is credit rating by S&P,laughably at best. Still say it's Willard's close personnel friend BiBi from AIPAC,and his neo-con buddies. Notice how Cheney stuck his head up out of his bunker at a,undisclosed location,to remind us all that FEAR and TERROR are his number one issues. Bullshit Dick,it's all about your Billion dollars worth of Halliburton stock options you took will V.P.,you crook.

I foresee two months of flailing like the McCain campaign did and like Romney has done all summer.

Told to me by an old friend in Washington. He says Rom won't be elected dogcatcher after that.

think that Romney will take Obama apart in the debates. That's what they're counting on. Likewise Ryan and Biden.

They think he is a stuttering, bumbling idiot that cannot say good morning without a teleprompter. They have long forgotten how he make McCain look like an old man in the beginning stages of Alzheimers.

Biden mopped the floor with Palin, and he did it without seeming like a mean old man baeting up on a girl. This was no easy task. He can take the gloves of with Ryan. He will make Ryan look like a 14 year-old boy.

They were never really well acquainted - it was only a marrige of convenience.

I've already started dropping it in my arguments with the wingnuts. Pump up Romney's debate skills so that just showing up and not stepping on his dick counts as a win.

I could see them shifting money away from these losers and into House, Senate, and governors races.

It's Paul Ryan and Mitt revealing his idiocy.

Even low intelligent repubs must have groaned listening to Mitt promise to not take the word God off the coin.
Even they don't believe that Obama has a crew of elves ready to chisel God off pennies!

It looks like they are going to go at Obama's throat. Whether it works or not is another story.
