and when governor romnei final had a chanc to reveal the secret sauc __PUNCT__ he did not offer a singl new idea __PUNCT__

it wa just retread of the same old polici we been hear for decad __PUNCT__ the same polici that have been stick it to the middl_class for year __PUNCT__

thei talk a lot about me __PUNCT__ and thei talk a lot about governor romnei __PUNCT__ but thei didn't spend a lot of time talk about you __PUNCT__

thei didn't talk about famili like ryan and what it might mean to go back to a time when folk with preexist condit couldn't get health_care __PUNCT__

you didn't hear them spend a lot of time talk about young_peopl and the debt that thei incur when thei go to colleg __PUNCT__

thei spent even less time talk about what plan thei had to actual meet these challeng and solv these problem __PUNCT__

thei did not creat_job __PUNCT__

thei did not cut the deficit __PUNCT__

thei did not strengthen the middl_class __PUNCT__

thei ar not a plan to move thi countri forward __PUNCT__

and we believ in someth better __PUNCT__

we believ in an america that sai our econom strength ha never come from the top down __PUNCT__

it come from the middl out __PUNCT__

it come from the bottom up __PUNCT__

it come from student and worker and small_busi busi_owner __PUNCT__ and a grow __PUNCT__ thrive middl_class __PUNCT__

it come from teacher and receptionist and firefight and construct_worker who ar help to build thi countri each and everi dai __PUNCT__

that the backbon of thi countri __PUNCT__

we believ in an america that doesn't let how much monei you got determin whether or not you got good_health health_care __PUNCT__ whether or not you can get a good colleg_educ __PUNCT__

we believ in an america that doesn't just lead by the forc of our amaz militari __PUNCT__ and we ar so grate for their servic __PUNCT__ but we also know that we got to combin that with the strength of our ideal and the power of our exampl __PUNCT__

we believ in an america where no matter what you look like __PUNCT__ no matter where you come from __PUNCT__ no matter who you love __PUNCT__ you can pursu your own version of happi __PUNCT__ and you can make it here if you try __PUNCT__

and that what we been work for __NUM___year now __PUNCT__ colorado __PUNCT__

we ar bring our troop_home from afghanistan __PUNCT__

we will have them all out of there by __NUM__ __PUNCT__

governor romnei doesn't have a timet __PUNCT__

i think he wrong __PUNCT__

that what at stake in thi elect __PUNCT__

and as long as i command in chief __PUNCT__ we will serv our veteran as well as thei serv us __PUNCT__ becaus nobodi who fight for us should have to fight for a job or a roof over their head when thei come home __PUNCT__
