"Romney rallies with GOP candidates in Colorado" Associated Press September 30, 2014
LITTLETON, Colo. — Mitt Romney, former Republican presidential candidate, criticized Governor John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, as someone who “stands out for indecisiveness” during a rally in which Romney cheered on GOP candidates for governor and Congress.
Romney led the rally Monday afternoon at a high school in Littleton, outside Denver, and focused the majority of his comments on the deadlocked race for governor between Hickenlooper and Bob Beauprez, former US representative.
Romney blasted Hickenlooper for his decision to grant an indefinite stay of execution last year to Nathan Dunlap, who was convicted for the 1993 slayings of four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s.
Hickenlooper has said he doesn’t believe it’s the government’s role to take people’s lives.
The rally also featured Representative Cory Gardner, the GOP candidate running against Senator Mark Udall, a Democrat.
Three straight polls in September showed Gardner ahead in the Senate race, but only slightly.

Romney's greatest selling point will be he would have done better than Obama. You can't argue with it. Americans simply know after six years of audacious hope and change the rich have gotten richer, the poor poorer, there are more wars abroad and more tyranny at home. Not a record of success.
Don't get me wrong. None of the Republican crackpots are worth a damn:
"Republicans emphasize freedom of religion" by Steve Peoples and Ken Thomas | Associated Press September 27, 2014
WASHINGTON — Fighting to improve their brand, leading Republicans rallied behind religious liberty at a gathering Friday of evangelical conservatives, rebuking an unpopular President Obama while skirting divisive social issues.
Speakers did not ignore abortion and gay marriage altogether on the opening day of the annual Values Voter Summit, but a slate of prospective presidential candidates focused on the persecution of Christians and their values at home and abroad — a message GOP officials hope will help unify a divided party and appeal to new voters ahead of November’s midterm elections and the 2016 presidential contest.
‘‘Oh, the vacuum of American leadership we see in the world,’’ Senator Ted Cruz of Texas declared Friday in a Washington hotel ballroom packed with religious conservatives. ‘‘We need a president who will speak out for people of faith, prisoners of conscience.’’
Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky echoed the theme in a speech describing America as a nation in ‘‘spiritual crisis.’’
‘‘Not a penny should go to any nation that persecutes or kills Christians,’’ said Paul, who like Cruz is considering a 2016 presidential bid.
???????
Not even Israel, which persecutes Palestinian Christians (yeah, there are some of them still around)?
The speaking program included such potential 2016 candidates as former governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas and Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana.
Several possible Republican candidates — Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey and former governor Jeb Bush of Florida among them — did not attend.
The group has positions on social issues across the spectrum — from the libertarian-leaning Paul, who favors less emphasis on abortion and gay marriage, to Huckabee, a former Southern Baptist pastor whose conservative social values define his brand.
What corporate lobbyist stickers is he sporting!?
Politics is all how you MARKET YOUR BRAND now, huh?
The event host, Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, said that ‘‘a fundamental shift’’ is underway toward religious freedom among Republicans of all stripes.
‘‘Without religious freedom, we lose the ability to even address those other issues,’’ Perkins said of social issues.

"George W. Bush says brother Jeb ‘wants to be president’" by Jessica Meyers | Globe Staff October 02, 2014
WASHINGTON — Former president George W. Bush said Thursday that he wants his brother, one-time Florida governor Jeb Bush, to join the family’s presidential legacy and hinted that his sibling has more of a desire to do so than he has admitted.
“I think he wants to be president,” the former president told Fox News’ FOX & Friends, at a Texas golf tournament he hosts to honor wounded veterans.
He should host a golf tournament for them seeing as he helped create so many with his damn lies.
Jeb Bush “understands what it’s like to be president…he’s seen his dad. He’s seen his brother. He’s a very thoughtful man and he’s weighing his options.”
That's the last thing this country needs, another Bush presidency.
TPTB must be desperate and running out of people to put in power to keep recycling the same shitters like Romney and Bush. We have rejected them as a people.
Bush, who spoke with his younger brother at the event, said he was “pushing him to run for president.”
Republicans are encouraging Bush to enter a field that may include Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. House Speaker John Boehner told the Cincinnati Enquirer on Tuesday that Bush has “a real shot” at becoming president due to his record as a reformer.
A representative for Jeb Bush could not be reached for comment.
The younger Bush, a vocal voice on issues such as education and immigration, has stayed mum about a desire to follow in the family footsteps.
So his brother spoke for him.
“I truly don’t think he has” made up his mind, the former president said. “Plus, I don’t think he liked it that his brother was pushing him.”
Why don't you go back and crawl under that rock the Globe found you under (with all due respect to things living under rocks)?

"FBI turns animal cruelty into top-tier felony" by Sue Manning | Associated Press October 02, 2014
LOS ANGELES — Young people who torture and kill animals are prone to violence against people later in life if it goes unchecked, studies have shown....

"We were terrible to animals," recalled Mr. Throckmorton, laughing. "We'd put firecrackers in the frogs and throw them and blow them up." When he was not blowing up frogs, young George -- always restless and something of a natural leader -- would lead neighborhood children on daredevil expeditions around town."
That's a philosophy with roots in conservative texas soil, huh?
Kind of explains the mass-murdering wars based on lies, doesn't it? AND the TORTURE!!
Worse than scum if you ask me, and he can't hold a candle to one other former president. He's backed off his book, but at least he tried. Tough thing to do in a country that worships war.
FBI studies show that serial killers such as Dahmer impaled the heads of dogs, frogs, and cats on sticks; David Berkowitz, known as the ‘‘Son of Sam,’’ poisoned his mother’s parakeet; and Albert DeSalvo, also known as the ‘‘Boston Strangler,’’ trapped cats and dogs in wooden crates and killed them by shooting arrows through the boxes.
Add George W. Bush, author of shock and awe and the invader of Iraq to the list.
John Thompson, interim executive director of the National Sheriffs’ Association who worked to get the new animal cruelty category instituted, said there won’t be any data collected until January 2016. After that, it will take several months before there are numbers to analyze.
