Its a damn good thing gas prices has gone down as fast as they have or people would be kicking the severed heads of politicians around like soccer balls.

Gas prices coming down is what is keeping the remaining bit of the economy going.

This is one of those unguarded moments when the Romney hacks reveal what they really think of conservatives.

I read this as an affirmative that you voted for John McCain in the primaries. What a wonderful conservative you make.

Agreed...he is the only conservative out there right now expressing ideas that will get us out of this economic mess and is doing it will expressing conservative ideas...while Palin is pretty and is great on social issues, she isn’t able to express the economic fixes that are needed...

Also, you are ignoring that part of Team Romney spent the entire preElection2008 attacking Gov.Palin and her family.

Do you hate women, too?

Jerk, I have a lot of admiration of Palin. Nothing I ever posted would indicate otherwise. If you choose to name-call at least do some research and base your rant on some resemblance of fact in what I wrote.

I also had the chance to watch Romney here in Massachusetts. I've listened to him a lot on radio stations where he got half a chance to speak his mind about views without distortions from the media. This is a state where conservatives are way outnumbered. He is far from the arch socialist and Antichrist promoted by many so called conservatives.

I don’t think real regular FR’s would act like trolls.

I just don’t think Mitt is a leader. He may be a real good guy; but is not a leader.

I heard him, too, and going back to 1994 when I was there for his Senate campaign. He’s one of the biggest frauds and liars I’ve ever heard or seen, and that includes Bubba, too. It’s no surprise he did nothing but aide and abet the Democrat and Socialist cause, since he never was a Republican.

LOL.

EV is FR's most vigilant supporter of Alan Keyes. Has been for years.

You do realize that selecting a spending project and appropriating money for that project are two different things... right?

You do realize that the power to select spending necessarily obligates appropriated funds for it?

For example DOD selects a tanker project. Congress allocates money for the tanker project.

No, agencies REQUEST funds for projects, run their requests through OMB examiners, negotiate for a share of anticipated appropriations, then take their negotiated proposals for spending to the President for possible inclusion in the President's budget proposal to Congress.

Romney, the Constitution hating socialist, proposed to give the spending selection powers to the agencies, your koolaid drinking spin notwithstanding.

Take a basic civics class.

Romney has never been 100% perfect on everything (who is?), but he has been the only Republican with new supply-side ideas... and the only Republican (except Sarah Palin) with the gonads to fight the liberal machine.

While former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney claims he did everything possible to throttle homosexual marriage in his state

Just wait till he gives federal agencies the power to select to spend taxpayer dollars on projects promoting gay marriage.

Apparently not.

Then he was just lying when he proposed giving agencies the power to select their own spending? Admittedly, Romney's word is worthless.

With his bailout budget mindset combined with with spending to be decided by unelected bureaucrats, Romney is fighting to out-liberal the liberals.
