#2 de Medici,
Wow! As a site moderator I almsot feel conditioned to sinktrap you on sight, but this one time you actually managed to make a civil, well-reasoned discourse and for the life of me, I can't find a worthy reason to censor your post. Well done!

#3 bye, Mitt. Between Romneycare and Glowbull Warming support, you just got the "Golden Newt" certifying you as dead to me

#4 Real issues don't matter, only made up ones do. Anyone dumb enough to believe in this fairy tale should never hold elected office. Dumb ass.

#5 Given that I don't think Mitt believes a whole lot, I'm wondering if he believes MMGW.

I think he can't, as much as many of us would like, come out and say that it's all crap. The middle of the road independents are the key to the coming election, and Mitt can't afford to alienate them.

Mind you, if Mitt is the Pub nominee I'll vote for him.

#6 It is comments like this that keep Cain and Palin and the rest in the game and rising. Mitt has too much baggage and is too much of the country club Republican.
Granted, he will be 3000 times better than Obumble, but I don't think he is up to the task of really trying to turn the US around before it plunges off the cliff. He is just too wishy washy and too much of a country club boy.

#7 My dad taught me that it's better to sit quietly and be thought a fool than open one's mouth and confirm even the worst of thoughts. Mitt just proved he's a first-class "go along to get along" fool. We've already got one of those in the White House. With Mitt, the only thing that would change would be the "D" to "R".

"Middle of the road independents" have been a crucial factor in every step of the way in exporting our industries to the control of people like Hu and King Abduallah. They're doing as much damage as Zero, implementing the socialism but calling it "middle of the road"ism instead.

#9 Heard of RINOS? New term for you: Squirrel - SQRL - Status Quo Republican Loser

#10 I have had the same reaction. Mitt has lost my interest. Now I'm losing interest in Boehner. They act like they want to be on the team. Old Patriot that has always been my thought. I have most of my life been quiet and reflective. I would say I may be a fool but if I open my mouth everyone will know it. My handle now is gabby geezer. I like Palin because the left hates her so much. She loves this country and shows it.

#11 A couple of quotes from Mr.Romney yesterday;

" I believe the world is getting warmer and I believe that humans have contributed to that."

"It is important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gasses".

This plus MassCare, plus ethanol subsidies is 3 Strikes. Outta here.

#12 I'm still waiting to hear from Republicans who want to stop the looting of the public treasury and start prosecuting the malefactors of great wealth who are at the root of the current financial disaster, or as I like to call it, the biggest theft in world history. MMGW is IRRELEVANT and, like 'immigration reform' indicates an attempt by those who mouth the term to continue business as usual.
Here's a step in the right direction: Bank of America branch seized after it ignores court order. 5 months ago BA tried to foreclose on a couple who had nothing to do with any BA mortgage. The couple countersued & won their case. The judge ordered BA to pay the couples' legal fees. BA ignored the order. Some kind of court order was issued to seize BA assets in the county. Sheriff's deputies, movers, and the... attorney went to the bank and foreclosed on it. The attorney gave instructions to to remove desks, computers, copiers, filing cabinets and any cash in the teller's drawers.

After about an hour of being locked out of the bank, the bank manager handed the attorney a check for the legal fees.
The attorney should have insisted on cash, I wouldn't be surprised if BA tries stopping payment on the check.
Anyhoo, multiply THAT by a few million times and the US will be on a path to real improvement.

#13 I was thinking about this the other day when attempting a new recipe. If I had followed the recipe down to the letter of the chef I would have ended up with sticky briquets and a bucket of sand. So here we have obamacare which has already unraveled like a ball of yarn eaten by a dog and it has not even taken full legal effect yet.

Mittens. I don't want a waiver to all 50 states I want the damn thing thrown out and start over if at all. Y'all gave us an unreal recipe with real world consequences without fully vetting or even bragging pass it to see whats in it. Goebal Worming? You twit, you tool, you damn fool all you do now is make any other candidate look good.

#14 I wouldn't put it passed the Dems $upporting Mitt in the primaries along with the MSM (a-la McCain). He has the MassCare cloud over his head, which may help BO.

Unfortunately, the election comes down to the only (10) states that were once in Bush hands, that ended up with Obama in '08. (Fla,Oh,NC,Va,In,Col,Iow,Nev,NM,NH).

All the other states voted blue consistently or red consistently in the last (3) elections.
Obama needs to pickup 28 electoral votes to win, or the Rep candidate needs to pick up 90 electoral votes to win.

Of course this is way too premature and I am all wet.

#16 Thing about Mitt is that he's convinced he is so brilliant that it no longer matters to him what anyone else thinks. This he has in common with Bammo. The problem, of course, is when he gets it wrong, he gets it catastrophically wrong. Give me Cain any day -- a man who will ask questions and listen to the answers. Or Pawlenty, who will admit when he's wrong. Or Perry, who is usually right :-)

As for preferring Mitt over Bammo, it is an academic choice. RomneyCare can't beat ObamaCare in the general election.
