This is the very kind of personal intrusion us conspiracy theorists have been warning you about for years. Not only that, one of our own SoxTalkers is openly advocating for and condoning this activity. Time to stock up on the heavy duty tinfoil now and keep the political parties out of my head.

KipWellsFan Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 That was a disgraceful speech yesterday by Romney. You know the guy's just way to smart to believe even half the loony crap he rambled off. I gotta agree with Jon Stewart on this one. "f*** You" Mitt Romney!

What makes me the most upset about these concession speeches is that they are usually the most detailed speeches. Where was that on the campaign trail? Get the word out. Put yourself on the line.

The "Vote for a Democrat = Vote for the terrorists" fearmongering tactics worked like a charm in 2004 so what the hell, Mittens thought he'd flog that dead horse one last time. Like you, I expect his 5 military-age sons will all be enlisting next week since they no longer are serving their country by helping get Dad elected.

I don't think it's that cut and dry, no. and I don't think he was saying if you watch a porno you're gonna get divorced and be born out of wedlock, but if that's how you want to see it thats fine.

I want you to know, I've given this a lot of thought -- I'd forestall the launch of a national campaign and, frankly, I'd make it easier for Senator Clinton or Obama to win. Frankly, in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign be a part of aiding a surrender to terror. He has to leave the race because if he doesn't it would help the Dems and that is tantamount to a surrender to terror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
