Coulter stopped being a bomb throwing once she got on the establishmedia. She has become a big disappointment. She could have easily said, the only people who want to see Mitt’s tax returns are those who wouldn’t vote for him anyway.

Did you expect Dubya to pick Cheney (Mr. Gravitas)?

[ex-Texan]

Add this to the mix -- Naval, Army and Marine bases on both coasts were being evacuated on August 2nd. Ships were ordered put to sea on both coasts. "This is not a drill," say several sources. Families closely related to Homeland Security or Continuity Of Government on both coasts have been ordered to evacuate. Because of dangerous tsunamis the elect few living on the coast were warned to get to higher ground on or before 8/16/2012

Why ___ ? Giant Asteroid 2012 DA 14 (as large as football field traveling with companion asteroid fragments) may hit the earth. The famous Canary Isle volcano may be affected.

FR does not want me to link to the source. However this may be a matter of life or death for thousands of people on the East Coast.

lol, no.....and he was an excellent choice. Sununu seems comfortable in the role of attacking Romney’s opponents....not a bad thing for a VP....but not the only quality. It’s just my opinion...what do I know?

I could see Romney picking Rubio or Ryan. I think Romney would be more personally comfortable with Ryan. I can also see him picking McDonnell. I don’t see him picking Pawlenty.

What about you (besides Sununu)?

[mathluv]

Does anybody else remember Golda Meir saying that the Pallies would be a problem until they loved they children more than they hate the Israelites?

[Alas Babylon!]

Relax. I’m retired military and still work closely with those on my local base. No bases are being evacuated. If so, we’d be scrambling to make ready for them. Maxwell AFB has a mostly unused flightline and is designated to take many aircraft from a host of different places if something was to happen.

If that order ever went up (for example, it did before Katrina hit New Orleans) the base becomes busier than a one-legged man in an a$$ kicking contest.

This isn’t happening. Sorry. Just my reverse OPSEC at work.

ALL Republicans should follow your advice: refuse to feed the beast.

Any question of Romney’s taxes are nothing more than a distraction to get the narrative off of 0zero. IF 0zero discloses the myriad of disclosure issues 0zero has, then maybe (MAYBE, Romney “might” release his. Nothing should be done until and unless 0zero finally produces his history. Period.

[masadaman]

This has been suggested piecemeal by others but it would put the fat to the fire: Romney should announce that he will release all hard copy original documents chronologically beginning with his birth certificate, followed by his application for a social security card in high school, then his selective service card application, then his college transcripts and applications, then his passport records, then his medical records, then his tax returns. He should request that all Presidential candidates do the same. Releases should be weekly, category by category.

[Morgan in Denver]

My only criticism is not weekly. That would take too long.

Romney should demand this information, not over time. It’s also a perfect opportunity to hold the media/press accountable since they failed to vet 0bama in the first place.

[rodguy911]

Definitely a change within her don’t quite know what it is or what to think.

[rodguy911]

Or maybe this one that won’t hit the earth three days after my birthday next year.....

[ROCKLOBSTER]

It’s also a perfect opportunity to hold the media/press accountable since they failed to vet 0bama in the first place.

You know, it might not be a bad idea for him to have that phrase ready to fire, the second the press whacks out in reaction to his demands for obamafacts.

Then he should continue to accuse them of it in every subsequent campaign speech and commercial.

[Morgan in Denver]

Agreed. Don’t mind me. I’ve been harping on this for some time now. I don’t care whether it’s a Democrat or anyone in the media/press, they have all covered up the 0bama record and history. If anyone asks they are immediately branded as a racist.

I’ve stopped more than one discussion with a Democrat bitching about Romney by throwing this in their face. They don’t have standing to question me or Romney until they resolve the issues surrounding 0bama.

[chooseascreennamepat]

Can anyone really, really believe that a person of the stature of, and as much in the prominence as Romney could have escaped the scrutiny of the IRS and not been audited?

F’in idiots.

[Perdogg]

Ted Cruz for future Chief Justice of SCOTUS.

[Girlene]

After reading some of his bio....that is an excellent suggestion.

[merryberry]

Its late, understand these s/s cuts will cause people to collect less s/s when they retire because they contributed less. people dont realize their monthly s/s income will be less when they retire. Also, “word is out”, Actually I heard Ann Coulter is girlfriend of, dating, seeing...Bill Maher. Would explain her lack of ‘enthusiasm” Just saying.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

AND (Ross Perot voice)......

There’s yer dam 200 Larry
