Romney, bush jnr, Bush Snr, McCain, etc - all born with silver spoons in their mouths.
Born into money and priviledge.
Obama had none of that.

Tatanka - "What did Obama do of any significance before becoming President?"
He wasn't a Republican.

"Romney" "Coherant Policy Position"
Nothing in particular. I just wanted to see if JT's system could deal with those words side by side.
Vote for Mitt...the Job Cremator.

"If I don't win the primary Saturday, we will probably nominate a moderate," the former House speaker said, referring to Mitt Romney. "And the odds are fairly high he will lose to Obama."
Nice to see that at least 1 GOP candidate knows the writing's on the wall.
Time for conservatives to close shop and focus on 2016.
Perhaps a Cain/Bachmann ticket? :-)

This is like suffering through a movie where you know the ending 10 minutes in and you can't leave.
So the GOP has a multiple cheater, a guy that bankrupts companies, and a guy that is willing to let people die that don't have insurance.
What a great choice.
Time to give up and focus on 2016.
Perhaps a Perry/Palin ticket? :-)

"Gingrich said he would “reassess” his candidacy if he lost in South Carolina and acknowledged that a Romney victory would mean “an enormous advantage going forward.”"
Why not just do a Cain and "suspend" his campaign?
No, he should do the honorable thing, do a Palin and QUIT.

JeremiahW - "Sushisake 3 thinks independents = libertarian. That is funny."
No, what is funny is how you make up totally unsubstantiated claims out of thin air and post them as 'fact.'

Jeremiah - "Don't forget it is independents who rule. They decided the 08 election. They will decide it in 2012"
LOL! Haven't you noticed the 1%-controlled media is effectively controlling this one?
Questions for you: Ron Paul has done real well. Why is he STILL failing to get any decent coverage in the press?
Oh yeah! It's because of the "independents." That must explain it.
No, seriously, Ron Paul hasn't been getting any bigtime press coverage due to decisions made my media execs re: who they are going to air news about.
This has next to nothing to do with "independants."

I find it amusing to see Republicans/conservatives who didn't have the time of day for Mittens now swear with passionate zeal that he'll crush the president in the general election.
Those GOPers really know how to fall into line.... LOL
The funniest thing about this is that all us “Global Liberals” knew it was going to be Mitt waaaayyyy before the vast majority of conservatives could wrap their brain cell around it. Everyone else in the primary was/is nuts so us Libs shouldn’t forget to feign terror of Mitt to help conservatives feel good about themselves. :-)
Honestly, the naivety among conservatives is very, very impressive.

Jeremiah: "So I guess if you think Huntsman is the only sane, intelligent, well-spoken, principled guy in the race Mitt Romney is who you want now."
??? That logic is weird. It's like saying if you support Hitler you'll want to support Pol Pot.
But I know you were only joking.
Seriously though, it seems clear now that American conservatives are hellbent on humiliating themselves in front of a laughing world.
Mittens: Has done an about-face on every single social issue in the book.
Newt: Where do you even begin to discuss this guy's flipflops, hypocrisy, wife-hating, black-denigrating, Palestinian-denying 'tude?
Perry: Makes GWB look intelligent - and that's impossible.
Santorum: The social candidate. But how will banning abortion and sodomy create jobs? Rick has still to address this.
As I think I said last week, conservatives wear ignorance and stupidity as a badge of pride.
Rome's burning and they can't even smell the smoke.
Footnote: As I am not even an American, I acknowledge I have NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER to post comments related to U.S. politics on this Japan-based website, amen!

Huntsman....the only sane candidate in the race.
Now all we are left with is a bunch of clowns.
Conservatives should feel right at home.... :-)

I admire GOP/TP job creation strategies for their simplicity.
When the president and Democrats propose a job creation strategy, the GOP/TP simply say "N."
That's simple.
America needs more patriots like conservaties......

Why haven't the GOP/TP folks supported any of the president's job-creation proposals?
Don't they want to create jobs?
Oh sorry, the GOP/TP just want to make the rich richer and help pad the "job creators" offshore investment accounts.
RomeoR - "Obama now wants a leaner government? This the same guy who's asking us taxpayers to pony up another $ trillion for his giveaway scams.
Like fixing your roads, highways and investing in renewable energy. Yeah, that's pointless - why would Americans want their roads fixed? Why not just throw away another couple of trillion dollars of borrowed money on another foreign war like conservatives always seem to want to do?
Go Romeo - always "patriotic." :-)

Jeremiah - "All of the super smart people mocked them and dismissed them. But you are correct, It was the TP voters who got their guys into the Senate and it was the TP that killed Hope and Change."
And it's the TP that is splintering the Right, and both the GOP and TP that is kicking hard-working Americans in the guts by not supporting any type of job-creation legislation whatsoever.
Add to that, the Right's "Cut taxes!" mantra is idiotic almost beyond belief - GWB cut taxes and look what happened - recession. Seems conservatives have extremely short memories.
The current crop of GOP/TP representatives has been the most destructive, anti-American political group in recent memory.
Game, set, and soon match to the Democrats.

smithinjapan - " I actually respected Gingerich for announcing that he was not going to run a negative campaign."
Personally, I was floored he could be so naive. He's been around in U.S. politics for decades and has been the author of a lot of mud-slinging and negativity himself. To think that he even for a moment thought he could differentiate himself by 'going positive' was funny even before he tried it.
"A 28 minute video attacking a candidate instead of spending the time talking about what you propose and would do for the nation is just sick."
Agreed. All it does is hide the blatantly obvious reality that when it comes to plans and strategies to move America forward, the conservative Right doesn't actually have any.
Almost as sad, it seems conservative voters don't even care that their representatives are clueless.
In fact, they wear ignorance and hate as a badge of pride.
Amazing to see U.S. politics sink so low.
Americans deserve better.

Jeremiah - this has nothing to do with parliamentary or caucus systems and everything to do with bad judgement and a lack of credible choices.
I would hope most JT contributors are smart enough to understand this.

Pretty funny - the GOP nomination has proven the old adage: If you can fool them once, you can fool them again (Cain) **and **again (Bachmann) and again (Perry) and again (Newt) and again (Santorum) and again (Mitt).
Where I come from, anyone who falls for stuff that many times would probably be on the funny farm.
In America, the same types are fans of Fox News. :-)

And in other breaking news, scientists on Thursday announced that the sun at the center of our galaxy is 'very hot.'
"The sun at the center of our galaxy is very hot," said professor Bailey of the Hot Sun thinktank based in Boston. "I recommend people do not go near it without appropriate safety equipment.".....

Heh, the GOP trainwreck continues lurching toward the cliff.
Pretty pitiful that there's conservatives out there who actually think Mitt (or someone else) actually has an ice cube's chance in hell of winning.
Whoever wins in the GOP primaries is going to see their career flushed down the toilet quicksmart.
