You know what Romney actually is?

[Vote UKIP!]

How come any topic on Romney always devolves into a Romney hack-fest by politico?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Mitt is wholesome, but he is smart enough to know folks like you aren't going to stop doing what you do.

Being selfish hedonists, as I playfully put it? I can't imagine the type of lifestyle one leads when they have a social score in the -8's.

Um... a -8 score, isn't like a purity test score... you do know that don't you?

This is an odd claim from a man whom lists a -4.85 score!

A Chimp trained to flip a coin, voting randomly, presumably, would have a score of zero. As a conservative, I would not tolerate being represented by a Chimp voting a random. Why should I tolerate someone whom would vote worse than the chimp?

Quite sultry, I assure you. I'll spare you the titillation, lest you come down with a case of the vapors.

I live an extremely conservative lifestyle, but I am also a "live and let live" type of guy. What can I say. Nobody can doubt my conservative credentials where it matters (i.e., economics and foreign policy).

Why do people still respond to posts by "Gay people should be forced to live in ghettos" Politico?

If -4.85 isn't a basis for question your "conservative credentials," what is?

I have nearly +7 on the economics portion, and that was from restraining myself. My true score is probably +8 or above. Adam Smith and Milton Friedman are my heroes.

I could not be a bigger supporter of our military, too.

I live a conservative lifestyle, but I vehemently oppose Big Government attempts to legislate morality. It is not the proper place or role of government. I do agree that certain behavior/displays/attitudes can be quite disgusting these days, but the antidote is promoting better parenting moving forward. It is not the government's job or its proper role.

[Vote UKIP!]

Politico, the law is.the codification of our morality. Governments legislate morality all the time.

Absolutely. I should have stressed legislating morality where there is no victim. For example, I believe people should be free to choose whether or not they want to grow marijuana and consume it. Not my thing, but if we brought that market into the open I think there would be no victims, or at least not in the same sense as we do with regards to alcohol, which poisons quite a number of people each year but should still be legal IMHO. I think the war on drugs has been a failure, and we would probably be better off allowing many of these black markets to become legitimate like we did when we repealed prohibition. To give another example, people should be free to choose whether or not to have oral sex. If there are no victims, and especially if we're dealing with privacy, government ought to be out of the way. You get the idea.

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

man, nothing I like more after a long day of work than unwinding with my hedonistic -8.00 lifestyle

[Insula Dei]

If I had known that the only thing keeping me from a totally depraved life of sin was my arbitrary score on some online test, I'd have done more of an effort to score in the -9.00 region.

As do many of the people whom fancy themselves "libertarians."

A "conservative" is a person whom takes a conservative stand on both economic and social issues. You don't.  That's fine, but, don't lecture actual conservatives about what conservatism is.

Well, prohibitions on the slaughter of dog for human consumption are purely the imposition of morality, and, as "victimless" of crime as the legalization of the slaughter of cows, pigs or chickens for human consumption. So, you are are for the legalization of the slaughter of dog for human consumption, no?

[opebo]

I believe in America.
I believe in Mitt Romney.

I don't have any problem with the latter - the man is what he is.  I suppose one man is about as good as another.  You can say Romney is a predictable man.

But why on earth would you 'believe in' america?  Its never done anything for me...

After a long day of euthanizing my friends and masturbating in public, I fall asleep to the peaceful sounds of pregnant women being pushed down staircases.  You could ask me how I live with myself, but I would simply respond by setting fire to your home and applying for an arts grant.

I don't know about Politico, but as a -6er (iirc), I certainly am in favor of legalizing the slaughter of dogs for their delicious meats.

One hopes that a conservative would also be conservative about the use of the English language, but this is evidently not the case here.

Well, we're down to three possibilities.

1. Politico is a TB with inteligence of a brain-damaged chickenant
2. Winfield was bored enough to make a second account
3. We're all an idiots fooled by an obvious troll

[Tetro Kornbluth]

He's the American President from TV dramas made in countries that are not America. Seriously. He even has the hair and the false excessive mateyness. So he could, perhaps, be the first PoMo President.

Ummm.. Wasn't that Reagan? Wouldn't Romney be the first post-PoMo president then? (Then followed by Jimmy McMillen in 2016 who is made president "ironically")

Does my social score mean I am not a hedonist politico? I am very deeply offended.

I can assure you that Winfield and I are two separate individuals with one glorious goal: Electing Mitt Romney as the 45th President of the United States of America.
