What chaps our taxpaying ass is the folk that are getting paid for writing an 85 page regulation that outlaws child labor on farms which is immediately withdrawn because of public outrage. Now those law-degree-having-ass-mfs need to be disemployed, forthwith.Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851172531918114393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-75284950719054363462012-04-26T20:37:59.542-04:002012-04-26T20:37:59.542-04:00I like Romney but his attack on the federal workfo...I like Romney but his attack on the federal workforce is shameless. I, too, enjoyed his speech and flipping of the fairness issue. That was until I heard him say this: "we will stop the unfairness of government workers getting better pay and benefits than the taxpayers they serve."<br /><br />As a former naval officer and enlisted man and current FSO, it chaps my rump to no end hearing these constant attacks on our jobs. If the FS was magically insulated from the pay freezes and not lumped in with all CS government employees, then it might not be so bad. Damn it, I work as hard if not harder than I worked in the Navy and don't expect to be attacked for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-53795294335482048352012-04-26T12:38:02.222-04:002012-04-26T12:38:02.222-04:00The challenge with the Governor is that he passion...The challenge with the Governor is that he passionately delivers an earnest well written speech designed for just what the audience wants to hear. You can find equally well delivered speeches during his campaign for Governor, mind you he will be passionately and eloquently arguing against almost everything he does here.<br /><br />I loved the speech. I just hope against hope that the Governor governs in such a fashion.avidusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-56049725253628709322012-04-25T20:43:11.184-04:002012-04-25T20:43:11.184-04:00I expected to hold my nose and vote for Romney.

If Romney can keep this up, he presents a stark contrast to the divisiveness of the Obama campaign...and a message of hope and optimism for the future. This is Hope and Change that I can embrace.Neil Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172968066805528359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-30540347792959001712012-04-25T16:54:56.392-04:002012-04-25T16:54:56.392-04:00"only finished paying off our college loans e..."only finished paying off our college loans eight years ago?"

I expect this campaign to be brutal, but it looks like we have someone who will dish it back. Have been longing for that from our side.
