Obama king of etch-a-sketch

I do not favor civil unions if they are identical to marriage other than by name," Romney said. "My view is the domestic-partnership benefits, hospital visitation rights, and the like are appropriate but that the others are not."

Ah, so he calls it "Domestic Partnership"... and thinks that it shouldn't be identical to marriage.

I see.

By some definitions of "behalf" (and there are a few - including as an agent of, or on someone's part), sure, the answer would be yes.

It's just a turn of phrase; to anyone not afflicted w/ your condition, it's definitely making a mountain out of a molehill.

Just an FYI - making any hay out of the 'on my behalf' stuff is just ODS. It's pretty nitpicky to anyone not suffering from that form of derangement...

Your ODS is pathetic. I was asking for the military members views, because on reflecting a moment on the comment, I can see why Obama said it. If you stopped running around screaming ODS every time someone mentions your master, perhaps we could actually discuss the comment.

So you're revising & amending your original characterization that it may have been a "slip of the ego?"

And he's your master too....

asking a question is making a mountain out of a mole hill? why are you such an apologist and always have this knee-jerk response anytime someone asks a question about your beloved?

it is funny you claim i don't understand words...but it is clear you're projecting as usual. if the soldiers are indeed fighting on obama's behalf, that means they are fighting for obama, not the united states. iow...the soldiers are obama's agents, are fighting "on his part".

the truth is, they are not.

That's pretty parse-happy. Just sayin'...
 
in reality...i think he just worded it poorly not understanding he was speaking as CIC. the soldiers fight on the behalf of this country, which is to our benefit as citizens, which obama is. so, they do indeed fight on his behalf...but the way it came out could be construed differently because he was speaking as CIC and strictly speaking, they don't fight on the CIC's behalf.

it is just fun to get onceler all riled up. it is so easy to get him all worked up. :)
 
I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure that Romney's latest stance on this is to be against civil unions, that could change within the hour however, its hard for me to keep up with these polititians on this issue.

When did he say that, because when he was gov of Mass he was for ggay marrage....

What has he said this morning... thats most likely his current position.
 
Romney would also go back to Dont ask dont tell, at least that was the last I heard him speak on the issue.

Upon further thought, yes. Because the military members do what they do for the rest of us. While they do it is for us as a whole, I can understand one of us that didn't serve making the comment as he did. That said, Obama's ego is still way out of control. :)

No, he is your master, one you run to defend every time someone says something that might be construed as negative. Which is why you run around shouting 'uz gots ODS' a billion times a day.
 
I have to wonder what Obama and/or his strategists saw out of this one. I suppose he needs something to fire up the base more, but in the end, the base will probably turn out anyway, and he's likely to lose more independents. Even among the base, there are those who understand a more realistic approach of pushing for civil unions.

I wish he had made his "base statement" more about easing his draconian policy on medical pot...

Jeepers - talk about exaggeration. Even on my worst day, it's about 70 million tops...

It could end up costing him close states like NC/CO/FL/OH etc...
