Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod. . . THEY'RE LISTENING IN ON OUR THOUGHTS NOW!!!

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.

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!

Meh, If he was half as smart as he tries to project he would have stayed home and kept his $40 mil in the bank.

I thought it was a great speech. The best speech he ever made.

The speech was just loaded with about every right-wing talkshow radio host cliche. It was almost like a parody of them it was so over the top.

I have never listened to a rightwing radio talk show in my life so I wouldn't know.

It was like "Mitt Romney does Stephen Colbert as Sean Hannity." I was waiting for a rimshot after some of the lines.

I totally agree...it made me so angry I turned it off. 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. Don't wait til ya quit...Mitt.

With the crazy, at times Pat Robertson like stuff he was saying...........he was better off waiting to give that much detail until he dropped out.

Some of you people can't comprehend that what is crazy to you isn't crazy to a whole lot of others.

So you agree that pornography is the reason for a high divorce rate and the amount of people with only one parent in their life? If you do, your crazy just as Romney was for saying it yesterday. Sorry.

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.

If you don't feel that's right, then fine. You're certainly entitled to your opinion.

So is it your opinion that all of the Democratic voters here and everywhere in the country want to "Surrender" to Al Qaeda?

Reading through his speech again, he made some good points. But he just went way over the top with some of the rhetoric to the point that it was comical.

Nope I don't think democrats want to lose to Al Qaeda, I just think we have different ideas of how to win.

That's a perfectly reasonable position. Rheotoric like "Hillary and Obama want to surrender Iraq to Al Queda and let them attack America" is just BS for the ultra-conservative audience he was pandering to.

I can't find that quote in the speech.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Feb 8, 2008 -> 01:20 PM)
I can't find that quote in the speech.

Page 3, towards the end.

ROMNEY: ... 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.

About as accurate as saying Bush wants to invade every country that we don't like...

Right that's not the quote StrangeSox posted.
