“Its just a bunch of numbers without context”
You are correct. In regards to the jet, it seats eight. How many peoeple were traveling? Were they going places not served by air carrier? What was their schedule? Was it more productive to fly than to sit in a car or an airline terminal?

I am saying it is WRONG to call Romney a Communist. There is no evidence to support this claim. Do not use hyperbole when the truth will work.
Say anything you want about Obama, I don't care but to use these kinds of false attacks on Republicans is ridiculous and wrong.

Get real. I am saying it is wrong to distort and lie about someone and now I'm being accused of supporting abortionists. This also is another lie and distortion.
Simply tell the truth, that's all I'm saying. There is NO evidence Romney is a Communist and LLS calls him a Communist. Put the onus on LLS to tell the truth.

YEAH... WHAT HE SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"A real Conservative that had the money mitt has, would pay for that jet with his own money and would appear at the plant that made these jets and the vendors that supply the parts to these jets and make the media interview these people about the communists and obama attacking their industry and killing their jobs... yep... a REAL CONSERVATIVE would do that... but mitt is a baby killing communist himself so he will find some way to find a loophole where WE THE PEOPLE pay for the majority of his royal lifestyle."
~LLS
What about the rest of the above post? LLS said much more than that Mitt is a communist.

You are lying about me... what in mitt romney’s governing of his State was not marxist? He created a marxist health care system... he supported abortion... he supported public sector marxist unions... he stated he WAS NEVER PART OF THE REAGAN REVOLUTION... and what I said is true and honest and what you said was nothing but personal slander and attack politics. One prime example is THE BIG DIG... that was marxism marching through tax dollars like Sherman marched through Atlanta.

I could agree with some of it but frankly, I don't care who is paying for Romney to jet around the country as long as I'm not being done at taxpayer expense. Anyone who wants can voluntarily contribute to his campaign. I don't care, it's their money.
I despise Communism but there is NO evidence that Romney is a Communist. If there is, produce it but this is a severe step to call someone a Communist. Heck, call Obama a Commie lover, I don't care because I might agree with that. Call Harkin a Commie lover, that's ok with me but to call Romney a Communist is getting carried away with the truth and only destroys one's own credibility.
To: Conservativegreatgrandma
I have given you a PRIME example... several in fact. Where do you think obamacare came from? If you state that obamacare is not of communist origin... then you have never read marx or lenin... or you cannot comprehend their writings.

and now I'm being accused of supporting abortionists. I accused you of nothing. I underlined what The Owner of this site stated about Romney.

He did tell teh truth. You simply don't know the truth or are denying it.

By your standard almost anyone can be called a Communist. I 100% agree spending and government programs are out of control but it is going too far to call anyone involved in any so-called socialistic program a Communist.
Heck, I personally believe the federal government has NO role in providing SS, medical care or education for ANYONE. NO ONE--period. If I could, I would abolish many departments from the federal government. One only has to look at the fix we are in now and see the roots of these problems exist in federal programs that should never have been started.
However, I will not call all who have been involved in any of these programs Communists. That is a horrible thing to call someone without strong evidence supporting it.

Define Communismclassless political system: the political theory or system in which all property and wealth is owned in a classless society by all the members of that society
Synonyms: collectivism, socialism, communalism, Marxism, Leninism, Trotskyism, Maoism
Communist fits a big government statist like Romney.

I like reading Regan quotes because I can hear his voice as I am reading them. Feels a bit like he is still here.
(I get the same feeling when I read Anne Coulter, but it makes me want to hide around the corner. She’s more woman than I could handle.)
They tell us we must learn to live with less, and teach our children that their lives will be less full and prosperous than ours have been; that the America of the coming years will be a place where because of our past excesses it will be impossible to dream and make those dreams come true. I don't believe that. And, I don't believe you do either.

It has nothing to do with coveting.
Try to pay attention.
If he spends his money(even his campaign money) like this how will he spend ours.
Can you understand that we now have a person in the White House that spends like a drunken sailor, and you believe Romney who is doing the same in his campaign will do anything less?

I am saying it is WRONG to call Romney a Communist. There is no evidence to support this claim. Do not use hyperbole when the truth will work. What EXACTLY do you call socialized medicine with taxpayer-funded abortion and homosexual "marriage"?
Say anything you want about Obama, I don't care but to use these kinds of false attacks on Republicans is ridiculous and wrong.
So, when a Democrat pushes communism we can attack them, but when someone with an "R" after their name does the EXACT SAME THING we are supposed to ignore it?
Do you actually have conservative principles or are you more interested in the letter after a person's name?

I’m no Mitt fan, but why can’t this lvel of scrutiny be applied to Queen Nancy and Emperor O-Croesus?
