Thursday on “Conversations Of A Sistah” Election 2012, Does the 47% matter?

The ReadyWriter

Tuesday November 6, 2012 is election day and with so many potential ploys being set in place to block the vote, this election has become crucial.

Presidential candidate Mitt Romney believes that 47 percent of the people will vote for president Barack Obama no matter what, because they are a bunch of freeloaders who pay no taxes, who don’t assume any responsibility for their lives, and who think government should take care of them…Romney believes there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food stamps, to housing, to you-name-it. That that’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax.

Romney believes: “His job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.” Romney has secretly expressed his disdain for Americans who “back” president Barack Obama, thinking that most of them are African-American minorities and Latino Americans.

Therefore, Romney feels a strategy to steal the presidency rather than to win it honestly, so he told his contributors this:

“women are open to supporting me,” but that “we are having a much harder time with Hispanic voters, and if the Hispanic voting bloc becomes as committed to the Democrats as the African-American voting block has in the past, why, we’re in trouble as a party and, I think, as a nation.” When one attendee asked how this group could help Romney sell himself to others, he answered, “Frankly, what I need you to do is to raise millions of dollars.” He added, “The fact that I’m either tied or close to the president…that’s very interesting.”

A Vote For Romney is a Vote for Zomney!

The ReadyWriter

I think the world wants President Barack Obama to win re-election bid for a second term in the White House.

Just ask filmmaker Joss Whedon who believes Mitt Romney is the right man to lead America – into a “zombie apocalypse.”

With Election Day looming, the staunch President Obama supporter and “Avengers” director makes fun of Romney’s policies in a YouTube video posted online on Sunday. In the YouTube video, Whedon pounds Romney for his stance on just about every domestic issue while working in what appears to be his kitchen.

“Romney is ready to make the deep rollbacks in health care, education, social services, reproductive rights, that will guarantee poverty, unemployment, overpopulation, disease, rioting, all crucial elements in creating a nightmare zombie wasteland,” Whedon said.

The parody, just in time for Halloween includes a doctored photo of Romney looking like a zombie (pictured up top) Or “ZOMNEY,” as the video notes in big letters.

“Lets all embrace the future,” the 48-year-old Whedon quips. “Stop pretending we care about each other, and start hoarding canned goods. Because if Mitt takes office, sooner or later the zombies will come for all of us.”

The Restaurant Owner who bear hugged Obama invited to tonight’s debate

The ReadyWriter

Scott Van Duzer, the pizza shop owner who enthusiastically embraced the president last month, by physically lifting him up off the ground and bear-hugging him; will be a guest at tonight’s presidential debate.

Tonight is the 3rd presidential debate between President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney. This debate is being held at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida and will focus on foreign policy.

This election 2012 is crucial, will you tune into tonight’s debate? Be sure and share your comments with me when it’s over.

Mitt Romney’s son wanted to take a swing at Obama

The ReadyWriter

The tense verbal exchange between President Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney during Tuesday’s presidential debate stirred anger in Romney’s son, Tagg Romney.

Tagg Romney was a guest on a North Carolina radio show when he was asked how he felt when Obama accused his father of being a liar.

Tagg said he wanted to jump out his seat and “rush down the debate stage and take a swing at him”. But when he thought about how secret service would “stomp him down” he held back. 

I heard Tagg Romney’s interview and I think his comments were a natural response of action to anyone attacking his father.  If someone was verbally attacking my father, I would want to react in the same fashion, defensively. In a case like this, Tagg didn’t care that Barack Obama is president of the United States.

So in the meantime as the media “blows Tagg’s comments” out of proportion on this issue, I’m sure Romney’s son made the comment out of human nature, love and protection for a parent.

Romney – Obama Debate Gets Testy

The ReadyWriter

 

There were some tense moments between the presidential debate rematch between President Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney at Hofstra University Tuesday. Governor Romney was concise and confident at the start of the debate, while Obama seemed anxious and fired up. The pressure was on and Obama appeared to rise to the occasion.

Romney was petty taking the president toe to toe but President Obama definitely “Chin-checked” the governor however, I do respect Romney’s religious standards.
