I don't like Mitt RomneyFollow

He has nice hair?

I gots nuttin'

Limiting his speech circuit to AAAA schools.

Go look into it if you care.

I was actually more interested in why you'd like it, really. That didn't lend itself to a pithy banter, though.

Short version is that they've been, in my opinion, a pretty ****** ally.

I think that would be pretty universally agreed to. Problem is there really isn't much at all we can do about it.

I'm sure you could go on at length about it and how its impossible to do anything else, etc. I'm still open to hearing alternate ideas.

Just go ahead and assume I said something belittling about wanting to hear solutions that won't work instead of the truth. I'm lazy.

He isn't that bad. He really did try to clean up Mass. but was cockblocked by the high-spending, patronage job offering democratic state Congress. He came into Mass and cut spending and didn't raise taxes. He tried to merge the two state highways commissions into one to save millions of $$$ but was once again cockblocked by the Democratic government.

I am from Mass and I am a Republican ( a very liberal one). I have had the chance to meet him on a few occassions. He seemed interested in what people's concerns were. Is he the best candidate...I am not sure. If I had to vote today, I would be leaning towards McCain although I hated the bill he sponsered about Crimaliens.

Hi.

You absolutely no fucking clue what you're talking about.

Carry on.

Do you live in Mass? OK then.

Romney tried to merge the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority and MassHighway (cited here). Both do the same exact thing, maintain Massachusetts roads. If, according to the studies, both were merged together, it would have saved the Commonwealth a great deal of money. Some members of the Democratic State Congress were against it and it failed. I find it funny that the new Democratic governer has suggested the same exact plan and it has been met with open arms (cited here).

Listen Smash, I have a better chance at seeing Christ than changing your mind. I was just saying that I do not think he is the worst candidate out there, Republican or Democrat. Romney did clean up the Utah Olympics. He brought it out of the red and make it successful.



Crimaliens. A local Boston talk radio host named Jay Severin started referring to illegal immigrants as crimaliens and I thought it was catchy. You most likely did not.

I hated Boston, and I'm perfectly willing to shift the blame for that onto Mitt Romney.

Exactly. You have no idea what that fight was about. That's the point.

He's not the worst candidate, he's just an empty suit. That certainly has it's merits. He's not unpredictable. If you're looking for someone to further the divide between rich and poor and increase the power of cooperations, he's your guy.


A local Boston talk radio host named Jay Severin

He's not local, he's from New York. He's probably been to Boston ten time in his life. See, there are no successful GOP operatives that can survive Boston politics for any length of time, so if a local radio station thinks there's a market, they have to import one and have him lie about where he is.

Fool.

I seriously doubt Ray Flynn taught you how to drive.

Ok? Does that really seem like something I'd make up to further my credibility regarding politics?


Since we are on the subject though, what makes YOU the expert

1. Being smarter than you can imagine.

2. Having access to people involved in the process.

3. Education.

4. Experience in government service.


I don't? Are you sure? Why don't you explain it to me, it seems that you have such vast knowledge on this subject. Patronage jobs was a huge reason but, not the only one.

You wouldn't understand it. It's too subtle. If you were the sort of person who cared about what was behind broad stroke news reporting of issues you'd have found out already. It's not my job to try and convert you. I'm not particularly inclined to get into an argument with you about local political issues you don't understand. There's no upside.


If I am correct, he broadcasts from Boston, 55 Morrissey Blvd to be correct. His show is not presently simulcast. He was, at one time, simulcast but that was cancelled. Please prove me otherwise.

Yeah, that may be, I have no idea. I don't really keep up to speed on Jimmy's career at this point, be it his horrendous attempts at political consulting, his imaginary degrees, his broadcasting from a studio 500 miles from where he claims to be or whatever. The guy's a lightweight even in the "conservative pundit community. Also having been at events where he was present, I get the impression that he's little gay midget. Which is all well and good, but slightly against type of his radio persona.

I have never claimed to be smart or even smarter than I imagined. I do claim to be informed.



Actually, yes I do. I am a member of the Massachusetts Republican Committee and have had a leadership role in my local town's branch. Through these committees, I have helped my local state senator get elected. We actually had a friendly dinner together before Christmas. He provided me with information to help fight the MBTA's fare increase. Oh, and he also plays on my summer softball team. Good enough?



Am I educated? I don't have a degree in politics if that is what you want to hear. I do have a degree in economics and international business.



Yes, I have that too but only on the local town level. I belong to many local committees including the Veterns committee. My younger brother is actually a town councilor for the town in which I live. I won't tell you which town but, I will tell you one of the major issues in this town is the reuse of the airbase. If you are as informed as you claim to be, you should know what town I am talking about. BTW, my brother is a Democrat and I am a Republican. We often debate each other on different issues. One such issue was the assessment of home owner properties for local taxes. They just raised taxes even though home prices have declined.

I considered running for councilor at large this year but decided against it for family issues. Besides, I was told it would be a conflict of interest if two brothers were on the council. I am currently on the local ballot as a voting registar though.


Again, no facts. You claim I am not smart enough to understand. Try me.

Actually, this leads me to believe it is just your opinion. I am a man and I can admit when I am wrong. So, if we are going just on opinions and no facts well then I am wrong. I challenge you again though, prove me wrong, with facts.

Again, no facts. You claim I am not smart enough to understand. Try me.

No thanks. Why you don't you research it and see. If I provide you facts, you're going to waste the same amount of time smashing a keyboard with your balls on wikipedia, so why not save me the effort?


Actually, this leads me to believe it is just your opinion.

You'd be wrong.

Ok, what are five things you've been wrong about?
