Picking a security code/password that is easily determined by a guy who wants to be President, when the gal from the same party, whom wanted to be Vice President, suffered a similar fate a few years prior, is true, funny, and, if you say so, criminal (but not in a U.S. Code sense).

Not hacking Mr. Romney.
This is a debate forum (and a civil debate forum at that).
A light and easy challange of others' positions, thoughts, and rationales tends to bring the truth to the surface.
Your reason is a respectable one, i.e., Mr. Romney and you are aligned in your respective views. Nothing wrong with that (except you're not making a friend, you're electing a President).

If a man of Romney’s obvious wealth were to set up anything related to the internet I'd be surprised. But let's say for the argument he did.
Ok, so once Romney has become the GOP candidate, the left operatives go right to work, a vast network of hate trying moment by moment to invade a persons privacy.
Lo and behold one of them has success. I would assume that the Gov. has had that password etc. for his "private" email for quite some time, but once he goes over the top with delegates and is the nominee, he gets hacked.
The left, an agenda driven terror organization.

Rojay, if Obama was a Republican, you would be telling us what a great job he has done, as he has done a good job. If the Republicans Congress would wake up and try to compromise, Obama would have accomplished most of his promises. The filibuster is the only thing that stopped Obama from most of his goals.
He got Binladin, the mastermind of 9/11 after George W Bush sat on his thumbs and failed to do so.
He saved the auto industry- Romney was against helping the Auto Insdustry
Obama kept us out of a depression
Obama was for alternative energy until the GOP cut off spending
Obama kept the nation safe from terror after the Republicans allowed us to be attacked- the first successful attack on the mainland USA in our history.
Obama got us out of Bush's illegal war in Iraq.
Obama continues to take out the people responsible for 9/11.
Those are just some of his accomplishments. What are Romney's? Bush's? Reagan's? Nixon's? Four failures. less

I am sure you know that when a government picks favorites, chooses which companies win or fail and push monetary and regulatory buttons that turn businesses on and off with the speed of a pen, you can't do anything else but expect the president and his crony's to come up with the goods....

Even though Modern monetary policy dictates debt is usefull, and I understand that fact, I find that Pres. Obama has not been disclosing his real agenda for fear of losing the upcoming election. If does get a second term he will not enjoy the ability he had early in his first term, control of Sen. and House too, and he will not be able to complete the agenda anyway. His true agenda is based in the goal of one party rule, handouts for the masses buying votes, etc to enable the Dem. party to secure one party rule.
Our problems are not petty, look now to Europe to see America within a decade, or less. Over promised entitlements, retirement deferred to spend more on wasted programs and massive gov. payrolls to steal our taxes and produce little for it. less

Obama's options were:

2. Hit his compound with a missile attack and hope we got him. His body would then be buried, and his burial place would probably become some type of shrine. No intelligence would be recovered.
3. Send in Boots on the Ground, which was the riskiest option, have a confirmed kill or not, and whisk his body away so his grave wouldn't become a tourist attraction. In addition computers and documents were flown out for Intelligence purposes.

I'm aware of all that. I never intended to dismiss the difficult issues associated with the ENTIRE effort. Saying something like 'he killed bin Laden' assigns what I think is entirely too much credit to Obama. I also don't begrudge the accolades He got for the action. And, as pointed out, there seems to have been a LOT of work done during the previous administration that was utilized in the development and execution of the plan.
