1. Should Mitt not win in November...Israel will be
Al   (08.11.12)
screwed blued and tattooed. Yes Obama is one friggin disaster not ony for America but for the entire western world, especially Israel. You have no idea how America has fallen over the past 4 years. 25% of the population lives on some sort of government assitance. Most of the blabber coming out of the American media is tainted towards Obama. Truth be told America is bleeding. To the Jews of America..should Obama be re-elected and America sinks, you will end up being blamed. You are viewed as the 1% Remember that!
2. A Great New!
Gavriel Rechav ,   Valencia - Spain   (08.11.12)
The Tea Party is the stronger political pressure group of the United States, made up of volunteers from the middle classes, with a capacity for action and funding that caused the astonishment of the world. One must go back to the Hippie movement of the 60' to find something minimally comparable. With their help, as well the so called Jesusland, Romney's victory is much closer, and with it the arrival of a great friend of Israel, who can be decisive at a time so crucial for us. Next I begin to see the official proclamation of Jerusalem as the one and indivisible capital of Israel. All with Romney!
3. Now, that's a losing combination, if I ever saw one

4. It's Palin redux....not as stupid, but just as clueless...
Edithann ,   USA   (08.11.12)
Love it, love it, just love it! TATA
5. To Al #1
Bill Coyote ,   Nevada   (08.11.12)
I agree with you 100%. -- The liberal nutters in USA on the jewish side dont care for Israel. They only care about their pockets. -- Many of them are self-haters and have no clue that the jews will be blamed if Obummer wins.
6. Hey, Grandma!
NYCSteve ,   NY, NY   (08.11.12)
Tell Grandma it's time to stop luxuriating on medicare and to GO OUT AND GET A JOB! The GOP crashed the American economy. Now Ryan and Romney are here to finish the job.
7. Obama had his chance...................
Ben S ,   USA   (08.11.12)
As a democrat I have to admit Obama blew it ! It's time for real change. Mazel Tov to Romney/Ryan.
8. Thought it would be Rubio for certain
Cameron ,   USA   (08.11.12)
9. Let's start from the BASICS.
Michael ,   California, USA   (08.11.12)
And the basics is that the Health Plan passed by the Congress during Obama's presidency (so called "Obamacare") is a bright spot for America's future. To start from, Obama had to fight off depression fears left over by Bush Junior. He did reasonably well at it except for unemployment figures. Obama also did well with wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of American citizens recognize that the president can do almost nothing about unemployment short of declaring a major war somewhere. So, Romney+Ryan will need to forget about attacking Obama on unemployment and concentrate on Obamacare. By doing it, Republicans will lose big. By the latest polls, except for the conservative rich who are a minority, Obamacare is supported overwhelmingly by American citizens, by the lower and middle classes.
10. Hey Steve #3
Ben S ,   USA   (08.11.12)
Way too much kool-aid. Grandma has been out looking for a job. Problem is unemployment has grown to 8.2% since Obama Hussein has been in office. Time for you to move grandma in the house and take care of her, cause Obama's system can no longer afford her. Step up or shut up!
11. @ 4
Rick ,   USA   (08.11.12)
You obviously know nothing about Paul Ryan. If you would take the time to listen to what he says, and assuming you have the capacity to understand logical, no spin analysis of the problems facing the US today; you would realize how clueless you are.
12. Obama promised change................
Ben S ,   Free World   (08.11.12)
Now that's all I have left in my pocket. He kept his word.
13. should have gone with condoliza rice
zionist forever   (08.11.12)
Outside the Republican Party how many Americans have heard of Paul Ryan? Condoliza Rice would have been the best choice. She is a household name, she is intelligent, she is a woman which might help Romney attract the female vote and of course she is black which is good if Romney wants the black & Latinos currently on Obama's pocket. Paul Rayan appears to be just another white middle class American Congressman and I don't see him & Romney having what it takes to beat Obama.
14. The 3 Greatest Obama's Blunders
Gavriel Rechav ,   Valencia - Spain   (08.11.12)
1. Allowing Iran is about to get a nuclear weapon, if not has it already, hindering until now every possible Israeli attack. 2. Allow the fall of Mubarak, abandoning him to their fate, which has allowed the rise to power of the Muslim Brotherhood. 3. Have reduced to zero Israel's military technological superiority over its Arab neighbors. Under the pretext of defending the Persian Gulf against the Iranian threat, he is providing them with a superior weaponry that Israel possesses. Not surprisingly, these 3 measures has been very well received by the Israel enemies. For instance, Hugo Chaves, an ally of Admedinejah, has become one of the most loyal fans of Obama.
15. That was excellent for the presentation to be from a ship
Rivkah   (08.11.12)
and then in front of a ship because in Gesenius' Hebrew Lexicon, a ship is a symbol or metaphor of nearness to God. With a male instead of a female running mate, Governor Romney has a chance of winning. America is not ready for a female Vice President, as excellent as Sarah Palin and Condolezza Rice and Michelle Bachmann are.
16. # 11...Dear Rick...you obviously don't understand
Edithann ,   USA   (08.11.12)
anything...Obama 'is' leading in the polls..and Ryan wont do anything but make Obama look better!!!.. I know what Ryan says and wants.. his austerity Tea Party Package didn't sell the first time and it wont this time either...He's a jerk..you don't rebuild an economy by cutting everything that holds it together and maintain the same methods, laws and criminal loopholes that brought it down in the first place.. It's you who should really look at the whole package..A rich 'loophole' and outsourcing Presidential candidate, who hasn't paid taxes in years, left Massachusetts economy in shambles..Yet he's running away from his only successful deed as MA governer...'the Obama medical style plan', which he and now Ryan are determined to wreck...Good luck on that one!!!... (haha)... Ryan is a clueless Palin style running mate!!.Don't forget she was once governor too...It just doesn't get any better then that..Can you imagine Ryan as President? If you weren't such an Israeli Firster you'd understand that.. TATA .
17. #15...you are one funny lady......TATA
(08.11.12)
18. Ryan is a better pick than Petraeus since it was not Ryan
Rivkah   (08.11.12)
but Petraeus who campaigned for sodomite rights in the US military including same sex marriage.
19. Rivkah # 15
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (08.11.12)
The problem with conservatives running a female is that sexism is ok when it is applied against a conservative woman. Racism is ok when it is applied against a conservative black like Clarence Thomas. Legitimate critisism against a liberal woman or black however is always racist or sexist no matter what. Liberals use a double standard and political correctness only applies when it benefits them.
20. # 4
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (08.11.12)
not as stupid, but just as clueless... You should write a book about it. It's right up your alley.
21. # 16 No Edithann, clueless is....
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (08.11.12)
backing a man who has no job experience. Clueless is ignoring the fact that Sarah Palin had the higest approval rating among the people in her state of any govenor in any state. Clueless people talk about Romneys tax records and ignore the fact that Obama refuses to release his school records. Probably because he wants to hide the fact he was a foreign exchange student. That may not be the case but he is hiding something. Of course it's ok when he does it.
22. Take the offensive. Take the battle to Obama.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.11.12)
The Romney/Ryan team would do well to observe the wise saying of former U.S. President Harry S. Truman. "Bring the battle to the enemy. Don't let the enemybring the battle to you". Take the offensive! Obama is ruining America and endangering the entire Free World. This is no ordinary election. This horrible man must be defeated by any and all means necessary.
23. It's No Secret Israelis Hate Obama: & 4 good reason
InetFraud ,   US-IL   (08.12.12)
Obama has been a disaster for everyone. He is an exceptionally weak leader: unable to articulate his position anywhere (a typical democrat) and it was on his watch that the entire middle east fell to he'll, leaving Israel vulnerable. Romney is certainly the choice for Israel but for the US, he won't make much change: he can't. Americans became so lazy & stupid that nothing will stop the landslide from continuing. The Baby Boomers DESTROYED America with the next generation: Gen X, next in line to finish the job. Gen X is the dumbest, most misguided group of mongrels the US has ever known. The old days of hard work, long hours and local economies will be forced back onto a bunch of lazy punks who will cry like weenies the whole time and drag out the longest, most desperate times in American history only to pass the baton to the Millenium Generation. Only a miracle could save such a nation of fat, lazy helicopter parents who are so stuck on their idiotic ideals, they live in an alternate reality. The saddest thing is, however, that Israel is becoming just like America. It's already deteriorating into a welfare state of punk hippies who want the govt to solve veryones problems. THAT has to stop, of Israel will pay more than it can afford.
24. Ok, Romney has lost
(08.12.12)
Ok, Romney has lost & Obama & the Ayatollahs have won. Romney should have taken Rubio which would have split the Hispanic votes. Romney also lost the Ron Paul supporters which make up about 20% of the GOP voters. No chance to win again. Netanyahu & Barak, attack Iran NOW...else Obama will put his foot down on your neck and squeeze you to the floor after he wins in November.
25. That was the gold standard of bitter diatribes, #23
Cameron ,   USA   (08.12.12)
I am depressed as Hell after reading through that.
26. #23 I am sorry to say you are 100% correct..America indeed
Al   (08.12.12)
the west is in dire straits. We can only hope..things will turn around.
27. Hey, Steve! # 6
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (08.12.12)
So you think the GOP forced Obama to triple the national debt? If he was any kind of president he would have done something about it.
