I'll break my arm pulling the lever for Romney, fully expecting he'll disappoint me at some point. I despise Obama that much.

If he turns out to be more conservative than I expected it will be a pleasant surprise.

Yes, I know I misspelled "Massachusetts". Two things work in my defense: 1) The spell check and grammar website 'spellcheckplus' did not flag the error. I noted that and made a mental note to correct it. FAIL.

2) The state is too liberal to deserve correct spelling. :P

[wolfpat]

Yeah, my ears perked up when he mentioned the 10th Amendment too. I have been reevaluating my position that I would probably vote for Johnson.

A ping shout-out to all of you who I met at the shoot who are not on my ping list. If you like my work, please indicate you wish to be on the ping list, and your wish will be my command

I'm convinced of only one thing at the moment ~ he'll probably beat Obamugabe but that shouldn't rule out preparing to start an impeachment by third Monday in January.

[Lazamataz]

I have to tell you, the rest of the factors would have gone unnoticed, had he not mentioned the 10th Amendment. That one mention turned the tide for me on Romney. He might be alright.

[TrueFact]

I think you might owe me an apology.

People around here get banned for heresy like this.

I have stopped posting on political threads because of it.

Good luck,

The 10th Amendment mention, heretofore never seen in my adult lifetime by any ‘mainstream’ candidate, didn’t do a thing for you?

[Darren McCarty]

My tagline gives my reason.

I'm not a Mitt fan. I voted Santorum. However, I know for a fact that Mitt would fire 99%, if not 100% of Obama's cabinet and czars. He'd also have a chance at appointing decent Justices to SCOTUS. At worst, it won't be Holder as AG and Kagan on the Supreme Court.

Hi Laz. Do you expect any surprises from Ryan?

[cripplecreek]

Just don’t back down from him. Vote for him if you must but be unafaid to speak up when he does wrong.

[The Duke]

I'm thinking that, regardless of is degree of conservatism, Romney may just be the most *honest* politician of my lifetime.

There's someting to be said for that.

It certainly beats that n're-do-well that we have in the White House today.

Those days have passed. Romney is the candidate. Like I noted, we fought Romney tooth and nail. This site was no exception. JimRob has indicated that it is time to stop fighting Romney.

But this article is more than simple compliance: It is how I feel. Something happened during the debate that blew me away: The mention of the 10th Amendment, and to a much lesser degree, Romney mentioning the Constitution in the background of their stage. Pretty amazing stuff for a purported 'liberal', no?

[muawiyah]

I believe we saw the Constitution read outloud in the House by Representatives. Somebody had to do the 10th didn't he or she?

I watched that ~ you didn't do that.

In before the Laz and Humble Gunner Pic !

[no-to-illegals]

Have crossed over Laz. Once the picture appeared, it hit me, you are an alien! Thank You, Mr. Alien.

I think you might owe me an apology.

I must, regrettably, decline to apologize, sir. I fought valiently and honestly against Romney with the facts at my disposal.

New facts have been introduced. I will not apologize for changing my mind based on new facts; I will not apologize for a political fight waged before I had those new facts.
