It's apparant that Rob is just in here as a troll to incite & provoke. Pay no attention to the fool behind the (iron) curtain...
robkoz September 16, 2012 at 07:28 pm
Which served no purpose to my comment. Take your meds and move on.
robkoz September 16, 2012 at 07:33 pm
You know the movie Idiocracy? It's you John. You're the lead star of the movie.
John K Massaro September 16, 2012 at 07:39 pm
Irrelevant insults from an irrelevant poster. Moving on...
robkoz September 16, 2012 at 07:51 pm
Oooh! I'm rubber, you're glue....
John K Massaro September 16, 2012 at 07:54 pm
Seriously Rob? Did you really just take it to that level? And then you have to wonder why I use the word "irrelevant" when I describe you? I'm pretty sure I gave up those tactics somewhere in 3rd grade...
oh yeah September 17, 2012 at 06:40 am
and how many pay taxes?
Bye Bye Romney September 17, 2012 at 10:07 pm
"WHAT IS ROMNEY's PLAN???" Romney's is incoherent. They're picking on Obama's "daily" actions, which means that the GOP can do nothing to answer that question:
Jaguar-Guy September 17, 2012 at 10:21 pm
Obama's Plan is to keep our kids in chains to banks since he cannot STOP spending and has not got one clue how to lower the deficit he promised he'd cut in half - FREAKIN LIAR !!!
Justin Time September 17, 2012 at 10:47 pm
LOL!! Ever hear the word "Bush"???
So silly......
John K Massaro September 18, 2012 at 12:42 am
Romney basically just lost the election...

How on earth do you figure that? He's painfully accurate. If Brian Williams acts all dramatic you fall for it and post it here? You've been duped. MSNBC is the media arm of the federal media complex. You people should stop it with MSNBC. At least you hedged and used the word ''basically'. Silly man.
John K Massaro September 18, 2012 at 01:01 am
LoL. Whatever dude. You can believe what you want.
I'll see you at the polls.
DJ September 18, 2012 at 01:03 am
For stating what all of us already know? He is a businessman, not a lfelong politician who lies with every breath.
John K Massaro September 18, 2012 at 01:31 am
You're missing the point. Regardless of whether he said is true or not in your eyes, the people who he is referring to are not going to want to hear this, that he's basically saying, "You're in the position you are in & you need to work yourself out of it, because if you're expecting me to help you out of it, you're very mistaken". Especially those who might have been on the fence as to who they might have voted for. He pretty much just insured that any of those who might have been on the fence just jumped on the Obama's side of the yard...
Home Town Native September 18, 2012 at 01:45 am
LOL, Romney was dead on accurate and no one will change their mind over this recording.
Pathetic!
Home Town Native September 18, 2012 at 01:46 am
The people he was referring to werent going to vote for Romney anyway.
Justin Time September 18, 2012 at 12:13 pm
We need Walker

"the very words our country was founded on"???
Perhaps you should pick up one of those history books John. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to celebrate America's Centennial... 100 years AFTER our country was founded. And those words are from Emma Lazarus' poem "Then New Colossus" which she wrote in 1883 and weren't engraved on a bronze plaque and mounted on the statue until 1903. In any event, a working knowledge of the English language is required for most people applying for citizenship through naturalization... although exceptions were introduced in 1990 for older applicants and for those with certain disabilities. I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be a citizen before you can vote. But then again, if you're not required to prove it...
RockyPointDiver September 18, 2012 at 03:41 pm
BTW... the city of "Leningrad" reverted back to St. Petersburg about 20 years ago.
John K Massaro September 18, 2012 at 04:02 pm
Wow Rocky, not exactly the fastest car on the lot, are ya? Do you think people were immigrating to Ellis Island from overseas to find a better life 20 years ago?
I refuse to argue with either one of you on this issue. I'm 100% sure I know what principles this country was founded on & exactly what "The Great American Melting Pot" is all about. I'm not talking about who can & can't vote. I'm talking about who is & is not welcome to come into this country...
John K Massaro September 18, 2012 at 04:04 pm
Why bother with taxes? Apparantly Romney sure don't...
RockyPointDiver September 18, 2012 at 04:21 pm
More than fast enough for you.
Your statement: "your family would probably still be somewhere in Leningrad". Since you said "still" I really had no choice but to assume you were implying a present tense condition. "I'm not talking about who can & can't vote." - Then what was your point in posting on an article about voter registration, in response to a post by robkoz that wasn't talking about who is or isn't welcome into this country?
John K Massaro September 18, 2012 at 04:31 pm
Because Rocky, it's obvious if you're going in & getting a voter registration form, chances are you are already a citizen in this country. I'll give you a little hint. Illegals, for the most part, don't draw red flags to themselves by going into government establishments & trying to vote. They'd much rather lay low & stay out of the public eye as much as possible to avoid getting caught. They're here to make money. They're not here to follow politcal agendas. They could care less about elections...
RockyPointDiver September 18, 2012 at 04:52 pm
Huh?? Somebody want to translate that for me because I can't make heads or tails of what that was supposed to mean, or what it has to do voter registration forms in Spanish. :-(
"if you're going in & getting a voter registration form, chances are you are already a citizen in this country"... or you're being signed up by Acorn.
John Gruber September 18, 2012 at 05:02 pm
forget the people who were/weren't going to vote for him. he basically said he doesn't care about anyone who needs government assistance. and this may be a shocker to some, but NOT everyone on welfare is a drug-using, system abusing bum.
John Gruber September 18, 2012 at 05:03 pm
as opposed to republicans who are notorious for giving large companies little regulation? or do we need to revisit 2008?
John K Massaro September 18, 2012 at 05:28 pm
EXACTLY, John. What about every single disabled veteran who relies on the government to make ends meet after fighting for this country & losing his/her ability to "take responsibility for their own lives"? What about every single person who's on Social Security, who's done their time in the workforce & was looking forward to spending the twilight of their lives in financial comfort? What about those who were productive working members of society BEFORE Romney & others like him outsourced their jobs overseas? What about all the people currently on unemployment because of Wall Street bankers, an auto industry that didn't remain competitive & government economic policies leaning towards the upper-class? Basically, "We screwed you, we knocked you down, it's your problem to get yourself back on your feet"? I'm sorry, but that's not the guy I want leading my country.
Stinker September 18, 2012 at 05:34 pm
Waaaaaa, and what about...and what about....and what about...and what about...what about who!? You come into this world naked and with nothing but a chance like it or lump it you can do whatever you want. But the same people who state that we need nationalized healthcare because it is not right that freeloaders cost you and I $$ when they go to the hospital are the same people that are now having a conniption because we have now upped the ante and discussed what this election is really about. Be afraid. Be very afraid. The wave of 2010 is about to flood the fruited plains.
Stinker September 18, 2012 at 05:37 pm
hahahaha, if you don't agree with John K. Massaro and agree that ''Romney basically just lost the election" you're missing the point. You must be getting upset today as everyone is missing the point you, Brian Williams and Jimmy Carter's grandson thought was so breathless. too predictable.
