Romney earns respect from this

I am a diehard conservative but NOT a neocon. In my almost 50 years, I have encountered only a few (literally: 3) liberals who earned my respect because they could articulate their beliefs in a cogent, intelligent, erudite manner AND they are based upon FACTS rather than FEELINGS. Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize winner and has done some incredible things in his life. His story is so riveting it drew me in and I listened to the entire 3-hour interview (which I NEVER do). ...

What a bunch of sick people on this Politics section. These children are either still lying where they were slain in their classrooms or being moved to a temporary morgue brought on site as I post this, according to latest State Police update, and people here are fighting and ranting and raving. My state is in mourning. Have some respect. I'm shaking my head in disgust. ...

Kindly respect our No Soliciting sign that is clearly posted as you enter our neighborhood from the main road. (You know who you are.) Thank you very much. A good Christian would not impose on someone's privacy, whether there's a sign posted or not. ...

I'll try not to make this too long, but would love advice. Hubby and brother not very close, but my daughter and BIL's brother are best of friends/cousins. BIL raised daughter himself for years and about 6 months ago met a girl who he moved in and now she raises the daughter while BIL works on the road. BIL likes the fact that the new girl takes full charge and he can kind of just come and go or whatever, work all of the time, not deal with family life, I think. ...

The whole story of the Ensign affair is disgusting enough, but the fact that Tom Coburn helped with the coverup and hasn't been kicked out of office just amazes me. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/12/tom-coburn-john-ensign_n_861287.html ...

G.O.P. vs. Obama: Disrespect or Just Politics? By JENNIFER STEINHAUER WASHINGTON — American presidents often have highly disagreeable relationships with members of Congress from the opposing party. When she was House speaker, Representative Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California verbally tormented President George W. Bush. (Ms. Pelosi’s description of Mr. Bush as “an incompetent leader” comes to mind.) Dick Armey, a Republican former lawmaker from Texas and now a Tea ...

They could have taken a "no-comment' approach to whether or not they would support Trump. That's the approach they've basically taken toward Obama, and I understood and respected it. They could not exercise that sort of class when it came to Trump...and I find the distinction very strange. They could watch Obama destroy the country and say essentially nothing, but when Jeb gets trounced in a primary election, all of a sudden they can't wait to get in front ...

do not respect those of us who did not vote for him. If I am concerned about where the country is headed; is that not my right to feel that way and to talk about it? Do I totally blame Obama for how the economy is now? Heck no .. it has been 20-30 years in the making. It's just that this spending, spending, spending that scares the crap out of me. It's the government now being able to take money out of my accounts without my permission (in the Obama ...

(paraphrasing) he had high hopes that BO would be able to advance the country, take it to the next level as far as race relations, as MLK would have wanted and himself did. Instead, he uses the day to go back to one of his speeches about how "some folks don't like him because he's black." He said there is a lot he could have done but always prefers to set us on a backward course to stir up his base. Once again, you've nailed it, Charles. ...

Ask my age and I'll tell you that I'm old enough to remember an age of relatively peaceful - and even constructive - coexistence among Americans, whether they self-identified as "conservative" or "liberal." I say "relatively peaceful" because I don't mean to imply that people didn't have strong feelings about issues, or that there weren't passionate disagreements. But there wasn't the raw, nasty, unreasoning hatred that I see today. Ask my age, and I'l ...

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) applauds the introduction of Repeal Executive Amnesty Act of 2015, a bill that would not only defund the president's unconstitutional amnesty, but would block further attempts by this or future administrations to rewrite immigration laws through executive memos. After six years of systematically dismantling and undermining immigration enforcement, the Repeal Executive Amnesty Act, introduced by Reps. Robert Aderholt (R-Ala.),&n ...

I know, I know, it's an "old" video (from 2007). It took me a couple of days to find it. When I first saw it in 2007, I was quite impressed with this woman, not even knowing about her health battles. No matter your politics, this woman is a class act. http://www.myspace.com/video/mitt-romney/the-decision/16602414 ...

what Dukakis was to the Democrats in the 80s. Couldn't find anybody better to run and embarrassing to watch. Oh, and they were both Govenors of Massachusetts ...

considered for the vice presidency in 2008 he released 23 years of tax returns to GOP nominee John McCain? Now he wants us only to see 1 year, and maybe 2011 in the fall? What is he hiding? Me thinks he may be hiding very damning and embarrassing info that he does not want us the voting public to know. ...

This is just priceless. ...

My husband and his friends at work discuss politics at lunch, probably not with as little respect for each other as is sometimes shown on this board, but nonetheless that's a topic for another post. Yesterday, a lady who has been one of Obama's most ardent supporters, usually saying she just cannot support Romney because he is rich and cannot identify with her, told them of an incident she had witnessed that morning. She said a young man walked off his job and said ...

when everytime he says something his people have to walk it back? To misspeak is one thing but to tell so many lies he can't remember what his position is from one day to the next is beyond belief. ...

romney and outsourcing to china ...

47%. Blacks, Hispanics, gays, women who want abortions and free birth control, will never vote for him. They continue to want their free stuff. All I can say, is we better get to work, guys, we've got a lot of extra mouths to feed. ...

Remember this? Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne told reporters yesterday that the company plans to build more Jeeps in China. The Detroit News reports: “As part of our global expansion of the Jeep brand, there are some cars — that because of the price position in the market — can never be made in the U.S. and exported,” Marchionne told reporters on the sidelines of the North American International Auto Show. “We’re going to be announcing the first step in the globalization of Je ...

Posted earlier today or last dark time that one of the Romney's daddy or Jr donated an entire fortune to college education. I did not verify the information. But I do think that was an extraordinarily snobby thing to do. I guess he thinks everyone should be remade over in his image. That might not be so bad because he is handsome. Dont be fooled by his slick appearance. He is nice man to his family, but must be a snob. What he did to those people in the companie ...

Is his wife allowed to speak in public? I have never heard her say a word. the second question is will Willard forbid the Mormons from posthumously baptizing Jewish people into Mormon faith when he is president? Seems like that might irk some people in NY, FL and Oklahoma. ...

regarding job creation? I have heard the now debunked "less taxes and less regulations for the wealthy WILL create jobs" myth. Anything else? Do you think he is waiting until he is up against Obama to put forth plans? ...

Media massagers out in full force transforming Mittens into a hero for kicking middle class to the curb and walking off with millions. The fact that a fella born into luxury and spent entire life enriching self at expense of others says it all. When one is born into wealth, there is the luxury of choice - to protect wealth and accumulate more or to improve life for others. Mittens clearly chose the former. He has spent his life in lovely homes specifically located to s ...

Imagining the reaction to her "I know what it means to struggle" remark if Democrats acted like Republicans Ann Romney (Credit: Reuters/Jeff Haynes) Nicely played, GOP. Mitt Romney’s “I know you are, but what am I?” strategy, declaring President Obama the real perpetrator of a “war on women,” got an assist from CNN Democratic analyst Hilary Rosen Wednesday, when she questioned whether Romney should use his wife, Ann, as his expert on women’s issues when ...

48 to 43 is pretty close. In a poll registered voters were asked if election was held today who would you vote for. 48 Romney and 43 for Obama. What this says is it's very close and it still gives me hope that the Romney haters don't outweigh the ones who have a clear mind and will vote based on what is best for the country. So all the haters can spin all they want. Reading so many posts below I had to take what was posted and go research for myself and found out that most of wh ...

Romney earns respect from this

One man's opinion. He is one man, raised in a different time. - Give him a break.

Not the point and I will give him a break - if he resigns and apologizes

I don't see why he should - if he doesn't want to it won't be sincere. - me

Then he gets no breaks. - Period. NM

Give him a break for calling the President - the N word?

He is the Police Commissioner and - should certainly not discriminate.
