Mitt Romney... our current biggest 2012 obstacle?

[sratiug]

I like Romney as a person. He sounds like a great bloke...

I would too, except he wants to put crippling sanctions on Iran, even though Iran helped us in Afghanistan against the Taliban. That means he is a terrorist. Fuck the terrorists.

And he wants to mandate people to buy health insurance. Health insurance is not health care, it is welfare for corporations. He wants people to give their money to rich corporations. They'll have to work more, have less time with their kids, and not be able to spend as much on healthy food for their children. If they wanted to give everybody in Massachusetts healthcare, they should have just built a public hospital and hired some doctors and nurses.

Now there is a truly liberal answer. Turn it over to the government.... right.

Oh yeah, and it's a smart idea too to let Iran get nukes so they can blow Israel out of existence and use them on us if in any way possible. That will definitely keep us and the middle-east much safer. Now that's the kind of peace I'm talking about.

Romney turned it over to the corporations. Fascism is not greater than socialism.

We just threatened Iran with nukes, Israel consistently calls for military strikes on Iran. Explain why Israelis have more right to live in the Middle East than Iranians. I didn't tell Israelis to steal land in that neighborhood. Thieves usually make people angry.

Israel has attacked America in the Levon affair and the murderous USS Liberty attack, and with countless spies stealing our secrets. They are not our ally, and our generals are warning us that Israeli actions are putting our servicemen in danger.

ex-speaker newt G. has arrived... his 527 and its 2.7 million campaign

First off, the Mitt care/Obama care issue aside, Mitt is a known liar and an admitted gun banner. He lied and said he was a lifelong hunter, which was verified as a lie when he was found to have never had any type of hunting license. He has openly and repeatedly supporting banning so called "assault weapons" nationally. For most people into individual liberty and the constitution, gun control and someone's position on this is a pretty good litmus test as to where their heart really lies when it comes to individual liberty and the constitution. It is pretty obvious that he isn't on our side... hence the reason I started this thread in the first place.

Does anyone have any more thoughts on the OP?

I'd like to add gay marriage to the list of things that makes Romney unlikely to get the Republican Nomination in 2012.

if sen. cornyn (R) of texas and mitch mcconnell met up with wall street people recently to
the degree where president obama wonders why the foot dragging on campaign reform,
does this have anything to do with the 2.7 million newt now has, rather than goldman sachs...

 

[Aratus]

what if the cambling casino mentality on WALL STREET and the skim
on the federal gov't bailout funds that is morphing into PAC & 527 monies
is the many headed hydra of politcal corruption all true reformers are fighting?

Nate, do you have any quotes from Ahmedenijad saying he wanted to destroy Israel as opposed to merely removing the zionist government of Israel? It doesn't seem logical for Iran to nuke Israel to ashes if their concern is the plight of the Palestinian people.

I pegged Mitt Romney as a big government phoney poitician the first time I saw and heard him speak on television. This man would be poison and CANNOT win against BO.

I dunno..Let me check with my lawyer.

For those of you asking if Romney's name was on the bill, I'd like to remind you that of two things.

1- Massachessetts allows for a line item veto. No, he did not sign the portions of the bill that mandated people must buy insurance or be fined by the state. The part he did sign was to divert funds that were already coming into the state for Medicaid and to pay hospitals for their losses, divert those funds to help poorer families obtain their own insurance and take some responsibility for the expenses of their health-care.

2-The MA legislature is vastly Dems, almost 80%. They overrode his veto on all 7 of the items in the bill that he vetoed.

When you say that the governor is solely responsible for a bill, when his legislature overrode his vetoes, then you are being intellectually dishonest. You WANT to pin the whole thing on him, irregardless of the facts. Since Romney may run as a contender in 2012 he is the enemy and you NEED him to be wrong on everything.

I have shown you the facts here. Most of which I'm sure most of you did not know. But you have it so ingrained in you heart that Romney is to blame for everything in MA Care that you simply will no longer listen to reason. That's when our conversation comes to an end.

YouTube - ObamaCare is RomneyCare 2.0

Oh Romney, the smart business man that couldn't see the recession coming when he was already in the midst of it.

Our current biggest 2012 obstacle... the American People.

Does anyone have any problems with what Mitt says at YouTube - ‪Mitt Romney at Emory's Goizueta Business School‬‎

He supports insurance mandates, National ID card, the drug war, war in iraq, and Afghanistan, supported abortion law despite "opposing" it, supports "One Strike, You’re Ours: lifetime GPS tracking." with regards to crime. believes in no child left behind, supports assault weapon ban, wants to raise military spending,

WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really, really, really don't like Romney. I can at least bear others like Huckabee and Gingrich, but Romney always has this smirk on his face that wreaks of an inflated ego.

It doesn't matter, though. As I've said before, the more heavyweights we have running in the 2012 Republican pool, the better for Ron Paul. Let Gingrich and Romney beat each other up and split their votes. Paul will thrive as the darkhorse.

You know I think you have a point. Especially given ron paul's exposure during his last run and the incredible base he has to help dominate the early primaries.

I think Huckabee is just as bad.....atleast Romney doesn't want a federal ban on smoking, that includes businesses on private property.



But yes, here's hoping Romney, Huckabee, Gingrich, Palin, Pawlenty, Petraeus, Pence, Jindal, Christie, and Brewer all run.


Split that neo-con vote!!

 

[Beanie_N]

I personally don't mind Christie but I don't think he'll run. As for all the others, I hope they all split the votes allowing Paul the opportunity to win!
