   Last good Republican was Ike.

   Anyone else remember nixon and agnew, both resigned, in disgrace. Sure don’t need any additional republicans in any office.

   Well, there IS one more thing he couldn’t bear to hear…

   Willard, you have to release your tax returns.

   He’d drop out of the race in a heartbeat.

   I agree. It’s refreshing to have a candidate who finally tells the voters the truth, unlike Obama.

   
   Romney has made it very clear that he’ll more than balance the budget by slashing taxes, and that there will be enough left over to teach Iran a lesson they’ll not soon forget while still running a large government budget surplus.

   
   And we can be sure this is the absolute truth, since Romney has had Ryan, the budget wonk, check all the numbers.

   Question on Progressive radio on Monday – which president started an agency to protect and improve air and water quality, enacted protections against injuries for workers, worked towards getting families a living wage, worked towards getting insurance coverage for the poor? NIXON. I’d LOVE to see a Republican with ANY of those ideas today. Funny, Romney believed in health coverage for the poor at one time, BUT NOW they can just go to the ER.
   Think about the type of person who wants to be president – they are looking to be the world’s most powerful person. Watergate and the secret tapes were about keeping power. Believe me, I’m not defending Nixon’s actions. Just trying to bring a different perspective.

   Your sarcasm is a little subtle there…

   Thurston Howell R’money is being cut off from his allowance by his rich donors, the only thing that can bring out his emotions.

   Agnew was a crook, and Nixon was not conservative, though he was a republican true. But at least they had enough scruple to resign, or be forced out by their party. What is your excuse for Clinton not resigning, or Reid who is as corrupt as they come.

    No doubt you opposed Kennedy as well since he had to listen to whatever the Pope said. I grew up surrounded my Mormons and though I find their religion very odd, they are good hard working people as a rule, who have good strong morals and care about people. That should be what matters, not the peculiarities of their faith.

    I’ve always thought it ought to be the law that if a person runs for federal office, he has to let the voting public take a look at his income tax returns. For example: the four previous years for anybody running for the House, six for the Senate, eight for the president. I love how Toles makes little Mitt seem like a rubber toy here, all ready to be flexible (read flip-flop) even in the midst of his crybaby tantrum.

    While I appreciate your tolerance, Kennedy clearly stated that he would not put papal decree before the best interests of the American people. Has Romney so stated?

    I was a child when Kennedy ran. I don’t think he believed his underwear protected him from evil or that he did more than pay lip service to his religion, he certainly didn’t in his sexual practices. You wouldn’t say that Mormons have strong morals if you were gay and it’s only recently that they’ve stopped dehumanizing blacks, look it up. Romney is dangerous on many levels, especially if you’re a working person. Since Reagan began trickle down the middle class has steadily disappeared; that’s a fact. The disparity in wealth has grown and Romney is in there to complete the transition to a plutocracy; look who his backers are. I stand by my assertion that the voters should be made aware of his weird beliefs and his pledge of allegiance to the elders of his church which comes before all else. By the way, my friends left the Mormon church because they found it to be immoral, and they know better than you or I do what really goes on.

    “He should just make up crap and promise the world to every voter. Hey it worked 4 years ago.”
    .
    Yeah, except he didn’t!
    .
    I kept saying to my fellow Dems back then that he “didn’t say that” when they’d say that Obama was going to do this and that and the other thing.
    .
    People were so fed up and so in love with the idea that they were living in historic times they heard things that Obama never said.
    .
    And he deliberately didn’t say those things. He was/is the master of letting you think he said something he didn’t.
