I wanted to add….just think of all the billions that could’ve been saved had President Bush and President-elect followed Mitt’s advice back in November.

Damn straight Sheryl. If they had followed his advice, I think we would, at the very least, be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel at this point.

Cheers

I wanted to add….just think of all the billions that could’ve been saved had President Bush and President-elect followed Mitt’s advice back in November.

Think about it…..sigh…..move on….and hope that in 2012 America is done with all this stupid identity politics and will elect this gifted and wonderful leader.

They need to wise up and realize they aren’t playing with left of center politicos, but hardcore Marxists and powerful political machines backed by big bucks.

If Republicans on this site who are bashing Romney (Allahpundit included) can’t reconize an adult speaking then they hear it, then we are going to end up no better than the “BushHitler” leftie crowd, I’m afraid. This site should be better than that.

If anyone read Mitt’s op-ed about the auto industry back in November Mitt is simply reiterating that view point here. He actually advocated for a clearing out most of the executives and bring in new blood from different industries to help re-vitalize the dying companies.

If the people who really think Mitt should’ve come down hard on Obama at this stage in the game then they have no idea about strategy and are just being pre-ejaculatory stupid fools!

BTW, who here would like, just f**king once, to have a Romney post that doesn’t end up being a stupid fight over Huckabee and Mormons not being Christians.

sheryl on April 1, 2009 at 1:04 PM

Thank you Sheryl. It is nice to know that I am not the only intelligent person on HotAir.

sheryl on April 1, 2009 at 12:55 PM

sheryl on April 1, 2009 at 1:04 PM

Congrats, Sheryl. These are the two best posts on this thread.

Romney thoroughly makes it clear throughout the clip that Obama’s bailouts have been a failure. Am I missing something here or are you guys just Huckabee supporters?

2) Didnt understand what Romney was saying cause it wasnt retarded.

The Wall on March 31, 2009 at 5:16 PM

You can always tell the Huckabee supporters. They are the ones who don’t have any understanding of the economy. And start bashing Romney with no understanding of what he is saying.

Classic. The economic illiterate huckabee supporters are bashing Romney because all they know is they are supposed to be Anti-Obama bots. So if Obama does it, it must be bad even when he does something right – as in say GM should go bankrupt.

Economic illiterate Huckabee Supporters and Palintologists are one and the same.

Eff all these freaks.

There is another … the Giant is rising … let’s roll.

Just f*cking once, I’d like to see a Palin post that doesn’t degenerate into the same old “she doesn’t read!” moonbat talking points. Your scenario is FAR more likely.

Argument: Latter-day Saints are not Christian because they do not believe in the Trinity.

Rebuttal: “Christians” are not defined as those who accept the Trinity, but rather as those who accept Jesus as Son of God and Savior. Since LDS do accept this, they are “Christians,” just not “Trinitarian Christians.” In other words, “Trinitarian” does not equal “Christian.”

No, because their founder didn’t think they were…and because they are poly-theists (along with several other differences, like where “authority” comes from)…Trinity is just one defining (albeit important) part of being a Christian.
We believe in one God and only one God, Mormon’s have a God for every world, hence poly vs. mono.
And read my posts from the most coveted and beloved of Mormon leaders, they didn’t consider themselves Christians.
I will ask again…what good is history, if everyone ignores it?
The common denominator is Abraham…Jews, Muslims, Mormon’s, Christians…
Those are the four Abrahamic religions…then they branch off to their own specific religions.
Christians can be broken into several, Protestants, Catholic, etc.
Mormon’s, have LDS, Reorganised, Aaronic, etc.
Jews, have Orthodox, Reform, Hasidic, etc.
Muslims have Sunni, Shia, Sufism, etc.

Au revoir, Mitt!

(sigh) You have chosen an apt name, dude. It’s like talking to one. I charge you to find one instance in history where a dull candidate defeated an interesting one in a presidential race. The guy is a boffo executive, but he couldn’t inspire people to follow him if he had a choir of angels to back him up. He just is not very inspirational a figure, and that is vital in winning at the national level. If O drops dead and Biden is the incumbent, Romney would have a shot. Otherwise, an inspirational figure is needed. Someone who the party base WANTS to follow and who can inspire others to come along for the ride. Romney just can not do that. Period.

Put him in the cabinet or in the #2 slot, and he’ll do more good than he ever could in the Oval Office.

Didn’t you know that Reagan was just some old, know-nothing STUUUUuuuuupid actor just reading lines he didn’t really understand?

Besides, The Blank Wall up there probably wasn’t even a gleam in his/her daddy’s eye when Reagan left office, so (s)he has no idea what I mean by inspiring.

Oh I see…you want an ENTERTAINER!!!

The Wall on April 1, 2009 at 9:48 AM

Like Ronald Reagan, smart guy?

This is just Romney being Romney – Lukewarm, conciliatory, and….dull. Moderate in everything, passionate about nothing, he gives the impression of a conflict-avoidant CEO giving faint praise to his adversary. Managerial as all hell, and better than Nytol as a sedative.

And some of you guys think this uninspiring wonk could sway voters in a general election?

RIIIIiiiight!

Oh I see…you want an ENTERTAINER!!! You want somebody to do a song and dance for you rather than just somebody who will deliver a better country for your children and grandchildren to live in.

Well…you certainly have your priorities right and I am sure the Cuda will provide us with much more entertainment…thats for sure.

In regards to religion, Mormons are not Christians. Personally, I could care less whether a candidate is a Christian, Mormon, Hindu, or an athiest. As long as they hold true conservative principles, I will vote and work for them. I say, who cares if he is a Mormon or not, I will judge him by his actions, not his words.

Anyway, that comment about The Wall hating us Christians, the feeling is mutual for those of your persuasion.

“Christians” are not defined as those who accept the Trinity, but rather as those who accept Jesus as Son of God and Savior. Since LDS do accept this, they are “Christians,” just not “Trinitarian Christians.” In other words, “Trinitarian” does not equal “Christian.”

scan-your-lane on April 1, 2009 at 12:54 AM

Exactly. Only evangelicals confine the label “christians” to people who accept the Nicene Creed. I think catholics and other normal people dont have a problem with the English language the way the evangelicals do.

When you think of evangelicals, think of Mike Huckabee….there ya go.

A cat is not a dog because the owner wants a dog but owns a cat…he can call it a dog all he wants, and in his home it may be a “dog”, but it is still a cat.

What is Mormonism? Given the fact that it is not Roman Catholic, or Eastern Orthodox, or Protestant, one can naturally extrapolate that Mormonism is not Christian. —Richard Abanes, blog post “Mormonism LEGALLY Declared Not Christian,” October 9, 2008.

“And given the fact that San Diego is not Los Angeles, or San Francisco, or Sacramento, one can naturally extrapolate that San Diego is not in California.”

A cat is not a dog because the owner wants a dog but owns a cat…he can call it a dog all he wants, and in his home it may be a “dog”, but it is still a cat.

A person can say that Mormons aren’t Christians etc…all he wants, and in his home, town, state, church, blog, etc… a Mormon not be considered a “Christian”, but Mormons are still Christians.

PS
A dog and a cat are both mammals.

Mormon’s are a fine religion, and fine people, some good, some bad, just like many others…but they are Mormon’s not Christian.
