The Real Mitt Romney

Because the President, and his appointed Secretaries, have all lied, big time, right to my face. (well, the TV).

I live fairly close to the Mexican border - I KNOW when the illegal crossing have resulted in Kidnappings, murders, and other serious crimes.

I don't appreciate Napolitano (Sec'ty of Homeland Security) coming down here and saying "the border is safe" - right after a murder by the drug cartel, of a US citizen, on a lake near the border, in broad daylight.

And I know Obama did NOTHING to save our Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi, and others. For chrissakes, they had phone calls, email, real time video from a recon drone, and military assets just a short hop away at Aviano, Italy. The attack lasted OVER 5 hours (some say up to 7 hours), and still Obama did NOTHING!

He's a damn criminal for just sitting on his ass and not trying to help them -- they were OUR people, damn it! He had us fly thousands of missions to save the people of Benghazi from Ghaddafi, but he can't even fly ONE to save our Ambassador?

WTF??

A photo was released today showing the President in the Situation Room, studying the progress of Hurricane Sandy.

Well, WHAT was Obama studying when our consulate was being attacked and overrun and our Ambassador was being killed?

Actually, a few posts further down, a very telling remark by you helps me understand some of the factors that influence what I hear you saying. When you talk about hearing it on conservative talk radio, I had an epiphany. I, too, listen to much of that same stream, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Sean Hannity, ... I hear their programs, and also their programming. It is not a good source for knowledge, nor for quality information. There's plenty of scaremongering there, lots of slander, meanness, and especially emotionally charged opinion making. And, I have to say, lots and lots of commercials. They are, after all "obscene profit making" enterprises. They are in business to make money, and they do so by keeping you tuned in through the commercials.

Nothing wrong with that, but it's useful to know what their motivations are so that you can more clearly understand what they're saying by knowing why they're saying it. By making scandalous teasers, then breaking away for a commercial, you are likely to hang around to find out if The Donald is going to finally tear away the veil of secrecy from Obama's muslim/foreign/traitorous past.

They have an agenda, and they're implacable in the pursuit of that agenda. Promoting Romney is merely expedient for them, but they make full use of his celebrity for their own purposes. They pander even more than Romney does, but at least you can turn off the radio. With Romney, god forbid he is elected, we'll be stuck with him.

As I've stated previously, i won't listen to Limbaugh anymore, because his ad hominem attacks are WAY over the top.

A little trash talk is understandable, but not NEARLY as much as Limbaugh does. Last I listened to him, it was 80% trash talk. I won't put up with that.

I do listen to Mark Levin, and Michael Medved. They are sharp thinkers. Also, Roger Hedgecock, when he is discussing politics and not personalities, is good. As the former Mayor of San Diego, he resonates well. Nobody else knows more about politics in America, and how it works, on the radio.

Far from an ideologue, I'm a pragmatic guy - if it works, I like it! If Obama care worked - had a hope of working - I'd support it. Same with all the other crazy CA and liberal policies and laws, we have.

If they only worked - but they don't, or they don't work efficiently. Efficiency is very important, because we can't just throw money at our problems - we don't have enough of it, and shouldn't be wasting it.

To be kind, they're very wasteful, and big time liars. I neither need nor want, our fed gov't to control every damn thing in my life.

Anybody remember what liberty and freedom were about?
