Default The Only thing the Right can Sell is Misery

I saw the good jobs numbers today and everyone says it is really pretty good across the board. But then I heard Romney's camp and all they could do is complain. I realize that that seems to be the entire theme from the right. There seems to be real effort put into finding negatives all the time until they get the White House. I really think that is their entire plan. You can't root for America's comeback because you don't control the White House. I am glad I am not on this pesimistic side of the aisle. The right even got pissed off that Christie and Obama were civil to each other. How sick is this shlt?

I am tired of the right's negativity. I am tired of their scare and fear tactics. Their negativity and hate. Their faux conspirosies. Their underserved swollen egos, Their bad memories, Their lies, Their backseat driving, Their driving,

I hope the right gets stomped this election and has to regroup around a less partisan rightwing and a more inclusive conservative dogma.

YOu can spread all the BS you want, but next week we will most likely have a new President and hopefully two branches of Congress that are going to work to make things better. I predict that if this happens, we will see REAL economic recovery and hopefully the American people will see that Democrats can't govern worth a hill of beans. Honestly, I think that the last six years will end up being good for this country over the lang haul, since it has exposed the incredible incompetetence of the Dem. party to lead and will hopefully lead to the eventual death of this collection of fools (the leaders, not the electorate).

The economy is on the mend. If by some slim chance the salesman wins he will reap the rewards of this. Maybe you can run Christie next time but I doubt if people feel like playing gambling games with the economy again which seems to be Romney's only plan.

The right has fought the President for four years. So angry to have lost the election.

The right hasn't fought the President, the President has fought the right. We will win this election and we will begin to rebuild the damage done to it over the last 6 years. The only real question is whether the American people will learn from this experience and stop voting for people who have proven themselves incapable of governing.

"On the mend" because private enterprise is seeing that there is a future since we are going to have an increasingly conservative leadership and that's good for business. BTW - I still haven't gotten a reponse to my question about what policies the OA put in place that have driven economic growth... Have you had some time to put together even a partial list???

That is so much bull. Dude we have been right here watching this foot draggers and ideologues. The tea party creeps that hurt our credit ratings by playing games with the debt ceiling. The right has done much to hurt the recovery for partisan reasons.

President Obama did not cause the economic problems we now have. He inherited them from eight years of Bush. He's done an admirable job considering how dire the circumstances are.

It isn't just our own country that's in trouble. The world stage is full of economic strife and we have the crooks in business and trade to blame for that.

Also waging unnecessary war and using up all of America's resources.

Once again.... The economy only turned down when private enterprise saw that Dems. were going to take control of Congress. Pres. Bush had very little to do with it. There were policies that the BA pushed for that contributed to it, but it was the loss of confidence by private enterprise that was the driving factor. Everythign else came about as a result of this. Now, we are seeing private enterprise seeing a light at the end of the tunnel and they are turning things back on.

Look, You have no plan. Romney has no plan. You all repeat mantras and have no idea what you are talking about. Like Regulations. You are so excited about cutting those nasty ole regulations. You don't have a fucXing clue what regulation is hurting the economy but you will google up something. Same thing with the BS idea that business isn't investing because of uncertainty. That is the biggest pile og BS that you guys repeat. It's just made up crap that you cannot quantify. If a company isn't going to invest and make profits because their tax might be a tiny percentage increase than they are too chicken shlt to be in business. Why would you turn away profits because you might have a 4% increase in taxes? It doesn't make sense on it's face. The reason companies are not investing is because demand is down. You have to build from the middle out. Not the top down. If you can't understand these simple realities of business then you shouldn't vote on economic issues.
