I see you don't like Romney. So, big question, wait for it

Who are you going to vote for, Obama? Romney and Obama are the only ones in the race and with your ranting, etc. you will not be able to change that. So I ask again, since you don't like Romney, are you an Obama supporter? In my opinion, anyone but Obama would be a godsend.

Please note that the 2008 financial collapse started when the Democrats took over the Congress in 2007. And also remember that President Bush had over 50 months of straight job growth and an unemployment rate well below 5.5. And that was after 9/11. So remember again, the economy started to tank when the Democrats took over Congress. Period.

Ryan would be a great VP pick. I really like him and he’s great on the economy and on explaining it.

The trade off is we’d lose him in Congress.

I think you’re wrong about women. I honestly think most women prefer a man for high office. they may not admit it but I really think they do.

Like me. I belong to the Episcopal Church, have for over 30 years (same church) ... They permit women priests but most of the women I know prefer a man priest... just because we do! (hah)

I guess LaHood and Durbin just evolved. Sad that one county can determine the path a state takes. This was my second visit, the first being Carbondale, and enjoyed myself. Springfield was really neat. Always something going on in the downtown area. Lots and lots of folks down there with their families having a grand old time.

[bray]

Careful altura, you are dangerously stepping on ground that says men have value. Not PC in America. Not promoting your victimhood.

[altura]

Don’t waste your time, sunshine. Dio is one of those people who forms an opinion and then worships it.

His opinion is God to him, and I find him a total downer, very annoying and wrong about most things.

“Oddly enough, I like it when Fox News Channel supports the Republican candidate.”

Isn’t it odd there are “conservatives” who won’t support the GOP nominee against the marxist kenyan. It seems we are finally finding out who the real RINOs are.

[Diogenesis]

You can attack the messenger, FRiend(s),
but both Boston newspapers issued timely similar
obituaries of the Romney Governorship.

Here they are:
“The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday.
The cause of death: failed leadership.
The party is survived by a few leftover legislators
and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists
who have been ignored for years.
Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow.
In lieu of flowers, send messages to Republican voters
warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney.”
- Boston Herald, 11/12/2006

"In 2006, while Romney was chairman of the National Republican
Governors Association - a group dedicated to electing more
Republican governors - his own hand-picked Republican successor
as governor lost badly to the Democrat, despite the fact that Republicans
have held the governorship in Massachusetts since 1990. Romney largely
ignored the Massachusetts elections and spent most of the time
during the campaign out of state building his presidential campaign.
He came back and publicly campaigned for the Republican candidate
the day before the general election!
“Locally, this is a rebuke to Mitt Romney and checking out within six months
after being elected and having accomplished almost nothing,”
[Jim] Rappaport [former chairman of the state Republican Party]."
- Boston Globe, 11/8/2006

"Governor Mitt Romney, who touts his conservative credentials to out-of-state Republicans,
has passed over GOP lawyers for three-quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he has faced,
instead tapping registered Democrats or independents -- including two gay lawyers who
have supported expanded same-sex rights, a Globe review of the nominations has found.
Of the 36 people Romney named to be judges or clerk magistrates, 23 are either registered Democrats
or unenrolled voters who have made multiple contributions to Democratic politicians
or who voted in Democratic primaries, state and local records show.
In all, he has nominated nine registered Republicans, 13 unenrolled voters,
and 14 registered Democrats."

Romney Rewards one of the State's Leading Anti-Marriage Attorneys by Making him a Judge
Romney told the U.S. Senate on June 22, 2004, that the "real threat to the States is not the
constitutional amendment process, in which the states participate,
but activist judges who disregard the law and redefine marriage . . ."
Romney sounds tough but yet he had no qualms advancing the legal career of one
of the leading anti-marriage attorneys. He nominated Stephen Abany to a District Court.
Abany has been a key player in the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association which,
in its own words, is "dedicated to ensuring that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision
on marriage equality is upheld, and that any anti-gay amendment or legislation is defeated."

"Romney announces he won't fill judicial vacancies before term ends
Despite his rhetoric about judicial activism, Romney announced that
he won't fill all the remaining vacancies during his term - but instead
leave them for his liberal Democrat successor!
Governor Mitt Romney pledged yesterday not to make a flurry of lame-duck
judicial appointments in the final days of his administration . . . David Yas,
editor of Lawyers Weekly, said Romney is "bucking tradition" by resisting the urge to
fill all remaining judgeships. "It is a tradition for governors to use that power to appoint judges
aggressively in the waning moments of their administration," Yas said.
He added that Romney has been criticized for failing to make judicial appointments.
"The legal community has consistently criticized him for not filling open seats quickly enough
and being a little too painstaking in the process and being dismissive of the input of the
Judicial Nominating Commission," Yas said.

Bottom line?

I love men and I don’t care who knows it.

And women are certainly not victims unless they are in the mood to use ‘victimhood’ for some purpose.

[bray]

So you are telling us something we don’t already know about Romneycrat? We probably know more about him then you do, but he won the primary by unsavory means and has the Country Club victory. Are we happy? No, but do we have a choice? Who do you suggest we vote for?

[CDB]

She’s got amazing hearing, as dogs do.

What a hilarious tale about Gerald the cat, and JoAnn the dog. Does JoAnn also have high cheekbones, like all "Indians" (except Elizabeth Warren) do?

[bray]

Quit spamming the thread with your long boring picture laden posts. We have seen them a thousand times and we just have to scroll through them. Now answer the question, who will you vote for in the General when it is Romney and Obama and no more spam.

[altura]

Not to turn this into a doggy/kitty thread (although that is not horrible) but the dear old lab, Bubba, simply cannot hear me when I call him over to have his ears doctored or for some like purpose.

But from two rooms away, he can hear me open the container that holds his sticks. I look up and there he is.

[shalom aleichem]

Thanks for thread AB. “I’ll Have Another” is on track to Triple Crown. Bodemeister is his only competition. Here’s hoping Bambi gets nipped at the wire even tho we can’t root for YKW (you know who) on here.

[altura]

Thanks, bray. He wouldn’t listen to me but he might listen to you.

This is the Sunday morning talk show thread. Dio spews that propaganda on ten other threads a day. It’s totally canned and repetitive.

I wish he’d take it there and leave this thread in peace.

[animal172]

“But from two rooms away, he can hear me open the container that holds his sticks. I look up and there he is.”

That’s because he is just like most two legged critters called children. They both have selective hearing.

[bray]

Boy you aren’t PC, loving men is almost a jailable offense to the femihags. You deserted your sisterhood just like Palin. Next thing your going to say is your not for “reproductive rights” like 100% of women are for.

Doncha know you have to be an Affirmative Action group or you are the enemy.

It drives my wife crazy when I walk in on a murder mystery, spot the successful White guy and say its him!

[Diogenesis]

bray, I reported factually re: Fox News (post #19)
and then corrected facts (post #24) and in response
was attacked by you and your RomneyBOTs with
ad hominems and disingenuity.

First, Reporting facts is not ‘spamming’ to my knowledge.

Second, it is too bad that RomneyBOTs such as you,
remain on your KNEES to a man whom you know is
untruthful and who has indelible unconservative
PAST ACTIONS, and who is not even the candidate yet,
and you have done this before several states
have even voted. Have you no shame?

[Bernard]

Dog treat containers are made of special materials that dogs can hear very well. And not just a noise; the miracle material also dispenses the smell of bacon.

[bray]

I am noticing he won’t answer the question. Is he going to not vote and give Ocommie half a vote or vote for Ocommie, that is his only alternatives to Romney.

We fought against him but our votes were divided between too many Conservatives to win. We have to vote Romney and get some help in the House to hold his feet to the fire.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Obama said, “we’ve added more than 2 million jobs in the private sector.”

What do you mean "we"....white man?
