Thompson Accuses Romney Of Trying To "Buy South Carolina"

CBS News ^

[BarnacleCenturion]

When he says that Mitt is buying South Carolina he also implies that South Carolina voters are offering their votes for sale. That’s probably not a very wise strategy and sounds a little desperate.

I like Fred, but not working very hard in a campaign is a bad habit to get into. It may not work very well in the general election.

[NavVet]

What does “We don’t have need” mean.

[Clara Lou]

Fred should pass some campaign finance laws to stop this sort of thing.
Golly-- can Presidents do that? I thought that was Congress's department.

[Petronski]

Oooh oooh! That’s a great tagline.

[Petronski]

Why is it you anti-Freds think that movies are all Fred has done? Are you not aware of anything else but the acting? Are you that limited in your thinking and research?

None of those. It's just the Romney Sleaze Machine churning out lies again.

[Owen]

The bad news is, candidates who think they are in trouble attack.

[skeeter]

He said he's trying to buy SC. Big difference.

[Pistolshot]

Who says he is not working hard? Because he is not in front of a camera every single minute of every single day?

Have you noticed his blog has an entry almost every day? He responds through the internet at an enormous rate.

Because he is not holding your hand and stroking your ego( or whatever else needs attention) constantly doesn't mean he isn't working hard.

[Petronski]

When he says that Mitt is buying South Carolina...

It will be a new statement. Of course he hasn't said that yet.

[Pistolshot]

I thought Congress makes the law, not the President. Fail in Civics did you?

[donnab]

He forgot New Hampshire and Iowa.

“When he says that Mitt is buying South Carolina he also implies that South Carolina voters are offering their votes for sale. That’s probably not a very wise strategy and sounds a little desperate.”

Maybe you should continue reading to see what he said...

“Governor, you can’t buy South Carolina. You can’t even rent it.”

Brushes off hands ..there thinks that fixed it.

[Tailgunner Joe]

A bill passes into law when the President signs it. Hell the President can even issue executive orders without the congress at all. What Fred should do when he gets elected is issue an executive order banning all the filthy dirty running-dog capitalist money out of politics and we can just have the government fund elections itself. That should keep durn greedy rich folk from stealing elections like Bush done in Florida.

[Tailgunner Joe]

I guess you also never knew that a bill passes into law when the President signs it. Why exactly are you Confrederates so ignorant?

[Pistolshot]

Pssst.....the President doesn’t write the bills. Better get out a 4th grade Civics book. It doesn’t have pictures, but the writing is at your level.

[Clara Lou]

Too late— now you have to play the old cya game.

[Tailgunner Joe]

The President can write executive orders and pass them into law without congress. Ain’t you never heard of them executive orders?

[Clara Lou]

Fred should pass some campaign finance laws
Then why did you say "pass" in your original post?

[Tailgunner Joe]

You’re the one who needs to cover for your “federalist” candidate's support for federal laws restricting financing of state elections for President. And before you give me another civics lesson, yes each state elects the President separately. It’s called the electoral college. Turns out Fred is only federalist when it comes to abortion, gay marriage, and euthanasia.
