Peterson portrays Romney very delierfntfy than his public statements and actions. I think Romney's place is better left in the business world. Government is for the protection of individual rights (as mentioned in the AZ constitution and in the scriptures), Romney care is antithetical to individual rights, it's not about politics it is about what is right and what is wrong. Political expediency is not a good defense for not having to have done something, like Romney care.As for the gold standard being off kilter and Ron Paul supporters not understanding money. I say we should let the free market decide what is best, but instead we use the aggression of the government to tell us what is best, it is antithetical to freedom to have either system forced upon us.I would take the gold standard any day over the Fed, which takes money from the poor and gives it back to the rich.
of course it's a tax. Everyone knew it was a tax the whole time Obama was saying it wasn't. Most reasonable adults could see that Obama wasn't telling the truth about the health care bill. It finally took the supreme court to verify that congress doesn't have mandate power under the commerce clause. 7 justices agreed against Obama on that point. It is the largest middle class tax increase in the history of the world. This will bankrupt the middle class like only a tax and spend liberal could do.
The GOP hammer Romney for agreeing with Obama, if that's the case the GOP are going to boss him around as they are doing now.
bring back perry–romney is just plan boring
What would happen if such contradictory statements were made by President Obama? What would CNN and the rest of the media be doing – all over this story perhaps? This is not even etch-a-sketch, this is having dual personalities – CNN go demand answers from Romney – Romney has no credibility at all.
