I don’t think that either is a communist, but I believe both are far more socialistic and liberal than most Americans.

Here’s a question for you, Halfie:

Would you prefer 25-years-to-life or the death sentence?

I believe people have the ability to change. If not so, then why do so many people believe Paul of the New Testament was an apostle? One minute he was Saul the next minute Paul.

If Mitt says he has changed his view point over the last 10 years, well shouldn't give him the benefit of the doubt?

One of the biggest tenant of Christianity is that people repent and get better and everyone, including God, forgives them their mistake.

Is ‘progressive’ a code word for communist? You betcha!!!

Whether ZERO is re-elected, or Romney is elected, it’s a win for progressives.

By a majority vote, Republicans have chosen a progressive as their nominee. So, does this suggest the majority of Republicans are progressives?

People who think there’s no difference between 0bama and Romney really ought to have their heads examined. Yeah, I wish we could clone Ronald Reagan every 8 years, and I wish we had a more conservative nominee.

However, the current primary system has given us Romney. You don’t have to like it, but let’s take a look at what’s at stake. This country is not going to survive four more years of 0bama. Dictatorial tricks like this back-door amnesty crap he pulled yesterday will only lead to more executive decisions and recess appointments.

We have to get the vote out, not just for Romney, but for conservatives running for the Senate and the House. Electing conservatives to Congress is essential to either keep Romney on the right side of the issues, or, God forbid in case of a 2nd 0bama term, limit the damage as much as possible. For that, we need the Senate and maintain majority in the House.

Up next is the Primary process itself. We can all whine and moan about how the media elected our nominee and blah blah blah. I’m yet to hear about people taking action and re-taking control of the GOP. If it’s one thing I’ve learned from 0bama is that if you want to change things, you can’t just hope for it. You have to take action.

Is Mitt Romney a marxist communist socialist?

No, he's a lying NWO socialist with a tinge of psychopathy. That is, he's another Soros puppet.

“Is Mitt Romney a marxist communist socialist?”

No.

Anyone who believes this is a fool (and I don’t care for Romney at all, I voted for Newt even after he had dropped out). I’m not all that bright, but I’m smart enough to understand reality.

Where’s that “Aw, Geez!” guy when you need him?

ABsolutely. Romney is not only an America hating communist but he is a devil from hell. Obama may eat dogs, but Romney eats little babies.

And Obama was sent from God to rule America and give her the King she deserves.

He is a corporatist oligarch, just like all of them.

They aren't married to any particular ideology, just power.

Mitt Romney is a liberal pretending to be a conservative and is our worst candidate in decades. That said his opponent is one of the most dangerous men in American history and a liberal like Romney is much better than a dangerous radical like Obama.

No, Romney is a lot of things but he is not a communist.

Romney is in favor of big government not total government.

Hey Grig, thanks truthkeeper.

Romney is a Globalist (see tag). Socialism, by it’s nature, is just a way-station on the road to Communism. So, YES... Romney is all of the above.

Take a refresher course to find out what Communism or Marxism is and what it isn't.

Or read Solzhenitsyn or any of the first-hand testimonies from Russia, Eastern Europe, China, or Cuba. Or maybe Robert Conquest or Orlando Figes or Richard Pipes.

Then maybe you could post something intelligent instead of wasting everybody's time with this moronic [string of expletives deleted].

"Progressive" is an ideologically meaningless term, which can be conveniently twisted to suit any purpose. A line I used to have fun with, when I was tilting with someone or other, who would so describe themselves in a Television encounter, was, "a rat riding a piece of cardboard down the gutter to the storm sewer makes 'progress' so long as the rain comes down. If it stops, he will have to get off and determine his own direction, on his own power."

Suggesting that Romney, who has not only been highly successful in business, but apparently by understanding how Capitalism works best, has "Communist leanings," is rather far fetched. Certainly there have been many wealthy Socialists--often the neurotic, guilt fed heirs to what men like Mitt Romney have earned;--but there is no inkling that Mitt Romney is such. His move to the right rhetorically over the last few years would make little sense, then. His behavior certainly does not suggest that he is some sort of "Manchurian Candidate."

Why do some folk insist, day after day, in attacking Romney, when Obama continuously ramps up the class-warfare? Class-warfare is what Communism starts as; only a small number of leaders actually even pretend to understand the looney verbal constructs of Karl Marx. It is the appeal to envy & resentment, the Blame & Envy Cocktail that fires up the mob.

I have suggested that Romney can be moved further to the Right by a polite, patient, persistent effort to play to his better nature; Romney & American Conservatism. But whether the effort proposed convinces Romney or not, it makes sense for the public in general--it will not hurt if we focus on the things suggested.

Frankly, the demagogue in office leaves us no choice but to rally all we can to vote for his removal. As for Romney in Massachusetts? Did he lead the people there to the ideas that we Conservatives do not like, or were they already there--in effect leading him to those positions? Think about who led whom!

I really don;t like Romney's past. I strongly believe he is not a conservative. I believe he is pro abortion, pro gay marriage and anti gun.

I prayed to God that we get the right man in the White House and the right Congress in 2012 to stop our country's downhill slide.

I was first for Herman Cain, then for Gingrich and then settled for Santorum. We got none of them. We got the guy I feared the most, Romney.

Now I just got to trust God answered my prayers and that in some way I don't understand right now Mitt Romney is the right guy.

I look at it this way. Romney can't do anything regarding Abortion or Gay Marriage. But he can do something about the economy which is the foremost important issue. I also know Romney understands business unlike President Kardashian. He's run business's and knows how much government can hurt business. If he can get the economy growing again and get us back in the black on the budget, then he could be worth it in the end.

I don't trust the guy (or any politician) but I trust and will continue to pray he is the right man, that God will lead him on a clear course that is right for America and is right by God.

We can complain about Romney and all his faults, but he is the only one that can take 0bama out at this point. We just got to put it in God's hands and pray the right thing will happen.

If 0bama is re-elected it only means a majority of Americans have rejected God and will suffer the consequences for doing so. Unfortunately the good will have to suffer to because of the bad.
