Romney and Reid should handle this like men with a drunken fist fight. We all would win.

There's a reason(s) why Reid won't release his tax returns. Someone pull his TR already. He's not honest with his fellowman nor will he stop affiliating or agreeing with groups (the Democratic party) opposed to the Church.



Yup. The very fact that Reid thinks he can get away with tarring and feathering Romney, on his word alone and bereft of any empirical or documentary evidence, while having engaged in a number of questionable financial dealings himself, is testament to this man's fantastic ego and arrogance.

Reid will, at some future time, eventually be exposed for who and what he really is. I'm not calling for his excommunication (not my call), but pointing out that his conduct as a public figure is leading him toward that very brink if he doesn't get a handle at some point on his power madness and sense of self-entitlement as a Senator.

I don't see any similarity, but, as I've been told so often here by many liberals, "Its an election year."

I'd rather prefer that scene at the end of Tales from The Crypt (1972) where a door in the rock wall of the crypt opens up and one of the Ralph Richardson's guests plummets screaming into a vast, bottomless fiery pit.

That would take some substantial SFX ability and some great software to accomplish, so I'll have to pass on putting it up here.

And anyway, Met, given the horrid and baseless moral slanders hurled for several hours at Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan last night at the DNC (and that was just warming up - two nights to go), I'm not likely to say anything here approaching the combined fury of a stadium full of cornered Morlocks.

The Democrats can feel the approaching landslide on Nov. 7 in their blood, and they're more desperate and overheated than I've ever seen them during my entire life following politics.

Maybe. But I'm pretty sure I've seen those red hills in Bryce Canyon.

However, it's not that believable that either place would be anyone's "ultimate" destination. Both of them are usually a temporary stop on the way to somewhere else.

So do "many liberals" define your behavior, Droopy? Are other people are responsible for your personal code of conduct? Are your statements someone else's responsibility?

And do you not consider calling someone a "she-wolf" or a "dog" a smear or defamation?

in my opinion, it’s more-so a testament to the (rather sad) fact that this type of political tactic has been and continues to be successful -- albeit he usually reserves it for State politics (and always in years he isn't up for re-election... people tend to have short memories).

By Mormon standards nothing Reid has said is a lie.

But this doesn't even begin to compare to Romney's morally bankrupt campaign that keeps relying on one explicit lie after another. How does one explain these kinds of deceptions? They can ONLY be by design. Intentional. Here is Romney's latest attempt to snag a remark out of context so he can lie about what Obama actually said.
