Thank you, Roma and Tom, for posting the links to Romney's past politics. These and more give me concern with him being in the drivers seat in the White House.

@Jim Kuhn... Obamacare was not patterned after the Massachusetts healthcare program that was only designed for 8% of the people of that state who were too poor to have any adequate healthcare coverage or treatment. It did not cover the other 92%. Also, Gov. Romney vetoed parts of the passed healthcare bill, but the 84% Democrat-controlled Massachusetts State Legislature over-rode his veto in each case. It was never designed or intended to be used as a model for the entire state or the entire country. Romney could have then vetoed the entire bill, but that would have deprived the poorest of the poor of any decent healtcare. By working in a cooporative effort with the Legislature, he was able to get most of his major conservative objectives enacted into law, which would likely not have occurred otherwise. Romney is no liberal. He is a man of character and a principled husband and father whose life has been exemplary. Further Romney... and Michelle Bachman... are the two candidates who have the best background, preparation and experience to rescue the economy and put millions of Americans back to work. And both of them have backgrounds that will prevent the kind of character assassination and attacks for bad political decisions other candidates in the running would be exposed to... such as Rick Santorum's long history of bringing earmark pork back to his state of Pennsylvania. I believe a Romney/Bachman ticket would be a winner, especially in this economy, and it would likely garner a large portion of the female vote, as well as Tea Party vote. Michele Bachman founded the Tea Party Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives, has been a huge supporter of the Tea Party nationwide, and has taught the Constitution to other members of Congress.

Right you are, as usual, Roma. Good to hear from you, too, my friend. Thanks for the heritage.org link. Unions have also infiltrated all levels of government employment, which is bread and butter for the international unions, as well as the Democrats whom they support. They are also linked in with the United Nations and their objectives of global government and unionization of all the world's workers. If you visit the U.N. website, you will find they are very linked in with the global union movement. And the U.S. and Japan have footed the bill for it for many years, through paying a huge percentage of the total U.N. dues.  We have Democrat Franklin D. Roosvelt to thank for the feckless, but dangerous, United Nations, since he and the then leader of the U.S.S.R. spent 10 years setting up the U.N. to take the place of the League of Nations that failed and ended up in the dustbin of history. Harry Truman signed the U.N. Charter 13 days after Roosevelt's death. Big mistake and we're still paying for it... a perfect example of biting the hands of those who feed them. Same ethic applies to the unions who hate all the non-unionized workers' whose taxes contribute largely to union gained benefits that keep government employees paying their bribes to unions in order to have their jobs. It's welfare for the U.N. and the unions... and pay-too-work for the forced union members. Some folks are just more equal than other folks, it seems.

One thing that has become apparent with this discussion, we all have different points of view on specific issues.  I can only imagine how these posts are going to degrade as we get into the Primary Elections and we differ on who we support and who we think can beat Obama in 2012.  I am not for censorship, but I can already see what is going to happen as one person expresses support for a candidate that another person opposes (and vice versa).  It isn't going to be pretty.  I propose we come up with a plan now, so we do not turn these posts into a string of insults and name calling as things really heat up.  It frightens me how many Conservatives are already threatening to "Stay Home", if their candidate doesn't get the Republican nomination.  Maybe we should have went for a New 3rd Party, but it is too late for that.  We would only insure 4 more years of Obama at this point, in my opinion.  I am all for proving a point to the "Republican Establishment", but not at the expense of Mutually Assured Destruction.  I'll take an imperfect/weak conservative over a well documented Marxist any day!

A few more facts. Wade Rathke was the founder of ACORN, Stephen Lerner is a top SEIU official. Both are functioning as community organizers and have been coordinating with Patrick Gaspard, a policy (political) advisor in the White House re "Occupy." Further, Anna Burger, former SEIU President, now retired, has been working in the White House as a member of a commission. Both ACORN and SEIU, international organizations dedicated to organizing all the world's workers, have been pouring union and corporate funds into Democrat coffers for 2012, which is what "Occupy" is all about... getting Obama re-elected and turning America into a socialist country. Obama & the Democrats have a symbiotic relationship with major unions and ACORN, for they feed off of and monetarily/politically support each other. Big problem: the use of foreign money in American elections... even in the Duval County election of Mayor Alvin Brown. SEIU and the former Organizing for Obama that changed its name to Organizing for America after Obama's election, poured money and manpower into getting out the vote for Brown. Same thing happened in Tampa for the Democrat who won the Mayoral race there. Two months later, they began using their state groups already organized for "Occupy" to begin their get out the vote efforts for Election 2012... a BIG head start.

New Day, New Subject....and the subject at hand should be...who can defeat Obama? Cross Romney off the list...he will follow Obama's footsteps, in fact, ObamaCare was patterned after RomneyCare,  Santorum is anti gun and pro Obamacare, Newt is making a surprising good show of himself, (catch his interviews),and Ron Paul is the only Constitutionalist in the whole shebang....Would love to see Allen West/Allan Keyes as a ticket...those two would clean up the place...

Actually, the "protest/occupy" movement began, and was designed to be kicked off at the September 17th "Day of Rage" on Wall Street... and then rolled out state by state, where Wade Rathke of ACORN and Stephen Lerner of the Service Employees International Union had already planned, organized and set up organizations for this purpose in every state in the union. September 17th was symbolic for their anti-capitalist, anti free-enterprise, and anti- constitutional republic message and organized actions, for it was kicked off on Constitution Day. Nothing spontaneous about it.

Art, yesterday you wrote," There will be no more comments from me nor will I follow any others on this subject. Ditto Gus."

And here you are again. What's up?
