					<description><![CDATA[Loyal,

Conservatives understand the common sense and logic that the government contributed GREATLY to the problems and that the reforms necessary is to greatly diminish government from the free market.

There is a lot of benefit you and liberals could stand to gain by researching Canada and the financial collapse our lack thereof.

Not one bank failure.

Not a home value collapse.

Research it. Otherwise you are negligent.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mostly he&#039;s up against himself. As a multimillionaire businessman I expected him to be somewhat more composed and quick on his feet, but no. He gets absolutely blindsided by things even he arranged for.

Not to mention, he&#039;s dealing with a GOP base which is completely allergic to the idea of governance. Romney&#039;s in a  bind: his base thinks government is the problem, so he can&#039;t offer government based solutions, but only the government has the authority to make the reforms needed to get the economy where it needs to be. What a shame. 

If he&#039;d put together a coherent plan for the future he&#039;d probably have a good chance of defeating Obama&#039;s marginally passable performance over the last four years. But doing so would be impossible from today&#039;s Republican party.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ll treasure that quote NEO. 

I won&#039;t go into the comments section though :-) 

I was thinking about my difference in communicating when it comes to my girlfriend also. She exercises exactly what you are saying when she brings  her feelings to the discussion and it is extremely difficult in MOST conversations to nail down clarity. But I do succeed. I do because we each expect due diligence from each other. Yes each conversation gets frustrating but i&#039;m relieved when there is progress. There just isn&#039;t enough time to give that much due diligence to people we don&#039;t know on a blog. Especially when they give so little thought to their first comment. Laziness is an indicator.

					<description><![CDATA[Nice job at Market Ticker, rickl. 

It disturbs me that people who are as well informed as those who read Market Ticker can be so bull headed about this issue. The only chance we have is Romney. It may be slim, but it&#039;s a chance. With Obama - Zero!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Marginal votes are the ones that will be depressed by this wave of gloom sweeping conservative partisans (I&#039;m not talking about you here Neo; you&#039;re the best). 

People might think, &quot;Well, Romney has no chance of winning. Might as well not vote, or at least, I&#039;ll vote for the guy I really want.&quot; 

Even though I live in a blue state, I WILL NOT waste my vote on a third party candidate. As we&#039;ve seen, results from prior elections are the basis for poll weightings and resource allocations for future elections. I want my vote to unleash as much hurt as possible on the Democratic Party and their media allies. 

A vote for anyone other than Romney not only won&#039;t do that but would be welcomed by the Obama campaign. When I think about that possibility, I can vividly see, in my mind&#039;s eye, Obama coming to shake my hand to thank me for my help in his re-election. That makes me a bit ill.

Remember the danger of programs like Obamacare is not that the economy will immediately collapse or that the public will hate it upon implementation, but rather that we will become reliant on it much as the British are reliant on the NHS. A second Obama term will allow it to become as thoroughly embedded in our society as social security has become, and as difficult to reform.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[rickly, 

I read market ticker at least every few days, and while I agree with KD on most issues, I strongly disagree that &#039;purity&#039; is a wise choice.  Your post on the ticker was spot on. 

I remain in good cheer, BHO is returning to Hawaii and will finish his 3rd autobiography-memoir before the end of 2013.  Look for an Oprah appearance early in December, 2013 to pump up the Christmas book sales.

I&#039;ve been following it since last night and had held my tongue up until now, trying to find the right words.  Tonight I thought about copying and pasting Rachel Peepers&#039; comment at PJM.
