That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard, it is anti-obama but they do not advocate for the defeat of Obama?

It should be named Billionaires for More Prosperous Billionaires since that is probably who is funding this effort to corrupt our elections so they can step to the front of the line with their hand out for our tax dollars.

"according to the American for Prosperity statement, is an issue advocacy effort by Americans for Prosperity and does not expressly advocate for the success or defeat of any candidate for public office."
Another bright Republican comment.
Headline
Wow, so who wrote the headline? Talk about biased journalism
NL
The point is, they don't have to advocate. Just look at Obama's record and that is enough. So what's your beef?
David Koch funded group coming to Baxter?
Should be fun! Will Dick Morris and Tim Phillips be on board! Might have to come to town!
Are they
Giving out cool bumper stickers?? If so I will go so I can put them on some libs bumpers!!
Will Mitt be the billion dollar bust?
"No ad buy, direct mail drop, bus tour stop or robocall is too small for a news release or leak to a hungry political press corps.
Even Americans for Prosperity, the main political group of the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch (once regarded as the most secretive of secret spenders), has opened up about its spending, instructing its press shop to provide reporters with details about its $72 million worth of ad buys,
The reason is clear: Conservative super PACs and outside groups face the very real possibility they’ll have spent $1 billion and failed to elect Mitt Romney or deliver a GOP Senate.
That means professional political types could have a lot of explaining to do, especially to the rich donors who financed the record spending spree and are wondering if their investment was squandered.

Is anti-obama slogan from Tour or the Dispatch editor?
Obama is the poorest leader in our history except for Jimmy Carter.
I don't support Romney nor will I vote for the corporatist. Obama is worse.
The only logical and rational vote is to vote 3rd party as this election board is completely rigged. Their are other candidates running who are not allowed to debate.
They are proven to be more fiscally responsible and ACTUALLY promote individual freedom..

Normally I'd agree with you ,but We can not afford 4 more years (at least I can't)

Hey would that not be great for the great U.S.A.. Because 4 more years of Obama fixin things will all be on welfare.
Ya mean this Welfare...
Personally.......
Why am I so intent on helping Mitt Romney get his message out and electing him our next president?......Because we are at a very dangerous time in our history. And the greatest danger that we face is the infiltration of radical islam into our nation. I am alarmed at reports of Muslim Brotherhood supporters being given positions of power within our government.
Terrorist funders and sympatizers having access to the White House and even being seated at dinners with the president!
People.....wake up to islam! It is a cancer that has murdered, beheaded, and enslaved innocent people around the world for 1400 years!!! It is not a religion of peace any more than Nazism is a religion of peace. Its goal is the subjugation of all peoples by the sword, and a world dedicated to a moon god named allah. Look around your home. Examine the life of peace and liberty you live. Look at the lives of your beautiful children. Love them. Protect them. You will lose it all if the spread of influence into our country by islamic sympathizers is not stopped! That is why I fight and I CAN NOT BUT SHOUT IT!!!
obama
Name one thing he has done on his own for our country? Ok he did add10 trillion to our debt and 12 million to welfare. Your right that we really need 4 more years of him .

no that would for Obama's campaign contributers He pays them back very well. You see he has no budget, must be nice. nice picture to try to deceive people with your lies.
What has Obama done?
"Name one thing he has done on his own for our country? Ok he did add10 trillion to our debt and 12 million to welfare. Your right that we really need 4 more years of him ."
Just a few:
1) the economy turned around (amazing how we Americans have short term memory). A simple cheeck of 2008/early 2009 will reveal some alarming stats for you.
2). no major acts of terrorism on U.S. domestic Soil
3). Tax cuts (Biush era and FICA)
4) Saved Detroit which then helped anyone in the auto industry throughout the rest of America.
5) Obamacare: cannot be denied coverage now (admittedly, I am not a fan of this program, but millions of Americans will benefit)
6) Bin . . .who?
7) Has implemented teacher evaluation programs through his Race to the Top initiative in order to weed out all those bad teachers we hear so much about.
8) followed through with GWB's timelines in ending hostilities in Iraq and soon to be Afghanistan.
Is putting up with an obstructionist House one? Sure, why not?
It only makes sense to vote for a third party candidate...
...if voting for that candidate doesn't assure that the worst possible candidate will be elected. Unfortunately, this is a two person race and a vote for a third party candidate is a de facto vote for Obama.
Ask....
Ask Osama bin Laden if HE'S better off than he was four years ago!
I called Gander Mountain,
I asked if they were endorsing this kind of partisan political demonstration and what their stance was on the Presidential election... (just curious, mind you)
Management says they were in no way affiliated with this group, they don't endorse it, they were not asked permission by the group for use of their property, and they found out about this the same way everyone else did: By reading it in the paper..
Household 6
That is shocking! Isn't it their property? Or does WalMart own the front lot?
Don't forget, the surge in the stock market since 2009.
That is why the President has support from Wall Street and Main Street.
smart (lol)guy

The acting store manager in Baxter had every right to ask the bus to "keep on rolling", or be joined by a police escort off of their private property. They could have parked their bus in front of Cong. Cravaack's office, couldn't they? He drinks their brank of tea, if I'm not mistaken.
