You're not the one who decides what sounds American and what doesn't. Your name, whatever it may be, is no less American than his. You are no more indigenous to this land than he is.
Thanks. I hate this kind of more American than thou bs. Hated when moose lady tried it, and hate it now.
It's a very good illustration of the depths the GOP has sunk to that not one single decent candidate could be persuaded to run against Obama. Somewhere in that great big country there must be a true conservative who is honest, smart and capable of being a decent POTUS. I'm sure there is but whoever it is is not willing to run in this throwback, degenerate, anti everything, corrupt, dishonest, perversion of a political joke the GOP has become.
I think Romney will lose. The guy is a plastic version of Obama, airbrushed to (near) perfection. What kind of campaign strategy is "Romney must be the nominee, that way we won't lose as bad"?
I don't think Romney will win but it's not because he's a "goon".
Perhaps you were never made to take a debate class so let me give you a piece of advice:
"Because he's a goon" is not a strong debate tactic. It's opinion.
You debate with facts. So show us some facts that Romney is a "goon" as you say. Show us facts that illustrate why you don't think he will win. Stop being a liberal for just one moment and use facts instead of your feeeeeeeeeeeeelings.
And was governor of Massachusetts and still lives there.
Yep.
Massachusetts is Romney's home state, in the same way that Reagan was a Californian (despite being born in Illinois) and McCain is an Arizonan -- hey, who knows, maybe some people think he's actually Panamanian just because he was born there!

I agree, I wish somebody had told the media that about a month or so ago.

The media recognizes ties to states other than home states. They certainly did with Obama and Hawaii, for example. Can't really blame them in the case of Romney and Michigan, consider Romney himself made such a connection:
Quote:
On Tuesday, Mitt Romney added his voice to the chorus of political writers, observers and commentators who describe Michigan as his "home state." Romney opened his op-ed in the Detroit News with the trying-way-too-hard lines, "I am a son of Detroit … I grew up drinking Vernors and watching ballgames at Michigan and Trumbull.
I don't begrudge him doing so -- it just makes political sense to emphasize such ties.
