“The commentary also takes a shot at Romney’s wealth, declaring it “rather ironic that a considerable portion of this China-battering politician’s wealth was actually obtained by doing business with Chinese companies before he entered politics.”

Transparency, sure Obama has kept a few aspects of his governing out of the public eye, but Romney has been called by many the most secretive candidate in modern history. He purged all the records when he left the governorship, he refuses to release his taxes even over the last 5 years while he’s been essentially running for president the whole time, he won’t talk about his religion even though he is way up in the hierarchy of the Mormon church, and he won’t produce the detailed records of his tenure at Bain, even though he’s running on his business record.

Integrity, Romney’s campaign has been the most untruthful campaign in memory. He has taken Obama out of context on a number of occasions, has completely lied on the medicare issue, and is still running the Welfare lie ads despite being called out for it by the press and multiple factcheckers. Here’s a comprehensive list of Mitt’s mendacity.

This man will literally say anything no matter how provably false it is to get elected. That is pretty damn scary.

I’ve edited the comment to clarify it.

Let’s try to get on the same semantic page. If you’ll suggest a reputable dictionary, I’ll go with that.

We have bet small amounts in the past, with the winnings, or losings, going to the Habitablezone. As I recall I “lost” those in the sense that I had to pay, my candidate or cause did NOT prevail.

I’m suggesting a repeat, with some amount, in $100 increments. I’ll bet that Romney does NOT “win”, is NOT elected. My only bailouts would be if someone killed or incapacitated Obama shortly before the election or if some excuse is found for the Supreme Court to decide.

If Romney is elected in an untainted election, I will donate $500 or $1000, whatever we decide, to the HZ. If Obama is re-elected, you would do the same. That was a definitive statement you made, this should be a no-brainer for you.
