So much for "electability." Politics ain't beanbag as ABC rips large holes in GOP candidates. Romney's off-shore accounts and Gingrich's second ex-wife.

"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned," spoken by Zara in Act III, Scene VIII of The Mourning Bride, William Congreve, 1697.
ABC catches Romney with money in the Grand Caymans and tonight will interview Newt Gingrich's second ex-wife. Ouch. Of course, I'm happy for Romney to avoid all the taxes he can from this stupid system, but the Obamanoids are going to hand this schmuck his head if he becomes the nominee. So much for "electability."
Although it is not apparent on his financial disclosure form, Mitt Romney has millions of dollars of his personal wealth in investment funds set up in the Cayman Islands, a notorious Caribbean tax haven.
A spokesperson for the Romney campaign says Romney follows all tax laws and he would pay the same in taxes regardless of where the funds are based.
As the race for the Republican nomination heats up, Mitt Romney is finding it increasingly difficult to maintain a shroud of secrecy around the details about his vast personal wealth, including, as ABC News has discovered, his investment in funds located offshore and his ability to pay a lower tax rate.

Romney's electability stems from the fact that most states now use the Diebold voting machines. McCain came back from solid defeat once the primarys hit the states with these fraud magnets.

No matter how the people vote, the "voting machines" will secure a "victory" for Mitt Romney in the Republican primaries, as they did for McCain.

Unless the people figure this out and stop it, the "election" will go hot.

The GOP doesn't want to present us with a candidate that America wants because it might keep the Chupacabra from being re-elected and that would force their hand by golly.

Neither one of these is worthy of the American vote. Everybody has failings and shortcomings, but these two off the rack politicians and it's disgusting.

We can put forth better men than these two. We have better. Almost anybody would be better. In the immortal words of Hawkeye Pierce in his rebellion against unvarying servings of liver and fish...We want something else! We want something else!

The media is more than welcome to torpedo Newt and Romney. It is my personal belief that there is only one honest candidate running; Dr. Ron Paul.

Rick Perry just dropped out and endorsed....Gingrich. So much for the kind of president Perry would have made.

Herr Mitt has money in the Caymans ..?.. shucks .... I had such high hopes for the progressive GOP handing the Obamaroids a second term.

How about Ron Paul fleeing the draft, leaving multiple ex-wives and feral children in his wake, and secret overseas 9-digit-balance accounts? No such things exist, contrary to the other candidates.

Romney is the chosen one, by the elite, for the elite, to rule the masses. Besides, it's his turn to be the figurehead. f...-that.

Default, re-org, de-fraudulize the system. All expenditures and liabilities must be "on the books" and accounted for, no matter how awful it looks. Re-issue the currency with a balanced budget requirement, criminalize eternal pension escalators on the back of taxpayers, reduce combined public pensions to maximum of 50% of the highest paid elected official, beginning at age 65. Work should pay better than not-work, at least in the public sphere. End the SS ponzi, even if it means dropping everyone under 55 from expecting retirement benefits. The tax will still exist for several decades so that grandma doesn't get put into the street.

Some folks will be on the street, due to their own behavior. Alcoholic? Non-compensable. Drug addict? Sorry. Crazy? Re-open mental hospitals closed it the 1980's. No one has "a right" to be intoxicated and infectious on the sidewalk. this is a real problem in cities with mild winter weather. There will be warehousing (at State expense, and not luxurious) of folks who can't get along, and lack resources or family.

Kick your Congressbum out. Don't worry about the others, yours is likely worse than average, and "average" Congressmen/Senators are anti-liberty. Elect someone who will relentlessly vote "NO!" on bad legislation and too-long legislation, and bills there has been no time to read.

Electability? I'm looking for "survivability".

Meanwhile, Dr. Ron Paul has got his money in precious metals, mining stocks, real estate, and cash.*

I'm sure that freaks out the legacy media, but it sure makes me feel good about Paul's integrity. Finding a person with his integrity anywhere in the whole Fedzilla operation is like finding a four-leaf clover, in the Mohave Desert.

Ron Paul knows what's in store for us financially. Most of the sheeple don't want to hear it, though.

A masterpiece of agitprop, and a piece of sanitizing truth that are both absolute must see's along the vein of this post.
Great minds think alike.
The awakening grows.

Ron Paul's no better, unfortunately. Loads up bills that he knows will pass with pork, then votes "no," and claims to be anti-pork because he voted against the bill. He raids the public trough just like everyone else in Congress.

Points for successfully gaming the system, I guess, but not exactly honest. Pity, because if he had actually taken a stand on principle, it would have been a big advantage in this election.

Too bad the media won't employee the same research enthusiasm for Barry Soetoro.

Oh wait, my mistake, the media did their research and Barry and found him to be of sterling character without significant flaws or questionable background.

We still have no one who went to school with him, none of his 'law reviews' nor any accountability for his activities outside the U.S. Nor do we have any critical investigations into his financial accountability as a community organizer, his rise in prominence to a 'less than one term' Senator or complete disclosure of his fund raising activities as a Presidential candidate.

But we know all about Mitt's money and Newt's wife!

Cheyenne six million one and counting...

Zero the Usurper n thief has also yet to disclose prima facie evidence of a birth on U.S. soil, per requirement of Constitution. Shouldn't be a big deal, yet nothing but lies and obfuscation. And it's for a reason. Court hearing January 26 in Georgia should be interesting, many people are trying to get Zero off the ballot and it's heating up. Maybe he'll show his "proof" this time. Not.
