Unemployment is either the fault of people too lazy to work, or Obamas fault. Joel Send a noteboard - 18/09/2012 05:28:26 AM
If people are too lazy to work unemployment is not Obamas fault and thus no reason to vote against him (it is hard to find many people voting FOR Romney rather than just against Obama.) If they are NOT too lazy to work they genuinely need help Romney refuses and Obama supports (e.g. the jobs bill the GOP House refuses to pass, extending unemployment etc.) Either way, there is every reason to vote for Obama, and none to vote for Romney.

One can NOT say Obama must go because he caused high unemployment AND that only lazy people are out of work, and thus need no help. It is one or the other.

You would be surprised how well that does NOT work. Joel - 18/09/2012 03:13:23 PM 515 Views
Well, that's not exactly the point, and I think you know it. nossy - 18/09/2012 05:24:48 PM 513 Views
In terms of employment, it really is, inescapably. Joel - 18/09/2012 09:48:28 PM 648 Views
Nope. nossy - 18/09/2012 10:29:50 PM 494 Views
Even granting the first part, extending unemployment insurance 6 months=/=4 years of 8% unemployment Joel - 19/09/2012 12:06:15 AM 574 Views
Actually, there was one other Obama "entitlement:" He gave out a lot of small business loans. Joel - 18/09/2012 10:01:45 PM 486 Views
That's not really the point though, is it? Nebhead - 18/09/2012 09:41:52 AM 521 Views

Just from my point of view.... Jeordam - 18/09/2012 05:05:45 PM 472 Views
Hold on there. Everyone should work? And conservatives time and time again talk out their asses. callandor1000 - 19/09/2012 05:04:30 PM 504 Views

That first sentence is too long: "If it wasn't due to the safety net George Romney would not lived" Joel - 18/09/2012 10:00:12 PM 536 Views
And we are going to see plenty more of it, it seems snoopcester - 18/09/2012 08:57:45 PM 670 Views
I don't recall him (or any other Republican) advocating a revocation of assistance. Tom - 18/09/2012 11:02:08 PM 522 Views
WE ARE THE 47 PERCENT! moondog - 18/09/2012 03:07:09 PM 509 Views
It's valid to argue about the number (and everyone is), but Romney's basic point is valid. Tom - 18/09/2012 10:59:48 PM 509 Views
I guess his is perhaps a true "politically incorrect" comment (much as I hate that phrase)? Larry - 19/09/2012 12:05:48 AM 483 Views
I really don't think he was talking about a situation like that. Tom - 19/09/2012 02:39:15 AM 515 Views
I don't know that it really hurts him that bad. everynametaken - 19/09/2012 12:55:36 AM 536 Views
If it plays okay in Ohio, Virginia and Iowa then you're right. Tom - 19/09/2012 02:40:45 AM 491 Views
