No one likes Romney, it's just a question of if you dislike Obama more.

Sad that politics has come to this.

Well, regardless of your views on defense/war, hopefully most people knew this before today, right? I was just reading the comments on ksl and some people we're acting like this was the first time he has stated his views on the matter, when it's always been a consistent position of his. We're supposed to know this stuff before the whole caucus/primary season or that whole weeding out process doesn't work properly(not that I think it works properly anyway). He is an unabashed Neocon. His No Apology book lays it on thick. He also happens to be really really close to Benjamin Netanyahu, which is significant considering all the Isreal/Iran sabre rattling right now.

Romney's a boner. One of those little, thumb-like ones.
So your wife's out of town and EVERY ****** ******** post has the word boner? You must abuse you're old lady all day long.
That sounds like my ideal wife-out-of-town night .. that wouldn't get me divorced. Have fun, baby peter/
You are going to have neg reps from Colton for days for all them boners.
I do it for the love of the board.

No matter how drunk you may be, no matter how naked you may be.....you're still watching a Celtic's playoff game. That sir, is always a miserable experience. One that some of us are unfortunately sharing in at the moment.
Haha, tried to rep ..
I often wonder what it would be like to live in a blurry, often mesmerizing, alcoholic haze -- but then I read your posts and know. Imagine how much good you could've done for the world with that brain of yours, you know, 10 billion burned up brain cells ago. What a waste.

In all fairness to Mr. Romney, who of any Presidential candidates other than Paul has suggested cutting our military size/defense budget? Certainly not Obama.
What President other than Clinton has closed bases and cut the defense's budget in the last 30 years?
I think the out of control defense spending has more to do with Congress "fighting" for jobs and contractors buying off the government (there is clearly a military industrial "entitlement" that is sucking our resources) than anything else. Shutting down military bases or factories in your state and laying off thousands of workers for the good of the union is basically going to destroy any chances of becoming reelected in even the most anti-government pro private sector states.
Just imagine the uproar even the most "conservative" leaders in Utah would cause if the Hill were ever shut down! A loss of thousands of jobs! Despite what these political leaders say (anti government pro private sector), they love the jobs and (federal) handouts they receive. Hence, why you'll never see Utah volunteer the Hill to be shut down or refuse federal money to build roads. Hatch and co will fight tooth and nail to keep that base operational (all while sucking millions/billions from our coffers and driving up our debt).
