Lol. I just watched it and it is not anti-immigration. What it is trying to portray is that "Debbiespenditnow" is spending too much money in some arbitrary state and this is therefore weakening the economy and the state and making it possible for foreign competition to come in (not that this is a bad thing).

Also, the women NEVER said ANYTHING about taking jobs or jobs in general.

Not to mention this DEMOCRAT ad is basically the same thing.

Campaign and 2 years ago are two different realms to Romney then.

Your point being? He is running on campaign positions, which he seeks to implement when in office.

Funny that he advocated a national mandate, and told Obama this, just in 2009. The fact of the matter is he flipped his position to appeal better to the GOP base.

CON-immigration

He is Con illegal immigration. No rational person is Con immigration.

Free Soil Party.

1."The Free Soil Party was a short-lived political party in the United States active in the 1848 and 1852 presidential elections, and in some state elections."

Didn't know Mitt was that old.

It was an example.

2. It did not oppose immigration.

But you are.

*they....

No they're not. Democrats on average are closer to the center than republicans...and Democrats have a unique quality called tolerance. They are the reason for many of the positive social changes in America that the Republicans have been forced to agree with now.

Racists are never or at least rarely Liberal Democrats. Sexists are never/rarely liberal democrats. Homophobes are never/rarely democrats. Republicans are the axis of social persecution and religious-governmental fusion.

They are not the same thing and you know it. Democrats are better in every way.

In fact, if you've ever watched that video by Jonathan Haidt, it proves that Liberals are generally more mature and more educated than conservatives.

Of course it does. Having corporate experience helps a President mend his polices to that of the private sector, which is far more important than the public sector.

Bush 41. Bush 43. I found out today that Bush II was born in Connecticut. I was surprised.

Point?

If you want big government, vote Romney.

*Cough*Obama*Cough*

Let's mandate government social morality. Big government is that too my friend.

Mitt does not want to mandate social morality, unlike people such as Rick Perry and Bachmann. Not to mention that Obama is mandating some much worse economic things.

If you want higher deficits, vote Romney.

Under Obama's term, there have been $6.5 billion of debt increase. All the other Presidents combined have $6 billion.

Debt went from $10 trillion to $15.5 trillion.

Term isn't over yet. At the current rate, it is projected to be about $6.5 billion.

If you want a hypocrite, vote Romney.

I lol'd.

If you want a moderate who has actually had multiple successes, vote Obama.

Well, let's start with Hilary Rosen, a Democratic pundit and strategizer for the DNC. She has declared that Ann Romney has never worked a day in her life because she's a stay-at-home mother who raised 5 children.

This is exemplary of the attitude that I see Democrats, both the public ones, and ones I know personally, take, turning up their noses at the option that they don't like. They hate it when a woman who learns her baby might be Autistic KEEPS it, or when a woman decides of her own volition to be an at-home mother.

History shows that the parties each ended up catering to different crowds to desperately hold on to their power. Do you really think that the Democratic party actually cares about anything more than themselves? Do you really think that the Republican party cares about anything more than themselves?

fine.

They've still been on the right side of many social issues whatever the partisan motives may be.... and they still represent Liberalism which I find ethically superior to conservatism.

He's the least conservative of all the candidates.
How can you honestly tell the political identity of Romney? Over the last 10 years, his position has turned from centrist-liberal to hardcore-right wing conservative. It's a fluctuating scale of sheer irrationality, tbh
If you want a hardcore liar, vote Romney.
Obama
Obama has pretty much done what he said he'd do since his campaign, except for marijuana reform, which I'd assume he'd focus on in his second term.

"At a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized–at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who happen to think differently than we do–it's important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we are talking with each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds."

Previous to that, Obama pleaded for "civility" in a press conference in November of 2010 saying,

I do believe there is hope for civility. I do believe there's hope for progress. And that's because I believe in the resiliency of a nation that's bounced back from much worse than what we're going through right now — a nation that's overcome war and depression, that has been made more perfect in our struggle for individual rights and individual freedoms.

While Obama pretends that he's interested in "respectful" political discourse we've seen a parade of Democrats indulging every manner of disrespectful political speech against Tea Partiers and Republicans. But look:

•Vice President Biden saying that Republicans and Tea Partiers are "barbarians."
A Tea Party protestor claimed that the only kind of good communist is a good communist. I think anyone who tries to hold a "civil" protest with the elderly still worrying about the red-scare while brandishing weapons is a barbarian.
•Teamsters President Hoffa Says Republicans are "sons a bitches" that should be "taken out."
I don't condone Hoffa but I'm sure several noticeable Republican politicians have made similar remarks.
•Democrat Andre Carson Says Tea Partiers and Republicans want to start "lynching African Americans."
•Democrat Maxine Waters says Tea Partiers can "go straight to hell."
Just like how the majority of conservatives think (and actively proclaim) Obama is an "illegal-immigrant/atheist/practicing-muslim black anti-Christ" who can, and I quote, "go straight to hell". I'm fairly certain my parents (dogmatic conservatives) think that.
•Vice President Biden calls conservatives "terrorists."
How aren't they terrorists? What else do you call someone who bombs abortion clinics? I think TheAmazingAtheist on Youtube made a very distinctive video relating Republicans to terror acts.


If you want a person who has corporate experience, but that doesn't really matter for a President, vote Romney.

If you want big government, vote Romney.

If you want higher deficits, vote Romney.

If you want a hypocrite, vote Romney.

Obama
Have you taken your medication today?

If you want a moderate who has actually had multiple successes, vote Obama.
What successes? Besides, Romney is a moderate.
You obviously haven't been paying attention to his positions.

Clear choice dude.

The only rational choice (seeing how Paul has no chance) is Obama.

But if insanity, radical theology, and fascism are your thing vote Republican.

We lose ourselves when we compromise the very ideals that we fight to defend. And we honor those ideals by upholding them not when it's easy, but when it is hard.

To be fair Obama doubled down on the fascism that was George Bush.

no, he lightened the Patriot Act by requiring a court order for wiretaps, and did not start any new wars that Bush may have harped on.

He did vote to reauthorize the patriot act, in its entirety.
Killing American citizens with no due process, not following through on the promise to close gitmo. Signing the NDAA.

If you want another George W. Bush with no foreign policy experience, vote Romney.

Obama had no foreign policy experience when he came into office and yet you liberals believe he managed things quite nicely.
He's has been handling foreign affairs extremely nicely. Let's list a few.
Libya: We aided Libyan rebels defeat Gaddafi by sending in Tomahawk missiles, and promptly LEAVING as soon as the affair was over.
Osama: Instead of sparking off an 11-year long fruitless war model, we sent in a small, Virginia-based special force team to take out Obama in an isolated matter (I'd prefer if they'd captured him, but it's over, so I don't care.)
Relief efforts to Haiti, Pakistan, Japan ect.
Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty.
The overall promotion of democratic reform in the Middle East and North Africa.

Romney has absolutely no experience with foreign policy. Well, he has SOME experience if you count all of his off-shore bank accounts.

If you want a severe conservative, vote Romney.

I lol'd.

If you want a hardcore liar, vote Romney.

I lol'd.

If you want a person who has corporate experience, but that doesn't really matter for a President, vote Romney.

Of course it does. Having corporate experience helps a President mend his polices to that of the private sector, which is far more important than the public sector.

Corporate experience like destroying 17,000 jobs and liquidation of business assets? What part of "Corporatism is bad" in the broad scheme of liberal economics have you not learned yet?

I don't see the correlation you're making between private and public sector. Corporate policy transcends into the public sector a la Crony Capitalism.
If you want big government, vote Romney.

*Cough*Obama*Cough*

Mutually exclusive.
If you want higher deficits, vote Romney.

Under Obama's term, there have been $6.5 billion of debt increase. All the other Presidents combined have $6 billion.
Almost all of it either due to deficit spending (which is working, who'da thunk) and the 600+billion/yr war budget shelled out by the PREVIOUS administration.

If you want a hypocrite, vote Romney.

I lol'd.
How do you lol? 10 years ago, he was pro-choice and acted on it, now he' pro-life. He does x, but says y. That is, to my knowledge, the definition of hypocrisy.

If you want a moderate who has actually had multiple successes, vote Obama.

I lol'd and choked on my soda.

...your soda being sold to you by corporate identities, using corn syrup which was acquired through government subsidies to corn farmers to lower the manufacturing cost for the corporations. Checkmate.
Clear choice dude.
