July deaths for Massachusetts presidential campaigns come in 3s

POSTED: Sunday, July 15, 2012, 9:26 PM

Michael Dukakis in a tank.

John Kerry not responding to the swift boat smear.

Now Mitt Romney and the curious case of the "retroactive" resignation.

July is where Massachusetts presidential campaigns go to die.

This is fantastic. I can't wait for the Dem attacks on Mormonism and good parenting.

Pretty obious you know NOTHING about business and finance, otherwise you would realize this whole "when did he leave" nonsense is just that. You really hate that much. This whole "felon" thing from Obummers campaign is hate speech.

it remains to be seen whether this whole thing with Romney and Bain has any legs. Polls are already showing that voters do not care one diddle about it, but it is keeping Romney on the defensive so I expect Obama to keep it up. The longer he keeps the media talking about Bain, the less people focus on his own record.

Why would anyone reward a President with their vote who has done a lousy job??? Many of his promises had been lies. restore habeas corpus?? how about infinite detention.Transparency??? executive privilege in the fast and furious and how about the trans pacific pact done in secret, breaking all Obamas treat promises. Close gitmo??? Didn"t go to work for fat cat bankers??? where are the handcuffs for financial fraud Mr Pres???? I will end these wars first thing, you can take it to the bank. deficits are a failure of leadership. The joke is on you Will, this is George bush's third term
BTW tear down this Obama myth. He sucks

just a note the ATF under bushes leadership lost guns to the Cartels three times. There was not a peep about it. Look I dont care for dem or Repub.. Obama has not committed to all his promises but what politician does? The Repubs have no plan...Romney has no plan and no answers,He should change his name from Mitty to Flippy.
Okay let's see war in Iraq,afganistan pretty much over ,Bin Laden dead. The big three car companies are paid up and are moving right along with record car sales in march.The country is coming out of the death spiral. Remember mitty is on record with letting the car companies fail and Georgy was quoted as saying "we are not looking for Bin Laden anymore". funny for a country so broke I see alot of people traveling on vacation,purchasing goods. The malls are always packed is it really as bad as your fox news polls say it is? Motorcycle sales are up,gas prices are down..What are Mitts answers and what is his game plan? Remember the Tea party and Republican mantra...jobs jobs jobs...Well other than dismantling unions, violating womans rights and worrying about gay marriage what have they done to help and where are the jobs they promised? Who do you vote for?

Certainly there is as much to this as there is to Obama's birth certificate, or charges he is a socialist. And probably as much, or more, than the real story of so-called "Fast and Furious", which was actually the result of gun rights laws, not the ATF. But the liar, liar pants on fire party is all in an uproar about Romney being caught with an inferno around his knees and ankles.

Anyone ever notice how Republicans wanted to blame Clinton for 9/11. Nine months in Bush's appointed presidency. They were still blaming Clinton in 2006 for the economy.

Yet they want to blame Obama for not restoring the country in 3 years after Bush took us from a surplus to a depression in 8.

Here is the question. Since Romney wants to lower taxes even further. Which hasn't worked in 10 years. And loosen regulations when the unregulated derivatives market crashed the economy. Which the GOP still refuses to do.

If the Republican policies haven't changed and Mitt's are worst than Bush.

Why would you expect the GOP to fix the economy they destroyed.

"Pretty obious you know NOTHING about business and finance, otherwise you would realize this whole "when did he leave" nonsense is just that." . . . . . . . . . LOL, it's nonsense alright. Try finding "retroactive retirement" in a business dictionary.

I'm President, Chairman & sole shareholder - but I had no control over the firm at all. The buck stopped with the janitor.

Happens all the time in businesses - Jack Welch? Steve Jobs Warren Buffet? Absolutely had no control over their firms & made no decisions - just read the by laws - all power was with the cleaning staff.

So - who'll be running the country if Mitt wins? The White House tour guides?
