"I don't have lobbyists running my campaign"
 
What a damn liar. Romney is turning out to be one slippery sob. He says that his campaign is not run by lobbyists, but one of his top campaign advisors is, yes, a lobbyist. Then, when the truth is rammed down his throat (by a reporter) on camera, he shoots back the same canned answer - "My campaign is not run by lobbyists." Wtf? I know it's business as usual, but when is enough enough? It smacks of Clinton's - "How do you define sex?" Apparently, when confronted with the truth, simply repeat the lie. Why waste time with explanaitions? :rolleyes:

ROFL. That confrontation with the AP(?) reporter was pure gold. He has more than one lobbyist serving on his campaign staff. :)

and this just in......

Reports (recently confirmed by an un-named source) indicate that ANY politician
running for ANY office is lying ...if their lips are moving! Gasp!!!

Highlights at eleven.

(yawn)

Romney is as fake as a three dollar bill.

The Republican John Kerry

I just get sick of rolling over and taking it in the a$$ everyday from these slimes. I'm happy you are comfortable with it though.

Could they at least be a little more clever? It reminds me of the Austin Powers, penis enlarger scene. "One Swedish penis enlarger" - "That's not mine baby!" -- "One receipt for Swedish penis enlarger....., signed by Austin Powers" "Honestly, that's not my bag baby." - "One book entitled, Swedish penis enlargers are my bag baby" written by Austin Powers.

I'm going to vote for the best liar I guess.

Romney is definitely slimey, but in a much sexier way than Kerry. He has a very sexy presence about him. Mmmm... yeah, he is a sexy man. Next to John Kerry, Romney is borderline doable.

Mitt does his best to look like a young Ronald Reagan, and when his five or so sons get together it looks like a collection of Ken dolls.

I hate good looking people.;)

If you think 'I' am comfortable with it (by something I have written) please explain how you arrived at that conclusion??

So I take it you're for gay marriage then? ;)

rammstein 01-18-2008 08:22 AM

Only if they are as cute as Romney and Edwards.... OOOOOoohh...

They would make such a lovely couple ;):o

I took a second look at Romney recently and I'm definitly voting for him. Of all the candidates, he's the closest I've seen to a true conservative.

And the way the press are jocking Huckabee and McCain, that's pretty much what pushed me into his corner. Both of those guys are unelectable.

I'd go for Ron Paul (he's my congressman), but he doesn't have the base to get the nomination.

Your post seemed a bit sarcastic. I got the impression (from your words) you think these kind of antics are so common they are acceptable. Did I misunderstand?:confused:

I'm surprised that Romney lied. Usually, he's pretty spineless. At least he was as a governor.

Stuff happens. People/politicos form opinions and take stands on issues. Sometimes that position happens to be popular with the constituency, and other times politicians fall on their faces. That's life. Except for Mitt. He always seemed to defer public opinion. He'd be studying the issue, or some crap like that. Wait for public opinion to form over a week or two, and then hop onto the bandwagon and support whatever side seemed to be most popular. I'm not encouraging rash decision-making. But at the same time, that's not leadership material, IMO.

Since when did ethics and honesty have a productive part in world politics? Fact is, an honest and ethical politician would get chewed up and spit out in minutes. Our political problems are much bigger than any one man (or woman). Even POTUS. It's a culture that needs to change...and that ain't likely to occur! So...vote for the scumbag best equipped to succeed in such an environment. Now...how do we define success? Never mind.

I give Mitt a "big balls" award for being able to look the other way on illegals in the construction and service industries so that the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics could be completed in time, and then turn around and claim he is the toughest on the illegal immigration issue.

Big, big balls........................and no one has called him on it.

I think a lot of people feel this way. If everyone who felt that way gave him their vote anyhow, it WOULD make a difference.

I think at this point I will write him in. I don't care about the 'throw away a vote' nonsense. Its not thrown away- its who I think the best of the worst is.

I'm seriously considering Romney...for the simple fact that by dropping a few oil rigs on that greasy head we could eliminate our dependence on foreign oil.:cool:

cmccuist 01-18-2008 11:11 AM

My wife is a huge Ron Paul supporter - and she's a teacher! I think it has to do with eliminating the IRS and the department of education.
