i never made any such claim that Obama had the ability to spend campaign money before he was nominated, I said he could (and did) use taxpayer money to push governmental policies

You answered my cited quote of Seahawkgirl. Take a few minutes and backtrack.

You asked for a resource. You got it. It refers to my earlier post that you asked about. Read it or don't. I don't give a crap. But, if your alzheimers has kicked in and you don't remember asking me for a source, then you might need to sit the next few plays out.

It's a source from 2008. Both Romney and Obama have rejected public money for this election. They're bound by the same rules. Thanks for the alzheimers reference. And you're a nurse right? One of my parents had alzheimers and the other ALS. Would you like to make a change and have me suffer from something a little quicker?

Most of all, I want to see Obama defeated. Most of his policies reek of socialism, and they will not improve the economy. Nearly four years of him in power has pretty much proven that. The stimulus, the cash for clunkers, the massive health care package, and so on have not made things any better. In fact, while these government handouts had good intentions, they have really done nothing more than stall recovery and made things worse in some cases. The national debt has skyrocketed since Obama became President ... and I thought G.W. Bush was bad in this regard! People's health insurance rates & prescription drug costs have increased (not decreased) since the passage of Obamacare. Are we better off than we were four years ago? Most of us seriously can't say yes to that question.

We need somebody who will reduce the size of government, cut spending, and turn most federal programs over to local/state control, or the private sector. We need a distinguished successful businessman who will run the country like a reputable business. I see Romney as the best Republican candidate for President since Ronald Reagan. It's time to give him a try.
