I am sure he takes a few sides on this topic, like all of them

At this point, I don’t think anyone believes a single word that Willard says.

“I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that,” he told a crowd of about 200 at a town hall meeting in Manchester, New Hampshire.
“It’s important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may be significant contributors” -Romney


That’s clear enough for me.

As Maggie Thatcher said and Ronald Reagan quoted, the problem with Socialism happens when you run out of other people’s money.

We long since ran out. Just since the days of when this advisor brags that it was Romney’s idea, we have moved closer and closer to the financial end of America as we knew it.

Romney bad as he is nevertheless has to know this.

Paul Ryan certainly knows this and Romney has embraced the Ryan view. Ryan doesn’t go far enough, but he offers something, a starting point, beyond where we’ve been, and the abyss we’re starting into.

Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Michelle Bachmann, Ron Paul all appear to know it.

That’s significant to me. It points up that Romney has a disgruntled, even angry, badly fractured mess of a conservative electorate on his hands and that Romney is not an ISLAND unto himself.

IF he acts accordingly, he will listen to the policy change proposals that are essential for our financial survival.

Whether he politically prefers them or not.

If he refuses, then the fractured mess he faces will get messier.

It isn’t brought up as much as some other hot-button flipflops of Romney’s, but his support of cap-and-trade and that whole global warming idiocy is one that really screams a huge, MASSIVE warning-signal at me.

Man, it’s impossible to trust Romney on a single, damn issue. It continues to boggle my mind, that the GOP has now descended to the level of serving up a Massachusetts liberal as nominee.

I think we are going to vote for Romney because there is really no other choice. Its vote for Romney or its 4 more years of Obama.

Ramming Romney down our throats is nothing less than the GOP-e rubbing our faces in business as usual, committee chairmanships, self enrichment, making the cocktail circuit, pandering, bribery for votes on pet projects, the wholesale rate sellout of our future for their own immediate political gain.

Romney is a loaded pistol aimed right at our head and I will not help pull the trigger. I hope Mitt goes down in flames for once and all, and that further we never hear from his sorry *ss again in national elections. And it's way past time to bury the GOP. I understand what the alternative is. So be it.

Article gives link to another article in “The Hill”:

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/224371-romney-campaign-claims-auto-bailout-was-his-idea

Which in turn links to other articles:

The claim appears to be a shift from Mitt Romney’s November 2008 op-ed in The New York Times, headlined, “Let Detroit go bankrupt.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/19/opinion/19romney.html?_r=1

In a February op-ed in The Detroit News, Romney called Obama’s auto bailout “crony capitalism on a grand scale.”

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/gop-presidential-primary/210495-romney-op-ed-defends-auto-bailout-opposition

“The president tells us that without his intervention things in Detroit would be worse,” Romney wrote. “I believe that without his intervention things there would be better.”


Do we believe Romney himself or his aide, who could be misinterpreted. Romney made his position clear in his articles.

To clarify is to lie. There is no other way for Romney.
