"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government." (Thomas Jefferson)
The nerve of Romney to try and score political points on Libya once again underscores he will say and do anything including hurting our national security if it gets him votes. This time it backfired when Candy Crowley told Romney that Obama did bring up act of terror the next morning after the Libya attacks. Romney went out with his press release attacking Obama before the President even knew four of our people had been killed that night. Romney wanted to score political points on the night of the attacks the same as he did last night. Romney and his advisers don't have the decency to wait until the investigation is complete before launching their attacks.
I said exactly the same thing about the Democrats attacking President on the photos released from Air Force One as he was flying to Offutt AFB, NE, to a secure facility the night of 9/11. Politicians of both parties would be better served to keep their mouths shut and allow the President to hand foreign affairs.
Obama takes on Romney's comments and schools Romney about his job as President and Commander in Chief while Romney just sets there with a pained look because he stepped in it but then Romney comes right back again which shows a total lack of class and when he got shot down with the facts.
Right after the debate Romney, his wife, and family immediately left the debate forum while the Obama's stayed for 45 minutes talking to voters, signing autographs, and having their pictures taken. That says it all about who won the debate and no amount of spin from the right can changed what happened or the number of lies Romney told.
Romney with his penchant for lying scares the living daylights out of me.
Here are some links from the debate. Couldn't believe Fox News reporting Crowley tried to 'walk back' her remarks but she never did as she was on with Anderson Cooper later last night confirming what she had said. The media of the right will say anything to prop up Romney just like Republicans. Lies make zero difference to these people as the links below prove:
Arrogance of NRA is simply stunning - for an organization who used to be about gun safety now the bottom line for gun/ammo manufacturers trumps all as the NRA lobbies for them.
According to Think Progress, “NRA: Practice Range” is billed as a “network of news, laws, facts, knowledge, safety tips, educational materials and online resource” for the organization.The National Rifle Association released a new app on Sunday that includes a gun range equipped with coffin-shaped targets, and the option for players to simulate using a military-grade sniper rifle.
The app includes what it calls “9 true to life firearms,” and allows players to download an MK-11 sniper rifle setting for 99 cents. The rifle can shoot 750 rounds per minute.
Dems/GOP Fighting -- Will they Finally Work Together for the Country? Will replace this image when they do. (11/07/2012)
Quotes
"We will be told that the causes of such violence are complex, and that is true. No single law, no set of laws can eliminate evil from the world or prevent every senseless act of violence in our society, but that can’t be an excuse for inaction. Surely we can do better than this." President Barack Obama, Newtown, CT, 12/16/2012

"I don't think that the way to correct a spin from the left is to try to impart a spin from the right.... [A]n information flow distorted from the right would be just as much a disservice as distortion from the left. What we really should be after... is accurate information. And I don't see what any conservative or anybody else for that matter has to fear from accurate information." M. Stanton Evans

Former Senator Alan Simpson (R-WY)
“For heaven’s sake, you have Grover Norquist wandering the earth in his white robes saying that if you raise taxes one penny, he’ll defeat you,” he told CNN back in May. “He can’t murder you. He can’t burn your house. The only thing he can do to you, as an elected official, is defeat you for reelection. And if that means more to you than your country when we need patriots to come out in a situation when we’re in extremity, you shouldn’t even be in Congress.”

John Stuart Mill was a 19th century political philosopher:
"I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it." John Stuart Mill.
