    Below is a quote from a Yahoo News article dated Oct 26, 2012

    http://finance.yahoo.com/news/tax-policy-center-spotlight-romney-173604062.html

    The article did a through analysis of Romney's tax plan and sure enough the math doesn't work out. The head of the Tax Policy Center is a former Bush administration economist. Other economists outside the TPC have studied their methodology and declared it sound. so what does Romney say about the study? Read the article and find out. Shows you how shallow he is.

    'A small nonpartisan research center operated by professed “geeks” has found itself at the center of a rancorous $5 trillion debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney.
    No white paper or policy manifesto put out during the presidential campaign has proved more controversial than an August study by the Washington-based Tax Policy Center, a respected nonprofit that issues studiously detailed tax analyses.
    That study found, in short, that Mr. Romney could not keep all of the promises he had made on individual tax reform: including cutting marginal tax rates by 20 percent, keeping protections for investment income, not widening the deficit and not increasing the tax burden on the poor or middle class. It concluded that Mr. Romney’s plan, on its face, would cut taxes for rich families and raise them for everyone else.'

    And a 4 year term has demonstrated the same about Obama.

    Obama has been in office four years. He said he had three years or it would be a one-term proposition. He said he would cut the deficit. He has destroyed our economy, is an empty suit, clearly in way over his head, doesn't even consider the United States his home country and it is time for him to go.

    Romney is at least a successful businessman, governor and philanthropist. He has a record of successes rather than failures. I will take him 1,000 times over the flim flam man and Chicago thug Barack Hussein Obama all day long and twice on Sunday.

    Translation: I have no rational argument to offer.
