Romney implores Colorado for 'one last push'

ENGLEWOOD, CO — Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney implored Colorado voters for "one final push" in his final rally Saturday, making his entreaty to the largest and most boisterous crowd of the day.

"One final push is gonna get us there. We’ve had a lot of short nights and long days and now we’re close," Romney told a crowd of more than 17,000 supporters gathered at an outdoor amphitheater. "The door to a brighter future is there – it’s open, waiting for us.  I need your vote, I need your work, I need your help."

Colorado voters have turned out in large numbers for Romney at recent rallies here, and he'll need the kind of high energy he received tonight to move this state, which most polls show knotted up, back into the Republican column on Tuesday.

In his fourth and final campaign stop of the day, Romney continued to appeal primarily to independent voters with his "closing argument" stump speech, telling his assembled crowd that the president had failed to live up to his lofty promises of change, and would continue to fail to work with Republicans in Congress should be he granted a second term. 

"Change can't be measured in speeches; it is measured in achievements. And four years ago, candidate Obama promised to do so very much. But he has fallen so very short," Romney said. "He promised he would be a post-partisan president, but he has been most partisan — dividing, attacking, blaming."

Romney also added a local touch to his final Colorado appearance. Retelling the tale of a Boy Scout group's flag — thought lost in the Challenger space shuttle explosion, but later recovered unharmed and returned to them — Romney invited a special guest out onstage: Maj. William Tolbert, the US Air Force officer and scoutmaster from Monument, Colorado who figures so prominently in the story, carrying the flag itself, encased in glass.

"That," said Romney as Tolbert stood beside him and the crowd cheered its approval, "is a great flag, representing the greatest nation in the history of the Earth."

Chris Christie, Mike Bloomberg, Colin Powell all dump the repuke dunce lyin Willardo, the Mexican Mormon Moron tax evading draft dodger. Now Ron Paul dumps the "lying, cheating, criminal" repuke dunce party.

This is great news for Obama. Ron Paul has "washed his hands" of the republican party after 30 years. He claims they are liars, cheats and criminals. His backers will probably not vote for lyin Willardo, the Mexican Mormon Moron tax evader, bankrupter, draft dodger, job outsourcer and Etch a Sketch Champion. This should easily allow Obama to win. His backers are considering drafting Gary Johnson, the former governor of New Mexico to run.

Johnson, in my opinion, is too honest to win. He is truly, the only decent candidate the repuke freaks had, but they shut him out. Repukes - the party of voter supression.

"The irony of the announcement by Congressman Paul is that it was the Republican party who first rejected him, long before Paul's decision to wash his hands of the GOP. During the primary campaign season, multiple Republican committees in states across the country used rule changes and local law enforcement to ensure the Texas Congressman did not succeed in winning primaries. Couple this with the fraudulent attempt to keep Ron Paul from being nominated at the Convention by stealing his delegates in Maine, and in other states, and it is no surprise that the soon to retire Congressman has had enough of the corrupt political party he supported for more than 30 years."

Hi Jim,

As an add on to your post, where or where was Bush five days before the election. In the Caymans, at a conference on how the rich can shield their money from taxes. What a Bush slap in the face to Romney who has excelled at the act of shielding his money.

When Romney gives to his church, the money goes to the church corporation and their own self promotion. When I donate to my church, it goes to nondenominational needs in the country and in poor areas around the world. If they try to baptize me after death, it's a waste of their time, I've already left a letter stating my church affiliation. I was almost engaged to a Mormon who was a graduate of Annapolis, and learned of their teachings through him.

        As members of the mormon cult the followers of the mormon cult are instructed to vote for Romney or they will feel the wrath of the mormon god Joesph Smith. Have you ever seen a mormon on a mission discuss the Bible, no and you wont but they can quote word for word any passage of the book of mormons. Joesph Smith is a new god that didn't exits until 500 years ago. The world had a similar cult following, that of Hilter and look where it got him. One thing you can say about the mormons can tell lies with a straight face and when confronted they can change their minds about any subject they are challenged to prove. The mormon cult will have to give romney a major leadership role in the cult.

          The problem with lyin Willardo is what he owes the government in taxes that he has evaded. He has yet to report one full year of any federal tax return. Once the government found out that he has hidden accounts overseas, he did not release his 2011 returns as it was not reported in there. His accountants are working on it now. When he does release, the last 5 years, he may be arrested for tax evasion.

          The only reason people open overseas numbered bank accounts is to evade taxes on unreported income. It is estmated by some, that lyin Willardo, the Mexican Mormon Moron tax evader, bankrupter, draft dodger, job outsourcer and Etch a Sketch champion has hidden about 32 million in numbered accounts in the Cayman Islands and Switzerland. Unnamed workers at these banks sent this info to the IRS.

          Hopefully, they will arrest this right wing criminal tax evader before the election.

          This is why he won't release the last 5 years of his tax returns.

          I wonder if that is where he keeps his Mexican birth certficate also

          Even totally braindead repuke fruitcakes have to admit that lyin Willardo would be suing Reid if the allegations were not true and showing his tax returns to prove it. He can't, because it is true. Reid really wants the lyin'Mexican Mormon Moron to sue him, so he will have to open up his tax records to the public. Brilliant move. Then off to jail for lyin Willardo. Hopefully, they will send this tax evading criminal back to jail in his birthplace in Tijuana. We don't want to pay for his jail expense here.

          Don't miss the One Milllion Muppet Parade today in DC.

          Children are starting to come from school and asking their parents if it is true what their teachers told them. There is going to be a one million man Muppet March in DC on the Sunday before the elections. The kids are asking their parents if lyin Willardo, the Mexican Mormon Moron tax evading draft dodger is really going to defund PBS in order to help lower taxes for his criminal corporate masters?

          And the parents answer is yes. Lyin Willardo, the Mexican Mormon Moron tax evading draft dodger is doing just that.

            Even the British people know what lyin Willardo, the Mexican Mormon Moron is like. After criticizing their olympic preparations when he visited there, the British newspapers essentially said "How could any sane American vote for an oaf like this to be their president".

            The repuke nuts are under the control of the bible freaks now. They must obey them. I would not be surprised if these freaks ever won, that they would put a statue of Jesus on the top of the White House.

            Rick the Dick Sanitarium. The king of the Taliban Catholics and Christians. The true Allah of America. Together with Mohammed Mitt they will try to pass a law to have biblical fairy tale Creationism forced on all people as being a true science. I wonder how many of these toothless, backwoods evangelical nuts still believe the earth is flat?

              I am not under the control of the bible freaks as you put it....I base my judgement on what one or the other says, as well as in this case what Obama has done....What kind of record does he have to run on? why does he not say what he is going to do why does he not open his college records,,,,eventually they will be open and I have a feeling that there are things there that may surpise a lot of people...why did he not send help to save those in Libya? Military help was less than an 1 hour away...don't come up with the general did not obey an order, the man has to much to lose if he did...Obama failed to help save those in Bengahzi...end of story.

                    There are so many issues that we face and one thing I wonder is if the liberals no longer believe in God and we are close to moving to a Godless nation. At the Democratic convention God was reinstated even though it did not get two thirds of the vote. Political I think they decided that it would be safer at this time to keep it in.

                    Is this significant? I believe that it is and our country was founded on a fundamental belief in God and that belief has allowed people to believe in the manner they wanted. If it is removed we are tempting fate and turning our backs on God. I believe that we then will be doomed as a nation. Actually this is prophetic and there is little anyone can do about it except vote.

                    There are still a lot of people out there that believe and this issue is going to rear it's ugly head again. Please do not vote against our fundamental beliefs.

                    Haroild. Where are you when we need you? Come back and try again. The repuke nuts are out of control.

                    It was too bad that Harold Camping did not succeed in taking away the base of the repuke dunce party.

                    Harold Camping, the evangelical king, got 500,000 of these pathetic radical right wing braindead evangelical Children of the Corn zombies to give up all of their worldly possessions to go meet and stay with the man in the sky. They are so easily brainwashed. Camping, considered the evangelical king by many because of his 50 year history of bible study, promised to take away these right wing bible nuts on the last Rapture Day on Oct 21, 2011. All of his calculations were based on "biblical facts" When it did not work, he then realized that the bible in most part is "pulp fiction".

                    Yet these braindead fools continue to believe that there are men and boys with wings on flying around blowing horns.

                    The only thing to do to cure these zombies is to send them all back to the Garden of Eden on Noah's Ark to start over again, unless of course, they fall off the end of the flat earth.

                    These braindead idiots would still be believing in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, if their parents did not tell them otherwise. It is unfortunate that they don't believe their leaders, when they tell them how worthless repuke lyin Willardo, the Mexican Mormon Moron tax evader, bankrupter, draft dodger, job outsourcer and Etch A Sketch Champion is.

                    Many of them still believe that the earth is flat and that dinosaurs never existed. It is all a liberal conspiracy.

                    Repuke dopes just don't listen. They were warned about the lyin Mexican Mormon Moron tax evading draft dodger during the primaries.

                    All pathetic, psychotic, braindead right wing radical cracked teanut dopes should listen to your leaders. They warned you about the Mexican Mormon Moron tax evading draft dodger during the primaries when they were able to tell he truth about this moron.

                    Lyin Willardo, the Mexican Mormon Moron tax evader, bankrupter, draft dodger, job outsourcer and Etch A Sketch Champion may have vision of going back home to Mexico.

                    All braindead pathetic right wing radical cracked teanuts should listen to your leaders.

                    Rick the Dick Santarium has brainwashed his followers, the evangelicals and the gay rapist, pedophile catholic priests that lyin' Willardo is a member of an evil cult and is the anti-christ. He also told them that lyin Willardo is the worst person in history to ever run for the presidency, can't be trusted and will destroy our country. Groper Nutquist, the boss of the right wing cracked teanuts and Nut Gingerhead, the criminal lobbyist, totally agreed with the last three assessments.

                    So most of the evangelical sheep will probably stay home on election day or some may even vote for Obama. They are totally scared to death of lyin Willardo, the Mexican Mormon Moron tax evader, bankrupter, job outsourcer, draft dodger and Etch A Sketch champion.

                    If this repuke draft dodger ever became president, and war broke out in the middle east, he will be putting his dog on the top of his car and fleeing to his birthplace in Tijuana and hide in one of his 4 grandmammy's (pappy's side only) outhouses.

                      Most of the political signs in yards said "Obama". Pretty obvious they can't stand or trust R & R either.

The Mormons deny the Trinity and the existence of a literal burning Hell, yet they promote polytheism (many gods), baptism for the dead, and the notion that Jesus and Satan were originally spirit brothers!

                      This is not going to go over well with the centrists of the repuke dunce party-the abortion clinic bombers, abortion doctor shooters, federal building bombers and the heart of this nut party-the radical right wing southern anthrax spreaders and the rest of the Klan.

                          Lyin Willardo, the Mexican Mormon Moron tax evader, bankrupter, Etch A Sketch Champion, job outsourcer and draft dodger may be the worst repuke dunce of all. This guy has yet to provide his tax returns for the last 5 years. It should show how much he has evaded in taxes and how much unreported income he has stashed away in Cayman Island and Swiss bank accounts. He is your typical right wing thief.

                          There have been many rumors going around that little lyin Willardo was seen in a baby carriage in Tijuana. with a bottle of Corona Light in one hand and an Etch A Sketch in the other. The side of his carriage had the name "Little Lyin Willardo" on it. So when we see the long form of his birth certificate and it says Willardo on it and not Willard, we will know something is wrong.

                          Isn't it funny, that his new buddy Fox Top Trump never asked lyin Willardo for a copy of it?

                          What a joke. Less and less of the stupid right wing nuts come out to back lyin Willardo, the Mexican Mormon Moron tax evader and bankrupter and they rave about it. As most people know, the evangelicals consider the mormons an evil anti-christ cult. The mormons have been converting dead jewish people, without their knowledge to become mormons to enhance their religion. They baptise them when they are dead. These sick aholes were caught when they tried to convert Anne Frank to be a mormon. These repuke dunces best bet is to bring back Herman (9Kampf) Cain, the dress slitherer. He can draft Jerry Sandusky for V.P. Who cares what they have done in the past, they are against abortion, that is all that counts.

                          CAIN/SANDUSKY 2012. The true repuke family values candidates.

                            The congress had a 23% approval rating before the right wing radical cracked teanut dopes were elected. Now it is about 11%, the lowest in history.

                            The first two thing these repuke freaks did when in congress was to try to get two bills passed making Creationism the equal science of evolution and abortion banned. Nothing about jobs.

                            The true backers of the right wing nut party.

                            The repukes need someone exciting and different, someone like Mark Sanford, the former Governor of South Carolina, who cheated on his wife by going to Argentina to see his soul mate. He told his wife that she should not mind because Jesus said it was okay to do it. Or maybe the head of the Westboro Baptist Church who protests at dead soldiers funerals that they deserved to die, or maybe Senator John Ensign of Nevada, who screwed one of his best friends wives. Then apologized and paid them both off not to say anything about the affair. The he seduced her again. Or maybe you mean "Toe Tappper" in the toilet stall, Senator Larry Craig, who wanted to have sex with someone in a public restroom toilet. This Craig duped his evangelical nutcase followers by telling them that he was a god fearing man. So he tapped the foot of the guy in the next stall several times. Unfortunately for Craig, the guy was an undercover officer and he got arrested. Now we have another evangelical rapist. Dale Richardson, who is a pastor or priest in SC who was supposedly cured by Jesus, has been arrested for raping 3 women. I guess Jesus gave him the wong message.

                            Or should we look forward to the current Governor of Alabama who said he would not help anyone who is not Christian.

                            Of course we can't leave out Herman (9Kamph) Cain, the dress slitherer. He claims he never did anything wrong. Another lyin Willardo, the Mexican Mormon Moron tax evader, bankrupter, draft dodger, job outsourcer and Etch A Sketch Champion.. And how can we forget Clarence Thomas, the womanizer, who the repukes put on the supreme court, despite Anita Hill taking a lie detector test saying she was telling the truth.

                            However, I think the best repuke candidate with excellent morals is Arnie Schwarzenegger. He jumps anyone he can.

                              The repukes need someone exciting and different, someone like Mark Sanford, the former Governor of South Carolina, who cheated on his wife by going to Argentina to see his soul mate.....sounds a lot like Clinton only he likes to use cigars and leave traces on young ladies dresses...

                                  Why would anyone want Romney for it's leader,this dummy has his money in foriegn banks and not the US ,more than likely to avoid paying taxes on the country he wants to run [and Rob].

                                    Radburn you are a little perplexed aren't you. Why you want to wright a book on here I don't understand, however many of your post are plain superfluous. You want to play the teen age game of who did what to who, at the same time attempting to project your self as all knowing and I see a lot of that out of the liberals.

                                    Obviously their are radicals in any group and that does not relate to a generalization of an entire organization. We have witnessed the radicalism with respect to the Muslim religion however most of the belief is peaceful. Why would one be so overwhelmed because another person has a fundamental belief in God?

                                    I believe for some a belief in God it directly in conflict with what they want to do or practice so to them the obvious answer is there is no God. So then your only response to mine would be of insult, so go ahead and take your shot or you could really come up with pertinent information with regards to the issues the country is facing but I believe your course of action is to continue on the path you are on.
