31. #23' Under Romney more jobs and healthcare
Ari ,   Chicago   (10.09.12)
Under Romney there will be employment/ Obamacare will cost many jobs because employers with 50 employees and more will have to give medical insurance and will prefer to fire people than spend the money. 26 millions are uninsured in the US but they are mostly young and healthy who will prefer not to buy a health insurance and pay the tax penatty. So Obamacare achieved nothing except burdening the employers and increase unemplyment. Under Romney there will be a coverage for preexisting medical problems , as he established while he was a governor. As Obama stated , they took the idea for healthcare from Romney health care in Massachusets.

Apparently no other nation or leader from civilised world share or are consumed by this fear and except for a couple of Middle East US stooges they distance themselves from this approach - I suspect that the military brass got more to say in this case than the politicians would want us to know or believe ,...
33. Clever jews in the US Supreme Court
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (10.09.12)
Do they find rational the present election system ? In California live 20 million people. If 9,9 vote for Romney and 10,1 for Obama, all 55 electors for the latter. And you call the US a democratic state. Terrible nonsense !
34. even jimmy carter would be better for Israel then obama
zionist forever   (10.09.12)
Of course Romney would be better for Israel he is not obsessed with pleasing Muslims and apologising to the world for Americas very existence. Romney would be even better for Israel if Bibi wins the elections because they are old friends and both lead right wing parties. i cannot imagine Romney getting on nearly as well with Israel if Shelly Yachimovitch was leading a left wing coalition made up of Meretz & Yair Lapid. Obama & Shelly Y would get on great because just like him she is liberal left and things borrowing money for socialist projects is the way forward. Like Obama she would also slash the military spending year in year out to levels where they can't afford the equipment they need and will want to sign treaties for the sake of signing treaties rather than benefits it would bring. If Obama told her to sign a peace treaty with Assad right now show Israel is committed to peace she would say yes Mr President and hand over the Golan tied in a bow. Israel needs a Bibi / Romney coalition.
35. #27. Must be joking! How is Obama good for the U.S.?
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.09.12)
#27. You must be joking! How is Obama good for the U.S.? Is he good for the U.S. economy? Unemployment, deficits, foreclosures and all other bad indicators are at or near historic highs. What exactly is Obama good for?
36. Romney is making a mistake meddling like Bush and Obama to
Ari ,   Jerusalem   (10.09.12)
impose models of democrazy american style in the ME and the rest of the world. Due to cultural believes and cultural Gaps that is allmost imposible. Afganistan today is allmost as it was 10 yeras ago. Irak is a mess Egypy going down the Drain. I am nt for Obama but this is not his fault. If Roney helps the Suryan Rebels he cannot control that does arms go into the hands of Alqueida or Muslim Brotherhood Elements. Any way all those including secular arabs are antiisraeli. As for Israel I hope Romney sticks to his promises of campaign. They all come making big promises and then everyone flips one way or another.because they are afraid of Saidi Oil. Untill America is not free or dependant of foreign imports regarding oil or gas. Every one siting in the white house is a prisoner of the Arabs in a certain way.
37. To: No. 33
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.09.12)
No. The electors are independent voters, and only in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are they legally bound to vote in accordance with the popular vote (and that is actually under challenge). The president of the United States is elected by the electoral college, not by the people, and that is enshrined in the Constitution. There have been several instances in which the winner of the popular vote lost the presidential election.

39. 28 - what's good for Israel spells bad for US ,...
split ,   US   (10.09.12)
An example, we have wasted over a $1 trillion looking for WMD in Iraq (not to mention human casualties) pushed to war by neo-con-lunatics - Today's news: "Iraq buys $4.2 billion in Russian weapons" - Why? Are they not grateful? Nope, as a result of Israeli dictating us what we can or can't sell to Arabs. By the way adjusted for inflation you can build over 70 Channel Tunnels linking EU and G. Britain for $1 trillion.

Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (10.09.12)
For rational peoples this is a gigantic nonsense and a chaotic system. Burkina Fasso's electoral regulations are much more democratic.

42. @30: Think Again
emanon ,   USA   (10.09.12)
Or actually, just think. Romney will do what is good for Romney. If arabs threaten to cut off oil, Romney will sell Israel out in a heartbeat. All Romney cares about is his money.
43. To: No. 40
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.09.12)
Well, then, isn't it fortunate that you live in Hungary and not in the United States?

Every winter our transport system is losing millions of work hours and thousands of tons of spoiled goods due to highways and rail closures thru the Rockys and Cascades. A few tunnels would change this crap but guess what, we can't afford it ;),...

47. To: No. 44
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.09.12)
Well, perhaps the United States should contemplate eliminating foreign aid to countries that burn the United States flag, attack its embassies and consulates and murder embassy personnel, rape American citizens, ship heroin to America's shores, allow American interests to be attacked within its borders, etc., etc., ad nauseum. Save quite a bit of money that way. By the way, it's spelled "Rockies." Did you leave school in the third grade? Also, why do you respond to your own comment? Do you talk to yourself, too?

51. # 23 LOL Phil green
big bad Jew ,   United States   (10.09.12)
perhaps you were asleep when Mitt Romney initiated the first ever insurance pool for the poor in Mass?? One that obama used as a crude model, not as good or not as well executed. no wonder obama's being thrown to the curb, he hasn't had one good original idea since being brain washed by The G_d damn church of Jeremiah Wright, and a silent partner of "The Nation of Islam'. LOVIN ME SOME ROMNEY!!!!
52. Romney good for Israel?
Freon ,   Sandoz   (10.09.12)
If you believe that Israel's current policy of belligerent refusal to take any real steps toward a two-state solution are good for Israel, then, yes, Romney is good for Israel. I believe that this policy will ultimately be a disaster for Israel when Americans get fed up and demand that the US stop being Israel's slave.
53. forget Israel Obama has failed America
zionist forever   (10.09.12)
For Israel anybody would be better than Obama and Romney at least seems to be the ally Israel needs after all the Obama's attempts to hurt Israel every chance he got to suck up to the Muslim world. For America what has he actually done to solve the problems there? The national debt was about $9 billion when Bush left office and today its $15 and despite the fact he spent all that extra money he hasn't made any significant economic improvement and unemployment is not much lower than it was in 2008. His obsession with being a green president has resulted in him wasting fortunes on green projects that created very few jobs. He was against the Canada / US oil pipeline. He has been going around the world virtually apologising for America's very existence. No guarantee Romney will solve the countries economic problems but Obama has had his chance and failed so its time to give the new boy a chance.

It's chump change of what Israel is getting and keeps bragging about her prosperity. In regard to cutting aid we should cut it first to a nation that pretend to be our ally and keeps killing US citizens like USS Liberty sailors, Rachel Corrie or Furkan Dogan ,...

56. Romney will be a disaster for the US.
M. Davison ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (10.10.12)
I'm no fan of Obama and regret voting for him last election, but Romney is just a disaster waiting to happen on US Americans. Just his plans for medicare and repealing "Obamacare" (as flawed as that is) will leave millions more without healthcare than there are already. Put that alongside his affinity and connections to corporate America and the average citizen will seem like an Alabama cotton foeld hand before the Civil War. After Bush's and Obama's mistakes, Romney has the chance to push the US over the edge into a corporate hegemony rather than a nation. Obama is bad, but Romney will be worse. I for one, am tired of voting for the lesser of two evils. The US has to change the way it chooses its candidates-- if these two are the best the US can offer, maybe the US deserves to fade off onto the junkheap of history... but then what happens to Israel? Like it or not, we NEED that "big brother".
57. meddling
RM ,   Amsterdam NL   (10.10.12)
What would Israel do if any country on earth showed as keen an interest in the Israeli elections as Israel does in US elections, clearly favoring one candidate over another.? Would it become uneasy? Would it object? Would it point out that Israel is independent and has a right to be left alone? You bet it would in the loudest way possible. BACK OFF it's a US election, wait and see!!!!!!!
58. Romney better for Israel
shlomo ,   canada   (10.10.12)
Wrong. and wrong. Romney is an empty suit that will further endanger the region and bad for Israel. Everyone with a conscience and morals knows that.
59. To: No. 55
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.10.12)
Don't flatter yourself. Moreover -- you posted at No. 28, replied to yourself at No. 39 and then replied to yourself yet again at No. 44. I did respond to you at No. 44, which is also a response to your posts at No. 28 and No. 39.

Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (10.10.12)
The USS Liberty was a CIA spy ship that was not only sticking it's nose where it didn't belong but was working against Israel. Rachael Corrie was an idiot sticking her nose where it didn't belong and working against Israel. Both got what they deserved.
