How does vetoing a $100,000 increase equal "defunding"? -- nm - Ender May 11, 07:37 5
- because he later would disband it entirely -- nm - znufrii May 11, 07:42 4
  - After they went beyond their mandate for something that they knew would infuriate the governor. - spamlet May 11, 07:48 2

    - "(Romney) had issued official statements in 2003 and 2004 praising a similar gay youth pride day and parade." - znufrii May 11, 07:52
  - (it's a poor choice of excerpt from the source article) -- nm - znufrii May 11, 07:44
it's a little more complicated than that, but still not pretty -- (link) - znufrii May 11, 07:30 18

  - "Well, he framed me for armed robbery, but man, I'm aching for that upper-class tax cut." -- nm - Roger More May 11, 07:45
  - This blip on the radar is nothing. This election will be about the economy, the economy, the economy. -- nm - Bacon May 11, 07:43 13
    - doesn't mean it shouldn't be talked about. -- nm - znufrii May 11, 08:03 1
      - Uh, in his mind it does. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 11, 08:35
    - That is certainly what the GOP establishment wishes. Keep wishing. -- nm - con_carne May 11, 07:52 4
      - Haha, if you don't think the economy will be the main issue you are out of touch. - Bacon May 11, 07:57 3
        
        I would also point out that SSM is an issue for people who are looking for ways Obama and Romney are different. Because let's face it: - con_carne May 11, 08:03
        
        Oh Redmond, quit making me laugh. -- nm - MDH May 11, 08:03
        
        That is not what I'm saying. I agree that this election will be about kitchen table issues, but guess what: SSM has become one of those issues. -- nm - con_carne May 11, 07:59

    - I think all the little things to dislike about Romney will add up and have an effect, if only on turnout. -- nm - mara May 11, 07:50 4
      - Unless we start sliding into recession. The memories of the last recession are too fresh. - Bacon May 11, 07:53 3
        
        * get me the oil companies on the line - we need increases in prices!* -- nm - GOP May 11, 07:55 2
        
        A Texan posting this cracks me up!! -- nm - Bacon May 11, 07:58 1
        
        I hate oil companies as much as insurance companies -- nm - Epiphany May 11, 08:14
  - I don't pretend to understand it either. - znufrii May 11, 07:41 1
    - GOProud are very very self loathing. -- nm - MDH May 11, 07:43
