I have been a Romney guy since his run in 2008. I know many of you see him as an out of touch robot that speaks in canned statements, (which he does), but can you really blame the guy. All it takes is one slip and his GOP rivals and the MSM will attack. So of course many of his responses seem well rehearsed and bullet point lines. But let’s look at a few things that the other candidates do or don’t do that compares to Romney.
1. How can you run for POTUS and not be on the ballots in your home state as Santorum and Gengrich have allowed to happen. Who would you rather have as President, an organized man and a campaign that does its job, or someone who is not organized enough to allow your name not to be on the ballot in any state? What does that say about how they would run the country?
2. Would you want a President that at any moment could say or do something that would embarrass the United States, or someone who makes sure of what he says and has researched whatever topic may be brought up? I am not talking about political correctness, I mean stuff like stating a speech by JFK wanted to make him “throw up”, or building a space camp on the moon….ya know whadda I mean?
3. How about morals and integrity? Romney has been vetted, twice, and nothing has come up that would lead anyone to question his morals or integrity, I guess you could say the same thing about Santorum, other than his voting record. Newt’s infidelities have been well documented and there is no need for discussion here. But his time in D.C. has been filled with character issues and un-ethical behavior. What more could come up?
4. This is the biggie. Do you want the same old Washington hustle that Newt, Rick, and Ron represent, or do you want a savvy business man who knows how to fix a spreadsheet that the others can’t even read?
Maybe this will help:
When your daughter is lost in Manhattan, overdosed on ecstasy, where do you turn? While the NYPD and other run-of-the-mill solutions are probably a safe first choice, I suggest another option – Mitt Romney. Sure, Mitt Romney doesn’t wield an M9 or wear a sleek uniform, as far as I know, but he has proven himself again and again at handling crisis situations. Perhaps by the end of this column, you’ll be nominating him to handle our country’s current crisis situation.
According to NewsMax Magazine, a bastion of respected journalism, Romney handled such a crisis in 1996 when the 14-year-old daughter of his business partner went missing in New York City. Romney sprang into action assembling a crack team of more than 20 of his employees and friends from Bain Capital, his multibillion dollar venture firm, to find the girl. While the girl was perhaps saved only hours from death thanks to Romney’s quick thinking and vast resources, what’s more impressive is that this story is a concentrated example of the types of wonders that Romney has been working throughout his life.
He may not be the media darling that Obama is, but Romney leads with a type of modest confidence that has been lacking from the White House for many years.
Romney’s efforts in the campaign could be fruitful for America. Even if he isn’t the perfect choice for conservatives or isn’t progressive enough for moderates, for Republicans, Romney brings with him the cure to Obama – practical experience.

Nobody can say that Obama does not pay back his peeps, It seems every time you turn around he is giving friend, fundraiser, or campaign bundler a sweet spot in his administration. Unfortunately shows a lack of basic moral and ethical understanding. See the latest Obambam appointee.
In a scary development, a major Obama fundraiser who defended a convicted al Qaeda terrorist will become the third highest ranking official at the Department of Justice (DOJ), which, ironically, is charged with defending the interests of the United States.
Northern California lawyer Tony West has been named Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division, making him the No. 3 guy at the agency. In 2009 West, who helped Obama raise tens of millions of dollars as finance co-chairman of his first presidential campaign, was appointed to help run the DOJ’s civil division which represents the government, Congress and presidential cabinet officers and handles cases dealing with significant policy issues.
In a statement announcing the promotion this week, Attorney General Eric Holder says West has served the department with “professionalism, integrity and dedication.” Holder also mentions West’s work before coming to the DOJ a few years ago, including a stint as a Special Assistant Attorney General in California and a lengthier career at a large San Francisco law firm.
Conveniently omitted in the press release is that West represented convicted al Qaeda terrorist John Walker Lindh, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence. Lindh was captured in Afghanistan in 2001 while fighting against the U.S.-backed Northern Alliance as a member of the Taliban army. He actually pleaded guilty to aiding the Taliban and carrying explosives while fighting U.S. troops in the region.
Holder also knows a thing or two about defending terrorists. After all, he was a senior partner in a prestigious Washington D.C. law firm (Covington & Burling) that represented more than a dozen Yemeni terrorists held at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay Cuba. While Holder was a senior partner the firm employed a number of radical attorneys to provide the Islamic extremists with thousands of hours of free legal representation, according to a news report.
Another highlight in Holder’s resume is that he orchestrated Bill Clinton’s shameful last-minute pardons, including that of a fugitive financier and a pair of jailed domestic terrorists. In fact, shortly after the pardon scandal, Holder predicted that his public career was over. Under his leadership the DOJ has been embroiled in a number of high-profile scandals, including a gun-running operation (Fast and Furious) in which weapons were sold to Mexican drug cartels. One was later used to murder a federal agent. Judicial Watch has sued the DOJ to obtain records involving the operation.
This is beyond comprehension. They cry for arms and assistance from the West to topple the regime of Muammar Gaddafi, and the “Arab Spring” was exactly what I assumed it would be.
A bunch of animals taking over for a bunch of animals that were better organized and financed. With our help and the global community…Lybian rebels defeated Gaddafi. And what was the end game for all of the support to help the “revolution”?
See below….fucking animals.
More than 1,000 soldiers and airmen who lost their lives in the desert wars of Montgomery and Rommel are buried at the site in Eastern Libya.
Many were members of the famed 7th Armoured Division, known as the Desert Rats, who played a crucial role in the see-saw battle for control of Libya and Egypt between 1941 and 1943.
Graves of RAF pilots were among those shattered by the thugs. It was their job to fly bombing raids – just as the RAF did last year – to assist Lieutenant General Montgomery’s Eighth Army and support commandos clearing routes for tanks.
Sickeningly, the attack, which was carried out over two days last week and appeared highly organised, was filmed by one of the men involved and posted on the internet.
As they rampage among the graves, members of the mob are heard to repeatedly say of the dead servicemen: ‘They are dogs, they are dogs.’
The violence was thought to be retaliation, in part, for the burning of the Koran by US soldiers in Afghanistan last month.
Footage shows the mob methodically kicking down grave after grave. Some are then smashed with hammers. ‘Destroy that cross, they are dogs,’ cries one hooded rebel.
Another voice is heard saying: ‘We begin with this one then we’ll take care of that other one. We won’t leave any left.’
A few seconds later another extremist says: ‘This tomb has a cross on it – a disbeliever.’
As they discover a Jewish grave bearing the Star of David, one of the men says: ‘Look at what it says on it. There is even Israeli writing . . . in Hebrew.’
And in one of the most disturbing sequences, one protester attached a ladder to the Cross of Remembrance next to the cemetery. He climbs up it and begins hacking at the memorial with a hammer. Then he shouts: ‘Watch out young people. It’s going to fall.’ The cross is then smashed off.
Sacrifice: Some 1,214 graves are marked in Benghazi War CemeteryRelatives of those buried at the cemetery, which is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, last night reacted with disgust. The desecration was also condemned by Montgomery’s grandson Henry Montgomery, who called it ‘very sad’As far as I am concerned, get every nation out, NO MORE AIDE, and let the animals battle it out. In twenty years, we will see what has become of them.
PS: Send whomever claims allegiance too Allah back to their homeland. See them in twenty years and see how far their respective nations have evolved.
I am not going to spend a large amount of time and energy on this because I think the whole contraceptive thing was designed by Democraps to keep the GOP focusing on the issue instead of concentrating on Obama’s record. The longer the story is out there, the more the liberal media is going to bait the GOP rivals, thus wasting time on an issue that should be a non-starter.
My own opinion on the matter is women can get contraceptives anywhere and inexpensively and they don’t need funding from anybody but themselves, but I digress, the media led everyone to believe that Sandra Fluke was a 23-year-old law student at Georgetown.
Well, we have been played, and quite masterfully I might add. This is what the Democrats do and the leftwing media eats it up.
This 31-year-old has been a feminist democratic agitator for years. Note the “societies” she belonged to. My Friends you have been played. How did that feel?
And guess who gets caught in the web of deceit, none other than Rush Limbaugh, forced to put his tail between his legs and apologize for calling Ms. Fluke a “slut” because he is losing sponsors.
Well let’s check out the score so far: Liberals 1 Conservatives 0
I Hope I am not overstepping the bounds of what this is supposed to represent. But I wanted to get the word out of what BigFurHat is doing at I Own The World. A great idea to honor Andrew Breitbart. Please go to the site and order a poster, shirt, post it’s, or whatever else they come up with. Truly a noble endeavor.

I saw this on Drudge and I still can’t believe that the left is still speaking about this. The bailout was a deal for the UAW Union period. Romney stated he wanted the industry to go through a normal bankruptcy so the union deals could be shredded and a more workable deal brokered without using taxpayer money. I know it is a long post but is really worth the read.
Obama’s agenda is the union agenda. He said it, I believe it, the GM and Chrysler deals prove it.
Few are mentioning the theft of assets from the original creditors, the union pension bailout at taxpayer expense or the billions in funds Treasury Secretary Geithner now admits will never get repaid. Obama unconstitutionally took over a private company, overturned decades of surety laws, and paid campaign supporters with confiscated stock.
The Wall Street Journal points out that this is not near as good as was anticipated;
“So, today, amid the bally and the hoo, many have lost track of that fact. The offering valued GM at $50 billion, the low end of the hoped-for range. You would never know it, based on everything you read and hear. Once underwriters saw where demand was (not as great as desired), they shifted from talking about implied valuation to emphasizing shares issued, the per-share price and total money raised. The different storyline painted a picture of boffo box office even though the facts, as laid out just a few weeks ago, indicate that this deal really didn’t meet the hopes and expectations of GM or its biggest shareholder, the U.S. Government.”
So even though all the media hype is pushing Obama’s mantra of what a great thing it was to destroy the constitution in taking over the auto industry, the US is still short $14 billion. Obama says “it helped save jobs, rescue an industry at the heart of America’s manufacturing sector and position it to be more competitive in the future.” according to the Washington Post. Geithner said “”We cannot guarantee their success, and at some point they may stumble. But we’ve given them a better shot,”.
An earlier IBD Editorial pointed out the sweetheart deal Obama gave the UAW:
“Given that the wasteful work rules that UAW bosses — wielding government-granted monopoly-bargaining power over employees — insisted on for decades were largely what drove GM into bankruptcy, they certainly didn’t deserve kid-gloves treatment. Yet that’s what they got.
A UAW-controlled auto retiree health care fund was owed $20 billion by GM before the bailout.
Under the White House-dictated terms, UAW-appointed fund managers got back half of what they were owed in cash, whereas taxpayers who were owed $19.4 billion didn’t get a dime back in cash.
Instead, the Obama administration “forgave” this entire loan on taxpayers’ behalf and earmarked an additional $23.5 billion for the company’s trip through bankruptcy. In exchange for the nearly $43 billion funneled to GM, taxpayers acquired a “60.8% equity stake” in GM.”
It should be noted that the UAW is one of the most politically active of all unions. The union gave $2,119.937 to the 2008 campaigns 99% of which went to Obama and the Democrats. They gave another $1,106,500 in this past 2010 election cycle 100% of which went to Democrats. That is a total of $3,226,437 in just the last two election cycles. That does not include the phone banks, neighborhood canvassing and get out the vote efforts. Since 1990 the UAW has donated $26,510,252 of which 99% went to Democrats.
Not a bad return on investment when you consider they received billions back in ownership and benefit funding.
The government is subsidizing purchases of the GM Volt to the tune of $7,500 each. By the way that $7,500 is being supplied by you the taxpayer and is not being considered in the overall loss figures on the GM union payoff scam.
The UAW also spends about a million and a half a year lobbying for important issues like card check, pension bailouts and the Buy America Act. So in reality taxpayer money was used to pay off unions so that they could then campaign for Democrats and lobby for special favors from those same Democrats. This is change alright. An increase in arrogant corruption that is off the Richter scale.
Got it from Boilerdoc
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a
forty ounce malt liquor , a crack pipe and some Air Jordan’s and he votes
Democrat for a lifetime.
