In his visit to Poland, Mitt Romney praised Solidarity, the Polish trade union movement which helped topple the communist state.

But Solidarity distanced itself from Mr Romney on Monday, saying he had supported attacks on unions in his own country.

(V): Has an original thought ever escaped Romney's lips? He is the manifestation of a system that has become critical of every aspect of a candidate. to the point of creating a virtual robot.I don't think anyone knows what Romney really thinks or believes, he will basically say whatever that specific audience wants, or what is politically in his best interests.I have never seen a candidate who is as pre programmed, but we get what we deserve

The Col: mmm... I can't say I can agree with that, ever since the UK politicians all adopted a standard code of using their hands that is deemed... less aggressive. I think it's more a case of we get what they think we'll swallow, thus the return of immoral "by the book" expenses when the people of the UK said....

"who do you think you guys are?"

"I don't think anyone knows what Romney really thinks or believes, he will basically say whatever that specific audience wants...."

It has been noted by certain commentators that is the case to a degree with all parties. One did state it would interesting to see an atheist be President, yet being from the Judeo/Christian seems to a pre condition... an instant 'appeal' to 70%+ of Americans. That the Republican message is sermoned at churches as God's message.. well.

One day... a moral atheist not bound by 'the people of the book' will get to be Pres... I doubt though in my lifetime.

(V): Many members of the Judeo/Christian groups don't consider Mormon to be a classic "religion" , but will support Romney anyway.That either describes the depth of hate they have for Obama, or an openmindedness rarely on disply otherwise

The Col: Joseph Smith... His religion at least seems have been 'blessed' at last by US Christians... Not sure about him though.. Last I heard he was of the Anti-ChRiSt.... A messenger of the devil and all his followers were bound for hell.

Anyone of the Mormon faith was a deluded fool, a Satanist, yada, yada, yada...

... values held gospel are more flexible when it comes to politics. I just wish they'd dump the duplicity.

..... eg, the Tampa Bay lap dancing clubs are gearing up for a quadrupling in custom during the republican conference this year... even to the extent of hiring a well known exotic dancer/porn actress who looks like Sarah Palin.

.... .... mmmmmmm

It was the same with Bill Clinton. Charismatic. What else would anyone want from their president... as well as charm, grace, eloquence, clean, well spoken, regular pedicures, no visible nose hairs, shirt tucked in, strict adherence to what is printed on the teleprompter, basketball skills, putting in long hours on the golf course...

Man, there seems to be no end to presidential attributes.

The democrats thought Dubya was charismatic?

I know that can't be what you meant. Just as I really don't give a rats tail how good someone looks on the cover of GQ if he's the president. No one looks good when they are dragging the country down, no matter how handsome or well spoken. Running for president is not supposed to be a beauty contest, but I'm afraid that's what it's become.

The Col: I doubt an original thought has ever passed your lips either. Is there really such a thing as an "original" thought? If you think you've had one, share it with us so I can show you that your "original" thought is really and old idea.

Obama hasn't had an original thought either. So what? What follows from that?

As for this nonsense statement: "...I don't think anyone knows what Romney really thinks or believes, he will basically say whatever that specific audience wants, or what is politically in his best interests"

If you are suggesting that this is unique to Romney, then you are mistaken. MOST politicians are like this. Clinton was a classic example. When playing to the far left wasn't politically expedient, he played to the middle (and accomplished much as a result). Obama plays to the far left all day long. What's different?

You are a walking, talking, liberal spouting talking points machine. Nothing about what you say is original or unique. You're just a carbon copy of a liberal where common sense and critical thinking take a back seat to partisan pontifications. Now I may be a carbon copy of a conservative thinker, but in my case, I'm right. (no pun intended).

Temo: Re:
The Col: and raises a good point. Even your last statement can be found easily on a Google search. So much for your complaint about an "original thought." Do you even think these things through before you say them?

So I'll ask you again: What follows from your previous statement about Romney not having an original thought?

Or were you just whining again? Quick, someone call the Wambulance! http://thewambulance.com/
