Thank you Jim
the last couple of days the attacks against conservatives who expose the crookedeness about the liberal Williard Mitt Romney have been bizarre
Anyone not worshipping Mitt and willing to lie and cover up his record are being accused of being from the Left, or liberal, or Democrats etc..
Good to see you posting here! Long time no talk!
That's just plain silly. I can't stand Romney but the idea that somehow Romney fans are now bashing anyone who doesn't like him here is truly cracked. For fun I almost posted a thread "Does ANYONE here like Romney?"
I don't get the intense hatred for Romney. I am supporting Santorum (reluctantly), but there's something more going on here. I'm a pro-lifer, and the fact is nothing Romney did 'created $50 abortions" which have been part of MA care since the 70's.
There was a one-day story of Gov. Palin approving some appointment, and praising the guy, who was pro-abortion, and she was criticized by some but most said she had no choice in the matter, she had to approve on of the folks sent to her desk. That happened to be the truth, and though some (like me) said "She's supporting a pro-abortionist" the facts, when we cooled off, were there to be seen.
The facts are there about abortion and Romneycare, but I'm weary and most people here don't seem to care.
I'm sick of correcting the lies spread about Romney here because I think "Wait a minute, I can't stand the guy!" But the truth IS important. And the truth is, Romney is not a socialist anymore than Gingrich or Santorum (who are big government in FACT, not word) or any number of Republicans are.
That's because Republicans are big government types.
There is no true conservative candidate in the Republican field. So it seems the conservatives are picking their guy and making excuses for him.
Romney isn't a conservative, but a poll shows he's acceptable to conservatives. I don't think if he becomes president he will be as bad or worse than Obama. At this stage, that's all I care about.
I think there's more behind the rabid hate for Obama than some are saying, but for pete's sake, can we get over the victim pose? Claiming that conservatives on this site are attacked when Romney is criticized here doesn't pass the laugh test.
I'm sure I'll be banned now for daring not to support Romney but because my hate for him isn't intense enough, but I don't care. This place has really gone downhill, and this childish hate instead of reasoned discussion is just a huge turnoff. So if this is the end for me, so long, and ...too bad.
