The district attorney in Oshkosh says judges are illegally limiting his right to carry a concealed weapon in his courthouse, and he’s filing a petition today with the State Supreme Court to get that changed.

Romney: “In 2008, Pres. Obama campaigned on Hope and Change. This year, he’s campaigning on Hope, and changing the subject.”

Curious Alice. Where do you stand on a national level? Do you think the country is going in the right direction?
I’ll admit, I’m not a huge Romney fan, however, I am for anyone who wants less government control of business. Obama has clearly shown he has no problem with hurting business growth, EXCEPT for the Wall Street executives that will feed his campaign.

Romney: “Ronald Reagan’s philosophy of peace through strength is why the Iranians released the hostages on the same day and at the same hour that Reagan was sworn in.”
Romney: “In the 2012 State of the Union address, President Obama didn’t even mention the deficit or debt.”
Romney: “The U.S. military is at risk of losing its military superiority because our Navy is smaller than it’s been since 1917. Our Air Force is smaller and older than any time since 1947.”
Romney: “President Obama’s health care law represents a government takeover of health care.”
These are all untrue statements. I thought Mormons were against lying?

Do you really expect Alice to answer a question? I guess it’s good to hope and wish for a change.
I get a kick out of the one-sided, “These are all untrue statements” vision Alice displays. Hardly a day goes by without Obama breaking a campaign promise (to be the most transparent President in history), or doing exactly what former Senator Obama condemned (executive privelage), or doing exactly what President Obama said he wouldn’t do (suspend deportation law when Congress doesn’t pass “The Dream Act”…the action the Constitutional Law professor realizes doesn’t follow the Constitution. I’m trying to figure out why we even need a Congress these days.)

No – you are a teapartier aren’t you? And yes – although I don’t agree with him on everything – I believe Obama has us headed in the right direction after bush/cheney did 8 years of massive damage to our country.

that is the old blame bush response, I agree President Bush did spend too much and I am not a big fan of his on that point but the financial mess we have been is larger than president Bush if you remember the recession was caused by a bubble that popped and if you remember it was the housing and derivitive market that caused this financial mess. Also if you remember it was under president Clinton that made it so easy for anybody to get a home mortgage and the roots of the easy loans started under President Carter. A lot of people that should of never had home loans got them. Banks bought the worthless loans and many of them around the world went bankrupt. Thus the financial crash of 2008. There is another bubble out there growing and it is called the pension bubble and luckily in Wisconsin we have a Gov that understands that. When that bubble bursts it may make the housing derivitive bubble look small and that is also why we need someone else in the office of the President and I hope president Romney will understand that. I know you will not understand that. If you want to see a preview of a Pension bubble just look at Greece.

I wouldn’t consider myself a teapartier at all. Closer to a libertarian than anything. I want LESS government and I certainly don’t want to fun activities for people that are able to create their own livings without government intervention. Yes, there are situations the government should step in…immigration, national security and caring for those who CANNOT care for themselves. There are far too many people and groups (i.e. UNIONS) sucking on the teet of the government that don’t let people fend for themselves. There is NOTHING more ridiculous than what the unions have done to schools. The sooner the public schools start operating like a business and reward the good while weeding out the bad, the sooner our education system will flourish.

“I believe Obama has us headed in the right direction”
So you agree with Obama 100%? Or is it 75%? Or is it 50%? If it’s anything but 100%, what do you disagree with?
I find your reply so general, it has little meaning. If you like what Obama is doing, why don’t you cite specific policies/actions?

bac, go back to MN. Even MN officials were asked to delay their photo op….oops, visit….so as not to be underfoot and detract from immediate demands of small town officials.
How do you know Walker HASN’t been in touch with Superior officials? And btw, you need to take off your lib glasses, Bush had been in contact with NO/LA officials who expressly told him they DID NOT need federal assistance prior to Katrina hitting. And as soon as NO/LA officials contacted the feds, help was sent. Blame the fools…the local officials.

Alice, why do you bring up religion I thought that religion was off the table when a liberal person is running for office. Frankly I could care less what religion a person is it is what he will do in the office. Can you ever make an argument on anything with out attacks or talking points. When ever someone asks you to give an intelligent argument you totally ignore that post of make a smart comment after it

Oh Alice,
I agree/disagree as much with the Morman religion as much as I do the Muslim religion. I’ve studied neither in-depth, have read/heard the radical claims about both, and dismissed that info totally. Why? The election is about electing a US president, not the head of a national religion. You really should try to be more tolerant of religious choice, sweetie…
Alice, why don’t you move to the US city that has a 50+-year history of Democratic Party leadership, with an economy built on union manufacturing…Detroit?
HIgh points (or low points, depending upon ideology) from an investment newsletter I saw at a relatives: (copying is prohibited)
Detroit has been ruled since the 1960′s by the Dem party; progressive plans and taxes steadily imposed on the city resulting in greed, avarice and coruption; the result: Detroit has lost 80% of its population, mainly middle/working class, leaving one of the poorest and violent cities in the US; entire neighborhoods of empty houses being bulldozed.
A contributing factor: automaker unions. The author recounts how he wrote in 2007 if the GM bankruptcy would proceed in normal free-market proceedings, Detroit would emerge as one of the fastest growing cities in the world.
Instead, Obama appointed Steve Rattner (who was under investigation at the time for bribing NY state pension officials) to “oversee” the reorganization. The result: the unions received 40% of GM equity, bond holders and the US government lost 80% of their claims; GMs pension plan was left untouched.
At the end of the 2011 (post-bankruptcy!), GMs future pension obligation stood at $108 BILLION, which is MORE money than GM HAS EVER MADE in cumulative profit. 70,000 employees have to sustain the pension of 700,000 retirees.
And, long-term debt at GM has DOUBLED since the “reorganization”, and now stands at $10 billion. Now that’s a resume enhancer for Obama’s business acumen!
So why don’t you move to Detroit for a year Alice? Live the good life in a Dem city in a Dem state, and blog about it. I’ll contribute $10 to your moving expense. I’m sure you’ll be able to take your UW-enhanced resume and land a great private sector job in your ideological heaven.

wrong again maybe a few crazies out there but if there was any religion questions it was with his preacher Rev wright? but that is so 2008 and that was the discussion that the left kept bringing up that religion should not be part of the discussion and it is not really a topic for 2012 and if he is a muslim what effect would that have on him running the country compared to Romney being a morman that should be a dead issue and we should be looking at the future because no matter who is elected we have a debt problem spending problems and an unemployment problem in this country that need to be solved and I would be more interested on hearing how you think President Obama would fix those problems but I guess you have no Idea

Whatever pal. Yeah, the right is still claiming that Obama is Muslim – however when you bring up that fact that Romney is a Mormon they object. Too funny – they can dish it out but certainly cannot take it…

I’ve yet to meet any local person who talks about Obama’s birth place or religion; or claims to be a tea partier. Most people I know are trying to economically stay alive whose daily problems keep them so occupied they don’t care about your talking points.
Why don’t you come up with solutions, Alice…or at least tell us what Obama is going to do to solve problems. What about the debt? What about jobs? What about spending? If you take all the money from “the rich”, that solves the debt problem for a couple of weeks….then what? do you go to a money tree and start picking off 20-dollar bills? Where’s the money tree?

Alice see you did not answer any of my questions again you just had to rehash the morman/muslim thing again which tells me you can’t tell me anything other than talking points. Here is some help as a liberal/socialist you can bring up the virtue of Keynsian economics, taxing the rich to spread the wealth around and how big government is going to save the world. I would like an intelligent debate on here on how we fix our problems
