Mitt better hurry up and get both his messages across for his platforms then.

;D

I like what you did there.

QuoteHis father, in the 1968 campaign, released 12 years.

Yeah, but George wasn't a vulture capitalist.

How many years did Clinton, Nixon, Ford, Carter, the Bushes, Dole, Mondale, or Reagan release?

don't know how many prior during their candidacy they released, or if they were even asked to do so.  If that's the case, then George Romney releasing 12 years previous was certainly unprecedented.  But our current CIC released as far back as 2000.  Why does Romney feel the need to hold his to 2011, or even 2010?

So prior to 2008, candidates who won didn't provide their tax returns prior to entering office, other than FDR?

Either that or the site doesn't answer my original question.

Or, as I stated earlier, maybe we didn't ask as much of previous candidates.

This fall we will get to choose among several messages:
One bad one from Obama
Several good ones from Mitt

;D

Or several bad ones from all candidates.

Looking more like two options for me.

Don't vote.
Vote for the lesser of the two evils (or go with the evil you know, vs the one you don't know).

Sad we don't have a viable third party in this country.

I guess you must be younger than I thought - it has always been voting for the lessor of two evils....

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

This thread serves as the weakest defense of an inept candidate (Romney) by their followers that I have ever seen. Candidates make mistakes. That's a given. Some you laugh off, some you explain, some you shamelessly ignore. But his mistakes are being defended as though they show some kind of character improvement over time.  

Any one chapter of a candidate's life is not enough to pass judgement, but what is emerging is a profile of a guy that, unlike Bush II, you wouldn't want to have a beer with. Boehner's remarks last week say it all. The republicans have no love for this candidate but if he gets rid of Obama, then he's our guy. IOW, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I don't blame you guys for just making a gut decision that Obama just isn't your kind of guy. But defending Romney for mistakes in judgement and character that were similarly exploited in past campaigns against Democrats is hard to defend.

Yeah the no drinky thing makes me question his character.  What kind of weirdos don't enjoy a nice micro-brew?

I wasn't.  I was making fun of the teetotalers.  They ARE fair game.

Can you imagine waking up in the morning and thinking "this is as good as it's going to get today?"  ;)
