Posted on December 10, 2011 at 10:10pmI find it disgusting that some people are so harsh about Romneycare, what do you propose this country to do about our healthcare? Don’t get me wrong, I hate the idea of Obamacare but what Romney did was try and he should be commended! Even though it pretty much has failed. Here is what will happen.. people will die.. first the senior citizens because already drs are threatening lower care for them… then your disabled will die.. the poor will die.. I do not agree with everything about Romney.. but I do commend him for trying to get healthcare for everyone in his state..here lies the problem… Obama saw what Romney had did and decided to try the same for the whole country without really waiting to see whether Romneycare worked.. We are at a impasse in this country.. will it be only the middleclass and the rich who will have any healthcare.. what of the poor, the old who live on fixed incomes, the disabled?? We have returned to the very healthcare we had 100 years ago… when you become sick.. then realize you will die.. you very well may suffer excruciating pain.I choose to commend Romney for trying.. I do not believe him to lie.. I believe he speaks the truth.. but tell us Gilbert what is your solution for healthcare for our country?? What I see is greed from Dr.s.. hospitals and all medical.they chargeway to much for healthcare.. and there lies the real problem in America.. fix the criminals in who have bilked healthcare over and over again.. and we do have criminals in H

Posted on December 10, 2011 at 10:25pmIt has been my experience that every person who HATES Romney just because of Romneycare are typically Evangelicals, Born Agains. Look in the mirror and ask your self, are you Bigot ?? I been to the churches and heard the lectures about Mormonism being a cult, I was appalled.. Never went back again because of it. Any faith that feels the need to take down or bash another faith, has a reason, to protect their money coming in, so nobody leaves their church. That kind of negativity is why so many from the left speak of the left being judgmental. I hate it is even more because I know where they are coming from. The hate I see for Romney that isn’t backed by what could be a number of reasons, but isn’t, instead, just hate….. Very bothersome… At least for me it is.

Posted on December 10, 2011 at 11:16pmI doubt it Gilbert, but I really don’t care what religion you are. I am only speaking from experience and tired of the constant unsupported bashing of Romney. Falling right into the media’s plan, having Newt pull ahead, and we are going to get Obama again because they will cream him as they pull his past forward. Not to mention the countless Kennedy democrats like half of my family is who will vote for Romney but will NOT, in any way, vote for Newt. They HATE him with a passion. But whatever, why should I even care, I am working on on my degree as a psychologist, I will only benefit financially from all the government money as we move towards a socialist state. I am not saying all evangelicals, only a certain breed. I know because I am in the fellowship of AA and NA, ave been to 1,000′s upon 1,000′s of meetings, and there are only certain ones who find it absolutely necessary to bring ‘their” particular form of Christianity into the meeting. When discussing Christ, they become heated. We got McCain because of this evangelical push last election. I have nothing against them, I am glad their denomination works for them, but I can’t stand the notion that unless you are in their boat when it comes to saving, them you are unwelcome. I just want to win this election period andtaking Romney down isn’t going to do it, I assure you. I love the rest of the candidates, but certain issues will cause them to not get elected. America is to social at the moment.

Posted on December 10, 2011 at 11:35pmI am sick of hearing complaints about “RomneyCare.” Romney vetoed 8 parts of the bill and the state legislature overturned all of them. Why is that important? Because it shows that if Romney had vetoed the whole thing, it would have passed anyway. In other words, Massachusetts WANTED it. Stop ragging on Romney for what the state he governed wanted.
Of course, I’m sure all of you self proclaimed conservatives would say he should have done what his “principles” tell him, regardless of what the people of Massachusetts wanted. We already have someone like that in the White House. He rammed Obamacare down our throats against our will, because that is what his ideology tells him is right. Romney gave Massachusetts exactly what they wanted and tried his best to make it work. Personally, I prefer Romney’s approach to governance.

Romney‘s faith is not the reason he isn’t polling well. The reason Romney is doing so poorly is because his policies suck. He has flip flopped at least 9 times and has no real principles and values. That is the truth and as a Mormon you should admit Romney has flip flopped. After acknowledging his flip flops you will then realize why no one likes or will vote for him.
Newt and Romney are a cut of the same cloth, say what needs to be said to get elected. Both of them suck and are flip floppers. They can’t be trusted. Newt is horrible and kind of a jerk. His arrogant attitude is exactly like Obama’s. Can’t vote for Newt.

What bothers me is being dishonest… especially when the whole country is watching you and probably judging our religion based on your actions. I think Romney is a good guy in many ways. A great business man, a great family man, apparently he’s been a great leader in the church… but he has a maniacal desire to become president and he is consistently dishonest with everyone. I find it frustrating. He is also very dishonest about his record in MA in general… claiming to have cut spending and “cut taxes 19 times.”

Hobbs is DEFINITELY right. To deny that Mormons are generally disliked or even hated within the Evangelical community is delusional. Mike Huckabee himself has said disparaging things about Mormons, and Huckabee was the one who split the Christian conservative vote during the last cycle. Not surprisingly, the group he pulled the most from was Evangelical Christians. He stayed in the race long beyond the point that he was a viable candidate for the sole purpose of making Romney lose to McCain.

I have an intimate understanding of the spirit, for it has saved my life, and I am certain I take my steps in life in either faith or fear. When religion gives me ultimatums using fear as the directive unto which my salvation will be attained, I know this is not how my understanding of faith works. All loving and ever forgiving, isn’t a conditional love, it is unconditional. I have not found a church that hasn‘t tried to scare it’s followers into faith…… So that’s where I stand … I like Paul , Bachman, Santorum, but they will not win. I don’t want Obama again, it’s that simple. I watched the right get fooled last time and got us McCain, I was burned up. I am watching it happen again.

I do look at things objectively and Romney sucks. When a person flips flops as many times as Romney and/or Newt has that person sucks at making choices and I’m not trusting him to be President and make choices for our country.
Romney’s faith has nothing to do with it. Romney’s lack of faith, flip flopping on his choices, does have everything to do with it.
I’d vote for a Mormon all day as a true honest Mormon would not have flip flopped 9 times. A honest Mormon would make a good sound Godly choice and stood by it. Romney did not do that. Romney won’t get my vote ever…

My sources I’ve cited are the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank (just go to their site and search RomneyCare), and the MA CAFR. Do you know what a CAFR is? You’ll find it on the MA state website. Pay close attention to the effective tax rate per capita, the long term debt per capita, and the overall government spending… they all increased significantly under Romney. If you want I can cite all the polls that say that the people in MA (especially republicans) view RomneyCare unfavorably, but you can easily find these for yourself.

In 1980 Alvin Toffler wrote the book “Third Wave.” While Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich endorsed the book, and put it on his congressional recommended reading list. He liked it so much, that in 1996 he wrote the forward to it’s sequel “The Politics of the Third Wave.”
The premise of both books is that national sovereignty is an outdated concept. The books call for the complete repeal of the US constitution. It envisions a world wide technocracy run by multi-national corporations and NGOs.

In one of his Books, he wrote, “In the days before Medicare and Medicaid, the poor and elderly were admitted to hospitals at the same rate they are now, and received good care. Before those programs came into existence, every physician understood that he or she had a responsibility towards the less fortunate and free medical care was the norm.

Posted on December 12, 2011 at 2:46pmI would challenge those who claim Romney is a liar. Here is what I have looked up for myself: Refresh your memory or simply read the facts regarding the ORIGINAL plan Romney’s team put forward regarding (my emphasis added):
1) Massachusetts Health Reform: What the doctor ordered
Published on May 6, 2006 by Edmund Haislmaier
Points to ponder from the afore mentioned link:
Report Post »In practice, these approaches left consumers with a health insurance market that resembled Henry Ford’s auto market — one offering only one or two models (all painted black), but obtainable from many independent dealers.
Massachusetts has inverted that model, opting instead for a CarMax approach — offering many different makes and models to choose from, all obtainable through one giant dealership.
Massachusetts has reached a bipartisan agreement to give citizens what they really want: a health system with all the familiar comforts of existing employer group coverage, but with the added benefits of portability, choice, and consumer control. Those are huge positives.

Posted on December 10, 2011 at 9:34pmSome of the candidates aren’t too smart — they are playing right into the hands of ABC who is trying to make the candidates look weak. Instead of criticizing each other, they should focus on criticizing Obama. Obama will use all of these criticisms to tear down whoever ends up to be his opponent. As much as I’d love to see a female president, I pray it isn’t Michele Bachmann. She isn’t real bright.

Posted on December 10, 2011 at 11:29pmI agree with Glenn in V.: Undoubtedly Newt is the best one to successfully debate Obama. Some other are okay, but none as informed and sharp and quick on his feet as Newt. Bachmann has strong values, but comes across as so driven and single-minded that she scares people; Paul comes across as a good prophet on financial issues–someone to remind others of core monetary issues, etc.–but he also strikes most Americans as an oddball and a quack; Santorum seems too young and wet behind the ears for the job, as well as seeming harsh and unfriendly; Romney has the good hair and the presidential look, but he seems rigid and vindictive and entitled and plastic and more interested in pleasing the most voters than in holding to core positions.
Gingrich is far from perfect, but is the man for our times–smart, informed, understands the historical roots and values of our nation; has the quickness and wit and courage to speak up articulately for doing the right thing; and, at this stage of his life has wisdom, too.

Posted on December 11, 2011 at 12:04am@OklahomaMike With all due respect. I only hear that about Paul coming from the talking heads on radio and the mainstream media. And of course, from people that parrot their every word. When I mention him to friends, family, and other folks (from both parties), they, for the most part, are in favor of his positions and record. I do believe that the media has had a very heavy hand in portraying him into that look or whatnot. Take the recent article on the Blaze for example. The headline said, “Ron Paul: Bush Administration Was ‘Gleeful’ After 9/11 Attacks”. This was misleading, as it gave the impression that he implied that Bush was gleeful because of the 9/11 attacks, or, was gleeful over the 9/11 attacks. When in fact, he was referring to the Iraq war, not 9/11 attacks. Here is what he said, “Immediately before there was any assessment there was glee in the administration BECAUSE now we can invade Iraq”. He was saying that the Bush administration was glad that they were now able, or given reason, to attack Iraq. He was not referring to the 9/11 attacks. As you may already know, Bush Sr and Clinton had always wanted to go to war with Iraq. That’s not a hidden agenda, that is fact. The word gleeful was referring to the quick willingness to attack Iraq, without further assessment or investigation. This is the kind of constant slander he has to face from both sides of the aisle.

Posted on December 11, 2011 at 12:50am@Okie from Muskogee: That’s what makes a vibrant and engaged citizenry–different views. I just can’t see Ron Paul having anywhere near the chance Newt does of beating Obama. Ron Paul has been more consistent on certain points, but he has also been more consistently “out of touch” with what most Americans think on certain other points–namely important aspects of foreign policy.
Ron Paul actually thinks it’s fine to let Iran develop nuclear weapons. Iran, the radical Islamic country controlled by mullahs, steeped in a world view that glorifies suicide for the glory of Allah. Mr. Paul’s approach on that matter is, I think, dangerously out of touch. In the Cold War the Soviets didn’t want to die, and for that reason the doctrine of MAD (mutually assured destruction) was an effective deterrant against nuclear attack from our enemies. But a radical Islamic government cannot be relied upon to not attack us with nuclear weapons, even if they know they will get obliterated in a counter-strike.
Another point: Ron Paul is simply not physically consistent with a presidential image. He’s old, skinny, his arms flap around, he doesn’t give eye contact, etc., etc. In an ideal world, only policy positions would determine people’s votes. In the real world, someone has to look a bit presidential in order to have a decent chance.
Again, Ron Paul has some good points, but in my view is both dangerously naive on certain aspects of foreign policy and also has negative charis

I actually find Ron Paul is more likely the only to beat Obama. Ron would still conservative democrats and many independents. No other Republican can do that. Just a thought to ponder.
You keep saying the “vast majority” and from traveling found that statement just is not true. Those that dislike Ron want that statement to be true but it just is not.
As for Iran: Ron Paul says we have no authority to tell Iran no to nuclear technology. We don’t my fellow Okie. Progressives will say we do but Constitutionalists will say we don’t. Our Defense department just released a report saying if we do strike their nuclear sites it will only set them back a year or two. Saudi Arabia just came out with plans to build 13 reactors in 5 years. Should we bomb them too? I’m no fan of Iran but if you are honest to yourself you will admit Iran could have and still could very easily buy a Nuke from Russia and use it in America without the hassle of trying to build one. Why haven’t they? You heard my piece about Iran so I ask you, what should we do about Iran?
I hear you, he’s old, but for a mid 30‘s guy to me it’s a plus. Skinny is good, better then a fat slob. In person he does look you in the eye and is much funnier. In the real world more will vote for Ron Paul for his message that appeals to all over Obama for his lying smile.
I see Ron’s foreign policy as a plus and his physical character of a man deserving respect. I appreciate your time.

Posted on December 11, 2011 at 8:36pm@Okie from Muskogee: I‘m unconvinced by Ron Paul’s legalistic interpretation of whether we have the authority to take out Iran’s nuclear facilities. No supreme court or president or congress in memory has understood the constitution that way. At best, therefore, Ron Paul’s interpretation is far from the only one. And considering that it puts the very lives of our entire nation at risk, I see no reason to adopt it.
As to what I’d do with Iran… I absolutely would have it American policy to prevent our enemies, or countries with cultures largely hostile to us, from getting nuclear weapons. I would not be as pessimistic or passive as you on this matter. If enemy countries knew they’d get bombed an in other ways painfully punished for attempting to gain nuclear weapons, far fewer would attempt it. Indeed, it‘s common understanding that Saudi Arabia is seeking nuclear capacity because it fears Iran’s developing nuclear weapons.
@The truth will set you free: I’ll trouble you to keep your theories about how I come to my opinions…to yourself. Not only are you mistaken about where I get my views, it‘s also silly and pointless to claim to know who I’m being influenced by.

In 95, Newt wrote the foreword to a book about tearing down the U.S. Constitution and implementing a Fascist World Government. The book was the “Third Wave.” Gingrich, while Speaker, endorsed the book, and put it on his congressional recommended reading list. This makes sense, since Gingrich was a CFR member.
Chester Ward, Rear Admiral, former Navy Judge Advocate (1956 – 1960) and a CFR member for 15 years, said, “The main purpose of the Council on Foreign Relations is promoting the disarmament of U.S. sovereignty and national independence and submergence into an all powerful, one world government.”

Posted on December 10, 2011 at 9:21pm@82dAirborne,
Debate can get emotional and some people are better at articulating themselves than others. As long as people stop attacking the candidate, but rather attack their positions debate is always more constructive.
When people start using “Paulbots, Neocons, sheep” et al then the attacks will start flying.
I think Ron Paul is the best candidate because of his positions on the economy and the constitution, which happen to be the two most important topics of our lifetime. I am far more scared of a car accident than a terrorist attack, our economic system is the most dangerous to our national security and liberties. So for me to pick Ron Paul is very simple, I would gladly debate any aspect of the constitution with any of you. It is my expertise.

Thank you for your post. I should have specified that “ a lot of Ron Paul supporters resort to name calling……” That was my mistake. I am sure that many are like you seemingly reasonable and thoughtful. Absolutely we need debate; very vigorous debate.
I don’t think Paul can win the nomination much less the general election. That’s my opinion. But it is a fact that SOME of the more fanatical Ron Paul supporters hurt their own cause with their rhetoric.
If it were up to me I would make Ron Paul the Secretary of the Treasury in a Nano-second! I think he would not do a very good job with the “Common Defense” part of the job of POTUS.

And I dont start calling people names until they call me names. I consider that fair game. But rather than tearing down eachother over what person we think should be POTUS we should rally behind whatever person will fix our economy, follow the constution, and not sumbit to a global body IE U.N. Whoever that person is thats who we should all support.

Posted on December 10, 2011 at 11:17pmReally? So someone who seems to have been faithful to his wife would make a good president? Is it that simple and one-dimensional? If so, you already have your president–Barack H. Obama.
In the real world, we need in a president the intelligence and knowledge to make smart decisions, the courage to make such decisions even in the face of opposition, and the wisdom to distinguish the important from the critical. Even if such a leader has fallen down morally on a number of occasions in the past, he may well be our best hope by far. As Lincoln said when the do-gooders complained that Grant drank a lot: “I‘ll have a case of whatever he’s drinking.” (Or those who value the Bible may remember that King David, God’s own chosen leader-king, fell into the temptation of infidelity.) Sometimes people need to get off their holier-than-thou condescension and choose the best person for the complex and messy job at hand.
In the current crop of candidates, I think Newt is the man.

Posted on December 11, 2011 at 1:00am@Kidcharlamagne: Every choice is a matter of context. If we had perfect candidates, I wouldn’t vote for any of the people on stage tonight at the debate–because none of them is perfect. It is my view that of the current crop of candidates, Newt has the best combination of intelligence, knowledge, ability to debate articulately, relatively conservative views, the courage to say what is unpopular to say, the wisdom of years…and, a very important factor, electability.
There is no perfect candidate running. Of the current lot, I think Newt is the best chance we have of a fairly conservative candidate…who can beat Barack Obama.

Posted on December 10, 2011 at 11:50pmI agree with Gary M. The Left is terrified of Newt, because he’s the first Republican candidate in a long time with both the intellectual firepower and the fearlessness to articulate powerful anti-Left arguments and to not cower at the first sign of media disapproval. He won’t make nice to everyone and endlessly “take the high road” the way McCain did. He’ll slap back–and it will sting.

Posted on December 10, 2011 at 10:53pmLove it when Paul supporters call certain Republicans a Rino. Ron Paul teamed with Ralph Nader of the Green Party in a suck-up session and pledged to work hand-in-hand with this major Progressive on subjects very near and dear to both their… it seems.. progressive hearts. A libertarian carpet bag’gng into the GOP and playing footsie with Progressives on issues they both agree on? Who is the real Rino…
Report Post »colt1860
Posted on December 11, 2011 at 1:41am@YepImConservative Paul and Nader came together to fight the Federal Reserve and, surprisingly, the healthcare bill. They are both against the bank bailouts, and agree on withdrawing from the NAFTA and World Trade Organization agreements. How is that Progressive?
On the other hand, Newt did a commercial with a far leftist to promote an actual Progressive agenda. And in 95, Newt wrote the foreword to a book about tearing down the U.S. Constitution and implementing a Fascist World Government. The book was the “Third Wave.” Gingrich, while Speaker, endorsed the book, and put it on his congressional recommended reading list. This makes sense, since Gingrich was a CFR member.
Chester Ward, Rear Admiral, former Navy Judge Advocate (1956 – 1960) and a CFR member for 15 years, said, “The main purpose of the Council on Foreign Relations is promoting the disarmament of U.S. sovereignty and national independence and submergence into an all powerful, one world government.”

Posted on December 11, 2011 at 8:10am> COLT. You don’t think that Paul allying himself with Nader to talk about cutting the Military budget, cutting funding for the Military bases overseas, yanking all troops home from those bases around the world and dumping the Patriot Act is just a tad fom the pages of the leftist progressive playbook? Of course not…. you’re a Paul the Rino supporter. I think Paul had some dealings with Bernie Sanders from Vermont too… an admitted Socialist and they got on quite well. Paul is a “fringe” politician. He likes to ally himself and work with the rest of the fringe (left) in politics. Birds of a feather.
It’s not all about end the Fed with the fringe elements that Paul likes to work with. It’s about the fact that in general tems… they are the only ones who take him seriously, not to mention the what he likes about their progressive and socialistic stances.

Posted on December 11, 2011 at 3:53pm@Yep Obama, one of the biggest Progressives of all time, hasn’t even remotely done any of those things, and I don’t think he will. Paul had some “dealings” with Sanders in order to fight against the Federal Reserve. I’m pretty sure that there are voters and politicians from all sides that are against the actions of the Federal Reserve. There’s a difference between working with the other side without abandoning your principles to better fight an unconstitutional service of Government, and uniting with the other side to pass some hidden or personal agenda or special interest. By the way, none of these ‘bipartisanship dealings’ would expand the powers of the federal Government, or get us into more debt. They all took an Oath to the same Constitution, so yes, eventually you will have people on both sides work together. They did not work to make our old light bulbs illegal, pass Obamacare, raise taxes, make another federal department, arm more federal agencies to collect taxes, restrict gun rights, infringe on State rights, restrict individual liberty, or undermine our private property rights. When Paul talks about Military spending, he usually refers to extra spending not in line with Defense spending. Of course, that could be seen different by other people, but it certainly isn’t progressive, especially now that we’re broke, printing more money (inflation), borrowing money (from China), and have the largest debt ever amassed in all our history.

The Blaze hasn’t ran any negative stories on Romney but they have on almost every candidate who has been out in front of Romney! Is it because they don’t think Romney is a credible candidate?
