I basically share Virginia Ridgerunners opinion of Graham, that’s why I keep up with him. Plus, even though he’s piedmont and I’m low country, he’s kind off one of us. He does tend to be a little reverent at times, but I don’t have a major problem with that.
One of his shows, that I remember, had a group of cheer leaders (charter school that had lost something like 100 straight games) and one of their cheers was “that all right, that’s OK, I’ll be your boss one day”.
Another had a doctor, from the local medical college, talking about hearing loss, shortly after Rush lost his hearing. I had always though that hearing loss was progressive, but it’s not (one of this doctors patients was working on his computer and suddenly realized he couldn’t hear), and they often don’t know what caused it.
reverent = irreverent
Peter Horry: PS When Romney wins, if he wins, a little self examination
may be in order. You may want to ask yourself if I had spent my time promoting
candidates, who possessed my ideology, could I have garnered more support and had
more of an effect... just a thought.
First, what makes you think I did not previously support Mitt Romney before version 3.0?
Second, your unwarranted attack on FReeper Michael Graham in your Post# 15
for his religion and opinions, as you serve Mitt Romney is beyond reprehensible.
That said, here is a message for you and your alter ego.
"Never send a monkey to do a man's job."

LOL, Bless your heart, you just can’t help yourself. Perhaps one of your addressees will stage an intervention, it’s clearly needed.
Have you some actual (unlikely) support of RomneyCARE?
[ sound of crickets again .....]
How about his pick of judges (see below)? [ sound of crickets again .....]
Why did he flee to La Jolla? Didn't his dad win re-election?
The local papers both say he wrecked the GOP. Thoughts?
"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."

"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.

The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday.
The cause of death: failed leadership.
The party is survived by a few leftover legislators
and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists
who have been ignored for years.
Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow.
In lieu of flowers, send messages to Republican voters
warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney.
- Boston Herald, 11/12/2006
"In 2006, while Romney was chairman of the National Republican
Governors Association - a group dedicated to electing more
Republican governors - his own hand-picked Republican successor
as governor lost badly to the Democrat, despite the fact that Republicans
have held the governorship in Massachusetts since 1990. Romney largely
ignored the Massachusetts elections and spent most of the time
during the campaign out of state building his presidential campaign.
He came back and publicly campaigned for the Republican candidate
the day before the general election!
Locally, this is a rebuke to Mitt Romney and checking out within six months
after being elected and having accomplished almost nothing,
[Jim] Rappaport [former chairman of the state Republican Party]."

They’re both donkeys and Romney’s a horse’s ass.
Its the difference between a racehorse and a donkey, is Romneys line.

Ah yes, Romney...
But which end of that donkey do you claim to be ???
Peter Horry: LOL Gonna leave you alone now,
maybe you'll calm down and eat you (sic) banana.
Since you would not favor us with a coherent DEFENSE of RomneyCARE
proving that there is NONE, consider this, FRiend (and have some sweet tea).
