indecisive irresolute enervated cowardly Did you know:If you say "gesundheit" after a sneeze, does it mean the same thing as "bless you?" wishy-washy [wish-ee-wosh-ee, -waw-shee]
Wishywashy is always a great word to know.
So is interrobang. a printed punctuation mark (‽), available only in some typefaces, designed to combine the question mark (?) and the exclamation point (!), indicating a mixture of query and interjection, as after a rhetorical question.

dent - Hope you don't mind 'me' moving your post. You hit the nail right on the head and it explains the 7 or 8 debates we've had so far. It's like watching wrestling on TV "U" know it's all fake but it's still fun to see. 'i' especially like when Ron gets his 'dander up', his head goes forward, and you can see the hair coming up on his back, alot like a little chihuahua.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is typical for campains this early in the hunt. First you have to destroy your party competition, then you can discuss your plans, programs and issues. You will soon see the candidates not mentioning much about what the opposing party is doing because it is shooting itself in the foot and they don't need to add anything to the obvious. So then, the individual, personal attacks will begin until a clear front runner is established and some of the others drop out along the wayside. Once the "air is cleared" they may then address the real issues. The important thing for them to do is to come up with some real, workable solutions and present them to the people. This election will be won by the person that has clear, concise solutions to the problems we face today. "Hope" won't get it anymore.

The problem is that ANYONE that the Republicans put on the ticket beat the hell out of the alternative. I'm trying to retire in two years. Me, My 401K and my bank account cannot take 4 more years of "hope" and "change I can believe in". I HOPE there is a CHANGE in 2012. Then that's the last time I want to hear those two damn words used together in a sentance as long as I live!!

www.dailykos.com/story/2012/01/15/1054739/-Mitt-Romney:-A-man-without-princhttp://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/01/15/1054739/-Mitt-Romney:-A-man-without-principle,-a-campaign-without-purpose You got'a read this" excerpt There were plenty of mornings after, with Republican consensus surreptitiously scurrying home in shame before full sobriety had even begun to coalesce. It began with that former part-time governor from Alaska whose craven groping for fame left her so forgettable it's hard now to remember her name. Then came The Donald, the prince of perpetual priapic bluster, who still hasn't figured out that genuine affection cannot be bought. Then the parade of cartoon caricatures, from the dim Michele Bachmann and the dimmer Rick Perry to the slime of Herman Cain and the dregs of humanity that is Newt Gingrich; even Rick Santorum, that champion of Medieval social values who was tossed from his last held public office by a whopping 18 percent of the vote, finally had his 15 seconds of acclaim. Ron Paul continues to inspire some, but he never had potential to be anything more than a side show, his glittering little tent secretly adorned inside with tattered Confederate flags. Mitt Romney alone had the money, and even though no one outside of his large family seems genuinely to like him, Mitt Romney always had the inside track to the Republican nomination. And now more and more Republicans are falling out of their beds in disbelief that to this their party has come. It astonishes. It hurts. A large majority of Republicans wants another option, but there is no other option. The names sometimes mentioned are as laughable as the original freak show, and would have no more success in gaining traction with the widespread public. Another Bush? The Bush budget director who oversaw the evisceration of the Clinton budget surplus and the creation of the largest ever deficits? Any one of several Republican governors who have negative approval ratings in their own home states? Republican insiders have no one to blame but themselves. By coddling and enabling increasingly irrational and factually false narratives they have loosed upon themselves the most fetid underbelly of American subculture, risen now from the subterranean to kleig-light exposure, and therefrom withering back to the swamps from whence they've come. Only Romney remains. Polished and plastic, Romney personifies the vacuum of values, morals, and substance that is the oligarchy of the Second Gilded Age. There is no rationale for his candidacy. He has been running away from his short record in public office, and both his criticism of President Obama and his defense of his own record as a vulture capitalist are based almost entirely on lies. There is no Romney movement but for that emanating from the bowels of Wall Street, and an America more and more inspired by the Occupy movement is not going to warm to Wall Street's droppings. iple,-a-campaign-without-purpose

I've heard several people say electing Romney would be a duplicate to Obama, now can can you say that? Obama is the mystery man Willard "WE" know all about..RIGHT! "WE" know neither one of them has ever "( flip-flopped )" [ no worse than frying fresh frog legs in an iron skillet ]. ..."WE" also know the Republicans aren't real proud of him and that's the party he represents..O! AH! The 15% question: Why Romney's tax rate matters *( Why pick on him when there's at least another million & 1/2 doing the same thing-make it 2 million +) Mitt Romney stammered on Monday night when debate moderators asked him whether he'd release his tax returns. *( that was a tough one-go figure-why's everybody always picking on me!)* "I hadn't planned on releasing tax records (see, he's already using Obama tactics,,O! I didn't know)*, because the law requires us to release all of our assets, all the things we own ( is that what that means?)*. That I have already released. It's a {{pretty}}( ) full disclosure," he said. "But, you know, if that's been the tradition (does playing the dumba** really work?), and I'm not opposed to doing that, time will tell ( will-it-ever!). But I anticipate that most likely I am going to get asked to do that around the April time period ( April fools day probably ), and I'll keep that open. ...( An Obama statement if 'i' ever heard one!) (O..he's doing a fine job and he'll probably get the nomination-and "WE" can all be represented by a I-don't-give-a-sh** about the 'middle class' or any of the other peons-If Obama can be *KING* I can too!)

Although it is not apparent on his financial disclosure form, Mitt Romney has millions of dollars of his personal wealth in investment funds set up in the Cayman Islands, a notorious Caribbean tax haven. A spokesperson for the Romney campaign says Romney follows all tax laws and he would pay the same in taxes regardless of where the funds are based. As the race for the Republican nomination heats up, Mitt Romney is finding it increasingly difficult to maintain a shroud of secrecy around the details about his vast personal wealth, including, as ABC News has discovered, his investment in funds located offshore and his ability to pay a lower tax rate. "His personal finances are a poster child of what's wrong with the American tax system," said Jack Blum, a Washington lawyer who is an authority on tax enforcement and offshore banking.
