While there is not much for anyone to brag about on the economy of Ohio in general, just imagine how much worse off it would be under a Republican like Santorum who has no economic ideas of any kind, a businessman with unscrupulous practices like Romney, or a man of no morals like Gingrich.

Of course, I do hate to bring up some of the people that have been voted into Ohio offices. There was Jerry Springer and Dennis Kusinich to name only a couple. Makes no difference as to the party. They were laughing stocks and made Ohio a laughing stock, too. Sort of the same as Minnesota with Jesse Ventura, Michelle Bachmann, and Al Franken. One more bunch of laughing stocks.

Don't feel you have to remind me of Florida being a laughing stock. First, the "Hanging Chad" debacle that showed America that Florida is too dumb to be allowed to vote and only recently Florida votes a suspected major Medicare fraudster in as the Goobernator.

"a businessman with unscrupulous practices like Romney,"

Is the above parroting the party's latest talking points or is there a real basis for the accusation?

Don't mess with my boy Romney. Like him or not, he is the best of the Magnificent Seven starters.

He likes grits. Maybe that will be on the menu when he takes over the WH. Yum.

I don't care about that, as a matter of fact, show me a touchy feelly, do everything perfect by the book bussiness man and you will be showing me a failure in business.

no mention by me of expecting any where near perfection as most of us do comprehend the reality and vulnerability of mere mortals.

It is the not so subtle accusation that you distinguish him from the mere mortals even by labeling him "unscrupulous". How do you know that was the intent of my post!!

Please supply a link to validate your accusation of "unscrupulous practices"
and not things that are IN YOUR OPINION. You make very specific claims about people but supply no reasoning (assuming that REASONING does exist) for any of your claims, thus in addition to backing up your accusation tell us WHY economics in Ohio would be different under the folks you discredit !!

Thank you !!! And for once instead of making these general claims and accusations, be specific please and if your opinion..please tell us why !!!

So, you are saying that we cannot have an opinion. Depending on the source of a link, you can make anyone sound bad or good so IN MY OPINION, I think we need to keep opinions up close to the top. EXAMPLE: If you watch only FOX, you will come the hate liberals. If you watch only MSNBC, you will come to hate conservatives. Let me suggest you watch both and then give YOUR OPINION.

I am not going to waste electrons responding to you. I know your point is to have me put down my specifics and then you will refute those and ask for more proof. I am not going to play that game. If you do not accept my assertions, then don't.

However, just ask any person of a company that Romney's company took over, raided, sold all assets, and fired the employees while claiming a paper loss and gaining corporate wealth if that is a man with scruples or not.

Ok with me...as I understand it, we are able to come on this forum and just say things,,,,pass it off as our opinion and thats it...no explanations necessary.

WOW...that allows a lot of freedom for us...thanks..you have taught me that is ok to call people names and now have learned that it is ok to make stuff up and just say "that is my opinion" and it can be anything that I want it to be.

Thanks for teaching me how political discussion is to be held. I was so dumb thinking that you should not call people names, or make unfounded accusations on character and of breaking the law,but now I see that that is all accepted. I have been asleep at the switch.

No problem at all Bucco, glad I could help you. But remember, not everyones opinion is going to be correct, so be selective when you jump on any of them. If they are right, the majority will prove them to be so just like my predictions for Sarah, Perry and santorum. I love it when I am right about such important things. Again thanks for the glowing support.

Here's my take:

Yes, I would say that Romney is an unscrupulous businessman. However, just ask any person of a company that Romney's company took over, raided, sold all assets, and fired the employees while claiming a paper loss and gaining corporate wealth if that is a man with scruples or not.

I am so gratefull to you and Villager 11 for clarifying that you can simply state things about those you oppose on politics and never have to stand up and justify your accusations.

So, anyone could come on here and call the President a liar, a cheat or whatever and you cannot ask me to validate that or even ask me why I feel that way....what freedom...and then I can say, as you do, that you discuss politics...wow.

It also saves me time reading and looking at facts...wow, you two guys have saved me so much time.

According to what you are saying, I can even call the President names..that is ok and I dont even have to ever say why...just come up with something that is not good about anyone who I disagree with politically and it is ok.

I have wasted my time reading the NPR specials on his life in business or the Boston Globe series on it...what a waste....I could have just come on here and read your posts and know he is a crook...no, "unscrupulous"...what a waste of time my investigation of candidates has been. You can just come on and say it because of his party and that is all it takes....congratulations.

But, I like to read and deal with facts, so despite your educating me on how you do not need them....I will try to continue....sorry for being such a terrible person but thanks anyway

Bucco, you may think that Mitt is the best thing since sliced bread but you have to admit that Bain Capital was a corporate raider. He killed jobs and did not create new ones for every one that was destroyed. I am not making this stuff up. Just read the link by one of the Republicans and you see I am not alone in calling him a corporate raider and depending on which side of the employment structure you are on - does a person with good morals and business scruples engage in this kind of work?

I am sure Mitt is honest but an honest person can still be an unscrupulous businessman.
