To see what he would do as President, look at what he has said and done in the past...

(This is NOT a pro-Romney site. This site looks at Romney's flip-flops on issue after issue.)


Example: Romney On Health Care Reform:

Sort of like trusting Charlie Brown to kick a field gol when Lucy's holding the ball.

The only difference is after you've fallen on your behind, Lucy wouldn't hold you down and cut off your hair.

In a word NO. But then again I don't trust politicians in general.

I don't trust nobody! They are all in it for themselves.

Life is carnival..believe it or not
Life is a carnival..two bits a shot

Any way i was thinking of an advert tis ment I heard. It was Mitt and he was carrying on about the importance of a free market economy. Blah blah blah Free Market this....blah blah blah Free Market that! Then at the end the take home is ..."we are going to cut tax breaks on the development of wind energy.. if that is the way to go it will have to survive in a free market"

I think I heard somebody say before "you gotta lot of gall to tell me..."
I mean:
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

The Oil and Nuclear Industries were not developed with taxpayer money? Really?

Hell, we fought wars to maintain the Oil-based economy we all love so!

That is a major Republican flaw, they are a bunch of f'n hippocrites.

REPUBLICAN'S LISTEN UP....YOU ARE A BUNCH OF SOCIALISTS...AMERICA IS NOW AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A SOCIALIST COUNTRY

IT IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A MERCANTILE CAPITALIST COUNTRY

STOP BASHING SOCIALISM AND ACTING ALL FREE MARKET UNTIL YOU CLEAN UP THE SKELETONS IN YOUR OWN DAMN CLOSET!

It was an off the cuff remark to other rich people for crying out loud. When he talks to the middle class (you know the 200-250k/year crowd) he will be more scripted!

Thanks for the link Mikey.

Now Romney is trying to distract attention away from his secretly taped remarks by attacking words Obama was recorded saying in 1998 at a speech at Loyola University, where he talked about wealth redistribution.

This is from an article by Emily Friedman of ABC OTUS News:

"I think the trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution, because I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level, to make sure everybody's got a shot," Obama said at the time.

The audio file was posted on the conservative website The Drudge Report, which is run by Matt Drudge, a close friend of Romney campaign manager Matt Rhoades, under the headline "Revealed."

Romney used the audio to try and paint Obama as someone who supports the government taking "from some" to "give to the others," dubbing it an "entirely foreign concept."

"the government taking 'from some' to 'give to the others,' dubbing it an 'entirely foreign concept.' "

"Foreign concept?" Seems like the bible quotes Jesus saying stuff like that all the time!!!

You need to cool your jets hot rod!

We all know the American Dream is to amass more wealth than the the other people in your community!
We all know that Jesus is an American!

Ergo, Jesus is opposed to the redistribution of wealth!

It is simple logic...get with the program dude!

i catch bits and pieces in the media, but it is nice to come here for the weeks politics in review.
...something i heard from rick santorum recently, along the lines, "the elite, smart people will never support us (the GOP)"

what does that mean i wonder?
