The difference is that the public knows the worst about Newt, and he has been dealing with it for years.
When they start on Romney and strip the meat off of him, it will stun and shock the American people.
The flip side negative is the damage to Christianity and conservatism as our own talk show hosts, writers and commentators are seduced to use all their talents, conservative roots, and creativity to find new language and philosophical, and even religious reasons why Mormonism is not really a cult but is acceptable to the Christian conservative voter.
This is the big breakout that Bishop Romney and the Mormon religion have been fighting for, for many decades.
This is true. The worst attacks on conservatives often come from fellow Repubs and when they do, surprise surprise, they always seem to come from Romney supporters. I wasn't always convinced Palin was our best hope for president, but I always saw her as stalwart and a fighter, and the attacks on her were almost always below the belt.
And, when by Repubs, almost always by either McCainiacs or Romniacs (often the same people).
So, not a chance I will support him.
I have ten years on you here at FR, and I say Mitt Romney and his supporters, reluctant or otherwise, can shove it where the sun don’t shine. Got it?
“Oh they will attack any candidate, Im not disputing that. But the idea that Romney can win just isnt viable. I used to be Mormon and I can give you a playbook of the crap the MSM will use. Mitt as the nominee is a much easier win for Obama. MUCH easier.”
I totally agree that Mitt is an easier win for Obama than Newt would be, I’ve never even remotely implied otherwise. That’s why I’m voting for Newt, he would aboslutely destroy the teleprompter president in a debate. But Mitt could win, a lot can happen between now and november. The one thing I’ve learned above all in politics is that this far out it’s impossible to tell what political tides will turn.
On another note, I’d REALLY love to see Newt as a VP nominee so we could watch him debate Biden. That would be awesome!! Biden is a dolt and Newt would humiliate him. I have despised Biden for a long time.
If YOUR goal is to continue the growth of the size of the US Federal Government, then your key assumption: “ - - - have a pro-growth plan - - - “ for your candidate is consistent with your goal.
Just “grow the economy” so the Federal politicians can keep on spending.
Since you are a true-believer in BIG Government, this won’t make any sense to you, but here goes anyway:
WHEN YOUR OUTGO EXCEEDS YOUR INCOME, YOUR UPKEEP WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL. Think about it once a day, painful as it might be.
Romney would be an excellent choice for you and the LIBS, (Lovers of Infinite Bolshevik Socialism), in “both” political parties.
BTW, if your other goal is to “broaden the base” of the Republican Party, doesn’t that lead to a bunch of fat-assed, bloated, political fat cats?
A mirror could debate biden, and win.
Yes, but Newt might just make him cry. :)
Your self-pimping posts have earned you the "Turd in the Punchbowl Award."
Toast yourself with a big cup full,
And a heaping helping of
The pimp finally manages to post without excerpting and THIS happens?
Just damn.
Here, ultimately, is your sellout. That mean he bite the dust, Kemo Sabe. Yes, Tonto, but why waste a silver bullet when we have the all powerful ZOT at our means. Now, for the fun...
Hoisted on his own Mobyness.
It's a bitch.
But there it is. There is the reality that 13 debates, months of bickering and intrigue, and countless discussions with conservative brethren have brought me.
And here 'IT' is. The reality of a Zot!
5, 4, 3, 2, 1 .. Zot!!
ZOT! ZOT! ZOT! ZOT! ZOT!.........
The blog was doubleplusungood.
Mitt would not recognize Obama as a socialist. Why not? Well, if Obama and ObamaCare is socialist, then Mitt is socialist. And this is a recipe for success in defeating Obama electorally and intellectually. Really? I'm not sold.
"Second, they must broaden the base of the Republican Party, both on the conservative and moderate sides."
Reagan did this by bringing Americans over into mainstream conservativism. Romney proposes to do this by being a squish who appeals to everyone, where they are now. He persuades no one. He hasn't persuaded the author of this piece.
"Third, they must be economically intelligent and have a pro-growth plan that will overturn the Obama economic disaster."
59 points full of trims, squish and mush that don't offend anybody and therefore don't create opposition and don't create excitement for supporters and in the end, if completely enacted will not have a great effect. This will pave the way for the return of more hard socialism from the Democrat Party. "And fourth, because of the Obama experiment, they must show some executive level experience."
I would prefer this, Romney's one term as Governor, who did not run for a second term due to a 34% approval rating aren't going to set the world on fire. Why is Romney considered experienced to be President? He himself cites his business experience. What has he really run? Cain had more direct hands-on business experience, than Romney at Bain Capital.
There seem to be more myths about Mitt, than anyone else out there.
You can suck it! Mitt Romney isn’t conservative in any sense of the word. J.S.
If Romney is the Republican nominee, is it better to vote for Romney or not vote at all?
Is it better to have a RINO win or Obama win?
