I like him myself. I'm just honest about him. He's applying for a job. I'm the one who is making the hiring decision along with my colleagues, other Americans, and we're discussing his application. Do we hire him or to we renew Mr. Obama's contract for another 4 years?

How about neither? I'm in favor of a hostile takeover by the workforce.

Then what is the motive behind "sitting around reloading machines and shooting ranges to correct the mistakes of those who are voting"? What are those voters going to do to you that you should need to do that?

I believe that it's about Right and Wrong. When the voters make the Wrong choice things need to be corrected.
 
I think Romney is more moderate/centrist, not really a liberal though.

So exercising their right to vote, a constitutional right, is null and void when you don't agree with the outcome and then you are judge, jury and executioner?

Realize I don't believe most people should be allowed to vote in the first place.

What's important to realize here, is that your beliefs are not the law of the land, the constitution is, and so therefore you have no authority under which to enforce them.

Unfortunately that document no longer has any value in my mind.

Your values do not determine its worth, validity or authority. Or lack thereof. Which again causes me to say, you have no authority under which to act against the lawful voters of this country.

Your endorsement of Andrew Jackson, I presume. Ironic you don't think most should be allowed to vote.

I have to take the Romney-Bot at his (most recent) word. He is promising a "Sever Conservitive" agenda if elected. He knows how to create (offshore or if you prefer out sourced) jobs. He likes firing people. He want's to kick people off "ObamaCare" on Day one, which will be a busy day for him, if elected, as there a whole bunch of stuff he wants to eliminate on Day One. :peace

Presidential scholars skeptical of Romney 'Day One' promises

Posted by
CNN National Political Correspondent Jim Acosta

Washington (CNN) – If he wins the presidency, Mitt Romney will be a busy man as soon as he arrives at the White House.

In two of his latest ads, both titled "Day One," Romney lays out an ambitious agenda for his first 24 hours in the Oval Office.

– Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @PoliticalTicker

The second "Day One" spot vows a "President Romney" would begin cutting the deficit, "stand up to China" on trade and begin ending what the ad calls "job-killing" regulations on businesses. Add all of that to the promises Romney made in the first ad: approve the Keystone Pipeline, start the push for tax cuts and initiate the end of "Obamacare."
 

No such thing as being a little pregnant, Huh.
Well as a lefty, his tax policy, anti-abortion, anti regulation policy, Chicken Hawk war mongering, & general pro-wealth, anti working class posture ("Ryan Plan is fantastic".) excludes him from being a liberal or even moderate. :peace

Which means he's not a Conservative at all. Being Liberal on even one issue makes you a Liberal in whole.

That's fine. If you believe Liverals have standards you're not worth talking to anyway.

you know Tigger-I have very little use for many so called liberal values which I believe are better termed reactionary parasitic statist but to make a claim that Liberals don't have standards is just plain STUPID

many of them actually believe that a bigger government that redistributes income helps people. Many of them believe that keeping people free from religious based bigotry (an area where I guess I am a "liberal") is good. And I can easily support the standards of saying gays should be treated the same as the rest of us-be it in military services or benefits accruing to their "significant others"
 
The mere existence of this question speaks volumes, as does the fact that lefties regard him with humor while righties hurl invectives his way. Mitt is, of course, neither. Nor anything in between.

So what captures the essence of such a drifting, toxic, shape-shifting, manure-spewing, transparent invertebrate?

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the illustrated Romney:

No. Romney is not a liberal because Romney is inherently nothing.

Romney will say and do anything to be President. He has no beliefs other than he should be President.

sort of sounds like most of the politicians these days. Romney has never engaged in the bash the rich BS that Obama is banking on to buy the votes of the envious, the wannabes and the never wills

That's not entirely true. There is a large percentage of Conservatives who dislike him cause he's not one of them on any social issue and if he is, he certainly didn't act like a Conservative during his tenure in Massachusetts. While he did this out of "necessity" is irrelevant, Romney simply didn't act conservatively for many on the right.

mainly the grand inquisitor types from what I have seen

on economics he is more conservative than Santorum (social fascist, fiscal socialist) or Newt (big government, big bucks from government)

How would you measure "more conservative"? Would you call RomneyCare conservative? What about his earmarks? Were they "conservative"? I'm sure just a browse down Romney's career in Massachusetts would show he's not all that different from the other guys running for the GOP.
 
He's a corporate friendly centrist like Obama, who will basically say anything to get elected(like Obama).

Of course he does not do this. The guy is RICH for heavens sake. He represents the selfishness of entitlement who feels that the nation exists to help him stay rich. Like so many of his selfishness brethren, they would screw the nation and its people just to beneift themselves. And the last decade is proof of it.
