Bump to use!
Thanks much.
It is arresting to imagine a Romney White House, inevitably filled with as many former Bain colleagues as each of his other public ventures have been: The PowerPoints, the 80-20 jargon, the clinical separation of decision-making from ideology, the detachment of those decisions from moral consequence, a persistent blind spot for people as people. It would represent the final ascension of a perfectly American type, one that has already remade the culture of business. I once asked a Bain colleague of Romney’s how Romney thought of his own core competence. “I think Mitt thinks he’s good at being Mitt Romney,” the colleague said.
You know what they say about that third exclamation point, right? Only... challenged people use it.
Thank you! Great list!
Fortunately those with eyes can see the ‘obvious’ choice is Newt over Romney....and in the General Newt will slay the dragon!
Go Newt Go!!!!!
I beg your pardon? Would you mind rewording that, or is your intent to insult my personal relationship with Christ?
What can we do from here to get him on top? Any ideas other than throwing money at him?
Okay, I am a bigtime Newt supporter but that description is fine with me, "by far the least worst". You want to support Newt cause he's the least worst - I am grateful. We'll take all the "least-worst" votes we can get. And thank you so much for yours!!! You are a realist and a patriot.
Here is something you can do, but the clock is ticking and NEWT NEEDS YOU NOW!!!!

Out of curiosity, are there excuses for all of that too? I’m just curious.
Lots and lots of foreplay though...
I know what kind of judges Romney nominated at governor of an extremely liberal state with an extremely liberal state legislature that he had to face. And I know what kind of judges Obama has nominated as President of the United States. You can shove that "Romney supporter" crap up your ass. I'm not going to join in on the pro-Obama cheerleading that is currently taking places on this forum.
Unlike it seems many here, I don't want four more years of the most destructive President this nation has ever suffered.
Great chart.
Says it all.
mormonism has mocked God Almighty/Christianity since its foundation, and Romney has been and most likely always be part of that corporation.
Romney is as left wing as BHO, that is how he governed, that is how he lives his life.
“Who is the candidates for these parties that we are to all support? Or does it matter?”
Of course it matters. And I don’t know who it is.
But, yes, I indeed to find out and vote for one of them or some other 3rd party that is actually conservative.
*EVEN IF* all of that constant “Romney checklist” that’s been going around were true, the last line states that 27 out of 36 judges nominated were liberals. I can guarantee you that Obama would nominate 36 out of the 36 that were as far left as can be. That’s enough for me.
Romney sucks. I have said before and I will say again that the only thing Mitt Romney ever said that I absolutely believed was that he hated the Yankees, which he said once in a debate in 2008. However, I don’t believe he hates this country and I don’t believe he’d load his administration with known Communists and Communist sympathizers.
Why would you think that Romney would appoint to his staff anyone different as president than he did as governor?
Romney and BHO are both left wing.
No prob BG :)
I agree. As someone who has sworn an oath and is currently wearing this nation's uniform, I will put my country over my principles.
You don't think that the GOPe openly supporting Romney and his Millions that were available for is campaign had anything to do with discouraging competetion. Right.
