Mitt Romney?

Republican?

I in no way support Ann's cussin'

But I like her style. ;D

[chiver78]

that was highly entertaining, thank you!

I can offer up a few general comments, if you'd like, or I can tear into the entire video with timed notations. rest assured, as a MA-hole that leans liberal, I have quite a few notes (and references) that might benefit your own arguments against Romney.

you can feel free to let me know what level of ridicule is welcome. I'll acknowledge and honor that request for a day or so, until I leave on a business trip anyway. then I'll come back and let fly as I see fit.

your choice, for now. you have until Sunday morning to utilize the reserve I've granted for my qualified opinion and references. enjoy your night.

I don't think he's so much a psycho as a slickmeister extraordinaire. ;D

He's getting good advice now and is looking pretty good. That's a bad thing as far as I'm concerned.

In his interview with Greta Van Susteran the other night he was sitting in a room with windows. Through one window you could see a gas station. Smart. Problem was, while there was traffic on the road there was absolutely no movement at the ?photoshopped? gas station.

Also in that interview I noticed some new self deprecation techniques. He actually looked human. As I said, not a good thing. Obama in one hand, Romney in the other. . . Not an ounce of difference except Romney would be more effective in doing his master's bidding.

Romney has a tough road to hoe to win the Republican nomination....his record in Massachusett was not that awesome according to my friends and family who live in Foxboro, Dedham, Walpole and Beverly...they don't like him at all.. He made a lot of promises when he became Governor of Massachusetts and didn't deliver on many of them including creating jobs since he bragged about his business background a lot then.

Also to be loved and respected in Massachusetts a conservative has to be seen a lot in Fenway Park watching the Red Sox or in the Garden watching the Bruins or Celtics. Romney had other interests I guess??

Now does that not sound familier about another politician in the white house?

Mitt Romney: Jihadism is "not Islam"

A new twist on politicians' failure to understand the depth of the jihadist threat: For Mitt Romney, "jihadism" is apparently nothing but his label for what he considers a heretical, militant branch of the Religion of Peace. Indeed, the quotation below indicates Romney himself is firmly within the bounds of Beltway orthodoxy with respect to the nature of Islamic teachings.

"Mitt Romney: Jihadism Is Not Part of Islam," by Dan Gilgoff for US News, June 3:

With Obama's big speech to the Muslim world in the offing, I asked Mitt Romney in an interview yesterday about a major speech on national security that he gave on Monday at the Heritage Foundation [...]. In it, Romney referred to Islam only insofar as he referred to "jihadism," a term he used four times in the address, and to "mullahs" and "ayatollahs."

I asked Romney how he'd respond to Muslim complaints that his speech characterized Islam in entirely sinister terms. His response surprised me:

Count the talking points:

I didn't refer to Islam at all, or to any other religion for that matter. I spoke about three major threats America faces on a long term basis. Jihadism is one of them, and that is not Islam [one! - Marisol]. If you want my views on Islam, it's quite straightforward. Islam is one of the world's great religions [two] and the great majority of people in Islam want peace for themselves and peace with their maker. [three] They want to raise families and have a bright future. [four]

And so on:

There is, however, a movement in the world known as jihadism. They call themselves jihadists and I use the same term. And this jihadist movement is intent on causing the collapse of moderate Muslim states and the assassination of moderate Muslim leaders. It is also intent on causing collapse of other nations in the world. It's by no means a branch of Islam. It is instead an entirely different entity. In no way do I suggest it is a part of Islam....

It doesn't Romney and Obama have a lot in common that would fill up this entire thread ...

No, I meant she was a psycho, not Romney.

[deziloooooo]

Considering he was a Republican in such a Democratic State, and had to deal with both houses full of Democrats, he was hoping to get a few more pubs in, never happened, I am sure that had a lot to do in what he could accomplish .

I thought he was liked by the legislatures and over all liked by the constituents and if he had spent more time in the State, doing State business, less giing for higher ambitions, I thought he had a good chance to be reelected if he chose to run.

For the most part he is right , however, and as a politician he surprises me in not understanding that is not what the populace , the majority want to hear especially from their politicians.

The populace, so many here for example, want to hear exactly the opposite, not because it is true but because they believe it is true..whether they just are uneducated, won't have a open mind, understand anything beyond their own neighborhood, anything beyond is starting to become foreign, love the talking heads and drink in so much of their babel, so little of their own thoughts and when some bring up possible they MIGHT be a BIT wrong in their ideas , they try to drown them out or on here send them off to another spot,............say the EE. ;D

Sweet VA pls be more specific with that descriptor because some thought you were referring to one of our members...and had me wondering which one??......

[Deleted]

Mitt Romney?

I don't know anything about him other than: So far the left hasn't gone crazy because he is running (just look at the few posts on this thread). I now believe that the person to vote for is the one that when they announce they are running will get a liberal backlash of 100 post within 2 hours. All of them threatenings to leave the country if he is elected. Now that's someone to vote for.

[Deleted]

Maybe he can at least get business going again. He's not my top pick, but I will vote for him against Obama if it comes to that. If our politics is being manipulated as bad as it seems to be these days, which I never really understood until Obama beat Hillary, and Romney ends up "in" just because......... not sure I will keep wasting time paying attention. With the media focus as it is on certain people only, like they are PUSHING certain people forward, while ignoring others, like Herman Cain-- who still polls high in polls that bother to include him, which most do not, it's pretty impossible to believe the whole thing is not being set up.

My opinion as to your comment Krickett, , good for you, clear thinking, correct doing if it comes to that. I know your feelings about Obama, and Romney is NOT fulfilling what ever are all the points you would like to see in a candidate, but is fulfilling enough of them that you would be making a conscious choice of over looking many points you disagree on, and go for the big picture, over all, Romney fulfilling the major things you have concerns on.
For me, I hope you are the exception and your fellow cons continue to nit pick the viable candidates to death, not support them and let them fall by the side of the road and concentrate on those who fulfill most of the pubs litmus tests importance of ideas for a pub candidate, thinking Gingrich, Palin,...along those lines, a hope a hope, but again, good post, you go girl.

I fully believe the Republican party is capable of getting Obama re-elected by not voting at all, or for voting for some no-win candidate as protest. Like I said, I'm about through with politics. I'll watch and see how the next year and a half plays out, and if it plays out to be Obama vs. Romney, as it stands so far, for NO logical reason, why bother. All that means is that the blissfully uninformed will always outnumber the few that try to stay informed and we are all just pawns of the global bankers-- which I used to think was some weird conspiracy theory..

But you will not stay home on election day, you will hold your nose and go in and vote for Milt right, conspiracy or no conspiracy?

At this point I'll do whatever to get rid of Obama. No one can be worse.

You go girl and I got your back....And even Cain would NOT be worse than Obama...and he has NO political experiences but is another good speaker who doesn't use a TelePrompTer

LOL, PI!! And I'm voting for Molly, too, of course (and without even holding my nose!!) How do we find out who is running for mod here?
