The Official Mitt Romney Thread III

[Thundercrack85]

If you're pro-life, you should be pro-birth control.

The more birth control, the fewer abortions.

The irony becomes overwhelming when people on the right bash Margaret Sanger for founding birth control clinics, even though she was vehemently opposed to abortion (on moral grounds).

Then again, given the people who now use her image (pro-choice groups), she's most likely rolling in her grave anyway.

The video was posted on (Jan 11, 2012) and currently has 1,881,808 views. No wonder Libertarians didn't show up to vote for him at the polls. That Ron Paul ad was deadlier than anything Obama through at Romney.

I never understood why people would be against birth control. But then i realized that I forgot that...

Well most who are against birth control are mostly against the government providing it in any form, only the extreme religious zealots are against it period.

Personally the way I look at government provided contraception is in the long run it saves alot of cash and isn't that a good thing. I assume the counter argument falls under 2 categories the first is I am guessing many also look at it short term and say why is the government spending on peoples recreation, the second would be it indirectly promotes having sex and sex outside of procreation is a sin. I am guessing some might also look at something like the morning after pill as abortion

This video really makes you wonder if he has schizophrenia.

You see politicians flip flopping all the time... but to this degree?

Naaah. His Political personality is 100% false. It's just window dressing for people . He tries to make him self into what he believes people want him to be in the moment which is why he flip flops so much. He completely changes off camera.

So was the Republican primaries. I saw a clip of Fox News saying part of the reason Romney lost was because Obama was soooo mean, and cruel. That it was "voter supression" because the ads made ppl not want to vote Romney....Did they watch the Republican primaries. They hit Romney worse there then anything Obama threw at him.

Personally though, the election is over, and the news has talked why he lost to death. There's about 1 million different reasons given. Personally I wish Fox would stop giving excuses, MSNBC would stop rubbing it in ppl's faces, and they'd both move on to more pressing, and current matters.

BTW, I think Rove calling political ads voter supression is the most hilarious thing I've heard this election cycle. Given that his party has challenged voters rights repeatedly, passed harsh voter ID laws targeted towards minorities and the poor saying the laws will help Romney win the white house, and canceled early voting for several days. It's like a 5 year old boy pulling on his sisters hair, and when she slaps him back he goes crying to his mom that his sister is being a bully.

Not to mention it was Romney's campaign that put out some of the biggest whoppers. They put out the ad of Obama saying McCain said, "If we talk the econmy, we lose", then edited out the prior sentence to make it sound like Obama was saying it. Put out the Jeep ads. Put the ads out saying Obama removed the work requirement from Welfare. I know I'm forgetting one more just as bad, but drawing a blank, lol. Point is Romney was every bit as bad, if not worse on ads. So if Obama's ads were voter supression, what were Romney's?

The thing that annoys me the most about the "voter supression" or reasons for how many votes Obama or Romney got talking points I hear on the right, it completely ignores their is millions of votes that still have to be counted.

I was trying to make a joke, did anybody click the link in my post? It's a funny Monty Python video dealing with this issue.

Ultimately, I think pro-life groups should not protest forms of birth control that prevent conception, even if the government pays for them. I Understand why they would be against the morning after pill. I don't agree with the, but at least I understand them.

That video says that only Catholics hate birth control, every other christian sect is perfectly fine with it(should be pointed out Obama narrowly won the Catholic vote). lol

 

[Sun_Down]

If you're pro-life, you should be pro-birth control.

The more birth control, the fewer abortions.

Also, less crime, less poverty and less overall suffering for mothers and children. But hey, no reason to let logic into the conversation, right?

This was really hilarious. They really can turn anything around on the other side, can't they? It takes some serious balls.

Mitt still thinks 47% of America is free-loaders. We dodged a bullet with this guy. It's not that he's not a smart guy, he just doesn't get it. He just doesn't get that not everyone is born with a silver spoon and can get just get help from dad's friends. And somehow, someone who is working poor, but can't afford insurance is a free-loader, while corporations who take advantage of tax breaks and loopholes are just doing smart business.

Obama, Romney argued, had been “very generous” to blacks, Hispanics and young voters. He cited as motivating factors to young voters the administration’s plan for partial forgiveness of college loan interest and the extension of health coverage for students on their parents’ insurance plans well into their 20s. Free contraception coverage under Obama’s healthcare plan, he added, gave an extra incentive to college-aged women to back the president.
Romney argued that the Obama’s health care plan’s promise of coverage “in perpetuity” was “highly motivational” to those voters making $25,000 to $35,000 who might not have been covered, as well as to African American and Hispanic voters. Pivoting to immigration, Romney said the Obama campaign’s efforts to paint him as “anti-immigrant” had been effective and that the administration’s promise to offer what he called “amnesty” to the children of illegal immigrants had helped turn out Hispanic voters in record numbers.

“The president’s campaign focused on giving targeted groups a big gift — so he made a big effort on small things,” Romney said. “Those small things, by the way, add up to trillions of dollars.”

Yep, to think we were this close to getting that. We are lucky.

When a corporation abuses and uses the system that is just good business. When a struggling human being needs help to eat that is theft. Dont you know this?

 

[Thor The Mighty]

Mitt's a entitled *****ebag and i'm soooo glad he did not win. He and Ryan blames everyone else besides themselves and the terrible platform they were running on. Their campaign was one of the worst run that I have see, I mean if they can't run a campaign how do you think they would have governed? Btw Ryan blamed urban voters (race code) when he could not even carry his own state that has small population of minorities, he didn't even win his home town.

I'm against the use of birth control and I certainly wouldn't describe myself as an "extreme religious zealot."

It's never wise to dismiss minorities. Even less wise to dismiss women as a voter bloc. There are more women than men in the United States. And they do not forget slights.
