If Team Obama had to put up with a tenth of what the run-of-the-mill Republican candidate has to, much less someone like Governor Palin or Dubya, they’d wet their collective pants and run away with their tails between their legs. I’d love to see it, just once, for the comedy value alone.

Romney may be a lying weasel, but he’s our lying weasel! Go Mitt!

"(The GroundZero Mosque) cleared its final hurdle ….
developers plan to build the $100 million center which will include a mosque.
Since its incipient stages in July 2009, when a Muslim-run real-estate development
company purchased the damaged, vacant building and land where the new center
will be built, the project has sparked controversy and debate.
.... the tattered building that was bought by the Muslim real estate company had
been owned by a subsidiary of Bain Capital, a company Romney founded in 1984.

So it's OK if his company can profit off the sale of the land ."


"Bain Capital, has cut checks totaling $90,000 to Romney's operation. "


Ground Zero mosque developers apply for federal grant
The developers behind the proposed Ground Zero mosque have applied
for about $5 million in federal grant money set aside for redeveloping
downtown Manhattan after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks....
run by the Lower Manhattan Redevelopment Corp.

John C. Whitehead, Founding Chairman"

Looks like the media is going with the Bain distraction after all, even after it was shown to be a false charge.

Romney had better remember how Gingrich dealt with this shit. Do NOT play the media pigs' game - use every Bain question as an opportunity to explain to America the old ploy they are using here to take focus off the real issue - the complete failure of Obama as president.

If you can’t lick the cabal of lying weasels, join ‘em?

It truly takes a Barack Obama to make Mitt look like a tolerable candidate.

But Barack does succeed in that.

I just looked at one of these silly “send Barack Obama a birthday card” ads from the Obama/Biden campaign. No Joe in sight. Only Moochelle and, you got to admit, Barack looks more handsome than Moochelle looks beautiful. Almost feel sorry for the guy.

Why, to get anyone here to execrate Mitt enough to cast a protest vote in Nov. (as hounding the GOP to nominate someone like Sarah Palin instead probably won’t work).

Now is the time for all Americans to come to the aid of their country.

Sorry, the reporter did do the 'gotcha' and Romney said "but I still retained an ownership interest"

So, there you have it ~ right out of Mitt's own mouth ~ the very answer the reporter had no idea what to do with.

On the other hand the Right to Life movement has people who DO KNOW what to do with it, and they will.

What we have is Mitt taking a calculated risk that it's better leaving the MSM panting than it is to attempt to any further try to fool the RTL folks.

Did you catch the slip where he said "for the management or ownership - management, rather, of Bain Capital" ~ very important ~ all his denials have been along the lines of "I did not have management relations with that corporation" ~ which is true, but he's never admitted having an "ownership interest" before ~ kind of slipped around that issue in fact.

I'm sure this is all satisfactory for the Democrat rank and file who will now turn around and vote for Romney as they replace the RTL movement, and principled Conservatives who, if they weren't before should now be sufficiently educated in Romney-ism to know they have no seat at this guy's table ~ NOT EVER. He's no longer even pretending to respect the Republican party base.

It looks like Willard is the only available means to kick the kenyan kommie out and its madness to spend so much energy here kicking at his campaign and barking at the moon.

But I guess it takes all kinds.

".......for the management or ownership - management, rather, of Bain Capital........" That's Romney's own words on the matter ~ he was STILL THE OWNER ~ he even said he had an "ownership interest".

Read closely about where he said he could have, but didn't, make decisions.

As an OWNER he is still guilty of the moral, if not financial, positions inherent in the investments.

Your boy is guilty ~ but not of a felony ~ that's a totally phony issue. If you want to be President you've got to have clean hands.
