5. "President Obama said unemployment wouldn't go over...

...blah blah blah...where are the jobs, there aren't any jobs..."

ALWAYS spoken by a Republicon. I just want to go ballistic on them!

They forget that the reason we're in this mess in the first place is because of the Bush years. They also won't acknowledge that their beloved GOPers in Congress haven't done anything to CREATE jobs, in fact they've done everything possible to PREVENT jobs from being created.

Then there's the deficit: "Obama has run up the deficit." Well, no, not really. The main reason for the huge deficit is the (temporary) Bush tax cuts, the two wars, and the pharmaceutical bill that became a cash crop for that industry, all thanks to George W. Bush, a Republicon.

Another one that really gets me is "Romney knows how to create jobs, he's a successful businessman..." Ugh. Have you heard about Sensata? Don't you think Rmoney is a hypocrite for condemning Obama for not creating more jobs when his company is at this very moment off shoring jobs to China?

I'm sick of it. I'm tired of hearing about the birth certificate, fed up with the smaller government crap when they want to start regulating women's reproductive systems. How's that going to work with smaller government? Seems that alone would require a whole new department. I resent extreme right religious beliefs being forced onto everyone else.

The people who say these things are either nuts, extremely uneducated, very bigoted, or full of hate. Or maybe a combination of all.

Sorry for the long post, but reading the OP struck a nerve this morning.
