    I do too but so far the only redeeming quality the man has is he isn't Obama. But he is using all the same game plans that failed with Bush, and continued to fail under Obama, so how is more of the same, BETTER?

    The 2012 Presidential Election will not pivot on a debate, gaff, platform, ad, slogan, speech, incident, economy or disaster.


    The 2012 election will come down to a battle between:

    federaly funded and Holder DOJ sheilded organized voter fraud

    VS.


    grass roots, freedom activist and established law enforcement officials voter Integrity Fraud Prevention.


    It really is that simple.

    The election will be decided by a court, not by voters (like they ever really determine the elections), that's my prediction.

    When you swallow the made up gaffes of the liberal media, you lose any accurate perspective. Romney had a very successful foreign relations trip. And London was NOT ready for the Olympics. Lousy liberal reporters YELLING, "What about the gaffes?" at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is ONLY a gaffe on the despicable thoroughly rude and ignorant liberal reporters. Romney's ade telling them to "Kiss my Ass!" was completely appropriate,,,,,,,,,,,,,and he did not yell that like the reporters were doing.

    What about obama's Intercontinental Railroad? Did you miss that?

    What about obama visiting 50 states in the US and still having 7 more to go? Did that get by you?

    What about obama not being able to say anything in Austrian to the Austrian people. Miss that one too?

    What about obama's claim that the founding Fathers wrote the Constitution 200 CENTURIES ago. Another high, hard one through your wheelhouse?

    Better a court decides than having blatant, chad-eating, obvious and prevasive voter fraud take away the rest of the honest citizen's soverign francise.


    In the NEXT election cycle, the honest citizenry can do MORE to prevent the leftist extremist from continuing to commit voter fraud.


    This is exactly the kettle of fish we're in now...

    Look it up. Its all over the internet. Has been for a long time. And he said 20 centuries ago, not 200, my bad.. Still a gaffe. According to b.o. the Constitution was written in 12 AD.

    Yeah, but this is simply perception and not reality. Which is unfortunate. It's not about how many gaffes someone makes. It's about how many gaffes the public sees. Which gives Obama a distinct advantage because he has the media and the entertainment industry covering for him on this. The man is a walking gaffe machine on par with President Bush and yet most people still have this bogus impression that he's a poised and eloquent speaker because nobody ever shows the embarassing stuff. Take a look at this video and tell me how many of these you've actually seen before now. That should illustrate the double standard pretty clearly.

    Wow Obama really does have a lot of "gaffes" (hate that word) but those are very miniscule gaffes, Romney had them on a foreign trip and it was kind of big even though I believe the media blew it out of proportion, I do think the mainstream media is pretty bias toward him. But the guy has no common sense, he goes to the country that's hosting the Olympics which is a highly prestigious honor, yes they had many problems but you don't go to that country and talk about it. He should've just said "Well I'm in the country so I won't talk about it because that could undermine our dear relationship" like he did on Wolf ,instead he said "yeah they've had some problems" (paraphrasing). Then the other incident when he hit on a touchy subject, Palestine. He discusses why Palestines economy isn't as good as Israels and etc... it's not like Israel's being oppressive or anything. As Romney says it's the "culture". That undermines what Obama and the UN have tried to do for Palestine.

    He was speaking FROM HIS EXPERIENCE!!! He successfully ran an Olympics. The security problems were being widely reported. There was no "gaffe".

    And he was perfectly correct, it is the Palestinians and their culture of corruptness and oppression of their own people that keeps them poor and their economy in shambles. This is like when the press tried to claim Reagan's "Tear down this wall" was a gaffe. It was an historical moment.

    Correct, there was no gaffe. There was no tact, either... which seems to be lost on you folks. Look, I'm aware of attempts to liken this to Reagan's "Tear down this wall", but Olympic handlings don't compare to the Cold War, especially when Romney is so quick to walk back his comments with a very apologetic "My experience with regards to the Olympics is it is impossible for absolutely no mistakes to occur".

    No need for it, he spoke the truth and gave his qualified view of both matters. Say what you mean and mean what you say are good qualities. I could care less if the liberal media took offense.

    Right, When in a foreign country, the future POTUS, when asked a direct question should LIE to spare the feelings of that country. Is their some methodology whereupon that country can determine whether the POTUS is lying to spare their feelings or telling the truth about something important?

    And "MINISCULE" gaffes. In your world obama gaffes are meaningless, but any gaffe by Romney disqualifies him from the presidency. obama has made twice as many speeches as any other president and that gives him the opportunity to make gaffes more often than any other president. And obama has made full use of his gaffe opportunities. That the massively bias liberal media tries to smooth over b.o.'s constant gaffes does not make them 'miniscule.'

    http://hotair.com/archives/

    Here are some miniscule obama gaffes:

    National debt, WAS $10.6 trillion, NOW $16 trillion just 43 months later.

    Unemployment, WAS 7.8%, NOW 8.3% and has been above 8% for all but the first 11 days of b.o.'s wasted time in office.

    Deficit gaffes,

    Previous RECORD high deficit, $458.6 BILLION, BILLION WITH A "B"

    obama's deficits:

    $1.412,7 TRILLION WITH A "T!"

    $1.293,5 TRILLION

    $1,299.6 TRILLION.

    $1,327.0 TRILLION

    Deficits [gaffes] of amounts never before even contemplated.

    The media didn't have to when the host nation did, which was the point... and there is always a need for tact when involved in foreign relations.

    Does Romney have a shot?

    Rasmussen, Likely Voters, 45-45 tie, 10 undecided.

    Gallup, Registered voters, 46-45 obama, 9 undecided.

    Both within the margin of error.

    Naw, Romney is doomed. He has no chance. I'll probably not bother voting the outcome is so clear. Those undecided voters won't make a difference.

    We don't need a tactful politician. We need a truthful politician who tells it like it is.

    And I'm sure that you will say as much . . . right up until he starts talking about you. :p

    Perhaps now you understand the need for tact?
