...After Supporter Says President ‘Should be tried for treason’
The Obama campaign slammed Mitt Romney Monday for not confronting a supporter who said during a town hall event in Cleveland that the president “should be tried for treason.”
“We have a president right now that is operating outside the structure of our Constitution,” a woman said during a question-and-answer session. “And I want to know — yeah, I do agree he should be tried for treason — but I want to know what you would be able to do to restore balance between the three branches of government and what you are going to be able to do to restore our Constitution in this country.”
Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, ignored the treason comment and answered her question.
“Well, as I’m sure you do, I happen to believe the Constitution was not just brilliant but probably inspired,” he said. “I happen to believe the same thing about the Declaration of Independence. I would respect the different branches of government if I am fortunate enough to become president.”

“Time after time in this campaign, Mitt Romney has had the opportunity to show that he has the fortitude to stand up to hateful and over-the-line rhetoric and time after time, he has failed to do so,” campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith said in a statement. “If this is the ‘leadership’ he has shown on the campaign trail, what can the American people expect of him as commander-in-chief?”
Romney repeated his position shortly after the event during an interview on CNN but rejected the notion that he had a responsibility to take on the audience member.
“I don’t correct all of the questions that get asked of me.” Romney said.

Bingo! If Mitt plays McCain softball, he will be crushed. He needs to be Patton to win. America is hungry for a fighter. We want our country back! I'm not a big Mitt fan, but you have to admit, he will bring American adults to his administration, people that hopefully love American and want us to return to, . well, . America.
I can't help but think there are hundreds of thousands of qualified people out there that really see and understand we are truly at a crossroads and would volunteer tomorrow,so to speak, if they could help to bring the country back.
How about an all FReeper administration? Cabinet members, appointees, ancillary folks, Judge appointees, White House staff, speech writers, etc? Now wouldn't we shake things up! My dream job is head of the EPA. I would get the whole staff in a football field and yell, "You're fired!"
Under your leadership the national debt has increased by more than $5 TRILLION DOLLARS.
Under your leadership the GDP/Debt ratio has increased from 70% to well over 100%.
Under your leadership the United States for the first time in my memory has been down graded.
Under your leadership, the United States has NOT had a budget for over three years.
This goes beyond poor management. Your leadership is TRAITORUS.
Obama is secretly releasing terrorists in return for their promise not to be bad boys. I’d say that’s quite treasonous.
.....And a BIG DEAL was made over this?
Romney protects Obama EVERY CHANCE HE GETS.
Romney cannot win.
Romney is a SURE LOSS.
Well, as I’m sure you do, I happen to believe the Constitution was not just brilliant but probably inspired.
His Mormon roots are showing.
They could ‘demand’ around here all day long. 8)
My ignorance of LDS/Mormons is showing; I need to do some reading about it all.
Hussein grew used to the knee-jerk defenses of Hussein by McCain, expects the same from Mittens.
But blackFACE is still ok as long as you’re a Democrat with an important message.
Add "Not eligible" to the list.
Apparently the supporter substituted “should” for “must”.
Of course he doesn't nor does he agree with such questions. He's a spineless p****. Not to worry though... He'll be going the way of his Dodo Dole/McSkidmark predecessors but that said... Doesn't one need to be a citizen of whatever country it is they're betraying in order to be considered a "traitor" and therefore charged with "treason?" Obomba is an enemy combatant. A foreign occupier if you will. Either way if we had pro-American Joint Chiefs and/or a pro-American House and Senate they would be honoring their oath to defend and protect our constitution from all enemies both foreign and domestic and arresting obomba. Since neither is happening it is safe to say America is finished.
If you have not received Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior I suggest you get it done before it's too late or else bend over and kiss your rear good-bye. The Antichrist obomba is in the building and he's destroying it.
PERIOD!
Such a "Repub" would need to get by the RINOS that run the party and that's not going to happen. I've said all along that a national party called the National "Conservative" party needs to be formed and to hell with the RNC and the Republican Party. There are Conservatives in every party and we outnumber the moonbats in the demoncrap party. Problem is if a "Conservative" isn't a "Republican" he cannot vote in most Republican primaries there-by leaving us with spineless jackasses like romney out there trying to defeat the devil. Ain't going to happen. We need someone with the male prowess necessary to kick ass and take names. Newt would have eaten obomba for lunch. Hell... Sarah Palin would eat obomba for lunch but we have a bunch of whiny a** "moderates" living off the government teat in the Republican party who are unwilling to do the right thing and vote for a candidate that will do what's best for out nation.
It's over folks. Romney can't win and even if he does he is no better than obomba. He's pro-death, pro-obomneycare, pro-big government, anti-Christ, ...
Repent and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior before it's too late. The world as you know it is over and it's going to get much, much worse.
JMHO
LOL! THAT is GOOD!
Mormons believe that the Declaration of Independence is a document inspired by God, thereby putting on the same level at the Holy Scriptures.
