Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has canceled a rally planned for tonight at Wisconsin State Fair Park due to Hurricane Sandy.
"Out of sensitivity for the millions of Americans in the path of Hurricane Sandy, we are canceling tonight's events with Governor Romney in Wisconsin and Congressman Ryan in Melbourne and Lakeland, Florida," said Gail Gitcho, communications director for the Romney campaign. Governor Romney believes this is a time for the nation and its leaders to come together to focus on those Americans who are in harms way."
President Barack Obama also canceled an appearance scheduled for Green Bay on Tuesday.
Vice President Joe Biden made stops in Kenosha and Oshkosh on Friday, while Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan also is expected to campaign in Milwaukee this week.
2) The increase in minimum wage only increases the cost of products to the consumers and limits entry level positions. Increase the minimum wage to let's say $20, the cost of a loaf of bread ends up costing $10, where is the working poor better off? At the same time you have discouraged business from taking a risk on hiring unproven unskilled workers, many of whom are working poor. As to your conclusion, business does create jobs, which is different than being in business TO create jobs, so favorable environments for business will result in possible job creation. Where as the Obama/Baldwin idea, of taxing business out of business and hiring everyone to work for the government, is what does not work. FTT, Nice job of redirecting the conversation to insert your union newsletter talking points.
Reuters must be 'lefty moron' also: (insert sarcasm). Enjoy: The strange disappearance of Paul Ryan By Nicholas Wapshott October 24, 2012 ...Yet since becoming Romney’s personal ambassador to the feisty GOP base, Ryan has fizzled. His big three contributions have hardly lived up to the promise invested in him by so many conservative big-wigs. .... Where the chapter and verse on how to find enough tax loopholes to stimulate the economy into creating 12 million new jobs over four years? Where the dazzling intellect we were told so much about? Before the debate, Wallace had spotted something was amiss. “A number of top Republicans say that, when Romney picked you as his running mate a little over a month ago, that they thought that this indicated that you guys were going to run a bold reform agenda campaign,” he told Ryan. “And they are now expressing some frustration that instead of you changing Romney – you’ve heard this – that they feel that Romney is changing you.” Wallace quoted Scott Walker, the strike-breaking governor of Wisconsin. “I just haven’t seen that kind of passion” from Ryan, Walker complained, blaming it on “pushback from some of the folks in the national campaign.”.... @SpudLovr RT @MaryErpenbach: "Hidden away lest he frighten the horses." From "Whatever happened to Paul Ryan?" http://reut.rs/PqJg33 #wiunion #wiright
It's not a union talking point. It is what I truly believe. I am not part of a union. Never have been. I am not under the illusion that if it wasn't for workers organizing, I wouldn't enjoy the benefits of employment I do. I also disagree with your premise. Increased income does not lead to increased prices. Increased prices are due to increase demand. Your premise sounds good on paper. It just isn't reality. And by the way - you are the one who brought up business and its purpose in creating jobs. I was just agreeing with you.
Spud Lovr @SpudLovr Many Wisconsin voters who supported conservative governor Scott Walker are also sticking with Obama http://bit.ly/U8X26i #wiunion #wiright ...“The Romney campaign has been careful not to invest here until they see the numbers,” said Bill McCoshen, a longtime GOP lobbyist and strategist in the state who ran campaigns for former Gov. Tommy Thompson. “They’ve spent more money [than past candidates], but they haven’t brought the candidate here until they’ve seen the numbers.” But even Republicans optimistic about his chances admit concern over the fact that the electorate, like it always is in presidential races, is sure to be much broader and more Democratic-leaning than it was in 2010 or during the recall. About 2.5 million people cast ballots in the recall, and election officials are forecasting that closer to the 3 million who voted in 2008 will pull the lever this time. “I’m a little concerned about those additional half-million voters who didn’t even bother to show up for the recall,” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told The Daily.....
A great deal of the corporations in this country are evil, though. I will agree with that.
You can calmly and rationally shoot down my arguments - which you totally did on the wages/cost to customer discussion/argument. A little sassy, but well within reason. But here you are all fired up. Did the word Maddow set you off, or is the feeling directed more at morninmist?
That should be easy... maybe not without anyone having money... KIDDING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm only kidding.
@celindalake NH poll: strong support for Obama among women. 56% of women unfavorable to Romney, 62% favorable to Obama. http://lakeresearch.com/news/USA/Public_Toplines_USAction_NH_Wave2_102912.pdf … http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1012/82986.html Battleground Tracking Poll: President Obama retakes lead ...The president is now closer in standing to where he’s been the past few months, and the swing is due to female support. On every issue and question of character, women now favor Obama over Romney. Men, meanwhile, support Romney over Obama by 12 points, 55 percent to 43 percent. “The women have come back, and they look pretty locked in,” said Celinda Lake, the Democratic pollster who helped conduct the bipartisan poll. “The key is to win the women by as much as you’re losing the men by.”
When I see the word moron used, I do tend to get a little worried. I do enjoy rational discussion with those who disagree with me... even when they catch me exagerating : )
You always good for a little "Troy Shooting Down."

Obama has been an economic disaster the last four years, and this Benghazi disgrace is completely unacceptable...

Hope and change, baby... It's much harder to do once you have a record that can be reviewed... He also said in 2008 that if he didn't get the job done in four years, that it would be a one term deal... Well, he hasn't delivered, so time to let him keep his word... Romney/Ryan 2012
