84. How about this. You take responsibility for your own words

My paraphrase was accurate. You are promoting the view that Obama/Biden and Romney/Ryan are the same.

===========================

I think the people who made this ticket happen are hedging their bets, and sure to win either way.

If Romney/Ryan wins, the 1%'ers get everything they want, right out in the open. Full steam ahead, 8 o'clock, Day One.

If the very corporate Obama wins, he has a wonderful foil to play against as he's selling his "Grand Bargain", which is basically everything the 1% wants, watered down a tiny bit.

========================

You said it, now own it.
