Subscribe to RSSSUN LAKES, AZ -- In what was a free-wheeling town hall that felt more like a rally, Mitt Romney, with shirt sleeves rolled up and pacing the stage, seemed to be able to do no wrong -- receiving generous applause, even as he praised one of the most controversial political figures in recent American history: former Vice President Dick Cheney.
"I think it was last weekend I was watching C-SPAN, and I saw Vice President Dick Cheney and he was being asked questions about a whole host of issues -- following 9/11, the affairs in various countries in the world. And I listened to him speak and said whether you agree or disagree with him, this a man of wisdom and judgment, and he could have been president of the United States," Romney told the crowd to their loud approval. "That's the kind of person I'd like to have -- a person of wisdom and judgment."
That answer came to a question about whether Romney would name a "Tea Party person" as his vice presidential nominee. Romney demurred, saying only that his one "overwhelming criteria" for a VP choice, should he be lucky enough to make one, would be that that person is ready to become president, as he felt Cheney was.
Romney, fresh from a fundraising luncheon, was buoyed by a crowd estimated to be nearly 800 strong -- mostly seniors, whose parked cars stretched for block after manicured block here in the Sun Lakes golf and retirement community near Phoenix. It was perhaps the largest, friendliest Romney crowd of the campaign season, which one Romney aide said showed the candidate's strength in Arizona, but also could have been related to a front-page story in this morning's Arizona Republic, which several attendees said was how they learned of the event.
The former governor of Massachusetts stung his biggest rival, Rick Perry of Texas, on issues likely to carry more than a little water in this now early-voting, senior-heavy, border state: Social Security and immigration.
On Social Security, Romney joked, "You may have watched the debate. It came out in a big way."
"Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme," Romney began telling a questioner, to the laughter and approval approval of the crowd. "Social Security has worked for 75 years pretty darn well. You guys have not taken advantage of Social Security; you contributed to it. It's a savings plan, a pension plan. There are no bad guys in Social Security, so I don't call it a Ponzi scheme."
But Romney, who said he wouldn't touch the plan for current seniors, admitted the funding system would need changes in the long term to keep it solvent for younger generations. How would he accomplish this?
"No.1, we're not going to change it by sending it back to the states. Gov. Perry, in his book, said: 'Look, it's unconstitutional at the federal level, give it back to the states,'" he said. "Look, you can't have people who move from state to state to state having different plans state to state. I wouldn't want the state legislatures raiding the trust funds of Social Security state by state. It needs to be a federal entitlement. I will save Social Security as a federal program and as a federal entitlement."
On immigration, Romney gave mostly his standard answer, and did not reference Perry directly -- instead, the crowd did it for him. Romney said that he likes legal immigration, that he supports building a fence to stop illegal immigration, and that he wants to turn off the "magnet" in the United States.
"We create advantages for people to come here illegally -- jobs, employers who hire people who are here illegally, giving in-state tuition to people who come here illegally," Romney said, drawing laughs and applause just as he mentioned in-state tuition, something Perry has approved in Texas, of which Romney has at times been sharply critical.
Romney took some criticism of his own in one testy exchange. He was questioned about his Massachusetts health-care plan, which one woman in the crowd pressed him to admit was a failure. The questioner continued speaking over Romney as he first tried to respond, saying he put "Obamacare" into place in Massachusetts, and that he made Masschusetts the most expensive state for health care.
"First of all, you're wrong," Romney responded, showing perhaps a flash of annoyance. "And let me explain why I said that. First, you said Obamacare. We had ours in place before Obamacare. We had ours in place before Obama had his. Four years before, we put our bill in place. And let me tell you -- Massachusetts health-care is the most expensive in the nation -- and it was before our bill -- and it was after."
That exchange aside, the crowd was consistently a friendly one, which after also covering Iran, school choice, and a few other meaty issues, presented the following as the penultimate question: Everyone who becomes president turns old on the job. Can you tell us why do you want to take on the responsibility?
Romney laughed as he responded. "It won't happen to me! It won't happen to me! I'm already old! I'm 64," he said to applause, adding: "I could live here!"
As he put up his microphone, Romney was mobbed -- as if he were Justin Bieber and the crowd, preteen girls. Autograph seekers with Romney's jobs book in hand, and seniors with iPhones looking for pictures surged around him, as he made his way towards the exits and a final evening fundraiser.
As he approached the door, Romney shook hands with one supporter who pumped his arm vigorously as he told the candidate, "I named my yacht 'Deregulation'. It was a political statement."

Slick Mitt strikes again!
Mitt, You mean the (no bid) clown that was responsible for $20 billion that is still missing from the Pentagon? You just gave another candidate a crap load of votes! Goof!
LIVE TO RIDE "Mitt, You mean the (no bid) clown that was responsible for $20 billion that is still missing from the Pentagon?"
What are you talking about? Mitt never worked at the Pentagon. That's like saying Obama is 'responsible' for the financial mess in California.
Re: Cheney - "That's the kind of person I'd like to have -- a person of wisdom and judgment."
Curious question for those who call for a 'war crimes trial' for Cheney - Since the VP is purely an advisory role, and he is not able to make any decisions (only the President can do that), what 'war crime' could he be guilty of - offering advice?
Can't any of them just stop putting their foot in their mouth ??
Night Hawk, my thoughts exactly. Romney couldve stayed middle of the road, no ridiculous statements, and won the GOP by default. Instead, he makes a major mistake in tooting Dick Cheney's horn. I suppose Romney is all for water-boarding, torture, and invading sovereign countries too.
Profiting off of thousands of American soldiers lives.
Political Chinese Proverb
Pandering to voter already in pocket ... while kicking voter in ass sitting on fence ... bring intelligence into question!!!
Love that proverb ! I am for Mitt, now thinking about it. Thought he was the only one out there with an oz of sence. He just made me stop and think a bit more. Even though I don't see a chance in hell I would vote for any of the others, except Huntsman.
Well, that just about does it.
I have no one to vote for now. This is making Paul look good. By the way he (Mitt) got it wrong. Bush was the VP, Cheney was President.
The VP sits on the national security council, which authorized and coordinated Bush's illegal torture program. At the very least Cheney is guilty of conspiracy to torture.
http://www.aclu.org/accountability/tortureprogram.html
Mr. Wilson, Careful read the caption again! I was talking about ole shot gun, Cheney!
well that certainly loses my vote
I listened to him speak. and said whether you agree or disagree with him, this a man of wisdom and judgement, and he could have been president of the United States,"
Mutt just lost my vote. Anyone who considers dick cheney a "man of wisdom and judgement" doesn't have enough wisdom and judgement to be President.
Why is it all these rethugli-con baffoons can do is stick their feet in their mouths. Except for the fact that it is imparitive to keep all the rethug clowns out of the WH I almost would be willing not to vote next year. It's sad that our choices in America have come down to what the Dems and rethugs are offering.
wolf,
From the article:
Maybe if you just ran out and picked out a nice yacht, and named it "No More Taxes", Romney would see that you're politically correct and well-heeled to boot, and pay for it himself to buy your vote back.
I feel the same, whitewolf. I'd leave the POTUS ballot blank, but I'm terrified we'd get one of the GOP clown posse in the Oval Office. I'm not opposed to a Republican per se, but this current batch is just NOT what we need. And here I thought Mitt was at least sane.
Yes, I think we should just stay on this track for 4 more years.By then nobody will have a job and the Government will be out of money. Hope and Change music to my ears.
Hillary 2012
All that needs to be said has been said. When a candidate endorses the policies of a war criminal profiteer you have all the information you need.
I too was offended by the Deregulation yacht. Who are these people? Where did they come from? Were they raised by wolves?
I saw this in today's headlines which further convinces me that no candidate really wants to shut down illegal immigration.
I guess there's something to be said that at least an American company is doing the work. Not like Perry giving BIG contracts for road construction in TX to a Spanish company.
He never had mine...
I think I'd have to agree to that one t4t, I'd like to see another Clinton in the oval office, Bill did do a pretty damn good job at it, he cleaned up the mess left by Reagan and Bush1, it's too bad he can't run again, however, if his wife can do half the job he did, we might start to see some economic recovery out of a term or two with her at the helm. Actually, I was saying the same thing back when the real poilitical decision was between her or Obama, I was hoping she would get the dem ticket, hopefully clean up the economic disaster left by Bush2. But it seems the rest of the US wasn't thinking the same way I was. Maybe this time...?
Hillary '12
Up until now, I thought Romney was the better of the candidates, but after his praising that war criminal and goddamn sonofabitch Dick Cheney, he's at the bottom of my list. What an ingratiating flip-flopper. It's almost as if Romney believes he deserves to be president when he's really accomplished nothing.
Why not? President Obama became President when he really accomplished nothing.
I think Mitt is getting a little comfortable. He's wanted to be President for quite some time now, and with the state of affairs as it is today, any generic Republican will beat the President hands down. All Romney has to do is get the nomination and he's basically in. Too easy.
Did you see the poll today that had Obama beating Perry 52% to 46%? Perry is pretty generic, for a Texan.
Sadly, Obama is the best candidate that we'll get in 2012. His first term can be described as disappointing at best, and failed at worst - yet the GOP has not seen fit to put forward any candidates worth the hot air that they expel from their mouths when they give these speeches.
Those who don't have lots of hot air aren't in front of the race. Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman are both viable alternatives to Obama (though it's still doubtful that they're better), and Mitt Romney was fine too until this incident.
Well he is no longer generic. By praising that evil crook who enriched all his buddies at taxpayer expense he has firmly placed himself as part of the extreme right wing. I may not be happy with Obama, but I will take him over the three stooges the republicans are putting up right now.
Ron Paul is still a wild card and Jon Huntsman's a known moderate, but it's doubtful that they'll reach the end of the race. Clearly most Republicans are anything but sensible.
Why do Teapublicans insist on bringing shame to the Reagan Library? First with the Tea Party Express debate, and now CNN is going to interview Darth Vader, er uh, Dick Cheney there about his book he's trying to peddle. WTF?
I did like Romney and was not afraid of him as a greedy racist GOP person. NOT now.... he ranks as low as Perry in my eyes. Cheney was as close to pure evil as you can get. I use past tense since he will be in hell soon.
Excuse me while I go throw up! Mitt, anyway the wind blows, yuk.
We can only hope.
Just when you think he's going for the independent vote, he goes right back for the crazy right.
He never left the crazy right. Obama 2012 and the hopes for a better term than his first. Objectively, he had some bright spots and some tough ones - mixed bag, but I would like to think that he will learn and apply the next term. The republicans in this race are not even far right, they fell off the scale...
May G-D help us all. Cheney is an evil criminal.
CE::: Cheney is not only an evil criminal, he is a LOUSY shot!
What's more troubling? The double-talk from every candidate, or the people in the crowds cheering for people to die and for war criminals to be President?
If Cheney is a "war criminal" to your despicable America-hating moonbats, then the current President is one too.
Exactly BOB
Cheney started the war and had no intention of pulling out. At least Obama had the sense to put an end to it.
Obama has continued the Bush/Cheney policy of drone attacks that have killed civilians, Patriot Act, Gitmo and Afghanistan. Again. If Cheney is a war criminal, so is Obama. Your selective labeling of people as "war criminals" based on their political affiliation (and yours) exposes you as a hypocritical, anti-American sack of crap.
Even if you try Obama as a war criminal, there's still no reason to let Cheney off. I'd rather see Obama be tried than let Cheney go unscathed. Obama probably wouldn't be convicted, but still.
Bush,Obama,Cheney,Boehner,Reid,PELOSI etc...Not much difference they just keep on rolling and keep on sticking it to us. Re-elect NOBODY!
New GOPTP buzz word....anti-American. In my book this and more is anti-American:
1. Signing a pledge that filibusters Congress when thousands of people are unemployed.
2. Awarding a contract worth millions to a Spanish company when thousands of people in America are unemployed. (Perry)
3. Lying on national television about the reason you strong armed a law through for 12 year old girls to get a vaccination that hasn't been proven yet. (Perry)
Meanwhile, Perry claimed he received $5,000 from Merck, but that only represented their 2006 contributions. In all, Perry pocketed about $30,000 from Merck, the maker of the HPV vaccine.
Merck has also reportedly given more than $380,000 to the Republican governors association, or RGA, since 2006... the year that Perry stepped up his role in that group. One watchdog group estimates the RGA has given Perry's campaigns more than $4 million over the last five years.
4. Having ties that go back years to the Saudis then starting a war that benefitted the Bush Family, Cheney and the Saudis while thousands of Americans were killed.
5. Repealing EPA laws already made and those in the making so a select few can benefit with even more billions while thousands of Americans are dying of asthma every year.
6. Deregulation that put our economy in a crisis where everyone but the top 10% are effected.
7. Allowing medical care and medication to rise to such an extreme level that Americans everyday have to decide whether to eat or seek care.
8. Allowing illegal aliens into our country and letting them to use social services taking away care from all poor legal Americans. Leaving the taxpayers with the bill.
9. Having a political party backed by the money of Koch who has traceable contacts with Russia and now China. Then having another backer who has known ties to terrorist have every Republican sign a pledge.
10. Creating and encouraging such a disparity among the wealthy and everyone else that it is possible for a civil war to occur.
So Damage123 do you still want to talk about anti-American?
I hope other posters will add to this list.
Probably afraid Cheney would shoot him in the face if he didn't.
This was a very friendly audience, so no real challenge for Mitt. Let him try that in San Francisco, Chicago or New York, though.
As far as the Cheney comments are concerned, it is probably a net negative for Romney. Cheney is unquestionably a very smart and capable man. But his reputation is such that Romney isn't going to gain anything by praising him. Some view Cheney as the personification of evil. Not all do, but he is still a hot potato, three years out of office. Keep the praise for a controversial figure like Cheney muted. Fawning praise doesn't gain you anything among conservatives, and it may turn off independents and moderates.
The only people who view Cheney as the "personification of evil" are far-lefty moonbat idiots in the first place. Romney has no chance of getting the vote of that ilk anyway.
Cheney is smart and easily capable of manipulating the likes of Bush. He did it so well that Bush didn't even know he was being used in any way. Then Cheney shot a fellow hunter, yet he didn't even apologize. If Cheney ain't evil, most politicians would be angelic.
The shooting of his friend was an accident, which you knew, unless you are such a conspiracy-minded, tinfoil hat wearing dunce that you thought he did it intentionally for some reason. Let me guess...9/11 was an inside job, right? Better run down to your basement. The black helicopter is circling your trailer again.
So you're saying if you shot someone in your hunting party by accident, you wouldn't even bother to apologize? It doesn't have to be a conspiracy to warrant a @!$%#ing apology!
And 9/11 was done by Osama's gang. You know, the one that's called "Al-Qaeda"? The one that caused Americans to attack Afghanistan? They're still around, even with the ringleader killed in May. It's Al-Zawahri's gang now.
Damage123 It is Monbats... Half Monkey Half Bat... From Wizard of Oz.... But I believe in your point.... I do think Cheney's public image is too toxic right now though.... Mitt was my Plan B for the primaries.... Now with praising Cheney for Wisdom he's not even in my fave five....
Damage::: Dickless Cheney claims to be a hunter. Anyone who has a brain and claims to be a hunter knows that if you are going to shoot, you check first to make sure there isn't anybody where you are aiming for. And if you are going to shoot a bird in the air you aim for the air, not so low you shoot your friend in the face. His aim is LOUSY!
And that you don't hunt drunk.
"one of the most controversial political figures in recent American history"
Yeah, lefty MSNBC, whatever you say. Mr. Cheney was twice elected on a national ticket.
Something another of the "most controversial figures in recent American history"--Barack Obama-- won't be able to say.
Bought and paid for, stole 2 elections
When you elect someone, you focus on the presidential candidate unless there's a good chance they'll die in office. You don't vote primarily for the better VP.
Spartan501 is right. Our system was changed from the original Constitution. Read it. Person with most votes wins. Person with second amount is VP..... Pres. Obama and VP McCain. Think about it.
That could have been a decent way to balance things out. Less efficient, of course, but also less room for foul play.
Ben, Spartan -- That may have worked out back when politics were more civilized. Today it's about sinking the other guy's ship, with society in the crossfire.
Ben of FL.
People don't read the constitution they just spout out what they think is the constitution.
Actually in the current political environment a split President/Vice like the constitution had originally intended would have the Presidential Security team down with ulcers.
And Bob apparently forgot, the Bush/Cheyney duo DID NOT win the 2000 election, dems did, but then Bush went crybaby until the Supreme Court decided to make a decision, then the Bush/Cheyney duo bought that decision with political favors. So, actually they only WON a single election. DOH!
I was once a proud Republican of the Grand Old Party, and the G.O.P. was my home,
but that was before finding out that Mitt Romney considers the evil Darth Vader wannabe,
Dick Cheney, a "person of wisdom and judgement". Morally, I must now vote a straight Democratic ticket,
come this November 2012. I beg all my fellow Republicans to do the same and vote for Barack Obama.
All Hail Obama!
Ruler, Master, and Overlord of all Republicans and Teabaggers!
Is it something I said?
You White-Trailer-Trash Teabagging Republicans who always vote Republican,
are too stupid to be funny. You continually vote for these richest 5% of phony Americans,
because they preach Beans, Bait, and God to you simpletons, and then you gladly
send your own Kids to be used as "Cannon-Fodder" in their illegal, morally bankrupt, "Sin-Wars".
Are you Stupid, or what?
Repent, and vote a straight Democratic ticket come this November 2012 presidential election.
All Hail Obama!
Ruler, Master, and Overlord of all you stupid Teabaggers and Republicans.
p.s. Is this a Great post, or what?
Solid gold, Lamont, it is posts like yours that keep me coming back.
Holy Cow, come on -- Cheney has the lowest approval rating in history. The conservative wing-nuts criticize President Obama and never provide specific FACTS to back it up. Right-wing losers--stop crying like little school girls.
Doubling the debt,giving more than a half a half a bil. of our money to a solar panel co. who closes door less than a year later,unemployment of over 9%...still, still at Gitmo, extending Bush tax cuts,attacking Libya without going to congress first,tells illeagals that repubs are the enemy and they should attack their enemies,spent first year shoving Obamacare down our throats ignoring the fact we need to get people back to work,ignores the fact Iran is gettting nukes, ignores hostages in Iran,goes on bus tour of midwest but he was actually flying then gettting on bus just outside of the towns, ....there is more. Transparency,Rev. Wright,
Hillary 2012
What the tea party has done to the GOP is terrible. I want the old GOP back.
Me too, they just shift the whole political spectrum with their insanity.
There was a time within the last few decades when the GOP wasn't a bunch of nutcases. Most Republicans are idiots these days.
Yet, as recently as 2010, millions of Americans decided they want them in office instead of liberals. Strange isn't it. Ahhhh..I know. The 2010 elections were "stolen" right? Yes. That must be it. Anything to help you try to understand why Americans so often "vote against their own self interests". As if arrogant, condescending liberals know what someone elses "self interests" are.
Tell me, who is the Tea Party gonna benefit? It sure as hell ain't you. And if it somehow is, count yourself lucky, because they'll screw over everyone else.
Should we ask the question of how many of those millions that voted for Republicans in 2010, are now having voter remorse? I'm sure Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan and Florida are having serious voter remorse.
Sorry Ahetch, the republican party you long for is gone... The Paul Ryan's of the party will see to that. Him and Cantor are the young ideological zealots and leaders. It's now the tea party, but on the ballots it will just remain "republicans" for marketing purposes...
When Cheney left office his approval rating was,I think,19%..Great American????????The guy has no heart,no pun intended.....
Well he does. But it's a mechanical heart, like Darth Vader. Wait, Darth Vader was mostly mechanical but I think he still had a human heart. Scratch that.
Just one more reason I wouldn't vote for Romney. That draft-dodging sob Cheney needs to be tried as a war criminal. Also because of his ties to Halliburton and how he as vice-president protected Halliburton and his deferred compensation, Cheney is knee deep in blood of our military dead and wounded. The man is scum of the earth and anybody who supports him will never get my vote.
I'm sure Romney is shaking in his boots to hear that. And by the way, nobody believes you are a "Blackbelt Marine", ok? It's a common ploy of lefties to identify themselves on message boards as military members. They feel it makes them immune from criticism on issues regarding war and defense. Why don't you log out, start over, and tack on "disabled" to your name like this other Obama fanatic who's a regular on here.
If you have any idea what Cheney's done, you wouldn't vote for Romney anymore. He was one of the few sensible Republicans, up until now.
Damage, sure is jealous, cause he did not serve at all. Just like Cheney, his hero.
So basically we're down to 3 candidates that won't ruin the country: Barack Obama, Ron Paul, and Jon Huntsman. The latter two probably won't get far enough, so there's no better choice than Obama. He's far from perfect, but he's still better than most Republicans.
The rampant stupidity of the Right. As if everyone in the miltary is some faux American John Wayne clone and voted for Reagan. Not a one of ther stinking neocons who took us to war in Iraq had any real military experience. But oddly we don't see you attacking them here. I suppose you also believe there are "no athiests in foxholes" either? Or gays! Go back to your cave!
If I were a veteran (and to be clear I am not) I sure wouldn't be looking to the Right for assistance. Weird that we haven't yet heard a single Republican champion Obama's call for employer tax breaks for hiring veterans. That would seem an obvious beginning to bipartisan negotiations. An American disgrace that so many vets are homeless and left to rot on our streets.
That is because that tax credit for hiring vets has been around for a long time. And original ideas have more traction. The current President's "call" for them is more of a reminder.
Cheney has illegally pocketed billions in blood money.
He is literally responsible for the death of millions.
He is the Hitler of our generation.
Nice running mate, Mitt.
What a mistake. Cheney is a nut case.
I believe the psychological term for that is sociopath...
Bob loves Cheney.
goodbye to my independent vote - why in the world can't Republicans be reasonable, moderate people. If Cheney was the leader of a foreign nation the US would be calling him a war criminal. Perhaps he water boarded Romney.
It is no different than the Democrats. The extreme right and left control the two parties leaving the majority of people who sit somewhere in between out of luck when it comes to candidates who actualy represent their views. What this country needs is a party of Moderates.
Uh, because the latest bill that's full of spending AND tax cuts is extreme??? Sorry, the progressives aren't controlling the Dems anymore, they're too afraid to.
Mitt would sell his own child if he could make a penny.
Isn't it terrible how mean people our to poor old man Cheney, I mean how could you demonize someone who is willing to sell our freedoms for our safety. People should never forget the disgusting policies imposed by the Obama administration like trying to lower taxes on the working class at the expense of the underprivileged upper class.
Bazinga.
Never forget. Everything bad that happened to america in the last 11 years is solely and purely Barak Obama's fault. Anyone who tells you different is drinking the Lamestream Media Kool-aid.
Mitt said Cheney has "knowledge and wisdom, the kind of guy I would want as a VP". Wow that is huge! Cheney tossed Bush under the bus along with a lot of other people, Condi and Colin, just to mention a few. He is evil, a ticking machine heart. You do not need to be red or blue to know that. We better remember that statement, he just showed himself, believe it.
Bob, he was voted in once. The Court gave him the election the first time. I think you forgot that.
Goldwater....Cheney. Neither ever served as President....(at least in the light of day). And some of us can probably thank God for that.
Both are history and both are gone. Best wishes to those that subscribe to what they believe the policies of either may have been had they been in the position of Commander-In-Chief....and a sigh of relief from some who may have felt otherwise.
OMG! Mitt thinks Cheney has good wisdom and judgement! God help us all! If that heartless man's power wasn't taken away from him in 2005 by a wiser George W. Bush then Cheney would have had the opportunity to start WWIII much to the industrialized war machines delight! Don't get me wrong. I don't care for W. either. But at least he did show and use some wisdom in 2005 by removing all power from the Vice President and banish him from meetings. Is Mitt going to give him more influence? OMG!
Dubya was a conservative, gullible idiot. Cheney was an evil manipulator who might have turned out to be a megalomaniac if he was President.
Can you imagine? Cheney as President?
You know, I don't know why people compare him to Darth Vader. Darth had a heart and eventually sided with good.... no, Cheney is The Penguin, just missing the top hat and monocle.
Shoot, you remember when Al Haig tried to take over the government when Reagan got shot? I think Cheney was plotting in the basement after 9/11...
No kidding? Tell me more about this. Certainly the press release didn't say our VP was a war monger so he was barred from meetings? How did they explain this one?
Mr. "sends American jobs oversees"Romney praises Mr. "deficits don't matter" Cheney. LOL
Deficits only matter to the party who's not in charge and when the money is being spent on things they oppose. If the GOP retakes the WH, I'm curious as to how fast Boehner, Cantor and McConnell abandon their concerns about the debt?
wherearethejobs
That's why Obama is better he has accomplished both of those by himself. Two for the price of one ,real savings. The Obama Stimulus Plan.
Hillary 2012
Debt? what debt? if they get back in the white house. They will be too busy gutting SS, medicare, cutting taxes and deregulating...
You know, most real live prostitutes have more character and integrity than the whores like Mitt Romney running for the presidency.
Agreed. Bad apples are the minority in most professions, but they're the majority in politics.
charleyb==I agree with you. I think of the economy as some what akin to a person that has a bad case of venereal disease and will take a very long time to heal. Such as what Bush gave us after he screwed America.
yeah, at least that actually do the jobs they are paid for...
