    I haven't.

    When running for elections come along (which seems to be all the time now) the party faithful are trotted out and they all repeat the same narratives. When someone strays from the narrative by actually discussing something they are treated like a heretic. Obama gave us a lot of empty platitudes. Romney changed the way he presented himself to appear to be more conservative. These things fall flat for those of us that are wary of politicians.

    I personally can understand why Mitt would feel pressured to attempt to please the party faithful………. but you are so correct… that what he had to do to receive the Republican Party nomination……… came back to haunt him during his campaign against President Obama!

    In our modern system of elections you get one shot as nominee, he lost, so he's damaged goods now. There are far better choices available anyway...

    A nice guy, but he makes far to many gaffes and lacks the necessary charisma to get elected. I'd vote for Rand Paul if he ran.

    I didn't vote because I want to see what happens in November.

    If the GOP takes the House AND Senate, then it's a matter of what they do with it.

    at that point, I would seriously think about who should run in 2016.

    A lot of very well informed people are worried about a significant devaluation of the USA dollar perhaps even before 2020.

    Desperate times lower our expectations.

    He almost beat an incumbent President which only happened three times since WWII.

    I think that America is warming up to him as the most moderate well known Republican.

    If a national currency goes through a time when people question its value a local currency has the potential to fill in the gap in the incomes of at least a segment of the population of the areas where people will work together with their neighbors.

    A better way to go is with silver and gold coins they do not lose their value but in fact increase in value.

    The downside is that they are heavy to carry around!

    Plus the gold and silver that is in them could have life saving applications in some treatments or devices and so tying them up in coins may be a waste.

    Human life has infinite value…….. gold, silver, oil and other commodities have value as they can improve and/or save human life.

    To my thinking Mitt would be the man who could cooperate most effectively with a proposed peace deal between Jordan and Israel if P. M. Stephen Harper decided to jump on the opportunity even before the 2015 Canadian federal election:



    http://www.politicalforum.com/relig...s-p-m-brokering-jordan-israel-peace-deal.html
    Please pray or meditate on Canada's P. M. brokering Jordan - Israel peace deal?



    I know that many of you pray or meditate so please

    pray that P. M. Stephen Harper initiate a peace deal between Jordan and Israel?

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I am a member of a different Canadian political party but……… I have to admit that P. M. Stephen Harper is for good reason regarded as a rather "Davidic" figure by a high percentage of Israelis.

    What he did for Israel back in 2011 at the G-8 was one of the most courageous and wise acts by a political leader that I have seen since I began to watch world events back in the '70's!

    Yes...… but real estate within fifth to a hundred miles from any major city is soon going to skyrocket in value as people in the cities attempt to become more and more self sufficient.

    There is an ancient Islamic prophecy that in the latter days........ money would become abundant and the deserts of the Islamic nations would be turned green. This sure sounds similar to Isaiah chapter 35 in the Jewish Bible.




    This near death experience account has artistic value.............. has potential diplomatic value......… has the potential to play a role in making the nation of Jordan safer from civil war as the "Arab Spring Movement" threatens to spread........ has obvious advantages for Jewish Israelis......… would make life much more peaceful for all Palestinians who don't absolutely have their hearts set on becoming suicide bombers...........or have that career absolutely picked out for their kids...........and has obvious advantages for all people who think that it might be a good idea to try to prevent nuclear WWIII from being started?!

    Yes.... and I thought that Grokmaster made an exceptionally insightful comment here:


    New CNN Poll: Americans Overwhelmingly Wish They Had Voted for Romney
    http://www.politicalforum.com/curre...rwhelmingly-wish-they-had-voted-romney-3.html


    ........but it is highly likely that he will not begin campaigning until 2015.......

    I read an interesting article about his campaign yesterday.... and turned it into a new thread.....


    http://www.politicalforum.com/lates...-idea-gaining-steam-among-his-supporters.html

    Romney 2016 idea gaining steam among his supporters



    I agree with the idea that Mitt could announce his plans to run around Labor Day 2015 and immediately have the lead in the G.O.P. race.

    Meh, I'll vote for him again if I have to, but I really want somebody better. We need another Reagan. Someone that knows the difference between right and wrong and has the courage to defend what's right without apprehension. Romney is no Reagan. If you're not willing to do this, then you don't have the balls to be a good president:

    I still remember tuning into a speech by Ronald Reagan back in the '70's. He was an astonishingly good speaker. He reminded me of Christian comedian Garner Ted Armstrong who I listened to a lot when I was a kid.

    Mitt Romney? Did he run before? I thought Obama ran unopposed.

    Thats great if you have an economy of 80 billion dollars, but there isn't enough silver and gold to serve as the currency of the current world economy.

    Exactly!!!!!

    Pieces of paper are necessary..... and we need some with high denomination levels as well for large deals.

    Financing the turning green of the deserts of Jordan will be expensive...… but will save lives!

    In my opinion...… the reputation that the Republican Party has gotten for itself is so bad that nobody ..... no matter how strong he or she was.....could carry the thoroughly sick G. O. P. through an election over these past six years.

    Films like......… The World According to Monsanto...… The Future of Food.........… Food Inc........ The Michael Moore films........ An Inconvenient Truth...............… the list goes on and on and on........ and very few people can continue to just laugh at the power of the footage shown in these films........

    Mitt Romney ....... flawed and human as he is..... at least has a reputation for attempting to get Republicans to have a clue regarding some of the really big ethical questions that America is facing....... All those nations that are burning Monsanto seeds......… are they actually doing the ethical and correct thing????????!!!

    Maybe so?????!!!

    Maybe America is not the good guy...… riding on the white horse....... carrying the pearl handled revolver..... wearing the white hat and suit.........?????!!!!


    Matthew 5:25


    "Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. "

    Watch the Burzynski films.

    Name the actors in the films that the G.O. P. is most like?

    My guess would be Dr. Devorit Samid and Dr. David Kessler, (pardon my spelling)!
