Gov. Schweitzer on Myth Romney

President Obama is no radical leftist, that's for sure.

In fact, there were several lines in his speech last night that made me wince: like the line about America as the largest war machine in human history, for instance. 40% of the IRS take goes to militarism: that's unacceptable to this leftist especially when global warming is the greatest threat to our species.

Any debt clock must acknowledge that a cheaper dollar builds exports. As the Arms Dealer to the World, the US sells billions worth of advanced weapons to the Israeli mob and the Family of Saud who in turn, sell their old shit to Iran, Syria, and worse. So, what's the bad news?

Mitt's a good family man and a loyal American. But—and you knew there was a "but"—he brought the wrong agenda to Massachusetts. And he is the wrong guy to be president of the United States. Governor Mitt Romney saddled Massachusetts taxpayers with an additional $2.6 billion in debt, and left 'em with the most debt per capita of any state in America. Mitt, you can't Etch-A-Sketch away your record. Taxes: up. Cost of college: up. Debt: up. New business starts: down. Manufacturing: down. Median household income: down. Economic growth: down. If private equity Mitt Romney met Governor Mitt Romney, he'd do what he says he likes to do. He'd fire 'um, and outsource the job! Governor Romney said that finding Osama bin Laden was "not worth moving heaven and earth." Tonight, bin Laden isn't on earth, and he sure isn't in heaven. Thanks to the courage of American Special Forces and the bold leadership of our president, Osama bin Laden is at the bottom of the ocean.--Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer.
