I want to hear what they think about a nuclear armed Iran. I want to hear what they think about the fact that over 50% of Americans get a check from the government. I want to hear what they will do to rein in and dismantle the EPA, who is essentilially dismantling whole industries without elected representative input.

We can handle Chik Fil A on our own. We don't need the leader of the free world; the one who will meet face to face with Putin; getting involved.

I would have loved to have seen Romney pull his limo and secret service entourage up to the Chick-Fil-A this past week and order up a fried chicken sandwich while cameras clicked away. Would have been a great photo-op - if not for the fact that Romney is so exposed on this issue.

Sarah Palin would have pulled this photo-op off effortlessly with much credibility. However, she's not the presumptive nominee. She didn't even run. So we are stuck with Romney and on this particular issue, Romney is wise to steer clear because as soon as he steps into it, the Obama campaign and the yakking heads in the media will have a field day.

We nominated Romney and we are stuck with him, warts and all. Maybe we do better next time.

Just my Opine,but why get involved when Obama has not.

It's called "leadership," and "doing the right thing."

Foreign concepts in the new Romney Republican Party, I know. But there it is.

I think Romney is very exposed on the homosexual marriage issue because he apparently supported it in the past.

Romney, speaking with Chris Matthews on Hardball:

"In our case, we have to pass a constitutional amendment. And my legislature is in, some respects, liberal. It has a conservative wing as well. But the liberal wing is fighting very hard for same-sex marriage or its legal equivalent, civil union. And so, as this has gone before the legislature in the past, they've said that the people ought to decide. I agree with them. Let's let the people decide.

So, we will have a constitutional convention this year. Hopefully, the decision of our legislature will be to let the people decide. And, specifically, I hope that people will be able to decide that neither civil union, nor same-sex marriage is legal in Massachusetts".

What is this we business. I had ZERO to do with this tragedy. I was going to vote for him just because, but he has seriously pissed me off with his love gay marriage. He does not deserve our vote. What has he done to piss of the liberals? Nothing. He is a repulsive individual who won’t even fight for his own marriage.

Romney - chosen because He LOST TO McCAIN - check
Romney - invented Obamacare - check
Romney - imposed Gay Marriage - check
Romney - tax imposer (”fees” so its ok) - check
Romney - brutual anticonservative - check
Romney - supports Global Warming, Sharia, TARP - check
Romney - makes ineligibility moot - check


Your list is so true.

But, I’ll still vote for him rather than have to look at Obama for four more years. We need to get together now and get someone else to run as a TeaParty candidate in four more years. We will have to stay active during Romney’s term.

Gov. Palin was pushed out by cowardly, liberal, BACKSTABBER Romney who
also "stabbed" every other conservative.

And Mr. RomneyCARE cheated, too.

NOT GONNA VOTE FOR A CHEATER WHO IMPOSED
ROMNEYCARE AND the rest.

It’s the opposite of a distraction. In fact, it’s the crux of the entire cross-roads this nation has reached.

You do NOT have to be Christian, nor bigoted, nor zealous to understand the far-reaching implications and ramifications which marriage equality would bring in its wake. Once legal at the federal level, we would be at the point of no return. This is a trojan horse for something FAR vaster than a few gays who love their partners.

Why would we need any politician to lead us in a mission in support of our faith?

That's the purview of church leaders, not politicians.

GOP , in picking Romney as the candidate for 2012, could hardly have done worse.

Boy, isn't that the truth. How can anyone bring themselves to vote for a worm?

Romney is so exposed on this issue

And on socialized medicine.

And abortion.

And the homosexualization of the military.

And gun bans.

And global warming.

And lots of other stuff.

Quite a problem for y'all, when there is little real distinction between your guy and the pro-choice democrat socialist incumbent.

Yeah, sticking up for free speech and decency is such a "trap."

What country is this? I don't recognize it.

some poeple still don;t get it , heck even some on ehre don’t get it when it comes to the queer agenda.
It’s the usual ignorant comments of “yea we shoudl not talk about it” or “it;s a distraction” or” I know a couple of them and they’re nice”

Always the usual same dumb ignorant comments about conservative social issues.
Marriage is the founddation as well as families, when that goes and it has in many places we get kids who go to crime, boys turning out like girls, and the evidence is up in the north east.
Half the men up there seem like girls .

No Romney this is first amendment , this is religious bigotry they are showing, this is marriage and a group of people who want us to know how tey’re sex is regardless of how unhealthy, unnatrual, perverted or sick it is.

Hogwash. These are matters of crucial fundamental public policy, domestically, and in terms of our national security.

I think the dude’s a spendthrift. That looks like one of the shirts I couldn’t buy at JC Penney because it’s made for guys who are in shape. I guess he doesn’t want to shop at Walmart and have the buttons fall off after the first washing.

Mr. RomneyCARE is so far to the left on this matter,
that HE PERSONALLY imposed gay marriage even though
the clerks, Judges, and Commonwealth were aghast.

Same thing for RomneyCARE and Romney(DNC)Judges.

Mr. RomneyCARE IS the decider and HE
is to the FAR, far left of the late Ted Kennedy.

sickening isn’t it that either Newt or Rick could have been our man but no the establishment went after them because they would hate it seeing a proper conservative ,a man who stands up on socila issues.

Some care about their pocket and to hel, with the rest, well I for one care about the future of my kids and social issues are the base for them.

They chased Sarah out, for a loser, they attacked Newt for another RINO loser elitist and even now there are rumours that Romney might get another idiot for VP.

I’m sick of the GOP and their cowardly ways, BTW that goes for most on talk radio, pundits like Hannity.

All of them don’t want to upset their homo elitist money loaded pals, heaven forbid if our elitist establishment and some in talk radio don’t get invited to the elitist cocktail party.

Demit, Sarah, Col Allen West, michelle Bachmann etc all need to start a new party and dump these elitist snobs or the cowards or those who only care about their own pockets.
