Is This a Picture of Mitt Romney Pumping His Own Gas?

November 20, 2012 at 6:49pm

In reply to HI_Don.

True enough. Mitt has millions, a great marriage, kids and grandkids who love him, hobbies, and interests. The only reason he put himself forward for the most coronary-inducing job on the planet was that he loves his country and knew he had the skills to serve her in a time of desperate need. God bless him.

Our country has made a profound mistake. I am afraid we will all pay dearly for it.
‘Just Wow’: Watch What Happens to TheBlaze’s Will Cain When He Tries to Explain Romney’s ‘Gift’ Comments on CNN

Thank goodness people are starting to speak up in defense of this truth that Romney articulated. Our dear Democrats long ago ceased to “ask what [they] can do for our country”. They are like crazed Black Friday shoppers snatching, grabbing, elbowing and shoving to get their goodies regardless of whether the behavior they are engaged in is healthy, moral or useful, for themselves or others.

Obama is the most divisive, immoral man ever to occupy the White House. And this unhealthy and unprincipled tactic is Exhibit A in the argument for one term presidency by Constitutional amendment. We in Virginia have one-term governors, and the result is that our state is almost always well-governed, whether our governor is democrat or republican.
Chris Christie Scrutinizes Romney’s ‘Gifts’ Remarks: You Can’t Be a Leader & Be Divisive

Come on, Governor Christie! Once upon a time, you also spoke the unvarnished truth, just as Romney was doing. And once upon a time, we admired you for that.

What happened?
Chris Christie Scrutinizes Romney’s ‘Gifts’ Remarks: You Can’t Be a Leader & Be Divisive

Governor Christie, you can’t expect to be leader of all the people and be a backstabber. Despite recent evidence to the contrary, there is still a segment of “all the people” who admire loyalty and character in their leaders. We also admire candor and plain-speaking, which Romney was exhibiting, and which are qualities for which we once admired YOU.
‘That’s One of the Dumbest Questions I’ve Ever Heard’: Sen. McCain Responds to a Reporter’s Benghazi Question

I just went back and read the Wikipedia entry on McCain, and was reminded of what he has suffered in solidarity with the troops. He may not have had the fire in his belly to fight for conservative principles, but I believe he will fight to the death to do the right thing by these dead former SEALS. May be the right man at the right time to root out the corruption at the heart of this appalling administration.
Leaked: Audio of Mitt Romney Explaining to Donors Why He Lost Election — And Guess What Bill Clinton Told Him

No, SoyBomb, ensuring that the country has adequate defense and reducing burdensome regulation so that the private sector economy — not Romney, not government — could create millions of jobs are not “gifts”. The are elements of responsible governance. Ordering the provision of birth control pills so that 30 year old law students can enjoy recreational sex; Obamaphones; student loan forgiveness — these things are gifts of my money to someone else for things they ought to be figuring out how to provide for themselves.

Gov. Romney sums it up pretty accurately. I’m not sure what Jindal’s beef is. People are badly divided, and the progressives are responsible. Romneys is no more dividing people by speaking this truth than an oncologist is responsible for his patient’s cancer when he diagnoses it.

There’s an old saying that good fences make good neighbors. This is not an adage meant to encourage people to be remote and uncaring; it is a recognition that people are happier with themselves and with each other if everyone minds his own business.

Progressive policies compel us all to underwrite each other’s lives and choices. So we become resentful and hostile toward others whose decisions cost us money. It is as simple as that. Romney doesn’t divide people by acknowledging the existing problem. We have to face the problem if we’re going to fix it.
How Did Obama Respond to Fox News Reporter Ed Henry’s Tough Benghazi Question?

November 14, 2012 at 6:03pm

Ed Henry, Senator McCain, Senator Graham, Senator Ayotte: Please do not let up on this! When I consider the horror and hopelessness of the Ambassador’s death; the betrayal and disbelief Ty Woods must have felt as he recognized that he was twisting in the wind, whatever must have been experienced by the others who were abandoned by their commander in chief, I am sickened to the depths of my soul. Senator McCain — you stuck with your men before; fight for them now. Dig in like a pit bull, people — – with or without lipstick.

GO Colonel West! Thank you and God bless you for your tenacity!

The folks on this thread who ridicule the possibility of all-out corruption really need to wake up. I am a criminal defense lawyer, and I can tell you this: people will do violence over five bucks in a convenience store cash register. You don’t think people are capable of a little chicanery when millions are on the line? Come on! Wake up, people. Obama has richly rewarded his boosters, and that provides a considerable incentive to a little creativity at the polling places.

In reply to Eirana.

Don’t despair, Eirana! There is some hope in the numbers. From what I read, it appears that, while the young demographic turned out much as in 2008, Obama lost a full 6 percentage points from that group. I’m no ghuru, but it seemed to me that our candidate should have visited more college settings, and let these young voters see him, hear his words, understand his essential decency.. Granted he would not have drawn the crowds that Obama drew, perhaps, but many of those kids are reachable. The biggest enemy we faced this year was unchallenged disinformation.

I wonder whether the governor is simply too good and too decent a man to assimilate how deeply sleazy other people can be, and how easily seduced and/or tricked by a soundbyte. I think he could have won some hearts on campus.

Our next candidate needs to show that he, or she, is not afraid of that setting, and meet our prospective future where it resides.
