But also newsworthy is Mitt Romney has hit yet another high and is now above 30%. PRESIDENT – NATIONAL – GOP PRIMARY (Gallup Tracking) This edition of the tracking poll was done January 3-7.

MD- I will only send 1 e-mail and you will be restored to the Christmas card list. I’m stuck with you.
I can’t believe I drove away my only real friend, Jul.
Ex-Times Editorial Page Editor Tony Blankley dead at 63.
Sad news…I always enjoyed listening to his point of view.
He was on Hannity a few weeks ago.

i’m going to listen to rush and levin tomorrow. they will probably accuse the liberal media of publishing fake polls which show romney in the lead.
go mitt!
RIP to Blankley. Didn’t he work for Newt at one time?
my wife just found out about the time romney strapped his dog to the roof of his car and drove 12 hours with the dog on topof the car. she says she will never vote for romney. i told her the dog was in a carrie but she didn’t care.
When Mitt Romney strapped his Irish setter to the roof of his car in 1983 and drove all the way to Canada as the dog defecated in fear, he couldn’t have guessed his decision would follow him for decades, enraging animal lovers and raising questions about his character and management style.
Sure enough the dog incident has gotten a lot of press (Gail Collins has mentioned it 19 times in her columns) and is sure to be a favorite topic among Romney detractors during his 2012 campaign for president.

Come back, Jul. MD is a jerk… Damn. He’s coming back. Shhhhh.
9- that is a shocker. i always enjoyed his work. rip, tony.
WTF? He was in a crate so what is the issue? Should he have fedexed the dog? A made up issue gaining traction only on the left.
Rule – when you have to link to a Huffpo piece it is NOT a real issue.
Rip. Tony blankley a good man
That is awful about Blankely. I will miss his columns and take on things. He had a way with the written word that was very entertaining.
I didnt know that he was a child actor who appeared in Lassie and Make Room for Daddy.
First Hitchens, now Blankley.
brutal.
Susy,
Should the girl be allowed to have the picture in the high school year book ? What do you think ? Wes, what is your opinion ?

Bayern. Tony snowe passed young also
I think having a dog in a carrier on a car roof-top was pretty awful, too – but how big was the carrier, and how big and protected was the roof-top? I suppose the Democrats who would also attack Romney’s character concerning animal treatment would not say boo about LBJ yanking his beagles ears as he hoisted them off the ground, or Clinton’s ignoring his pets completely, tossing them aside as soon as he left office, and having his “Buddy” run loose and get killed by a car.
Tim V. am on my way to the beauty shop….will respond when I get back. Look for the reply.
Blankley died?
Tim V- If a girl with a flat rack, bad bleach job and a face that is maybe a 7 out of 10 wants to look sleazy in the yearbook, why not? She probably has maxed out on her looks at age 18.
George will has become a shill for his abc bosses. Conservative my ass

I’m with you MD. I think my wife is odd. Why couldn’t the dog have riden inside the car ? There must not have been enough room. They could have had a neighbor watch the dog while they were away.

What a win for the G-Men. Total domination on both sides of the football. On to Green Bay.
If that is the best the left can do then we are in really, really good shape.
EML – the season ends there for the Giants.
Well I got the giants score right…
Two points Atlanta?
We’ll see MD. The Giants played GB well during the regular season. I feel like the Giants can go to GB and win like they did during their super bowl run. However, I don’t give them any chance at beating the Saints in NO, so I’ll be hoping for a SF win.
Of course I want the exact opposite eml
Go giants!
If Romney wins all of McCains states and adds Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, that one Nebraska EV, and New Hampshire (but loses Virginia), then it is a 269-269 tie in the EC.
Just thought I’d throw that out there.
The GOP House would ensure Romney’s election, but you have to worry about a faithless elector. But that could go either way, I guess.
RTW will pass in Indiana, perhaps by the end of the week. The Dems are getting hammered in public opinion over their walkout (again) and 5 Dems have already given up and are on the floor. 2 more and there is a quorum. Even teh Dem Minority Leader says the Dems cant stop RTW. In Indiana, polls show that voters are 2-1 in favor of RTW.
I also learned that Indiana passed RTW in 1957, but it was repealed in 1965 after the Dems took over the legislature and the Governors office in the Goldwater debacle.
Now, it is highly unlikely that the Dems will ever win the Indiana Senate chamber in any of our lifetimes…. so repeal of RTW is also highly unlikely.
I gather that the biggest political benefit of RTW is that it deprives the Dem Party and other left wing organizations of badly needed campaign funds from unions, right?
Less union dues receipts……. less money to give to Dems?
That would be lots of money man.
Sad to hear about Tony Blankley. I did not know he had cancer. He was Newt’s top staffer in 1994 and after he became Speaker.
Blankley had a call-in gig to talk radio in Chicago once a week and I believe he was just on this past week.

Denver got royally screwed. Clearly a backwards pass. If they lose its because the refs handed the game to them.
BayernFan, i hope your right. IN adopting RTW would put added pressure on my state of Kentucky to go RTW as well. That way we can actually start attracting more manufacturing jobs and the like, just as Tenn has been doing for the last couple of decades.
Under MFG’s Theory, Go Steelers! The Johnstown Flood killed more people than Katrina.

Everyone healthy and we are cautiously optimistic for tomorrow
Goddamn what a game
That was just gangsta
Huntsman would make a very good fallback option if the bain capital attack proves to be too deadly for romney.
Sounds good, I feel they are the better team.
“We?”. What number does MFG wear? How can he play for LSU and the Saints?
Congratulations New England.
Pittsburgh needs to get taller receivers!
I hope
I will be annoyed as hell if we lose second chance for bama ridiculous
Why are you so miserable bitterlaw?
Give it a fuqqing rest
125 QB rating for the day.
I don’t think its right for them to have to beat them twice.. especially when they beat bama away, and were sec champs.
Dr jay the rematch will be a war bama is very good hopefully homefield gives us the win the superdome really helps the home team
great game ! Tebow !
SUSYQUE was oddly silent during Tebow’s 3 game losing streak. Now she pulls a Sports Maxwell and rediscovers football.
Tim V.
She certainly wouldn’t dress like that if she were applying for a serious job unless it was a strip joint and she wanted to be a pole dancer.
Bama played a much weaker schedule and we beat them in their house
Rematch is absurd
If bama wins a close one, and I had a vote, I would still vote lsu #1. Bama has to win convicingly for me.
Because I’m not 12 years old, MFG, and I think adults saying “we” about a team is absurd.
Patriots open as 13 point favorites.

Winner !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah go fuqq off you’re always so goddamned miserable give it a rest
saying “we” as a fan, is fairly typical and normal

Why cant you just be happy when something good happens for someone else?
Only 13, Brandon? Patriots should cover that easily and I don’t bet on sports.
Brandon the tebow basher is on a roll. First newt now his great steelers
now mit, watch the language, there is a lady,a queen, in the hall.
Tebow basher? Try reading once in a while, it may help.
Steelers were supposed to win by three touchdowns. Tomlin is a bum
Tim V…for some strange reason, my whole post on that gal will not post!
Actually the line was about 8 points.
Condolences Steelers fans…
Bs Brandon. You said Denver would get wiped out
Eagles fans are the worst in the biz!
Sure, I did. That doesn’t make me a Tebow Basher.
Hell I thought Denver would be wiped out
Maybe I will have to go back in the archives and look for all the “Go Phillies” posts from MFG. Be happy for somebody else – as long as its MFG’s teams. Steelers fans can f off for MFG. Alabama fans? MFG will be so happy for them if Alabama wins, right?
MFG is a Tebow basher!
I can’t keep doing this week after week. Sorry to make it so obvious in OT. Just had to do my miracle thing and get back to my business here in heaven.
Bless u all -JC
All home teams win
All four wild cards lose only the eight division winners remain…
Friend, are you afflicted with a root of bitterness? If so, then let me challenge you to bring it before the Lord and let Him dig it out of your life tonight. If you will honestly confess your hurt to the Lord, seek to forgive the offending party, and then God will give the grace needed to make that a reality in your life. You don’t need to let that root of bitterness live another minute!

condolences to steelers fans
Brandon should get some slack… its stinks to watch your team’s season end.
The Steelers were minus Medenhall and ex-Gator Pouncey, which hurt up the middle.
Did jensen tell you to pick newt and the steelers in a 2 team parlay Brandon?
See my number 112 above counselor
Tebow,
Dude, I’m probably not gonna be available next week but let me see if I can give Tom Brady some diarrhea before the game.
Bless u all -JC

Jay decker was knocked out early too
DrJay, I really don’t even care. You aren’t winning the Super Bowl that banged up. It had to end sooner or later anyway.
Susy,
You’re so cute.
Love ya babe,

#127 They miss Dawkins badly, too. Both secondaries looked suspect.
Thank you Brandon, big Steelers fan here.
All of the sudden, I’m seeing a lot of requests from New Englanders for a win next week .. Hmm decisions decisions.
May God Bless u All -JC
Shut up already, Jesus. You’re just an ordinary prophet you dumbass LOL.

Thinking Saints/Patriots for the Super Bowl.
Which I guess essentially guarantees a Green Bay/Baltimore Super Bowl.
Don’t underestimate the importance of this win by Tebow. It will inspire Governor Perry to find the energy to surge in the polls and gather supporters.

As a Broncos fan we can use all the help we can get.
If Jesus wants to help, it’s fine with me.
And the world is full of examples where faith plays a big part in inspiring people to do great deeds.
If Tebow’s faith inspires him to be a great QB, I think that’s wonderful.
ESPN needs to stop talking about Tebow already and bring on the GoDaddy.com Bowl.
Like I said, I won’t be able to help next week but will see about Tom Brady getting diarrhea the night before …
-JC
Aww, Corey is upset that Tebow pulled it off and is now sour grapes.
Such a shame….
“According to recent historical turnout models, I predict that Susyque will NOT get laid tonight! ”
I think the odds are about the same as that ad that ran during the game.
About the same as getting mauled by a polar bear and another type of bear on the same day.
Actually,I was pulling for the Broncos to win this game.
I’m rubber, you’re glue. Whatever vulgar word you
apply to me, comes back and sticks on you!
I was just looking forward to watching my alma mater play in a Bowl game.
Where did you go jason?
” The name Polaris will lose all credibility.”
I think that train left the station a long time ago…
I went 3-1 this week in who I wanted to win the games, better than any of the paid NFL experts in their predictions.
Great picture of Tebow on Drudge!
Nobody gave Denver a chance especially after the 3 duds they played at the end of the regular season and backing in to the playoffs b/c of the oafish Raiders. The Steelers were suppose to runaway with this banged up and all. But Surprise Surprise a solid Denver team came to play against the reigning AFC champs and won.
Congrats to Tebow and the Denver Broncos. They will write you off for next week but I think this team has turned a corner and there is now no doubt win or lose the Tebow is the starting QB for Denver next season.
Hey susyque knows nursery rhymes.
Look, don’t threaten me or I will send my Dad to beat up your Dad.
Nyah, nyah.
(see, there is no low I cannot sink to)
Guess we know who Susy will be masturbating to tonight…
I don’t think even Jesus can save the Broncos against the Patriots.
But I will be praying for a miracle anyway.
Great, another request, i’m overloaded. Jason, remind me saturday about the diarrhea.. thanks.
-JC
#158…See #166
I once gave the name of one of my 3 alma maters and was attacked for it. So I don’t talk about where I went. I am sensitive.

Mr. “Santorum”, meet Mr “Anonymous.”
Maybe second time is the charm jason.
Denver will be looking to what the Jets did last year to the Pats in the playoffs.
I don’t remember ever seeing that jason.
Can’t understand why you would be attacked unless it was a …… clown college.
Tebow!!!!!!!!!!
If I revealed where I went to school it would be obvious why I am so brilliant.
I rather everyone thinks its natural brilliance.
I see nothing has changed.
Susy wants to suck Tebow’s dick.
Marv still wants to suck Perry’s dick.
Corey still wants to such Romney’s dick.

That post isn’t from “charles”. It is from a poster that Dave repeatedly bans (NOT IP).
Good for Tebow. He made some absolutely great throws. The kid has a very strong arm. He is very inconsistent with his short passes but that can improve over time.
Bitter – you are coming off as, uh, Bitter by going after the kid so hard.
I think the Pats will win next week but the Broncos can enjoy this victory. They were fortunate that Pitt’s front 4 were all injured but Tomlin, to his credit, said that was no excuse. A great game. What football is all about.
NBC is starting in on the “extreme Mormon” stuff quite early. They are going to have a show where some of Romney’s ancestors went to Mexico so they could live like Mormons used to live. Never mind that this was a long, long time ago. Obviously, Axelrod is now very concerned that Romney will prevail and is taking action. Sick. Very, very sick but they will make it untraceable.
Annie
I agree. We joke around a lot here and can get pretty nasty at times but there is a line we shouldn’t cross. That post crossed the line clearly. I find your posts to some of the most informative here at HHR. Please stay.
197 – Should be “sanctorum” – the sanctimonious dweeb.
Christie is awesome as reported by philly.com:
EXETER, N.H. — Like spectators in the Roman Colosseum, the Republican faithful screamed for their favorite gladiator as he stood poised for the kill.
It had been, up to that point, a standard-fare, even tame, political rally. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the front-runner in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday, quoted, as he often does, from “America The Beautiful.” New Jersey Gov. Christie repeated material he has used before about the need to expand, not divide, the American pie.
But then two young women yelled at Christie while he was speaking: “Christie kills jobs! Christie kills jobs!”
Christie paused. He had one hand on the microphone and the other in his pocket.
“Really?” he asked.
The crowd roared; they knew what was coming.
And that’s when he delivered a line destined for YouTube fame: “Something may go down tonight, but it ain’t going to be jobs, sweetheart.”
As the protesters were removed, the Garden State governor pivoted off the women’s chants to blast President Obama and boast about his own success in New Jersey.
“See it’s this confusion that’s out there, because if [the protester] was in New Jersey…she would know that we created 60,000 private sector jobs!” Christie roared.
He continued: “And if she wasn’t so blinded by her Barack Obama-induced anger, she would know that American jobs are coming back when Mitt Romney is the president of the United States!”
And finally: “If she wasn’t so disoriented by the loss of ‘hope and change,’ she’d understand that Mr. Romney is the hope for America’s future!”
For rally-goers who said they were more familiar with Christie’s “rough around the edges” personality than his his positions on the issues, they had gotten the red meat they had come for.
Romney great-grandfather was a polygamist and Obama’s father was a polygamist.
People won’t make too much of it.
The Giants will NOT beat the Pack next week. Someone pointed out that the Giants beat the Pack in the NFC Champ game 4 or 5 years ago in GB. That was when BRINT was QB and he chucked a few that day. Rodgers won’t make those mistakes.
Thanks, MD – I’ve been checking in with the HHR for a very long time now – since Dave began the HHR. And, yes, it can get a bit wild here…but everyone here are sort of friends from far flung parts of the country (perhaps Chekote excluded? Doesn’t seem to like us much…) and a degree of respect should be shown as one would for any friend.
I know Corey but it is absurd and quite obvious the goal of the story is to make Romney, by extension, look bad. You didn’t see any stories about Obama’s father on NBC. Watch how hard they advertise this story. The msm makes me sick.
The filter? Somehow 173 could get through yet my innocuous post could not.
So long as Romney is not a polygamist. Far better a husband to a single woman than Newt, the serial womanizer.
Annie – we all have our moments, me more than most. I know that. I hit hard and don’t always play fair. I even enjoy the guy talk about women. However, we all know the line and only idiots would go over that.
Speaker O’Neal apologizes for forwarding email that calls Michelle Obama “Mrs. YoMama”
http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2012/jan/05/statehouse-live-speaker-oneal-forwards-email-calls/
Annie – I am positive that they have turned over every single rock on Romney and have found nothing. The best they can do is go back 70 or 80 years and find some relatives and comment on how Romney transported a dog in 1983. It is beyond pathetic.
It’s one thing to talk raunchy about hypothetical BJs and dream gals with big hooters (heck, I enjoy those comments, too, as I’m no prude), and quite another to direct a really crude remark toward a particular person, especially as a man toward a woman that is a friend on this site.
White House ‘covered up’ Tim Burton-staged Alice in Wonderland Halloween party

My husband has just finished making me a delicious looking filet mignon and pasta dinner, and says I am to “come to the table” – so, I’ll have to sign off for now. (He’s the best steak-cook ever! He cooks the steaks, I clean up after – it’s our deal.)
Susy – you get on my nerves all the time but I do agree on this issue. Shouldn’t be allowed. 173 is not the poster who was known as Charles here. It is another guy that Dave has repeatedly banned. He must get a new computer and basically does the same post every few months.
215 – I’m coming over! Medium rare. Do you wine to go with that? If not, I have a good cab.
Bitter – Wawa expanding to Florida. Thank God. I plan to retire in 10 to 12 years and move there. I need my Wawa.

Don’t tell Lisab that Annie. Haven’t had a really good steak in over a month.

several of the posts on this thread have crossed the line. dave needs to ban or reprimand someone or several,depending.
Agree Tim V. Annie has made me very hungry now. I haven’t eaten much in the last 3 days because I have been sick.
MD – I said nothing about Tebow as he lost over the last three weeks. Nothing. I’m sorry I don’t get caught up in waves of emotion like Tebow-mania and Support the Saints becuase Bush killed their fans crap.

I also don’t care for the Jesus parody posts. I find those offensive also.
Hey TimV don’t be the male version of susyque, one anal retentive persona is enough for one blog.
But you are right about hijacking handles.
I agree that the specific vulgarity directed at SUSYQUE was wrong. Jesus posts are no worse than Jesus wants Tebow to win. Both are equally stupid.

“The two biggest priorities for primary voters are to decide which candidate can make Washington DC as inconsequential to the life of the average American as possible, and who can challenge President Obama directly on the worst legislation of our time–Obamacare.
Mitt Romney has no track record that would point to being able to accomplish either of these. Even a small whiff of a challenge on Obamacare by Romney will be followed up with an Obama “thank you” note for writing it for him.”

Ah yes, Hunstman will come in second and we will have a new anti-Romney.
True conservatives will have to swallow hard to make Huntsman into a conservative alternative to Romney.
That would be interesting since Huntsman’s new rationale is that Mitt is too mean towards the Obama Administration.
Ron Paul’s favorite cartoon character appears.
Romney has categorically committed to repeal Obamacare from Day 1.
Good enough for me.
I love this hypocrisy about Romney, when he has always been clear the mandate was a state program.
Why isn’t Wylie complaining about Newt, who advocated for national mandates on HC.
“3% for Buddy Roemer, and 1% for Rick Perry.”
Will someone please call our friend, Marv and make sure he’s ok?
Of course, they morphed Newt, who has always been to the left of Romney, into a “conservative”, so I guess they can do it to Huntsman too.
I think if Buddy beats Perry its sayonara… really.
Is Buddy really a candidate? Why does he get polled?
Jason “true conservatism” doesn’t matter to “true conservatives.” Don’t you understand that?
Wylie used to have some cogent arguments, especially against Obamacare.
But sadly it seems like he has become a Paulbot.
Hard to be credible after that, considering Paul is one of the biggest porkers in Congress.
Just out
New WMUR/UNH poll: Mitt 41 Paul 17 Huntsman 11 Santorum 11 Newt 8
I know a guy in my area who is legitimately Buddy Roemer’s Marv.
Of course, they made Roemer’s #1 guy in Illinois for obvious reasons.

” Jason “true conservatism” doesn’t matter to “true conservatives.” Don’t you understand that?”
I do now. It started when some of our true conservatives said “immigration did not matter” when Perry and Newt essentially proposed amnesty.
Then Newt’s support for HC mandates, carbon tax, global warming, fairness doctrine, big government “big ideas” etc didn’t matter either.
I got the message.
Less than 25 hours until Dixville Notch!
I think that like in Iowa Ron Paul’s support is overestimated.
Many of the Paulbots polled don’t vote in NH.
Paul campaign is changing modes from going for early victories into more of a bunker mode.
We have the money for the million dollar Florida markets, but he is instead choosing to fund 10 or so small caucus states instead where we have the chance to upset Romney.
” but he is instead choosing to fund 10 or so small caucus states instead where we have the chance to upset Romney.”
So that says he has given up on the nomination and just wants to be a pain in the ass.
I hope the idiots donating to him realize they are funding “a message” not a “candidate”.
” New WMUR/UNH poll: Mitt 41 Paul 17 Huntsman 11 Santorum 11 Newt 8 ”
That would be devastating to Newt’s fundraising….
But I think he will finish 5th.

“So, what about government currency?
Well, when the state controls currency, they can inflate to their heart’s content, and, especially if it cannot be redeemed, there is no check on it beyond the inevitable recession or depression. Since money is nothing but paper the state prints, they can make as much as they want, and they do, which is why we lose purchasing power every year, though we have become so used to this we don’t even notice any longer.
In addition, it works as a hidden tax. When the government prints money and uses it to buy things, it drives up prices, making our savings worth less. In effect, they have secretly taxed every dollar of savings to finance those purchases. But inflation is worse than an honest tax, as it strikes unevenly, and tends to cause economic dislocations out of proportion to the numbers themselves.
In addition, thanks to the ability to suddenly revalue currencies, nations tend to develop rather hostile economic policies as they attempt to be the first to revalue the currency to their advantage, before another nation does it to them. In general, fiat currency makes money management a tool for exporting economic loss to other countries.
And yet, this system, which hides taxes, wrecks economies and fosters hostile international relations, is modern and benevolent, while the stable system which exchanged value for value and could be run without the slightest government involvement was the “barbarous relic”? I can’t understand how this thought process works. ”

Yep, we certainly cant trust those people with too much Freedom and Liberty…..we Establishment Statist RINOs will use unlimited government intervention and power so much better then them Establishment Statist Democrats:
http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/rick-santorum-v-limited-government/
“He declared himself against individualism, against libertarianism, against “this whole idea of personal autonomy, . . . this idea that people should be left alone.” And in this 2005 TV interview, you can hear these classic hits: “This is the mantra of the left: I have a right to do what I want to do” and “We have a whole culture that is focused on immediate gratification and the pursuit of happiness . . . and it is harming America.”
No wonder Jonathan Rauch wrote in 2005 that “America’s Anti-Reagan Isn’t Hillary Clinton. It’s Rick Santorum.” Rauch noted:
In his book he comments, seemingly with a shrug, “Some will reject what I have to say as a kind of ‘Big Government’ conservatism.”
They sure will. A list of the government interventions that Santorum endorses includes national service, promotion of prison ministries, “individual development accounts,” publicly financed trust funds for children, community-investment incentives, strengthened obscenity enforcement, covenant marriage, assorted tax breaks, economic literacy programs in “every school in America” (his italics), and more. Lots more.
Rauch concluded,
With It Takes a Family, Rick Santorum has served notice. The bold new challenge to the Goldwater-Reagan tradition in American politics comes not from the Left, but from the Right.”
So our new so-called “conservative” champion doesnt believe ANY sphere in your life is off-limits to the wonderous powers of central government?
Yep, we better trash those people who really beleive in individual libery and Constitutional government some more…..
“In 2010 even Ann Coulter was making speeches at CPAC warning that if we chose the candidate who had authored Obamacare to become the nominee, then President Obama would be easily re-elected. She was right of course.
But somewhere along the line instead of being bold, defiant, grassroots, and in control, someone started feeding voters the meme that the man who saw to it that $50 state-subsidized abortions were included in his vision of mandated government health care, was the best of poor choices.
Even Ann Coulter 2.0 drank the kool-aid.
Worse yet the choices that are left in the race are establishment folks who ate earmarks for a living in Pennsylvania, embraced government involvement in the biggest hoax of our time–man made Global Warming, and who could forget the man that as Governor of Massachusetts raised taxes on everything from gasoline to “certificates of blindness.” (No it’s real… Look it up.)”

Yeah, go Willard! He is single-handedly redefining Managerial Statism as “conservative”……lets all be Romney-bots and get in on the big General Election defeat!
Lay off Wylie. Mitt is a handsome man, ok? Golly!!
Emerica’s links v. Wylie’s cut and paste jobs? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Wylie still cannot explain why Obama would be better than Romney.
And no, we are not going back to the gold standard.
The new anti Mitt

A mandate for catastrophic health insurance is the soundest way for us to solve a big chunk of our health problems.
What happens when you go to the emergency room? That’s right, they HAVE to treat you if you have a life-threatening emergency. As such, all persons should be required to have catastrophic coverage just like all people are required to have car insurance in certain states.
That’s why Republicans were almost all for reasonable insurance mandates before Obamacare. It was a sane solution to a big problem.
Of course dems, once they got their hands on it, twisted it so that everyone ends up getting cadillac care all for “free.” You can’t really find many conservatives that have been involved in politics for many years that don’t have the insurance mandate skeleton in their closet.
The real predicament for the GOP is that when they win back power a big chunk of their base expect for us to go back to the days of Calvin Coolidge. Well it’s not going to happen. Obamacare, if it’s going to be repealed, will have to be replaced.
I think Rommey realizes this and will extract his pound of flesh from the democrats. Otherwise we will have more gridlock and more socilist gridlock.
Diogenes, should conservatives be concerned about Romney’s history at Bain Capital?
Democrats are already flying fired workers across the country to counter Romney’s job creating claims.
Romney winning the nomination means that the election will be about Obama’s record not Romney’s. None of Romney’s “skeletons” are anything that independents will care about. Only full-on socialists would find anything wrong with Romney’s past.
This election will be a referendum on Obama. All that matters is that Romney appears a competent alternative once people have decided they are done with Obama. Nothing in Romney’s past disqualifies him (unlike the rest of the clowns that make up the GOP field).
#271 There is also nothing in Romney’s past record that makes him philospohically any different from Obama
Romney is an unlimited government Manageral Progressive
Obama is an ulimited government Ideological Progressive
In other words, they are both Statists!
So unless you follow politics like a sport where you root for your “team” to “win” for the sake of winning there is no reason for optimisim with a Romney nomination. You will get more of the same under Romney ie decline, serfdom, and oppression
” Only full-on socialists would find anything wrong with Romney’s past.”
no we don’t
romney is much better than obama
“There is also nothing in Romney’s past record that makes him philospohically any different from Obama”
romney cut spending dramatically in massachusetts and also balanced the budget
#273 Romney slightly slowed the growth of government and didnt really “cut” a darn thing…..while creating an out of control budget time bomb with RomneyCare
And he raised taxes and fees on nearly everything in cite
You make my point well: He is a Managerial Progressive Statist
A “paid for” oppressive big government is still an oppressive big government
A distiction without a difference
This is the kind of phoney-baloney “conservatism” pedelled in Canada, UK, Europe etc
We really dont want limit government (cause we love da power, perks, and $$$ too!) – we will just manage the Authoritrian Welare State better!
All hail Willard da Great!
#268 Yeah if your a socialist/statist who wants to get government in control of HC!
Newsflash poindexter: the “Free” ER problem was caused by a previous Unconstitutional governement imposed “compassionate” regulation forced on Hospitals, providers, and consumeers!
So your “solution” to the problem created by a past misguided government intervention is to authorize yet MORE government intervention?
Your “big” ER problem costs you $184 dollars a year (compare with $109 per year extra you pay in stores due to costs added to your bill from shoplifting “freeloaders”) while government mandated insurance will add an additional $2400+ per year to your bill!
How is a huge loss of individual freedom and $$$ is in any way “conservative”?
This makes sense only to a dedicated Romney apologist!
“Romney slightly slowed the growth of government and didnt really “cut” a darn thing”
that is incorrect
he cut tremendous amounts
we in massachusetts like romneycare
our state, our choice
don’t try to impose your views of how things should be on us
#268 Actually I want to go back to at least the days of Grover Cleveland, heck really Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson etc
Why is it so unthinkable that people should be allowed to live unmolested in Freedom?
If keep clinging to the Statist/Socialist notion that government intervention (ie using force or coersion) can “fix” things thru “social engineering” or “scientific management” of the economy (ie government central planning)instead of embracing the proper role of government as simply a collective protector of Individual Rights we will continue to find stuff getting ever worse…..
#276 He slowed the astronomical rate of government growth slightly….and his ObamaCare proto type program is now eating your budget lunch
in other words, he was, like I said, a managerial Progressive Statist!
While it is true that the people of Massachusetts can try an governmental gimick that want since that is their perogative under the 10th amendment, I in no way think that giving government the power at any level to force you to do practically anything they want is in any way Constitutional under the 14th amendment!
“Why is it so unthinkable that people should be allowed to live unmolested in Freedom?”
you are trying to take away the system we wanted
it was our choice
“Why is it so unthinkable that people should be allowed to live unmolested in Freedom?”
actually he cut spending and balanced the budget every year
I wish we could move back to the days before Calvin Coolidge and the government was tiny and America was free.
However, the damage is done. Social Security and MEdicare/Medicaid are here to stay. Romney knows how to sell the repeal of Obamacare which is to say that it drains money we don’t have and wrecks the New Deal.
I’ll take what I can get in the here and now. Sticking to principle and staying home got us Obama which was a 1000x worse for America than even more moderate McCain would have been.
#282 Sorry, I dont share your pessimism. SS, Medicare, etc are all ponzi-schemes that are doomed to collapse due to both $$$ and demographic reasons
A “moderate” Statist is still a Statist!
So the “damage” done by an Obama is done in four years vice 8 or 12?
Again, a distiction without a difference
Matters will still come to a head(ie national collapse) albiet perhaps on a different timeline if we continue to agree to “go along to get along” by not even trying to advance the correct principles
The end result is the same
#280 Your “system” still cannot violate the Bill of Rights (see 4th, 5th, and 14th amendments)….not even in Massachusetts!
#281 Again, slowing rates of government growth and dependecy is not “cutting” and his budgets were “balanced” by increasing taxes and fees everywhere!
Again, if you simply want a bland Manager for the Welfare State then Willard is your guy – go for it
But dont insult my intellegence to by saying that guy is will do anything of any real significance to change the current central government Statist Levithan!
“Your “system” still cannot violate the Bill of Rights ”
it doesn’t
we are free to adopt romneycare under the 10th
our state, our choice
“Again, slowing rates of government growth and dependecy ”
actually romney got massachusetts spending under control, balanced the budget, lowered unemployment, increased our wealth, and gave everyone health care
I was sorry to hear of Tony Blankley’s passing…..
#283:
“ponzi schemes”? “doomed to collapse”? Well, one has been here for 47 years, and the other one for 77 years. Social Security has never cost the Government one dime. They have been the most successful social programs in history. Go ahead, and try to eliminate them. Then, stand back and watch, as the GOP goes the way of the Whigs.
Some of you have mentioned that you want to go back to the days of Calvin Coolidge, and before? Do you read history books? Geez……
#245:
I think he’s lying about that. As soon as he gets the nomination, just watch him make a beeline for the political center.
#173:
That is just way out of bounds. No reason to say something like that, here.
Tim – I wanted the Falcons to beat the Giants. Blame me.
No government program costs “the government” anything. It costs the taxpayers a great deal.
