Yes. Sadly, the Supreme Court has become a political body which is another good reason for biting the bullet and voting for Romney.

Can you imagine another couple of justices as clueless as the “boatload of money” gal?

[rodguy911]

Ann was brilliant!

She says we don't have "a more gov.t problem, we have a free enterprise problem", simply brilliant.

Sorry there is so much animosity/infighting here today. Not like the Rush thread at all. Too many here that refuse to see reality coming their way.

[Son House]

Also note this week the media wants to sell Republican endorsements of Romney as “mainstream Republicans”, ala the Washington Elite.

[altura]

That remind me of ANOTHER good idea Rick Perry had.

No lifetime appointments for judges, even Supreme Court.

It seemed like a good idea at the time and I would be for a long term, say ten years—even fifteen, but we don’t need any more sick old ladies dozing off on the bench because they can.

[rodguy911]

Same with me,hell I don’t even drink any more! I got a ping about the drug slang but quite frankly I was not surprised now the we are learning who this guy really is. Not quite the sweet young black teenager he was made out to be, it appears.

[rodguy911]

Have to agree. At this point I am trying to gin up some support for a Marco or Paul Ryan as VP. That could make all the difference in a close race.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Please consider writing —at least on occasion— for the WSJ! Your writing is right up there with stephen Moore, Henninger,Strassel..easily!

Do you want me to make a call to the big shots at the WSJ???I don’t know them, but I ‘ll call. ha.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I agree, Miss Marple. Sad to say but we just didn’t present a good field to begin with...When I saw Santorum this morning...more tolerant of Romney. ...he will be a thousand times better than Obama.

How Romney performs will have everything to do with the total TEApublican makeup of Congress and the Senate after the election.

If instead he's handed a bunch of liberals to deal with...well we've already watched that movie.

[rodguy911]

Yes, along with term limits and a balanced budget amendment we could turn things around big time.

[Diogenesis]

Grow a pair.

First, it is NOT over.

Second, ROMNEY is a documented LOSER:

"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

[Son House]

And remember Bill Ayers/Bernadine Dorn/Weather Underground, it’s all part of how they will community organize off campus.

[Miss Marple]

You know, if Rick Perry hadn’t been talked into getting into the race by certain people in that “influential” conservative group, he could have entered later and maybe given Romney a run for his money. He would have been prepared and not been embarrassed in the debates, which, by the way, MANY conservatives here and elsewhere trashed him for mercilessly, not stopping to think that perhaps “Deeds, not words” is a better way to judge candidates.

I am hoping Romney shows the same degree of ruthlessness going after Obama that he has shown in the primaries. People keep acting like he’s squishy and not very bright, but I don’t see someone who made his money as a venture capitalist being a milque-toast type of guy.

We will see. He’s going to be the candidate. And for anyone holding out for a brokered convention (where we show ourselves as idiots to the entire nation, with lots of delicious infighting egged on by the media) let me give you a couple of points.

1. It will be terrible for our chances of winning.
2. If you think that those delegates, most of whom will be Romney delegates, are going to suddenly give the nomination to Santorum or Palin or Newt, you are living in a dream world. Before they do that they will draft Jeb Bush. That is reality, not some fantasy that Santorum’s people dreamed up to keep getting paychecks.

[rodguy911]

Its not about what used to swing between your legs its about not getting your way. You obviously don’t handle that too well now do ya?

[Miss Marple]

You know, the only people who use that analogy about the lipstick on a pig are democrats, ever since Sarah Palin.

Go pout somewhere. I deal with reality.

[bray]

Hey Hippie, I don’t know who those people are but I am really honored you would compare me with them.

I have the best job in the world and am fighting the war against the commies right here in PTown. We submitted our 4 petitions which will put a roadblock up against Light Rail coming our way.

This is as big a story as is possible in this city which is the model for the Obozo mass transit system. Freedom Rules!

[rodguy911]

It’s not a huge surprise that any candidate that has been running for years has lots of support from within the party has all kinds of organization, all kinds of money, can win a nomination of either party.These things don’t happen in a vacuum. They happen for a reason.

[mtnwmn]

Put me in the opposition party! No way am I sitting in the corner and pouting!

[Clint N. Suhks]

Her defense of the stand your ground law was brilliant.

Snuffelupags was dumbfounded.

Congratulations are in order to Spike Lee. In order to avoid a guaranteed losing lawsuit, he settled-up for making what may turn out to be one of the most costly tweets in history. Other jump-the-gun lefties are still in the running to see who ends up paying the most. They all love to leap then look.

[bray]

Dittos, Santorum is a far better candidate than Romney. It may be inevitable but was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? What? Never mind, he’s on a roll!

We still have primaries left and now that Newt has basically dropped out let’s have a two man race and continue the dialogue.

I still hate that Mitt uses the scorched earth campaign method and ends up hurting himself as much as he does his opponent.
