“I just returned from the fortune teller. She told me that after Mitt Romney wins the presidency in November, the next day the 8 percent unemployment will become 11 percent unemployment and the Obama recovery will suddenly change to the Romney depression! Yes the so-called, mainstream media, champion of Obama, will finally come clean!”
“I was on the 101 this week and cars were going by me like I was standing still. Speed limit 65 and I was doing 70, and 80 percent of the drivers were women in foreign cars. They would speed until they caught another car and then cut into another lane and then cut off the person and go back to their original lane. I am surprised there aren’t more accidents. We should bring back the speed cameras.”
“Regarding the Aug. 28 1-cent sales tax Vent: When the state lottery was first proposed in 1980, it was supposed to fund education — or am I the only person in the Valley with a memory?”
“The Romney campaign called me and requested a $3 contribution (they must think I’m still a Republican). The nerve! If he wants to be president, he can certainly afford to buy the election himself. I’ve been unemployed/underemployed for years (but not for lack of trying), so I think he should send me $3 so I can buy three Mega Millions lottery tickets. (Actually, I don’t really need a massive cash surplus, I just want to be able to pay my bills, like I could before the world went crazy.)”
“If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything!”
“Looking forward to seeing the East Valley Trib’s coverage of Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton’s attempt to live on a food stamp budget for a week. Perhaps it will enlighten some of those angry Venters who seem to believe that those receiving food assistance are living on government provided ‘easy street’.”
“Most Americans are concerned about jobs! Toyota employs over 7,200 Americans in Kentucky making body stampings, plastics, engines, and others parts that are assembled into Camry, Avalon and Venza automobiles. Seats, wheels, window glass, brake assemblies and other components are made by suppliers in Kentucky, Indiana and surrounding states. Perhaps the Toyota Venters should visit the Georgetown Kentucky plant to appreciate the impact to our economy and American employment.”

A record 60% of Americans say they have little or no confidence in mass media to report the news fairly or accurately - an increase of 5% since just the last year. 40% have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the media. Republicans (26%) and independents (31%) less likely than Democtats (58%) to trust the media. Gallup poll I have noticed the East Valley Tribune lose many articles that do not follow their views.
When George W. Bush passed large tax cuts in 2001 and 2002 , what followed was the slowest decade of growth since WW 11. But after Bush's father and Bill Clinten each raised taxes in the earley '90s, "the economy boomed." Indeed, a new, nonpartisan analyist by the Congressional Reaerch has concluded that since 1945, change to the top tax rate "do not appear correlated with economic growth". The New Times

Vent #1: I sure hope Mitt wins. There has been no Obama recovery, it's all been wishful dreaming from the MSM.
Vent #2: The 101 is either a bumper car game or a NASCAR race track.
Vent #3: I forgot about the lottery money going to education. Another good reason to vote NO on prop 204.
Vent #4: Years of under or unemployment. Does anyone really expect anything to be different if Obama is re-elected?
Vent #5: The liberal/progressives just can't bring themselves to believe that Obama is a failure and that his policies are not based on honest or moral values.
Vent #6: To many generations of our citizens have lived a comfortable life on our welfare system. It's time to cut back and make welfare the last possible alternative. After all, how many cellphones do they need.
Vent #7: What happened to Government Motors (Obama Motors)? Toyota Camry is the most American made car?

Where is the budget for the country been for the last three years ? answer Its been buried by the dems,Maybe if you left your parents basement for once you might realize that.

speedbird....The republicans are the ones that give out the tax breaks and subsidies to these "job creators" to invest in making the jobs they promised. The republicans made the deal, so they would be the ones to ask. This is the "trickle down" economics that after 30 years still hasn't worked.

Vent #1, I don't believe for one nanosecond that your so-called "fortuneteller" said that, and secondly even if she did, it would not be Romney's fault if the unemployment rate went up to 11% on November 7th. He won't become the president until January 20th. So if that were to happen, and I pray that it does not, it would not be Romney's fault. We have a million fewer people working now than when Obama took office. That is 100% Obama's fault. He said that the unemployment rate wouldn't go above 8% if his stimulus bill passed. Guess what? It did pass, and the unemployment rate actually went ABOVE 8% and stayed there for months! He also pledged to cut the deficit in half. He raised it to $16 trillion, higher than any president before him. Another broken promise.
Obama had both houses of Congress for two years. He could have passed anything without Republicans' help. Yet he did nothing with immigration and national security, which are closely related.
If Romney wins, and the unemployment rate goes down during his tenure, I'm betting ANYTHING that liberals will give credit to Obama.

By the way, Obama got his clock cleaned last Wednesday. If Obama loses the next two, his performances can be described with these three words:
STINK! STANK! STUNK!
I'm betting Al Gore the Bore won't be able to blame the altitude for Obama losing those debates, since they're happening at lower altitudes.
I hope Joe "Bite-me" Biden says a lot of stupid things at the Vice Presidential debate on Thursday. He's really good at that.

Sorry your hopes were dashed, mrcon.
But hey, at least we know Ryan is limber...he stuck his foot in his mouth at least a half dozen times! LOL

Romney/Ryan: 3, Obama/Bite Me: 0.
