the republican party has moved so far to the right ronny would`t stand a chance.

There is a reason why he's still revered as a "saint" within his party, and Eisenhower gets barely a mention.

At least Reagan was willing to work across the aisle with guys like Tip O'Neil.

Like his policies or not, Reagan was likeable, as he really understood the essence of communication and persuasion. He was als an oprimist, and that inspired people. Clinton knew this too. So does obama. Today's Reagan disciples don't get it. They're all mean, negative and narcissistic. As a result, they're creating a hate-filled society. Reagan would never approve.

..."Romney was not a businessman, he was a master financial speculator"..

That language we can easily understand.. Thanks, kpete

"language we can easily understand.."

7 commercials can be made from this, easily

The article is a gold mine!

...but didn't find it already posted, although I may have used the wrong terms.

There has been precious little discussion in the media on one of the most dangerous and devastating features of the Romney-Ryan tax plan: the complete elimination of taxes on the overseas operations of U.S. corporations.

The Romney home page calls for the nation to “switch to a territorial tax system,” which translates into an end to taxation of the profits piled up offshore by American-based corporations. This radical step would create huge incentives to ship U.S. jobs overseas, where they would never face U.S. taxes, and to manipulate corporate earnings reports to claim that profits generated in the U.S. were actually produced offshore.

How much worse can things get? The U.S. recently finished a decade (2000-10) where it witnessed major U.S. corporations vaporizing 2.9 million jobs in America while displaying their prowess as conservative-deified “job creators” outside the U.S., where they chose to set up 2.4 million new jobs, according to the Wall St. Journal (4/19/11)....

...Tax expert David Cay Johnston, Reuters correspondent and author of the just-published Fine Print: How Big Companies Use ‘Plain English’ to Rob Us Blind, warns, “The Romney-Ryan plan would insure that any profits created offshore by U.S. corporations would never be taxed by the U.S. government. This would create a tremendous incentive to move more and more U.S. jobs overseas to escape taxes on the profits that foreign workers produce for them.”

ronald regoan perverted my chuch. and was sponsered by big oil . esp : ghetty oil of ca . he was run into the governor ship of ca and look at the mess we are in now . he was also sponsered by said same oil company, and he ruined the country and set the stage for obama to fix it, along w other good democrats. if we have romney, the stage is set for total ruin and we have our selves to blame .i am happy to see 3 true balanced budgets in this country under a sitting president . carter . clinton . and obama .(this is work in progeress). dont know about kenedy as i was very young at that time . i pray and hope we dont vote stupid again.

Can someone post this on FB?

"Romney loves America like a tick loves a dog.

HOPE my family-in-law, and some misguided high school classmates, will see it.

Just rode in, looted one place after another, and left.

...to the Reaganites until he saw how the whole trickle-down program was just a cover story enabling Wall Street to do exactly what Mitt and his minions went and did.

talking about this, especially on CNBC.

Romney started on third base and thought he hit a triple. Mitt Romney was not a businessman; he was a master financial speculator who bought, sold, flipped, and stripped businesses.

Never ask a question unless you know how it will be answered.

The sealed complaint was finally made public last week. This could be big and according to some legal experts could forever change the way leveraged buy-outs take place. The alleged bid rigging took place just one year after Romney stepped down as Bain's President but I'll bet they find out the criminal activity took place even during his tenure.

would fall for a JP Morgan, JD Rockefeller, gambler, Bernie Madoff or whatever you want to call this swindler.

In other words:

They want to elect the guy that owns the bank?

The highest marginal income tax rate every year Eisenhower was president was either 91 or 92%. Ike was. of course a republican. Now the democrats, if they had all the power, would not raise it to even half that.

Stockman is hardly the only old school republican to split with the new, now far right, republican party. Barry Goldwater hated the new breed and others like John Danforth, John Dean, and Craig Paul Roberts, have no use for them either.

In simplest terms the democrats are largely now the new republicans and the republicans are about as right as you can get.

Clever manipulation of low info citizens has worked. If you doubt the low info part watch some old Jay Leno "Jaywalking" bits.

It is on the Democrats to get out and vote to prevent a disaster. I can see Romney getting his hands on as much as possible and running to the Caymans. He is a thief.

Yeah!
