Mitt Romney - prep school bully

[guido911]

You caught me. I spoke out against Obama.

I still have reservations about him. I wish he would have accelerated the troop withdrawals. I wish he would have not added to the bank bailout. I don't feel as if he has taken the lead on the economy and has instead allowed Congress to go first. He renewed the Bush tax cuts in exchange for a small tax holiday. I don't think he is a good negotiator.

I do believe he was a better choice than McCain and a better choice than Romney. What's your point?

Umm.....Nothing. Just reminding folks on your track record on ripping candidates...And your calling me out to be intellectually honesty if your little story is accurate is just the cherry on top.

Things won't change until you figure out where the money comes from. All these people think there are two sides (Dem & Rep) at war with each other, when in reality they are all paid for by the same people. Why else did wall street get bailed out. In particular Goldman Sachs, because they pay the best (and they all work in government now). This is the primary reason that me and others on here preach reductions in government. It's not because I trust business more than government. It's because I understand the goals of business; to make money. Government on the other hand is far more complicated. And as long as they insist on having more oversight, they will be more and more beholden to monied interest. If you remove the reason to lobby, you will get less of it.

This in my opinion is why all the politicians, regardless of what they say, seem to act in lock step with each other.

Wait a second. Me posting about Romney is not allowed if I also posted years ago some stuff against Obama?

You call that dishonest?

I have ripped Obama, McCain, Fallin, WalMart, shadows, and the state of Texas on this forum. I readily admit it.

Stuff that cherry in your exit.

You see. Everyone likes that word, so I guess it will have to be edited.

You are "allowed" to do whatever you want. But it's nice to know that calling Obama a liar and campaign cheater and perhaps unAmerican is just "some stuff" in your book. So I guess prep school bullying is "some stuff" as well?

I am not trying to call you dishonest, you are just not being honest with your criticisms. 

[RecycleMichael]

What is being dishonest?

Do you know what that word means?

Nevermind.

If that were true, lobbying would have gone down in the 90s. There are always special favors to be asked for, pet projects to be funded, defense projects to push for, and so on. The irony is that it's nearly as bad in many or most of our states, but it hardly gets reported on. The answer, of course, is getting rid of first past the post voting and eliminating gerrymandering by using something like the shortest splitline algorithm to draw districts. The increased (average) competitiveness of the districts combined with the removal of the barriers to third and fourth party representatives should lead to voters having more influence.

If we increased the size of the house to a few thousand representatives (perish the thought..maybe we could build some dormitories and cut their gold plated salary to help pay for it) it would make it harder for donors to spread around enough cash to have a big influence other than through advertising. And we'd be a lot closer to levels of representation our founders were comfortable with. If we were lucky, it would also make it even louder and more raucus, so it would be both more entertaining and less likely to pass laws for the hell of it.

So now our choice for president has been reduced to:

A) Wealthy prep school bully who belongs to a secretive cult, and wears magic underwear.

B) High school pothead/drunk/cokehead who went to class as little as possible (by his own account mind you) and has been on the government dole for much of his adult life.  He even lives in public housing now.

Man, what a choice.

That's about the size of it. Fortunately, the dog eating/dog roofing is a wash.

the dog eating/dog roofing is a wash.

There's just no comparison between sampling a cultural delicacy, and the sheer callousness and incompetence of treating a family pet like a piece of luggage.   Even his gay-bashing was more compassionate than how he treated his dog.

[RecycleMichael]

patric...they don't get it. Their political blinders keep them from seeing what a creep Romney is.

I agree with you. Mistreating the family pet is a terrible thing. Abusing this classmate is a terrible thing.

There is something wrong with Romney.

I would guess that most people who grew up in the 1960s and 1970s tried drugs. Bill Clinton and George Bush also tried drugs. I would bet that Romney and most of the other candidates for president this year also experimented with drugs. Obama said he quit using them before he turned 20. Why is this an issue for you?

He has had a successful career as a public servant. His career is no different than your congressmen John Sullivan, your governor Mary Fallin or your senator Jim Inhofe. Getting elected and moving up to higher and higher office is the most common way to become any of those important jobs.

If you can't vote for anybody that tried drugs as a teenager or has held public office before, you are going to be stuck with candidates like Donald Trump. Is that what you really want?

"You're just going to ignore a man in a wheelchair?" Romney: "WELL, I SPOKE WITH HIM"


Ron Paul would've been a better candidate....

Shall we move the Romney high school incident from a privileged boarding school to an inner city public high school. Then let's pretend Mitt and his gang were black teenagers. Wouldn't they have been charged with gang assault? Romney committed a felony and got away with it.

RMoney is obviously pure evil. Obama is a much better person in every way. I urge everyone to vote for him.
