I’m convinced that Obama was a dope addict and Romney is a liar.

Two more reasons that neither liberal will get my vote.


So in other words, you’re voting for Obama.

There was a black Congress Critter who was having sex with young girls. Famous case but I can’t remember his name. Anyone remember?

Let's see: NPR, LA Times, NY Times, CBS, Reuters, MSNBC, The Washington Post, etc.

As I said on another thread, major media coordinated this with the White House.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/gop-treads-lightly-on-gay-marriage-issue/2012/05/10/gIQAk4LtGU_story.html Very interesting article in the Post ~ tells you who the financial backers are for Romney AND tells you their interests. This is not my imagination ~ it’s real, it’s here, and there you have it. The Post isn’t going to let this go ~ they’ll be beating the party over the head with this until every person who ever voted for a No Gay Marriage amendment in a state just stays home from the election. This is THE CAMPAIGN THEME.

If Romney had any stones, he'd try to force the FEC to investigate the Washington Post for an illegal campaign donation of its entire news operation to Obama 2012.

The MSM probably has a dozen stories like this in the works

Well I guess the Washington (Com)Post is doing Romney a big favor. With this sloppy hit piece that is so easily debunked, they are serving to insulate Romney against further smear campaigns that the Obama campaign are no doubt contemplating for the general campaign.

I think the WP is certainly doing Romney a favor with this piece -- shoring him up against the rumblings of discontent from the conservative base! The last thing they want is conservatives to somehow prevent Romney from being the nominee. Watch for more trying to paint Romney as a social conservative -- which he definitely is NOT!

It's still over three months away from the GOP convention and the mainstream media/Obama campaign have already shot their wad.

No, they're saving their big guns for after Romney's official coronation. OWS will then make a real comeback (I think that last little flutter was shut down by the Dems as jumping the gun) and they'll pull out all their Bain stories as companion pieces. I'm afraid the lapdog networks will also seriously go after Mormonism, in blatant hit pieces thinly disguised as "documentaries to further public knowledge."

But the last thing they want to do is go after Romney before it's official lest they themselves bring about a brokered GOP convention and risk having to face a real conservative!

Free press clause allows the ‘newsies’ to give it away.

"Back in high school, I did some dumb things, and if anybody was hurt by that or offended, obviously I apologize for that," Romney said in a radio interview. "

Whoops, I guess this is the apoligy I heard people talking about.

I guess he really never said that he bullied his class mate and for the record I had my days in school when I was young.

Any time the school bus stopped out front of our house and the driver blew the horn, my mom knew we were in trouble for something LOL.

From Mu's link, Romney declares the he's against gay marriage because marriage has been defined as between a man and a woman "for thousands of years," but Romney added that same-sex couples should have the right to adopt children and start families, adding that the marriage issue was “tender and sensitive.”

In other words, Romeny is completely okay with forcing the rest of us, such as adoption agencies and landlords, to accommodate homosexuals pretending to be married and punishing adoption agencies and landlords if they refuse, but Romney thinks homosexuals shouldn't officially, technically be allowed to get married.

God in heaven, I pray that you give American conservatives and Republicans the courage to follow their better judgment and reject Romney as soundly as they reject Obama.

You got it — you’re spot on. Also, see my post #53. And I feel like an idiot for asking, but ... what is OWS?

Yep! :^/ And thanks!

Hey, at least now I ask. It took me probably three years to figure out what IIRC meant, all because I didn't want anybody to think I was so completely clueless! {^)

Mel Reynolds?

Meanwhile, Senator Sherrod Brown, accused of physical abuse by a former wife, is part of the DNC effort accusing republicans of a ‘war on women’.

Mel reynolds indeed. Thank you. And, by the way, why isn’t Jon Corzine sharing a cell with Bernie Madoff?

BFD. If "the newsies" can get away with "Romney apologizes", then Romney should be able to get away with "illegal campaign donation of news reporting". Have Rush Limbaugh hammer it.

If their BS works for them, it should work for the other side.

I don’t want Rush to hammer it. Mitt appears to have so much sexual baggage he’s going to be a very hard sell.
