Keep an eye out for Romney’s lines tonight. We know he’s been dishonest with Americans on his and Paul Ryan’s extreme policies. tonight’s debate is being moderated by Candy Crowley, CNN’s Chief Political Correspondent in a town hall format. Romney doesn’t have any where to hide tonight, and he will have to answer questions from the audience.
How will Romney explain the Romney/Ryan tax plan?
Former President Bill Clinton explains it here:
THE MATH JUST DOESN’T ADD UP
But here’s a tool you can use, Mitt Romney:
How will Romney explain the Romney/Ryan Jobs plan?
Mitt Romney may bring up his five-point jobs plan at tonight’s debate, but his math doesn’t add up — the very studies Romney cites disprove his own claims. This morning, the Washington Post published a fact-check debunking Romney’s dishonest claim that he’ll create 12 million jobs.
The Washington Post’s final rating on Romney’s jobs math? Four Pinocchios. Read the full review here and then share the facts about Romney’s arithmetic with your friends and family.
How will Mitt Romney explain the Romney/Ryan Medicare-VOUCHER plan?
Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan have a plan to turn Medicare into a voucher system — and they say that shouldn’t worry anyone. But a nonpartisan report released yesterday shows that if Romney’s plan had been in place this year for today’s seniors, nearly 60 percent would have had to pay more to get the same coverage that they enjoy today. Report: Seniors will have to pay more under Romney’s plan to turn Medicare into a voucher system Read about it here. and pass it on!
On Massachusetts
Romney likes to brag that he balanced the budget in Massachusetts without raising taxes. But as governor, he created or raised more than 1,000 taxes and fees, including ones on nurses, barbers, electricians, and more. Romney talks a lot about his bipartisan record as governor, but both Massachusetts Democrats and Republicans agree that Romney was an ineffective leader. Check out this graphicabout how Romney’s fees cost middle-class Bay Staters millions, and share it with others.
How will Mitt Romney explain the Romney/Ryan stance on trade with China?
Romney likes to talk tough on China — but he stands to profit from Chinese companies that use the same unfair trade practices he says that he’d combat as president.
Let’s get out the vote folks! OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
WHASSAMATTAU. MITTENS?!!

PRESIDENT OBAMA: “PLEASE PROCEED, GOVERNOR.”

Romney says he’s not “in favor of taking guns away.” Signed an assault weapons ban when he was Governor http://thkpr.gs/RDDzh7
Mitt Romney is a cold bloodied liar!
Mind The Binder
http://blog.thephoenix.com/BLOGS/talkingpolitics/archive/2012/10/16/mind-the-binder.aspx
Hey, I know about that binder! And guess what — Mitt Romney was lying about it.
From the rush transcript:
CROWLEY: Governor Romney, pay equity for women?
ROMNEY: Thank you. An important topic, and one which I learned a great deal about, particularly as I was serving as governor of my state, because I had the chance to pull together a cabinet and all the applicants seemed to be men.
And I — and I went to my staff, and I said, “How come all the people for these jobs are — are all men.” They said, “Well, these are the people that have the qualifications.” And I said, “Well, gosh, can’t we — can’t we find some — some women that are also qualified?”
And — and so we — we took a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could be qualified to become members of our cabinet.
I went to a number of women’s groups and said, “Can you help us find folks,” and they brought us whole binders full of women.
I was proud of the fact that after I staffed my Cabinet and my senior staff, that the University of New York in Albany did a survey of all 50 states, and concluded that mine had more women in senior leadership positions than any other state in America.
Now one of the reasons I was able to get so many good women to be part of that team was because of our recruiting effort.
Not a true story.
What actually happened was that in 2002 — prior to the election, not even knowing yet whether it would be a Republican or Democratic administration — a bipartisan group of women in Massachusetts formed MassGAP to address the problem of few women in senior leadership positions in state government. There were more than 40 organizations involved with the Massachusetts Women’s Political Caucus (also bipartisan) as the lead sponsor.
They did the research and put together the binder full of women qualified for all the different cabinet positions, agency heads, and authorities and commissions. They presented this binder to Governor Romney when he was elected.

Romney Surrogates Lash Out At Candy Crowley
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/17/romney-surrogates-candy-crowley_n_1972389.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — Much of the talk in the spin room following Tuesday night’s presidential debate centered on the role played by moderator Candy Crowley, who stopped candidates from running over time and, in the debate’s most memorable moment, corrected Mitt Romney on his criticism of President Barack Obama’s handling of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya.
The Romney campaign’s top spokesman, Eric Ferhnstrom, said that it wasn’t his tact to “complain about the refs.”
“I think Candy was dandy,” he added.
But if Ferhnstrom wasn’t venting anger about the night’s proceedings, others were. Among the Romney surrogates, there was noticeable anger over Crowley’s handling of the debate. In particular, virtually all of the surrogates argued she had wrongly asserted Obama had declared the attacks on the consulate in Libya an act of terrorism.
___________________________
Mitt Romney chose to go there with lies about Libya and he got checked. Romney surrogates need to take their medicine!
BWA HA HA HA HA HA
He was seething, wasn’t he? Pouting like a spoiled rich kid who doesn’t get his way. disgusting, and so not an attractive look for being president.
President Obama: Duh! Winning!!!!!!!!!
You two are hilarious

Fact check: Romney’s record of hiring women
http://www.boston.com/politicalintelligence/2012/10/16/fact-check-romney-record-hiring-women/r3gqpykaQudNNqigmLZfuJ/story.html
During the second presidential debate, Mitt Romney touted his efforts to hire women as governor of Massachusetts.
“We took a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could be qualified to become members of our cabinet.
“I went to a number of women’s groups and said, ‘Can you help us find folks,’ and they brought us whole binders full of women.”
Romney, however, did not have a history of appointing women to high-level positions in the private sector. Romney did not have any women partners as CEO of Bain Capital during the 1980s and 1990s.
The venture capital and private equity fields were male-dominated, to be sure, especially during Romney’s time. Women started to break into the upper echelons of the firm after it started a hedge fund, called Brookside in 1996.
Today, 4 of out of 49 of the firm’s managing directors in the buyout area are women.

Romney’s Shallow Stance on Immigration
Dear Mitt Romney, next time you try to chop down a tree…bring an ax!
Binders full of women. This says a lot about Romney’s beliefs about where women should belong. Covered, closed, like pages in a book, that he can pull off the shelf and open, let them out, and close the door or book when he choses. SMGDH.
Joe Hayes@sdlaw2006
Romney went down like Apollo Creed to Obama’s Rocky right hook when the Libyan attack & Rose Garden statemetns were thrown into the ring.

Mitt Romney: “Get Rid of Planned Parenthood”
President Obama: “These are not just women’s issues. They are family issues.”
GOOD QUESTION! How are you different from GW BUSH , Mitt Romney?
Women’s issues are family issues. I’ve got 2 daughters and I want them to have the same opportunity.
for 99.99% of the women in the world, deciding when to have a child IS A FINANCIAL ISSUE
This is the TRUTH. Babies cost $$$. I’m still putting out for my daughters and they are married.
Jonathan Capehart@CapehartJ
Romney has yet to say he supports equal pay for equal work.
He won’t answer directly. He goes back to whine about PBO not being right about his LIES! He’s revealing himself.
MITT’S STRICTLY A TALKING POINTS MAN, except for when he’s behind closed doors with the wealthy, beating up on the 47%.
MITT TO WOMEN ON LILY LEDBETTER ACT= i’LL GET BACK TO YA!
Good question, young lady? LILY LEDBETTER, PBO. Wonder what Mitt’s answer is, since he didn’t have an answer regarding fair pay for WOMEN.
PBO:
1. Got banks out of the loan
2. Cut out the middle man
3. Pell grants, Lilly Ledbetter
Mittens: hired a few women
Answer the question Romney. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PAY FOR THOSE FUCKIN TAX CUTS?
Mitt pays 14% taxes. THE MATH DOESN’T ADD UP, ROMNEY!

Just answer the question, Mittens!
Whoo Hoo! Go, Mr President!
Thanks for this, SG2.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous too, POTUS knows this is it, he’s MJ and he needs a three, talk to you after you all do a great job!!!
Jamal; chill, POTUS’ got this.
If I were to advise any one having trouble deciding which of the zillions of screeching, loud mouthed politicians to vote for, I would start by vowing NEVER to spend a precious vote on any of these monkeys who start out by promising to “get rid of Obama Care.”
For those do nothing imbeciles I have a special badge for them to wear. It reads, “I AM A MORON!”
Off topic? Sorry. It just aggravates me that those who do nothing are unable to keep their grimy hands off the work of others who at least try to help the citizens of our country.
Well Ametia, After dinner I’m gonna set aside an hour or two. I’ll catch up with that button somehow. I’ve been waiting a long time to see the details of that mysterious tax plan and I believe I am more likely to see it here than actually hear it from The Wizard!
Right now, my arm is sore and my brain almost as addled as the one issued–(but not used)– to Rush Limbaugh.
Happy debate. If my president doesn’t do a WHOLE LOT better than that first one…I’m heading to the basement with a chair or a step ladder and a strong piece of rope, in search of a sturdy rafter to which I plan to attach what’s left of my hopes and dreams, using my wrinkled old neck as a counter balance. Cheers!
Stop it! Don’t you do that!
LOL No offense, Ed, but you can’t do that. What if your vote was the one who gave PBO the win, hmmm?
bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha
