Romney is coming to Florida again to tell us that he is going to create 12 million new jobs. Unfortunately, we will have to travel to China to get one. I actually would like to see a Romney rally in person. I hear that whenever Mitt Romney speaks at a campaign rally, the crowd is very diverse. There are white people there in their 50s, 60s AND 70s.

Q: Why isn't Mitt Romney campaigning in Massachusetts?
A: Because they know him there.

It is amazing how many lemmings can appear there. He will be with Connie Mack. Man .... he does endorse the loosers. Even the Snooze Press in Lee County (Macks old home town) won't endorse him. They endorse Robmey, but not Mack. Hmmmm, go figure, even republican media won't stand behind Mack.

Hi Ms. Johnston, if you check out Temple Terrace Patch, you'll see that we covered President Obama's Tampa rally rather extensively. We also have a story on the Patch homepages about Hurricane Sandy with coverage coming in from our sister sites in the Northeast. We know the storm is of great concern to our readers and we're delivering coverage from towns throughout the impacted area. Thanks for reading and for your comments!

No one up north slows down when we are having a hurricane. Your President has been campaigning since the day he took office. He didn't stop when 4 brave Americans were killed on 9/11/12.

Nancy,
Romney didn't stop either, so that is a bad agrument. Please do not play politics with the terrorist attack.

We are going to tell BO to go home, to what ever country he came from!

Donald, By your reasoning, we should tell Mitt Romney's family to go back to Mexico. After the election, the American people are going to say to Mitt: Adios and Vaya con Dios!

Wow! I don't have to say anything more. Your comment is a perfect example of why voting for Obama is voting for a higher ground. I wish you well and hope you get over your issues. :-)

I'm with you Sheree. What a wingnut! Mr. Tomasi please take your medications now you'll be able to afford them Thanks to Obamacare

Rollo, After reading your comment, it makes me happy to know that we are supporting different Presidential candidates in this election. The good news is that you may have a future in talk radio when Rush Limbaugh retires.

I lovedthe 47% speech, confirms what i have thought. Go call someone on your Obama phone. You Black messiah doesn't carry Florida. consider it done!

Tell the truth, you are not a Republican, you are a liberal doing what liberals do that is lie.

Donald,
And Conservatives don't lie..... hmmmmm... "Read My Lips No New Taxes" ... "I had no knowledge of a possible attack on 9-11". Lying happens on both sides.

Well Dad of three (father of one, we know your wife) All you liberal trash types love to use two things ONE all problems in the entire world are Bush's fault and two if you do not like Obama you are racist. He has done nothing he did nothing before he took this job and has no clue what he is doing. but for all that evidence you libtards keep touting him why? (you're stupid of course) But past that he is your messiah and is a cure all for all the worlds ills according to you. hence your Black messiah. BTW he be looking for a gig soon so maybe you can help him out.

The idiot BOWED to the Chinese premier!!! BOWED his head. Never in the history of the U.S. has a president bowed to another leader. It made me want to throw up. he is disgraceful and should have been thrown out then. The U.S. does not BOW to anyone. you liberal trash insurgents do not get it. and never will.

@ Rollo T. -- I agree with you, there was nothing wrong with the 47% speech. There's no way to keep everyone out there happy. It's kinda like this blog that we're on here, there's about 47% of the people on here who just 'don't get it'. So, we really shouldn't worry about them.

@ Dad of Three -- Obama is the one who pays for the majority of his votes. He keeps all the uninformed & ignorant voters on payroll - by way of the MiddleClass. I'm sure he'll bus in his fan-club from the ghettos and Section8 housing from all of the worst parts of America just to get their vote (just like he did 4 years ago..)

Either way, Romney will come out on top. Obama will get fired and will be buried by by the press and the Military for the way he tried to cover-up the Libya incident with his terrible foreign policy ("non-policy").
- he'll go back to Chicago where he will reunite with his mentor, Jeremiah Wright and live the rest of his life - hopefully to never interfere with the American people ever again.. He's done enough damage for one wrong 4-year term.

BO doesn't have to think he is the puppet of George Soros!

This is all very simple, if you like socialism and a lot of free govenment stuff vote for BO, if you like capitalism vote for Romney.

I am afraid the middle class is broke, BO has picked their pockets clean and given their jobs to the Chinese. BO has stolen GM stock from old folks and given it to the unions. BO has taken our tax money and given it to his rich donors so they can pretend to create green jobs not to mention the 900 million he is giving to HAMAs!

Donald,
Please the socialism agrument is old and not factual. The middle class was broke well before Obama. I guess you didn't hear about the credit bubble crashing in 2008. As far as the stocks, I believe that deal was brokered by President Bush's administration. You forgot the first perimeters of the ballouts were done by Bush because that is convenent. Yes, Obama didn't create as many jobs as he set out, but as Governor of Mass neither did Romney. 47th in job creation per capa, that is out of 50 states.
As far as Mr. Chubre assumption Obama cares about the middle class, neither candidate cares about the middle class.

Just the facts:
January 3rd, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush's policies SET A RECORD 52 MONTHS of JOB CREATION!

January 3rd, 2007 Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?

THANK YOU DEMOCRATS for dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Socialist Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES! Democrats own and operated this economic crises.

Who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac? OBAMA

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.

If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.
In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is "I inherited a deficit that I voted for, and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th."

Donald,
Love how you like to only point to the Democrat errors but the Republian errors. I associated to neither. So lets see here a true majority of the Congress didn't happen until October 2009. When seats that were contested due to illiness and questionable voting, so Obama had a Democrat Congress for approximately 4 months. So by you no financial mistakes were made from the Legislative branch from 1995-2007 Republican Majority. And if they were mistakes it was the Democrats fault. Donald wake up, this isn't a Democrat or Republican problem it's an American problem. No single Democrat or Republican got us in this mess. And regardless if Obama or McCain was elected in 2008 we would be having this same conversation now just with an different incumbant.
As far as your Bush set a record for job creation, I noticed you didn't put how much bad loans were credit on his job creation legislation from 2002-2007 which was approved by a Republican Majority Congress (can't be). The Credit Bubble was 30 years in the making, but it wasn't just Fannie Mae/Mac. Stop looking at the world through Partisan eyes and start looking at it through that of an American Problem.
The conservatives that blame Democrats for everything are just as bad as the liberals who blame Republicans for everything. You both have the hand in the cookie jar on the economic recession. Stop infighting and start fixing.

I need no meds. I can see clearly is all it is you that are blind (and stupid)

as an independent voter who will not be voting for President Obama, I agree that we should always respect traditions,Including a traditional bow .respect is never out of line for other countries and I hope that these countries will always respect our traditions as well. thank you relsic

Come January BO is going to Bow out !

Obama has no respect!! even your own propaganda ObamaTV station MSNBC noted that Europeans think Obama is a novice and take advantage of him all the time. They respect him the same way a John respects a whore.

I think you better take off your blinders MIke; as Obama is not respected around other countries - he has weakened our economic growth & military. Wonder what he and Putin have up their sleeve that he can't discuss until after the election; then he would have more flexability. Putin then said, we're behind you 100% - Does that not scare you in anyway?

Another frightening aspect of voting for Obama - has anyone checked Obama care - anyone who is 70 plus would be insane to vote for him. Example: You have an accident and you're taken to the emergency - Dr. is NOT PERMITTED to treat you until it goes to a board of 5 who will more than likely look at your age and decide if you should be treated. You could die before they would get back to the hospital. Immediate treatment many times is what saves you.. My mom is 91 - she works, dances and is full of spirit. She has macular degeneration; if she can no longer afford her own insurance she would have to depend on Obama care. Do you think at 91 she would be approved for treatments, NO, they would allow her to go blind because her life spam at 90. At this time, there are two representaives visiting hospitals informing them of what Dr's can and cannot do. I am told they could loose their licenses if they treat anyone (over 70) without approval from the board.

As far as Romney respecting women, I would definitely put my financial welfare in his hands and the welfare of my children and grandchildren over Obama's.

You should check out BO's staff, the few women he has make way less then the national average for women. BO is a cheapskate, he gives almost nothing to charities (as is the case with all liberals) compare that to Romney's 30 million for charities over the last 10 years. Check your facts Mike!

Mike,
Where does Romeny say he doesn't believe in equal pay?

Donald,
The staff and president are underpaid positions by corporate standards. And donating to the church and calling it charitable when you church demains it. Not exactly charity. And personally as an independent voter I don't care about charitible contributions on either side. You wouldn't either if your candidate didn't make a big deal of it.

because you are a minority and basically retards now you are down to counting paragraphs!!!! moe-ron

Why do liberals always accuse Republicans of the crimes liberals commit?

Why do most label others....place people into categories?? The D's are generally the worst at this; they like to place every person into their own little category.

MIKE, I've addressed your issues multiple times and you've yet to respond to anything.

What world do you live in believing it's only the R's who wreck things and only the D's who care?

Do you not see how they vote? 40,000 new laws passed last year. That's 40,000 times our Liberties were trampled upon. Was it just the R's passing all these laws? Has it only been the R's in Govt....destroying the country? Is it only the R's passing everything for Obama to sign...and if so...why would he sign something passed only by R's?

A lot of what you say rings true, but the thing is, it's not the R's or the D's.....it's the entire system. You should be "Raging against the Machine"...........not a single party.

You are railing about IRAQ..................do you have ANY understanding of what's occurring in Africa and the Middle East right now....death and destruction via the Nobel Peace Prize winning Pres. Obama is probably a worse war monger than Bush, but the presstiitutes in the lamestream media shield the truth from the people. FYI: That was the system lying to US, not Bush alone. Wake up. The Pres is just a front man.

For a recent media example, look into Amber Lyon and CNN.

Please find a cure for your case of Stockholm Syndrome...The D's do not care about you at all....stop believing the lies.

Don't worry Mike the democrats and unions are voting early and often. Some have already been caught.

Wow... Look at this.. - It sounds like we have a double-ignorant person here.. You know why... - because it sounds like you are one of the stupid people out there who will actually vote for Obama twice.. Ridiculous..!
- You're just as bad as the welfare brotha' who I met this past week at the Obama rally club in Ybor last week. And as he's stated, he doesn't really know what he's voting for, he's just glad to have "some color in the White House".

There were much more quality people at the Mitt Romney event in Pasco over the weekend. (And about 15x more the amount of people out to see Mitt compared to Obama's rally of welfare rats..).
- You Obama people are so ignorant and uninformed.. You don't even know what you're voting on. But it doesn't really matter because, as Romney stated, you people are just the 47% of nobodies that we shouldn't worry about because you're already brainwashed by Chris Matthews and Rachael Maddow (of MSNBC) along with those two dirtbags, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and the like -- (oh yeah - cant forget about those dumb broads on The View -- complete slobs).
Their all un-American.
- You people just need to just go away..

Jill and TJG,
Both are not helping you causes with the use of labeling.

why are you out of the kitchen Jill? dinner BETTER be done.

Penny, I agree that we need to have fiscal responsibility in this country. That is why you should not support the Republican Party. Nearly every Republican in the House of Representatives has signed the fiscally irresponsible Grover Norquist Tax Pledge promising not to raise one additional dollar in taxes. This fiscal irresponsibility has prevented us from having a debt deal in Congress to reduce the government's debt. The Republicans have created total gridlock in Congress because they care mostly about protecting millionaires. Their other main goal has been to simply hurt the President. Unfortunately, they have hurt all Americans in the process.

Lucinda, please thank all the men in your family for their service to our nation!

Mike you sound like a whiny liberal who is on welfare, are you? That rapist you talk about has an 80% chance of being a liberal (80% of prisoners claim to be liberals). And the drug dealers you mention have an 80% chance of being a liberal. Seems like 80% of liberals are just not nice people.

LOL brain washed i c. Abortion's will always be available..The Supreme court NOT the president, decides on those LAWS. I don't believe in abortion personally.. We don't need the White House in Our Bedrooms, or mandating Birth control...WE have a Constitution to protect and have for over 200 yrs, and the Citizens of Our Country. We do NOT Need a president who doesn't abide by Our Constituation or Laws and steals from Medicare for his Obama care...Ask those who live in Chi-town he did NOTHING for Chicago..He is NOTHING but a community Organizer. Obama can't even balance a budget even though congress has been dem for almost 4 years, (his OWN party is against him) NO Budget? UNHEARD OF I couldn't imagine No budget for my home, never mind a Country. Women have had FREE Birth control and have had it for over 45+ years. Any Health dept will provide it...And he should be ashamed of ignoring The deaths of 4 Americans, I guess he MUST Please his Muslim "friends"...Thats the reason. OBAMA'S ALLEGiENCE is NOT to AMERICA.. OUR Commander in Chief does NOT Bow down to ANYONE in the World never has & never will..And NO one is EVER suppose to TOUCH The Queen of England..EVER!! He's a disgrace.Gov. Romney has 10 women on his Board in Mass, NO other state ever employed that Many women on a Gov.'s Board & Yes, they are PAID equally. Funny the Women in Obama's white house aren't, Check the records...You are Completely WRONG!!!

Women are not dumb or weak. No one is going to force us to have a rapist baby! When men want women to vote their way, they throw out abortion, pay rates and miliatary action or whatever has been fought for women's rights? Romney is not going to take the vote away from women nor the choice of birth. Let's get down to the real issues. My family has lost our home (Obama's plan did not work), we have lost half our wages, insurance is out of our financial ability. Things are not working. Even when the the stimulas money came for junk cars, who was able to afford a new car payment, not me!. I considered my self middle class and not one stimulas dollar has helped my family, only the rich. Let's try something new.

Mike, I think it is great that you are interested in the USA and its future. It is to your credit that you are an active citizen. I do hope, however, that you will double-check some of your facts. There is conflicting information floating about, but if you will check reputable sources, you will find that Obama has added to the debt more than any President in history; that his healthcare plan will bankrupt many small businesses; that his healthcare plan has already made huge cuts in Social Security; that his wife and daughter's vacation spending at the expense of the taxpayer has been documented to be in excess of $16 million, that his credibility around the world is low because of his lack of knowledge and leadership in foreign policy coupled with his failed fiscal policies causing a credit down-grade for the US; and his lack of truthfulness with the Lybian deaths have all substantiated his lack of readiness for the job. If someone gave us that resume to head a company, we wouldn't hire them.
Romney has had immense, successful experience creating jobs; he does NOT oppose abortion in the case of rape; he has no desire to engage in a war (really, not President does, think how unpopular that would make them to just begin a war without solid, or presumed-to-be solid intelligence. Even Romney's opponents have touted him as stellar businessman, an experienced governor, and a fine person. Romney is solid. Give him your vote in November.
All of us want a strong America.

Mike,it would seem that liberals are insulted by facts and truth. The fact is that you have no idea what my level of education is. If you were well read up on BO he will tell you that he is a marxist muslim, just read his books and listen to his speaches it is right there in front of you.

Mike, the reason the military was under equiped in Iraq is because Bill Clinton decimated our military. Obama did not take out Osama, the military followed through with Bushes plans. Bill Clinton had 12 chances to take out Osama and failed each time, Obama put it off for weeks (probably didn't want to kill his brother muslim) and was finally forced to make the call by his staff.
I hope Romney overturns Rowe VS Wade except the the case or rape or incest.

Donald,
it's always a Democrats fault. We aren't going to talk about who put Osama in power and why? Clinton decimated our military, because the Republican Congress who signed the bill to ramp down had nothing to do with it? According to the 9-11 report it was less than 12 real tries, but that's another issue. But what about the opportunities that Bush had? Didn't mention them did you? Not really surprised. I know you believe that Democrats are the root of all evil. I'm sure like some Conservative scholars you are going to be blame the 9-11 attack on liberals too. Because in the 1980's it was the Democratic Administration forcing people off their religious lands to build military bases? Was that the Carter, Clinton, or Obama administration during the mid 1980's that was feeding weapons to Osama Bin Laden?
Mike you are incorrect they were not improperly equiped, they were given bad intelligence. That happens, we trusted some informants that shouldn't have been trusted. But ill-equiped. The American military man is the finest equipment military in the world. It did require a cultural change in training, but that comes with the changing times/population spreads.

Mike,
Romney doesn't have the political clot or the nesscary support to overturn Rowe vs Wade. It is not something he would be able to do. So that is an factually inaccurate assumption.

You really want me to list what they have done for us? Better yet, how about I list what the Bi-partisanship has done TO us because I look around and am hard pressed to find something good they've done FOR us.

Red, the name of Gov. Romney's company from (which he "retroactively" retired in 1999 or 2001 or 2004 depending on the paperwork he needed to sign) can be shortened to "Bain Capital", but I do like the idea that it was the "bane" of the workers for the companies it bought, bankrupted and profited from!

TJG,
How do the facts add up. He starts up with some decent facts then go Michael Moore for the rest of the movie. He protrays other peoples thoughts as Obama's own writings. He has never met his subject matter. It is no better than 2004's Feigheit 9-11. It starts up with some facts, but after about 15 minutes, goes straight to opinion town. When even people in the consverative news industry is questioning the "facts" presented what does that say. D'Souza is a conservative sensationalist. No better than Michael Moore on the liberal side. Both sell opinions as facts.

TJG,
It is a statistical dead heat with the standard deviation. It's anyones race, it all depends on turn out. I know personally I have recieved phone calls from both campaigns as a registared independent I guess they are targeting us. I also get a call from a polling institution every 3 days. This is going to be close, just will depend in what electorial areas each candidate wins.

Ed,
In defense of both candidates, according to news reports 15 minutes both candidates have cancelled their events for today and possibly tomorrow.

Just reporting what was reported earlier today. If that reporting was false then it was false.

YAWN

I am not sure why somebody from Nashua New Hampshire is finding a discussion about Romney's positions of FEMA to be boring, when your Governor asked for and was granted federal disaster aid:

http://www.boston.com/news/local/new-hampshire/2012/10/30/obama-grants-federal-disaster-declaration-for/SgShhGYN09L8eOFgSyrB8H/story.html

But I am damn well sure that FEMA is far from a boring subject to people in Florida, who are far more regularly hit by hurricanes.

Me too Lucinda! I wish they had a like button on here.

Yes, I would say doing better than average today! :-)

Today is a very good day for democracy loving Americans. Despite Gov. Scott's attempt to suppress Florida's vote, the people came out in large numbers to vote for Democrats. I am certain that Gov. Scott realizes today that he will become a one term governor after the next election.
