Voting with Democrats does not make then Moderates.

Democrats will vote for a moderate Republican and they aren't shamed by the Democratic party for doing so. Republicans rarely vote for a moderate Democrat and they would be shamed if they did. The blue state Maryland voted twice for Hogan, a moderate Republican. And if he could run a third term he would probably get re elected.

I heard from a reliable source that mitt did not pay tax for 10 years!!!


Mitt never explained Romney care in MA, just showed a stupid grin and talked around the question.


Mitt played both sides, acquitting on one charge, guilty on the other. Christ said, 'you are for me or against me, or I vomit you from my mouth'. clearly mitt's hotline to God was down, probably chewed through by a squirrel.


Wouldn't be surprised if Obama did not pay mitt to throw the 2012 election.

I don't recall Democrats demonizing McCain.


McCain was one of the most pragmatic and reasonable Republicans, and he had alot of respect from Democrats, even if we did not always agree with him.

Best way to wrap up this topic. Thank you for being the voice of reason.

How well do you know mitt? How privy are you to mitt's private life and what criminal activity he may have been involved in? So your comment is based on your perception of principals, or lack thereof, in which voting to impeach a President who did nothing wrong, was used against Americans.
Wanting corrupt politicians, who have gained political positions by their crookedness, who have committed Treason against the President of the USA, is hardly hurt feelings.

My question is, when all the facts and evidence are finally released concerning the corruption against Americans done by the dems and rinos, will some of you even care?

There is nothing moderate about a frothing at the mouth politician, determined to rid Americans of a President that they voted in who has done nothing wrong. The dems and rinos have had to make up one lie after another because their lies won't stick.
