That lovable socialist liar

We think of politics as divisive, but if you look at what's been happening in the last few days, we are being offered a remarkable lesson in letting bygones be bygones.

Look at the former rivals of Mitt Romney -- like Michelle Bachmann, who once said:

"He's the only governor in the United States history to put into place socialized medicine."

And therefore couldn't possibly win.

And Newt Gingrich:

"Here's a Massachusetts moderate who has tax paid abortions in Romneycare, puts Planned Parenthood in Romneycare, appoints liberal judges to appease Democrats and wants the rest of us to believe somehow he's magically a conservative."

Gingrich even flat out called him a liar! And yet now Bachmann is on board:

"Of course I can support him, two words: Barack Obama," said Bachmann.

And Newt is on board even though he still believes Romney is a liar!

"The governor said things at times that weren't true. I also believe that compared to Barack Obama I would thrust Mitt Romney 100 times over."

And that right there is the key, throughout history humankind has always needed a way to get large groups to forget their differences and unite behind a cause. We've tried religion, tradition, patriotism -- but nothing is faster or more effective than FEAR.

And that means either finding or creating an enemy so terrifying that you will cheerfully embrace liars and even socialists as long as they're marching in the same direction.

"Two words: Barack Obama."

Let the show begin.

    How many jobs has this regime killed, Willie?

    And that 4.5 unemployment rate ballooned to 7.8 by January of 2009

    January of 2009. Who was in the White House at that time? Who was in control of the Congress? Need a hint Willie? And they had been since 2007.

    And yup, it is worse now. But 115,000 job gains beats plus 500,000 job losses

    Are you kidding, Willie? How many MILLIONS of jobs have been lost to this regime? We just had a "Seasonally adjusted" jobs loss report of over 300,000 jobs in April. Now I am no Albert Einstein but that is something like double 115,000. I think!!!

    "I'll feel sick to my stomach voting for Mitt Romney. I mean I'm going to suffer a wretching vomit filled sickness resulting in massive dry heaves after voting for Mitt Romney. I will be so disgusted with myself for voting for Mitt Romney I'll probably go on a 5 state killing spree before killing myself...just because I voted for Mitt Romney."

    Then they say, "but...ABO."

    ABO is correct D! Romney may not be a rock star (What a joke that is!) and not my first choice but he will be our next President. Actually he will be the first President that we Americans have had since President Bush left office and four years of the regime.

    I will be so disgusted with myself for voting for Mitt Romney I'll probably go on a 5 state killing spree before killing myself...just because I voted for Mitt Romney."

    That is what Jarrod Laughter figured after listening to left wing hate speech and bigotry. And now you are opening the door for the next Left wing homicidal killer to kill Americans all in the name of your Dear Leader. Oh! You left wing parrots.........

    What fun it is to own somebody so entirely that you are always on their mind. There's a weird satisfaction in watching somebody post unprovoked personal attacks, entirely unaware that such behavior says little or nothing about the object of those attacks but speaks volume about the attacker.

    Let's see, Romney, a guy that was successful in the private sector and made the American dream and didn't inherit any of it, turned around many businesses that created tons of jobs, turned around the Olympics that became a great success,has executive experence (Obama had none)and ran a state that was totally liberal, married for 35+ years to the same woman, has 5 great productive sons, has lived a great moral conservative life plus we know where he came from. Obamamama: Let's see, not sure where he came from, no private sector experence at ALL, never had a private sector job in his life, had all of his schoooling paid for through grants as a foreign student (hmmm?) and became a community organizer (occupy wall street that he supports) with Acorn, was a sentor for a year and never brought one bill to the table, voted present for all votes in his 1 year as a senator, never produced one job in his life, Croney capitalism run a muck, Solndra and all his other green B.S., he scares the crap out of businesses and we are all holding back until we get rid of him and if we don't, we are doomed,never had to do a budget and still never has passed ain 3 1/2 years being in office (what company or family doesn't have a budget) and has divided the American people more than any other time in my lifetime that it will create more division than ever before! Yea, the comparisions are close arn't they? Gezzzzzzz! I know facts don't matter with liberals but the facts are Obamama is a total failure, look at his record and the direction this country is going, down the tubes!!! Wake up America before it's too late. Obama's is the biggest liar I have ever seen and his sheep just follow him off the cliff. You bunch of weak sucks!

    Chucktard thinks using libtard is the same as a N bomb but republitard is fine. Never mind people change change their political affiations but not their skin color.Chuck denies the left racism towards Condi Rice and when hit with several instances of it hides. Chucks first concern when the criminals started vandalizing private businesses on the May day marches was to proclaim they have first amendment rights. Chucktard gets proven wrong over and over yet proclaims that he owns people. Chucktard wants to literally own me. Chucktard wants me to be his slave. Chucktard is a racist. Chucktard is a deviant. Chucktard, I am a free man!!!!!!! You are a wanna be slave owner racist who denies the left calling Condi Rice aunt Jemima. Chucktard loves republitard because it's the same as a N Bomb and those republitards need to be owned. We need to be owned like slaves by the liberals. Chucktard is just like Robert KKK Byrd. A left winger who thinks people different from him are inferior and need to be owned. Chucktard is a racist.

    Gally, I own you because you have enslaved yourself....
    May 5, 2012 3:27 pm
    not because I have any interest in owning you at all. You can't let a day go by without launching a hateful, personal attack. It's not as though I have attacked you earlier in the thread- you just interrupt discussion to spew your hatred. You're compelled- you have no choice. I don't give a rip about you, but you are obviously fixated on me. It's hilarious.

    You have learned a lot from listening to your right wing radio gospel. Goes like this:

    1.Completely mischaracterize something somebody said (or)

    2. Condemn somebody because they did not comment on something when *you* thought they should have.

    3. React with emotional rage and name calling, not at the actual thing said or not said- but at the mischaracterization that you, yourself, invented.

    4. Repeat the mischaracterization over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over....pretty soon people who are no brighter than you are will begin to wonder if it might be the truth.

    How sad to be built in a way that leaves you unable to intelligently discuss a subject, but super-equipped to post hateful, spiteful, lies and to call names. It must suck to be you.
