Another distraction. That`s all we will see from now until election day. I`m hoping Romney will brush this stuff off and go after Obummers dismal and dangerous record.

I'm sorry, but all these "distractions" from conservative politicians mean something. They are indicators as to how they truly feel on the matters.

I agree that Obama has a dismal and dangerous record. So does Romney. Romney's record only gives lip service to liberty whereas he has shown little desire for true liberty.

When America wakes up to the two-party two-step, that is when things will change for the better.
This November, I will be yawning at whomever of the two is elected because both essentially are the same. The difference is only in degree.

Dismal record? Hahahahahaha! Killed Bin Laden, saved the economy, saved the auto industry, took out Gaddaffi, Lily Ledbetter, credit card reform, wall street reform, UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE (BFD), new GI bill, ended DADT, ended the occupation of Iraq, 9/11 First Responders Bill, 17!! tax cuts for small business, largest tax cuts in history, STOCK Act, START treaty, etc. etc.

That's just the short list of his accomplishments.

If last night is an example, Romney is on target!! He said:

Four years ago Barack Obama dazzled us in front of Greek columns with sweeping promises of hope and change. But after we came down to earth, after the celebration and parades, what do we have to show for three and a half years of President Obama?

Is it easier to make ends meet? Is it easier to sell your home or buy a new one? Have you saved what you needed for retirement? Are you making more in your job? Do you have a better chance to get a better job? Do you pay less at the pump?

If the answer were “yes” to those questions, then President Obama would be running for re-election based on his achievements…and rightly so. But because he has failed, he will run a campaign of divers

But because he has failed, he will run a campaign of diversions, distractions, and distortions. That kind of campaign may have worked at another place and in a different time. But not here and not now. It’s still about the economy …and we’re not stupid.

What do we have to show? See the list above. All the stuff not coverd by Fox News.

Call it a win for President Obama, or a win for bipartisanship, or a win for students. However you see it, the House Republicans have offered a solution to the student loan interest rate hike that loomed in July. The bill, which the House will vote on this Friday, will keep the rates from doubling 3.4% to 6.8%. Essentially, the biggest difference in the GOP proposal from the Democratic one stems from where the money comes from, with the GOP attempting to avert a tax increase. 

The House legislation would cost roughly $6 billion and would be...
