HELEN:
Margaret, tell Howard he is, in fact, correct. I have never met Mitt Romney. I have no idea what is in his heart. I am just a fat, old broad who speaks too much and probably should keep some of her opinions to herself. When Mitt says: I respect and will protect a woman’s right to choose… Roe v. Wade has gone too far… I am pro-choice… I am pro-life… I never really called myself pro-choice…When I am asked if I am pro-choice or pro-life, I say I refuse to accept either label… I assume he is a liar. But I actually don’t know for sure he is a liar. He could just be a dumb ass who is confused. Maybe I should just call him honesty-challenged. At least that way, one of his robotic sons won’t haul off and hit me… or shave my head like his father does to those who disagree with him.
I’ve read some of the comments here. I get it. I drank the Kool-Aid so why listen to me? I am just a dumb liberal who doesn’t watch Fox News and therefore hasn’t a clue. You shouldn’t listen to me.
Instead you should listen to someone who really does know what is in Mitt’s heart. Let me introduce you to the woman who has been washing his underwear for 43 years. Well I am assuming that of course. She could have outsourced the laundry duties. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Ann Davies Romney:
“Mitt has always been a pro-life person, he governed, when he ran, uhmm, as pro-choice…”
That would be an exact quote. It gets a little complicated after that because Ann finds it hard to make that shit sound truthful, but basically she said that he was pro-life while he campaigned as pro-choice . Then he got elected. Once elected, Mitt realized that he couldn’t actually govern as pro-choice because, in fact, he was pro-life. So then, and only then, he let everyone know via an editorial in the newspaper that, in fact, he was exactly the opposite of what he campaigned. He was Pro-No Choice. Of course, now he is back to needing women to vote for him so he is willing to be pro-choice-ish again. It’s confuing, I know. Ann has always had a problem separating her whites from her colors.
Let me see if I can wash Mitt’s underwear better than Ann. Mitt misled the voters. He campaigned one way, knowing he was exactly the other way. Unlike Tagg, Ann has no problem calling Mitt a liar… I’m sorry… She has no problem that her husband is a dumb ass… Sorry again… I meant to say that she has no issue with her husband being less than honest. Settle down there Tagg.
Ann may not have a problem with her say anything husband, but I do. I have a problem that the man running for the Republican candidate for President is willing to lie to 100% of the women in America. After all, it’s one thing for him to not care about 47% of the population, but we are now talking about 50.4%. He’s running out of people to be honest with.
I have a problem that he has no issue with misleading voters. I am proud to be one of the 47% (give or take 3.4%) who will never be on the Romney’s Christmas card list. Yes, I checked… just in case you are not familiar with the religion, Mormons do celebrate Christmas. Other than the whole getting your own planet when you die stuff, they actually aren’t as unusual as many want to make them out to be. For instance, Mormons believe in the Ten Commandments too… but clearly the Romney’s are a little lax on that Ninth one.
I am no longer afraid of Tagg Romney despite my lack of Secret Service protection. Your dad is a dumb ass liar. Bring it on, son. I mean it. Really.
MARGARET:
I relayed the message to Howard and he says that Ann Romney and those women on The View are a perfect example of why women shouldn’t be in politics. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go remind Howard that he doesn’t drive anymore and therefore will have a problem getting to the polls in a couple of weeks. We women have voter suppression methods of our own. And don’t worry about that Tag, dear. I hear the Romney boys just play war. In the real world they stand on the sidelines and send the 47% to do the heavy lifting.

Here are some photos of Ann grabbing Mitt, like I asked about earlier. Isn’t it sort of weird? It went on for a couple of minutes and went from looking like awkward affection to just weird.
I wish the photos of Ann in her swimsuit weren’t on there. Dislike the woman and her politics but that’s just unnecessary.

Isn’t it ironic that the Tea Party is helping the Democrats? All they have accomplished is to splinter the Republican party. As for Ann Coulter, she’s a skinny blonde female Rush Limbaugh who’s laughing all the way to the bank. I hope the undecideds realize that if Robme gets elected he won’t be the “I agree with you, President Obama” they saw last night. In fact I don’t think Robme even knows who he is or what he stands for at this point. He’ll need handlers to tell him what to think and what to do; someone like Karl Rove or Dick Cheney. UGH!

Hi UAWTradesman – just the person! I need some guidance on barn heaters. What I’m looking for is a professional/commercial grade infrared heater rated for indoor/outdoor & wet conditions. I’ve been looking at a lot of the heaters for cow/horse/pig barns but would like some feedback from a person who actually has livestock/barns. Any thoughts? Budget limit is $700.00 unfortunately because I’ll need to purchase two.

I think it is time for some people to just go away–permanently, people like Ann Coulter. Ann Coulter just referred to President Obama as a “retard.” It’s impossible to say how offensive such a remark is on so many levels. When will the media have enough of this woman? Why is she constantly on television, why does anyone care what she says? She has crossed the line so many times. Enough is enough with her. She has forfeited any right she had to be taken seriously.

Hi all, glad I am in time to see greytdog’s latest resurrection! Margaret and Helen, you’ve written some brilliant posts this election season, I have really enjoyed reading them. Is it too much to ask for more? I look forward to what you thought of last night’s debate.

Jean, I agree about separation of church and state. I’ve heard of priests telling their flock to not vote for anyone who approves of abortion for any reason. I thought that churches that used their pulpits to influence an election would lose their tax-free status. Is anyone paying attention to that?
Religion has been used and abused in this election. I’m a Christian and I’m appalled at the slings and arrows that have been aimed at Obama. A Muslim born in Kenya?, that’s pathetic. I have to admit I was embarrassed to admit being a member of the same denomination as G. W. but I wouldn’t have wanted anyone to question his faith. It’s walking the walk not just talking the talk.

I was sorry to hear of my passing. It went totally unnoticed at my house. But then we’ve been pretty busy these past months. But for those of you saddened by my demise, please in lieu of flowers, donate $10 to President Barack Obama’s campaign. And to everyone else: Fix your bayonets, and Please, proceed.

Did anyone see after the debate when Mitt was leaning down to shake hands with people? He looked very stiff, like maybe he has a bad back. I am not criticizing Mitt’s age, but it did show as a stark contrast to Obama squatting down to talk to people – came off as much more engaged and intimate. Obama looks people in the eye, while Mitt looks like he’s always looking at for other people behind the person he’s talking to. What really caught my eye was how Ann was clutching at him. It looked so weird. Was she trying to make sure he didn’t fall? Did she want him to be standing by her side? I really couldn’t figure it out. Did anyone read that better than I could?
Michelle looked tired. I like her better in bright colors! But at least the she and Ann didn’t show up in matching dresses this time. That was pretty funny.
I saw Paul Ryan on TV this morning. He usually looks so healthy and energetic but today he looked AWFUL. I’m not sure if he was sick, or just exhausted. Or defeated! All he had was tired talking points about how Obama said nothing specific. Did he watch the debate with the sound off? Obama was specific and Mitt agreed with him!

About those horses . . . when we first went into Afghantistan there was a very limited use of horses to get to very high mountain locations but that was about it. A close up of the native horses would show you that they are undernourished and just not beefed up enough to carry an adult American male with a 40 pound pack. And bayonets are becoming relics what with the use of drones and rifles that can hit a target at the most amazing distances.

I think folks generally saw what they wanted to see. What I saw matches with what John Kerry said – Romney came off as the Wikipedia candidate. I have to say that he was a far better study than Palin. He’s not stupid! It was odd listening to him lecturing the President on what the administration ought to be doing when it’s exactly what the administration IS doing. And it’s working pretty well so I guess they’re both right and there is no point in changing from the guy who IS doing what the new guy claims (today) he would do.
I have to wonder about all the R’s that voted for Romney in the primaries over the other R candidates. Are they wondering what they’ll get? Or do they have faith that Romney will eventually change back to the candidate they endorsed? “Anyone but Obama” isn’t a strategy, just sayin’.

Romney looked seasick during the whole debate. He obviously didn’t know what he was talking about. He completely changed hos tune on many topics, proving once again he has no core principles. Obama won hands down.

Holy cowbells! Essentially Romney endorsed Obama on foreign policy. Conclusion: Obama won this debate, too.

Romney looked like a deer caught in the headlights. I am sure that he reminded many of odd little man that he appeared to be during the primary debates. He lied like a rug and looked like a fool.

I am sure glad these debates are over! Mitt was kind of a little different as usual, compared to the primaries, less ready to go to war with anybody that crosses us. In that he did not disappoint, flip flopped as usual.

No Terry…
Republicans feel that 13 yr old girls should be playing dodgeball instead of giving “Lewinski’s” at recess….
not all republicans feel that their money is being stolen and greedy but alot believe that people should have some resposibility for their actions….
I realize that some 13 yr olds become active sexually but does that mean that I should condone 95% of 13 yr old becoming sexually active and should I also absolve the parents of any responsibility……HELL NO…..

Sydney you are a very intelligent thinker..I am a practicing Catholic..but I do have my days when I question too..Right now in Minnesota we have a Amendment to our Constitution on the ballot which would prevent Gays from marrying. The Archbishop, is leading the cause by raising money to support this amendment..he has turned into a bully threatening clergy with dire consequences if they speak up against it. We have one brave priest who refuses to keep quiet..What ever happen to separation of church and state??

Religion should stay out of politics..I have a neighbor who won’t vote for Obama because she insists he is from Kenya and is a Muslim..I have just quit talking to her until after the election..and my husbands nephew..who usually votes republican says he doesn’t have a candidate because he won support a Mormon who does not believe in heaven, believes they will have their own planet when they die..i have never heard such nonsense from two people I use to think had some common sense.
