    Final presidential debate: Unanswered questions


    You Gotta Be Kidding!

     
    Romney doesn't have a clue. All Romney did was mimic our Presdent's position on foreign policy. He has no foreign policy and yet he says our President has no economic policy. What a jerk! Our President has done a lot economically speaking to get us out of the hole the Republicans got us into, and now that President Obama has had some success, Romney wants to step in to reinstate Republican fat cat priorities. Have the Republicans ever done anything for the poor and middle class? They taketh and taketh and taketh so the rich get richer and the poorer get poorer. If we do not learn from history, we will repeat the failures of the Republicans in the past. Example: Republicans break in to Watergate to try and win at all costs; Republicans start a second war in Irag because of oil - look at how many Republicans have oil interests; Republicans allow fat cats on Wall Street destroy our financial being and would have made a worse mess of it had they won the last election; Republicans are again trying to steal State elections by requiring ids at polling places to eliminate the lesser priviledged voters. I am not saying that Obama is perfect and needs to continue to grow as our President, but he sure has beatten the alternatives the Republican party has offered. As a retired professional soldier, a retired public school administrator and now a business owner, I have lived through a lot in 40 years of public service and now as a business owner. I came into the Army during Vietnam and remember the burial details for fallen soldiers when Republicans thought war was big business - a war that began under Eisenhower; I served in Desert Shield and Desert Storm and approve that we helped Kuwait but we were sent there to protect Republican oil interests; I have taught and supervised teachers in the public school system to try and reach goals for our students - goals for which the Republicans do not have a clue concerning the needs of poor and middle class families; I am now a business owner doing well in this depressed economy that Republican leadership allowed to be created. President Obama has gotten us on the right path to recovery. There is still a lot to do - he says so hisself - but he beats the alternative. Romney hasn't a clue and current media hype trying to make excuses for him - Romney who doesn't have a foreign policy plan, program or agenda over what is already being done; Romney whose economic plan doesn't add up except for the rich; Romney whose social concern is whether he protects the interests of fat cats and making them more rich at the expense of the lesser fortunate. President Obama is leading and we better not be kidding about the choices we have when we go to vote this November. The risks are too great. Our very existence as a democratic nation leading in foreign and domestic affairs to climb out of this hole Republicans have dug for us depends on coninued, persistent leadership. If you want to correct the problems we face, get some responsible people in congress who have more to do than just try to dfeat our President. Don't be sold a bill of goods by the Republican party - you will only be left with the bill and no goods to show for it.
