Who you callin' UNUSUAL??

I just got finished watching Mitt Romney's performance on "Meet the Press."
Snip..
--On guns, he may have gotten himself in trouble, in an attempt to diffuse the flip-flop label, by standing by his support for the Brady Bill and the 1994 assault weapons ban. He even said he would have signed an extension of the assault weapons ban when it expired in 2004. He also employed the odd phrase "weapons of unusual lethality" to describe the type of guns he would ban.
--On immigration, Romney was utterly Clintonian. He said that when in November 2005 he described the Bush/McCain approach to immigration as "reasonable" and "quite different" from amnesty, he wasn't endorsing the proposal, but just describing it. He hadn't formulated his own position on immigration at the time. That's right up there with Hillary Clinton saying in the debate that she didn't say she supported driver's licenses for illegal immigrants, but she just said that a proposal to do so "makes sense." Even if we were to get into the Christmas spirit and be extraordinarily generous by granting Romney that an elected official saying pending legislation is "reasonable" doesn't constitute support for the legislation, it still doesn't get him off the hook. His description of the proposal was that it was "quite different" from amnesty, and yet during this year he has ceaselessly leveled attacks on McCain by accusing him of supporting "amnesty."
Snip..
--On health care, I thought it was noteworthy that Romney hopes other states will follow the Massachusetts model so that insurance will be mandated nationwide (even if it isn't by the federal government). So philosophically, he still holds out hope that every American will be forced to purchase health insurance, but he just thinks that personal liberty should be violated on a state-by-state basis.

Class act you have going there.
So’s Huckabee. Who’s left with executive experience?
Only if they get unusually baptised!
Now now, don’t reveal the general election stratgey (vote for Mitt because the alternative is the Rodham-rodent) while we’re still in the primary strategy (obfuscate Mitt’s liberal history by focusing people on ‘Mormonism victimology’ and screaming bigotry at the drop of a hint of opposition to Mormonism’s specious claims to be THE restored Christianity).
Yeah - sure. I'm going to complain about NOT getting a candidate who is out to band guns, coddle homosexuals, and such.
But hey - that is just me...
I haven’t grown tired of it. Bravo and keep it up ... if for no other reason than to see the Romney whiners tizzy up.
In fact, I like it so much I’m going to edit it and start using myself as a BTTT!
Who you callin' UNUSUAL??
I don't agree, and I am for Thompson. He did ok. Did you expect him to call for the death penalty for doctors performing abortions, and mass deportations of illegals? He'd make a good VP choice.
“On abortion, Romney said before he faced a decision on embryo destruction as governor, the issue was purely “theoretical.” But that’s clearly contradicted by the fact that in 1994 and 2002 Romney’s explanation for why he was pro-choice was that a family friend died of an illegal abortion. The death of a family friend is “theoretical”? Also, I thought it was odd that he said he believes from a “political perspective” that life believes at conception. I can understand believing that life begins at conception from a moral, religious, or scientific standpoint. But for him to say “political perspective” is almost an unintended acknowledgement on his part that his views on abortion are driven by political calculations.”
Like her Mormon husband, Ann Romney was adamantly pro abortion, even giving money to help them.
When did Ann have her “epiphany” that turned her pro life for this election, and what was it?
Perhaps life is good in the ‘campaign’ of the Mittster, but it definitely is not for all those alive unborn children Mitt assisted in allowing the slaughter of with taxpayer funding in Massachusetts. What a guy, what a pro-life (Mitt’s life) guy. Those alive unborn must have been ‘leftovers’ or ‘extras’ like he stamped the alive embryos in IVF clinics not implanted in human uteruses. We just haven’t learned how to have Mormon-think, er, Mitt-think, have we Reaganesque.
Thank you, for your rational post. It blows my mind that 5-6 of these posters,you see them on every Mitt thread,obviously have a gut wrenching hate for Mitt. I don’t hate even Hillary that much and I sure am glad.
As Conan "T" Barbarian once said when asked what is best in life: "To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women." Based on the level of lamentation going on in this thread, life is very good for the Romney campaign right now.
Mormonism, Romney, and Race (NRO-Bryon York)
The fact of the matter is that just about every prominent politician in Washington is a member of the CFR. You can draw your own conclusions about why, but I don't think you can get elected president without being a member.
That being said, Thomspon has got to be about the most conservative CFR member running.
ROTFL! You havin’ a good time?
Here...I changed it just a little for you and all the Romney mittwhits!
FRED THOMPSON - PRO-LIFE ADVOCATE (true consistent Conservative Federalist and Pro-Life) - NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERT (I’ll protect the American people and values, whatever it takes to stop the Islamfacists, including water-boarding) - 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATE (arming the People and disarming criminals) - SECURE AND SEAL THE BORDERS (don’t give them sanctuary anywhere, don’t hire them, don’t rent to them, don’t give them credit, don’t give them rights they don’t deserve, report all crimes committed by them, it’s called attrition for you Romney mittwhits, and deport those who have already committed crimes against America) - LAW AND ORDER (enforcement first and foremost with the laws currently on the books) - SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM (reform a program that can’t sustain itself and will bankrupt the next generation) - DEFEAT ANY DEMOCRAT AND RINO (any fool they put up) – TAX SIMPLIFICATION (variety of choice for the tax payer) - WON’T PUT UP WITH CRAP FROM THE MSM (including stupid questions by moderators and pundits) - “WE THE PEOPLE” CANDIDATE (We the People asked him to run and he stepped up) - PING!
Not a hate for the man, but for his liberalism, and now his lies.
Yes there is.
Only Huckabee and Rudy are worse than Mitt.
