Mitt Romney has a relatability problem and he's totally concerned with appearances. In Dayton, Ohio, Romney staffers bought relief supplies to make sure the photos looked good, and had empty-handed supporters grab some of the purchased goods on the way into the event to give the appearance they brought goods to donate. Watch it.
Its so darn funny that Christie's cooperation with Obama is making the right wings heads explode. Someone on here predicted that, and I think it was Ron. Mr. drugster is the worst, but then did we think it would be any different? And now. Mr. Mayor Bloombergs, endorsement, and the climate change talk, their heads will never recover from all of this, never. Romney isn't the only one who is sick, they all need psychiatric help!!! Every single one of them!! I have a sister in Ohio, who says she simply cannot wait until the election is over. Me Too! I voted way early, because I am overseas! I voted for every single Democrat that I could find who was running for anything in Washinton State, even non-partisan offices, and of cource Obama/Biden!

Ron, that's funny I have been doing the same thing, clicking on Fox just to see what these people are saying now that there has been a "sea change", please pardon the pun, in this election.
The Bloomberg endorsement is huge, way bigger than Powell in my opinion. He said he was not going to endorse anyone. But his reasons for this endorsement give me some faith in human kind again......1. Women's issues 2. Climate Change 3. Marriage equality. Who woulda thunk???
All that Romney bluster and bullying seems pretty lame now doesn't it? Tough guy with a prewritten script but give him an unscripted disaster and just like Bush & Co----clueless!

I'll be in dumbutt Tx on election night. I plan to drink a lot and watch election returns on the Daily Show. I hope it's an early night because I'm not much of a drinker and I'll have to keep my husband from running outside yelling "hooray, Obama! 4 more years." That could get him shot in Dumbutt, Tx. We voted last week by mail.Straight Democratic.
TAX THE RICH, my Republican husband agrees!

We have finally started separating the men from the boys. Obama/Christie proved to the world that there are more important things than money, status, and politics. And what was also proved to the world was that we really do need government. Government serves a purpose. There are things that just cannot be outsourced. There is no bottom line when it comes to disasters in this country, we rescue, we donate, we re-build. Being from a city that has seen disaster like this numerous times, this really hits home big time.
This disaster is now on a world stage. And so are those who spent 2 years in Congress doing nothing but disrespecting and obstructing this President's every move. Funny how their silence is now deafening.
And to Michael Brown who let an entire city drown and who now has the absolute utter gall to say this President acted "too soon"!!! May he drown in his own horse poop!!

Mitt is a five star phony - buying $5k worth of Walmart crap to hand out to his followers so they could pretend to donate food and supplies to the Red Cross for storm victims despite the Red Cross saying keep the useless crap, send blood and money. When the usual small crowds at his campaign stops are embarassingly small they add laugh and applause tracks to press releases. Busing in American for Prosperity plants for his campaign appearances. At his Nevada speech he tweeted a photoshopped image that increased the crowd size twofold at least. There must be some Republican that has a company that rents women, Latinos, African-Americans, Asians, you name it to attend political rallies. Desperation. I can't wait to hear the lies he spits out at his concession speech. He will probably lie and say he won - they'll have to drag him off the GOP stage kicking and screaming I think I'll throw a concession speech party to celebrate the billions that the billionaires wasted on this dog of a candidate.

Romney must think that the American people are stupid, or least some of them, to feel any real compassion in his handouts. What he's trying to do is to make a political statement that what the people really need, when in this terrible distress, is food, a helping hand from neighbors and just sheer determination to get back on their fee. It's clear that he's not going to mention FEMA, perhaps much to the delight of those who don't want government in their lives. However, I just wonder how the Repubs in these states will feel when Romney tells them to just to hold a fund-raiser.

It was nothing more than a photo op. His campaign staff spent $5,000 at Wal-Mart, handed the items out to the people at the rally to give back to Romney while getting photo's taken. The Red Cross doesn't want those items. Romney has NO clue what is involved with helping in a disaster of this, or any other, magnitude. He's as phoney as a $3dollar bill.

That is who Romney is, a total phony rich guy all about the photo op. Hustle a few boxes, try not to get your shirt dirty, act like you give a shit. Meanwhile, Barack is doing the real job of being a leader.
Romney's approval ratings in 2003 as Governor were 61% after his INITIAL fiscal actions. Three years later they stood at 34%, two away from dead last among all US Governors. Do we really want to sucker in for that policy nationwide? They had their shot for 8 years, and almost tanked the economy completely. Now they want to 'fix' it with the same rhetoric.
Get the wealthy off the gravy train. The crap of Obama redistributing the wealth doesn't fly. The wealth has already been re-distributed from our pockets into theirs with party favor tax cuts for the top that damn near collapsed the country. Its 2012 people, not 1950. The country cant come back if the top is paying a tax % from 60 years ago.

Honest to God, last week we were listening to one of Romney’s speeches and as God is my witness, we were discussing how the audience sounded as though there was an applause track added. The crowd was so menial that the crowd response was bigger than the sound of the number of people actually attending. It was freakish; because we had it recorded and kept playing it back, because we thought that maybe it was just our DVR, or something.
When we watched his phony “can drive”, I was mortified.
Is he kidding, A CAN DRIVE??? WE ARE WATCHING MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO ARE NOW HOMELESS AND STRANDED IN FLOOD WATERS; he calls it cleaning his “ten yards”?
Totally, Totally, UN-BELIEVABLE!
Then, in a speech the next day, he actually compared picking up the trash in a football stadium with Hurricane Sandy…
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY…
IS ROMNEY NUTS OR JUST PLAIN STUPID?
I am not saying that to be harsh or even partisan!
I am totally serious…
THIS GUY WANTS TO LEAD THE GREATEST NATION IN THE FREE WORLD????
What is he going to do next, have a cookie sale?
How in the hell could anyone vote for a guy that every time he opens his mouth you are forced to stop and ask yourself…
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MITT ROMNEY, IS HE COMPLETELY NUTS OR JUST PLAIN FREAKIN’ STUPID?
