Romney's percentages in the Western states look more like Soviet election percentages than anything else. And I think we all know why that is.
It appears that certain individuals are voting for this guy solely because he has the same religion as they do and are expecting special favors in return. It can't be because of any substantive stance on any issues, because let's face it — Romney has no substantive stances.
We'll of course see a repeat of this in the general election too. And it stinks, because I hate to see people be so cynical about the political process that they vote for someone solely based on what their personal religious beliefs are. There's people dying in Afghanistan and a huge debt crisis, America deserves better than people blindly voting based on one personality trait of a candidate.
Oddly, I suspect if it were Ron Paul raking in the big votes you'd take it as popular acceptance of his ideas - not people liking him because they're too dumb or short-sighted to see why they shouldnt.
Just because you don't understand or agree with a choice doesn't make it a poor choice.

You know that is probably true. Doesn't make any of it right, but it is probably true.

owl... Greetings... Yes, it might be standard Republican thought/arguments on the stimulus package, a thought/argument shared by many independent leaning economists, but one thing worth noting: when Salt Lake City was playing host to the 2000 Winter Games, they faced serious budgetary shortfalls. Of all the individuals in this country with a sharp business acumen, who did the USOC and Salt Lake Officials turn to for help? Mitt Romney. Mr. Romney took the structure in place, pulled it apart, studied it, reconfigured it and those games went from crimson ink to black. Mitt Romney, like him, detest him, show indifference to him, has a proven track record in the world of business and finance. His thoughts on the stimulus might not be right. But they might not be wrong, either. mk

The only thing that's unusual in anyway is that
a) your post resurrected an old thread - meaning that it shouldn't matter, but this might be a sign of busted code somewhere
Yep, bugs and bugs. Some days searching post text seems to be disabled. It's almost like when you dig up a dormant thread and post in it, it disrupts the flow of time, like the time portal in that Star Trek episode, City on the Edge of Forever So where the hell is Joan Collins?

Aw, man, I was hoping you'd have the answer, Beak. Did I do something wrong in my post yesterday? Format glitch? I'll go have a look. (scapegoat, we need a scapegoat . . .) (edit: Didn't see anything obviously wrong in my post; with the new page editor now that it accepts angled brackets for embedded video, it's pretty straightforward pasting stuff from UToob etc., although I find I need to click on "Preview" twice before it shows up correctly on the preview page)
