Romney/Ryan - "What's our is ours. Anything that's left might be yours.......for now"

Either way it spells R&R for them and likely T&T (toil and trouble) for us.

That girl wouldn't be wearing a Chinese uniform if Romney was President.

Yes, and then she would have a choice of (four) more colors.

Both Romney and Ryan pressed the fact that Ryan was a man who got things done in Congress. The things he got done in congress in his 13 years? Re-naming a post office and an excise tax on arrows.

Not to mention how pissed Maid Marian is going to be when she finds out how much she'll now have to pay for her birth control under R&R.

Was that the removal of a tax on wooden arrows ?
If so, all Oregon businessmen LOOOOOVE him.


Ummmm.....
There's only one company (3 employees) in Oregon that makes wooden arrows.

Joe Biden 8/14/2012
Quote:
Romney wants to let the — he said in the first hundred days he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, ‘unchain Wall Street.’
They’re going to put y’all back in chains.
Biden was telling his black audience that a Romney-Ryan administration would put the people to whom he was speaking (“y’all”), i.e., black people, back in chains. What other meaning could his statement possibly carry?

Biden's remarks were certainly ill advised, but both sides seem to be playing low and dirty.

Quote:
Romney wrapped up his own bus tour Tuesday, closing the trip with a sweeping indictment of Obama's campaign. "Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago," he said in Chillicothe, Ohio, insisting that Obama had abandoned his 2008 campaign's messages of hope and change.
And the fun is only just beginning...

He's accurate. Conservatives and repubicans want a cheap labor force, and want to keep all the power and money for themselves. They even want to keep the vote to themselves!

Taking quotes out of their context, as always.

Quote:
"(Romney) is going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, unchain Wall Street," Biden said at a campaign event in Danville, Virginia. "He is going to put y'all back in chains."


Biden later clarified the remarks at an event in Wytheville, Virginia suggesting his comments were in reference to House Speaker John Boehner's use of the word 'unshackled' in talking about Ryan's House budget proposal.

"The last time these guys unshackled the economy, to use their term, they put the middle class in shackles. That's how we got where we are," said Biden.

"And I'm told that when I made that comment earlier today in Danville, Virginia, the Romney campaign put out a tweet. You know, tweets these days? Put out a tweet, went on the airwaves saying, 'Biden, he's outrageous in saying that,' I think I said instead of 'unshackled,' 'unchained.' 'Outrageous to say that," said Biden. "That's what we had. I'm using their own words. I got a message for them. If you want to know what's outrageous, it's their policies and the effects of their policies on middle class America. That's what's outrageous."
I don't assume when someone says y'all or even 'you people' (as in you people are ruining MY LIFE...oft heard phrase in my business) to mean black people. THAT'S outrageous in a overly PC when it suits you kind of way.
