USNretired, Jeffie will take you up on that bet right after he takes me up on my deal. I do think you will win the bet except it might be an extra 10 minutes, in fact I hear the MSM has suggested that Romney not be allowed to speak so we can hear more of the messiah.
And he actually had the nerve to say the following: “I’m a strong believer in stating your position and not wavering.” LOL
He was for the Stimulus before he was against it.
He was for universal healthcare before he was against it.
He was against the auto bailout before trying to take credit for their rescue.
He was for a woman’s right to choose before he was against it.
He said he never had the desire to serve in Vietnam before saying he longed to be there.
He was for minimum wage before he was against it.
He was against returning to the Reagan-Bush era before saying he was for it.
He was for Stem-Cell research before he was against it.
He said he didn’t care about the 47% before saying he cared about the 100%.
He was for the assault rifle ban before saying he was against it.
He was against signing the Tax pledge before being the first to sign it.
He said he saw his father march with MLK before admitting he never saw it.
He was ok with hiring illegals to cut his lawn before he was against it.
He said he was a big game hunter before he said he wasn’t.
He said corporations were people before saying they weren’t.
He was against Obamacare before saying he liked the main parts of it before saying he was against it again.
He was for a path to citizenship before being against it, before being for it again.
He was for the TARP before he was against it.
He was for Roe v Wade before he was against it.
He was against people going to the Emergency Room before he was all for it.
He was for Gays being able to serve openly before he was against it.
He believed in climate changed before he didn’t.
He said he didn’t ‘line up” with the NRA before saying he was a member.
He said he owned a gun before admitting it was one of his sons.
He was against the Bush Tax cuts before he supported them.
I’m sorry but I just don’t trust Romney.

Mark2, I’m sorry but I don’t trust anything you post. Don’t believe it either!!
Jeffie, I know you are busy with “French models” in “France” but I still await your response to my offer. Are you standing by your man or just FHA??
m/?ark2_____you have not yet answer my question; why is mormonism a cult?
DB: You are free to be in denial. Its all truth.
I check in to this site on a daily basis. A registered middle aged Dem I like to see good figures for MSNBC. My take on them losing to CNN is they have the wrong set up during the pre and post debate programs. Maddow just does not cut it for me as the unelected leader of the pack. I would much rather have Chris or Lawrence leading the team with Rachel giving her opinion. When you have older more experienced broadcasters looking uncomfortable round that table it comes over as awkward. Just my opinion. Turned to Fox and was amazed at the reaction to the debate. But. should have known better.
Hey DB, watch the video and here it straight from the Horse’s mouth. Nobody made Romney say those things, he said them himself.
How do you think Obama will roll in “saving” GM, adding 5 million jobs, and Romney is to rich for our good in a foreign policy debate?
Give this guy a little more time and he might as well change his mind and vote for Obama !

Fox News Insider Presidential Debate Poll:
Obama = 66.4%
Romney = 33.6%
Ouch, that’s gotta hurt. I’m surprised Fox left that up on their site.

@Jeff and Ratboy
Isn’t it great about the housing market?
Do you guysthing the fact that the mortgage is the lows it has been in the last 4 years hadanything to do with it?
Sure glad the Fed is pumping out money, too bad it every thing else cost more.

Mark 2
Man made Global Warming could also be considered a cult.
Who sent Susan Rice out on all those Sunday shows?
What did the President know and when did he know it?
Mark2. Please tell me why U said mormonism is a cult
“Man made Global Warming could also be considered a cult.”
___________________
How is scientific fact a ‘cult?’ The fact that GW is occurring continues to be supported by all objective measures, and the rate being of anthropogenic origin is still the most widely accepted (and factually supported) explanation, barring better alternatives, as theories such as cosmic rays have not borne fruit.
Hey SP, here’s the portion of the Transcript from the Rose Garden where President Obama mentioned Acts of Terror:
…It’s especially tragic that Chris Stevens died in Benghazi because it is a city that he helped to save. At the height of the Libyan revolution Chris led our diplomatic post in Benghazi. With characteristic skill, courage and resolve he built partnerships with Libyan revolutionaries and helped them as they planned to build a new Libya.
When the Gadhafi regime came to an end Chris was there to serve as our ambassador to the new Libya, and he worked tirelessly to support this young democracy. And I think both Secretary Clinton and I have relied deeply on his knowledge of the situation on the ground there.
He was a role model to all who worked with him and to the young diplomats who aspire to walk in his footsteps. Along with his colleagues, Chris died in a country that is
still striving to emerge from the recent experience of war. And today the loss of these four Americans is fresh, but ourmemories of them linger on. I have no doubt that their legacy will live on through the work that they did far from our shores and in the hearts of those who loved them back home.
Of course, yesterday was already a painful day for our nation as we marked the solemn memory of the 9/11 attacks. We mourn with the families who were lost on that day. I visited the graves of troops who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan at the hallowed grounds of Arlington Cemetery, and had the opportunity to say thank you and visit some of our wounded warriors at Walter Reed. And then last night we learned the news of this attack in Benghazi.
As Americans let us never, ever forget that our freedom is only sustained because there are people who are willing to fight for it, to stand up for it, and in some cases lay down their lives for it. Our country is only as strong as the character of our people and the service of those, both civilian and military, who represent us around the globe.
NO ACTS OF TERROR will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for.
Today we mourn for more Americans who represent the very
best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done….

Even though I am Mark1, I will answer this
In defense of Mormonism, I think all religions could be considered cults.
Mark2_______how do you expect anybody to believe anything you say when you can’t back it up?
Navy dude don’t get fooled by the housing numbers. Interest rates are lower than they ever have been but it doesn’t mean people are getting loans. Re fis are going well with the low rates but many can’t because they are too deep under water and the appraisals for the ones being done still do Mr reflect true values so those people could be in trouble later. And the new construction surge is very regional and there are still a lot of areas that are still dead. Here there are only r builders doing Lu h. One is a. Discount junk builder and the other 3 do high middle to upper value homes and they are only spec building one at a time
Mark, global warming is not a scientific fact, it is scientific speculation at best. We do not have the models for proving or disproving climate change. That is a fact and a scientific fact at that!!!
4 builders not r builders. And much not lug
