Mittens tells Iowa he will create 130,000 jobs in state without saying how...

VOICEOVER: “Here in Iowa, we’re not better off under President Obama. There’s a prairie fire of debt that grows over $3 billion dollars per day. Romney’s plan for Iowa? Cut government spending. Eliminate the deficit. Create over a 130,000 new jobs for Iowa.”

ROMNEY: “I’m Mitt Romney and I approved this message.”

Are people going to be conned by this shyster? Where's the plan, Mittens?

Romney will get the credit if he gets in...and it's not his,,,nor his policy. Clinton talked about this in a speech he gave for big bucks, then I saw the report. They all know this...so all of a sudden...THEY are creating them. Like children.

12-15 million jobs by the end of 2013 is about a million jobs a month, EVERY MONTH, for the next 15 months. If this were the case, Obama wins with about 70% of the vote and takes all 50 states.

8. I've seen this ad several times today on the tv machine. That one and the one

where some PAC prorates the "theft" of $716B from Medicare for the state. No new Dem ads though. I posted about the Medicare lie ad earlier and the post sunk quickly. I'd like to see some pushback on both.

Romney is in big trouble with our conservative Republican senator Charles Grassley. Romney publicly stated that he would end tax incentives and tax breaks for wind energy.

Wind energy is HUGE in our state of Iowa. We employ 5,000 people who manufacture those turbines. Just the mere suggestion of a Romney presidency has practically halted production. Furthermore, many farmers rely on incentives and compensation that they get for placing the turbines on their land. Romney wants to end that too. We're in the middle of a drought and many farmers will make nothing from their corn. Their turbine-related income is all they have--and Romney plans to nix that. Just to appease Big Oil! More jobs lost for Iowa--thanks Mitt!

Romney didn't tell us how he would create thousands of jobs in Iowa, because he has no plan that would create jobs and he doesn't know what the hell he is talking about!

Obama is now winning in Iowa. The state was leaning R, but is now in Obama's corner.

Romney is such a fool. He will say anything to get elected!

Iowans are not stupid Mitt!

10. How? By doing rich people stuff, of course.

After all, how do you think I got rich in the first place? It's all very complicated, I'm not sure any of you would really understand it.

12. At least the logic is the same. Cut deficit by cutting taxes and create jobs......

by cutting state spending which means firing people. They are consistent.
