In the past Romney has also taken sensible positions on immigration, illegal guns, abortion rights and health care.
But he has reversed course on all of them, and is even running against the health care
model he signed into law in Massachusetts.
If the 1994 or 2003 version of Mitt Romney were running for president, I may well have voted for him
because, like so many other independents, I have found the past four years to be, in a word, disappointing.

我之所以轉貼這個,是覺得美國總統不可以是個變色龍,奧巴馬幹得並不好,但兩個裏比,還是奧巴馬相對還好些
是啊,天不助羅馬尼,來了個珊蒂,不過他嘲笑奧巴馬時說的下邊的話,真可謂搬起石頭砸了自己的腳,因為珊蒂就跟 the rise of the oceans很有關係的,
這個是有關民生的一個很重要的問題:
羅馬尼的話(在下邊的兩個links裏):
“President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans.” (pause for laughter) “And to heal the planet.”
(pause for more laughter at that stupid planet) “My promise is to help you and your family.”
“And if you and your family are hit by a hurricane,” that joke might be continued today,”my promise is to gut FEMA.” (standing ovation amid rain of tri-corner hats)

So I guess you support a proved liar and loser like Obama to run another term?
Why I call him a liar and loser - there is plenty of data and information already all over the web.
對。讚成。羅姆尼在我們州做州長沒有拿薪水的是事實。我當時問了周圍的人。他們說他這麽做可以免交不少稅,免交的這部分數額比他州長的工資高多了。他們說這樣的算數人家早做了。羅姆尼在我們州並不得人心。他根本贏不了我們州的。關鍵是他既是一個變色龍更是個偽君子。今天這麽說,明天那麽說,到底他哪一句話可以相信?
商人治國,笑話。
Obama: Longest period of unemployment over 8% since the Great Depression
Obama: Added more to the national debt than ANY president in history and did it in less than 4 years
Obama: Most number of people in poverty in the history of the United States
Obama: Has signed more executive orders than any president in U.S. history in his 1st term, He as signed 200 plus more than 2nd place.
Obama: Gas prices doubled
Obama: Cost of living sky-rocketed
Obama: U.S. debt was downgraded from AAA status for the first time ever
Obama: Federal spending as a percentage of GDP (25 percent) is the highest that it has been since World War II.
Obama: Most people on food stamps in U.S. history
Obama: Real median household income has decreased by more than 4000 dollars since Barack Obama entered the White House.
Obama: The number of long-term unemployed Americans has risen from 2.7 million to 5.2 million since Dumbo took office.
Obama: United States has lost more than 300,000 education jobs.
Obama: Velocity of money (a very important indicator of economic health) has plunged to a post-World War II low.
Romney has been a weathervane that turns around with wind from any direction. He doesn't seem to have any principles.
His stance has changed from pro-choice to anti-choice, from pro-gay to anti-gay, claiming to cut FEMA to not cut FEMA, ... you name it. You can hardly tell what next he wants to do. Just forget about him.
很多媒體帶著偏見報道,誤導了民眾。實際情況是,奧巴馬當政四年,每年的軍費預算都創造曆史新高,比小布什2008年的軍費高50%。
別忘了,是民主黨總統杜魯門開始了朝鮮戰爭,而共和黨總統艾森豪威爾結束的朝鮮戰爭。
別忘了,是民主黨總統肯尼迪和約翰遜開始了越南戰爭,並擴大了到東南亞,而共和黨總統尼克鬆和福特結束了越南戰爭。
民主黨總統克林頓參與了肢解南斯拉夫的戰爭,還有科索沃戰爭。
小布什開始的第二次伊拉克戰爭確實是一個不可寬恕的錯誤,毫無疑問。但是並不能說明所有共和黨總統好戰。
事實證明,民主黨總統更加好戰,在曆史上開啟了更多的戰爭。
奧巴馬上台後,立即擴大了阿富汗戰爭,每年都增加軍費。從小布什在2008年的480多billion,增加到2012年的736 billion。奧巴馬也是一個好戰分子,而且是大手大腳亂花錢的政客!
他的經曆表明,他是一個成功者:
成功的投資者,令許多企業轉虧為盈,從小企業成長為大企業。一個例證就是Stamples,20多年前,它隻是麻省的一個小商店,20年後成為全球著名的連鎖商店,有2000家商店。
成功的管理者,一個例子就是2004年鹽湖城冬奧會。本來鹽湖城冬奧會管理失策,已經到了無法承辦的地步。羅姆尼在2002年接手組委會,迅速扭轉局麵,成功舉辦了2004年冬奧會。而且他是完全作為“誌願者”為冬奧會服務的,沒有任何報酬!唯一的遺憾是,眾望所歸的關穎珊在女子花樣滑冰比賽中,盡管沒有任何失誤,還是不敵超水平發揮的利平斯基(曇花一現,冬奧會後消失了),沒有得到金牌。
成功的政府首腦,他在成功“拯救”了鹽湖城冬奧會後,當選麻省州長,任期四年,還是沒有報酬的“誌願者”。但是他留下的是一連串耀眼的政績:與民主黨控製的州議會合作,通過了醫療保險法案;減少了15億美元的預算赤字,達到收支平衡(奧巴馬當政四年,政府的債務上漲了60%,預算赤字達到三分之一);他任內的州政府,女性管理層雇員的比例是全美50個州政府最高的。
羅姆尼在麻省通過的醫保,經過兩黨充分協商,得到州議會和民眾的多數支持。而奧巴馬的醫保未經充分協商認證,僅憑民主黨當時在國會的多數席位,強行通過,造成多數民眾反對。隨後的國會大選,民主黨遭受慘敗,就是被奧巴馬強行通過醫保法案所拖累!
羅姆尼可以坐下來,召集民主黨與共和黨議員共同協商,通過受到多數民眾支持的法案。但是奧巴馬就做不到這一點。他當政的四年,無法進行兩黨溝通協商,單打獨鬥,增加了族裔對立。這就是兩個人的差別。
這些都是有據可查的,公開的資料。大家可以去維基查看,或者Google。

這個紐約市長我很了解。要說“變色龍”,非他莫屬!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bloomberg
他本來是民主黨人,但是紐約的民主黨組織被非洲裔和西語裔把持,他沒有辦法出頭。前任市長朱利安尼連任兩屆市長,按照規定不能再競選市長。他看到共和黨沒有強有力的候選人,2001年“投機取巧”改成共和黨人參選,順利當選為市長(從2002年一月一日起)。
依靠共和黨的幫助,2006年連任市長後,他貪戀權力,為了連任第三個任期,在2007年退出共和黨,拉攏市議會占多數的民主黨人,修改章程,允許市長連任三屆(以前隻允許連任兩屆)。
他投機鑽營,為了當市長而放棄民主黨籍,加入共和黨;而後為了貪戀市長權位,退出共和黨,為了一己私利而改變市長隻允許連任兩屆的規定。這樣一個牆頭草,一個投機分子,他為了私利,什麽事情都會做。
再說一件事:他還是小布什的支持者!2004年他強力支持小布什。他還曾探討與另一個布什合作競選總統(http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/pulp/2010/06/a_jeb_bush_-_michael_bloomberg.php)。
這一次,他還是一副“變色龍”的樣子:他自己承認,過去的四年令人失望:“... like so many other independents, I have found the past four years to be, in a word, disappointing....” 但是,他卻宣布支持奧巴馬連任。為什麽?因為他想著繼續連任市長,需要占優勢的紐約民主黨議員們的支持。
是的,過去的四年令人失望,是改變的時候了:Yes, We Need a Change.
有人說一個是笨蛋,一個是壞蛋,那俺和親友們隻好選笨蛋啦:)
其實是認真考量過,與LZ同感,相比之下還是奧巴馬好些
覺得選舉結果可能非常接近,也許到時還要重新數票,或進入法律程序
希望早日塵埃落定,大家不用爭了,爭來爭去,有些人變得不像了
說得太好了。補充一點,過去三十年美國的財富不斷向巨富轉移,中產縮水,窮人增多,再這樣下去早晚變成第三世界。前幾天有一個獨立的分析機構說Romney的減稅最終會是給富人減稅,中產增稅。共和黨的窮兵黷武,一個重要原因也是為了圍堵中國,永遠稱霸世界。 以Romney的邪招,大幅減稅,狂增軍費,最後撐不住了,很可能挑起跟中國的戰爭,又轉移國內矛盾,又可以賴賬不還,白拿中國人的血汗錢,又讓大財團,軍火商都高興。別以為這是危言聳聽,共和黨大佬為保護他們的利益,隨時準備發動戰爭。早在97 年他們就慫恿Clinton打伊拉克。現在對他們利益最大的威脅是中國。對我們華人來說,中美和平共處是至關重要的,否則我們的兒子有一天可能死在中國的炮火之下,或者我們的親友死在我們孩子的戰機之下,那將是多麽悲慘。
The White House and State Department watched them die from the situation room in the White House. Obama had Marines one hour away. He had two aircraft bases within an hour of Benghazi. There were C-130 Gun Ships ready to go. BUT OBAMA DID NOTHING.
TECHNICALLY it was an act of war perpetrated by terrorists on AMERICAN soil.
Like Ms. Clinton said four years ago ,when the phone rings at 3 am Obama won't have a clue.
Bush was in office for less that nine months. Untill the Warren commission on the 9/11 attack the intelligence gathering communities were not "allowed" to share information.
Obama has been in office for over 3 years. Obama has supported the Muslim Spring and helped to depose 2 leaders with NO inclination as to who would replace those leaders.
The present administration paied no attention to Amb. Stevens' requests for added security.
右右們哭去吧。這是你們最後的一搏了。你們沒戲了。美國人民用選票拋棄了你們。
這一次選舉將為我們的子孫後代帶來了一片晴朗的天空。美國未來的走向更加美好。
1)永別了,戰爭狂人小布什的8年,給人們帶來的慘痛記憶。願美國從此不再是一個崇尚暴力、窮兵黷武的國度。戰爭給交戰的雙方帶來了沉重傷亡,掏空了美國的國庫,掏空了美國的中產階級;
2)願意美國更加注重科學研究,改善環境、改善普通老百姓(中產)的生活,而不是造更多的炮艦,去養肥那些軍火商和石油商;
3)願意美國加強金融監管,清除金融係統的蛀蟲和寄生蟲。
4)願意美國與世界各國為友,世界需要和平,世界需要合作,而不是到處炫耀世界警察的dictatorship。
在此讓我們想到:2008年9月9日 聯邦德國總理維利·勃蘭特來到華沙猶太人死難者紀念碑下。他向紀念碑獻上花圈後,肅穆垂首,突然雙腿下跪,並發出祈禱:“上帝饒恕我們吧,願苦難的靈魂得到安寧。”德國總理的這一跪,驚天地、泣鬼神,德國總理跪下去了,德國人站起來了。
奧巴馬總統任職初期的中東之行為他的前任所犯的錯誤向穆斯林國家道歉,這也是開了一個好頭,美國人在全世界從此不象前麵那8年遭人討厭,奧巴馬總統這一舉動卻在第三次辯論中飽受羅姆尼的攻擊。一個不知道悔改的民族將如日本。
支持羅姆尼的同胞該醒醒了。有人說:“羅姆尼是個精明的商人,我們看好他能將美國的經濟搞好。”我也勸你別期望太高。如果說富(官)N代的羅姆尼有經營才能,投資什麽都賺錢。那我寧願相信校友美國西北大學凱洛管理學院工商管理碩士溫雲鬆更有商業才華。他們的生意成功對於作屌絲的你我無任何意義,因為他們的成功屌絲們不可複製。
有人說:“羅姆尼反對同性戀、反對墮胎。”我告訴你,他出爾反爾,前後不一,撒謊成性,比如說他開始說反對墮胎,而最新的競選廣告又說他支持有條件墮胎,在墮胎上的態度,他和奧巴馬沒有本質區別。他可以公開撒謊說俄亥俄的JEEP要裁減工人,將工廠搬去中國,而事實是在中國的日產車子萎縮帶來了對美產汽車大量需求而使得GM等汽車廠在中國擴大規模。為了總統寶座,他可以不顧一切、出賣一切。
另外,失望4年後的極右翼從羅姆尼身上看到了布什的影子,開始如打了雞血一樣為他拉票,無非是為了他們所壟斷的石油資源和軍火(殺人)工業。
那麽如果在屠殺和同性戀之間選擇,真正的基督徒不會選擇屠殺。因為“神愛世人”而不是“神隻愛美國人”。
上帝保佑美國!

“Four years ago, the Daily News endorsed Obama, seeing a historic figure whose intelligence, political skills and empathy with common folk positioned him to build on the small practical experience he would bring to the world’s toughest job,” the endorsement in part states. “We valued Obama’s pledge to govern with bold pragmatism and bipartisanship. The hopes of those days went unfulfilled.”
The endorsement also ticks off a list of reasons for why the daily tabloid is backing Romney in 2012 – including smaller paychecks, fewer jobs and higher subway fares and gasoline prices.
“America's heart, soul, brains and muscle -- the middle- and working-class people who make this nation great -- have been beset for too long by sapping economic decline,” the editorial continues. “So, too, (have) New York breadwinners and families.”
Beyond the rhetoric, the paper backs up its decision with a salvo of numbers after the 2008 financial crisis – including a 7.9 percent national jobless rate and nine million fewer jobs.
The 11 papers, according the study, that also switched to Romney are:
The New York Daily News
Long Island Newsday
Houston Chronicle
Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Orlando Sentinel
Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
Nashville Tennessean
Des Moines Register
Illinois Daily Herald
Los Angeles Daily News
Los Angeles Press-Telegram
Only one newspaper, The San Antonio Express-News, which endorsed the Republican presidential nominee in 2008, Arizona Sen. John McCain, has switched to endorsing Obama.
Ohio: Romney 49% Obama 49%
Wisconsin: Romney 49% Obama 49%
Iowa: Romney 49% Obama 48%
Florida: Romney 50% Obama 48%
Colorado: Romney 50% Obama 47%
Virginia: Romney 50% Obama 47%
New Hampshire: Romney 50% Obama 48%
Nevada: Romney 48% Obama 50%
Romney說什麽他自己也不知道了。一天一個樣。最近講love了,乖乖龍的東,韭菜炒大蔥。他除了愛他的魔們教堂,懂什麽愛。在家吃飯一定要搶著第一吃(要排在孫輩前),
Romney is a total jerk, even to his own family. See this video:
http://youtube/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wQd7ywLcmUU
CHRIS WALLACE: So, Tagg, what are family meals like?
TAGG ROMNEY: A little bit of craziness. Dad always goes in line first
because he doesn't want to wait for all the grand children because it
takes forever. Parents are cutting their meat and he's usually
finished by the time the rest of us sit down.

so you supoort Obama because Bloomberg support him? Who the heck cares about Bloomberg? Be a thinker, not a follower!
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie defended his praise for President Barack Obama's support after superstorm Sandy, but said he would stick with his Republican ticket and vote for Mitt Romney in this Tuesday's election.

Obama's achievements....
Jobs: Unemployment 8+% for 43 months (Blacks: 19% (in Chicago), Hispanics: 10%) And, no starting at 7.2% and being at 7.8% for a month three years later is not an “achievement”.
Inflation: Gas $4/gallon, college tuition up 25%, grocery prices UP 20$, household income DOWN $11,900
Obamacare: New TAXES on middle class (someone has to pay for the ILLEGALS). Obamacare: $716 BILLION stolen from Medicare to fund Obamacare
Debt/Spending: $16 TRILLION, credit rating downgraded TWICE, Fed now PRINTING $40 Billion / Month
Jobs/Energy: $6 BILLION given to FOREIGN OIL COMPANIES in Mexico, Colombia and Brazil, while blocking US jobs in Gulf and Keystone pipeline. (Cost 220,000 American Jobs paying $50,000)
Jobs/"Green" Agenda: $994 MILLION given to Bankrupt FOREIGN Car companies (e.g. TESLA), $537 M wasted on Bankrupt Solyndra, US Coal Plants CLOSED, Obama: "Under my plan electricity prices will necessarily SKYROCKET". (Cost 30,000 American Jobs paying $50,000)
Foreign Policy: More DEAD in Afghanistan in 3 yrs under Obama than 8 yrs under Bush (wonder why the Lib media never mentions this?)
Foreign Policy: Ambassador DEAD in Libya, Embassies under attack, yet still giving BILLIONS to Libya, Egypt, Pakistan, etc.
$1 Million Nobel Peace Prize: Attacked Libya, troops in Uganda, Iraq, Pakistan, etc. GITMO still Open, Personal “Kill List” for Drone Attacks.
Education: Chicago teachers score LOWER than students on ACT test in Obama's home state of Illinois. The $90 Billion Obama has wasted on BANKRUPT Green Technology companies run by his campaign contributors, could have been used to create 2,000,000 teaching jobs.
