No pops we are in the middle of the pack due to the short shrift this country gives to education...and your longing for a regular guy sort of President has already been done to death....there is no way to go less intellectual than Bush....pardon me if I take exception to your wishes to go down that fucked up road again.Just because you are a simpleton,and you prefer one like you in the Oval is no reason for the rest of us to jump off the cliff with you and your like minded brethren.Give me an exceptional man in the White House....much more preferrable than another Bush lightweight.



Oh sure, that's what it's all about, let's spend another $100 B on education. Let's not stop there! How about half a trillion?
You know, they did a great job in the 50's and 60's with a lot less money.
Hell, there are still people alive today who went to one room school houses and got an outstanding education.
Well, if you want an exceptional man you must be REAL happy with this goon in the W.H.
I want a good manager because, they're going there to work. I don't need or want to know anything about his/her wife or children or even if they have any and I only want to see him or her twice a year on the News.
I imagine Anthony Weiner was called "exceptional" or "the best and the brightest" too! And now everyone wants him to quit. Do you think he'll stick it out?

I know that but it doesn't matter. Most people did not vote yay or nay because they thought Obama was Muslim and I don't think most people are going to vote yay or nay for Romney because he's Mormon but, it could be that I over-estimate my countrymen. I hope not though.

Actually, that's why it matters. He wasn't. No problem. If he were--that would have been a huge problem.

That Romney felt the need to give a speech about it last time 'round indicates that he, at least, feels in this case, it matters.

So, is it your belief that we still have too much bigotry in this country to elect someone based on something other than religion? Is it the last taboo?

If that is true then we are still infants in our union. Time for us to grow-up.

Not sure how to make that happen except by setting an example to our own children then have patience.

Status: offline 		If someone wanted to impose Mormonism similarly to the way the Christian right does,I wouldn`t vote them just on that.

Otherwise it doesn`t bother me.Mormons are some of the nicest people I`ve ever met.Not kidding.They seem to have a happy/nice gene or something.

But as pointed out by Mark,the Christian Right may not come out for a Mormon.Or a Jew or a Muslim.And they are a major GOP voting block.

I don`t think Mitt will win the primary.

Yes, especially Muslim.

No, it's not the last taboo.

The provision to make everyone buy or have some sort of insurance was a concession to republicans during committee negotiations of the health care reform bill and was an idea originally pushed by Mitt,when he was a moderate republican.


The June 6 issue of the New Yorker also discusses this in "Romney's Dilemma: How his greatest achievement has become his biggest liability. Ironically, Obama was against the individual mandate while campaigning in 2008 and had to be talked into it in 2009.

Romney supported the individual mandate as "upholding the Republican value of personal responsibility."

Pay attention to Perry if he gets in. I think you'll like him.


I like him but he carries a bit of baggage too.  He favored in state tuition for illegal immigrants as I recently heard and what ever else I don't know yet. Must be what it takes to get elected in TX.


And Perry wants to reserve the right for Texas to secede from the Union. Won't that make great ads for his competitors? Muahahahahaha.

To answer your previous question I did mean Romneycare, thanks Wilb... You're wrong about Perry, he never said what you're saying he said.

Perry suggested Texans might at some point get so fed up they would want to secede from the union, though he said he sees no reason why Texas should do that.

Your source, which is crap btw.

It wasnt my source, it was the OPs Oleblowhard link. Watch it. As usual for KO, Perry didnt say what KO claims he did.

It would be a great lesson for the US if they did. Texas is the only state to show economic growth and is responsbile for something on the order of 1/3 of all private sector jobs created since the recession began.
