All too well..............

I was sittin' here thinking. We had another president accused of a cover-up, didn't we?

His name will come to me .....

How was his transgression handled? I forget.

Oh well, he was a Republican anyway so there's no chance of that happening this time.

The Declaration of Independance says,"....We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

I think it's funny when we say he's rich therefore he's evil...., except Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. I do believe Barack is also a millionaire via book sales too. But for some reason, he's not part of the rich club who secretly wants to undermine society?
I think just because people are able to establish wealth, doesn't defaultly make them liars or corrupt. But if it does, then lets be fair and add pretty much every politician to the list in Washington. And I don't mean just look at their bank accounts, look at their lifestyles, and what they do and how they do it. I can't think of one senator or congressman who lives in a shack, or a trailer, lives paycheck to paycheck, etc.
I'm tired of this thought process. It's based of heresay, and doesn't speak about the individual's ability to lead a country.

If you believe in the Declaration of Independance, then you can't promote socialism. Socialism promotes the pursuit of mediocrity. By default, arguing rich people are evil, is arguing for socialism, and arguing for a level playing field, where no matter how hard you work, you will never be able to better yourself or your family above mediocrity. It's simple when you think about it. Really!

Ya know what guys. Both sides of the isle learn once in the Presidents office it is a whole new game of politics. I think running for the office and making promises before hand and changing direction on those promises is just apart of it. I do think that is a fair statement.

My point about Mitt was he was bagged,sealed,and delivered back in 2008 by Kennedy in a debate and lost the election.Someone got to him and told him if he ever wanted to run for President this is what he would have to do. Now look at those changes and I do think it is logical that is what happened. Now my point,that isn't leadership,that's selling out.

I asked the same thing back in post #1183 still haven't seen it

This is a bit of a “gear change” but I believe it to be relevant and germane to our “overall discussion” as we now see some very interesting poll numbers and I even heard Sam Donaldson say this morning, “… it looks like the election may be Mr. Romney’s to lose.” Interesting that even staunch democrats and liberals are starting to distance themselves from Mr. Obama as they always want to be perceived (yeah right) as supporting the winner.

I believe what has caused this shift is the unfortunate events in Banghazi that are now coming to light and it is obvious that this administration attempted to downplay and then cover up an egregious lack of support for Ambassador Christopher Stevens and his staff. This has nothing to do with any “previous administration” and surely even the most ardent supporters of Mr. Obama must realize that the buck has stopped at his desk (by way of Hilary Clinton) and that he is ultimately responsible for the brutal murder of Americans at the hands of terrorists. This is by far and away more important than the results of any debate in influencing the people of America to swing the polls in favor of Mr. Romney.

As to Mr. Romney’s wealth – most who complain about such are jealous. The big difference between me and Bill Gates is that he was at the right place at the right time and he was willing to take risks that I would not have! Why isn’t Bill Gates “demonized” as Mr. Romney is? He was certainly born to a well-to-do family (look up Preston, Gates & Ellis – Attorneys at Law). I’ve yet to hear anyone bash Bill – oh wait; he’s a liberal democrat so it’s okay for him to be rich. How about George Soros? Ah yes, another liberal who finances all kinds of “anti-republican” efforts with millions of dollars – but hey, that’s alright because his political views are free speech and protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution - just like yours and mine are!!

Jim, are you thinking of Tricky Dickey's H20Gap fiasco?
Or am I in left field again? Where I've been most of the day today ;-)

Yeah! That was his name!

Thanks, Emmett. You too, Ken.

mellow yellow you are correct...And no one was killed a big plus, this coverup makes the Watergate event look like child's play.

And our vaunted main stream media pounced on that story like flies on a cow paddy and the only think tricky Dick was guilty of was being fiercely loyal to his inner circle and then lying about it, reminds me of someone else who lied under oath, but he got away with it. And I could care less about his sex life and I would have probably done the same thing if I had to wake up to that every morning.

Oh Alan.................................I still see your posts, chill out.............................as for Gary, there's likely more to that outcome than you or I are aware of. Bill's been pretty loose in his grip by most standards.

No reason for a total lock down just because a few people prefer to not follow the rules and regulations they agreed to when they signed up for an account here.

I would have done better than a chubby, plain - faced intern
