by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny Republican Presidential candidate and presumptive nominee Mitt Romney is touring battleground states to get his "supposedly" conservative message out. Given his record as a one term Governor of Massachusetts (he opted not to run for a second term) who increased fees so as not to call them taxes, and his legacy RomneyCare it has me scratching my head. About the conservative message thingy anyway. Romney's record has been distorted by both   liberal progressives and conservatives. In reality Romney's record is a mixed bag, and it is true he has been known to "evolve" his position.  More on Mitt's record from the perspective of the business community . Romney, like all politicians is using his tour to preach to the choir and hope his message resonates and sticks to many still on the fence, thus pushing them into his column. While Romney may very well be the more qualified individual to sit...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny Fast forward to the 12 minute 17 second marker on the video and hear what presidential candidate Mitt Romney had to say to Bob Schieffer on how he believes the President has the power to act unilaterally with respect to military action, specifically (in this case) Iran. Possibly another cowboy (GWB)? So much for the Constitution and or the War Powers Resolution of 1973. This Romney dude could turn out to be a real loose cannon. Face the Nation - SCHIEFFER : Let me turn to foreign policy.

He says it is time for the President to go to the Congress and say, “I want you to authorize me to be able to use military force” if that becomes necessary. And he says if the President is not willing to do that, then the Congress should do it themselves. What's your take on that? R...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism Here's Mitt! Mr. RHINO himself. Preparing to run on the Republican ticket for the job of POTUS in 2012. If RomneyCare {ObamaCare light} in and of itself isn't enough to push the ignore button on his guy there are certainly other issues to consider that combined with this should. While in Las Vegas Mr. RHINO criticized the Presidents policy in the Middle East, He said the President hasn't been tough enough with Iran and the nations nuclear program and was surprised that Secretary Clinton referred to Syria's leader as a reformer. Translation, another interventionist and nation builder in the mold of Bill Clinton, George W, Bush, and Barrack Hussein Obama. Another indication of Mr. RHINO's position was his silence on Libya when questioned. IMHO his silence speaks volumes with respect to his position on nation building and military intervention. I guess Mr. RHINO, like the President...
