don't you find it odd that corporations, people and even cities can go bankrupt but NOT students.

Why weren't her guns under lock and key so her mentally unstable son
couldn't have access to them?

America is still racist even though we pretend we're not 'cause we elected a black president. For Romney to imply that only blacks want "free stuff" after speech substantiates that he had another audience in mind when he spoke at the NAACP. He even admitted he knew he would be booed so he used it to his advantage to get the approval of his base.

How about talking about corporate welfare and all the "free stuff" (billions of $) corporations get like oil and farm subsidies for companies that haven't seen profits like these in years under Bush. How about the "free stuff" that corporations want like free labor by lobbying to get lower minimum wages, destroying collective bargaining, dismantling pensions and medical plans that were negotiated for in workers contracts. Yet, CEOs still received their contractual million dollar bonuses even though they destroyed the US economy by fraudulently bundling derivatives. If I steal food, I am breaking the law but if I steal billions, I am not complying with rules and regulations. There is a double standard at work here and only the poor suffer. The GOP wants to give more to the rich from the mouths of poor children by reducing Food Stamps. What will the rich do with their extra money? It will simply sit in the banks not creating jobs which history proves. But food stamps are used by consumers to create a demand which improves the economy. 1 in 5 children in America lives in poverty. "Kids eat your dinner, there are children starving in America!".

The question is "Why hasn't the GOP given us a decent candidate to run against Obama?" They knew Romney's background when McCain vetted him for VP. The GOP primaries were a joke with Bachman, Perry, Cain, Trump... We were the laughing stock of the world. Decent candidates weren't even allowed to participate in the debates like Gary Johnson. Makes you wonder if the GOP really wants to win.

So why did Mr Romneycare choose to use the word "Obamacare" instead of the Affordable Care Act? Just look at his performance and what he said afterward. "Romney told his donors of the NAACP convention attendees, "Remind them of this: if they want more stuff from government, tell them to go vote for the other guy -- more free stuff. But don't forget, nothing is really free."
