Romney is diong exactly what the S&P folks criticized. Complete tool but still the best that the repubs have. How shameful.

Mitt Romney seems to have a problem with making decisions. He waited until the 11th hour to say that he was against raising the debt ceiling, while Ron Paul was able to form an opinion to not raise the debt ceiling three weeks before the final vote. This is not the first time that Romney could not pull the trigger. At the last Republican Presidential Debate, Romney could not answer a simple question about bringing our troops home without saying that he would have to "consult with his generals". To this spineless answer, Ron Paul said next, "I'm the Commander-In-Chief....I make the decisions!" Great answer Dr.Paul!
Mitt Romney is an empty-suit establishment puppet, much like the other clown from the same mold, Rick Perry. Both Romney and Perry are similar in that they both are the type of cheesy, plastic career politicians that people are so sick of seeing. They will say anything to get elected but if they can't do it the traditional way, they will simply buy their way into office.
America needs a real leader, who makes his own decisions. America needs a man with principles and a real and viable plan. America needs Ron Paul!
Ron Paul for President in 2012!!

The Tea Party, like the child in the great fable, has pointed out that the Emperor has no clothes. The Emperor had been convinced by his advisors that he was wearing the finest fabric, but he was nude for the parade. The media and all his subjects could not see any clothes on the Emperor but complemented him on his beautiful "suit" of clothing. Then a child (Tea Party) shouted, "Look, he is naked."
Just then, everyone knew that he was not wearing any clothes at all. But the Emperor said, "The show must go on." So the massive spending increases are in place and the show must go on, even though everyone knows that the Emperor has been sold a bill of goods.
So now the Tea Party is blamed for the massive spending, since no one can blame the Emperor or his advisors for the massive entitlement structure. NBC, ABC, CBS, NYT, CNN and Time Magazine all scream at the child for criticizing the Emperor. No one was supposed to notice the massive increases in the debt and thus pass a "clean" (no cuts) increase in the debt ceiling. The rating agencies lamented that there was a debt ceiling at all. The VP called the Republicans terrorists for trying to reduce spending and "not paying their fair share" (in other words all of it). Until the foolish Emperor begins to see light, this country is doomed. And it's incredibly Orwellian media will be screaming for the need to close more factories and electrical plants to stop global warming; increase unfunded liabilities; increase regulations of business; and of course to jail or muzzle the child who sees sense.

I just paid $22,87 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38,76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $675 which only cost me $71,32 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, MetaCent. com
