Re: romney lies to american people
po, newt was vetting romney on bain but he got silenced by the party for attacking capitalism. some democrats tried to silence obama with the same argument, but the obama campaign isn't falling for it. bain is romney's argument for being president. the party should've let newt, perry and santorum fully attack romney and republicans wouldn't be in this position now. why did they let this happen?

Because the most influential people in the GOP believe that Romney is the type of Republican that can actually beat Obama.
The powers that be in the GOP never thought for a minute that Santorum or Gingrich could actually win against Obama because of what they represent when others look at them.
I can't say I disagree with the mindset-- especially if my only goal was to get Obama out of office. However, that's not my goal. There's no reason to get Obama out of office to replace him with someone who is inconsistent and unpredictable.
Romney will never have my support, regardless of his VP pick.

Romney's problem is that he can't articulate the issues well. He contradicted himself in the interview he had on this issue Friday night.
It's troubling that he can't break away in the polls from Obama for being the top notch guy to fix the economy. It's a bad time, regardless of Obama's failures, to appear to be an out of touch Elitist. Boehner didn't help by saying people are not going to fall in love with Romney. Even though he is right, I can't imagine why he would stoke that fire.
I believe they were banking on Romney because, he has the most money. Money isn't working for candidates like it used to. People are more informed.
Yes, Newt was making the case, the others guys picked it up and the RNC put the skids on it. It is a conversation we need to be having, but it's too deep of a conversation and would get lost in the sound bites.
Romney SHOULD be talking about changing our tax code and the process of gaming the system because of it. He needs to talk about his experience of avoiding taxes by having his money in other places. He needs to be candid about how he wants to save OUR economy. But, I'm afraid Newt is right - He will only manage the decay.
The GOP would have to eat crow if they allowed Newt the top spot. He was cleared of ALL ethic violations - pure politics on both sides. Newt is no man's puppet and therefore, he can't be in their game. When Thomas Sowell believes Newt would make the best president, that is something to pay attention to.
Of course, ALL of the candidates drowned in the media narrative and hype. It's disappointing that they lead the American people around by the nose making them think what they want them to think - make them view things the way they want them to view things. I read comments and know where the narrative came from - parroting the MSM and not realizing it. Such manipulation. I hate it. Remote - click off.

Seriously you approve of Obama for what reason? Or do you plan on not voting?

But my point is who cares how he spends his own money? It's his to do as he wishes as we all do.
How my money is spent by others matters to me.

People don't seem to understand that by running Romney as the winner this far back in the primary, it gives Obama more time to expose him. It was a stupid strategy. They did it to defeat the opposition from conservatives.
We are not fighting against Romney per se, we are fighting against the bankers and international corporations that want to globalize this country. Romney is a tool just like Obama was.
They backed Obama and he got out of control with his Marxism junk, so now they back Romney. People are fools. This is not about Obama vs. Romney. This is about who controls the country, "we the people" or the UN and globalists.
People should seriously consider the Delegate lawsuit against Romney. It is important. An open convention means there can be Palin, Perry, Newt, etc on the ballot. The more people on the ballot the more chance Romney loses. Nobody likes him.
He still is at about 25% of the GOP voters. Committed delegates according to sources is 419. That is less than 19% of the delegates. People have zero confidence in Romney. We can still re-set. It's not too late.

Ummm do you have a lot of food stored up?
Your starting to sound a little...paranoid
Romney and Obama are tools, they are controlled by someone else..."They" are backing Romney now.
Sounds a little kooky to me.

LOL! They have the same 100 donors. There isn't much of a difference in who wants to support either of them.

Re: romney lies to american people
Mitt Romney Bain Capital Document Lists Him As 'Managing Member' In 2002
A corporate document filed with the state of Massachusetts in December 2002 -- a month after Romney was elected governor -- lists him as one of two managing members of Bain Capital Investors, LLC "authorized to execute, acknowledge, deliver and record any recordable instrument purporting to affect an interest in real property, whether to be recorded with a Registry of Deeds or with a District Office of the Land Court."

On Twitter - "Romney " retroactively" retiring from Bain is based on the Mormon After Death Baptizing principle."
