“The snowbirds are returning and so are the unkind, immature, and unrealistic comments by some East Valley residents. Age happens. Just look around at your grandparents.”

“Obama spends hundreds of millions of our worthless money on advertising, trying to demonize Mitt Romney, but he forgot one small problem: millions of people watching the debates and seeing that the ads were all lies and that Romney wasn’t at all like the Democrats portrayed. I can’t wait to see the results of the Nov. 6 election!”

“If you wonder how millions of Italians in the 1930s could support Mussolini and the same for millions of Germans supporting Hitler, look no further than the Democrat voters in America. Mussolini made the Italian trains run on time, Hitler built the autobahns (the first freeways) and Obama created Obamacare. Just like the Democrats, if you give a dog enough bones, he will love you forever.”

“Mitt Romney’s foreign policy is so much tougher than President Obama’s. He would have made bin Laden more dead and buried him in deeper water.”

“I wouldn’t give a hoot in the devil’s domain for Jeff Flake. Anyone who would obstruct a veterans jobs corp bill in time of war doesn’t warrant any respect. On Nov. 6 veterans should show him the same respect and obstruct his bid for a job, and for those on active duty, he’s got two faces and neither one has your back!”

“I am hearing way too much about voter suppression in (especially) Republican-led, battleground states. Now, we are hearing more about Nathan Sproul — from out here in Arizona — hired by the GOP to register voters in Florida, and then discarding the Democrat registrations. Apparently, he has done this before and was prosecuted for it. Considering this — and the fact that the electronic voting machines are owned by corporations that favor Romney, and — in fact — have ties to Bain — I worry about the security and accuracy of the vote count. What baffles me, though, is hearing so many GOP tea party supporters scream about the “sanctity of our Constitution.” Does that apply just to Republicans, or can we all play?”

“I for one am getting irritated over the crying of ‘foul’ re: the erroneous dates on Maricopa County’s Spanish version of election materials. There should be no reason for complaint if all the materials were in English as they should be, English being the language of the USA. When taking my test for U.S. naturalization, I was required to write and speak in English before an immigration examiner/commissioner even though I emigrated from an English-speaking country. Those requirements, along with the many others, to qualify for citizenship and the right to vote. And, upon registering to vote, produce my naturalization papers for verification. It seems the rules of our ‘democracy’ are becoming more and more un-American and slanted towards those who would like to govern under a socialist regime.”

    6th venter, the Republicans INVENTED voter suppression.
    The voting machines you are worried about are owned by Tagg Romney, Mitt Romney's son.Of course there is ABSOLUTELY no reason for concern because the voting machines are owned by the son of one candidate.So what if that political party also hired a company with a record of tampering with voter registrations?Right wingers seem to believe that the end justifies the means, so if they have to cheat to win that is perfectly ok.

    Ah, I'm not too worried...when a Repulican enters the voting booth, they won't know what to do, without a button that just says, "No"...

    I enjoyed the third venter, drawing comparisons to Mussolini and Hitler, and Obama...Two dictators who worked on infrastructure, ostensibly in order to grab power, and the figurehead of an entrenched Plutocracy, trying to make healthcare affordable to a few million more of the indentured masses, in order to keep them docile (and able to work for the wealthy).

    And, the last venter--who thinks that English is the National language, because, well, he says so....and, a story about misprinting voting dates somehow is proof of the "socialization" of America...the leap of logic there is truly Olympic gold medal material.

    RE "venter" 5.. YOU are the problem with politics these days. You lay around, fat and happy, thinking the pretty little people on CBS (See B.S.) are telling you the truth and getting the bulk of your news from a comedian with a comedy show on the comedy channel or some overweight filmmaker. Wake up! Read this ONE bill that Carmona and company are touting as Flake's "anti-military stance". READ THE BILL. Sure, the title says "veteran" and there is ONE paragraph in the 6 page bill that says "veteran" in it, but it is nothing more than ANOTHER multi-billion dollar unfunded mandate. Didja know that one paragraph in the bill says the government can take away your passport if you're late on your taxes? Beware Timmy Geithner!! TRUTH is, Flake has voted in favor of HUNDREDS of pro-veteran, pro-military bills in his career. Another TRUTH is, that there are ALREADY EIGHT "veterans jobs programs" existing in our country...EIGHT... 8... OCHO... HUITE...HACHI...ACHT...YUH-DUL...EIGHT!!!!! How many more do we need? Better yet, if the previous EIGHT haven't worked - WHY SHOULD WE PASS ANOTHER? (My opinion is to tell congress to get the hell out of the way). Do yourself a favor and READ THE BILLS that our congress is passing... if you can stomach it. Most of them are useless and designed for nothing more that politicking (like this most recent "veterans jobs bill" that the democrats are trottting around like it's some holy grail). Nothing but window dressing and nothing but MORE unfunded mandates.

    Bluepoet, it is a curiousity how people who came to this country speaking ZERO English manage to pass the exams to become a Naturalized Citizen since, as the venter said, you are required to demonstrate proficiency in English --- according to the law.Now that law doesn't declare English to be the formal National Language, but how much closer can you come than requiring would-be citizens to be able to speak and write English?There is a whole closet industry in people taking the Naturalization Exams for other people.But, hey who cares? We don't even require people prove they are citizens in order to vote in our elections.

    Good point. The US Citizenship Application Form N-400 used for obtaining US citizenship (naturalization) is in English only, and it is NOT in Spanish. But Arizona’s General Election Ballot is in English . . and it is also in Spanish.

    Um...we cant have the english language as a national language. When the republic of texas was broken up into states, spainish was the primary language.

    This also point out why many Texas conservitaves like Bush jr. and Rick Perry fight for imigration reform. As far as texans are concerned, they already have a right to be here.

    From the "Republic of Texas" wiki...

    The Mexican government attempted to address some of the concerns identified by the conventions of 1832 and 1833. In November 1833, part of the Laws of April 6, 1830 were repealed, allowing Americans to immigrate legally to Texas.[37] Several months later, Texas was granted increased representation in the Coahuila y Tejas legislature. Several American legal concepts, such as trial by jury, were introduced to Texas, and English was authorized as a second language.[38] Unimpressed with these compromises, some Texas residents continued to campaign for independent statehood. Rising tensions eventually led to the Texas Revolution, which began in October 1835

    Republican-led House of Representatives that would slash private and corporate taxes, make deep cuts for the poor, and, begining in 10 years, trying to rein in Medicare cost by giving seniors vouchers to pay private health insurance. Ryan's proposal represented Bush's "trickle-down economies on steroids." Ryan is the "flesh-and-blood embodiment" of the most unpopular in history, and he's far to the right of most independents. Republican political strategists quickly expressed deep doubt, even panic, about the choice, saying Ryan could cost Republicans not only any chance at the White House, but seats in the House and Senate as well. "It could put the Senate out of reach." One GOP strategist told The Hill. NYTimes.com-The Atalnta Journal-Constitution
    Romney's latest attack add accuses Obama of trying to roll back welfare reform so that recipients would no longer have to work-a racially charged allegation with out even the flimsiest bases in reality. Every independs facts-checker has ruled the add a "pants-on-fire" lie. Romney has also charged that Obama was trying to keep military personnel from voting in Ohio, and made a string of other "transparently false claims." MSNBC.com
    Ryan: His "path to prosperty" budget blueprint would give massive tax breaks to the wealthy' while forcing thoes on food stamps, Medicade, and other social-service programs to absorb 60% of his spending cuts.He'd help pay for tax cuts for millionaires like Romney by turning Medicare into a voucher program that puts seniors at the mercy of private insurance companies. Meanwhile, his tax cuts-which would be added to the Bush tax cuts-would balloon the deficite by another $6 Trillion in the same period. In the rosiest of scenarios, his plan doesn't balance until 2020 so, please let's not call Ryan " a fical conservative," "serious," or "a truth teller." Ryan would ban abortion even in case of rape, incest, and co-sponsored a bill that defined fertilized eggs as human beings. The Washington Post. The DailyBeast.com, The Wall Street Journal

    Results, someone could even shamelessly proposal stupidity farming Why do not phoned home quickly send money over the guy completely stupid farming as two hundred and fifty, and city people like to just the city's rural people as two hundred fifty.

    Stupid old-fashioned farming, does not know that guy is in completely to him as a two hundred fifty stupidity farming only strongly feel that if we remitted the money, it was his disgrace would rather die than from stupid farming recommend this guy, very disgusted, that hurt his self-esteem.

    6, stupid tillage thought, to actually pique wildly readily to hand over their identity cards and 250 dollars.

    Whether stupid farming know do not know, two hundred fifty this statement, stupidity farming so when the back two hundred and fifty, that wage is so stupid farming also it stupid farming also thought to charge his identity card and a deposit of 250 dollars, would force him to move so well done in the Far East will last longer, is not necessarily a good thing.

    Stupid farming pay the ID card and 250 dollars, and officially became the Far East to move so the employees, it was stupid farming the registration arrangements and asked stupid plowing the time being stay here, to have older employees to take him to live place.

    Them a little stupid farming talking about what matters stupid Geng also did not think of that, what matters, stupid farming go with the flow was almost not to think about what the problem anyway escorted ID card and 250 dollars, stupid farming that deposit, will not allow him to have any ideas, stupidity farming still immersed in which emotion to find work, the thought no longer need to worry about anything, everything will adapt over exceedingly comfortable, stupid farming has never been so careless.

    Stupid farming in the door at the bench and that middle-aged men suffer sitting in a stupid farming would like to know more about that middle-aged men, stupid farming actually do not like to take the initiative to understand others, that middle-aged men The mind is heavy, do not want to say anything stupid farming more than obviously somewhat taboo, much coach factory outlet online to let it go out.

    Stupid farming only preliminary learned that middle-aged man is Cantonese, is also just officially became the Far East to move so the employees, but not stupid coach outlet online farming points in a group, the stupidity farming unclear how Cantonese recruited, there are coach factory online no escorted ID card and a deposit of 250 dollars, that Cantonese is obvious to the Far East to move so the job a few more in mind, is not optimistic this stage of life in which he, as well as experience, the stupidity farming can not imagine, he to coach factory outlet Cantonese this age, but also in moving houses, looking for a move so stupid farming which stage of life, let what coach outlet online him regardless of experience, should experience a little anxious to promising pressure, said white little purpose to work as laborers, like stupid farming to catch up with the proper degree of maturity for his age, quickly grew up in the community, more not a little anxious to have sterile pressure, it is not to have coach outlet to work to earn money. .

    Yu Geng told the Guangdong people consonance, no need to lay bare, with the horizon self less Meet mention the deja vu.

    8, twelve hours later, an old staff rushed to the scene, you want this to go to a place to live with the stupidity farming and Cantonese.

    Old staff is still young, but bony, blue overalls, wearing a short-sleeved shorts even more distress Liao down, the surface look dull bosses in front of moving houses in the Far East, Cited Well Well, loyal, and did not dare delay, tarry, they hastily took stupid farming and Cantonese to live where the seems not stupid farming and Cantonese slightest interest.

    Leave the office, stupid farming and Cantonese are each picking up coach outlet store two sets of overalls, but still know nothing about the matters related to that anyway, the future will slowly understand, do not have suspicious.

    9, from the cheap coach purses office came out, stupid farming further learned that it the Cantonese was originally a formal job, because laid-off coach factory only to Guangzhou to work very optimistic that Cantonese Far East to move so the job, if he were with his life experiences, it is necessary to understand the move so the job than the stupidity farming in the Far East more Cantonese chatter Susu with stupid Geng said, give it a try anyway, to feel bad, it certainly will be dismissed out that Cantonese move so the job of the Far East, there is no settled down, variables.

    Stupid farming mouth wanted from that older employees learned about the Far East to move so this work, stupid farming generally do not like to find out from someone else, but stupid farming is actually very mouth from others to find out what happens, and that old employees but why do not want to reveal about the Far East to move so the job, vague buzzing murmur, the old employees just talked to dry to move so the line not alone contribute on the line, but also speaking skills, Do not break something that older employees seem to be seen, stupid farming even picking up two sets of overalls ID card and a deposit of 250 dollars, even if the country does not guarantee the into had to move so this line seems to imply stupidity farming should think coach purses outlet into had to move so would not join this line, variables, and even more do not have to talk about wages like.

    Stupid Geng also did not think he found the job of the Far East to move so will this line into the move so stupid farming no such mental preparation, stupid farming feel like the older employees who he can be seen that the Far East move house job is how nature, he definitely has that older employees do not become the kind of look that older employees will become the kind of look into moving houses line, he do not care in moving houses this line .

    Far louis vuitton purses East to move so the job is the first job stupid farming work, stupid farming can be a strong sense of the Far East to move so significant job, almost indicates how about the prospect of his work, indicates his ability to work how samples should be treated carefully, emotions are running high, stupidity farming heart in addition to the Far East to move so the job, and then have no other ideas....
