Mitt Romney says Palestinian/Israeli conflict is not possible to solve

OK, let's examine that 47% a little more. I believe that a lot of those non-income tax payers are workers who would really like a job that they are qualified for and would require them to pay income tax, but Obama's policies have insured that such jobs have not/will not be created. Oh, yes, it was the Bush tax cuts that rellieved a lot of the low income folk from the tax levies.

I've got my popcorn and my Jameson all ready for the first debate on Wednesday next week. It should be a hoot!

Tom Mo, don't you know what you wrote? You said that all those who were not your "legitimate retirees" were "permanent welfare recipients who detest the word "work."" Since the 47% who do not pay income tax includes all of our soldiers in the field, many veterans living on their benefits and those working hard and paying payroll taxes but not making a big enough salary to pay income tax at W's minimum amount you included them in your thoughtless condemnation. PLEASE be more careful in the future as you are further alienating Mr Romney's few remaining followers.

the third post below is no mine I wish I knew who thje turd was

@IrelandNorth, you use a lot of big words and phrases in your summing up of how Ireland has arrived at its present state. Why didn't you simply use simple simplistic words and phrases which would have been more suitable to your very simplistic summary.

If the Palestinians are not properly armed they will be oppressed even more. What a ridiculous statement from hooligan. Just a mo Tom take off those George Bush blinkers!!

No need to worry about Israel, obama's foreign policy and appeasement strategy will allow Iran to fulfill their threat and drive them into the sea, so you can all relax problem fixed.

PS The Island of Ireland was granted to the Anglo-Norman King Henry II of England by Pope Adrian II (another Englishman!) by papal bull - Laudibiliter. The Anglo-Norman conquest of Ireland was aided and abetted by Diarmuid Mac Murchadha/Dermot Mc Murrough, (King of Leinster/eastern Ireland and the foreigners). The Act of Union, 1800/'01 which annexed the Island of Ireland into a United Kingdom with the island of Great Britian was a constitutional sleight-of-hand. Home Rule for the Island of Ireland was prevaricated, procrastinated and obfuscated for almost a century in the British Parliament. The neo-provincial statlet of Northern Ireland was/is a byproduct of a la carté loyalty, sedition and subversion by Ulster (sic) unionists, a precedent for reactionary republican physical force/political violence on the Island of Ireland.

Some problems were specifically designed to be irresolvable. The 1948 State of Israel in Palestine was/is an Anglo-American constitutional checkmate to contain the mass hysteria of Arab theocracy, as also to protect more material interests. Candidate Romney's macroeconomic theology predicates that he see things in 53:47 ratios, an election result his aids may be trying to manufacture. As a conspicuous Anglophile, how sympathetic can he be to a united Ireland? Lamenting a perceived lack of appreciation of White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) culture in the American body politic, was that as close as they could get within the strait-jacket of political correctness to casting aspersions on the demerits of multiculturalism. As a certified Jerusalem Pilgrim (Apr 09) who experienced Palesrael/Israstine very positively, I feel any city or state which peaceably moderates the sacred sites of the worlds 3 monotheistic religions can't be all bad. The 3rd most significant site in Islam after Mecca and Medina is the Dome of the Rock Mosque in Jerusalem, adjacent to the Western Wall of the Jewish Second Temple wrecked by Roman Legions in AD 70. Christendom's Church of the Holy Sepulchre (considered site of Christ's crucfiction) stands nearby. Would "... the city that murders its prophets" be administered as tolerantly under the supervision of a Grand Vizier.

If the Palestinians would lay down their arms today there would be peace today. If the Israelis would lay down their arms today they would be slaughtered

EphraimKibbey. Read what I wrote "many of the 47% are legitimate retirees and he will get their votes." I am one of them, So shag off you cowdung artist.

Tom Mo, you just called all of our soldiers in the field, many veterans living on their benefits and those working hard and paying payroll taxes but not making a big enough salary to pay income tax at W's minimum amount "permanent welfare recipients who detest the word "work."" No wonder our active military and most of our labor force favor Obama. As Romney should have, so should you, check out the actually make up of the 47% who do not pay income tax before you disparage their names. Incidentally Romney pays Capital Gains tax not REAL Income Tax either. It is high time he got a REAL job where he had to sweat a bit but I have no intention of offering him the one he is asking for.

Romney's next statement on the tape is even more telling. He said that he got a call from a previous secretary of state (Colin Powell?) who told him that he thought he saw a path to peace in the middle east. Romney said that he did not DELVE into what that path might be. Maybe Secretary/General Powell will share it with President Obama since Mitt could care less. So if Mitt doesn't care about the 47% and doesn't care about Armageddon, he seems a bit narrow minded. Oh Yea, he's a capitalist and "What's good for General Bullmoose is good for the USA." Where is Al Capp's insight into the ultimate capitalist when it is really needed.

Romney is right on the Palistinian/Israel conflict and also on the 47%. Many of the 47% are legitimate retirees and he will get their votes if they read anything other than Irish Central, the rest are permanent welfare recipients who detest the word "work."

I wonder if Mitt will lead the troops to battle or will he force the 47% to do his fighting for him. One thing is sure he or his sons will be safe in some Mormon temple he built whilst the middle class and the poor die in battle, as they did for the terrorists Bush,Rumsfeld,Cheney and Rove.
