Willard Romney: Republican Nominee

  • Congratulations to all the supporters and the people who will vote for Mitt Romney for POTUS in November. The Mittster earned(bought) the nomination and will be the nominee of the Republican Party. So to all his supporters lets take a look at what you are voting for.

    1. As governor of Mass. Romney created the first healthcare plan in the US for their citizens. At the time he accepted all the accolades from the Plan. When Obama created Obamacare he used Romney's plan as something to build off of. But a funny thing happened on the way to the nomination, Romney switched sides. He began telling everyone he would veto Obamacare on Inauguration Day. Why? To placate the Right Wing of his Party. Willard flip flopped. AGAIN!

    2. At one of the debates a gay U S soldier stood in front of the crowd in the auditorium and asked "what the candidates would do about Don' ask, don't tell". Of course the crowd hissed and booed the gay soldier but did Romney say anything about the question or the soldier asking? Of course not. He took the COWARDLY way out instead of standing up and acknowledging the soldier's opinion as something the soldier was due in this country. Like I said, a limp wristed coward.

    3. When Willard was governor he supported Planned Parenthood and a Woman's Choice. He even gave money to Planned Parenthood and said he admired the work they did. But now? Flip flopped! Again! What's man of conviction. It makes you wonder what he really would do he he became POTUS. Is anyone seeing a pattern here?

    4. At a rally on Tuesday a Romney supporter was given the mike to ask a question. But first she called President Obama a traitor, someone who if found guilty would be given the death penalty. But did Mitt take the microphone from the lady and correct her? Of course not. Remember, he's a coward. He just kept talking like he never heard the question. Is this what we want as a President? Basically he is a Chickenshit! Sorry, but true.

    5. Yesterday Romney took credit for the Auto Industry bailout. Wow!Can he be more Disingenuous? He just plain lied. Did the story make Fox, I doubt it unless they agreed with him, which certainly is possible. Mittster said he would have let the companies go bankrupt then let them borrow the money to bail themselves out. Clever of Romney but just a lie. Because as anyone may remember the banks were not lending anyone money let alone them. So if he was such a financial Wizard why didn't he know that? Because he is the biggest liar since Dick Nixon.

    So this is what you have Cons. These are facts and I know you are allergic to them but too bad, he is all yours!

    There was a convict in West Virginia that received 40% of the vote in their democratic primary against the President!

    Doesn't surprise me. You are as ignorant as those people in West Virginia. You don't care who you are voting for, just voting against Obama which is pretty much how we get morons in office.Congraulations for not letting us down.

    Aren't you the one who talked about people not knowing what they were voting for? Seems like more evidence for that rant.

    Most dems who favor Obama did not bother to vote, the turnout of dems was 27%. So 40% of the 27% means that about 10% of dems voted for the immate at most, probably less since independents were allowed to vote in the dem primary and over 2% of them voted.

    Actually, with the attacks on coal energy plants, it does not surprise me that the people of WV aren't voting for the President. So no, this does not have anything to do with my rant.

    The kicker is, some poor soul might have to go to the Democratic Convention and vote for this guy, ha.

    Calling me and an entire State ignorant because of the way we want to vote? Very nice. Not suprising though.

    Weren't they the underinformed ones who voted 40% for a convict? And aren't you the one thinking it was cool? Ignorant does not mean stupid. One is ignorant because they are unaware of the facts - either unknowingly, intentionally, or unintentionally. That pretty much sums up right-wing conservatives, and especially Tea-Partiers.

    But I will state that ignorance and apathy are two dangerous traits when it comes to voters.

    This is the problem. You don't know if they were voting FOR the convict or AGAINST Obama. I clearly stated that I would vote for "air' over Obama. This election coming up, I am voting AGAINST Obama no matter who his opponet is.

    I never call out people for the way they vote. I hammer the politicians. It is Liberals who denigrate people for casting votes.

  • Looks like Romney was a bully in high school. Don't care to find the article for a link, but radio just aired reports about him chasing down and cutting the hair of a classmate back in the 60's. This young man had long hair and according to the ace journalism 'may or may not have been gay'. All I can say is the timing of this article is very coincidental, the day after Obama comes out in support of gay marriage and the country buzzing about bully phenomenon .

    It didn't happen. That is the Liberal media trying to get the Liberal base fired up. Seriously, they claim that it was way back in 1965, when Romney was a minor.

  • Mitt should use the "I am evolving" strategy regarding the alleged bullying incident (if it indeed happened) and I'm sure the media will applaud and forgive. I didn't think Clinton's womanizing history was relevant (maybe the lying) and I don't think someones actions in grade school should be a primary consideration when electing a President. I'm not a fan of bullying - if Romney is involved in wedgies and swirlies in his current private life I would be really mad and vote for someone else who wouldn't bankrupt our country.

    Unless the bully was Obama. He would have already been crucified by now.

  • I guess you're right - I do feel intense apathy for Obama, as opposed to his legions of supportive sheep, since the definition of "apathy" is as follows:

    1. absence or suppression of passion, emotion, or excitement
    2. lack of interest in or concern for things that others find moving or exciting

    I just don't feel "passion, emotion, or excitement" for the guy, and certainly have a major lack of interest in what others find "moving or exciting" about him.

    You win.

    Get your head out of the sand. It did happen, 5 different sources. But then you think Obama is a Nigerian Muslim terrorist anti-American who will give thevUS to the Middle East

    Given that McCain won WV by 13 points in 2008, not sure that anything he has done in office would have mattered.

    Coal is the paradoxical filthiest form of energy but the life-bread of coal miners.

    "...the United States particle pollution from existing coal power plants is expected to cause some 13,200 premature deaths in 2010, not to mention about 9,700 additional hospitalizations and some 20,000 heart attacks....
    The total monetized value of these adverse health impacts adds up to more than $100 billion per year. This burden is not distributed evenly across the population. Adverse impacts are especially severe for the elderly, children, and those with respiratory disease.In addition, the poor, minority groups, and people who live in areas downwind of multiple power plants are likely to be disproportionately exposed to the health risks and costs of fine particle pollution."

    Gee, why would anyone have a problem with coal?

  • To the OP..

    Sounds like a lot of Social Issues that I just don't care about....

    I will vote for whoever can improve the economy, not only for the short term, but for the long term.
