EPTOh and I hope Romney gets asked about his tax returns. I'm really curious about those still especially after Reid's seemingly unfounded accusations. The GOP could have destroyed him outright but they're still holding those returns back.

Conservatives know that Romney was pro-abortion for a long time before he first ran for the presidency in 2007, at which time he "changed his position" because he was now asking for the votes of conservatives. Romney has also supported "gay rights," and as Massachusetts governor, he implemented same-sex marriage by executive fiat. In 2004, the MA Supreme Court ruled that the state's marriage law was unconstitutional -- but the Court did not rule, contrary to what is claimed, that gay marriage must be legalized and that the state constitution contains a "right" to marry. Yet, as soon as the ruling was issued, Romney commanded state agencies, by executive order, to start issuing marriage licenses to homosexual couples. Romney is stridently liberal on fiscal and economic issues. He did not initially support the Bush tax cuts; he has long opposed (and continues to oppose) the flat tax, calling it "a tax cut for fat cats"; he used fee hikes and "loophole-closing measures" to balance the Massachusetts state budget; and when he found items in it which he deemed wasteful or unneccessary, such as $30 million per year for hotel rooms for homeless people, he spent such sums on something else rather than use them to balance the budget. Mitt believes that anthropogenic global warming is real and that humanity must act urgently to stop it. In 2005, he even claimed that a cap-and-tax scheme would be "good for business." Source Where is this guy? I'd totally vote for him lol. Makes me wonder what we'd actually get if he won. Not exactly what his brand is currently advertising though, so can't really rely on hopes that he would regain his conscience. I get the feeling he'll say and do anything to win an election. Has the Dark Side completely taken him, or is there still good in there somewhere? :D | ||

You know, God's in the mix." Aug. 18, 2008 Barack Obama Source 1: http://2012election.procon.org/view.answers.election.php?questionID=1727 "America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit." -- Sen. Barack Obama, March 16, 2006 Source 2: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2011/apr/29/barack-obama/obama-regrets-2006-vote-against-raising-debt-limit/  Alot of Presidents and candidates change their minds, flip flopping happens alot. Sometimes people get a change of heart but most of the time it is political. | ||

From David Frum: "Why is the Obama recovery so weak?" "Why is the Obama recovery so weak?" That's what you say. That's your message. You stick to it. And whenever some freelancer on Fox News wants instead to discuss "why is Obama so black?" you put a sock in their mouth. | ||

Has the Dark Side completely taken him, or is there still good in there somewhere? :D I think a big difference is MA politics vs. national politics. In MA Republicans have more of a libertarian bent since being a social conservative is a go nowhere proposition. Romney seems to have changed his position on a lot of national issues since running for president. On one hand that's flip-flopish but on the other hand its appropriate since he'll be representing a different constituency. Edit: If Romney loses this election my 'it's never going to happen hope' is that Republicans put up a candidate that's like our old Governor Weld next time. | ||

I saw a YouTube ad on something I was watching earlier today saying that you'd be able to get live coverage through their streaming services from various news outlets. Also, I don't know if it's limited in access but cspan.org I'm sure will be streaming it. It starts at 9 PM Eastern which is approx 2 hours 40 minutes from now. | ||

I haven't decided where to watch yet. I know Politico goes on the air at 8 PM. Breitbart TV is doing live pre/post coverage from the "Spin Room" which is fairly entertaining. Ustream has links on the front page including PBS. YouTube's streaming page that apparently will have ABC and WSJ. | ||
