Brilliant as always, nana.
Want a few more examples of bad judgment by Romney for you to IGNORE?
"Governor Mitt Romney, who touts his conservative credentials to out-of-state Republicans,
has passed over GOP lawyers for three-quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he has faced,
instead tapping registered Democrats or independents -- including two gay lawyers who
have supported expanded same-sex rights, a Globe review of the nominations has found.
Of the 36 people Romney named to be judges or clerk magistrates, 23 are either registered Democrats
or unenrolled voters who have made multiple contributions to Democratic politicians
or who voted in Democratic primaries, state and local records show.
In all, he has nominated nine registered Republicans, 13 unenrolled voters,
and 14 registered Democrats."

Romney Rewards one of the State's Leading Anti-Marriage Attorneys by Making him a Judge
Romney told the U.S. Senate on June 22, 2004, that the "real threat to the States is not the
constitutional amendment process, in which the states participate,
but activist judges who disregard the law and redefine marriage . . ."
Romney sounds tough but yet he had no qualms advancing the legal career of one
of the leading anti-marriage attorneys. He nominated Stephen Abany to a District Court.
Abany has been a key player in the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association which,
in its own words, is "dedicated to ensuring that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision
on marriage equality is upheld, and that any anti-gay amendment or legislation is defeated."

and then this.....
"Romney announces he won't fill judicial vacancies before term ends
Despite his rhetoric about judicial activism, Romney announced that
he won't fill all the remaining vacancies during his term - but instead
leave them for his liberal Democrat successor!
Governor Mitt Romney pledged yesterday not to make a flurry of lame-duck
judicial appointments in the final days of his administration . . . David Yas,
editor of Lawyers Weekly, said Romney is "bucking tradition" by resisting the urge to
fill all remaining judgeships. "It is a tradition for governors to use that power to appoint judges
aggressively in the waning moments of their administration," Yas said.
He added that Romney has been criticized for failing to make judicial appointments.
"The legal community has consistently criticized him for not filling open seats quickly enough
and being a little too painstaking in the process and being dismissive of the input of the
Judicial Nominating Commission," Yas said.

Diogenese — BS
Sorry, little broncobilly, but URLs and citations were
given. And the quotes were from Mitt Romney.
But you are right, Mitt Romney is full of ....
God I hope all the phony conservatives leave the party.
Based on those numbers, it’s actually Romney who’s best positioned to unite the party.
then I guess they’ll have to unite without me because I won’t support such a ticket.
I don’t want someone to make me excited. I want someone who has what it takes to lead the country. And I think Jindal or Sanford are much more capable than Sarah.
You know I find it funny that everything Sarah does has excuses attached. She needs to take responsibility for something in her life. Everything is somebody else’s fault. That is not Presidential...the buck stops here? Not with Sarah it is the Democrats, the elite media, her handlers, those nasty people who forced her those clothes, those romney and mccain camps, mean Katie, mean tom, etc. She is one big excuse.
And you need to put this into greater context. Had Hillary run & won, then Hill vs. Will(ard)...well that would have been MSM bad enough...but O-the-Prez-on-THE-HILL vs. Will(ard)...I mean, the MSM would never quit...it'd be like 1977 all the time, when Will(ard) was 30 & a member of a racist church.
and sitting out vietnam in france on missionary deferrments.
Oh please. He is religious and it is a sin not to do it. The disgrace is Cheney who got deferements just for a bunch of kids. Why not calling him out when you had the chance. I am sick and tired of the Vietnam war folks. It has been 30 years...we have moved on to the Iraq war. Your time in the sun is almost over.
Yes, URLs and citations to rumors. There is a difference.
By the way, when you are calling people stupid, double check the reflection in the mirror.
Why? I am one of the smart ones who would vote for Romney...perhaps you are guilty and passing blame like your girlfriend Sarah.
Rhodes scholar vs someone with a degree in journalism. Come on. Why is there even a debate? Conservatives should be for picks based on merit, not affirmative action or what looks good on American idol.
Romney is a draft dodging
Tennessee Nana. Seriously this is so uncalled for. You are basing this on his religious convictions. That is not fair. Big deal the Vietnam war has been 30 years ago and we should get over that disaster. We have pressing things to worry about like the economy.
On Bill O’Reilly’s program last week he had a poll on whether or not Palin should run for president in 2012. Over 83,000 people voted, 87 percent said yes, and only 13 percent said no. He was very surprised by the results. The poll is still running if anyone cares to vote:
