The Real Mitt Romney

[Adak]

I, unlike you, provided plenty of links for my claims about Reagan's welfare myths.

I'm in California, and Reagan was our Governor before he ran for President, so I don't have to rely on hearsay, from others.

Also, I've worked with welfare housing and school policies, for many years. I've seen how it works, and how it frequently leads to co-dependency:

The recipient has welfare benefits suitable to live with:

*If they get a job, they lose those benefits.

*the job would probably be a labor intensive type of work, and they
would earn low wages.

*If they subsequently lost their job, they would get some welfare benefits quickly, but have to wait a long time to get back their full welfare benefits, again.

So why should they work? They're risking a lot, just to maybe work at low wages. Maybe not full time.

The people who administer and provide support for these programs, will lose their jobs if the program stops. So it's in their best interest to enroll more people in their welfare program.

If you have more questions you can damn well do your own research... or just keep spouting Karl Rove's bullshit.
I have no delusions about trying to sway you, your soul is lost. I'm posting to protect our gentle readers from your misinformation campaign.

Why all the anger?

If Obama had any reasonable successes with his policies, I'd support him. As the first black President, I'd love to see him succeed. I was living in the Deep South during segregation. Yes, it was UGLY.

Problem is, Obama hung out with radicals in college (according to him), studied their ideology, and he's picked up a lot of their socialist ideas.

Some socialist ideas I'd like to see (National health care), but his policy to implement it, is absolutely a complete mindless farce.

His other economic policies are likewise, a disaster. You do know that this is the worst economic recovery in our history?

You can choose to believe Obama's rhetoric, or you can look around, read the stats from the non-partisan budget office, and choose to believe you own "lying" eyes.

There IS a reason, why Obama's budget has never been voted for, by ANYONE, in EITHER PARTY. That's how far out his economic policies are.

You can have your emotional tirade any way you want it, but the above is a FACT, and it won't go away, because you don't like it.

We've had a LOT of political polarization going on in recent years. That's something we MUST get past.

A good plan, is a good plan, no matter who came up with it. And vice-versa, as well.

All of these ad hominem attacks against our leaders, are leading us down the wrong road, to an unhappy destination.

If Obama had good policies and plans during his time in office, I'd be supporting him, but he did not, and does not. He may look smart and cool, and charming - but the President doesn't need to be cool, or charming, or even appear particularly smart. I don't give a rat's patootie whether he appears on The Tonight Show, or not.

He needs to lead us into wise policies and practices, across a broad spectrum of economic, social, and as Commander in Chief, military, matters.

And I don't need the damn EPA telling me I can't use plywood to build with, thank you very much!
