So Bain has ties to China? So does our government. Much of the stimulas or "green" funds went to China.

And who can forget the China military funding past candidates.

Bains a private equity company that like other firms help pensions and other funds maintain their benefits. Roberts of KKR recently gave his first tv interview on Bloomberg. I'd recommend watching to learn more about private equity. Like VC firms and "angels" they are an important part of economy. Do they make mistakes and bad bets, sure. But look who's money they are managing. Mostly public employees.

See, http://www.bloomberg.com/video/kkr-s-roberts-we-know-who-we-work-for-8cENQja6QWWhV6AnyI1D9w.html

Let's focus on both candidates plans for this country.

-get over it look what obama has done the past 3 some years jobless rate up people losing homes oh dont forget shutting down a tank company in ohio
MOST IMPORTANT TERROR ATTACK ON 2012 selling out america to CHINA by borrowing money Oh by the way it wasnt obama who saved the auto companie IT WAS US AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO WORK AND PAY TAXES not obama not his money oh 2 billion dollars to a group that hate americans 1.4 biliion tax dollars spent for obama families vacation and other items.OH dont forget about the NAVY SEALS who took out the leader of 9-11-01 Who everyone knows got killed . So you keep saying about bain . REALLY oh by the way our country was built on diversity. And these in washington keep using race to cause trouble for the amercian citizen. By the way Romneys father was born in Mexico . So, as amercia we have so many (race) that can become the president If born here So we have had white bioracial ( black) now a president with hispanic blood . I hope to see a women president no matter what (race) So vote because some famouse person who you like their song or acting yeah and they pay your bills and really. Do they come to your house for dinner do they hang out with you do they let you borrow money when times are hard . Oh, and the feds just bought solor panels for IL. from CHINA

The propaganda machine also known as MSM has been and continues to be effective. Coupled with indoctrination from academia, the celebrity culture and union influence----this country's voters abound in repeating the liberal's talking points.

I love people who cite companies (from a partisan website) to try to make a point. But, the only point they've made is they're ignorant on what they're talking about.

"The propaganda machine also known as MSM ...."

Just like Fox News Channel then, huh? Stay stupid, right-wing nuts.

We are ALL American's. You, me, your neighbor, millions of families across the nation are all American's. Love, hate or tolerate Clinton, he was still a former President. Love, hate or tolerates Bush, he was still a President. We don't all have to agree or get along and have dinner together, but it's important to realize we don't have to in order to live side by side. It's important to see or at least attempt to see from another person's perspective. Walk a mile in their shoes per se. Just because they aren't like you and live up to your "code" doesn't make them low-lifes or blind as a bat. If we were all the same the world would be an awful dull shade of gray. Our differences aren't meant to separate us with hate, malice and contempt, but remind us of how much we really need each other. We were all brought into this world the same way and we will all leave this world the same way, too. And while we're here, we all breathe the same air and drink the same water. We all share the same thread of life. Our blood is very much the same and we can even donate it to another, or donate organs to give precious life. We are the same. We are ALL equal. It's horrible how many American's can't/won't tolerate their neighbors and fellow American's who don't walk down the same path as they do. No one is right. We're all human. No one really knows anything. Fear leads us down a path of stupidity. Wake up.

America was founded on lying, stealing, raping, pillaging, and murdering. Perhaps use a different song as your example?

I think Karen T. is going to be very sick to her stomach when Obama wins Ohio this November!

Who do you think pays for those individuals that do not have health insurance now ?

"Losers Blame."

Which makes Republicans losers, too. And please don't tell us that Republicans don't blame anyone for anything.

Gee, "Glen," how do we know that you're *really* Glen Heitkamp?

Prove it.

since you are leaving the same comment on many sites ...so hows linda in allentown doing ..and tell judith I said hi

Mark - Both candidates spun wildly. Obama didn't create 5 million jobs (see CNN's fact check). In many of Romney's alleged "Lies" are simply his proposed plans and alleged benefits without providing the details.

Politicians always withhold a lot of details when it comes to painful decisions (we need tax reform and entitlement reforms and both include "third rails"), but we need more from both. However, Romney has started disclosing some details that I thought would interest you. Here's a big one:

"Romney's idea for capping individuals’ tax deductions at $17,000 would impose a burden that would fall hardest on the wealthiest taxpayers, who make the most use of the breaks."

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-03/romney-17-000-deduction-cap-first-of-three-part-proposal.html

I think ironic that we were all focused on Romney's, Buffet's and other wealthy folks low tax rates just a few weeks ago. The reason the wealthy pay such low rates is because of our outdated/bloated tax code. Imagine those making over $1 million paying a flat rate of 20% vs 14%, etc.

Jeff, please show your proof that Romney wants to go to war? AND by the way, Obama has had more of our men killed in Afghanistan the Bush. John Bolton is exactly the guy you want in that position. Progressives and Obama have destroyed our standing world wide. Appeasement (which is sadly Obama's foreign policy forte} is the perfect stepping stone to 2nd and 3rd world governments. See Libya, Yemen, Egypt....all now run by Muslim Brotherhood despots....Obama served them well.

Jay I see that logic will not prevail then from the left because the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over expecting different results. Continue to elect Omoron and you continue to help in the destruction of this economy. BANK on that!
Romney is a capitalist who will let this economy run on it's own.

The country IS running on its' own. Please tell us the last time Congress did any work? Speak up over the crickets, wingnut.

Oh, I can't help but laugh at people like you who love to call someone who is the President a "moron", but yet you have no clue how the branches of government work. The prime demographic of the modern Republican Party: morons.

Dude, how old are you? The Washington Post has been on a 20 year shift to being a conservative paper now. Are you reflecting back to the Watergate years?

Also, given that Obama has a huge lead in early voting already, the oversampling would appear to be in line (or possibly even underestimating) what actual turn out is likely to be:

Again, thank you, Joe. A voice of reason & facts. These people need to read & watch the interviews recently given by reporters from CNN, CBS & other news outlets concerning the liberal bias and squashing of stories not complimentary to the WH. The CBS reporer was attacked & raped in Cairo during the so-call Arab Spring----there was no outrage in the US media.
As for celebritites. They will come to your town to pander for the vote but do not think the townsfolk are worth any other consideration. Whyall the celebrity worship? When did they earn a PH.D. in Political Science?
People do not understand that the ballot box is mighty when used properly and an enslaver when used in ignorance.

"A voice of reason & facts."

Please stop. You're embarrassing yourself "helen" (no wonder you're only using a first name...don't want to embarrass those who know you by using a last name). You wouldn't know 'fact' if it was frying in a pan.

"how about you google the question "Is the Washington Post Liberal?" And see what you come up with."

I think that you are listing to the wrong Michael McDonald. This is the Michael McDonald that is singing to you...

Please don't vote for Republicans. They are blindly following fascism as they did with gw. They are no longer the party of Reagan. It has been commandeered by radical right wing tea baggars. You can vote for a Taliban-type government or you can vote for freedom (choice, womens health, gay rights, etc.) and the road to recovery by voting Democrat. Make no mistake, if nyou vote Republican we will be going down a path that we went that got us into the biggest financial mess (second only to the great depression) in our nations history. A complete invasion of our principals. The path that their motto "Believe in America" invokes, meaning believe in the wealthy only, and forget about the 47%. You don't have to become a Democrat to vote against their fascist agenda, you can choose to stay Republican or Independent. But we need you in this fight to save our country and to preserve our liberties for this and other generations. Help us send this message and follow your hearts.

Want more proof that Romney/Ryan are fascists? Just look at the Republican platform!

God Bless the USA!

OMG. Shut up you ignorant, uneducated broad. Are you related to that Republican nutbag broad Kathleen who blogs on here? Because you sound JUST AS UNEDUCATED (borderline brain-dead) as she is.

Please put another layer of tin foil on your head and stifle it. Good grief. Your stupidity has set women back about 50 years. And it's unfair for people like you to bash the schools. It's not their fault you failed to learn anything and chose to remain a moron. You haven't a clue what marxism is. Typical whiny-arse Republican today. Using big words you don't know the meaning of.

Oh, and I'm not a democrat either. So I guess that screws any chance of regurgitating something you heard from either Palin or Hannity.

Bruce Springsteen is an anti-American Jackass and always has been. How anyone listens to that noise is beyond me.
