So Romney is gonna wave a magic wand and increase spending on military, education, healthcare, and cut taxes on the rich and middle class, and reduce the deficit. And it all get paid for because of all the jobs created when the rich get richer. I don't think Ann Romney even believes that.

He's going to ask his dad for the money, right? I heard him say he has alot of plans, but no specifics. As Ronald Reagan said "there you go again".

Most of my friends and family are Democrats and major Obama supporters. This morning my FB feed was quiet as an empty chair in an empty room. Not ONE comment from anyone of them about the debate. Regardless of who you support, I think that speaks volumes.

None of these politicians ever do what they promise. However, the current administration is just not doing the job. Time for a change.
