Remind me again what the difference would be between a Romney and Obama administration.

'Osborne, a Ph.D candidate'

I terminated my reading right there.

"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

--H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920

Sir hate to tell you this but YOU are a democrat.

[Snickering Hound]

"Yes, it's nice you're working on that Ph'D and your opinions are fascinating, ummm, not so much milk in my latte next time."

[Salamander]

“Moderates”:

I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would that you were cold or hot.

So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Some famous Dude said that, once.

Man........... where does one begin. haa. Seal the deal - is that what you want? He can't do it. You knuckleheads who are PHD’s and full of yourselves, just wait until you start getting a paycheck and stop spending 100% time in the radical arena of - cough, cough - higher learning.

Mittens surrounds himself with nasty people - hence you didn't learn anything about how he sabotaged Sarah Palin and then entire McCain campaign last gorounnd? Well - school learned folks - read up on what happened there. Those of us who work hard, pay taxes for a living don't want Mitten's Romney/Obamacare. You can slice him and dice him - he's the same as ozippy! Is that what you really want? Do you own any piece of clothing displaying a peace symbol from the 60's? haa. just checking.

Moderate these days means liberal

Heck these days, moderate means socialist

[Sarah Barracuda]

These “supporters” of Romney sound like Obama supporters. Close your eyes and have someone read to you what these people have said and you’d swear your on the daily kos web site, scary isn’t it..that we have these “people” in our party

[rockrr]

I’m so glad that the GOP-e in the guise of Derek feeeeeel that they have this all locked up with mittens. I’m sure that they won’t miss lil ol me a bit.

[rockrr]

Now that’s funny ;-)

[Olog-hai]

Funny how everyone that the mainstream media tags “moderate” is really quite far on the left side . . .

[PapaNew]

Heroes of the 1700's: Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Adams, Patrick Henry, Benjamin Franklin, all the signers of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S.Constitution - yup, all fit the 2012 category of "nutjobs".

On the other hand, sympathizers of the Crown fit the 2012 category of "moderates".

[GeronL]

Mittens himself has sais that he wants to moderate the party, he doesn’t want people like us in the GOP. If he became the nominee/President he will be the titular head of that party. He will destroy it from within, I will never cast a vote for the guy.

[prisoner6]

Wrong Coppins, Osborne and those of their ilk.

The Tea Party is so 1773.

[rockrr]

Yea well I know that I can be a hot-head and a hard-ass, and maybe mittens and me wouldn’t make the best of tablemates. But if he thinks he’s gonna get the job done by running off the right-wing he’s seriously deluded.

Win the battle and lose the war - great strategy mitt.

[GeronL]

He is trying to sound conservative, but he doesn’t act very well. He’ll stop acting conservative if he wins or loses.

He won’t beat Obama I think, too many will simply stay home.

[Irenic]

Sir, I hate to say this but you will be responsible for a Viking suicide.

A democrat—the worst insult evah! The humanity!

[rockrr]

I've grown weary of too many shouting at me that somehow I'm obliged I have to vote for him. I don't see that happening. I've never voted for a liberal and don't intend to start now.
