Why Mitt Romney Is So Dispicable!

We have discussed this at considerable length in this forum. Recall that we conclusively proved it was Republicans who refused to close down those prisons and to bring the detainees to trial in the States:

Yes, I know the forum rules: BLAME OBAMA!
But the reality is that once again it is Republicans who are responsible for that.
You are correct my fine Friend. He made the quote but the record shows that McCain and Romney have flipped flopped more often than he has. But as is usual, the cowardly Democraps are too afraid to point it out.
I must admit that my opinion of Romney the person - not the politician - changed once I found out more about his background. I do believe he is a decent, kind and caring individual, a wonderful friend. None of which suits him better than any other for the White House.
What does suit him for the role is his business acumen. He's a smart cookie and could very well turn the economy around. It is easy to brush aside his success in salvaging the Salt Lake Olympics but it really was an huge accomplishment and it did have far-reaching consequences for future Olympic games. It took a special type of person to be able to work with the many diverse parties involved in the SL Olympics. That Romney pulled it off says much about the man and his ability to work with others to solve problems.
That said, my doubts concerning any 'deals' he has made in order to finance his campaign, the rigidity of the Republican platform, the continuing lies, and the underlying influence of religion on policy make me very leery of what America would look like 4 years down the road under Romney and crew.

The catch is being a business leader and being president are completely different. A business is not a country.
Romney's only foreign policy experience is pissing off the Brits at the Olympics.
Businessmen who became President are Jimmy Carter and GW Bush.

His cult sent him there, a divine mission on behalf of Joseph Smith.
Here's a question for you? Do you have any sort of critical thought or do you truly represent the user comments on the Toronto Sun?
I laughed out loud when Romney made the remark about taking on Putin...........good luck with that I thought.
Running a business and running a country may be entirely different, I grant you, Kreskin............but I would much rather see someone who understands the principles of good finance running than the country then someone who doesn't.
- Yes, qualifications for the job actually do count and also help explain why the most unqualified presidential candidate in modern times, Barack Obama, has done such an unbelievably dreadful job as president. Perhaps this time Americans will take their heads out of their anuses, engage their brains, and vote for the best qualified presidential candidate of modern times, a guy with honours degrees in business and law from Harvard who became a hugely successful business leader rescuing and revitalizing new and troubled companies and later on without pay rescuing an olympics and Taxachussetts.
- Qualifications count and so does character. There were many testimonies on Thursday night at the GOP convention by people who worked with Romney and others who prayed with Romney about what an incredibly kind and compassionate man he really is. The following testimony from an ordinary and now elderly couple whom Mitt barely knew some thirty years ago but nonetheless comforted and befriended the couple's dying son was arguably the most moving one of the night. It makes such a contrast between Romney who went out of his way and spent signifcant amounts of his own time and money for months to help a boy he had just met and Obama who is now a millionaire and lives a presidential life style while his own half brother lives in abject poverty in a slum in Kenya and has to borrow money from a stranger for his son's operation. It also gives the lie to those docterinaire Democrats who portray Romney as a cold, unfeeling, uncaring businessman and Obama as more generous and compassionate than Christ or at least Oprah.

And Harry Truman, George H. W. Bush, Herbert Hoover, Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and a number of the early presidents were farmers and plantation owners which I equate with being in business.
- The most critical factor is executive experience which is rather helpful as the executive running the largest and most complex organization in the country. The second most critical factor is a real understanding of the economy which in a capitalist economy obviously includes an understanding of business and what conditions and policies optimize business growth and success. Obama, of course, has neither executive nor business experience and is useless on both counts.
- The most successful presidents have all had significant executive experience as businessmen and/or governors and/or VPs and/or cabinet members and/or generals before assuming the nation's highest office.
- Romndey, of course, has the most varied and among the most successful executive experience in business, in the olympics and as governor of the 13th largest state.
- Obama, the barely known fraud perpetrated by left wing Democrats and marketers on a gullible nation, has none of these kinds of essential experiences.
- And his record as president shows it.
And those who weren't, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, John Kennedy, Franklin Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt, George Bush 1 ...
Harry Truman is described by some as a business failure.
4 years is hardly enough time to fix all the disasters that junior left behind. Especially when more than half of the elected representitives with a political axe to grind are more interested in smear campaigns than in governing the country.
- taxslave ... Clearly, Obama failed to heed your wise counsel (Warning: Sarcasm Alert!) back in late 2009 when he said that if he couldn't fix the economy and get unemployment down to reasonable levels in the next three years then he would be and would deserve to be a one term president.
- As to your other dumb comment about more than half the representatives being more interested in smear camapigns than in governing, anyone who is actually following this campaign knows who is more interested in smearing than governing and it is not the GOP. Also, Obama enjoyed in his first 2 years what most presidents dod not which was a majority from his party in both chambers which means he could have gotten anything he wanted through congress and into law. Unfortunately, what he wanted was to fritter away the first couple of critical years to revitalize the economy with a polarizing and expensive health care bill and a wasteful stimulus package that created more debt than jobs. This is what happens when the only thing you've ever run before is your mouth and suddenly the looney left makes you the president. It is as funny as Police Academy I but with much higher stakes. As to the GOP not wanting to govern, unlike Obama and Reid and many Demcorats they do want to govern and want an actual budget and also action to deal with a debt that will reach 16 trillion dollars witnhin the next few days.
- Those are the facts, Jack. Now why don't you give your usual fascistic and cowardly response to my posts which is to instantly post BAD after them. I'm done with you for the day.
Bullsh|t. All I ever hear from either side is them snivelling about the other side. Well, that and lotsa lies.

Right- No one in the GOP has ever smeared the Democrats. You actually believe that. They both do smears, insinuation, lies and utter bullshxt - always have and always will.
Isn't it hilarious on both sides when someone badmouths one party or the other. They are pretty well exactly the same thing, trying to win an election to ensure their own continued well being, ensuring access to the trough, fattening up the pension, all the while running the rubber down to the rims!
Yeah - Our side has the Angels and God - those bastxrds over there have the Devil on their side.Those guys are going to bankrupt the poor- Medicare- defence- let criminals run rampant.
Fuk me. Of course this comment can apply to Dems or Repubs.
Good article on the Repubs and their fuked up Foreign Policy.
A Dangerous Mind - By Bruce W. Jentleson and Charles A. Kupchan | Foreign Policy
Contrary to the rebuttal to this article written by our colleague Peter Feaver, there is much good to be said about Obama's foreign policy. In this piece, timed to coincide with the Republican Convention, our focus is on what's wrong with Romney's approach. We'll respond to Feaver's critique of Obama next week as attention turns to the Democratic Convention.
It's not just Romney's positions on particular issues, however vague they may be, that are cause for concern. It's his core world view. Guided by a Republican Party virtually devoid of moderate centrists, Romney has embraced a global assessment distorted by ideological excess, pledged to wield power in a way that will leave the nation weakened and isolated, and demonstrated a failure to appreciate the key linkages between strength at home and influence abroad.
Romney's view of the changing global landscape rests not on a sober assessment of the world that is emerging, but on the same neoconservative myths that led George W. Bush astray. Like Bush, Romney seems to fixate on the wrong threats -- and dangerously inflate them He has, for example, identified Russia as America's chief geopolitical foe. But with the Cold War long over, terrorists still planning attacks against Americans, Iran seeking nuclear weapons, and China flexing its muscles, it is a flight of fancy to see Moscow as the nation's top threat.
On Afghanistan, Romney regularly bashes Obama for his scheduled withdrawal of U.S. troops -- but without providing a clear rationale for extending the U.S. mission. Absent more capable partners in Afghanistan and cooperation from Pakistan, U.S. forces have limited ability to bring stability. To pretend otherwise is to fritter away American lives and resources. American forces have accomplished their main objective -- dismantling al Qaeda and eliminating Osama bin Laden; it is now up to local parties to find their way to peace. Good statecraft aims at the achievable, not impossible maximums.
Except that his business successes were all attributed to government subsidizes - being the perennial flip flop that he is, he now claims to resent such government largesse.

The problem with Mit Romney is he has flat feet from jumping on and off the
controversial band wagons, for against, for against. Then he brings a youth
guy on board as a VP to spice things up. Problem is he too is an bit of a
strange religious dude. Doesn't matter what party as soon as they put on the
Jesus smile and crank up the good book versus I'm gone.
