Q&A: Mitt Romney on How Obama's Doing

After one of the most civil, eloquent, calm, well-thought, honest posts criticizing Romney that I've ever seen on FR, lady lawyer presents a living example of "there are none so blind as those who will not see" by citing it as an example of Ratcheting up the rhetoric ..., a remark so disingenuous and desperately false that it would be funny if not for the possibility that this delusioned liar really is a lawyer representing people in court.

This is same person who accused me of posting anti-Mormon "vitriol" on Mormon threads and then, when she found there are zero such posts authored by me because I don't even read Mormon threads, explained that therefore, either I was posting such vitriol under another name, or wanted to post such vitriol but had "taken care" not to post it.

lady lawyer, you lie even with your screen name. You are NOT a lady. You may be female, but you're no lady.

You present a very worthy reason for rejecting Romney out of hand -- if you represent the base of his support, then Romney must be ruthless, dirty, oily, and twisted indeed.

That is why I rarely create a long or detailed post and instead spout back something sarcastic or such, why waste the time. Either they don’t read the post, don’t have the guts to actually stand up for what they believe or, most likely cannot back up what they are saying and instead of admitting to the agenda, they bury it all in a combination of arrogant rhetoric and hurt feelings.

[lady lawyer]

Every time you open your mouth, you simply prove my point.

[ejonesie22]

LOL...

LL, you certainly have the method down pat.

We thank you for playing your part, you make us look very good by refusing to participate in reasoned discourse.

[lady lawyer]

LOL. You call a string of insults “reasoned discourse”? You couldn’t do a better job of proving my point if I were writing a script for you.

[ejonesie22]

Um, I fail to see any insults in my post. Perhaps you should actually read it this time. I only ask in the search of fairness.

If any reasoned individual were to follow the series from my post forward they would find that either you had not read the initial post or were acting irrationally. I think you should begin again and I will be happy to accept further discourse if you actually answer the queries and other items posted initially.

[Elsie]

Um, I fail to see any insults in my post.

Don't worry about it.

The JURY has SEEN the evidence.

If the lawyer is lousy; they lose their case.

We've alREADY shown the tactics: the horse IS dead - time to move on.

[ejonesie22]

Well I am trying to be fair, and hope springs eternal that they will stop with the coy games and circular rhetoric and Pee Wee Herman “I know you are but what am I” routine and attack the challenges head on with facts and vigor...

LOL. You call a string of insults “reasoned discourse”? You couldn’t do a better job of proving my point if I were writing a script for you.

You know councilor, based upon the personal attacks you've launched to make your case here, you are way behind on the moral high ground while leading in the gutter. Lurkers take note of these things.

[ejonesie22]

Lurkers will have no problem determining who holds the high ground. Sad it is so easy...

[Elsie]

Romney is definitely held to a higher standard which stems from some sort of irrational bias.

OH???

KJV Luke 12:48
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

It would seem to most observers, that given Mitt's BACKGROUND - from one of the most CONSERVATIVE states in the Union, a lifelong immersion in High Family Values, from a lineage of multi-generational MORMONism that included going on mission, and various other Church Offices - HE would have OUT conservatived even Ronnie

redgirlinabluestate: "Romney is definitely held to a higher standard which stems from some sort of irrational bias."

More projection from the RomneyBOT crowd, proving my point.
redgirlinabluestate, what was 'standard' to which Romney held combat medic Lt. Anthony Circosta?

"National Guard Lt. Anthony Circosta poses in his backyard in Agawam, Mass., on June 9, 2007.
At left, his wife Danielle and daughter Kylie, 2, talk near the swing set. Circosta,
a decorated Iraq War veteran, seemed like an ideal candidate for a pardon from
then-Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for the 29-year-old's boyhood conviction
for a BB gun shooting. Romney denied the pardon,
twice, despite the recommendation of the Governor's Council."

Answer from RomneyBOTs: [sound of crickets]

[ejonesie22]

And crickets is all you will her. No sense in dealing with facts when hyperbole and circular rhetoric will do just nicely thank you.

BTW love the tag, it is the defacto motto of my field, IT Security and plus the Watchmen movie is coming...

No sense in dealing with facts when hyperbole and circular rhetoric will do just nicely thank you.

That works for Obama as well as the Mittbots.
