How many of us want to be defined as something we did when we were 18? I I know I don't want to. Can't you come up with something more recent to slam the man on?

You mean, now that the bully has grown up into someone who likes being able to fire people? Who invests in companies that fire Americans and ship their jobs to China? How about his multiple-choice Romnesia, where every debate a different person arrives with different policies? He was the first person to sign ObamneyCare, then suddenly he opposed it when Obama signed it, then he forgot that he promised to repeal the whole thing and then announced he'd keep parts of it after all. It goes on and on. As his fellow Republicans said just a few months ago, he is literally the worst candidate in America to challenge President Obama.

How many are still in prison into their 20's and 30's for lesser crimes they committed at 18? They aren't governor's sons though.

And, how many actually brave American soldiers have died at 18, and would die if "tough guy" Romnesia gets a chance to bully people all over the world? Bullies aren't brave, but they pretend on TV by sending other people's kids off to die in war.

And, I seriously doubt you committed assault with a deadly weapon at 18.

My brother killed a cat once when he was 12. I have hated his dumbass ever since that day.

You anti-Romneys are spewing hysterics in your arguments! You must be desperate. You mean to tell me that men are in jail for roughing up some guy years later? You must not live in California. They've released them all.

I think a sign of a wise person is one who can be flexible to the change in times. Obama has done that a little, but he is truly a man out of his depth and out of his time. The time is not to be a liberal/socialist pansy who wants to make friends with those "nasty" Middle Easterners. It's time for leadership.

Under federal law, nonviolent drug possession can draw sentences longer than a decade, even the death penalty. It makes $$$ for the prison industrial complex, all paid for by deficit spending.

What in the world are you talking about? Do you remember who killed Osama bin Laden? Do you remember W saying he didn't even think about bin Laden anymore? It was Governor George W Bush who hosted Taliban representatives in Texas to talk about a gas pipeline. It was President Barack Obama who killed Osama bin Laden.

Obama killed OBL all by himself? What stud!!! But yet he won't see the Premiere of Israel because he is busy doing the "View."

I don't hate Mitt Romney any more or less than any other politician. I just thought it was a fun slideshow.

MsBennet says

Obama killed OBL all by himself?

No, but he succeeded where both of his predecessors failed.

MsBennet says

There are plenty of Israelis who would not meet with Bibi Netanyahu. The President of the United States works for the people of the United States, not the Haredim faction inside Israel. American Jews prefer Obama over Romnesia by a margin of more than 2:1. Romnesia's enthusiasm for Netanyahu results solely from the "donations" he's received from Sheldon Adelson (who preferred Newt Gingrich in the primaries) and the merchants of war.

I do think Romnesia is worse than any nominee of any major party in many years. Fellow Republicans called him their worst possible nominee, and that's true. I disagree with ObamneyCare, but it makes no sense to replace the second person who signed that thing with the first person who signed it.

I don't know about any donations to Romney that you speak of, but at the time my "common sense" was the prez should see the man. Israel are not one of "our closest allies" in the region, as Obama likes to say frequently. They are the ONLY ally. God, get real, please.

MsBennet says

They are widely reported and easy to find, for example here.

MsBennet says

They are, actually. That doesn't mean they benefit from American presidents genuflecting before the Haredim though.

MsBennet says

God, get real, please.

You are asking God to get real, simply because you've lost a debate? Now you are the one who sounds desperate.

I am saying just because I don't know of donations to Romney doesn't mean they didn't happen. I am saying I go by my own common sense, which is what you are going by when you make your decision as to who to vote for for prez and determining the wisdom of the person you are voting for. Someone doing something when they are 18 is different than what something a grown 30-year-old man did, writing a book about their mentor (Rev. Wright) who is a racist and Jew hater. (And going to his church for 20 years.) Then abruptly leaving the church when it was no longer convenient.

MsBennet says

Actually I try to go by evidence. Do you have any evidence to support your accusations against Reverend Wright? And, do you really want the debate to drift into the candidates' religions, when Romnesia is a fanatic cult member?

It's too bad Romney doesn't have the powers of the presidency and a liberal media juggernaut to cover up, ignore, or spin every inconvenient detail of his background.

It is so much better to have a president who can suppress and create gapping holes in his resume!

Would you hire somebody in an important job that couldn't or wouldn't account for large segments of his associations and activities for years? Democrats would!

Liberals are so enamored of their pet delusions, they vote for ghosts!

Actually it's Romnesia who may have committed perjury to conceal his whereabouts and activities for years, and who refuses to disclose his tax returns for the years in question. He apparently committed voter fraud in Massachusetts, claiming to live in his son's unfinished basement. He also appears to have committed securities fraud claiming to have been principally occupied as the CEO of Bain Capital in Massachusetts at a time when he later claimed to have been totally uninvolved in Bain due to his full-time role in Utah lobbying for the largest federal bailout of an Olympics in American history. So, in this instance, multiple-choice Romnesia is the ghost in the room, can't remember where he was or what he was doing there, always shows up with different answers depending on what suits his ambitions.

I think the key word is "may have".

In elections, I think they call it a "Hail Mary" libel.

Ceffer says

I think the key word is "may have".

I'm not sure what you mean. I said "may have" because he hasn't been charged (yet). I presume people are innocent until proven guilty, even said the same about Sandusky until he was convicted. That has nothing to with hailing Mary or anyone else. I'm not sure whom you are accusing of libel, but such a serious accusation would require evidence. The Romnesia campaign has not accused anyone of libel.

Well, I don't think he's worse than Bush Jr.

I do think there's increasingly less in the way of meaningful contrasts between the two parties -- so much so that it almost boils down to a matter of packaging at times.

Politicians are really pretty gross. I very much detest them all, with only subtle deviations here and there.

I want to see the pictures of Romney lighting his farts. That will really lose the election for him.

I thought the Romnesia campaign should have ended with the video of him saying his job was "not to worry about those people," i.e. the 47% of Americans who "refuse to take responsibility for their lives" because they haven't received as much $$$ from government as he has. Of course, I thought previously it should have ended with the "anywhere but America tour" of where he moved money and jobs in order to enlarge his fortune and avoid paying taxes on it. And, previously, I thought it should have ended when his fellow Republicans declared him their worst possible nominee, with polls showing he would lose to the incumbent while Ron Paul polled ahead. I understand voter frustration in 2012, and I hope it will lead to more votes for independent candidates, but I can't understand anyone outside his immediate family voting for Moron Romnesia.
