“....most people have done stupid things...”

In all reality, if this is the bar, if this story about Mitt Romney is the line in the sand, for a person to be disqualified to be president, well let’s face it, there’s NOBODY qualified to be president in this country. Sarah Palin and Ron Paul and WHOEVER from the Left included.

At least nobody we’d WANT to be president.

Even the Washington Post’s own lefty blogger, Greg Sargeant said (paraphrasing a quote I read elsewhere today): I just can’t get past the fact that I don’t want to be judged on what I did in High School.

This isn’t even a pro/anti Romney thing, this is a “You have got to be kidding me thing”.

But then again, this is the Washington Post, the paper that destroyed George Allen’s last senate run with one word, repeated endlessly, like a mantra: Maccaca!

So, I guess they figured it was worth a shot.

Coretta was the name of Martin Luther Kind’s wife IIRC. Ayers was using a classic (in his mind) “black” name. More mythology....It’s a very unusual name, never read or heard of it attached to any other human.

Mythology is right, Coretta is based on a Greek name, lol. That seems to be pretty typical - a lot of people named their kids with Greek names for some reason.

I think the timing is to distract from Obama trying to play both sides on gay marriage. They were sitting on this “story”, and it’s a minor story. Who knows what they are saving.

I hung out with a lot of black kids in high school, in the late mid/late 60s. I never knew a Coretta. It stinks of being made up by Ayers.

A very bright FReeper put it this way,

"So let's say you are stranded out in the desert, on the verge of dying of thirst. As you stagger through the hot dry sands, in a desperate attempt to find water, You come across a case of a popular sports drink half buried in a shade of a sand dune.

Frantically, you claw away at the sand until you fully uncover the case of life-saving liquid refreshment.

Grabbing one of the bottles, you rub away the sand and dirt so that you can read the ingredients... "Damn," you mutter to yourself, "High Fructose Corn Syrup! I can't drink that, bad for my health!" So you toss the bottle aside in disgust and continue on your way, eventually dropping dead several miles away.

And so that is how I see this upcoming election. Romney not only is loaded with high fructose corn syrup, he's loaded with red dye #3, trans-fats and all sorts of artificial junk. But the alternative is drinking Kool-Aid served up by Jim Jones and the People's Temple. "

Or Glenn Beck's way....

1. Do you know anyone who has the understanding and gained their understanding of Jesus Christ and defend it, and they got that understanding from someone like Jeremiah Wright? Do you know anyone who is a good Christian that believes there is no salvation unless there’s collective salvation?

2. Do you know somebody who is raised and/or mentored by communists?

3. Do you have friends or acquaintances that are Marxists, Communists, or have been actively engaged in the overthrow of the United States government?

4. Have you ever been at a party celebrating someone who has been accused of domestic terrorism?

5. Do you know anyone or have you ever been to a party and gave a toast to someone who is accused of being a Muslim terrorist?

6. Do you or any of your friends have the belief that terrorism doesn’t really exist? And that by definition jihad is only a holy struggle?

7. How many of you or how many of your friends have hired members of the Muslim Brotherhood to provide security for your business or their business? Or would hire members of the Muslim Brotherhood to go through and put together your security for your town?

8. Do you have any friends that believe the Muslim Brotherhood is largely secular and good?

9. Do you know anybody that thinks NASA’s foremost goal should be Muslim outreach, so you can help them and NASA can help them feel good?

10. Do you know anybody who believes that Occupy Wall Street features the best people in our country right now?

11. Is it even conceivable that anyone you know or associate with would think that killing Osama Bin Laden was a tough decision? With that, you have a single friend who in that case would make sure that we have a “blame someone else” memo ready just in case it went wrong?

12. Do you have anybody in your circle of friends or your circle of influence that believes America and Israel is the biggest obstacle to peace and stability in the world. Do you know anyone who believes the United States constitution needs to be a photo negative to be right with the world today?

13. Would you or anyone you know take a gift given to the United States after 9/11, a bust of Winston Churchill, and try to give it back to the prime minister on your first meeting? And when he says, “No, no, that’s a gift, you can keep it,” would you or anyone in your circle of influence then take that bust, box it up, ship it back yourself and say “We don’t need it anymore”?

14. Do you know anyone, a single person, who has a wife or a husband that has never been proud of the United States of America until something good happened in their life?

15. Do you know anybody who would actively defend allowing a baby to die without treatment in a hospital if an abortion failed? That the baby would be born outside, the doctors would have it, and they would be allowed to put it in a closet and just let it die?

16. Would someone in your life withhold needed money from poor countries or suggest that needed money from poor countries was withheld unless they change the Constitution to be pro-abortion?

17. Do you know anybody who believes the only way out of debt is to spend $5 trillion in three and a half years? Or believes Solyndra and other green businesses were a good bet, and that the people’s hard earned money is something you should gamble with and you think that it should continue?

18. How many people do you know personally that would give a shout out to someone to say, “Hey, I just want to say hi to Bob over there and thank Bob – It’s been a great day, Bob,” before you had to announce to the country that 13 soldiers were murdered by an Islamic extremist on our own soil?

19. Do you know anybody who claims to be a huge Israeli supporter? Do you know anybody who says, “I’m the biggest fan of Israel, they’re our biggest and strongest ally, and I’m a huge supporter. I’m the best thing that has happened.” And that when the prime minister of that country flew from the other side of the globe to have a scheduled dinner with you, you would humiliate him and blow off for dinner? Let him eat alone while you had a quiet dinner someplace else with friends? Do you know anybody who says, “I am the biggest supporter of Israel,” and then visited all of the Muslim countries around Israel but couldn’t find the time to go to Israel? And that as Israel’s biggest, most loyal supporter, believes they should go back to the indefensible ’67 borders? I understand it if you’re not a fan of Israel, but if you’re a fan of Israel, do you know a soul that is a true fan of Israel that says, “Yes, go back to the ’67 borders”?

20. Do you know any committed capitalist who believes in redistribution of wealth?

My first car was a 1977 Pinto. White, with red interior, four on the floor. It kicked and we installed an 8-track player with four speakers.

There was a “Mustang club” that would go to a local park and wax their cars for all to see.

But their was also a Pinto club. Guess who had the louder music?

It’s more like being thirsty in the desert, finding a half buried bottle of Gatorade, opening it up, and finding it’s full of fermented urine.

George Romney left AMC in 1962 to run for Governor. He should have stayed in the car business.

“I think the timing is to distract from Obama trying to play both sides on gay marriage.... Who knows what they are saving.”

It’s pretty clear to most people with 1/2 a brain that Obama’s “evolution” on gay marriage is just bs. We know that either 1. he always favored it and was lying before or even possibly 2. he does not in fact favor it and is lying now or maybe even more likely 3. he doesn’t really care one way or the other but as you say is just playing both sides.

But to his media cheerleaders this is the greatest thing since I don’t know what, Rosa Parks or something.

Maybe they did think there would be “pushback” on the evolution and they put this story out there to distract from that.

As to what other dirt they may have on Romney, I don’t know. They’ve already done the dog story, the swiss bank account story (although they might try again with that), the why haven’t you released every tax return you ever filed story.

I imagine we are going to hear more about Bain Capital and also Mormonism. Although they’ll have to be careful about the latter.

They could also do some “you’re just an overly rich white person” stories, but with the First Golfer and First Lady of Vacations in the WH that might not fly too well either.

What’s important about these stories is not that they come out with them, but how our side fights back.

Allen got destroyed by that Maccaca bs, why he wasn’t able to counter that effectively I don’t know.

They tried the same thing with McDonnel’s thesis, which was a much more substantive issue than Maccaca, but he was able to beat them back on that.

The MSM is the enemy though, that is for sure.

That’s great! I also had a ‘77 Pinto, but mine was such a shade of green that one of my coworkers called it the Lima Bean. I bought it for $200. It was actually a decent running car—only had 56,000 miles on it when I got it. I was willing to deal with the ego hit since I had no money back then.

No, because fermented urine will kill the body.
Only BO is going to kill us.

Okay, fresh urine. Doesn’t kill.

Robomney is pro-homo agenda in every way, wife give $ to Planned Parenthood and used to be pro-abortion, the author of Robomney care, not passionate about gun rights, nominated liberals and Dems judges in MA, thinks he’s going to be a god some day, lies about his record. There’s a couple of charts about his record. The only thing is that his name really is what he says it is and he was born in the US.

He’s the absolute worst R candidate I have ever seen in my entire life. And if they force him on us, he will lose.

We need a REVOLUTION AT THE CONVENTION!

How about any of these?

2. Do you know somebody who is raised and/or mentored by communists?

If the convention puts Mitt in, we have no choice.

Reality Check: Why all RNC delegates are ‘Free Agents’ and unbound

http://www.fox19.com/story/18305604/reality-check-why-all-rnc-delegates-are-free-agents-and-unbound

We need a REVOLUTION AT THE CONVENTION!! Not business as usual. The GOP establishment is as much our enemy as the Dems.

>>The GOP establishment is as much our enemy as the Dems.<<

I agree with you. However, every person who was willing to fight either sided with Romney or is back in her home state being a King maker (not that I blame her)

I’ll fight the good fight until Romney is nominated. Then I throw in the towel. We CAN’T have BO back in. There will be no conservatives or GOP. I pray that we have an America anymore at all.

Well you see, Obama’s record matters, but Romney’s record doesn’t matter. At least that’s the way some Romney supporters act.

Exactly, because Romney has an 'R' next to his name, even though his record declares him to be a pretend Republican.
