quade 3 #2 September 7, 2012 Why would any leader give up the opportunity to learn something directly from his opposition? For him to make the original statement only served to make him look foolish.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RonD1120 58 #6 September 8, 2012 Wow! You found evidence that Romney changed his mind on an insignificant issue, namely watching BHO's speech. Think about it, the original comment was made on an PBS interview. Duh!Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

ianmdrennan 2 #7 September 8, 2012 QuoteWow! You found evidence that Romney changed his mind on an insignificant issue, namely watching BHO's speech. I'd hardly call it insignificant in terms of their campaigns. The biggest mistake either candidate can do is underestimate the other. All Romney did was box himself into a corner with the statement. Either he was a terrible opponent, or he as full of it (turns out the latter was true) QuoteThink about it, the original comment was made on an PBS interview. Duh! Ron, as usual you're missing the point (and incorrect too). It's not 'only' on PBS, a simple google search will show you a dozen sites reporting it. Here, let me help you http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Romney+not+watching+speech The fact that he made the first statement was stupid, and when he did I called BS on it. As usual, Romney proved me right.Performance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here, let me help you http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Romney+not+watching+speech The fact that he made the first statement was stupid, and when he did I called BS on it. As usual, Romney proved me right. It was a silly question and therefore insignificant. He is presenting himself as a leader. He knows what BHO stands for and what he is likely to say in his DNC speech. In projecting confidence, he simply states he is not going to sweat the small stuff. Also, he has staff to advise him if BHO says anything new and worthwhile. Which of course, he did not. It was an impromptu answer of personal strength. Later some adviser probably suggested he tone it down. So he did. You posted the link as if it were on PBS so I took you at your word. I did not watch the video because I too thought it was as immaterial as Romney's original response. It just seems to me that liberals spend so much time looking at the shape and color of the leaves and the texture of the bark on the trees that they never see the edge of the forest. Thank you for the attempted put down. Your action speaks volumes.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

RonD1120 58 #10 September 8, 2012 QuoteQuoteWow! You found evidence that Romney changed his mind on an insignificant issue What about a significant issue? You have a problem with that by any chance? Abortion is not a significant issue; it is a hot button issue in the left wing main stream media. Women believe the economy is the most important issue in this election. Everyone has accepted the fact that this country will kill unborn children. Roe v. Wade will never be repealed. Nothing to see here, just move on.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

masterblaster72 0 #12 September 9, 2012 Ron's suspicions about Obama have been correct all along -- who would have thought? Obama: 'Help Us Destroy Jesus And Start A New Age Of Liberal Darkness' Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

RonD1120 58 #15 September 9, 2012 Oh, and BTW, he is not my shinning knight. Romney is just the other choice. BHO failed, he can't lead, he created more turmoil. He needs to be replaced.

Nope. People change their minds all the time. You expect anyone to make a statement and right, wrong or indifferent to go to their grave with it?
