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 859 Views
It amazing how much the left doesn't get tis issue random thoughts - 01/09/2012 02:55:44 PM 617 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 633 Views
let’s put it back in context random thoughts - 01/09/2012 05:23:01 PM 726 Views
Politifact already did. Joel - 01/09/2012 05:53:23 PM 795 Views
+1 - nicely said. The "built it" comment drives the left crazy, since they know..... Anonymous2000 - 01/09/2012 04:25:52 PM 530 Views
Nope, it drives us crazy because it's an out-of-context fragment quote beetnemesis - 01/09/2012 07:01:24 PM 521 Views
they all know what he said and context doesn't change it *NM* random thoughts - 01/09/2012 07:11:01 PM 294 Views
...of course it does. beetnemesis - 01/09/2012 08:31:37 PM 555 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 614 Views
Interesting response.... Joel - 02/09/2012 12:07:01 AM 514 Views
They're both acting normal (for politicians) Dan - 02/09/2012 12:12:31 AM 652 Views
I disagree; they both did something downright bizarre (again, for politicians; see link.) Joel - 02/09/2012 12:20:32 AM 595 Views
Heh. Dan - 02/09/2012 12:25:10 AM 631 Views
Bah, everyone knows Taxachusetts residents are mad, and tyrants to boot. Joel - 02/09/2012 03:04:57 AM 749 Views
Yes the GOP really need to make more effort into trying to win Massachusetts random thoughts - 02/09/2012 02:17:49 PM 587 Views
I don't like irrational hissyfits. Dan - 02/09/2012 05:27:25 PM 674 Views
If don't like having hissyfits stasy on your med random thoughts - 02/09/2012 09:26:50 PM 570 Views
Only if you want a Senate majority. Joel - 02/09/2012 07:39:23 PM 766 Views
Exactly, the context doesn't help. Libs believe government knows all and makes all possible. Anonymous2000 - 01/09/2012 08:25:51 PM 501 Views
Sigh... what words a quote contains is not a matter of "POV." Joel - 01/09/2012 09:01:17 PM 728 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 283 Views
I do not understand how that can be debated, yet it keeps happening. Joel - 02/09/2012 12:03:44 AM 562 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 604 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 670 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 503 Views
Sure; the last time was about three days ago in response to you. Joel - 02/09/2012 09:20:55 PM 629 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 528 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 766 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 285 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 484 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 634 Views
Ok, I'll put this very naively. Dan - 02/09/2012 12:36:33 AM 893 Views
Obama had his chance. Tom - 02/09/2012 12:43:25 AM 631 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 364 Views
"The Democratic health care bill that bears Obama's name for no good reason" Joel - 02/09/2012 03:44:18 AM 605 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 275 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 351 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 593 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 761 Views
Fair enough, but once the show goes national we get Romneys pledge to repeal Romneycare. Joel - 02/09/2012 11:10:55 PM 607 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 583 Views
Eh, what he said sounded to me like the usual politicians thing snoopcester - 02/09/2012 01:58:05 PM 505 Views
Your political philosophy seems based on ignoring the difference between voluntary & compulsory Cannoli - 02/09/2012 12:38:50 AM 670 Views
Huh, I think I hit submit by accident, before replying. Anyway: Dan - 02/09/2012 12:42:38 AM 755 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 657 Views
I think there is something to be said for charitable interpretation. Burr - 02/09/2012 02:10:10 AM 557 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 591 Views
I don't think so snoopcester - 02/09/2012 01:47:03 PM 539 Views
