So how do you explain that even the Los Angeles Times, a very conservative newspaper, reported that there comes a time when you have to choose ethics and reporting the truth?

Even when Rick Santorum was asked by Andrew Mitchell why he keeps repeating what has been proven false by several reliable sources and was even a program requested by Republican governors, he just laughed.

"In fact, Obama did not waive the work requirement."

"His administration in July issued a letter to state governments saying that the Department of Health and Human Services would consider requests from states to experiment with new ways to fulfill the work requirements. The letter said that in order to receive waivers to carry out the experiments, states would have to show that their plans would move more welfare recipients into jobs than existing policies.

How could ANYBODY think the Los Angeles Times is a CONSERVATIVE newspaper?

it's absolutely NOT A CONSERVATIVE PAPER. It's blatantly LIBERAL.

Of the 20 major media outlets studied, 18 scored left of center, with CBS' "Evening News," The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times ranking second, third and fourth most liberal behind the news pages of The Wall Street Journal.

This is absolutely correct. Via my education, I should be, and have been, a Republican. Their values are despicable and being registered as one made me feel like a wh**e. I am now a Democrat. That is correct. They only care about a select group of people's best interests. They're almost like the old quote: "What's good for General Motors is good for the country." I forgot who said that and when, but it created quite a stir. For the GOPs, that mentality is still there. In the process, the "rubber meets the road" people are forgotten. I can't hang with that. Derailing the Democrats seems to be their whole agenda, irrespective of content.

He also said he had a wife and kids during the same time frame and no paycheck coming in. How did he afford all that?

Mitt and Ann had to sell some of the stock portfolio they received from their parents to make ends meet. You know, just like every other struggling college student.

Ann Romney came across in her speech just like I expected. She oozes entitlement attitide and her speech was a trite, meaningless ode to her husband. It was exactly the kind of speech you would expect an obedient, Mormon, Stepford wife to deliver. I found it more than a little creepy.

Glad you posted it again, so we do not forget what he said, and all can see that we have not taken anything out of context!
