- The difference here is that Romney is saying that he created jobs. He is lying, he bought companies and then raped them of all the cash and then shut them down. He is a blood sucking vampire that preys on small companies. When he is done with them he screws the workers and tries to blame others.

Comments & Feedback

cactusflower18 I am so glad to hear that you believe this

Govt was not created to control, regulate and run our lives or businesses

So you are saying that women should have the right to get an abortion and that gays should have the right to get married, and adopt children. Because right now our government is regulating the last two and if the right has its way they will regulate the first thing I talked about. I am not trying to change the subject, I am trying to point out that you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want government out of our lives for health care, you have to let things like I mentioned alone. Unless you mean to say the you only what the government not to regulate the things that you don't like and screw the rest of us....

I apologize for not getting back to you. I did not see your request until today, heck, I did not know this part existed. Newsvine is my first blog experience.

My answer (& I did go back and post it on the blog) is that I don't think govt has any business regulating any of the 3 things you mention and many more you didn't mention.

I have a question: Did I say something in a difference comment to make you think

Unless you mean to say the you only what the government not to regulate the things that you don't like and screw the rest of us

Michele Bachmann Newsweek cover: Is it sexist?

Seeded on Tue Aug 9, 2011 9:38 AM EDT (Slate)

The Newsweek cover was unnecessarily unflattering. I doubt Newsweek would portray a male candidate with such a lunatic expression on his face. As much as it pains me to admit it Bachmann is a legitimate candidate and major magazines should treat her like one.
