That is not correct.

He has been told this before but has yet to admit this unpleasant truth.

From the perspective of a working man, GWB is still much better than Obama or even Clinton. If you're a taker, I understand your perspective of good and bad are different.


GWB may be the worst in modern times. The invasion of Iraq is a huge mistake that is still costing the US and world. He was giving tax breaks while at the same time creating huge deficits during good economic times. That's when it is important to balance budgets. He has the highest deficit on record. He was no fiscal conservative.

The current President promised change, but he is continuing the wasteful and profligate policies of his big-spending predecessor.


Still way to much welfare spending.

If "true conservative" means someone like you, that is a point in Romney's favor.

If you are genuinely concerned and upset about the number of Americans living in poverty, why do you seem do adamantly opposed to raising the minimum wage, which could help reduce the number of working poor living in poverty?

The pic shows a column six times higher than previous ones. (My approx on the pic.)
39.5/23 is 1.71
39.5/23.5 is 1.68

39.5 is approximately the 5/3 of 23; it is less than twice.

Just saying (without any pictures...).

All graphic I have the characters.

See the "obama" pic, in proportion:
23 M:
#######################

23.5 M (A half character longer):
#######################|

then 39.5 ...
#######################################|

It is a little longer than the others above; the picture we are talking about is lying

And please, don't hurt me with pictures... I am a second class member of this site, without pictures and damned to not read by the feature of moderator queue.

Then, a picture of penguins - maybe it would be a personal attack but it wasn't - is a blatant derailment. As Quasimodo's help to show that pic.

Trump has a better chance of winning this election than Romney did. The election of 2012 taught us that compromise does not win elections.
