The Denver Post: “Gov. Mitt Romney hit hard at the fiscal policies of President Barack Obama in a short stump speech in Grand Junction, but it was the hot-button conservative issues during a question-and-answer session that brought the crowd roaring to its feet on Tuesday. The 800 people packed into a high school gymnasium showed the most enthusiasm for Romney pronouncements to kill "Obamacare," do away with federal restrictions on natural gas fracking, uphold the death penalty and stand up for gun rights.”


The campaign could have saved the money and just sent the robot. Oh wait, they did. Not an original thought in the speaker or the crowd. And if nothing else is learned from "Fast and Furious," no matter who or how it was botched - it points out that our current laws don't permit a way to track guns from AZ guns shows and shops to Mexicans. All that the ATF can legally do is arrest the buyers, but only after wiretaps establish that the buyers purchased the guns for resale. If the bad guys keep changing the straw purchasers, then it becomes impossible to prove a case.
It's wrong to 'hit' anyone, no matter where you are
In all staightforward honesty, Obamacare will kill jobs by raising the cost of health insurance for all employees. Couple that with other mandates included in the bill, the creation of 159 federal agencies, boards, bureaus and commissions...... and you have the "mother" of all clu$terf-ck$.
Obamacare is simply another government entitlemant program designed to put the burden of health insurance for all people squarely upon the backs of those who DO WORK FOR A LIVING !
jim: Please back your comment with facts.....you can post an opinion but not outright lies.
Don't know where you have been living but health insurance has gone up double digits for the past several years while coverage has been reduced and co-pays have risen.
ACA will help reduce cost of health insurance by making it more competitive.
Guess you like paying for all those freeloaders who can buy large screen TVs, cell phones, multiple cars...but don't want to pay for health insurance, yet expect to get the same treatment when they run to the emergency room as people who do have health insurance.
Or paying for people who sincerely want health insurance but it is too costly for them.
Guess you like your health insurance premiums to go up while coverage goes down so insurance companies can rake in the mega bucks.
Jim you don't have a clue what you're talking about. All you're doing is repeating what Limbaugh (habitual liar) Fox (aka tea people Koch republican propaganda machine) Rove (idiot) and all your other nasty angry lying leaders are feeding you. If you're going to post, at least try to come up with a thought of your own once in a while. You know what happened to the mice that followed the pied piper don't you. You tea people Koch republicans are headed for the same fate.
Hey Mo Your Saul Alinsky is showing, google it Jim speaks the truth.
Military Members, Veterans, Military retirees;
please note that Swiss Bank account Romney PROMOTED THE DRAFT during the Viet Nam War,
then skipped out to France for extraordinary length of time when church missionary tours were limited.
When Romney came home, he sided with his dad that the whole Viet Nam War was a scam and that he was against the war.
Promoting the draft, while Americans were dying, he skipped out, then says he wishes he could have participated. His whole life has been a lie.
Romney is a COWARD, Lying, Draft Dodger, who promoted someone else to die for him, that is his way of management.
Some may want anyone but Obama, but this guy ranks with Jane Fonda and should not be given anything or elected for anything.
For those who are not old enough to remember the military draft, it was a mandatory commitment for two years that was implemented during the Viet Nam War. If your number was called, you went and served like it or not. Young people may say, I wouldn't go and they can't make me, think again.
This is what Romney promoted as if he were a "responsible citizen", then he left his fellow citizens to serve and some died for us and him. I am ashamed of him as I am retired military member, and forget about representing our country Mr. Romney.
I am one of the Military members who are against Romney, this has nothing to do with politics.
Ultra Liberal Fairly Reliable Bob, Romney is no coward and didn't dodge the draft. He got a deferment like many of his generation did to go to college, serve a mission for his church. He is different from Obama who is gutting the military: because Romney supports a strong military. Obama seems to think America should be like Europe and we see where that lead, Romney wants to give us back the American Dream.
Dear Fairly Reliable Bob,
Thanks for your service. But I suggest that there are many former military members who disagree with you, just as I do. I am a former marine. My father was a marine. My son was wounded in Afghanistan. I am also a lifelong conservative. And I will vote for Romney.
