Romney Presidency...........Day One

[Guest]

In a new campaign ad, Gov. Romney's campaign has released a video with an extremely positive message and vision.

Maybe it's some real and actual hope for a better future.

It made me actually smile when I watched it. (especially envisioning the frowns on the faces of the left)

Nice political ad. It was not negative and it was short!

The part about introducing lower taxes, etc sounds good but once again, it will have to get through the House, committees, and the Senate and probably would not be recognizable after all the changes - if it ever got through.

The Keystone Pipeline sounds good, too. However, is the technology advanced enough to make it worthwhile with the Athabasca Sands?

The repeal of Obamacare may be one of those things that you do not want once you get it. It's repeal would hurt many, many Americans including many people right here in The Villages.

Willard is very lazy. That's nothing. Newt would:

repeal Romneycare...
repeal Dodd-Frank .....
repeal Sarbanes - Oxley .....
Approve Canada-US oil piipeline ....
Abolish all WH czars ....
Shift US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem ....
Halt all US aid to groups that fund abortions overseas .....
repeal every act of religious bogotry by the Obama administration .....

ALL of the above by the end of Newt's first day. After all this, he will then be able to go to the inaguaral balls.

Willard is gonna have to do a lot more to top ole Newt.........


Too many burros ....

He cannot keep these promises though realistically. President Barack Obama had the same problems with promising too much in his campaign of 2008.

"Obama promised too much..." implies a measured presentation or accountability for promises made.

Politicians talk, say words, adjust what is SAID to suit the audience and say words that get support and then it is off to the next audience and what they would like to hear.

Obama and the current congress (that is R and D) are consistently categorized as making promises....they don't. Their record is proof that they say words, and do not make promises.

It is interesting that people viewing the same thing walk away from it with a different perspective.

First, I do not believe Obama promised too much. I believe Obama's deficits made he and his Administration incapable of planning and developing legislation that was realistic and attainable. Obama is not a leader. Ask any manager what happens if you ignore successfully selling an idea before its implementation. Its going nowhere or it will fail along the way if it isn't supported.

Mitt Romney is the first person in the political arena that has once again given me hope that we can once again return as the moral and superior leader of nations. Romney is right when focusing on solutions. He is doing what a great leader does...leading by example. His motives are unselfish and are a benefit to us all. We can once again take pride in being Americans. This guy is already having a beneficial affect on this nation, a nation that has longed for a visionary leader with a moral compass .

I think the immediate approval of the Keystone Pipeline and a country-wide state waiver for Obamacare, to stall it's entrenchment while the repeal effort is started, are two extremely positive steps toward an actual boosting of our economy.

This in contrast to the smoke and mirrors economic improvement on paper, that the Obama Administration touts, that is really people dropping out of the work force and giving up looking for work.

Give Romney a Republican Senate to go along with the Republican House and then he'd be on an even keel with what Obama had rolling into the presidency, and then you'd have a fair comparison.

Williard's chance of getting to the White House still depends on who he picks for his VP candidate. If he does a stupid thing like John McCain did in 2008, the race is lost AGAIN.

Pick a moderate instead of one from the looney bin and he has a possibility. However, many of the teapartiers will not go along with a moderate and want some wingnut that will bring the GOP back to a losing place once again.

Oh Boy! Nothing like a Liberal offering advice on who a Republican picks as a running mate.

How is crazy Joe working out for you. Yea I know, "That's just Joe".
But Barry can't do a thing about it. Cause Joe's mother told him he could be president some day....and he could be Vice President. Geeze what a nimrod.

Let's see. By "crazy Joe" I assume you are talking about the Vice-President of the United States, who was elected to the US Senate seven times starting at age 29, served as Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Is that the "crazy Joe" you mean?

Contrast his record to John McCain's pick to be one heartbeat away from a 72 year old man: president of the PTA, Mayor of Wasilla, AK (pop 8000) and half-term governor of Alaska.

VP Biden has traveled the world meeting with world leaders. Former Gov Palin doesn't know why there are two Koreas and can't find Germany on the map. Her own handler, Steve Schmidt, said she knows nothing.

I don't often agree with buggy, but he is telling the straight poop on this one. Romney needs to find a moderate Vice or Chance a loss in Nov. For sure he needs to stay away from the Virgina nut case. He would be worse than Palin or Sanitarium. I feel confident he will pick someone like Rubio.

Joe is working out just fine as VP - thanks for asking. He made The Wasilla Quitta look like a fool in their debates. Granted, that is not very hard to do.

But, he serves his purpose as VP.

Senator Marco Rubio has more baggage than Newt Gingrich. He can't remember when his parents emigrated to the US, and he's being investigated by the FL House Ethics Committee for fraudulent credit card use, which he says is just a matter of reaching for the wrong credit card. Unfortunately, this happened over and over.

This was not his doing as he was just a child, but his family were Mormans for a time when they lived in NV and doubtful there could be two Mormans on the same ticket.

The only legislation he has put forth so far is the Blunt-Rubio Amendment which would have allowed employers to determine what health care a women can recieve had it not failed in the Senate. His immigration bill doesn't seem to be gaining much steam.

Probably the biggest reason Rubio won't be picked is because Jim Greer, former chairman of the republican party, is going on trial in FL just about the time the Republican Naional Convention is starting, and Rubio could be implicated in some mischief or at least called to testify. Mitt Romney would not want someone with that notoriety on the ticket.

Mean while back to the thread...while Romney runs this ad, the Obama team continues with the one that is mocked all over and is so full of lies, CNN commentator took it on....

"CNN's Ashleigh Banfield took Obama spokesperson Ben LaBolt to task on Tuesday when she questioned him about a new ad released by the campaign that criticizes GOP candidate Mitt Romney's leadership record at Bain Capital.

The ad features interviews with several steel workers who lost their jobs while Romney supposedly led Bain Capital. Banfield said it was "heart-wrenching" to hear the steel workers rip Romney's leadership "when in fact he wasn't at the helm when that company went bankrupt." She then asked, referring back to the ad, "Was that fair, or was that dirty?"

LaBolt maintained that even when Romney left to help organize the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, he still owned Bain and profited from the company.

"You and I both know he was not managing the company at that time," Banfield charged. She asked if it was "unfair" and "dirty" to highlight one plant that was already failing during a time when the steel industry was at its worst. She pointed out that "business is complex, and it can't be boiled down to simple black and white that easily."

At the end of the interview, Banfield told LaBolt to "keep it clean out there for heaven's sake. We hate that crap on television."

The man does not know how to tell the truth !!! Too bad he didnt learn truth telling from his mentor of 20 years...it just never sunk it thus he tells Rev Wright...that his problem (Wrights) was that he had to tell the truth all the time !!!!

Too bad he never got mentored on telling the truth !

On the real side, though,

Has the technology been proven to ensure the oil that could be gathered from the Athabasca Fields be transported in a method that would be practical to the consumer?

The Keystone Pipeline would do no good if the oil was so expensive it could not be sold.

What method of extraction would be used at the fields?

Have no idea on this but the only objection I have ever heard was one of environment !

AMEN .....he obviously has been lying like this for a long time and it is now a habit..

"Apparently Obama and his administration operate under that old, underhanded adage that if you tell a lie long enough and loud enough it becomes "truth" because Obama has done it again by lying about how his jobs bill was to have been instrumental in the repairs of bridges that span the Ohio River.

Back in September President Obama had another one of his campaign rallies disguised as a press conference in downtown Cincinnati in front of the Brent Spence Bridge, a span that connects Ohio and Kentucky. At that time he claimed that his jobs bill and stimulus money was to pay for much needed repairs on the bridge. Afterward, newspaper fact-checkers in Cincy as well as Washington DC noted that Obama's claims were simply untrue, no stimulus money was going to any of the bridges over the Ohio river, much less the Brent Spence.

The crossing of part of Nebraska was an evironmental issue but that can be solved by crossing other parts of the state with a pipeline.

Read about where the oil would come from and you might start wondering about final costs of the oil. It is not as simple as drilling a well straight down into a pool of oil like in Texas or Oklahoma.

It is very interesting this can be done at all and is very amazing to say the least.

At one time it was financially impractical to extract this oil. That seems to have changed, which is why it's looked on in a whole new light.

Our methods are more advanced, and the oil has increased in value.

Let the markets decide, you don't have to.
