It sounded like a good one. Bryan at Hot Air was in on it as were Amanda Carpenter, Jim Geraghty, and Captain Ed. They all have great summaries…….

We say, “No to occupation!”
We say, “This is still our continent!”
We say, “Europeans are the illegals–since 1492!”

Except there is some debate on whom was actually the first people in the Americas and stone tools found in Pennsylvania might point to the Solutrean neolithic (Stone Age) culture from southwest France.

And the fines to Bechtel were…?
You are one of fanatics that drive people from Mitt.
I am not surprised you did not understand my example…it wasn’t meant for you…if I was writing to you, I would have typed a lot slower and used little bitty words.
You love Mitt, and I understand that, if anyone gets in the way of your love, you throw all you weight behind your argument.
But what you didn’t get, but all the others did, is that someone can have what you perceive as wrong opinion, but that does not make all of the opinions wrong. His running away from Reagan in the heat of a battle is one example, and that is enough for many conservatives to see that he is really no different then McCain in his conservative views. He just hides it better. He never fined Bechtel any real money–as one insightful poster said, he brought Bechtel to justice, he fined them and prosecuted them, $1,000 fine from the court (that’s what a women’s life is worth Bechtel) he raised taxes (and many fees), he almost balanced a budget…oops, he almost balanced a proposed budget, and cut spending, oops, he cut spending that he over projected, and then claimed he cut it because his estimates were off a little, just a couple of Billion or so.
But you know all that, and love is blind…he has no faults, his hair, those dashing good looks, the way he looks at you, you know what I mean…I mean, he is practically a God to some, and will be to others one day. Your future could be sealed by his fate.

He also highlighted the endorsements he has won from National Review, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham and several conservative bloggers…

As opposed to McCain’s endorsements by the likes of NYT and the Governator.

Interesting, two – three days ago I emailed Romney’s guy and argued he had to start doing these. Don’t know if that factored into it, but today he did one himself. No offense meant to Romney’s web guy – but I think some of the Pro …

GoodBye and Good riddance, maybe we will win the house and senate back.

Thanks, buydanish, for proving my point, bias comes in many forms…you just wrap yours in faux indignation…and Mitt loses because his supporters only fight the two items.

right2bright on February 1, 2008 at 5:06 PM

It’s not “faux-indignation”. In addition to your lengthy manifestos about Mormonism, your claim about Mitt and the Big Dig is patently false and numerous people have explained that to you.

If your incoherent hypothetical example is meant to explain what is meant by shooting the messenger,, I am not impressed by your example. You do not just deliver the messages, you write them and present them for our consumption. You own them and only a fool would think that you are just reporting what other people think.

He can not win against Obama or Hillary.

Shame on our Republican Party … they have left (literally) me.

Don’t try to hide it, either. You may well be right that some ill-informed people who listen to types like you who peddle falsities will believe you.

But you know better. You are intentionally intellectually dishonest.

Buy Danish on February 1, 2008 at 4:02 PM

Oh shut up, you don’t get my point.
To the others, it is the Mitt-wits (whom you see quoted here) pretend to be offended by references to his religion (although most attack Christians at will). Here let me give you an example:
A black young man beats someone up for no reason. Someone says, “what do you expect from a ghetto black”, not a proper thing to say. So everyone now attacks the “quoter” and ignores the crime. Marches ensue, statements fly back and forth, and the person who commits the real crime, is pushed to the background.
I list 15 items, and what gets picked out, the items two Mitt lovers can shout at, to ignore the other 13.
Thanks, buydanish, for proving my point, bias comes in many forms…you just wrap yours in faux indignation…and Mitt loses because his supporters only fight the two items.

right2bright on February 1, 2008 at 3:24 PM

No, I was just surprised that you considered those two reasons as equally legitimate as the rest.

Slublog on February 1, 2008 at 3:46 PM

Once again, you proved a point. Who said equally? Starting to get it now? I purposely “buried” them, but you moved them to the top, or imagined that they are all equal. Like I said, bias comes in many forms…
*
They are points, put them in any order you want, or any priority you want, I just listed 15 reasons why some won’t support him. And you picked out 2 of the 15, so I guess the other 13 are legitimate…those are the ones I would worry about if I was a Mitt supporter.

oldernslower on February 1, 2008 at 4:06 PM

Maybe McCain is more of a mainstream conservative than many would like to admit. He managed to keep his seat (representing a border state no less) in the senate, while many admittedly more conservative politicians, lost theirs. I believe McCain is a good Republican and I hope he picks a strong conservative for vice president.

McCain/Kennedy was about border security too, just not enough emphasis on it. With the border secured, you will find that most americans will be able to tolerate some type of amnesty arrangement. McCain/Feingold is not even a real bill, it failed, but you should not have to be a multi-millionaire pander bear to compete for this job. Mac is strong on pro-life issues where Mitt ran for Gov. of Massachusetts as pro-choice. And as far as immigration, Mitt will deport illegals (after they finish school and get their “affairs in order” of course) unless they’re here to mow his lawn.

Though JM is clearly not my first choice, I believe his heart is in the right place and he puts the country ahead of his political affiliations. I remember when most on our side did the same. What happened?

I do appreciate your civility though. I’ll vote for Romney in the unlikely event he gets the nomination, but I’m not phoney enough to act as if it would be a choice made out of pure conservative principle.

I don’t have a problem with anyone in congress trying to work with democrats to get things done for the country. Better to get a moderate in moderates clothes, than a liberal trying to act conservative, that’s far more dangerous, IMO.

myamphibian on February 1, 2008 at 2:22 PM

McCenndy has been very good at reaching across the isle and slapping the republican party yr after yr…top 2 McCain/Feingold, 1st amendment rights weakened…Illegal immigration McCain/Kennedy. You going to say he has flipped when he says he learned what americans want…liar. He just said last week he’d sign the bill if he was president.

Thanks, I knew someone would extrapolate two items out of 15 and only focus on those…

…gave reasons why some (not everyone) is not supporting him.

…I guess bias comes in many forms.
right2bright on February 1, 2008 at 3:24 PM

Don’t pretend that you don’t ascribe to those views and that you’re just innocently telling us what other people think. You are also the only person I know who takes this idiotic position (something you have been called out on numerous times but continue to peddle nevertheless):

You can not support Mitt because of the favors he bestowed on Bechtel, as they were raping Mass in the Big Dig

Those are your opinions r2b, don’t try and run away from them, and the have the unmitigated gall to imply that it is because of our “bias”.

Mitt can’t unite the party. I warned that was the case months ago. And its still true today. We backed the wrong horse and its costing us.

William Amos on February 1, 2008 at 1:08 PM

To continue the analogy…

As for Fred, you can lead a horse to water, but you cn’t make him drink.

right2bright on February 1, 2008 at 3:24 PM

No, I was just surprised that you considered those two reasons as equally legitimate as the rest.

It’s just ugly. I feel like I’m on digg or the DU boards.

Huckabee is more conservative than Mitt. I’ve never heard Huckabee OR McCain say they would fight to protect a womans right to have an abortion. It’s amazing how ignorant some “principled” conservatives can be. If McCain wins and turns out to be the next Reagan, I don’t plan to let you chumps forget this.

myamphibian on February 1, 2008 at 1:23 PM

Sorry, as obnoxious as the Fredheads got, none of them were this idiotically dense.

Away with you, Huckatroll.

Wow.

Slublog on February 1, 2008 at 3:07 PM

Thanks, I knew someone would extrapolate two items out of 15 and only focus on those.
Wow…Mitt could be a person who lies about his policies (I said could), lie about his corporate cronies, and if those are brought up, with something you don’t agree with…you throw everything out the window.
Wow…
I gave reasons why some (not everyone) is not supporting him. Why do you think people aren’t supporting him?
Like I said, thanks, I guess bias comes in many forms. Some more obvious then others…which is more harmful? The ones that are obvious, or yours…

Color me SMitten.

Romney has cornered the market with an excellent Illegal Immigration expert….

You can not support Mitt because he follows a religion that is out of the mainstream
You can not support Mitt because he believes someday he will be a God
right2bright on February 1, 2008 at 2:46 PM

Wow.
