2012 Presidential Election: Romney vs. Obama

It always matters, Batman.

 

Agree. When the parties are in relative balance, we get a moderate approach to government, which, IMO, is best.

There's a boring interview over at HuffPo from a judge that went to school with Romney and Obama talking about the upcoming debates between the two and how Obama is going to smoke Rmoney in the debates. I won't post the whole article but this one quote jumped out at me.

Barthwell also said he and those who know Romney are "baffled" by the latter's conservative views on the campaign trail, calling the governor a liberal-minded person whose father was a "social liberal, almost a civil rights champion."

He actually stands up for Rmoney in the high school incident.

outside of its small core, Austin is pretty similar to the rest of the state

 

there was no reason for Dems to vote in the primary.

 

If you are serious when you call for moderation and then spend time actually working with the Tea Party, you are either dumb or crazy. There is no other possibility.

Obama has governed as a center-right moderate. Virtually everything he has proposed could have come from Bob Dole or Ronald Reagan and you treat him like some fringe monster.

Don't pretend to be some kind of reasonable. It looks really bad on you.

 

See the post beneath yours. And "think, people!"

Dumb dee dumb dumb dumb

 

We have a fundamental difference of opinion there, Deckard. An existential one. Nothing actually "matters." But voting for a Democrat in Texas matters even less than that.

 

Yes, we have a fundamental difference. No worries. You won't change my mind, and I doubt that I could sway you.

 

The way you insult people around here I find it hard to believe you have any friends.

 

My guess would be that Batman has far more friends than you, friend.

 

I meant that as a joke, friend!! Liberals have no sense of humor.

 

I have a million friends.

 

I was just having a little fun Batman.

 

I would never try to persuade anyone to my point of view on that. That would be stupid and mean.

 

No worries, I didn't take it bad. I do have way too many friends though.

 

If you want a "moderate approach", then why are you aligned with the extremist tea party?

 

Tea parties are as different and diverse as the American people. You would never know that because you have a view of them that has been carefully shaped and molded by the media. Actually, the commonality that binds tea partiers is the desire for balanced, intelligent spending by government, keeping government from out of our lives as much as possible, and love of country. If you only knew...

 

I work as hard as I can against the Obama administration because it certainly is not anywhere near the realm of "center-right moderate."
