Kirkwood, MO (KSDK) - The Republican race for the White House is moving to Missouri and Mitt Romney detailed cuts to reduce the debt, including Planned Parenthood.

(snip)

One on one, he detailed his plan to lower gas prices.

"We're going to start drilling again in the Gulf, we're going to drill in the outer continental shelf, we're going to drill in North Dakota, Oklahoma and Texas. That communicates to the world that there will be more supply coming from the U.S. And that affects the price of gasoline," said Romney.

(snip)
As for ways to reduce debt, he suggests a few cuts.

"The test is pretty simple. Is the program so critical, it's worth borrowing money from china to pay for it? And on that basis of course you get rid of Obamacare, that's the easy one. Planned Parenthood, we're going to get rid of that. The subsidy for Amtrak, I'd eliminate that. The National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities," he said.

What America will look like under the guidance of Mitt Romney

Drill baby drill. A nation of toxic waste.

Are we REALLY borrowing from China to pay for low income women's healthcare through Planned Parenthood, Amtrak travel across our land,
and programs offered through the Arts & Humanity Foundations that are there for all American citizens to enjoy?

Maybe the problem is people like Mitt, who avoid paying taxes via his offshore bank accts.

American life under Mitt's care. Expect nothing for the taxpayers

Thanks
Blaze

[Justice wanted]

1. This should sink his campaign. But watch it surge among the wingnuts.

[Blue_Tires]

4. Doubtful...Operation Rescue just endorsed Ron Paul

And Mitt wants to take that bloc before Santorum or someone else does...

[peace frog]

2. NO the fuck you aren't, Mittens

but as per usual, he's pandering to the teabaggers. If it was more advantagous tomorrow to support PP, we all know that Mitt would switch positions so fast he'd leave skid marks.

[MADem]

3. Now, there's a headline in reply to the snark that there's "no difference between the parties." nt

[Blaze Diem]

6. This poor Country. I am so pissed at his comments. He's a Tax Evader.

A**hole

[MADem]

11. Yes, he is all that--and more! He's a dog abuser, too! nt

[truthisfreedom]

5. Once again, the republican Taliban attack on women and the arts...

It never ends.

[Blaze Diem]

8. I think of my grandbabies and wonder what will be left for the free spirit in them.

Bleak future for them. Maybe I can move them somewhere??
His statements need to be heard by every American, not just the teabagging crowd in Missouri.

[polichick]

7. Desperation has really made this guy ugly - he's sold his soul.

[Blaze Diem]

9. Voting is critical this November. We need a dem majority in the House & Senate

It is THIS serious.
I 'get' the GOPs' pandering to the anti-planned parenthood issue, but Amtrak? Endowment for Arts & Humanities?

Guess we'll be all driving to musicals & performances about someone's idea of Jesus, on the GOP mandated Toll Roads. And you know those toll roads will be privatized. The funds made from them will not be put back into the American economy, because there WONT BE A NEED FOR AN AMERICAN ECONOMY. ahhhggggg!!!

[WingDinger]

39. Obama hasnt yet adddressed any of the primary luniness in commercials.

He should just use the campaign donations to fund the safety net, the clown patrol will do our campaign work. Not really. I will be pounding the pavement. But this draconian sadistic glee in deprivation will see us take the HOUSE.


Republicans laughed when we lost our houses.

Lets show them what losing the HOUSE feels like.

[KamaAina]

10. Funny how he never mentioned Amtrak when he ws governor of Mass.

[jmowreader]

37. It MIGHT have been because Mass is dependent on Amtrak...

as is most of the Northeast...but ya never know.

We could solve all of America's fiscal problems overnight by getting rid of one thing. Just one. But Mitt will never mention it because the "one thing" is the preferential income tax rate on capital gains.

Here's a little example of why the capital gains rate is fucked up that any redneck can understand. We'll call it the Kevin Harvick Rule.



This is Kevin Harvick driving the #29 Budweiser Chevrolet. Budweiser is made by Anheuser-Busch.

Kevin makes a lot of money driving this car. For every $1 million he earns driving this car, he is required to send $350,000 to the government.

If he were to buy stock in Anheuser-Busch, hold it a year and sell it for a $1 million profit, he would be required to send $150,000 of it to the government.

I'm sure you can see the hypocrisy in that.

[caseymoz]

12. He must have read the polls about that gender gap.

As for drilling in the Gulf, so we can release more oil on the world markets and make your buddies richer, Mitt? Or are you going to limit the free market and demand that oil be used domestically?

[glowing]

13. WTF, many Republicans do not want the Gulf of Mexico drilled in FL... What a dimwit.

Guess he hopes YouTube doesn't work in Florida, since he's in Missouri giving away our beautiful beaches. WTF do they think FL operates on? Oranges and Tourists; NASA was demolished, so all the smart people have left the state.. and the one's who get a college education leave in droves too for better work opportunities. FL really could have had an advantageous job market with the high speed rail project. We were supposed to have an Orlampa market... 2/3 of the cost was covered by the Federal govt, the other 1/3 had pledged private grant support from businesses around the world. China was looking for an larger city-like area that could be developed relatively cheaply with relatively cheaper laborers to expand into the US market with solar technologies. Could you imagine; we might not be Flori-Duh anymore?!

AND the initial "build" projected 24,000 jobs. So many people are so massively pissed off at the Gov... And on the other side, why did Obama have to play dick swords with these ass-hat republican teahadists? When Abe Lincoln built the Railroad during the middle of a Civil war, he certainly didn't ask permission for the Federal Govt to build the rail line state by state. Pres. Obama could design the transportation dept in a manner that forced imminent domain on the areas for the high speed rail, and we would be nearly 2 yrs into a major works project in the Tampa and Orlando area. On top of that, Pres. Obama could be standing in Tampa in front of the rail project while the dumb ass pukes try to remain relevant in the Convention Center for their national convention. It would have been hilarious.

Even republicans wouldn't vote for their asses if the train project had brought about good paying jobs for modern transportation for the middle and lower class people. Anyone who has been caught in horrible traffic from Tampa to Orlando knows what a major improvement hopping on a commuter train for approx. 30 mins would mean to their lives... On a good, no traffic problem day, it can take 90 mins to 2 hrs to drive; with an accident or "season", the traffic can back up and make the commute 3 or 4 hours.. And then there are the odd ball times a heavy fog rolls in, and have created some of the worst most deadliest pile-ups... I think it was last year or so that there was a 80 car pile-up.

The President just needs to do as much as he can to outshine and out-think the pukes; and that's really not all that difficult. He certainly doesn't need to campaign to the right or center anymore. The right is so far right, they fell off the cliff. The pendulum needs to swing wildly to the left to even out the last 40 yrs of horrible law-making. Just speaking about common sense subjects brings people into the fold.. Of course the loony-toon, hateful, fearful, selfish people that make up the GOP base is more than likely a lost cause and we just have to bring them kicking and screaming into the modern world with us.

35. too late... drilling is all over the Gulf of Mexico. Thats what really galls me, our FACT free M$M

source: http://green.blogs.nytimes.com/oil-spill-resources

Video chronology of oil platforms in the GOM...

:shakes-head:

[got root]

36. he may make that bed on the campaign trail (though he side stepped it here) he would never impose

such a restriction on his oil buddies/partners to make a global oil profit.

not if he is truly hoping to be elected.

[xxqqqzme]

14. "...The National Endowment for the Arts,

the National Endowment for the Humanities...."

So he would eliminate those programs? Does he propose how Arts and Humanities do reach out the middle/working class or are they unworthy?

Are 'Arts and Humanities' only for the people who can afford to participate? Who is waging class war now?

Every cut he lists is yet another assault in the rethugs class war.

[Blaze Diem]

15. yes indeed. Mitt must live in that OTHER USA.

Their goal is to grab every last dime from the taxpayers & from programs that are set up to support our well being & lifestyle.
They view every program & trust, paid into by the public tax dollars or matched by govt grants in order to support programs for future generations, as a bankroll free for their taking and ready to be simply moved to their corporate or personal offshore tax free accounts.

-------------------

So much for the churches and proponents that have brought an issue to the funding of Planned Parenthood with their tax dollars. According to Mitt, their tax dollars are not funding Planned Parenthood. China is.

16. AMTRAK ridership is at an all time high.. and growing daily.

As the price of gas goes up.. AMTRAK ridership goes up.

Obviously, Republican millionaires are not worried about transportation.. they have private jets and limos.

[Blaze Diem]

17. No More Public Funds for Amtrak. It will be Privatized

Along with Toll Roads
Everything goes in their pockets

[HuskiesHowls]

25. Prior to Amtrak, it WAS private companies providing rail transportation

They couldn't make any money providing passenger service, so passenger rail service was taken over by The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (dba Amtrak), a government owned corporation. So, to not provide funds for Amtrak, will destroy all inter-city passenger service in the US, basically.

Ah, what does he care, anyway....its only "non-rich" people who ride trains.

[Blaze Diem]

26. That's just it. He doesn't have to care.

Its sick

[Blaze Diem]

18. Hardball/Chris Matthews is running a clip of this now

Mitt's Missouri pandering speech..

[David__77]

19. He's such a creepy opportunist.

He has no principles, left or right or whatever. You can guarantee that if the Republicans are stupid enough to nominate him, that he will be singing an entirely different tune after cinching it. Though I don't think Romney is likely to win an election for president, his presidency would be very good for the left, and very bad for the right - especially the "social right." They'd be totally frozen out.

[Blaze Diem]

20. They deserve to be 'totally frozen out'. This is the best of their best???

The New World Order is becoming a free-for-all

[Turbineguy]

21. Actually the GOP is going to get rid of anything

having to do with planning.

[Blaze Diem]

23. Of course, because that would cost taxpayer dollars that could be moved to their

bank accounts instead.

They have NO plan for this Nation beyond that goal.

[sarcasmo]

22. Greed is a disease and Mitt has that disease.

[Blaze Diem]

24. Yes Greed & the dillusional belief that God has 'chosen you for a very special purpose'

To fulfill their God's prophecy...Mitt & Santorum BOTH believe they are THEE chosen prophet.

weirdos

[tabasco]

30. No, greed is a choice.

Greed is a vice.

Calling it a disease is like freepers calling Limbaugh's pill-popping a disease.

[carla]

27. This is why Rmoney will never be

president. He can't even see failure of the Komen fiasco, and hitches his star to this leadball "idea". "Moron" needs a new spelling, I choose "Romney"...

[Blaze Diem]

28. Santorum isn't far behind in this idiot thinking. He's got his own set of wtf statements.

This country is effed with either of them.
From the looney lodge to the White House.

Astounding that so many people stand to listen & applaud the horse crap they speak.

[Canuckistanian]

29. China is financing WARS, not American women's health

God, he's a bigger idiot than I thought. And I didn't think much of him BEFORE this.

[unkachuck]

31. "Planned Parenthood, we're going to get rid of that."

....the race is on....who's going to be gotten rid of first, Planned Parenthood or slick willard, the rich wall-street Mormon?

....if I were a betting man, I'd put my money on slick willard, the rich wall-street Mormon....

[alp227]

32. Smart voters: Mitt Romney, we're going to get rid of him.

[got root]

33. Whats the costs of all the subsidies (tax breaks) big oil, banks, finance, MIC, corporate etc.

on our bottom line is?

How come we don't hear about those numbers, and it's always the social programs?

Doesn't anyone in our M$M know that oil production peaked in the U.S. decades ago?

I know... facts, unfortunately, are not popular in our ultra-capitalist society any more, at least with the fat cats and their tools (M$M), so none of that matters when perception is everything. But you (or at least I) would think that with all our 'freedom' of the press, and expansion in communication, with the paradigm shift in the reach and volume, of even an average citizens voice and ideas, in the advent of the www, that at least the rhetoric of them trying (perpetually) to justify their sins would have changed. However, even with all that 'progress', we seem to be slipping even more and more into the inequities of thought and stale, dangerous, prejudiced ideas of the past.

on the other hand, when you consider how much control the enemies of the people have over the matrix, i mean the M$M, I guess it all adds up.

Mission Accomplished.

34. Even if he is not successful in killing Amtrak,...

...I'm sure he would find some other way to fuck it up, like putting the goon squads with their machine guns and porno scanners at train stations as well as airports so they can intimidate the people who stay on the ground, too.

[lib2DaBone]

38. If he gets rid of AMTRAK...the United States...

.... will be the ONLY industrialized country in the WORLD without passenger rail service.

How's that for "we're number one"?
