Thank you for the reply. :)
You hit and run on the other thread, accusing me of what you can’t prove, just like your dishonest Romneyite friends have done repeatedly in the last couple of days. Looks like you’re the designated hitter again tonight, eh?
Too bad. Unlike others, I’m not intimidated by lying bullies.
You’re quite welcome.
And he pals around with, guess who, Teddy Kennedy.
Plus, his ACU scores decayed significantly in the later 1990's as he began to think about running for President, about the same time John McCain began to think the same thing and similarly to decline in his year-to-year ACU scores.
Yep.
And it ain’t like ACU scores are tough grades to make or anything.
Time for me to hit the rack. Might not be a bad idea to keep this one bumped tomorrow though. It seems to have exposed a certain raw nerve in certain quarters. ;-)
Well, him and Ken Mehlman, and no doubt some other people.
Where do they find these guys? Harvard yearbooks? But your comment about personnel being policy was a fair hit.
Imagine the outrage if Jesse Helms had staffed up with League of the South members and "former" Klansmen, and just happened to hire a guy who used to work for David Duke or George C. Wallace.
Hell wouldn't hold it.
But we're supposed to ignore the fact that Romney has loaded up with people who've done work for NWO orgs and interest groups.
The idea that a good lobbyist can work for someone he disagrees with and then go on his merry way (the example of Fred Thompson was tossed out, working for a pro-choice NGO) sounds good on paper, but when you're dealing with international entities, then you're also dealing with the reality that international fixers may be hiring American lobbyists like Weber who've been in public life as a wager on future access and influence, if that lobbyist ever returns to public office.
Those guys don't want advice, they want access. They want to secure outcomes. That's why I'm generally unhappy with the idea of lobbyists moving in and out of public jobs.
Complication: Someone was making the case the other day in a PBS essay, that lobbyists actually have more vig than Members of the Congress, and that the apex of the vig scramble and a congressional career isn't the Speakership or a cabinet job but status and tenure as a big "fixer" lobbyist. Something to think about. Not a throwaway thought.
Huh? So are you agreeing with me or taking a different tact?
Oh, agreeing with you, quite naturally!!
Wow, you post a pic of a bunch of homosexuals to make your point. I am glad a bunch of homos think Mitt is a flip flopper.
What will you do without freedom idiot? Joining FR a little late aren’t you for being such a warrior? Go back to DU
Except for Hunter, they’re all CFR goons.
So are the dems. The NAU is on the way, no matter who you vote for.
Interesting article. Thanks for posting.
Glad I could help you get that off your chest.
No. What's your point?
He flipped on abortion, coming to our side, so these kooks should be ok with that...
I wonder what these conservative purists would have had to say about Ronald Reagan, who dumped his first wife and married Nancy after knocking her up, whose children were a mess, and who befriended and employed legions of homosexuals as Governor and as President.
Isn’t the point of our better structure of communications to be able as ordinary folks to know about all of these connections and keep an eye on them? Why not post all information about all such connections for all candidates, just so we know who’s maneuvering about what? Almost all ex-members of Congress become involved in lobbying and it is common for firms to have both Dems and Republicans but what’s new is that we can keep an eye on it, so why not do so? The leadership we need to get independent in energy, for example, which we have yet to see, would definitely unplug Chavez, so if Governor Romney exhibits that leadership we will know that this connection is not doing us harm and if another candidate exhibits that leadership we will know that he is not being had. It would be nice if we saw some of that leadership before the election. We certainlly haven’t heard much but conventional wisdom from “expert” advisors so far from any candidate. Romney has been particularly notable for his absolute such conventional wisdom to date, even making the politically conventional mention of that strategically blind boondoggle, ethanol.
[Another guilt by association article. No evidence that Romney is involved in any way with the clients of his volunteer advisor. This is another non-story by the mormon-hating EternalVigilance.]
I didn’t see a single mention of the word Mormon in the article. I have been pushed polled by Mormons for Romney here in Nevada. Apparently, anyo who is against Mitt is a bigot, but any Mormon pro-Romney on the basis of his being Mormon, is not. AND Mitt gets a perpetual free pass on every issue because he gets to play the victim card.
Think of the mess if Mitt gets the nomination.
