The GOP legislation awaiting Romney's signature isn't simply a return to the era of George W. Bush. From abortion rights and gun laws to tax giveaways and energy policy, it's far worse. Measures that have already sailed through the Republican House would roll back clean-air protections, gut both Medicare and Medicaid, lavish trillions in tax cuts on billionaires while raising taxes on the poor, and slash everything from college aid to veteran benefits. In fact, the tenets of Ryan Republicanism are so extreme that they even offend the pioneers of trickle-down economics. "Ryan takes out the ax and goes after programs for the poor – which is the last thing you ought to cut," says David Stockman, who served as Ronald Reagan's budget director. "It's ideology run amok."
But don't think for a second that social issues -- particularly abortion -- are not in the GOP's sights. Since the tea party helped pull the GOP back into power in 2010 -- under the guise of controlling government spending -- close to 1,000 anti-abortion bills have been introduced across the country.
All the Republicans need to realize their vision, he said, is a president "with enough working digits to handle a pen."

Mitt Romney's real agenda is to be everything Obama isn't. So Romney gets my vote.
Keep trying, BH!

1. blame republicans
2. blame bush
3. race bait

Correctly pointing out that the Republicans and Bush destroyed our economy isn't hate, it is fact.
Also, correctly pointing out racism isn't hate, the racism is the hate, calling it out is just being honest.
The problem may be that you don't understand the definition of "hate". The fact is that many people will be voting for Romney because they hate Obama, very few will be voting for Obama because they hate Romney.
You can base your vote on hate, I'd rather base my vote on someone I support and agree with.

This is actually Romney's only campaign strategy. He has no specifics or really any plans.
His only thing he has, and all his supporters have, is to attempt to bash Obama.
Thankfully, we don't have that many hate filled people in this country that will base their vote on the hatred of the opponent.
Bush didnt destroy the economy, thats just what your messiah wants you to think.... If anything obama destroyed it with his stupid laws and regulations preventing the economy from fully bouncing back...
Wrong, wrong, wrong-o-reeno.
This isn't about hate, it's being against the policies of this administration.
Nice knee-jerk though. The Hungarian judges gave you a 9.8!

The recession started under Bush, most of the lost jobs were under Bush, the stock market crash was under Bush.
These are verifiable concrete facts, they are not up for debate. If you deny this documented facts, then there is no use in trying to have a conversation with you, because me and you live in different realities.
Obama took us from negative GDP growth, losing jobs, losing stock value, and a failing housing economy to our current state which is positive GDP growth, gaining jobs, gaining stock value, and an improving housing economy.
And your complaint is that he didn't do it fast enough, I'm sorry but that is a pathetic complaint.

Obama shored up the economy with keynesian economics. Everything that is "up" is due to government shoring it up, paying out tax payer money and new money. It's a false recovery. More people on foodstamps, more people unemployed.
That's his legacy.
