Romney Fundraiser - Secret Taping

[Dr. Jones]

I'm still not convinced you are not a made up alias. And I mean that in the nicest way.

With all due respect (I like you), I'm not here to convince people of anything. Having said that, I know some people on the forum. Hell, I've even provided links to a couple of my companies' websites. I've never had any other account than this one .. and PKM is my initials.

 

[Dr. Jones]

oh, jeeze, are you for real?
so environment has nothing to do with those attributes?

Please explain how you inserted environment into the equation? Do you mean EPA stuff or his upbringing?

upbringing, total environment.
For example, are you sure that if he had to join a gang to survive puberty, he would have turned out the same way?

I'm not engaging in a debate where everything will be worst-case, worst decisions, possible kind of thing.

I'm out.

You know I am starting to think Obama has to be one of the worst candidates for president if he isn't absolutely slaughtering Mittens by now.

Battle of the titans.

I agree. Speaking for myself, I started my business career with a screw everyone, I'm gonna get mine, mentality. After several years I softened, a little.

As I got older I wanted to see good things happen for others more than for myself. Granted, I didn't need it anymore.
Still, not many people became ultra successful without leaving a bit of wreckage in their wake.

That's because opening new markets (or claiming your STOCK in the FLOW of money and goods) in today's purely competitve marketplace (where there is a guy with a gun and a prison to enforce contracts [without whom purely competitive markets don't develop]) requires a certain violence. Capitalism and war have always gone together, and this plays out on many scales.

Secondly, a wise woman I know once said, "It's easy to be a sage when you're loaded."

Truth in all of that.

Been thinking (beware).
The Romney campaign should double down on what he said. They should own it. The trouble for the left and media (but I repeat myself) is that most Americans agree with Mitt Romney. Most Americans consider themselves part of the 53% and it is not a winning proposition for Barack Obama to convince Americans they are less than they think they are when most Americans already recognize he has made them less than they were.

Team Romney should force this debate onto the national stage. They should not walk it back. The American people are with him. It is the perfect time to remind people that Barack Obama, who authored Obamacare, wants to now be the arbiter of people’s fair share. To Obama, fair share means you fork over your money so others can have a life of government dependency. Romney’s point about government dependency ties perfectly to the dreadful economic news of late and is a perfect pivot back to that.

He did double down today.
That's what conservative hacks do: double down when you're wrong and an ***. I think it is in the manual.

So should I re-post, errr, double-down?

I also like doublewides .. double-troubles..

Everyone except complete degenerate ****ing idiots would still be rich. But Romney was able to take his opportunity and turn it into something. I disagree with the idea that most people would see the same level of success Mitt has had, largely because there are a lot of millionaire children that don't end up running huge investment capital firms or becoming governors. Whether I agree with how he ran his business or his governorship or not. But he took his opportunity and ran with it which, again, is still more than a lot of people do at similar, greater, or lesser levels.

Of course that is not to say if he was born in a middle-class family or lower his fate would be even similar and I definitely contend that it would be basically anything but. Like the vast majority of the rest of us.

You've been ridiculously on point lately . I'm starting to wonder if Mitt has your inner LDS child better half trying to break through again. Go back to the guy we love to hate.
