Mitt Romney: Raise the minimum wage (Go away Tom Dewey!!)

But remember, he’s “SEVERELY” conservative. _____________________________________________

More like he’s “SEVERELY” abusive to conservatives...

[dfwgator]

How about cutting spending?

[oldbrowser]

If he runs this time he will seem more conciliatory to only some issues so as to woo those voters.
He knows the effects of a raise in minimum wage, but getting elected is the goal.

Unfortunately some of the finer points of political strategery escape a lot of people.

[dfwgator]

So basically you’re saying it’s ok to lie in order to get elected?

Had Romney won, the Gang of 8 amnesty would be law by now.

And good for him, let him enjoy his money with his family. I’m all for it. A lot of people born with the silver spoon continue to go back to it their whole life. Romney made his own money. It beats 0 enjoying our money with Jay-Z. But don’t you dare, Willard, magnanimously pander to the working man when you’ve only read about us in books.

ANY Federal Regulation of Wages is Federal Wage Control.

ANY Federal Law establishing a minimum or maximum of wages is Federal Wage Control.

Federal Wage Control began during World War Two, by edict of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

To put all this in a context that even Obama and his labor-loving Democrats can understand, (but maybe not Socialist Republican Romney), read and then deal with the following:

“FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT IS DEAD, AND WORLD WAR TWO IS OVER!”

Whenever I see Gov. Dewey's name, I think of that scene in The Godfather where Sonny beats the snot out of Carlo. Several Dewey campaign posters are visible.

His 47% statement wasn’t true, and didn’t make sense, it was why his campaign could never explain what “47%” he was talking about or what in the world he meant.

...it looks now like our choices are “voting for the leper with the most fingers remaining” The only problem being is that leprosy is a fatal disease as is big governmentititis and it will kill the Republic.

Excellently well said!

Toy know what this thread needs? It needs the attention of all the ‘staunch conservatives’ that attacked Freepers on FR for not electing this paragon of conservatism.

They need to pop in to tell us what ‘POS’ we are again and how we ‘voted for Obama’ by not voting for Mr. Severe Conservative here. Perhaps a picture of Yosemite Sam on a dragon to definitively show the wisdom of their position and the emptiness of ours.

In the meantime I guess we just add yet ANOTHER bit of evidence to the FACT that this guy is not only not BETTER than Obama, but that he IS Obama. Because I see no difference in their respective positions.
