How come the Lib Media keeps calling it a gaffe whenever Romney says something painfully TRUE?
We should NOT be apologizing for Free Speech.
The Palestinians are NOT interested in peaceful coexistence with Israel.
And YES the Dems use Entitlements to buy votes.
The more out of touch the media protrays Romney, the more in touch he seems to me.
Is anyone else getting this feeling?
@PoohBear
The 'apology' from our Cairo Embassy read in part"
"We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others"
Now for years I've listened to Liberals tell Christians that Free Speech is PRECISELY the right to say hurtful things about Religion. So why doesn't Obama grow a pair & tell our Muslim friends to get over themselves.
And 'Entitled' means YOU think YOU deserve to live off someone else's money.
Social Security was sold to Americans as a 'mandatory retirement savings' program.
But those 'mandatory' payments weren't saved.
Hence it is now very much an 'Entitlement/ponzi' program. Money is being taken from the young & given to the old. And because no one saved anything, fluctuating economics threatens the program & our Government with bankruptcy.
And Obama is so retarded that his first order of business was to create ANOTHER

Because they don't like the truth.
Watching the media trying to cover for Obama is like watching a cat try to bury a turd on a marble floor.

"We should NOT be apologizing for Free Speech."
No one ever did. This originally came from Romney, who since apologized for misunderstanding the statement. Of course, FOX News still claims that Obama's statements that we have freedom of speech in the US is somehow "an apology."
Romney keeps using the world "entitlement" to describe the Social Security and unemployment programs. Apparently he doesn't realize that if you're paying into a program, IT'S NO LONGER AN ENTITLEMENT.
Sure, to Romney, the $15k/year maximum the government pulls out of his paycheck may not be noticeable when he's making over $20 million a year, but try telling someone who needs to support a family on $40k/year that he has to give up $4/year for social security then tell him he's not entitled to that money after he retires and see what his reaction is.

It's because Biden says so many stupid things on a weekly basis, they are simply trying to deflect what Romney says as things that should not be taken seriously because Biden's comments should be treated as the same. Biden is constant embarrassment to their bid to continue abusing us at the White House, and they need someone or something to deflect those daily reminders...................

Most of the media has joined forces with the unions and the welfare statists to put Obama back in office. Anyone who thinks the liberal media is telling the truth is a fool. The liberal media is a team player in the Obama campaign.

When judgment day comes,I want to be there to hear their excuse for lying,when they were in a position and capacity to make a difference between life or death. They hold the public trust to inform about these people to weed out evil that could come upon our nation. Deliberately lying to protect evil is more than a sin, it is a joining of forces with Satan himself.

Romney paid less than 15% tax 2010 and 2011.Enough said.
The Israelis are not interested in peace as proved by the Palestinian Papers.
It's a funny kind of president that's only interested in representing a percentage of the voting public.

Flip side of this coin is even silence from the empty chair is seen as eloquence, and gives some of them an electric feeling running up their leg. You cannot make this stuff up.

It's no secret that most of the mainstream media outlets are hopelessly liberal and will therefore do anything and everything in their power to pump up Obama while putting down Romney. I don't know why CNN, MSNBC, and some of the others still try to pretend they are fair and balanced, because NOTHING could be further from the truth. The fact of the matter is that Mr. Romney IS, and HAS BEEN telling the truth all along. Entitlements are great, but you have to be able to pay for them somehow without borrowing more and more money. And since 47% of the U.S. population is now getting government assistance in some form (Social Security, food stamps, Medicare, Federally subsidized housing, etc.), or benefits from their state that are paid for by Federal Block Grants (Medicaid), these folks are not too likely to vote for Romney since he wants to see them back on their feet and out there working. Why work when the government will take care of you? In addition, somewhere between 46% and 48% of the people in the country are paying ABSOLUTELY NO FEDERAL INCOME TAXES OF ANY KIND. If they were to go back to work, taxes would be withheld from their paychecks. Why pay taxes while working when you can sit at home and let the government take care of you? And if you sit at home, you don't have to pay any taxes. So these folks who aren't paying any Federal income taxes are also unlikely to vote for Mr. Romney.
The United States was not built on these values. We have been all about self-sufficiency, hard work, taking care of ourselves and our families, and being proud of who and what we are. But somewhere along the way, things have changed because we now seem to be all about sitting back and letting our fellow citizens (through the Federal government) take care of us. Well, I'm sorry. As a part of the 1%, I find that position unacceptable. I have no problem helping the elderly or the disabled, but if someone is capable of working, they ought to be ought there on the job and not sitting at home expecting me to take care of them when they are perfectly able to take care of themselves.
It's funny how everyone is saying there are no jobs. Well, my younger daughter works as a job coach with homeless individuals. Some of these folks have psychological problems, but she gets them into long term counseling while she finds jobs for them. And she has no trouble at all finding work for these folks, and with a job comes a move off of the streets and into transitional housing. From there, they move into permanent homes as they began to work things out with their job and the counseling. As I say, my daughter has no problems at all finding jobs for these folks, and I'm not talking about jobs at McDonald's but jobs with Fortune 500 companies as trainees and/or interns. These are entry positions, granted, but there's unlimited potential there for the folks who want it. So I don't buy the line that there are no jobs. There are jobs out there; the problem is that people don't want them, they want the Federal government to continue taking care of them. This is the message Mr. Romney was trying to get across, and the 47% or so of the folks who are dependent on the Federal government for their survival will never vote for Mr. Romney since he would expect them to go back to work.
P.S. -- I don't know if location makes much difference when it comes to jobs, but my younger daughter works in a very large metropolitan area. Maybe things are different in a more rural setting.
