I saw a couple tapes where Mitt was recorded in conversations between segments of radio interviews just arguing his viewpoints with the interviewer, and it reminded me of old arguments with cokeheads who had that cocaine intelligence telling them they just had to be right. I ain't saying Mitt is coked up, but if he acts that way naturally that can't be a good thing. That mindset doesn't let little things like facts bother them, and the only possible interpretation of any evidence is theirs. We have just had 7 years of that shit, and it's enough.

TO: Ex-Gov Mitt Romney January 21, 2008 Continued

Correction I was recommended to work for Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara in 1964.

I thought with Christmas the economy was boosted and not that long ago President George W. Bush said the economy was good and I belive this was before an election. How does a few dollars help anything. I'm an amateur on economy though. Yes, it's true too that if you reduce tax dollars this will enhance the American economy. From Pres. Reagan's Theory in book. From America's Own Story by Vanza Devereaux 53.

Let me add that Elliot Liebow, Jewish Anthropologist, writes in his '93 book,"Closing down shelters in Wash DC and in cities around the country is criminal,self-defeating, and dumb. Welfare givs meager money. Capitalism has been generous to many, but has treated the poor badly thus the Government should step in and take a more active role in helping the poor."Liebow'93 A decent living wage and indexed to inflation would help the low-wage and poor families. Stop throwing bouquets of flowers of forgiveness to home owners, and help the poor and the job seekers.Liebow'93.

TO: Ex-gov Mitt Romney January 20, 2008

Ref: IT'S A LIE THERE NEVER WAS MONEY SPENT ON PEOPLE IN AMERICA:

Well, join the group. You too want to buy the American people off with money and the greedy ones will do so. How about spending your campaign money and explaining out more or using Powerpoint Presentations to explain your money solutions or tax reductions for Social Security! You'll still care for the Blind,Deaf,Disabled,Aged I hope. I'm an amateur when it comes to economy, but I sure know when people are suffering,in pain. You do not. In the following let me tell you:

I had quit evil,corrupt jobs as Christian as discovered scarce food,job resources in U.S. In may lawsuit of 97 to all Courts, the Courts,my reps did nothing. Florida,no Welfare Albert Sanchez letter to me Feb97. 3 wk shelters,Miami. Orlando,Fla shelters charge money. Here in Bay Area 6 counties Welfare is 3 months with 20% exc if job problems.


Silicon Valley,Peninsula scarce shelters,Dennis,veteran, gave me form Oct 05. Only Glide Church,Sfc gives breakfast,3 meals. SF Rescue Mission provides no restroom M-F sup. Companies make you pay to use restrooms. Shelters shorttime. Other cities no Welfare. Los Angeles 5 mos. San Diego no Welfare as Mr. Herlee and Mrs. Floretta Murphy write recently in my Report 97. Elliot Liebow book '93 book confirms my lawsuit.

The Bible states in non-canonical Book of Daniel that the Prophet Daniel stated,"You fools for you condemn a woman when you don't know her or the facts." Please be a decent,chilvarous gentleman and remove Time Limit from Welfare Reform Bill of 1996 your not a God who knows all problems of life that exist. A male prostitute gets his money, but we people as myself do not live that kind of lifestyle so we need programs as Welfare and Social Security to turn too. God and Jesus would approve of that!

It's nice to see a reporter actually being a reporter and not just a recorder.

Finally, journalist are acting like journalist and asking tough questions. Romney is the rude one in this exchange. If he cannot handle be questioned by a journalist, is he going to break down and cry when Putin tells him NO.

What's RUDE about it? The reporter demanded a straight answer....and more of them should.

Now here's a really RUDE QUESTION...

Why are Romney's Staffers trying to block the Recount of the Republican Primary in New Hampshire?

Here's what's "Goin'Down"

At the present time there is an attempt to have a recount of the votes of the Republican Primary in New Hampshire.

Those attempting to have the recount raised the required $55,600.00 online using a PayPal account.
The money in question was transferred to the account of the Secretary of State of New Hampshire but approximately 5 minutes after the transfer, the money was withdrawn from the account of the New Hampshire Secretary of State and returned to the PayPal account¦..

Now what could PayPals" reasoning be for the reversal of the deposit?

According to a spokesperson for PayPal " After the deposit to The State of New Hampshire, a deposit was made to the PayPal account in the amount of one thousand dollars by a person or persons with an Islamic Sounding Name"..This caused PayPal supervisors " to suspect a connection between the origination paying for the recount and TERRORIST ORIGINZATIONS"

The account of the organization paying for the recount "has been frozen, and will remain frozen FOR UP TO SIX MONTHS while PayPal conducts an INTERNAL investigation".

I smell rodents¦

(Also smelling rodents, maybe the New Hampshire Secretary of State,who granted a one day extension for payment, so that a "White Knight" could be found to loan the $55,600 to the group seeking the Recount)

Let's play Connect The Dots

Who owns PayPal? PayPal is owned by Ebay

Who runs Ebay (and therefor PayPal) ? a Ms. Meg Whitman, CEO of Ebay (previously in the employ of Bain Capital)

Would that be the same Ms. Whitman who is the Finance Chairman of the Mitt Romney for President Campaign?

One and the same¦.Now the question is¦

Does Mitt Romney and/or his staffers, have something to fear from a recount in New Hampshire?

If so,it must be more than we can imagine!

Perfect Orwellian example of double speak. But then Orwell never talked about people who have double hearing for whom this is reasoning...

It's great to see someone who knows how to hold a candidate's feet to the fire!

Oh Mittens you're such a kitten.
Did you munch your litter for brunch?
Oh Mitten we're not smitten.

Warning to diligent reporters: "Don't get argumentative with the candidate." He might get a hissy fit and mess his hair. Poor, poor Mittens. Leave my Mittens alone! He's so misunderstood.

Congrats to the Reporter.

We need more questions asked of the candidates and

not fewer.

Give this guy a promotion to the White House Press

Romney regularly gets grilled over every little word he uses, while this reporter makes a loaded statement that's demonstrably false.

Romney points out that his demonstrably false statement is false. States the truth about who is actually running his campaign, and the libs here blame Romney for setting the record straight while they lionize this reporter.

Whoda thunkit?

Conservatives can't help themselves: by definition they kowtow to money. They gladly and subserviently lick shit off the boots of the likes of Romney.
