New York Daily News

10/29/12

Filmmaker Joss Whedon believes Mitt Romney is the right man to lead America into a 'zombie apocalypse.' With Election Day looming, the staunch President Obama supporter and 'Avengers' director makes fun of Romney's policies in a YouTube video posted online on Sunday. ... 'Romney is ready to make the deep rollbacks in health care, education, social services, reproductive rights, that will guarantee poverty, unemployment, overpopulation, disease, rioting, all crucial elements in creating a nightmare zombie wasteland,' Whedon said...

Why Romney came out against FEMA

The New Republic
by Alec MacGillis

10/29/12

Watching one of the many Republican presidential debates, a CNN one in June 2011, I started at one exchange, and was surprised that it did not draw more comment afterward.

Romney willing to win without honor

Our Future
by Leo Gerard, United Steelworkers President

10/30/12

Mitt Romney kept quiet last week when the subject was rape and God s will. He remained silent the week before when the news was all about Illinois factory workers pleading with him to stop his alma mater Bain Capital from offshoring their jobs. At no time this year did Mitt denounce Republican employers who threatened their workers if President Obama is re-elected or condemn repeated Republican legislative attempts to suppress Democratic votes...

What Does Romney s Campaign of Lies Say About Our Country?

Dave Johnson, Campaign for America s Future: Policies based on lies lead to disasters. A population that has been primed to believe things that are not true is a population that can be herded into outrageous actions. If Romney is elected based on a campaign of lies, what will be left of us?

Dave Johnson, Campaign for America s Future: Whereas Solyndra was one of several companies working on solar technologies that the government thinks will help our economy; Sensata is a company that Mitt Romney s old company Bain Capital bought, and immediately announced they are moving the jobs and manufacturing equipment to China.
