Fair enough, but once the show goes national we get Romneys pledge to repeal Romneycare. Joel Send a noteboard - 02/09/2012 11:10:55 PM
Like I said to nossy recently, it comes down to whether one believes the extremist platform is just insincere pandering to the base but the moderate positions one likes are sincere commitments. In Romneys case, whether his record as governor was anything more than paving the way for a presidential run. Were he not a senior Mormon leader (he did, after all, fly back to UT seeking permission to condone abortion so he could run for governor in MA) I would call it even money, but it is "trusting his dishonesty" however we look at it.

Does Not a "WE [Not I] BUILT THIS!" Banner Concede Warren and Obama Were Right? Joel - 01/09/2012 02:45:52 PM 884 Views
It amazing how much the left doesn't get tis issue random thoughts - 01/09/2012 02:55:44 PM 635 Views
It is amazing how well every sentence but your last covers the "We [not I] built this" view Joel - 01/09/2012 03:29:27 PM 659 Views
let’s put it back in context random thoughts - 01/09/2012 05:23:01 PM 753 Views
Politifact already did. Joel - 01/09/2012 05:53:23 PM 821 Views
+1 - nicely said. The "built it" comment drives the left crazy, since they know..... Anonymous2000 - 01/09/2012 04:25:52 PM 554 Views
Nope, it drives us crazy because it's an out-of-context fragment quote beetnemesis - 01/09/2012 07:01:24 PM 545 Views
they all know what he said and context doesn't change it *NM* random thoughts - 01/09/2012 07:11:01 PM 305 Views
...of course it does. beetnemesis - 01/09/2012 08:31:37 PM 574 Views
This is the kind of shit that makes me and my family not want to vote Republican. Dan - 02/09/2012 12:01:01 AM 639 Views
Interesting response.... Joel - 02/09/2012 12:07:01 AM 537 Views
They're both acting normal (for politicians) Dan - 02/09/2012 12:12:31 AM 683 Views
I disagree; they both did something downright bizarre (again, for politicians; see link.) Joel - 02/09/2012 12:20:32 AM 616 Views
Heh. Dan - 02/09/2012 12:25:10 AM 663 Views
Bah, everyone knows Taxachusetts residents are mad, and tyrants to boot. Joel - 02/09/2012 03:04:57 AM 778 Views
Yes the GOP really need to make more effort into trying to win Massachusetts random thoughts - 02/09/2012 02:17:49 PM 612 Views
I don't like irrational hissyfits. Dan - 02/09/2012 05:27:25 PM 692 Views
If don't like having hissyfits stasy on your med random thoughts - 02/09/2012 09:26:50 PM 590 Views
Only if you want a Senate majority. Joel - 02/09/2012 07:39:23 PM 790 Views
Exactly, the context doesn't help. Libs believe government knows all and makes all possible. Anonymous2000 - 01/09/2012 08:25:51 PM 528 Views
Sigh... what words a quote contains is not a matter of "POV." Joel - 01/09/2012 09:01:17 PM 756 Views
Seriously. Like, I'm not debating policy here- I am saying that those are the literal words. *NM* beetnemesis - 01/09/2012 11:53:39 PM 289 Views
I do not understand how that can be debated, yet it keeps happening. Joel - 02/09/2012 12:03:44 AM 586 Views
What should disturb you is what a bunch of unhinged hypocrites your party has become random thoughts - 02/09/2012 02:38:34 PM 627 Views
I have no party, and have already said mischaracterizing "corporations are people" is just as bad. Joel - 02/09/2012 04:15:01 PM 699 Views
Would you give a me link to where you created post upset about how Romney was being treated? random thoughts - 02/09/2012 09:10:03 PM 529 Views
Sure; the last time was about three days ago in response to you. Joel - 02/09/2012 09:20:55 PM 652 Views
are you on crack? that is a post of you defending the stupid Bain attacks on Romney random thoughts - 02/09/2012 09:30:00 PM 547 Views
You brought up Bain there; I merely responded and noted Romneys "corp." line was also misused. Joel - 02/09/2012 10:12:52 PM 790 Views
Joel. That's the thinking of a 12-year-old. You're better than that. *NM* Palatine - 01/09/2012 05:17:25 PM 293 Views
Saying "you didn't build that" denigrates individuals is twelve-year-old thinking:I merely note that Joel - 01/09/2012 05:45:06 PM 509 Views
I know what Obama meant to say. If he said it to me I would want to punch him in his liberal mouth. Tom - 02/09/2012 12:23:47 AM 656 Views
Ok, I'll put this very naively. Dan - 02/09/2012 12:36:33 AM 926 Views
Obama had his chance. Tom - 02/09/2012 12:43:25 AM 654 Views
True, I think. I just wish the RNC had taken a more concrete approach like you did. Could fuck them. *NM* Dan - 02/09/2012 12:52:58 AM 380 Views
"The Democratic health care bill that bears Obama's name for no good reason" Joel - 02/09/2012 03:44:18 AM 634 Views
and you really want us to believe it is a few comments that are keeping you from voting republican? *NM* random thoughts - 02/09/2012 02:40:13 PM 283 Views
Your suggestion that what I floated to Tom is somehow antithetical to the GOP is laughable. *NM* Dan - 02/09/2012 05:29:33 PM 364 Views
In fairness to rt, that sounds a lot like a welfare state, which is pretty antithetical to the GOP. Joel - 02/09/2012 07:10:47 PM 616 Views
Most are willing to enter the debate, and give a measure of ground. Hence Romneycare. *NM* Dan - 02/09/2012 10:40:21 PM 793 Views
Fair enough, but once the show goes national we get Romneys pledge to repeal Romneycare. Joel - 02/09/2012 11:10:55 PM 630 Views
"If you don't want to root for your team, then you should get the hell out of the stadium." Joel - 02/09/2012 02:15:11 AM 609 Views
Eh, what he said sounded to me like the usual politicians thing snoopcester - 02/09/2012 01:58:05 PM 526 Views
Your political philosophy seems based on ignoring the difference between voluntary & compulsory Cannoli - 02/09/2012 12:38:50 AM 696 Views
Huh, I think I hit submit by accident, before replying. Anyway: Dan - 02/09/2012 12:42:38 AM 774 Views
Yours seems based on ignoring the "WE THE PEOPLE" at the top of the document creating US government. Joel - 02/09/2012 02:48:45 AM 683 Views
I think there is something to be said for charitable interpretation. Burr - 02/09/2012 02:10:10 AM 580 Views
I am not sure what the best argument against the best reading of his argument would be. Joel - 02/09/2012 03:13:46 AM 611 Views
I don't think so snoopcester - 02/09/2012 01:47:03 PM 561 Views
