You joined Aug. 2 to promote liberal Romney. Have a good time, maybe you will get by with it.

“We saw different speeches then, he was soooooooooooo boring.”

Yes. Rule 1: keep your audience. A good fraction of the audience probably tuned out, or just flipped the switch. Sure, it wasn’t a completely horrible speech, but it certainly wasn’t a home run of a speech like Ryan’s.

I have been around long enough to never trust what a politician says I look at their record. Romney has a record of appointing liberal justices. I would be deluding myself to think he would do anything else in the future..

obama is an not a competent businessman.

The business of America is business and Romney is a very competent businessman.

S. Ct justices will be the least of your problems if obama is reelected

“oh he’s so boring, I’d rather have life with an exciting narcissist” is your mantra eh? You and a lot of others who thrive on emotional highs

Same.

I had thought Romney was an empty suit during the debates, but I now believe he was strategizing himself to win the primaries.

I loved Cain, Gingrich, the rest a lot more than Romney. But, Romney (naturally) was out there to win, and he took the strategy of standing back, knew that his opponents would focus on tearing each other down and shove each other to get into the spotlight. Sadly for my favorite Cain, it did work.

It’ll work in the general election, too. Leftists are already getting pissed off at the message of American exceptionalism & mouthing off against America — something that won’t resonante well with at least 60% of voters.

You are boring.
We have one path, get the house, senate, presidency and scotus.

Romney MAY not provide that, but Obama WON’T provide that.

"I'd rather live with four more years of Obama than have my kids live with 40 years of a liberal SC because of the liberal justices Romney will choose.."

You'll have that anyway if Obama wins again.

Do you really think Scalia and Kennedy will retire is Obama is reelected?

The threat Romney poses is he will get to replace these two conservative justices.

I wont vote for a liberal, voting conservative down ticket in the next two election cycles might give a Congress that can start turning things around.

You’d better vote down ticket in the Senate.

"Neither, Romney was boring."

Did you vote for Dole? Dole was boring and wishy-washy too, but we voted for him, just like we voted for McCain because of Palin. I'm not looking forward to voting for Romney, but the thought of 4 more years of our military under Obama's control, 4 more years of Holder's Injustice Department, 4 more years of Obama aiding the Islamists in the destruction of Israel, and 4 more years of that ugly Wookie would make me hold my nose and vote for a turd if it meant getting rid of the grifters presently living in the White House. You can't honestly love your country and say you'd rather have 4 more years of Obama's corruption, executive orders and lies.

BTW Ryan would be the tie breaker in the Senate.

IMHO Romney is going to piss off all of us, R’s and D’s

He is a pragmatic fellow that follows the constituency.

Obie on the other hand is a flat out marxist SOB that has no issue with telling the majority to go to hell while he goes golfing.

I understand your position Joe.

I just disagree.
I think we need to win the war by inches if we HAVE too.

I could care less if Romney pisses me off, what I care about is what a liberal supreme court can do to this country in the next 40 years. The gains in the 2nd amendment, life, affirmative action can and will all be reversed if we have a shift in the SC from slightly conservative to very liberal as the result of Romney's picks..

"S. Ct justices will be the least of your problems if obama is reelected"

Ain't that the truth. Besides there's no guarantee as to how a so-called Conservative Supreme Court Justice will vote on a case. We've been disappointed before, and it will happen again. I think the days of having a guaranteed Conservative Justice appointed to the bench have gone by the wayside. We all know the only certain things in life are death and taxes.
