Ok, Romney will not skip the debates, He will not drop out, He is not trying to lose the election!

Seems like there is one of these posts every day!!! WTF!

In 2008 people said the SAME THING about McCain.

Why do people think after spending millions, Romney would do any of these things?

... that things will turn out in the end, and if the media keeps playing the closeness game it really could be stolen yet again. I will NEVER forgot how my stomach dropped when late at night the Bush votes flipped, just f*&king flipped! He WAS losing, yet do you remember how Bush said with remarkable confidence a few hours earlier that he WILL win when it looked so bleak for him? If we have HUGE margins though, especially in FLA and OHIO they cannot do it. FUCK CNN!

It's talk as logical as that spouted by the right-wing cretins who think that lying and jumping the gun by 6 hours is equal to Kerry and Obama's reasoned critique of neo-con foreign policy.

He wants to win, his campaign think that Senor, Rumsfeld and Cheney are the very best people to speak on foreign policy.

He's a diabolical candidate and they're discredited ne'er do wells who still have a fetishistic urge to shape the world in their own terrifying mental image. It's that simple.

Except for that part where he undoes 3+ years of Obama diplomacy, which restored admiration and respect for America and throws us right back in the Bush years where the world hated our arrogance. That part kind of sucked. But it is fun watching him destroy himself.

And I imagine the Republicans who voted for him in the primaries are beside themselves. But on the other hand, what other choices did they have? All their options were horrible. Romney might have been the least horrible, and he's still absolutely horrible. Sad sad sad. That party is having some serious problems.
