Broken link.

Pointing to a site does not prove that you, "pointed you to the 159 page Romney plan on jobs a dozen times." I call your bluff. Where did you do that?

I just tried on a different computer and different network. The link is not broken. Try again.

However, it takes less than 30 seconds to find it at MittRomney.com.

Sorry, I have better things to do than retrace every post I've made in the last 2 months, since I'm now at around 2,000 posts during that time.

We have electricity again :)

I can't blame Obama for "eroding the American Dream" --

economic history evidences otherwise.
This has been happening for 30 years; deregulation, and business and economic policies have created this situation.

Consider the move in corporate mindset to quarterly profits vs. long-term growth and from full-time to part-time jobs. Consider the financialization of our economy, and the practice of wealth extraction. Consider the march of unnecessary offshoring and outsourcing.

It's an ethos that has been long-standing, and is deeply unpatriotic imo.

Obama didn't create it, he was in office when the full effects of the last round of destructive policies came to roost on Main St. US after crashing the global economy.

Read history on types of financial/economic crises and this one in particular.
Here's the link to an article on this crisis and recovery again:

Sorry, U.S. Recoveries Really Aren’t Different - Bloomberg

I think, as Americans, we should explore the issues and history - including economic history.

A failure to engage in a serious consideration of the causes of this crisis means we will never be able to really figure out what the "fix" is.

We'll just be engaging in the same ridiculous, shallow, politicized go-rounds that allowed us to avoid reality and land in the hole the before.

I'll address later. I have been worried about you and in prayer for you. Glad you are safe. Any damage to your home? What a terrible mess. I was at work when tornadoes destroyed so much on 4/27/11. I was one of the last to leave to go home, and barely missed intersecting with an F-5.

No problem.

But for the record, if you ever did get the chance to check it out, I think you would find the assertion you made is false.

I'm SO angry over this, it caused me to decide to vote AGAINST the current socialist/muslim leaning regime in current power:

I agree, but it will take a leader willing to work with BOTH parties. Obama said after the election, the GOP will at war. Doesn't sound like he has any intention of working with Republicans, just more my way or the highway philosophy that has us on the verge of a fiscal cliff and deep plunge back into the 2009 recession.

Traitor. Obama apparently knew what was happening, watched it happen, told forces that could have saved lives to stand down, then he hopped on a plane to campaign in Vegas. Since he professes he said from the Rose Garden address that it was an "act of terror", he also admits that knowing this he chose to go campaign anyway.

The sad thing is if we elect Obama, it is very possible that he will be impeached.

So you were a supporter of the 'socialist/muslim' up until a few months ago?

Obama committed treason only a "few months ago" so I can see why a conscientious person would change their mind.

But treason isn't synonymous with either socialist or Muslim (although Obama is neither). So, if one believed Obama acted in a treasonous fashion recently, but was a socialist and Muslim leaning person all along, what does that mean in regards of support?

Jeff, he can't be a traitor in reality... for he never really did sware to uphold the Constitution, now did he? But he feigned it and that's good enough for me.... just wonder if the Congress is ever going to bring charges... I really thought they would by now, just not too soon to allow for someone else to run in his place.

I could be really depressed if this was all I saw... but I keep looking UP :)

Well, if so, it will all be over soon. But, just in case, I am voting Mitt Romney. I was an independent until I witnessed the first few months of Obama's first term. Now, I am a Republican.

Did I miss something at his inauguration? He didn't really swear to uphold the Constitution?

He didn't sware on a Bible, he swore by himself.

Jeff, I helped in McCain's run... being basically a Federalist... but even he succumbed to some power to allow Obama to win. It could've been God... but??? God does put those into power according to HIS wishes (and determinant upon the people's faith in Him...) does He really need my vote?

Arrrggghhh! Every election has been won/lost by 10 million votes or so...and last election 100 million Christians (registered) failed to vote. NOW who put this marxist into power?
