Hear Romney and McCain seeing who could tout the Roman Catholics on the Supreme Court higher? The line is being drawn…McCain, Roman Catholic, wants to open the border in service to Rome’s plan to take over using amnesty and naturalization for illegals. They think long term and will get want they want by hook or crook, if we don’t stop them. Romney, a draft-dodging Mormon, is trying to out-Catholic the Catholic. Westmoreland is a Catholic name, is it not?

Hillary’s with them.

Obama’s the answer.

I watched the debate, “Jibreel Riley.” McCain and Romney only listed the Roman Catholic Justices they admired. Back and forth…topping each other in their praise for only the Roman Catholics… The same bloc that cheated homosexual draft-dodger Bush into the White House.

You like Romney: a Vietnam draft-dodger? Own it an be forthright about it. He’s a dodger, why lie about it?

We know Bush is a closet-queen. Isn’t Romney one too? He sure walks and talks like it.

This Spirit of Babylon is upon him. How else would he support the Anti-Christ?

A vote for Barack Obama is a vote for the defeat of America. He’s even a click below Clinton.

Obama is against the Patriot Act and he’s against stronger immigration policies.

He’s for higher taxes, a weaker military and open borders.

Yeah he’s a great choice for the future of America… if you’re a socialist or a terrorist.

And by the way… if you’re concerned about religion and it’s affect on politicians - I would suggest you take a good look at Obama’s pastor and his anti-America SOCIALIST church.

Lynn Westmoreland is a great conservative and his endorsement of Romney speaks well of his understanding of the success that Romney had as a businessman, turning the Olympics around and an incredible job as Governor in Massachusetts when he had a legislative body that was 80% democrat.

Incredible job as governor? Do you get your name from drinking that stuff? Mitt raised taxes and fees, increased the size of government, and did NOTHING to spur the economy there.

What did happen to Guilianni? Peggy Noonan, on The Daily Show, said that books will be written about what happened to Guilliani. I think what happened is that the Iraq War, artificially linked to 911, sank Guilliani. He stood up as the 911 guy, and when the truth about Iraq finally emerged after all these years, Guilliani was toast. So what? 911? What are you talking about, sir? We are in Iraq because of 911, and we have lost control. You sir, are a statue. go cold.

DONALD - I would never knock anyone for missing Vietnam…it turned out, like Iraq, to be a crime against the American People committed by the same Anti-Christ faction.

However, it was a crucible and a lens by which every able-bodied man or boy was tested, and through which each could examine his character as part of the Citizenry, as a man.

Romney, and Bush, dodged the draft - In and of itself no grounds for condemnation. At the time I had no awareness or the sophistication to perceive the conflict on any level beyond the essentials shown each evening on the news: body bags, blood, violence, death, and the efforts of Our Armed Forces in uniform under the flag, ordered by the president and approved by Congress.

Dumbly, and for the reasons old corrupt men exploit seventeen and eighteen year-olds through the ages, I dropped out of college and enlisted in 1968…with no regrets to this day. Without the knowledge, easily gained since, informing me that it was all a lie to serve the same treasonous faction mentioned, which has now committed 9-11 to pull the Iraq/Afghan version of the same “scam,” my duty was to serve my country by taking that Oath 9.2 million others had during the same period.

Draft-dodgers, like Romney and Bush, “missed the party.” Given the opportunity, as able-bodied young men, to place their lives down with the best blood, proving the best stock America has: men and women, willing to die for the Nation, to keep those of other families and states safe, is the measure of our, or any, culture, and they failed the test.

But it was a lie and a crime. Millions more aware or educated knew it and took to the streets in protest. Romney and Bush, and an entire echelon of pansies in the false-elite that sent us, not only demonstrated poor character in their dodging each good citizen’s duty to serve when able - answering the call - they didn’t dodge because they recognized the crime and the lie, wisely avoiding the occasion to suffer or die in an exploit they knew to be false and without moral authority, they dodged from lack of a sense of duty or mettle, the physical courage necessary to show up at Parris Island or Benning or Great Lakes with millions of what are your peers, to train and ship out and fight like young men have done since the dawn of time.

Neither did they protest and take their place on what was then the “outside” of “society” to right a moral wrong, and by so doing elevate themselves as citizens of wisdom and grace who could then offer themselves in the public’s eyes as seers and prophets who knew better and spoke despite the trouble.

This is the best of America: Dreamers and warm bodies willing to sacrifice whether for duty or glory; and dreamers and warm bodies willing to speak the truth in the face of even violent, deviant opposition.

That Bush has been discovered to be a closet-queen, of low character, a lying pervert, fits the model of a shirker, coward and draft-dodger unfit as a man or boy and unfit as a citizen or community leader. It speaks to his upbringing and the values passed to him and the environment fostered by his parents and their culture.

Romney comported himself as did Bush. The fight was raging and he neither ran to the guns nor complained of its wrong…and now, presenting as a closet-queen himself, by his manner and that shown by his get, wants us to make him elect so he can be the chief.

Ain’t happening. He’s a fraud, a thief and a coward…just like Bush. He touts only the Catholics on the Supreme Court, the perverse bloc that cheated Hitler’s banker’s homosexual draft-dodging grandson into office…whose father used the Roman Catholic CIA to kill John Kennedy and Dr. King to put us in Vietnam to begin with…and has opened the border as part of Rome’s plan to usurp Our Republic.

Catholics support McCain and Mammon-worshipping philistines support McCain and Romney.

America is built on a higher foundation. We must make Elect those whose character and vision is in keeping with the Founders’. Rejection of European effeminacy, pursuit of righteousness, integrity, the Rule of Law, personal virtue, physical courage, honor, fairness…qualities any good family passes on to its children.

The only candidate who fits the bill is an anomaly: the child of divorced parents, raised by his mother and grandmother, who now appears as a good man humbly willing to serve the People…Barack (which means “blessing” in Hebrew) Obama. He seems quite “conformed” to the system. But he speaks truth with grace and showed the wisdom and restraint to vote against Bush’s lie to go to false war in Iraq. As I believe Bush and Cheney should be tried, convicted and hanged for treason, Obama may be a much less controversial prescription for the ills now facing us.

McCain threw his jet away but never went back to bring to justice the traitors who killed John Kennedy and fabricated the Gulf of Tonkin Hoax to send us there to begin with…rather got in bed with them, literally, betraying the mother of his children who faithfully waited for his return.

The marks of men are clear for good or bad. Romney has served the Devil and made himself rich trying to feed a starving soul bent by the perverse culture which raised him.

Bush no less so, fed by perversion in his family’s dysfunction compounded by that at his prep school and Skull & Bones, he now consorts with a homosexual prostitute and regularly has kept the social company of Ted Haggard thinking G-d Almighty would fail to reveal it all.

They two, like the Clintons, serve the Anti-Christ. Any with an eye to see can see it well. You can’t make this stuff up. I learned it from America’s Founder Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and the Whigs who created America.

Knowledge is available to all. My family has been Catholic and Protestant and I’m proud of them all. A Catholic was the single warrior credited for the pivotal victory securing Our Revolution, but we must be Americans and know just who hates the idea of Individual Sovereignty and what unique elements came together to give us a shot at Freedom under Truth and Justice. Whig Theory is correct. Those who oppose it serve Rome’s false aristocracy, its pedophile priesthood, and the Anti-Christ.

In the History of the World there is only America which found the “magic” for Liberty and Justice for all…and we are on the cusp of losing it. The faction which supports these draft-dodging closet-queens is powerful. It promotes illegal immigration to line anew their coffers depleted by the pedophile priest court judgments. Their grip on our politics is great. Congress and Washington abounds with corrupted politicians, one of which, is John McCain.

We must do better. Obama is better. Hillary, the liar and beard, and her white-trash pervert “husband,” are not.

And Rush’s exemption must have had some political pull with it (maybe Rush was the “friend” of some deviant politician with a connection at the Draft Board) because I remember a formation when easily a half-dozen (of a couple companies) were called out to go on sickcall to get the same pilonidal cyst taken out. Couldn’t have been too big a deal as they were all already in. The fact that since that era Rush has shown out as lame to the point of taking Viagra to one of the known centers of child prostitution with a group of “good buddies,” and said on his TV show: “The Roman Catholic Church is the rock-ribbed backbone of American moral values,” as the camera panned across two priests sitting at the front of the balcony, when the latest pedophile priest scandal was trying to crank up, and has been married three or four times with not a kid to show for it, tells us everything about the “spirit of the age” over the Gingrich, Delay, Nixon, Bush, Haggard, Foley, Larry Craig Anti-Christ faction of lying, treasonous perverts that’s gotten us dying in false war, flooded with Afghan heroin, broke, and in hock to the Chinese and Rome’s Federal Reserve Bank.

Thomas Jefferson was right and so was Dr. King. We need to tend to Our Prophets and stone the traitors among us…no matter whether each one is backed by a Rockefeller, a DuPont, or a Mellon. They have to be expropriated and extirpated, one and all. If we’re farming for Truth and Righteousness in Governance for Our Posterity the “weeds” and “vipers” got to be chopped back.

Romney was not a draft dodger, you dope! He drew 300 in the draft lottery. That’s why he wasn’t drafted. He didn’t volunteer, but he had a family and was in college. If you are saying that every man that didn’t volunteer to go to Vietnam is SCUM, you are painting thousands of decent men with an awfully broad brush.

You’re probably just jealous because you didn’t work your tush off to graduate from college with a 3.97 like Romney did, or get an MBA (top 5% of his class)and a law degree (with honors) simultaneously in four years from Harvard. Romney’s done well because he WORKED REALLY HARD.

Mitt started work at Bain & Co. following college, was going to leave after a few years. The owner asked him if he would like to start and run a new company, Bain Capital. He did and got others to invest with him in the company, and he made it into a multi-billion dollar success. Meanwhile, Bain & Co. had floundered. The owner asked him to come back and fix things. He did, and in one year it was profitable, again. It’s never looked back.

Face it, the man’s a genius. He’s decent, brilliant, hard working, and wildly successful at everything he’s ever done. The reason for it again is brilliance, analytical ability, judgment, and EFFORT.

I want the economy strong, and I want the country safe. McCain has admitted on the record at least three times that he doesn’t understand the economy well. Do we want some old hack politician who has no clue—or the best businessman in North America—running our economy? (Watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoBKgmnVkrc

If we don’t elect this guy, I guess we’re just in for recession plus a slide towards socialism which has failed wherever it’s been tried. How could we be that stupid when we see what free enterprise has done for the people of this nation and the world?

Wake up, people. McCain, Hillary and Obama are just different sides of the same coin. They are simply orators—they TALK. They have not done anything productive in their lives. McCain served his country and deserves our thanks, but he does not deserve the presidency for it!

He’s doddering. He called Putin the Prime Minister of Germany the other day. The examples are there. Plus, his snarling, sneering temperament is juvenile and volatile. We need a man with a steady hand, not some old has-been liberal with a hair-trigger temper!

Please, be wise in your choice. These are desperate times. We need our best—and THAT’S MITT ROMNEY!

Here is Romney’s actual conservative record:

—-In the four balanced budgets he signed into law, Governor Romney used the line-item veto or program reduction power to cut spending by nearly $1 Billion. Over the course of four budgets, Governor Romney made over 300 line-item reductions, 350 line-item eliminations and struck language 150 times.

—- Gov. Romney was instrumental in passing a bill abolishing a retroactive capital gains tax in the state that would have forced nearly 50,000 taxpayers to pay an additional $200 million in state taxes and fees

—- 4 years ago —- before the illegals marched in our streets —- Romney opposed a bill that would have allowed illegal aliens to get driver’s licenses. “Those who are here illegally should not receive tacit support from our government that gives an indication of legitimacy,” the governor said. (Scott S. Greenberger, “Romney Stand Dims Chances Of License For Undocumented,” The Boston Globe, 10/28/03)

—- Romney vetoed a bill in 2004 that would have permitted illegal aliens to pay the same in-state tuition rate paid by citizens at public colleges and universities in Massachusetts.

—- Romney vetoed the bill providing state funding for human embryonic stem cell research

—- Romney vetoed a bill that provided for the “morning after pill” without a prescription because it is an abortifacient and would have been available to minors without parental notification and consent

—- He vetoed legislation which would have redefined Massachusetts longstanding definition of the beginning of human life from fertilization to implantation

—- Governor Romney strongly supported a successful ballot initiative that replaced the state’s bilingual program with English immersion. (Romney Vows to Protect English Immersion Law, May 1, 2003)

—- Governor Romney demonstrated his commitment to school-choice by vetoing a bill that would have canceled funding for Massachusetts’ charter-school program. (Romney to Veto Charter School Moratorium, June 23, 2004)

—- He supported parental notification laws and opposed efforts to weaken parental involvement

—- He fought to promote abstinence education in public school classrooms with a program offered by faith-based Boston group Healthy Futures to middle school students.

—-Governor Romney filed and signed into law the most significant expansion of military benefits in recent years. The new law reduced to zero the cost members of the Massachusetts National Guard must pay to attend public colleges and universities, increased twenty-fold the death benefit paid to families of members killed in the line of duty, created a new annuity benefit for Gold Star spouses and boosted the amount paid to Gold Star parents.

You DO realize his business background is the EXACT SAME as the guys running economic policy for Bush don’t you? What makes you think one little ol’ Mitt can somehow supercede the abilities of all of these other Harvard MBA’s already in charge? Look at his record as governor. Jobs FLED Massachusetts while he was in office. Manufacturing jobs declined. Housing prices declined. Housing starts declined. The tax burden on individuals increased. He didn’t exactly make MA a role model for economic policy. And don’t give me the line about he faced a liberal legislature. What do you think Congress is? The man has no principles. He flips positions on every major issue depending on what office he runs for. He broke promises when he ran for governor. What makes you think he would keep them as President? And the man actually did an endorsement ad for someone who protested alongside of Cindy Sheehan. What so-called conservative would campaign for and endorse a man like Rocky Anderson? Unless Lynn plans on endorsing Kucinich in his race, he backed a man who has more on record with liberals than conservatives.

McCain is not a conservative, and has a record that parallels Ted Kennedy. Let’s have a look….

-Telling the American people John Kerry was a war hero - so did Ted Kennedy -Called the Swiftboat Vets - “dishonerable and dishonest” - so did Kennedy -Contemplated running as Kerry’s VP -Promoted amnesty for illegals - So did Ted Kennedy -SSI for illegals - So did Ted Kennedy -Criminal trails for terrorists if CONUS - So did Kennedy -Closing Gitmo - So did Ted Kennedy -Against terrorist tourture/waterboarding - So was Ted Kennedy -Supports BS Global Warming - Do does Ted Kennedy -Voted againt drilling in Alaska - So did Ted Kennedy -Opposed Bush tax cuts - So did Kennedy -Opposed the marriage amendment - So did Kennedy

Is there anything more to say, really? Actions speak louder than words.

Also, McCain doesn’t show up much. He voted 56% of the time in the 110th Congress. ONLY person whose record is worse is Tim Johnson who is recovering from a brain aneurism!

When he does vote, it’s not conservative as seen above. The American Conservative Union ranks McCain as the MOST LIBERAL Republican senator after Lincoln Chafee, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, and Arlen Specter. Those people are barely Republican. When McCain caucuses, it’s with Democrats. Do we want Democrat-lite?

Come on, folks, this is a crucial election! Put on your thinking cap. We need the smart, capable, fit and energetic guy, not the cranky old and forgetful codger with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.

Assuming he lasts out his term do we really want to spend the next four years listening him pompously TALK DOWN to us, hear reports of his foul mouthed cursing of any who oppose him? Do we want more illegals flooding the country, strapping us financially? Do we want our economy hamstrung by global warming BS caps and limits that will do no good?

Why wouldn’t we want the nice, genius, over-achiever working for us? If we pass up Romney, we are NUTS!

You need to do a bit more reading, “Bookaholic.” This is Romney’s DOB: 03/12/1947.

He didn’t draw “300” until December of 1969…after dodging the draft until he got that lottery ticket out of Vietnam as a Mormon missionary in Europe.

Articles give the Mormon/political dynamic as to how he got that mission assignment/draft-dodge. I’ve linked to them and am happy to do so again.

Rather than support a known liar and draft-dodger, see to your own soul and do some more reading…or is the “Mammon” just too “good?”

And now he tells us so sorrowfully how he so wished he’d had the opportunity to serve in the military. What a queen! What a pathetic queen. The curse shows on him and on his sons.

It’s all moot anyway barring Diebold fraud. Your Nazi, fascist, false-elite treason is up. Expect a landslide for Obama…who lacks the moral baggage of the draft-dodging closet-queens of the GOP.

Romney out-measures the other candidates in every category: education, intelligence, commitment to family, accomplishment, morals, eloquence, handsomeness, height, and even an actual belief in a higher power … Romney is an Adonis for the GOP, and the party desperately needs an infusion of the qualities Romney epitomizes.

Here is something for you anti-Romney loons to read and weep:

Please allow me to post the CORRECT FACTS. Governor Mitt Romney inherited a $3 billion budget deficit in Massachusetts upon taking office in 2003 and the state was losing thousands of jobs every month. Over the course of his administration, without raising taxes or increasing debt, Gov. Romney balanced the state budget each year working with a 85% majority Democrat Legislature.

He erased the deficit by emphasizing cuts in wasteful spending and government jobs and enacting economic reforms to spur growth. Massachusetts had a $1 billion budget surplus by 2005 and the state’s rainy-day fund grew to $2 billion by the end of Gov. Romney’s term.

Massachusetts added 57,600 payroll jobs from the time the recession ended in December 2003 until the end of Governor Romney’s term. The unemployment rate in Massachusetts was averaging more than a full percentage point lower when he left office in 2007. (Massachusetts Department Of Workforce Development, “Jobs In Massachusetts Up By 1,700 In December,” Press Release, 1/18/2007)

Obama doesn’t have moral baggage? Actually, in some ways, he doesn’t have morals, period. Barack Obama is the most pro-abortion presidential candidate ever.

He is so pro-abortion he refused as an Illinois state senator to support legislation to protect babies who survived late-term abortions because he did not want to concede — as he explained in a cold-blooded speech on the Illinois Senate floor — that these babies, fully outside their mothers’ wombs, with their hearts beating and lungs heaving, were in fact “persons.”

“Persons,” of course, are guaranteed equal protection of the law under the 14th Amendment.

In 2003, Democrats took control of the Illinois Senate. Obama became chairman of the Health and Human Services committee. The Born Alive Infant bill, now sponsored by Sen. Richard Winkel, was referred to this committee. Winkel also sponsored an amendment to make the Illinois bill identical to the federal law, adding — word for word — the language Barbara Boxer said protected Roe v. Wade. Obama still held the bill hostage in his committee, never calling a vote so it could be sent to the full senate.

A year later, when Republican U.S. senate candidate Alan Keyes challenged Obama in a debate for his opposition to the Born Alive Infant Bill, Obama said: “At the federal level there was a similar bill that passed because it had an amendment saying this does not encroach on Roe v. Wade. I would have voted for that bill.”

In fact, Obama had personally killed EXACTLY that very bill.

Abortion is bad enough, but to have a guy who FAVORS KILLING BABIES WHO ARE ALIVE and outside the womb is just GHOULISH.

Then he lies in order to cover it up. Obama is not a good man—regardless of his speaking ability. We need someone decent for president.

Some people are just lemmings for their candidate. No matter how foul, stupid, evil, churlish, or inept, they have his back.

Too bad they don’t make you take an IQ test before you can vote. A lot of the McCain/Huckabee and Obama/Hillary people would be on the sidelines where they belong.

All you Mormon queens and Roman Catholic pedophiles rally ‘round “Pretty-boy,” draft-dodger “Wish he’d had the opportunity to serve” Romney.

Obama supports a woman’s right to her own G-d-given body, get it? Nazis, un-American Catholics, Mormons, others and sundry perverts from perverse pederast, pedophile, satanic, Sodomite cultures don’t want women to be emancipated. G-d does. America’s G-d’s Country. And you Nazi, fascist, Constitution-defiling, women-hating closet-queens are through.

Mad River - I’m not sure where you get your info from - wait, straight from Mitt. But Mitt RAISED TAXES while governor. Hometown papers, Club For Growth, and numerous other conservative sources will verify this. Mitt raised the gas tax and raised fees on items such as drivers licenses, marriage licenses, and gun permits. He cut funding on state colleges causing them to raise tuition costs exponentially. Look at housing starts and housing prices while he was in office. They both DECLINED. Manufacturing jobs DECLINED. Government jobs INCREASED. So please verify facts with Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, FDIC, Club For Growth, National Review, etc. Mad River, you are a victim of Mitt-Think. Mitt’s record as governor is MODERATE at BEST. Add that to the fact Mitt endorsed Rocky Anderson in his mayoral campaign. This man is the extreme opposite of a conservative. Add to that Mitt opposed Bush’s tax cuts as well but no Mitt supporter minds that. Mitt is consistently inconsistent. Who is the real Mitt Romney?

Let’s agree to adhere to the Mottoes bequeathed to all Americans by the Founders. Sects pursuing pedophile and closet-queen agendas can do it on their own dime until the Law and the People catch wind of them and straighten them out. Huckabee talking Constitutional Amendment to “make Jesus Lord” and Bush, a obvious homosexual hypocrite conning us saying Jesus is his fav philosopher does not cut it. They’ve used up their time, have to give back the money they stole and het the h… out of Dodge…the dodgers.

It’s the endorsements people give when they have more to lose than to gain by the endorsement that matter. Ingraham, AND ESPECIALLY HANNITY AND COULTER, have more to lose by endorsing Romney than to gain, since they know they risk alientating the probable winner and his supporters with the endorsement (McCain). It shows Hannity, Coulter and Ingraham have beliefs that matter more than their personal interests, and it reaffirms to me that they are principled. This is also the reason that Crist and Swarzenegger’s endorsements of McCain mean nothing. They’re opportunistic. They were waiting to see how they could gain the most personally with their endorsements. Unlike most, I believe McCain is a sure loser in the general election — perhaps the weakest candidate the GOP could run against a democrat, and I think it’s bigotry that’s secretly killing the GOP this election cycle (of the religious variety).

Ingraham, Coulter and Hannity…Roman Catholics all (Coulter calls herself Episc. same as the DuPonts and Hitler’s Knight of Malta banker, Prescott BUSH), Principled? Make us all laugh. They are the scum of the earth and traitors for Rome’s agenda. McCain is Roman Catholic regardless of what he now calls himself. His morals, desire for amnesty for the illegals Rome’s pumping across the border, and his support of closet-queen criminal Bush’s false war compounds his membership in the Keating Five and the blind eye the “great warrior who threw away his jet” has turned to Bush’s obviously committing 9-11.

Steven, does it matter that they are principled? I think not. Where were they when Bush signed those same bills they criticise McCain for? Where were they when Bush allowed for greater increase in the size of government? Where were they all these years that spending got out of control? They defended the President to the limits as he enabled a government that disavowed all conservative principles. They continue to defend Bush and enable this behavior but are somehow ‘principled’ for attacking McCain? And Coulter willing to allow cut and run military policies to the detriment of those in uniform who currently push to complete their mission. Coulter will support Hillary over McCain? No thanks. Principled doesn’t also give a free pass to a former MA governor who not only opposed ush tax cuts but raised taxes and did nothing to further a conservative agenda. Hannity, Rush, etc. pretend to make being a conservative the issue here but yet they do everything to further a candidate who has flipped on every position and has done NOTHING to prove he is a conservative. They will support a man who endorses a guy who marched with Cindy Sheehan and demands Bush be impeached. Does a conservative endorse a man who protests VFW and American Legion conventions? Advocate gay marriage and domestic partnership benefits? Kyoto environment policies?

SpinDizzy—You should know that different words mean ‘different’ things. Right? Fees aren’t called taxes because they are FEES.

Taxes are a general cost spread over the entire population. Fees are charges attached to a specific service. For example, if you want a hunting license, you pay for it and you get to go hunting. People who aren’t interested in hunting don’t have to pay.

Are you beginning to understand? Taxes—general. Fees—specific benefit. Think real hard. It may come to you in time.

In Massachusetts a lot of the fees had not been adjusted in 20 years. The charge to put a sign on the highway was $200. That amount was far less than commonly received by other states, so they adjusted it to a more appropriate amount—$2,000. Are you complaining that merchants should have not have had to pay the normal, higher fee? Should the the general public should have had their sales tax and property taxes raised?

A fee for this a fee for that. A few hundred here a few thousand there. It’s all so taxing. What good does it do? For one thing, those taxing fees help to pay for more government employees and that’s a good thing. Otherwise, we would have to be taxed in order to give them a welfare check. Taxes and Fees amount to more Spending Sprees. Yipee.

You have a great future as America’s new Goebbels, SpinDizzy. Like him, you believe a lie repeated often enough becomes truth to the gullible public.

Mitt Romney changed his public stance on abortion. Count it. That’s ONE issue. One is not every. You can’t really be that slow.

Privately Mitt was pro-life, but his brother-in-law’s sister died of a botched back-alley abortion. So, he was conflicted. A person can be pro-life and still NOT WANT WOMEN DEAD. He said he would follow the law and not fight it. After Massachusetts decided to do embryo farming for parts, he’d had enough and came out publicly for life.

I’m sure there are few things you value other than your personal comfort and reviling others. I’m certain by reading your posts that you’ve never had an original thought in your life. So, whatever you decided you believed at one time, that was it.

Perhaps you can read my post and note you missed one of what I listed - gas tax. This is a tax. It still does not matter whether it is a fee or not. You can argue that it is a fee but the fact remains he raised the gas tax AND fees. It’s a hike regardless. And it is NOT conservative to do so. It’s a simple concept and quite humorous that people are defending raising taxes on people with semantics. It’s odd that so-called conservatives are condoning someone who increases burdens on people by charging them more money whether taxes or fees or whatever word choice you have. And to say that because they have not been touched in years, they deserve to be raised? Where in conservative ideology is that? Last I checked, tax burdens and government influence in society was to be reduced and NOT increased. I love your regurgitation of Mitt’s debate line. Sorry but it is not backed up with facts. I am complaining that a guy claiming to be a conservative not only did not STOP tax collections in various areas but INCREASED them. In a time when gas prices are going up, was it responsible AND conservative to raise the taxes on gas? Perhaps few people in MA care about hunting licenses. But almost everyone drives and pays for gas. Regardless of whatever small segment you select, it still does not justify a ‘conservative’ raising taxes. So Mitt, raises them AND opposes Bush tax cuts. But yet McCain is the one deserving attacks? Hypocrisy in its purest form. And Lynn and others WANT this big spender and tax raiser in office? A guy praised by Barney Frank? Wow.

It’s hard to think someone is pro-life when they say in a debate they staunchly will defend the right to an abortion. It’s hard to think anyone is pro-life when they try to out-position Ted Kennedy of all people on the abortion issue. To help SpinDizzy out, Mitt was very supportive of the Brady Bill and is now no longer. He supported civil unions and gay rights. But claims no longer to be. He claimed to be an independent and no supporter of Reagan but now wants to be Reagan’s heir. He opposed the Bush tax cuts and told several people he would not be a “cheerleader” for policy he did not support. Yes, Barney Frank did say he was proud of Mitt for doing this. I’m not sure where you think these are all lies. They are all well documented. Mitt finally admitted to raising fees after denying for this entire campaign he ever did. KE and Bookaholic, seeing as how you have reepeated almost word for word Mitt’s spin from day one, I’d say your attack on SpinDizzy could call for a look in the mirror. You only repeat what Mitt has fed the public and have denied what has been fact and even stated by groups such as Club For Growth and comments by pundits on National Review Online. You might get away calling SpinDizzy a new Goebbels but you cannot get away calling several credible conservative groups liars as well. Please continue with your insults on intelligence. But at the end of the day, facts speak for themselves and you have a problem accepting them.

I think Romney is just too decent for you guys. You’re more comfortable with politicians, orators who have done SQUAT in their lives but grab for power.

A decent man who works hard, achieves great things, makes a bunch of money, then donates his time though he could be making a truckload of money—no salary for three years to rescue the Olympics, worked salary free for four years as governor of Massachusetts. A guy who loves his wife, stands by her when she’s ill, has raised a successful family, is happy and fit. Too much for you?

I think you just can’t identify with someone that good, so you slime him. I’d like to hear what you’ve done that compares to the above. I’m waiting, I’m listening…(crickets chirp). Envy is not attractive, guys.

Sockpuppet Bookaholic/Cricket…is that you Mitt? The guy is a lying, draft-dodging fruit on face value…if not a closet-queen like Bush, Ted Haggard, and most victims of Mormon upbringing, from what news stories I’ve seen. Polygamy has a cost and the sins of the fathers are visited on the sons to the third and fourth generation…five sons…dad, the dodger, is a big war hawk…and not one of his boys, with all those connections got into a Service Academy or suited up to go and fight the war their dad’s so keen on. Hmmm.

Pathetic…Google “Romney Bain Capital Off-shore Tax haven” and see what comes up. The guy is not only a fruit and a draft-dodger, he’s a smarmy lying hypocrite trying to con the American People that he’s some kind of businessman when all he’s done is sent jobs overseas, shut down factories and set up off-shore tax havens for rich investors to dodge paying U.S. taxes.

But he was “done” at draft-dodger and friend of the pervert traitor George Bush…it was downhill from there.

Wow. So a guy does well in life and makes money? You must be a big George Soros fan too huh? Liberals can be wealthy and devoted to family. Sorry cricket. I have higher standards than just being charitable and making money. I tend to like people who don’t change views in an opportunistic effort to run for office. People who lie about hunting varmints, being lifetime NRA members, marching with MLK, etc. Or just people who say they oppose tax cuts and then change their mind to attack people with the same view. You see I have problems with people who deflect rather than own up to faults. I care less about the fact the man has made money. You see, I have more concern over principles than anything. Someone can play the lotto and come into millions. But that doesn’t exactly make them a qualified person to run the country. Bill Gates, Ted Turner, Mike Bloomberg, etc. all have money and are very successful in the private sector. I’m not about to drool over them and claim them to be the next President and leader of the GOP. Give me someone who has stood up and taken unpopular stands despite political ambitions. I’m not so shallow to judge someone by the money they make. I require a little more in my President than you. Maybe you’re just in denial that this man is only a shell of a candidate and has nothing legitimate to offer. It takes a real man to change positions on everything to fit the audience he stands in front of. Only Mitt Romney has managed to cover both Dem and GOP positions on everything over the last 20 years…even the last 5 it seems.

Obama is an idiot. Anyone in IL knows it and it’s why most of us are not voting for him. He’s a liar. He’s also a Muslim. In his book he even says “He would stand with the Muslims.”

He joined his militant closet-Muslim church for political reasons because without it he knew no one would vote for him. But hey, there’s plenty of people running around with no health care program so they can’t get their meds to control their psycho episodes, that’ll all vote for Obama. Will Jones is a prime example.

Romney is the only GOOD candidate we have. This country has problems and Mitt can fix it.

And for you idiots that think someone shouldn’t be President because they didn’t serve in the Armed Forces, read the Constitution! It’s not required for anyone to serve.

Before one of you big mouth’s starts foaming — I myself, did try to serve. I’m legally blind so they sent me home! Romney isn’t bad because he went on a mission for his church.

Most Mormon men go on a Mission for 2 years following graduation from High School and that’s exactly what Romney did.

I’m Presbyterian, and believe everyone has the right to choose their own religion and practice whatever religion they feel makes them the best person that can become.

Calling people closet-queers when they’re not is sick. Will Jones, you need professional help. Hopefully if Romney gets into office you’ll be able to afford to get the help you need because obviously every Administration has failed you thus far.
