I am no Romney fan, but the most positive thing he has said was that if he wins, he will probably be a one term President because there are some drastic cuts he has to make.

The only cuts he can be referring to are Entitlements (SSDI, Welfare, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Section 8, AFDC, etc).

Those direct deposit checks and EBT cards eat up a whopping 71% of the Federal budget, and the number is going up exponentially.

Congress has so far been cowardly and ineffective at controlling this, but to be fair, our Community Organizer is a disaster.

The ONLY thing he has proposed "cutting" is health care to our nations veterans.

TRASHING TRICARE : OBAMA TO CUT HEALTHCARE BENEFITS FOR ACTIVE DUTY AND RETIRED US MILITARY!

With everything else, he is "giving it away" with both fists.

What needs to happen are massive cuts to Food Stamps, unemployment checks, complete cut off of money to illegal aliens, and about 10 million people needed to be kicked off the Social Security "Disability" lottery rolls.

Did you know that we are in a full blown depression and that the only reason that the government can deny it is that they borrowed 2.9 TRILLION dollars from the chicoms to spread the wealth to their marxist brethren and that money is now running out? If not for the phony baloney accounting tricks and outright lies... Americans would know that no matter what we do... we are screwed. Did you know that the Social Security program is not figured into the deficit? Did you know that there is now NO MONEY left in the program? Did you know that they have tried to balance the books by stealing those Social Security payments and using them to finance marxist agendas? So much knowledge... so few have it.

Zechariah 7:11-13
  “But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly they turned their backs and covered their ears.  They made their hearts as hard as flint and would not listen to the law or to the words that the Lord Almighty had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets. So the Lord Almighty was very angry.



‘When I called, they did not listen;
     so when they called, I would not listen,’

         says the Lord Almighty.

Over the cliff; and hanging on by our thumbs.

Mitt will give America a 'hand up'.

(We know what Obama is compelled to do; to assure full 'change'. . .) Only one Morally Reasoned choice; for whom we vote to have 'on scene' for rescue.

“Did you know that we are in a full blown depression . . .”

You are correct. The media doesn’t show us the “Obamavilles” spread around the country. Many older RV parks are filled with the permanent unemployed in dilapidated old travel trailers. Tent communities of unemployed exist in wooded areas near many southern cities. Soup lines would be long in every city and town were it not for the food stamp program which keeps us from seeing the 40+ million Americans who are either part of the permanent non-working population or the unemployed whose benefits have expired.

Our government and industry leaders made the decision to outsource much of America’s industrial capacity and over 20 million middle class manufacturing jobs over the last 20 years. Each of those manufacturing jobs would have another 3 private sector jobs in services and distribution associated with it for a total loss of 80 million private sector jobs. The consequences of the grand experiment in “free” trade are now plain to see:

1) Gutting of the American industrial infrastructure
2) The emergence of China as an economic and soon to be military rival of the United States.
3) Unprecedented debt throughout the US economy and an effectively bankrupt US government.
4) The permanent loss of tens of millions of middle class jobs and millions of workers dropping out of the workforce.
5) More than a decade of declining incomes for the majority of Americans for the first time in our history.
6) The emergence of a super wealthy elite class which controls the government and a significant amount of the economy. This elite class has more in common with the elites of other countries Its members prefer to invest America’s resources in social engineering and giveaways abroad instead of domestic economic expansion.

The benefits from the opening up of the US markets to mercantilist competitors have gone to other nations, Wall Street bankers, and Wal-Mart. The American middle class has paid the cost of this experiment in the form of lost opportunity, declining living standards, and less freedom.

The Democrat party, controlled by a small faction of communists/socialists, is in a full out sprint for the cliff where they can leap into that factions oh so glorious utopia. The media, screaming and wetting their panties in excitement, cheering them on. The GOP-E and rinos, with Romney in the lead, are five yards back and mad as L that they wont be able to jump at the same time as their friends.

Both parties are well to the left of the political spectrum when they belong to the right of center. The Democrats slightly right of center and the Republicans further to the right.

He said this to Rush Limbaugh and it was exactly made to order.

Romney can look you in the eye and say exactly what you want to hear.

Those who put any belief into what Romney says are fools.

"Are We Going Over a Cliff?"

No. We've gone over - we're just waiting for impact.

I don’t know about no cliff. I don’t know where we’re headed. But I’m curious as hell about that handbasket.

They do not want America to know the truth until it is too late.
