ROMNEY? Is there, are there actual factual questions regarding his stand on social issues??

[PHILIP SCHNEIDER]

The Mitt Romney Report

As former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney runs for President of the United States, his powerful (and well-funded) campaign machine uses revised history and misleading statements to portray him as a solid social and fiscal conservative with a track record of successes as governor. Much of this is exacerbated by fawning (and lazy) conservative media.

However, the truth is different. We present the following documentation of Romney's actual record in Massachusetts. We think that the facts will speak for themselves.

The Mitt Romney Deception Report - Our 28-page comprehensive report released in November, 2006, describing how Gov. Romney ran for office and governed as a liberal, despite his claims to the contrary. This covers a wide range or topics and is an essential read.

Is Mitt Romney one of those high profile, well funded candidates who will change his politics to take advantage of current national issues? Or is he a man of conviction and principal willing to put his nation's constitution before politics?

[PHILIP SCHNEIDER]

We need this kind of pre-op vetting. I'd like to know the candidates before they actually say, "I will" and begin the electioneering process.

Thanks gmiller for your thoughts on this.

[gmiller]

We should apply something like the iCaucus vetting process to these clowns, as we did for the lower offices. I started collecting info. So far, only a few look good, such as Michele Bachmann.   Of the ones in the limelight, Bachmann seems as close to the real deal as we're probably going to get, but even her votes have a few problems, such as yes on the blatantly unconstitutional Patriot Act.  I suppose all pols must make some compromises to get and stay in office, or may not even fully appreciate the Constitutional issues.

 

Perry has unsavory connections to the Bilderberg/CFR, is a TTC/NAU fan, hates SB 1070,  forces unproven vaccines on young girls. All my RINO friends tell me that only RomBot and Perry can win and that they're "Good Conservatives."   For anybody who believes that, I have a bridge I wanna sell them in my hometown of Brooklyn, NY. 

They say his state  doing well and that he gets credit for that. He served as Lt. Governor for a man who people said the same thing about-- GW Bush. We all know how well that worked out.

 

Quite afew of my friends have turned to Ron Paul. While I must admit that he has indeed helped to introduce improvements in political thought in this country, I don't think he is Presidential material. I'll bet he'd make a hell of a Secretary of the Treasury, though, certainly light years ahead of TurboTax Timmy Geithner.  I think Ron's son has great potential, though,

 

Clinton went to the annual Bilderberg meeting in 1991. In 1992, he was elected President. Obama went to the annual Bilderberg meeting in 2007. in 2008, he was elected President. Perry went to Bilderberg in 2007. "Conspiracy theory?"  Coincidence?  they say that there are no coincidences in politics. Whatever. Is it also just a coincidence that we started getting inundated with Perry propganda the wek on the Switzerland Bilderberg meeting thsi month?  Even My Christian Right friends were calling me up, telling me about their Conversations with perry;s guys, how he was leafding people in prayer, whatva righteous Christian Conservative he is, etc.  There was Even a Wall St. Journal Op-Ed article today, crowing about Perry being ready for "Prime Time."  Even MSM has been talking about him, all the while maintaining their withering barrage of criticism of Sarah, Michele and Rick, without even missing a beat. What does that tell you, folks?  Remember how they boosted the "Maverick" during the primary, then turned their guns on him for teh general election?

 

Most of the people the Tea Party helped put in the House of Reps last year have been a disappointment, although we raised the average level of Constitutional Conservatism. We obviously have a long way to go.

 

Just in case you sart getting starry-eyed and nostaligic for Newt, here's some raw meat for you:

DeMint, West and Ryan are possibilities also, but far from perfect and do not appear to be running at this time. Santiorum has been talking pretty Conservative, but hasn't always acted like it. His support of Spector was a bit jarring, too, huh?

 

And then, of course, there is Sarah.  I much prefer Bachmann, although Sarah is in a class by herself when  it comes to showmanship and arousing the full range of emotional responses.

 

Would appreciate any good info/insights that you might have on the candidates. We're trying to build a database.

[Linda Maddox]

I don't like him, he is a GOP RINO! The media is promoting him to destroy our country and continue Obamas agenda.

[Darlene Littlejohn]

Thank you!  I like Bachmann a lot.  I don't know enough (yet) about Perry.

[Teresa Smith]

People better do their homework and just because the Tea Party endorses someone does not mean they make a good candidate. There is now a "fake tea party" so be careful and research things and go with your gut.I do not personally want Mitt Romney. He is a Rhino and just proved it by doing what he did with health care in Mass. Its broke now and people can not get any good care there.

[gmiller]

Interesting that Romney is also leading polls of professed Tea Party people, too. Clearly, we have our education task cut out for us. Even among those who know Romney is a RINO, exists the false belief that only the RomBot or Perry can beat Obama.

[gmiller]

Very interesting, thank you.

 

The most recent survey shows that only the Marxist Usurper Obama is ahead of Willard "Mitt" Romney in the polls, with an actual Conservative, Michele Bachmann, in third place.
