Ann Romney's testimony

[_moksha]

ETA -- Glenn Beck hates Romney. Shouldn't that count in his favor? :)

Well that takes the wind out of my sails. I was hoping that Romney would appoint Glenn Beck as the White House Press Secretary, so he could explain Romney policy on a white board with markers.

You are probably right, Kish. When it comes to US politics I have become incredibly cynical.

Listen, I am sorry, sethpayne. I was very excited for Romney in the beginning. He seemed like the kind of moderate Republican and technocrat I could vote for. I was super pumped by the idea of a Mormon president. I am proud of my roots. Furthermore, I have found the anti-Mormon jabs against Romney vile.

But what I have seen from Romney has completely turned me off on him, and I regret it for all Mormons. I am embarrassed for all of us, and I haven't felt that way since the W years. I just don't want to go back to the same level of cynicism and hopelessness I felt at that time. Watching Romney in action is like reliving it all.

The Romney campaign is a cynical affront to the basic principles of democracy.

If Romney and Obama do not appeal to you, you have a perfectly respectable 3rd party candidate in Gary Johnson to vote for. That goes especially for those looking for an economic conservative and social liberal.

i notice that neither of the alledged lies you cite came from Obama or the Obama campaign.

as for the many outright lies put out there directly by Romney, here's a partial list:
- claimed Obama is going around the world apologizing for America.
- claimed Obama is ending Medicare as we know it.
- claimed Obama is ending the work requirement for welfare.
- claimed Obama didn't mentioned the debt in 2012 SOTU.
- claimed Obama is trying to supress military voters in OH.
- claimed Obama has not signed any new trade deals.

Yeah, I noticed as well. Anyone claiming "Obama does it to" ought to quote Obama.

Jaybear and Palerobber. I did not say Obama made either accusation. I simply noted what I think are innuendos, lies and distortions coming from the left. That said, campaign staff in the Obama camp have fueled the innuendos from Reid and they have lied about the facts and not being aware of the husband in the add about the wife who died. And Obama has not disavowed the add.

Palerobber thank you for the examples.

I think both sides are really stinking a lot in this campaign.

You know it is funny.... I visited :

And was with GJ at around 87%.

I find isidewith to be fairly flawed. Still, I got a 96% for Gary Johnson. My lowest of all possible candidates was Mitt Romney at 52%.

Interestingly, Gary Johnson wins the electoral college handily among those who use isidewith. Romney wins four states.

I get GJ 65%, Jill Stein ( who is she?) 65%, Romey 58% and Obama 56%. Surprisingly I get Democrat 70% and Republican 52%. I guess my two liberal partners at the office who say I am a closet liberal are correct.

84% Obama. Jill Stein (Green Party) 72%, GJ 63%.

That was fun. I scored 94% with Jill Stein, whom I never heard of before. I suppose part of the reason I'm so harsh on Mitt is that I only scored a 13% with him.

That's impressive. I don't think I've seen anyone score that low with anyone before.
