(1,935 posts)that's half of your party, maybe more!
horrible thing is, it hasnt always been! I want religion out of politics. It has no place up on that kind of scale. Im an atheist. But i accept all forms of life, but it has no belonging in politics. My party needs to get back to its roots, of liberty. Not social conservatism, which is basically fucking nazism.

Because thats not what a republican used to stand for. They used to be about freedom. Now they are about social restricitons. I dont give a shit if mitt romney would have been amazing for the economy. anyone that against gay marriage and abortion has no place!!!! trust me, us reasonable republicans are not those bible banging so-cons. we hate them as well

(11,463 posts)As governor of Massachusetts, Romney was 47th out of 50 states in job creation. Yes, only 3 states did worse.
And he grew Massachusett's debt until it became #1 (worst) in per capita debt (it was #2 before he took office, so it wasn't a big jump in ranking, but still it was in the wrong direction for someone who was "great economically" . While the U.S. as a whole had 5% growth, Romney's Massachusetts grew at 0.9%. And it had a decline in real median income.
And as presidential campaigner, all he did was tell you he's going to cut tax rates 20% and other tax breaks that together will cost $5 trillion over a decade, increase core defense spending $2 trillion over a decade, and have balanced budgets -- yeah right, Mr. Wizard. Oh he was going to pay for all this all by eliminating loopholes, but refused to tell us which ones he had in mind.
Sorry you got PPR'd. LOL.
