Remind me again what the difference would be between a Romney and Obama administration.

'Osborne, a Ph.D candidate'

I terminated my reading right there.

"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

--H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920

Sir hate to tell you this but YOU are a democrat.

[Snickering Hound]

"Yes, it's nice you're working on that Ph'D and your opinions are fascinating, ummm, not so much milk in my latte next time."

[Salamander]

“Moderates”:

I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would that you were cold or hot.

So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Some famous Dude said that, once.

[WaterWeWaitinFor]

Man........... where does one begin. haa. Seal the deal - is that what you want? He can't do it. You knuckleheads who are PHD’s and full of yourselves, just wait until you start getting a paycheck and stop spending 100% time in the radical arena of - cough, cough - higher learning.

Mittens surrounds himself with nasty people - hence you didn't learn anything about how he sabotaged Sarah Palin and then entire McCain campaign last gorounnd? Well - school learned folks - read up on what happened there. Those of us who work hard, pay taxes for a living don't want Mitten's Romney/Obamacare. You can slice him and dice him - he's the same as ozippy! Is that what you really want? Do you own any piece of clothing displaying a peace symbol from the 60's? haa. just checking.

[GeronL]

Moderate these days means liberal

Heck these days, moderate means socialist

[Sarah Barracuda]

These “supporters” of Romney sound like Obama supporters. Close your eyes and have someone read to you what these people have said and you’d swear your on the daily kos web site, scary isn’t it..that we have these “people” in our party

[rockrr]

I’m so glad that the GOP-e in the guise of Derek feeeeeel that they have this all locked up with mittens. I’m sure that they won’t miss lil ol me a bit.

[PapaNew]

Heroes of the 1700's: Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Adams, Patrick Henry, Benjamin Franklin, all the signers of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S.Constitution - yup, all fit the 2012 category of "nutjobs".

On the other hand, sympathizers of the Crown fit the 2012 category of "moderates".

[prisoner6]

Wrong Coppins, Osborne and those of their ilk.

The Tea Party is so 1773.

[berdie]

“Mr. Nice Guy taking the high road”

Really, dude, really???

[RIghtwardHo]

Not one d*** thing.

[rawcatslyentist]

That’s funny, I see DNC candidate #2.

[tcrlaf]

“Against The “Nutjobs””

He that controls the language, controls the masses-Saul Alinsky

[FerociousRabbit]

The Nutjob Tea Party
No deficit spending. Lower taxes. Limited, constitutional government. Individual freedom. Individual responsibility.

“Moderates”
Massive deficit spending. Higher taxes. Ever expanding government. Regulating individuals. Dependency on government from cradle to grave.

Who are the nutjobs again?

[syriacus]

Romney would make a great running mate for Obama.
They're both such suave liars who have big plans for us.
Too bad Mitt's ego won't allow him to be #2.

[firebrand]

Please don’t say things like this. You may detest Romney but he is not Obama. He may be a different kind of evil that we don’t know about yet, but from what we know now, the difference is humongous.

[firebrand]

Santorum is not truly tea party. This guy is setting him up as a sort of straw man tea party candidate. Why don’t they argue aganst the stated principles of the tea party, instead of Santorum’s choir boy nonsense that will turn off 3/4 of the voters?

[SumProVita]

“...anti-intellectual fervor...”?????

My guess is that this *doctoral student* couldn’t pass a high school civics test ...or the naturalization exam given to legal immigrants for citizenship.

[WorkingClassFilth]

The real battle will come in 2016. By then, there will be no more room for nuance or tempered and moderate perspective. Candidates will not be on searches for their “core values.” The men, or women, suitable for the Presidency will already be vetted by actions. On the opposite side, the mask will be off and the communists will be throwing red meat to their rabble. In turn, they’ll be rioting.
