Ted Rall for August 06, 2012

Hey, that’s not what Romney said, only the logical conclusion of his reasoning!Wondering if any of our conservative complain… errr, I mean commenters will tell us why anyone should actually vote for Romney, as opposed to voting against Obama, besides lowering taxes for the upper income earners.

The idea of continuing the policy of greed and moving wealth to the wealthy is not appealing. Vote out the party of no and the tea partiers. Give President Obama some support in November.

You people keep Snopes and Politifact in business.

@right – 4) personal history is an open—if boring—bookSeriously, that’s one of your talking points? Let’s open that book on your term as governor, gov. Or let’s open that book on your income and taxes paid over the last decade. Or let’s open the book on your overseas tax shelters..Oh – those books will never be open.

Like voting for Herr Mitt or Beloved Leader is going to change anything…what’s the definition of insanity again…?

If Romney’s personal history is an open book, why won’t he release his tax records like his father did?

20 thru 11 seem like good reasons not to vote for mitt.10) Amazing. He shows respect to people from other lands. Although Obama bowing will seem perfectly reasonable when you look at this:http://fromtheleft.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/bushkissingsaudiprince.jpg9) Knowing how to make proffit, is not knowing how the economy works. His tax plan is a good example of that.8) Problem: Not enough profit. Solution: Fire people (we know how much romney likes to fire people) Some problem solver.7) Would more than likely spend a third of his presidency on vacation. Like past republican presidents.6) Proof that you have no idea how the market works5) BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA4) Who were his previous ministers? Wheres the birth cirtificate? Tax returns? When will the right vett this guy?3) The only people saying Obama thinks hes god, is the right. BTW, Obama also believes in god.2) Now what could THAT possibly mean?1) Good reason not to vote for willard

The Sikhs preach tolerance, and equality, and while providing the British Empire with some of it’s finest soldiers, believe in peace. THEY do NOT have their own country, based on a religious premise that DENIES “rights” to the folks who owned the land, and have been driven into economic, and social crisis by occupation.

LIke Muslim, or Christian fanatics, the problem isn’t so much the “religion”, as the fanatics who’ve taken it over.

MItt doesn’t comprehend OUR culture, or economic and social problems, how is he supposed to function on the world stage, where he obviously, KNOWS LESS!

10) won’t bow like dunking bird to world dictatorsLike Qaddafi and Mubarak? Seriously, try to come up with someone who wasn’t given an arms deal by his predecessor.9) knows how an economy worksI don’t think Romney knows how the economy works. Lowering taxes on the rich just doesn’t magically create jobs. The last successful businessman to be elected President was Herbert Hoover. 8) problem solver, rather than creatorWhat does that mean? I said be specific. The GOP hasn’t been a model of compromise on anything.7) would rather work than golf or appear on EllenReally? Bring me Obama’s calendar and let’s see how many hours he works every week. Meanwhile, Romney made a run to the hardware store today. Guess he needed to pick up a few tools so he can fix the economy.6) very presence returns stability to marketsThe markets have done pretty well since 2009. It’s us working folks that have cause for complaining.5) is not a laughingstock around the worldAw, snap! Have you missed the entire “Mitt the Twit” debacle?4) personal history is an open—if boring—bookOther folks got this covered, I’d like to know how Romney managed to grow an IRA that stretches the bounds of credibility. I’d like to know how he “doesn’t remember” if he paid less taxes in the past than he did in 2010.3) believes in God, doesn’t think he is God.Last election Obama was criticized for his church. Now he’s not even a Christian. Ridiculous. Since it’s important to you, are you sure you’re ok with Romney’s religion? I really don’t care, nor do any non-evangelical voters.2) looks Presidential (better hair)Gee, you forgot to add that Romney looks more like a Founding Father and Obama looks more like one of Sally Hemmings’ kids. Finally, you get to your point: Pure racism.1)HE’S NOT OBAMA.And you fail completely in reading comprehension. If my only reason to vote for Obama was that he isn’t Romney, I would be feeling pretty bummed out.

^Have good friends who are good people, and Mormon. I’ve tried to work through the books, but, well, weird. I don’t buy chariots in North America, or the gold plate bit, but that doesn’t make them “bad people”. Of course, we’re not in Utah, Northern Arizona or Nevada, where it IS oppressive to NOT be in the Mormon majority, so it IS “different” than being totally immersed.

what am I getting into? I thought this would a fun place. Comics should be funny, political humor is good, if not so one sided.
