empty vessel making jokes about politics?Quick, somebody ask him. Maybe he'll change his mind on the spot.
Well, I never.

In March, Romney told a high school senior at a town hall that it would be popular for me to stand up and say Im going to give you government money to pay for your college, but Im not going to promise that.
Another Reason why Obama will have a very tough fight on his hands

And Romney till now has been successfully able to moderate himself due to the Media too.
What's that? The party of fiscal responsibility and honest government hasn't been paying the rent? For the last eight months? I'm shocked.ST. PAUL, Minn.—Minnesota's debt-plagued Republican Party faces an eviction hearing next week for its party headquarters after failing to pay its rent payments since August.
The party's landlord filed the notice Wednesday in Ramsey County housing court and a hearing is set for next Tuesday. Minnesota Republican Party Chairman Pat Shortridge told party members in a memo Thursday that officials are trying to renegotiate its lease.
ehh? He didn't say, "I am not going to promise to lower interest rates." Like I have said, there is a lot to criticize him about flip-flops, but simply equating not giving out money with lowering interest rates is reaching. There is plenty to call him out on, but this is pretty petty and stupid.
Good thing Obama isn't hispanic.
But this student loan modification thing also costs the government monies.
While presiding over a criminal case a few years ago a prosecution for operating an automobile without documentation of lawful presence in the United States I asked the arresting officer what, exactly, caused him to suspect that the defendant was not a legal U.S. resident. Because, the officer said, Louisianas immigration statute passed in 2002 relates to someone in the country illegally.
I posed my question a different way: Well, how would you know, again, that a white driver, a black driver, Asian driver, Indian driver, someone from the Middle East, are illegal aliens for you to even ask that question?
He responded, I dont know, I guess.
I pressed further: Well, what makes you ask a Latino driver whether or not he is an illegal alien?
The officers reply was revealing: Nothing. I dont have an answer for that.
Everything costs the government monies. The Govt. isn't giving anything to anyone by lowering interest rates, they are just slowing down the rate that they charge.
That's a distinction without a difference.
Additionally, how is he going to account for his pledge to substantially increase defense spending to 4% of GDP? Altogether, his laughable tax reform scheme, nebulous spending cuts, and exorbitant increases in defense spending produce a massive crater in the deficit. I don't think this is what Empty Vessel had in mind.If Romney continues to support Obama's initiatives, I don't think that will end up being an impressive campaign. I do wonder, when pressed for an answer during a debate, where will he explain how his tax cuts will be funded. What programs will be cut? Where will the savings come from? You may see this as impressive, but he is only going to box himself in eventually.
I'd wager on it being banal and trite with numerous platitudes interspersed. American exceptionalism is unparalleled. We're the indispensable nation. We need to lead the pack, not follow. I could continue, but we know how stunningly facile it'll prove.The media likes shiny things, nothing new.
Rubio To Deliver Major Foreign Policy Address Wednesday

annnd here we go
It would be popular for me to stand up and say Im going to give you government money to pay for your college, but Im not going to promise that. Dont just go to one that has the highest price. Go to one that has a little lower price where you can get a good education. And hopefully youll find that. And dont expect the government to forgive the debt that you take on.
I refuse to believe or support that.
Look, "broham". This student loan extension would cost the government $6 billion. That's $6 billion in revenue the government is losing if they pass the extension. In terms of revenues, what exactly is the difference between that and the government giving away $6 billion in grants or scholarships or whatever? The bottom line is the same.
It matters to the end recipient.
Unless by lowering the rate of interest the government would also be paying out more in student loans (without also requiring payback on such loans...also known as a grant), they are not the same thing.
The effect on the government is the same, but to the student it is completely different.
There must have been a miscommunication somewhere cause I don't disagree with anything you said here.
SO WHY ARE YOU ARGUING WITH ME?!!!
And the problem here is the Media will never mention this. They will just report, "Romney said he supports lowering interest rates"
End of Story.
Republicans have the entire media in their pocket because the moment they ask a reasonable tough question or call out easily proved bullshit they are crazy liberal media.
Are we just ignoring 07/08 when Obama skated through the primaries as the media savaged Hillary, and later when Obama received dominating coverage over McCain in the general? Cry me a river

????????? That didn't address a single thing I said. How the media treated Obama and Hillary (two democrats) 4 years ago in no way makes how they are acting now ok. Dominating coverage doesn't address it either. Obama answered plenty of questions with substance 4 years ago. Something that seems to be absent from this election.

Hey, remember Jeremiah Wright? Bill Ayers? The whole birther stuff?
Lol amazing. Wow. Looks tasty!
This?Where was that thread or article about the republican strategy being similar to Bush "but updated"?
I can't find it, where it be!
I'm convinced that repubs like Romney don't give a fuck about most of america.
It's all about the global economy (that's their playing field), military and relations (absolutely necessary) and those who can aid business on the global scene.
Romney for example is that guy. He just doesn't care, that's why he's able to look at everyone so soulessly. This guy goes to companies and lays people off like they are trash all so he can make some money.

Off-topic: is that a name change for you?Yeah, if only the media had told me about Sarah Palin, McCain's running mate. But no, she was doomed to obscurity.
