Romney pointed at Coal Plant and said, "This plant kills people".

[Luddly Neddite]

Absolutely true. They're pathetic, really. I mean the dude shows a mean fucking moderate streak of which they'd crucify anybody else for... but because he's their only hope they have to get on their knees and suck his dick, and do it for the long haul.

like I said earlier today, he was the very last guy they wanted and now they are falling over each other to sing his RINO praises

Who gives a shit.......OBama sucks.....Romney isnt conservative enough for me, but hes way more conservatvei than Obama.....maybe get your mouth off Obama's balls once in a while

That's funny.

Libs voted for a liberal and got a very conservative middle of the roader.

You're going to vote for a conservative and get someone who is more liberal than Obama.

BUT - you really don't need to worry because if elected, he will never really be prez. He's just there to sign what Kochs, Adelson, Bush's Brain, Norquist and of course, slimy ryan tell him to sign.

PolitiFact | Obama says Romney once said a coal-burning plant

Romney accused Obama of stifling domestic production and said he would champion the oil and coal industries. Obama fired back that Romney hasn’t always been such a proponent of coal.

Romney in 2003: "I Will Not Create Jobs That Kill People" - YouTube

Obama said Romney has changed his tune about coal, claiming that in Massachusetts he "stood in front of a coal plant and pointed at it and said, ‘This plant kills.’"

We rate his statement True.

------------------------------------------

It's kind of hard to rate something one way if there is "video". Like when Romney said "Cut government workers he identified as "Police, Firemen and Teachers"." He wasn't kidding.

Or the 47% video that went on in great detail for 40 minutes.

If elected. MitWit will have a new cabinet position to fill -

The Royal Keeper of The Lying Flip Flopper

Every day, that person's job will be to announce that "what Willard the Rat meant to say ... "

yep. maybe his flip flop czar

 

[Inthemiddle]

Leave it to RDean and Obama to talk out of context like they always do.

Still waiting for RDean the liar to support his other claims I have nailed him on...he's not returned to the thread (his own) since. He's a coward.

Romney called this plant a dirty plant because it apparently lacked some air pollution equipment.

Imagine that.

You can be after a plant that does not have the right emission controls and still be for coal.

But RDean is to stupid (not to mention having his head up Stephanie Cutter's ass....no wonder she always has that stupid smile on her face) to know that difference.

And JimH0.52 is his understudy.

As loathe as I am to agree with something Rdean has said, he actually has a point here.

Yes, I'm sure that Romney was specifically talking about this particular plant and its particular shortcomings. But pointing this out is no more "out-of-context" than Romney's attacks against Obama regarding coal. Obama has supported clean coal initiatives, even while Romney's criticisms have implied that Obama is entirely anti-coal altogether.

Obama's positions and statements may be worthy of criticism. However, Romney is not the one who has a place to criticize. The two have a net zero difference, at the end of the day. By opening up this line of attack, Romney has probably done more harm than good.

The Salem Harbor Power Station

Back on Feb. 5, 2003, Romney made several statements during a showdown over the future of the controversial, coal-burning Salem Harbor Power Station, in the Boston area.

A couple of years earlier, Massachusetts had passed new rules to reduce power plant emissions of nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and mercury, to be phased in over several years. The mercury standard would not be finalized until 2004. As governor, Romney supported the rules, as he made clear repeatedly.

Massachusetts singled out its most egregious polluters as the "Filthy Five" plants, including Salem Harbor. Public health and environmental scientists at Harvard studied the emissions from two of the plants in 2000 and concluded that Salem Harbor was responsible for 53 deaths, 570 emergency room visits, 14,400 asthma attacks and 99,000 incidents of upper respiratory symptoms -- all per year.

Local residents and others who wanted to keep the Salem Harbor plant open (for jobs and tax revenues) disputed those figures, saying they resulted from unproven modeling. It turned out that the Harvard scientists had revised their figures in 2002, putting premature deaths from Salem Harbor’s pollution at 30 per year and reducing the number of emergency room visits to 400 and the asthma attacks at 2,000, according to the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald.

But the scientists stood by the broader conclusion -- that emissions from dirty power plants can be deadly. The Harvard methodology has now been widely replicated and is respected by health scientists, according to several environmental authorities we spoke with. Romney appeared to accept their findings, too.

The spat with Salem Harbor turned into a testy exchange after Salem Harbor’s then-owner, Pacific Gas and Electric, sought an extension until 2006 to comply with Massachusetts’ emissions rules -- and plant supporters showed up to to demand that the governor back off. Romney was adamant that the company comply by 2004 and appeared at a press conference near the plant to emphasize the point.

So, according to Politifact, you have a plant operating unsafely, and then-Gov. Romney was taking steps to bring it up to speed safety-wise, or shut it down... and Rderp disapproves.

How many dead people would you have preferred there by, Derpshit?

I once wrote on this very site about China being number one in the world in birth defects and we know if we start getting rid of environmental regulations we will see birth defects go up. Someone here at the USMB said that you have to break a few eggs if you want to create jobs. So I asked, "Does that include birth defects?" and whoever it was I was talking to said, "Of course". So I asked if they minded one of their kids having a birth defect in the name of "jobs". They wrote back outraged they never want one of their children to have a birth defect and I was scum for attacking their family.

Now remember, this person said you have to break a few eggs for jobs but they didn't want their family affected. This sounds very much like a Mitt Romney Republican.

Right....

And I once wrote about how the sun rises in the west and sets in the east and all the libs took their clocks and changed the wires so they operated in reverse.

You really are one stupid prick.

 

[Listening]

I love reading posts that now say...."If he's elected...." talking about Romney.

A month ago, La-Sploda was crowing about how it was over.

This has been more fun to watch than Rachael Maddow turning red as she talks about gay marriage.

Not at all.

If Romney wins, it will be because of Racism... as much as your side wants to deny it.

It's just nice to see when one of you lets it slip.

The very fact you guys are supporting someone most of you consider a cultist in order to get the black guy out shows how racist you are.

None of you wanted Romney from the get go. But you got hornswaggled into supporting him... because you are so full of hate.

It's the death throw of racism in this country, really, that White folks don't enjoy the dominance they once had.

NO, YOU are the one who considers Romney a cultist..don't lay your idiotic views on others..and with your threads on Romney you are not one to accuse other of HATE
your Dear Leader is going to lose so deal with it

 

[JoeB131]

Like I said, only reason I'm supporting Obama is because Romney is unacceptable.

However, it's not hate to point out that he does in fact belong to a cult lead by a prophet who thinks he is talking to God and demands absolutely loyalty from all members.

I'm sorry that the GOP has become so desperate to hold on to power they are promoting this cultist because he showed up with bags of money.

All the money in the world isn't going to paper over the GOP's problems with minorities, women and working folks.

well that is your opinion..And what was also a shame is a inexperienced less than one term Senator could become President for some because of his skin color..Now they saw the REAL Obama and what he thinks of us and our Country and they don't want his socialist "visions"..
Black or not Obama is a horrible person and a even WORSE PRESIDENT..But you vote for him because you hate Romney's religion, real smart of you

Yup, shady cults started by child molestors tend to worry me.

People didn't elect Obama because of his skin color.

They elected him because Bush crashed the economy and got us into two wars we didn't want to be in at that point. And let a major city get washed out to sea.

And frankly, since 93% of the wealth created in the recovery went to the top 1%, that hardly seems like socialism to me.

Dudley if you dont think Obama is the puppet for a bunch of rich people behind the scenes who are actually running things,then you are just as "trained" as everyone your always saying are "trained".....the same rich people and Conglomerates are calling the shots no matter who is in....the people get tossed a bone every now and then to make it look like they are doing something for us.....
