Conservative Group Forms Website Called “Not Mitt Romney”

Next up for the Conservatives and Republicans? Putting an end to Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, or trying to put an end to it. A group of hard right conservatives, including Ali A. Akbar – Republican consultant at the Vice and Victory Agency, John Hawkins, founder of Right Wing News and Matt MacKowiak,  consultant and president of Potomac Strategy Group LLC., have come together to create a website for Conservatives called, NotMittRomney.com

The group’s main concern with Mitt Romney is that he is too flaky, blows too easily in the wind from one position to another, usually in regards to the same topic. Some of the points they list in are;

Romney was pro-abortion until a decade ago. He is now pro-life.

Romney was pro-amnesty in 2006, saying about the McCain-Kennedy bill, “Those [immigrants] that are here paying taxes and not taking government benefits should begin a process towards application for citizenship.” He now opposes amnesty and attacks other candidates on their immigration records.

Romney broke with a tradition followed by his three immediate Republican predecessors and refused to sign the Americans For Tax Reform’s “no tax” pledge, which his spokesman then called “government by gimmickry” in 2002 when running for governor of Massachusetts. As governor, he raised taxes by hundreds of millions of dollars, according to the New York Times. In 2007, once he decided to run for president, he signed the pledge.

Romney was not a registered Republican until December 1993. He has admitted voting in the Democratic primary in Massachusetts in 1992 for Paul Tsongas for president, rather than voting for Vice President George H.W. Bush. In 2005, Romney claimed that Ronald Reagan is a personal hero.

Romney opposed the Brady Bill in 1994. But in August 2006, when seeking the Republican nomination for president, he signed up for a lifetime membership in the NRA, because, as he said to an audience in Derry, N.H.: “I’m after the NRA’s endorsement.”

On Jan. 10, 2007, Romney said, “I have a gun of my own; I go hunting myself” on the Glenn and Helen Show. Four days later, Romney admitted at a gun show that he does not personally own any guns.

And the list goes on.

Herman Cain sexual harassment

Herman Cain To Woman Number 4 – Say Hello To My Little Friend

Woman number 4 has a name. She is Sharon Bialek and in 1997, she went to Herman Cain trying to get her job back after being laid off. But Cain had other plans for Mrs. Bialek – an introduction to his crotch!

Bialek, a Chicagoan, had raised money for the restaurant association before being terminated in 1997, Allred said. When she lost her job, she reached out to Cain for help.

“Mr. Cain instead decided to try to provide her with his idea of a stimulus package,” Allred said.

Bialek detailed Cain’s sexual overture, explaining that he spent money on a palatial hotel suite for her at the time of their meeting. When they saw each other in the evening, Bialek said he his hand on her leg, “reached for [her] genitals” and pushed her head toward his crotch.

Oh Mr. Cain, you are so smooth. I’m afraid to ask how many women you got this way, cause I believe there’s a woman number 5,6, 7 etc.

And while I write this, a diehard Republican just said to me, “I don’t know why, but I am drawn to the man even more. I like Herman Cain.”

Surprised? I’m not!

Playa Herman Cain For President – Of the Playboy Mansion

The count goes up. It’s now woman number 4 accusing Herman Cain of sexual harassment. If this keeps up, Herman Cain will not be running for president of the United States, but president of Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion.

A fourth woman accusing Herman Cain of sexual harassment during his time at the National Restaurant Assn. plans to go public with her allegations at a news conference Monday in New York.

The woman is represented by powerhouse Los Angeles attorney Gloria Allred. Allred had a similar news conference earlier this year on behalf of one of the women who was enmeshed in the Twitter scandal that brought down New York Rep. Anthony Weiner.

Allred’s office said the woman “is not one of the three women who have previously been reported to have alleged sexual harassment by the Republican presidential candidate ” and that she will be “the first to give her name and to speak out about details of what she alleges occurred between her and Cain.”

Herman Cain Michele Bachmann sexual harassment

Michele Bachmann Calls Herman Cain Inconsistent

In a radio interview airing today, Michele Bachmann – one of many Republicans trying to beat President Obama in 2012 – expressed her concerns about her fellow Republican and front-runners in the nomination process, Herman Cain.

Answering questions about Cain’s sexual harassment allegations, Bachmann said;

Now this is significant. There has been 10 instances in the last month where he’s changed his positions on significant issues. On the issue of pro-life, he said the government shouldn’t intervene to protect life and then he switched and said ‘no they should.’ He said he wasn’t for the marriage amendment, then he said he was. Then he said that he would allow the terrorists to go out of Guantanamo Bay. In other words he would release the terrorists. Then he changed his mind and said ‘no.’ He just said this week that China was developing a nuclear weapon. They’ve had one for 47 years. He said that 9-9-9 would be equitable and fair, then he changed it to 9-0-9 after people called out his errors.

… That’s what the real issue is with Herman Cain’s campaign: the fact that he’s switched his positions when he found out that they weren’t acceptable by the people who were voting. That should really give people pause. Everyone loves him, who doesn’t? He has a great personality, but this is the leader of the free world that we’re talking about … We need to know that our President of the United States is going to go in there and do bold things and know what they’re talking about and be consistent. That’s what I bring that no other candidate brings. That’s why I am set apart and it’s why we can’t settle.

In other news, Michele Bachmann just realized that China already have nuclear weapons, thanks to Herman Cain’s ignorant claim that the Chinese are trying to develop nuclear capabilities.

Did You “Take Your Money And Run” Last Saturday?

November 5th was officially “take your money and run” day. A day set aside for the people to hit the big Corporate banks where it hurts most, in the vaults. “Take your money and run” came about after Bank Of America decided to create a $5.00 monthly fee for any customer deciding to access their money by using their bank card.

The impact of Saturday’s “take your money” event is not yet known, but some very interesting details are coming out since the greed of big banks manifested itself in Bank Of America’s decision. A study by the Credit Union National Association shows that from September 29th to November 4th, hundreds of thousands have joined Credit Unions.

At least 650,000 consumers across the nation have joined credit unions in the past four weeks, reflecting consumers’ reactions to rising fees at banks, according to a survey by the Credit Union National Association (CUNA).
They have joined credit unions since Sept. 29, when Bank of America (BofA)  unveiled its plans to charge $5 a month for debit cards. The public outcry the past month has forced BofA and other big banks to reconsider their debit fees.

Americans finally taking matters into their own hands? That’s what this country is all about!
