Ladies and Gentlemen, I have my own plan, maybe.

It appears that Mit Romney wants to move away from Paul Ryan’s budget plan. At least as it is seen in public. Romney might want to look as if he has his own plan but if the time comes when he might be elected President Romney will completely embrace the Ryan plan. Yes, “bait and switch.” Flip-flop. Put your right foot in and your right foot out and shake it all about, cha cha cha.

None the less, what you see now is not what you will see and hear later. Smoke and mirror. Total deception and dishonesty. Seemingly the normal for Mit and Paul. The Republican game of “Got-ya !”

In the mean while, reporters and journalists need to step up their questioning about Mit Romney’s income tax returns. It is oh so obvious he is without a doubt hiding something. Something like having not paid taxes for many years. At best perhaps paying as little as one or two percent income tax. An embarrassing amount and Romney surely resists admitting such. Paying no tax is the symbol of not caring and being unpatriotic. Certainly not a Presidential image. So, we can only assume he paid no taxes. A shameful position for any politician to be in.

Now is the time to ask questions. Be insisting on the truth. Don’t give up until the full truth is known. Our whole American way of life is on the line. There is evil intent out there and it must be nipped in the bud. Stopped. Killed and buried. Let’s preserve Americanism. “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” And most of all, free from extreme right wing bait and switch politics. God bless America. God bless the entire world as well.

See the truth. Hear the truth. Write the truth.

Where is Edward R Murrow when he is needed. Where is the journalist or commentator who will speak out about politics that wishes to dismantle our American way of life. Who has the guts to expose blatant con men wanting to steal the wealth of America. Just as Ryan and Romney do. Pandering to the super wealthy and big corporate interests.

What is galling these days journalist hand out the Edward R Murrow award each year for journalistic excellence. Especially since no one has ever achieved the excellence that Murrow had. Certainly making a mockery of the prestigious award. Come on guys! Have the fortitude and determination to write and expose such political debauchery. What are you afraid of? Finding the truth? Retribution from your peers? Being accused of being the liberal media?

All America wants is honesty and truthful journalism. Take a chance. Go for it!

Who took my hair spray?

Two white guys with nice hair. Is this what it will take to win the Whitehouse this fall? Only if President Obama and Joe Biden are taken by space aliens. A billion to one long shot. Most likely, space aliens would be more inclined to take two guys with nice hair.

First of all, neither are female. Neither are Hispanic. Neither are African-American. Neither are blue collar. Neither are middle class. Neither identify with struggling work-a-day Americans. Neither came from grass roots America. Neither had to struggle to raise a family and send their kids to college on a shoe string. Both are just two white guys with nice hair.

Neither agree with the needs of most Americans. America’s like their Medicare just the way it is. Americans want Social Security just the way Roosevelt set it up. Americans want jobs that last and with benefits. Americans don’t want pipeline jobs that last a few month and then laid off. Americans want benefit for the poor and it’s children. America want the very rich to pay their fair share of taxes. American don’t buy into the notion of trickle down. Americans are too smart to fall for such Republican foolishness.

Never the less, what does this Paul Ryan thing have to do with Mit Romney’s missing tax returns anyway? Romney is still hiding his secret life as tax evader and off shore banker. Ryan is just a brief distraction to the Romney train wreck. Ryan is just a poster boy for nice hair and hidden social engineered agendas. Thank you Newt for pointing this out.

Just flat out no for Ryan and Romney.

Public school education.

Letter to the Editor: Good old days. Nancy Sherman, Tulsa. I am thankful to have attended school back when Americans valued providing children with the best education possible. Public schools then educated the generations of mathematicians and scientists who invented and/or developed most of the medicines, safe vehicles, electronic devices - virtually all the products that make our lives what they are today. Public schools provided the education and training that resulted in the rise of the middle class. It's a rare self-made millionaire who didn't attend public schools and a state-funded college or university. Back then, state colleges were funded to the point that students and parents paid approximately 10 percent of the cost. Taxpayers paid for the rest - and did so willingly because they knew they were sponsoring the future. Today, public schools are laying off teachers and closing schools. Today's students graduate from state colleges with such a heavy load of debt they may never be able to pay it off. Back then, most Americans actually considered it their patriotic duty to provide all children with the best education possible. They knew our future depended on it, and our lives today are the better for it. Today, we keep lowering the top tax rates, and lowering funds available for our schools. Is it worth risking our children's future so that people who make millions every year can keep every penny of it? What are we thinking? Letters to the editor are encouraged.

Ryan is just the last nail in the pine box.

Paul Ryan? Hmm. All I know about Paul Ryan is he formulated a very mean spirited house budget. A budget favoring the rich and dismantling Medicare. Is this what we want?

Perhaps just for a minute or two it will take the heat off Romney but not for long. Romney still has his issues. Not paying taxes is his biggest hurdle to jump. Along with a hundred other Romney warts.

None the less, the two men now are two lightening rods. Making it two targets to shoot at instead of one. But anyway, Romney will still get his licks from the media. Ryan is not a big enough shield to protect Romney. Matter of fact, the heat will be turned up even more on Romney. As it should be. How stupid of Mit Romney to think Ryan would be a distraction. Romney is already a political distraction. A distraction from the RNC and its regressive policies. Oh how idiotic. One has to feel sorry for the Republican ticket.

I didn't say that! Did I?

How could one go around saying something that is completely opposite of what he had originally said. Especially since what was originally said is on video or in print. Baring witness to previous spare of the moment proclamations. Therefore contradicting what was recently said. Are you following me?

Of course, we are talking about Mit Romney. Who else? Just ask him about a policy from his political or business past and he usually will not remember what was said. Or change his mind on the spot. “Oh well, that was back then.” Or, “I don’t remember what I said but I stick with what I said. Whatever I said. What did I say anyway?” Oh please, get real!

It would be safe to say by now, Mit Romney is the Flip-flop King of all America. Maybe both North and South. Saying things that best suit his current audience. Forgetting what position he had taken a few years back. And, it’s not like he had re-thought his past words and then eventually changed his mind. No. It’s more like tell them what they want to hear. Making it up on the spot. “Just forget what I had said before anyway.” Thinking he could just erase everything he had said in the past by applying some magic Republican pixie dust. Just talk with a clean slate. Time and time again. Talk with no past. Bloviating with a clear conscience each and every time. “I have no past. I have nothing to worry about. No one remembers what I said anyway.” Oh really?

Never the less, this speaks poorly of his policy advisors and handlers. Either his handlers are giving him bad advice before each public appearance or Romney ignores what they are telling him. Whichever, he almost always puts his foot in his mouth. How stupid can a man be? You can answer that yourself.

Even old white men need to retire. And, ASAP.

If there ever was a good time to clean out the congressional dead wood, it right now. Congress is where it is NOT happening. Congress is comatose. Asleep at the wheel. Out to a long lunch. Fallen off the wagon again. Simply not working as designed. They have been making a career of doing mostly nothing. Thanks to their lobbyist friends.

Vote for America. Send the TEA party back down the rabbit hole. Send the rich and wealthy a message. It’s time to pay the rent. Your dues are way past due. America is tired of subsidizing your slothful decadent life style.

Never the less, we need more women in congress. We need more Latinos and African Americans in congress. We need people willing to roll up their sleeves and get to work. Time is wasting. America needs a fix. America needs jobs. Not rancorous party bla bla bla.

Send the good old white boy back home to retire. Give them the retirement party of their life. Fire them!!! Old farts, all of them.

I smell something. Are your pants on fire again?

Once again and with no surprise, Romney had twist the truth. More like drowning it in a bath tub. Just total lie and distortion. One more lie added to his growing lists of prevarications.

What is surprising is the medias blasé attitude about such blatant falsehoods. None the less, Romney and his truth benders have formulated another Romney distortion from their Pants on Fire alchemy lab. A real stink bomb. Pure 100-percent horse apple. Watch where you step.

Anyway, Romney and his toilet wizards have brewed up a slime a witch wouldn’t touch. Taking a law that President Clinton signed into law and the Romney mental midgets say Obama has dropped the ball on. Not so.

It is a welfare law that Obama has allowed each state to take more control of. And by the request of several Republican governors. Making it easier for the states to process this welfare law. But Romney and his trash haulers see it another way.

None the less, Romney insists on using lie and misrepresentation to garner him more votes. He has no other arrows in his quiver. If you can’t tell the truth and win, then lie. It works almost every time. Smoke and mirrors is a Republican’s best friend. Just ask Carl Rove and the late Lee Atwater. Smearing, twisting, and smudging the truth really really works. It’s the Republican way of doing things.

But anyway, I am becoming more and more shocked how Republicans use falsehood as a major tool in their campaigns. What is really surprising is, most Republicans are professed Christian or such moralist religionist. People of supposed high moral standards. Bible believing church goers. Whatever happened to “Thou shall not bare false witness?” Has it been struck from Moses’ tablet of stone? Once known as the ten commandments. It almost appears so. God help us all and save us from our sins. Amen.

It's not fair. Don't ask me those questions.

When I hear Mit Romney speak in public and is attempting to answer fielded questions, I hear a troubled man. A man who wishes not to answer vexing questions. Especially questions from news reporters.

Romney seems troubled because he wishes not to answer any questions not coming from friendly sources. Not that reporters are unfriendly but journalists are looking for answers to report to the general public. Answers that might tell a story about Mit Romney, who he is, and what does he stand for.

And my own feelings is he wishes to hide who he is. Not willing to reveal too much of his true intent. Which if most people knew about him just might change their minds and go to the other candidate. Let’s face it, Romney is hiding something. You can hear it in his stressed irritated voice. He is not accustomed to answering queries he wishes not to discuss. Becoming visibly flustered and angered. He knows the truth but doesn’t want others to know. None the less, he becomes nervous, angered, and sometimes irrational when reluctantly fielding hardball questions from the audience. Especially an audience of probing news reporters. That is when he gives irresponsible and unrehearsed answers. A most regrettable position for Romney to be in. And if you are old enough, you will remember President Richard Nixon sounding and looking like he has something to hide as well. Very much like what Romney is now saying and doing. Sweating, flustered, and visibly looking guilty. “I am not a crook.”

Survey. Quick and easy.

The three most pressing issues for millions of Americans are Jobs, education, and health care. Considering these troubling issues, give us three good reasons you would support Mit Romney for president. What programs does he offer to correct or enhance these three areas in most people’s lives.

So, What would be Mit Romney’s plans to make all this better for we Americans. What will be his policy on affordable Health care? How will he make public education better? What programs will Mit Romney put in place that will put more American’s back to work on a permanent basis?
