Intolerant radical liberals getting worried

Tribune endorsement: Too Many Mitts


Obama has earned another term

Nowhere has Mitt Romney’s pursuit of the presidency been more warmly welcomed or closely followed than here in Utah. The Republican nominee’s political and religious pedigrees, his adeptly bipartisan governorship of a Democratic state, and his head for business and the bottom line all inspire admiration and hope in our largely Mormon, Republican, business-friendly state.

But it was Romney’s singular role in rescuing Utah’s organization of the 2002 Olympics from a cesspool of scandal, and his oversight of the most successful Winter Games on record, that make him the Beehive State’s favorite adopted son. After all, Romney managed to save the state from ignominy, turning the extravaganza into a showcase for the matchless landscapes, volunteerism and efficiency that told the world what is best and most beautiful about Utah and its people.


In short, this is the Mitt Romney we knew, or thought we knew, as one of us.

Sadly, it is not the only Romney, as his campaign for the White House has made abundantly clear, first in his servile courtship of the tea party in order to win the nomination, and now as the party’s shape-shifting nominee. From his embrace of the party’s radical right wing, to subsequent portrayals of himself as a moderate champion of the middle class, Romney has raised the most frequently asked question of the campaign: "Who is this guy, really, and what in the world does he truly believe?"

The evidence suggests no clear answer, or at least one that would survive Romney’s next speech or sound bite. Politicians routinely tailor their words to suit an audience. Romney, though, is shameless, lavishing vastly diverse audiences with words, any words, they would trade their votes to hear.

More troubling, Romney has repeatedly refused to share specifics of his radical plan to simultaneously reduce the debt, get rid of Obamacare (or, as he now says, only part of it), make a voucher program of Medicare, slash taxes and spending, and thereby create millions of new jobs. To claim, as Romney does, that he would offset his tax and spending cuts (except for billions more for the military) by doing away with tax deductions and exemptions is utterly meaningless without identifying which and how many would get the ax. Absent those specifics, his promise of a balanced budget simply does not pencil out.

If this portrait of a Romney willing to say anything to get elected seems harsh, we need only revisit his branding of 47 percent of Americans as freeloaders who pay no taxes, yet feel victimized and entitled to government assistance. His job, he told a group of wealthy donors, "is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."

Where, we ask, is the pragmatic, inclusive Romney, the Massachusetts governor who left the state with a model health care plan in place, the Romney who led Utah to Olympic glory? That Romney skedaddled and is nowhere to be found.

And what of the president Romney would replace? For four years, President Barack Obama has attempted, with varying degrees of success, to pull the nation out of its worst financial meltdown since the Great Depression, a deepening crisis he inherited the day he took office.

In the first months of his presidency, Obama acted decisively to stimulate the economy. His leadership was essential to passage of the badly needed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Though Republicans criticize the stimulus for failing to create jobs, it clearly helped stop the hemorrhaging of public sector jobs. The Utah Legislature used hundreds of millions in stimulus funds to plug holes in the state’s budget.


OH SNAP!!!

woot!

or should i say when you changed your preferences when it became obvious that the person you were making threads about and supporting on here could not win the primary?

by the way i forgot to add newt to that list above... :oops:

It cracks me how some people who label themselves conservative have a problem with Prius (or should I say, Prii?) The Prius is much more conservation oriented than, say, a Ford F250. Conservatives should love the Prius- the best car out there for conserving non-renewable resources. In fact, one of the most (politically) conservative people I know drives a Prius. He's no fool- he knows gas will just keep going up.

well we are very intolerant...of things like racism and sexism and classism and such. We should really be more accepting. Shame on us :nono:

HOOT!

Now I'm having visions of usamamasan1 driving down a dark lonely road in his Heavy (not sure what that is...but assuming it's a big truck?)...in his rearview mirror he catches sight of a Prius following closely behind him. He continues on and when he glances in the mirror again he sees the horizon is covered with Priuses (Prii?). He tries to accelerate...but his Heavy is just to heavy. Suddenly he's surrounded and comes to a stop. He looks around him and sees the drivers of the Priuses (Prii?) are all wearing Romney masks. The first driver gets out, tears off his mask and his identity is revealed: PoD! As Bu$hleaguer starts playing in the background the other drivers get out and slowly reveal their identities: whygohome, brianlux, Zoso, CBG, PJ_Soul, Drowned Out, Catefrances, Chadwick, Snakeduck, Peacefrompaul, Binaural Jam, G under P, Redrock, Gimmie, Byrnzie, Cliffy, Thirty Bills, etc etc. They all break out into dance...something out of West Side Story or the Thriller video. It's a dance off! Usamamasan1 reveals he has some formidable dance moves, but he is just outdone. He is danced into submission...his WOOT is weakened...he must succumb...he gives in a drives off in a Prius of his own...Bu$hleaguer blasting from the speakers :wave:

Sounds like you must be having too much fun already this week end, comebackgirl! I love it!
