today depending on their deductions could pay no Taxes due to several temporary tax cuts since 2009.

Have more Money pay less Taxes

To re-enforce the Income Tax disparity conversation Paul Ryan this week released his 2 complete years 2010 and 2011 income tax returns. We learn in 2010 on an income of $215 thousand dollars the Ryan's paid 16% Taxes and in 2011 on an income of $323 dollars taxes were assessed at 20%, the Ryan's paid more Taxes on less income than his Presidential Candidate who earned more income in one day than the Ryan's did in a year.Ryan's income of $538 thousand dollars in the last two years is Paltry compared to the $42 million Mitt Romney reportedly earn in the last two years.

"President Obama as part of his economic plan would raise Taxes whatever Americans earn over 1 Million Dollars per year. These income earners would pay the same taxes and enjoy the same benefits as everyone else up to that  million dollar and then the Taxes would be imposed".

Mitt Romney as part of his Economic plan would cut Taxes for all Americans by a further 20% that means Mitt Romney would pay even less on his $20 million income from early estimates this would bring Romney's Tax Bill to from estimates 0-2 1/2% Taxes and his running mate Paul Ryan Tax Bill to about 15% a not so bad deal.

"There is one fundamental problem with the Mitt Romney Tax reduction plan, the American Economy cannot afford another 20% Tax Cut including the richest Americans at this time if we did this the deficit would explode". 

Recently we found out that Americans and American Company's are paying less Taxes than any time in our history regardless of what the Politics insist. Secondly American and International Conglomerates who invest in America have more money ( cash in the bank) than any time in history.




  

Deafening Silence!

"The National Rifle Association cannot defend a AR7 Rifle as a recreation Firearm. 

Bloomberg advocate for aggressive Gun control Law.

A young man armed with an Assault weapon with a Magazine capable of carrying 42  Rounds of Ammunition walked business like into a Crowded Cinema in Aurora, Colorado released what is thought to be some kind of Chemical then raised his weapon and started wantonly shooting innocent citizens. Since the barrage of Gun fire stopped there has been, silence! a unbearable silence by the National Political Leaders in our Country and the National Rifle Association defender of Gun rights. The Lone recognizable voice to raise the Question of Gun Control is the Mayor of New York City, His Honor Mr Bloomberg,  Mayor Bloomberg's call for engaging the Country in a conversation is not new, but the mayor is no longer running for Public Office.

The organisation responsible for the shooting, the National Rifle Association has declined Public comment on the brutal slaughter of 12 innocent Citizens and various degrees of  injury to 59 other people. The injury is not only those physically inflicted by this 24 year old young man, the injury to the relatives including mothers and fathers, wives and girlfriends, sons and daughters, the immediate Aurora community and the further stain on this Nations  recklessness with guns. It  is evident that this has further imprisoned the citizens of this country not knowing, where and when it is safe for a family to spend an evening free of fear.

The National Rifle Association by its silence is admitting its Policy to put the false need for assault weapons as recreational firearm has caused serious harm to the Physic of this Nation. If the National Rifle Association thought Assault weapons in the hands of Citizens was a necessity for recreation they would be making Public statements condemning the use of Assault weapons in the Colorado Shooting. But their silence speaks Volume!

"The National Rifle Association cannot defend a AR7 Rifle as a recreation Firearm. The Leadership of the National Rifle Association is embarrassed by the most recent Colorado Massacre and in keeping with the 65% of Americans, must release your Republican congressional Captives to renew the Assault weapons Ban and support commonsense Firearm Legislation".

President Obama flew to Colorado to be with some victims of this horrific crime and their families, the minimum a President could do under the circumstances, granted the President is also running for  re-election. This President has not shown the kind of Leadership expected on the matter of Gun Control even after the Gabby Gifford shooting. Mitt Romney who singed into Law an Assault Weapons ban while Governor of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts walked back his unyielding support for this courageous Law now that he is running for President as the Republican candidate.

The NRA will continue its happy dance avoiding questions until Americans forget this horrific crime committed at the hand of someone who purchased Firearm and Ammunition's without a trace.

Free Stuff Mr Romney?

Depraved indifference is references is reserved for Minority audiences Newt Gingrich used those references  during his failed bid for the Republican Nomination for Presidency his most famous, "Barack Obama is the Food stamp President". When Newt Gingrich made these references Newt Gingrich knew there were more whites on Food Stamp than there were Blacks or Hispanics but he continued to make the point labelling minority including Black Folks dependent on food stamps.

Tell the truth what's in your Heart!

As Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney did not see ant Free Stuff  he would (providing Mr Romney thought at that time Federal Aid was free) what is evident Mitt Romney embraced all that was sent to his State as Pork Barrel Projects and even vigorously pushed for more Federal Funds.

One should not decry Mitt Romney for doing all he could to search for every Federal Aid of Federal Program to benefit his State. Mr Romney's State was his Family and it was his responsibility to fend for the citizens of the commonwealth of Massachusetts and he did that well. Mr Romney did not consider the Money through these Various programs Free Stuff and they were not free. Mitt Romney would argue the Commonwealth of Massachusetts sends Tax Dollars to Washington and these programs and Aid is a repatriation of those Tax Dollars.

Mitt Romney boast one of his proud achievement success of the winter Olympics where Mitt Romney lobbied the Federal Government and received $1.3 Billion dollars to help him succeed in bringing the Olympics to some semblance of success. Those $1.3 Billion Dollars was never considered Free Stuff while Mitt Romney was able to dole out those not free stuff to his friends in contracts.

Mitt Romney's rivals in the 2012 Primary has assailed his hypocrisy on his love for Free stuff,   GOP rival Rick Santorum also accused Romney Saturday of "hypocrisy" for raising the issue of earmarks given his record at the Olympics. The Romney campaign responded that Santorum was "shooting himself in the foot" over the issue. 

In recent weeks, Romney has portrayed himself as an uncompromising fiscal conservative and criticized Santorum for being a “strong defender” of federal earmarks. “Look, I’m in favor of a ban on earmarks,” Romney said during a recent interview on Sean Hannity’s television show. “I think spending in Washington is out of control.” Earmarks "Free Stuff" is what helped Mitt Romney to put a successful face on the Salt Lake City Olympics

In turning around the 2002 games, Romney got a big helping hand from U.S. taxpayers

Free Stuff. The federal government poured $1.5 billion into the Salt Lake games – more than twice the amount spent on any previous U.S. Olympics.

 Republican Sen. John McCain called it a “fleecing” of the U.S. Treasury. Mitt Romney did not see this as Free Stuff.

“The Olympic Games supposedly hosted and funded by Salt Lake City, which began in corruption and bribery, has now turned into is an incredible pork-barrel project for Salt Lake City and its environs.” McCain said in a Sept. 19, 2000, speech on the Senate floor. Senator John McCain is a current reluctant supporter of Mitt Romney for President.

"You People"

Ann Romney

"We have given all you people need to know and that's all you will be getting", Ann Romney speaking to Robin Roberts about her Husbands Tax Returns. Mitt Romney was not asked to run for the office of President of the United States he put himself forward claiming he is the best candidate because of his business experience.If successful and Mitt Romney become President he will be making policy determining when and under what circumstances US citizens Tax returns should be presented.

One of the long custom in vetting Presidential Candidates is that they declare their Tax Returns for a number of years. Mr Mitt Romney is a successful businessman, a part of that success comes from Tax breaks for investors and other preferences entrepreneurs enjoy when the invest in the United States Economy.

Having enjoyed the benefits of The United States Tax system and achieved Americans ultimate dream "wealth and lots of it" Mitt Romney now refers to The rest of Americans as, "you people" a condescending term reserved for minorities but now "you people" a term of endearment that separateness the American elite or 1% as exposed by Mrs Ann Romney.

I have been thinking about this. Saying "you people" to a white person does not seem any less racist than saying it to a black person or any other group.

"Mitt Romney Minimum Wage $7.25 is Enough"

Federal minimum wage is $7.25. If you work full time 40 hours a week and 50 weeks a year then that's about 2000 hours per year.   I'm going to semi-randomly use California state income taxes as an example.  Your state income taxes are likely to vary but aren't going to be significantly more. 

Mitt Romney Minimum Wage $7.

Mitt Romney has reversed his position on the minimum wage ,  As recently as January, Romney said he was in favor of a hike in the minimum wage. "My view has been to allow the minimum wage to rise with the CPI [Consumer Price Index] or with another index so that it adjusts automatically over time," he told a staffer for a labor-backed group that supports a raise. And he confirmed that stance last month, telling reporters: "I haven't changed my thoughts on that." 

As usual as the Election campaign heats up and conservatives push for clear positions on his Policy Mitt Romney has moved to the position that a minimum wage is not necessary as a basis for pay equity. The truth is most Americans are very happy with the Minimum wage at $7.25 per hour based on recent polls that find 47% in favor of abolishing the minimum wage and allowing company's determine pay based on their ability.

Over the past 3years all US company s have become more productive and profitable, these company's are rolling in cash onshore and in their offshore accounts however wages for their employees have remained at 2006 levels. Company's like Home Depot, Lowe's and Target are now paying less for Part Time wages than they did 12 years ago when adjusted for cost of living increase.

"Mitt Romney was considered an honest man until the current primary Election heated up and Romney was forced to change positions on even the Minimum Wage and Lie to the American people setting aside everything this good man really believed".

The Problem Mr Romney faces is that if  Elected President of the United States he will not be able to move back to his moderate positions with a Republican majority in the house or Senate. Mitt Romney will face worse opposition on his policy's than President Obama even with  Republican majority's in the house and Senate. Mitt Romney will be sandbagged just like George Bush having to give up a lot more to get his policy through to the great detriment of the Country. One of the most dangerous Position Romney may have to succumb to is "Going to War in Iran" a policy he does not believe but committed himself to during the Primary fight with Rick Santorum. 

 Mitt Romney has shown his support for the expansion and tightening of the safety net for Americans in the past him having introduced Health Care in Massachusetts. Mr Romney s temporary Flip or Flop on the Minimum Wage would be interpreted as acquiescent to the right wing or the Republican Party. None of Mitt Romney's rivals for the nomination supported raising the minimum wage, and  Rep. Ron Paul, has said the concept of minimum wage should be scrapped. Romney's new stance may help him consolidate his position on the right, but should hurt him in November. 

Lies or Myth of Mitt Romney

Mitt Romney's ?????????

Mitt Romney may have worked at Bain Capital longer than he's publicly suggested.  Another lie!

Romney has repeatedly said he left Bain in 1999 to lead the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. But according to the Boston Globe, Bain's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission say Romney remained the firm's "sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president" until 2002.

"As Bain Capital has said, as Gov. Romney has said, and as has been confirmed by independent fact checkers multiple times, Gov. Romney left Bain Capital in February of 1999 to run the Olympics and had no input on investments or management of companies after that point," another lie?

Mrs Ann Romney never walked in the ordinary American shoe.

Life Choices

When Mrs Ann Romney decided to become a stay at home Mom, that's the choice she made hopefully with the blessings of her husband Mitt Romney. Most women does not get the opportunity to make those choices in life as  Ann Romney do. She married the love of her life who was potentially rich even if he had inherited his Fathers fortune. Most ordinary American women does not drive a few Cadillac's have houses in various States with elevator Garages or off shore  bank accounts in France and the Cayman Islands. Mrs Ann Romney has never walked in the ordinary American Mothers Shoe.

Mitt Romney claim he did not inherit any of his Fathers wealth, neither did Mr Mitt Romney Graduate from college with not $20. $30. $40 thousand dollars in college Loans. From his speeches along the Primary Election trail I understand Mitt Romney is no ordinary American citizen, Romney was born in Wealth was enabled the best Education while living in luxury. There was no question Ann Romney would not have to work even at the outset of their lives. Through hard work, his good education, and more good luck than bad, Mitt Romney was able to create wealth that Ann Romney would not have to work for a living for the rest of her life Ann Romney knew this when she made her wedding vow.

I do not think most Americans begrudge Mitt and Ann Romney's great success, an almost perfect well balanced family. The Romney's Children inheriting $100 Million dollars from their Father that  the Romney Boys did not even have to pay transfer Taxes on and the interest on any investment is Carried so these gifts From their Father Mitt Romney may never attract Taxes.

The other 99% of Americans does not enjoy the benefits of the 1% like Mitt and Ann Romney and their sons. For the rest of the 99% we are not able to gift our children or Grand Children upward of $10 thousand dollars without attracting taxes and penalties even if we were helping our children to purchase a home or helping them in college.

Choices make us

The conversation is not weather Ann Romney made the choice to be a stay at home Mother! that choice is, does Ann Romney through her various difficult illnesses, affording the best medical care, did not have to feel pain if she didn't want, can she understand the life of  the ordinary woman. Mrs Romney did not have to count the days to end maternity leave or return to work  before she was well enough after each child because her Job did not give Maternity leave to keeping food on her family's table those are real choices! Choosing to become a stay at home Parent is Luxury any woman or recently man choose to stay at home and rear their Kids and wait on their spouses reality 99% of us cannot afforestation those Luxuries and it is Luxury.

It is Mrs Romney's right to speak about her husbands character but while doing so she must also imagine what life is like for those women without planned Parenthood, those women who still want to enjoy the pleasures of sex and love making but cannot afford contraception life's necessities her husband Mitt Romney Says he would deny women who need them or Mitt Romney's support for all the Vaginal Probe Bills . Mrs Ann Romney would not understand the plight of those women who does not have a few Cadillac's but have to take the bus to the Train layered in clothing winter to get to work, or maybe she does, her Maids may have had to take the Bus at some point or her Maid's drive Cadillac's too.

Ann Romney was not an ordinary stay at home Mom she married into a lifestyle one that she has lived for all those years to tell us that's a choice is so Phony. Ann Romney married into the life she knew exactly what it would be like, to tell the American people otherwise is dis-ingenious.
