   I guess all those “advances” to which Mr. Oliphant refers is code for “Ways to transfer wealth from the industrious to the voting indolent”.

   I don’t think I’m alone in saying I am sick and tired of Democrats demonizing self reliance and independence. Every time I turn around there is an Obama, A Pelosi, or a Harry Reid expounding on the merits of Government playing Robin because somehow I am in debt to complete strangers for their: Food, Housing, Medical care, … fill in the blank.

   Anything will be better then Obama and Mr. Romney has shown himself to be a smart capabable man. All Mr. Obama has acomplished is to sew is class warfare.

   You mean Romney is not going to pick Donald Trump?
   Dang! Maybe Sarah Palin? Rick Santorum? Rick Perry?

   The dog thing has really been beat to death; give it a rest already.

   As someone who had the “blessing” of Romney as governor, I can say there are lots of people worse than Obama.

   Dawg is right!
   Mittens will manage to succeed in dragging the country right back to the era of the “Great Depression” with his economic plans!
   Only this time around, 1929-1939 will look like a minor economic hiccup!

   The problem is, the voting indolent are also those who own congress. The industrious – primarily small business owners – are thwarted at every turn precisely by the wealthiest because they make laws (okay, they make their lackeys in Congress make the laws) that benefit them and hurt everyone else. The amount of OUR money that goes to corporations is pretty impressive – no, it’s outrageous. You worry about welfare – you should be worrying about corporate welfare.

   The last 70 or 80 years? Reagan started undermining them in the 80s and it’s been a war of attrition ever since. There’s not much left of those advances now.

   If Obama could “sew” class warfare, I would be impressed. I’ll settle for the vegetables Mrs. O has sowed in the White House garden.

   “Advances?” What advances is he talking about? We’ve been sliding into the socialist economic abyss ever since FDR!

    Polls say his approval rating is lower than G W Bush’s. Yow.

    Hear, Hear! The economy isn’t going to “Recover” the way they want because “We the SHEEPLE” are tired of getting “Fleeced”
    I’m working just enough to pay the bills, the rest of the time I read and Study (They can’t TAX What’s in my Head)

    More and more it’s the lobbyists who are writing the laws, not those whom we send to Washington to represent us.

    @Mephistopholes

    No, sorry. The wealthy declared “class warfare” when they declared, “what’s yours is ours”
    They only call it class warfare because they have no legitimatel way to justify stealing from the Poor and Middle Class.

    But please: don’t let the FACTS get in the way of what Rush Limbaugh tells you to believe

    Typical Tea Bagger reasoning: Bush f***ed us, blame FDR.
