   Here is Romney's record.
   1) Create 86,000 minimum wage jobs at staples while enriching himself.
   2) Create a fair healthcare system in Mass. that he now hates.
   3) Spend 16 million on negative adds in Florida.
   Welcome to mitt romneys vision for America. He will lead you to the promised land.
   Next he will propose cleansing the housing market by removing the American people from their homes and renting them back at much higher rates.
   New version of the same vision. You will work hard, suffer and sacrifice, him and his corporate raider buddies, hedge fund managers, corporate CEOs, bankers and politicians / lobbyists will benefit and prosper.

   So long as we have a two-party system and get to choose solely between a Democratic vs. Republican controlled House, Senate and White House, we are going to remain on the path to despair. The USA will soon be a third-world impoverished nation. President Obama talked about change, the Republican candidates talk about change, everyone talks about change. Well, sorry to say, nothing is changing for the better. We need to incorporate a third party into the mix – the Independent Party. And I am only sorry neither Mayor Michael Bloomberg of NYC nor former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura are not running for Commander in Chief. Only then would this nation stand a chance at overall improvement.

   Meanwhile all you have now are the conservatives and liberals bickering back and forth, back and forth in the House and Senate, and the end result? NOTHING GETS CHANGED FOR THE BETTER OF OUR NATION !! It is time to vote ALL THESE conservatives and liberals OOO (Out Of Office) once and FOR ALL !!!!

   "I like firing people."

   Those four words pretty much sums up Romney's ideology.

   Good morning, Mama. I think you're right.

   It's strange; Gingrich wins in South Carolina with a 13% margin and silence from the media. Romney wins in Florida with a 14% margin and viola, he's the nominee and the promised messiah. The media was in the tank for Romney from day one and $15 million worth of negative ads from Romney told the people of Florida how to vote?

   I truly believe the majority of americans realize that we need to keep President Obama in office. The republicans can continue with their clown show. This has got to be one of the nastiest campaigns I can remember in my lifetime.

   @ saywhat

   You can just imagine what the other world leaders are thinking of our political circus. It is an embarrassment to admit these people are representative of our nation. I'm happy we do have a statesman in our president.

   If one travels around one gets the distinct feeling of how far down we have slipped in esteem and credibility during the past decade worldwide.

    Dump them all, here's a good plane , but what else is there? Here it goes...... Take the US divide it up into three sections north to south, give each section a leader and two assistants. Have each section provide a wealth of goods for two of the three. Manufactuerdgoods in the USA , now weve have taken back our jobs send home the illegals, have the states inmates work agriculture, more money saved as well as sending back all illegals. Get rid of all import autos give back our UAW jobs shut down the boarder and start this country all over again. No offense to union workers but abolish the unions. Because the union contractors cant get a single bid right!!! A bid of 30 million naow costs 80 million? This country is already built!!!!! Now that the unions have been shut down it gives every body an equal chance to get a full time job for many years, instead of plugging back in as soon as an job is completed. Now the country is split , is regulated, in three seperate sectors and the US will save lots of money. Ooohhh,, letsnot forget to massively trim all government across the board.

    Nevada–has the same problems as the Sanctuary state of California, Arizona that has been overwhelmed by poverty from the large influx of illegal aliens. The only difference is the legislators in California and Nevada disregard their resident’s pleas for help and still pander to foreign nationals. That's why all Governors, Mayors and every official, who supports this growing plague must be removed from office. Every person who wants the 2006 Real double fence, The Legal Workforce bill, recognized as E-Verify and The Citizenship Birthright Act amended should join the Tea Party or other strong restrictionist's on this matter. Illegal Immigration Costs California $10.5 Billion Annually, with Nevada annual fiscal burden of immigration to be about $630 million (According to the Heritage Foundation.) Powerful interests in the state garner the benefits, while the average legal California family gets handed a nearly $1,200 annually.

    Fortunately it just goes to show that legal immigrants especially generations of Hispanics are against illegal immigration and are for enforcement, by their positive vote in Florida for Mitt Romney. They too are suffering from the indignation as being blamed from the 500.000 that illegally enters America.

    In California and Nevada millions of jobs that should be in the hands of citizens, instead have been stolen by people from across the globe. Huge amounts of expenditures have been growing, because of careless use of Taxpayers’ dollars by politicians. Specific to Border States is the spiraling high cost of millions of illegal aliens pouring in, demanding equal rights to US citizens. 22 million Americans are out of work and President Obama has passed executive orders, so hundreds of thousands of unlawful migrants and immigrants without a criminal record can stay here. Farmers want the cheap labor, as they remain exempt for paying their medical issues or even their children's schooling. Democrats will look the other way in all elections, as illegal aliens are voting and will again through 2012. These are two unfunded mandates that the US government pays nothing towards, and state compliance laws is mandatory and forced upon Americans by the courts. The low estimate for paying for all these unfunded mandates annually is $113 billion dollars. Except to stay here, you have to have food, medical care and for their children and education. Staying here it means you have to commit a felony, as to find employment you must possess a legitimate Social Security number, unless the employer is committing an illegal act themselves. Therefore using some persons SSN is a victim of identity theft and that is a –FELONY.

    As a patriotic Americans people we cannot afford to stop pursuing full, mandated “THE LEGAL WORKFORCE ACT” or mandated nationwide E-Verify. Without it our countries businesses will be overrun by illegal workers in every sector of industry. The circumstances have now become so critical, owing to the millions of jobless citizens, legal residents that our government needs to insist full operation of the computer based application. E-Verify is a valuable tool that has expanded to a growing number of honest businesses that have participated in the removal of foreign nationals.

    There is toxicity amongst the Democrats and Republicans, who have an irrational view and are eager to destroy any immigration enforcement at our undermanned border or tourists who overstay deliberately. As it stands a path to citizenship, espoused as Immigration reform wants to legalize all those already here. Can anybody imagine if foreign countries supported their citizens that America would not be suffering the problems of foreign workers and their families crowding the emergency rooms of major cities, educating their children and feeding off the limited benefits afforded the US population? E-verify must not be undermined or thrown into the waste pit of good immigration bills?

    Phoning 202-224-3121 is the Washington center switchboard, to express your infuriated feelings and anguish at Senators and Representatives of both parties. Obamacare for all Americans will be inundated with illegal immigrants and will just drive more of them into our nation. They keep declaring no health care treatment for any illegal people, but unless the mandated federal bill such as E-Verify is operational, then how can we distinguish from the legal population and those who have broken immigration laws? Under such a Congressional law, the long trek home will begin if illegal workers cannot find a job. Those business owners who fail to comply could end up in prison or fined millions of dollars? All immigration bills need to be passed before Obama tries to pass another failed amnesty, as in 1986.
    DON’T WAIT, MILLIONS HAVE NOT? YOUR VOTE IS THE MOST INFLUENTIAL OPINION AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION? SEE THROUGH THE LIES AT NUMBERSUSA, JUDICIALWATCH.
