The Real Mitt Romney
Enjoy watching this lying, flip-flopping gas bag run his mouth. And think of the 180 degree "pivot". Politics? You bet.

Outside the 4 walls of his home, I'm not sure there is a real Mitt Romney.
However, I have it on good authority that he likes lakes, trees and cars. |

It's one thing to have voted for Obama back in 2008 without having seen the real Obama (sounds like an oxymoron), but having now seen the real Obama I'm pretty comfortable giving just about anyone else a shot for the next four years. So say whatever you like about Romney, this election is not about who Romney is or what he's done as most of that is yet to be seen, it's about who Obama is and what he's done. The Obama people know this and that's why they are trying to change the subject all of the time. I don't think it's going to work. This election is pretty simple, Obama's been mediocre at best, a huge failure at worst. Anywhere in between means that it's time to vote for change.
Gee, that sounds familiar doesn't it. Obama the pathetic. |

"Romney successfully led one most liberal states in the union as governor for four years."
Yes, especially what he did with their healthcare. I hear it's very popular. Maybe the same should be done on a natio..........Oh. |

Romney's plan for Massachusetts didn't mandate everyone to buy government health insurance, it provided disincentives for not doing so - like forfeit of one's personal tax exemption for not having insurance among other things. Romney inherited a multi-billion dollar deficit when he took office in Mass and ran surpluses for his last 2 years in office. Given that the state went back to running deficits after he left office, he struck a balance there of raising money through licensing fees (basically equivalent to excise taxes) and cutting state spending to achieve his deficits. His whole time in office the state legislature was (and still is) a large majority Democrat. So he had to deal across the aisle on everything. Even with the state leg overturning a lot of his initiatives, and Romney's only power sometime being the veto, he got a lot done for Mass in his 4 years and handed Patrick a state in much better shape financially than it was in when Romney took office. Romney isn't the conservative dream, but he's what this country needs right now, Obama was never what it needed... he just misrepresented himself as being what the country needed and he's still doing it because he's really got nothing else but more misrepresentation to offer. |

Ha, ha, ha, ha........ What's the difference? Your still punishing someone for not doing as they're told. I'd call that a mandate. |

Not liking what has occurred is one thing (which I still disagree with but this is America) but pretending it was a secret since the Democratic primaries strikes me as ridiculous. |
The right wing noise machine had certainly been fixated on the notion that the health care plan was rammed down people's throats. To the contrary, the plan slowly plodded through the legislative process for nearly a year. Moreover, the bill had so many fingerprints on it by the time it finally became law that that it is silly to suggest that Obama imposed his will on the people. Finally, he campaigned on health care reform, including universal coverage. The People were well aware of that goal when they went to the voting booth. It is beyond me how anyone can claim that Obama engaged in some sort of totalitarian oppression by enacting a central plank of his platform.

No. There is no difference. Whether you "fine" someone for not doing as they are told, or "provide financial disincentive" is same-same. It is still using financial punishment to force someone to act against their will. IT'S THE SAME THING.
Maybe Obama didn't consider himself an expert on health insurance and left it to professionals in the field to draft the legislation? Maybe he figured copying Mitts ideas was good enough since Mitt seems to be such an omniscient being?:p Mitt has a record of advancing social issues when it's politically expedient. Like all politicians do. What are his stance on those issues at the moment? That's what you need to ask. And be quick about it, because it changes daily, depending on whom he's speaking to. He's a world class "flip-flopper". That was the point of this video, and it demonstrates it quite well. You know it's the truth and it burns your ass, doesn't it? Oh, and BTW. If he does win, he will be inheriting a country in better, albeit slighty, shape than that horrendous mess that incompetent Republican left Obama. (And, I'm sure, deep down inside, you know that as well.):rolleyes: |

The newsmedia hasn`t been objective or truthful regarding Obama. Compare him to some other presidents in the way he acts and with what he has actually accomplished. He simply does not measure up and it is a tragedy for the country which apparently had so much hope. For those who aren`t sure about Romney, he is even worth a poker gamble considering what we have going on now. You`ve gotta know when to fold em and Obama`s poker hand has been bluffed as far as it can be. Simply time for some new cards. Nothing personal (although you can bet this desperate campaign will be... and Obama`s probably not going to come out looking like a nice guy). |

Gotta run. I`ll catch up later.

As to the subject of this thread I am curious, is there a "real" Romnney or is he all facade?

I honestly did not see the (assuming propoganda) video. What kind of time do you think I have on my hands? He'll be inheriting an unprecedented deficit, the level of damage to this country which it will cause, is as of yet to be seen... but we can guess. Obama's legacy won't be a good one. |

Grady, is that you?
Uh huh. Just as I thought.
You do nothing. My neighbor is just like that. "The engine of the economy.", he calls himself. He has a boat, that only sees water when it rains.....or he pisses himself in it. He sit's in the boat, with a cooler full of beer and a fishing pole, getting drunk and casting into the street. Twice, I've had to help his wife get his drunken ass into the house. Which isn't easy, 'cuz fat ass must weigh 350lbs now. Must be all of that hard work........:rolleyes: |

Look, I don't care that guys like Grady, (or you), have yourselves set up the way you want. Good for you. It's only when he starts telling me that I have it too good. I had to do my time in school, the military, and put in 30 years of wrench twisting of some sort or another to get on top of my game too. And, if you think it's easy being on your feet, on the concrete, in the 110 degree heat, the dust and grease, the ear splitting noise for 12 hours.................. I'm just sayin' |
