"The world is getting warmer": Romney
Reuters ^ | Fri Jun 3, 2011 | Ros Krasny

(Reuters) - Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney broke with Republican orthodoxy on Friday by saying he believes that humans are responsible, at least to some extent, for climate change.

"I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that," he told a crowd of about 200 at a town hall meeting in Manchester, New Hampshire.

"It's important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may be significant contributors."

Dumn SOB.
Guess now I have to believe all the BS mormon garbage, false prophets(profits), scientology and alien worship.
This is such a great country.
How do we breed such incredible political misfits?
This is the best we can muster?
God help us.

I thought this happened today.

He actually said this in June of last year. Another position he’s likely not going to apologize for, I would think.

Unless he falls on his needs and begs forgiveness for Masscare, I CAN’T vote for him.

I’d rather Obama simply wreck the country and we start over as a couple of smaller ones with polarized ideologies. Florida has an Atlantic port. We don’t need the Pacific coast. It’s time. The left wants to go ‘back to the future’, a socialist state with very strong central powers, a planned economy, and arbitrated individual liberties. Let them have it. I’m not going to vote for the ‘lite’ version of it with Romney.

If I have to ‘justify’ my choice of having a gun, for example, then I really don’t have a right to own a gun. If I need a permit to speak, then I don’t have a right to speak. If the military can be used against its own citizens, then Posse Comitatus is dead. If you don’t need a warrant to bug or search my computer, then I don’t have a right to be secure in persons or papers.

Let somebody else live in that country. Let them have their dictator too. Conservatives should keep their hands clean of that particular brand of bloodshed.

I am sure Nancy will get right on that. Just as soon as she finishes with her coaching of Sandra Fluke.....

That’s all fluked up. Thirty years old and she wants us to pay for condoms? I thought the guy was supposed to take care of that.

Sure he doesn't.

Kind of like when he said at CPAC this year:

"I've always been Pro-Life"

Or how about when he said, also at CPAC:

"I was a severely conservative Governor of Massachusetts".

This coming from the man, who while governor of MA, supported/did the following:

1. Supported wholeheartedly Abortion.
2. Supported Gay Adoption
3. Supported Gay Marriage
4. Supported Global Warming
5. Supported TARP
6. Implemented an Assault Weapons Ban
7. Supported the Brady Bill
8. Implemented the Socialistic Healthcare system called RomneyCare.

What was your point again?

There really was no point. I guess some pinheads really do need the (sarc) tag.

I know this has been said before, but really, it bears repeating.

If you REALLY do not want to get pregnant, KEEP YOUR LEGS TOGETHER!

Don’t go asking society to pay for your loose sexual morals. Don’t give me that whole, “sexual liberation/freedom” BS either.

Students on government funded grants, loans, scholarships etc. have no right to expect anything other than to perform ACADEMICALLY, not sexually. In other words, you are there to learn, not to get laid.

If you need medication which falls into the realm of hormone therapy, that is NOT contraception even it the means used is the “birth control pill”.

This whole DEMAND for the government to provide birth control is literally GOVERNMENT POPULATION CONTROL. Anyone else got a problem with that? I have to admit I have a BIG damn problem with it. It sounds like the damned bloody Nazi’s of the 1930’s!!!

Yes, democrats, I said NAZI’S.
