Exactly.

Libs dont understand money or business.

That is why we have so many new people on welfare because they way they do things hurts the business and loses the creation of jobs.

Obamas take over of GM lost almost 50,000 jobs nationwide but no one talks about that.

Record shows that Romney has a net GAIN of jobs, Obama a net LOSS of jobs.

If you need a job or want to keep your job vote for Romney. And actually want to earn your own keep then vote for Romney because he will bring jobs to America.

If you want to live on welfare or off the rest of us working tax paying people then vote for Obama and get your free food, housing, cell phones etc.


* added

Obama bet on Solyndra and cost us taxpayers 535 million.
Obama lost 1100 jobs went they went bankrupt.
On one hand he wants credit for GM but wont take any blame for Solyndra.
He cannot have it both ways.

Now Obama hits a tariff on solar panels. Hey stupid, your about 2 years too late.
Why didnt you do this 2 years ago knowing that Solyndras business model was showing losses before they started?

Obama is a little late to the party again.

So your position is that business is completely amoral and should be entirely focused on the single metric of making a profit to the exclusion of all other mitigating concerns.

Do I have that right?

Given the large number of incredibly successful liberal businessmen and businesswomen, the absurdity of that claim can't make it past the first four words.

So now that we've gotten the silly posturing out of the way, let's see if you actually have anything worthwhile to say.

What exactly is "the way they do things" that you have in mind here? Bonus points for actual examples.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the GM bailout saved more than 1.14 million jobs in 2009, and an additional 314,400 jobs in 2010. Do you think it is possible that you could have picked a worse example to defend your point?

I'm not sure it is.

What "records" are those? Exactly? At this point it would appear that you are simply making stuff up. Almost every Bain investment of which I am aware, even those that managed to keep companies alive involved a net loss of jobs. I would be fascinated to see exactly who has done these possibly imaginary calculations and how they did them.

Yes. The Democrats are getting desperate with their fear-mongering tactics.

They are just the latest whipping boy for Obama since Romney is associated with them. Otherwise they wouldn't even be on Obama's and his re-election team's radar screen.

Give the woman kudos for comprehending a point so painfully obvious that it actually subtracts from the sum total of all human knowledge to be explicitly stated.

Yes... Bain is being examined because Romney ran the thing for many years; i.e. Its record is his record. In fact, Romney has chosen himself to run on that record in the effort to establish his credibility as a businessman and job creator.

In short.... "Duh."

Yes its Romney who is claiming to be Mr big business on the strength of his experience at Bain capital, so that claim makes his tenure with Bain fair game for political scrutiny, so far he's been rather reluctant to give specifics on the work he supposedly did there.I wonder why..

What are some specific things that they have done that irritate you so much? And how does that make them responsible for ruining America?
