Romney dropping out

I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror,

They (the right) just beat the hell out of this refrain every chance they get, don't they?

After almost 6.5 years of manipulated intelligence, phony orange alerts designed to divert attention and lie after lie after lie being exposed, doe *anyone* believe this BS about "surrender to terror?"

A Democratic win in November is "surrendering to terror?"

On what planet?

That's also the bitterly slanderous wannabe overlord Mitt we've known for years here in the Bay State. For all the witnesses to his good character you have, David, we have plenty of others who have discovered him disappointingly hollow. Value-deficient careerism of his kind, so lacking in true service, is the game of people whose self is constructed on ideologies rather than spiritual identity. Look at his five sons to see what he's really about.

Maybe "surrender" is when we actually capture Al Qaeda people and put them on open and fair trial before the eyes of the world, risking our embarrassment while exposing their inexcusable criminal inhumanity fully to history. As opposed to the failing murder- and sadism-based approaches presently operative, which are all based in salvaging vanity and acquiescence to our own inhumanity.

Boone, "conservative" sure means a much different thing than it did 20 years ago. Good point,

David, calling this leadership is awfully generous given that as far as we know it could just as easily have been motivated by the desire not to spend another $35 M to lose. Frankly, if he'd shut up about the war a year ago I might have considered him and now he wants to make this a noble sacrifice for the war on terrorism? I wish him God's peace, I don't admire him.

Romney was yellow when we were fighting Communism and he is yellow now. Biking around France is not the same as going to FT Benning.

canucklehead - you can't vote - you're Canadian. Ok, you can vote in Canada.
I'll write in David - in about 8 years - he'll be a bit gray by then and the "gravitas" posse will be happy. However, it might mean I have to turn in my Democratic creds and that would be hard for this 60's girl.

I'm sorry, I don't see Mitt's withdrawal as such a noble gesture.

He tried to make it sound like a grand patriotic act by implying that he was somehow stepping aside in order to stop the Muslim hordes and their Democrat sympathizers who are eager to surrender to them. It's just nonsense (that's the polite term) to claim that Democrats are going to surrender to the terrorists because they don't want to commit more blood and treasure to an unnecessary, incompetently executed war which has drained away resources (3900 dead, 26,000 woundede and over two-thirds of a trillion dollars) from the real front in Afghanistan. Our military is exhausted and badly overtaxed...but somehow that's not important.

Mitt's bit of closing bravado was more designed to make him look good after a campaign filled with pandering and flip-flops.

He was tired of spending vast amounts of money for a relative handful of delegates and no real prospects of winning. This was not Capt. America selflessly hurling himself upon the scimitars of advancing Islamofascists.

"Money can't buy you love and money can't buy the presidency either. Now that is a good story line."

Tell that to the filthy rich Democrats flooding "millions and millions" of dollars to their "inner-city" champion of the poor. It appears the the elitist show is finally being seen after all the bull---t finally is being wiped away from it.

" . . . accepting the (rapid) evolution of American society.

McCain does seem to at least RECOGNIZE it, although whether a man of his generation can accept it is another issue."

Larry,

McCain came from a dark cell of unspeakable horrors in the 60's and 70's. That's is the same place the morality of the rapidly evolving Democrat-hippies-to-Liberals-to-Progressive-Humanists came from. Although their's was self-induced by other even more unseemly choices. Notice please that his rather lacivious counterparts in the sixties and seventies still rejected him when he got back to their yet to be evolved society. McCain came out into the light, and h the opposition party members chose to stay there and drag America's in with them.

McCain knows how to live with those kinds of people. Watch the way he deals with Democrats. He knows to keep his enemies close.

The decay of America into European hedonism (France-like) and cowardice, was accurately detailed by Romney.

It's nice to hear reality on so many issues of today from a political party. Of course it came from Conservatives.

Once again, Donny engages in blather about Obama. Yes, I am sure that he has many wealthy donors, but the overwhelming bulk of his financial support comes from average people giving what are considered small donations by political standards. He porbably has the broadest donor base of any candidate in American history.

He has not accepted lobbyist or PAC money, yet he draws twice as much as Hillary on the Democratic side and far more than either McCain or Huckabee. As for "filthy rich" donors, Romney only had to look into the mirror to find his biggest one, and even he couldn't scrape up enough to buy the votes he needed.

Hollywood (that supports Obama in droves) leads our children into filth and those children are sending money to Barack Obama's campaign.

Not a ringing endorsement for morality to be part of Obama's Humanism-political agenda. How many of those donors are single mothers celebrated by a culture that uses the term "baby momma" instead of something a bit more accurate and honest? But then again, I'm sure that teens not raising children due to an abortion have even more money to send in to the hero pro-choice Democrat. (Have you ever thought, that the ONLY PRO choice is Life? Of course you haven't. But you were once unborn.)

A debauched generation is following those that mislead them. The Democrat political action.

I'm sorry, that is not progressive, it is the same old story of dead civilizations throughout history. Obama's politics speaks to hedonism unfettered. And we all know about those that fail to learn from history. In fact, Obama's youth supporters have learned almost nothing through their Humanist education process, except how to get food stamps they are forced to need and condoms they obviously don't use. Those that do go to school, know how to pass tests to get high-paying government and social work jobs and of course the ubiquitous psychology degree. I keep forgetting how important Humanism truly is to these people.

I'm missing what's actually happening in our society how?

Donny:

I think Hillary and Obama divide the Hollywood community pretty evenly -- just as Dems overall are divided.

And, you gotta admit, if you're going to be sheltered from the excesses of the '60s, I don't even think John McCain would have chosen THAT particular method.

Bob M,

Obama encourages their behaviors that get them pregnant and also, perversely, to murder their unwanted pregnancies, by complicity (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/complicity).

I do not have to "desperately believe" what is easily provable. The lascivious licentiousness and th death that it always brings of Hollywood morality, beats out even the stories in the Bible that resemble it. (And of course all in condemnation of it.) Heath Ledger wa not embracing a conservative life. He was living Liberal excesses encouraged by the Liberal milieu in which he dwelled. I know the unshakable reality of that truth.

And to Obama's Leftist hordes, the Bible and its warnings about living a Liberal lifestyle is mythology at best. But certainly not the STD's and deaths that are really happening. The failure of the inner-cities where Obama says he worked to make better, shows his worth. Where is his voice to oppose what's really going on there? Sorry socialism and taxing good families ain't it.

Hollywood is leading the charge for Obama. ALL of those youthful supporters are produced by MTV, HBO, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox Channel, Vanity Fair, People Magazine, New York Time, LA Times . . . and on and on and on. His supporters think that street-corner prostitute behaviors are not only part of tolerance and diversity, but part of College life.

I think they are part of a death at a young age. Again, facts bear out my position.

Now don't get me wrong, there's a part of the Obama thing that is humorous to watch develope. If he were to get elected, where would all of the "Players" Rappers and Hollywoodites (that number the large percentage of his supporters), go to find their excuse for their ubiquitous multi-partnered promiscuity? (Sorry I had to frame it that way redundancy and hypocrisy means nothing to this new generation.)Obama's family represents the conservative Jesus model. In form anyway. Though his life's work represents the opposite, it will be truly entertaining to see the Black, MTV and Hollywood community champion their eyes closed promiscuity with a Liberal-Progressive in the White House, that appears, to really be committed to his wife of the opposite gender and the children they had after they were married. I'll enjot that. If for nothing else, just for the irony of it all.

Maybe there is a ray of hope, that if, Obama were to open his eyes while viewing the country from the White House, and the Lord would hear the prayers of the widow and orphan crying out from the inner-city suburban and rural streets, that he would reject his life of Progressive Secular Humansim and embrace the Truth worth living.

If he did that, there would be healing in America and children that would know the right from wrong denied them by Liberal and Progressive deception. They would fathers committed to them and their (married-to-the-father) mother. But I am not going to hold my breath for four-seconds let alone four-years hoping a Leftist will see the Light. But I will pray that it happens. I do believe in miracles. And it would take one to get a Liberal-Progressive-Humanist-Democrat to do the right thing.

(But then again Liberals do not believe in miracles either. Read the Humanist Manifesto for proof.)

Luckily I'm not a Liberal.

Well Donny, I'm sure I would be considered a liberal by you, but I believe in miracles. And I think a candidate who can inspire, and bring people together in hope is one of them.

I must say, the ease with which you sling all sorts of judgments and stereotypes around reminds me of Luke 8: 10-14.
