Neither candidate has the authority to develop jobs.

I read an article in a magazine that Bill and Melinda Gates have invested in several growing corporations that combined to bring several million new jobs to America. I remember when Douglas Aircraft and Hughes Tool did the same thing under Defense Contracts. Romney is acting like an Emperor instead of a business executive. He has not brought a single item to the table to do anything for America except put women back to the 1950s.

I heard a discussion that Romney was responsible for Bain to sell out something in China and made 115 million dollars that was transferred to an island off the shore of France. Had he presented his tax returns in a timely fashion this would have been exposed. I have no problem with him being wealthy but he seems to have all the tricks to keep from paying federal taxes. He expects the rest of us to pay our share but he refuses. This is not just a lack of integrity by it is illegal. He will change the law the moment he is inaugurated. That does not bother me as much as what he intends to do to women. We should not be paid equal to men and we must not have an accidental pregnancy when our birth control fails. If we work, we must get home in time to fix dinner and of course never expect the father of our children to be home when they are needed.

My age group knew better than to even ask for the above actions. Apparently the men in my age group resented being asked to help and this has not changed.

Americans tend to use religion as a crutch to guide them into their lives. The churches are not set up to tell us what not to do. Most of us have taken the use of right over wrong rather than use our religious leaders to do it for us.

America has a large number of humanist scientists who work for the betterment of all humans, not just a hand full of White, Christian Straight Men.

Our Federal Government has the responsibility to represent all of us.I know all about Romney’s faith and it has no responsibility to protect any of us other than the church members. We share a great grandfather who has a terrible history of killing in the name of Jesus Christ. It is not a religion for the betterment of non-members. It is a church for white men only.

Romney’s religion wants a Christian Supreme Court removing rights from women and that affects me as I have two daughters and a grand daughter. America is for all citizens.

This is my first vote for a Democrat because the GOP has turned into a government for rich men only. I’ll take my chances with President Obama.

I fear for the American people if Romney wins as he shows no sympathy for those who have taken such a bad hit in this economy. The last thing we need is for the Democrats to do to Romney what the Republicans did to Obama. The whole government seems to want to play “gotcha” instead of focussing on a correction or collaboration working on a fix.

In the 14 years I have read Doug Thompson, he has not “given a damn” about whatever the current political situation is.

He made his stash in a PAC, moved to rural Virginia, and now virtuously shoots slings and arrows at the very machine that made him a rich man.

When you started your effort to turn things around a few years ago, I contributed. Was a good idea, but you gave up. it’s much easier to criticize than create,

Sad.
