500 Generals and Admirals for Romney..

Retired top military brass push for Romney

Five hundred retired generals and admirals are running an ad in Monday's editions of The Washington Times calling on the country to elect Republican Mitt Romney on Tuesday.

In plain terms the officers, who paid for the ad themselves, said they support Mr. Romney: "We, the undersigned, proudly support Governor Mitt Romney as our nation's next president and commander-in-chief." The ad then goes on to list all of the officers, in alphabetical order, in four columns of print.

Looks like the Repubs are pulling everything out of their dirty trick bag now that it's almost over. Desperation is setting in.

Can't wait for the OBAMA KILLS CHILDREN story around 10:30 tonight.

Worst election campaign ever. All sides, All seats.

I know STEM is where all the jobs are (and liberal arts majors are occupying Wall Street) but I'm not sure this is a good idea...

If Obama wins, I'll fucking SHRUG! wrote:I will tell you what happens, I close my business of 10 years and lay off my employees. I am done. Thats what happens. You might consider me one of those know nothings but I am highly educated, run a high technology company with several very high paying positions and am very much steeped in US History and am a stalwart in the notion of individual liberty and self reliance. Freedom and liberty built this nation, not parasites like Obama and ilk. Obama has never produce anything in his life. Nothing, zero. Yet he is qualified to lead? Really? I have worked for leaders and he is no leader.

The economy picking up is a joke. Really? Where? 100% debt to GDP and counting and for every job created 75 food stamp recipients? I have never seen it this slow and a second Obama term will spell the end. The tax increases alone are enough for me to call it quits. Why, I make to much so pay more of my fair share? Maybe you should attempt to understand the concept of a S Corp and how it's income becomes, for tax reasons, my income. Hence while my income may look very good on paper the vast majority of my income stays as operating revenue. So much for the fat cat theory, no?

Why should I continue to work myself into the dirt just to have it confiscated to transfer wealth to a parasite class? The work requirement for welfare gutted, Obamaphones, the taxes in Obamacare alone are enough to throw in the towel.

[Your column] is a fantasy of deranged and feckless liberal gibberish. What your now calling the mainstream is terminal unemployment and lower standard of living for all but then again, we all know that is the lefts dream right? After all, when your mentality is zero sum gain then making the rich poorer the poor become richer, correct? WHy let reality get in the way of your fantasy? Had the housing market, for example, been left to market forces without government intervention the housing bubble would have never happened but hey, another brilliant idea from the left. Good intentions are all that matter right?

Try this. Open a business, deal with all the headaches for a few years, payroll, taxes, permits, employees and then come back and explain to me how Obama has helped me?

You want jobs, you create them because I am finished. Atlas will indeed shrug and I have no clue whom you and other democrats think is going to pay the tab because there is no money left to burn.

Then again, for the left the end justifies the means. As Milton said;, "better to rule in hell than to serve in heaven?"

That was a sweet article, Peggy Noonan finally having the warm fuzzies for Romney. Lord knows she's been one of his biggest critics the last eighteen months. She blasted him just last September in a WSJ article after the 47% flap, complaining about the incompetency of Romney and his campaign staff, that his was 'not a brave campaign' and 'certainly not undertaking any great issues.'

Ironically, you could say she's flip-flopped and embraced at the eleventh hour the guy she's hounded so long for being a flip-flopper.
