Mitt Romney Acting Like a Candidate for 2012 - Video 11/11/09
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | November 11, 2009 | BrianinMO

Posted on 11/11/2009 7:28:22 AM PST by Federalist Patriot

Here is a video report on Gov. Mitt Romney and his activities these days to campaign for Republican candidates in 2010, and raise money. His PAC is dishing out money to GOP candidates across the country, which could result in many of them owing him in the future.

Romney is being strongly critical of President Obama, and says Obama has already done a lot to rejuvenate the Republican Party. Romney is acting very much like someone who intends to be a candidate for the GOP Nomination in 2012. . . . (VIDEO)

If Romney or his twin brother Huckapoo is the GOP nominee, Obama wins reelection by a landslide.

I voted for Romney in the CO caucus because we were down to so few choices by that point; however I don’t want any of the old group that ran before. No Romney and no Huckabee! No duds!

He’’s been campaigning for the 2012 nomination since the Wednesday after the 2008 election.

I’m so fatigued with this used car salesman I can’t begin to express my frustration. Romney is the establishment’s choice, and the Media’s choice as well. The media can’t wait to turn on him once he gets the nomination, the stories are already written.

Palin, on the other hand, they’re already trying to destroy, as if she has the 2012 nomination. That should tell you all you need to know about who is feared and who isn’t.

Romney is a good man - a Great American... BUT (good old butt monkey) -— But - NO! Never again a RINO

Romney has already proven without doubt that he is ABSOLUTELY NOT A CONSERVATIVE - not even close -— case closed.

Ditto. We should be done with the entire crop of wannabes from the last go-round. How ‘bout some real conservatives who will serve and THEN GO HOME?

I think Glenn Beck summed it up best. He said Romney is a great businessman and NEGOTIATOR, but what this country will need in 2012 is not another negotiator but a REFORMER. Of course, that reformer is Sarah Palin.

If Romney or any other big-government RINO like him is the GOP nominee in 2012, I will *definitely* either vote third party, or not at all.

RINOs follow the same road as the Marxist Dems, just at a different speed. May as well just have another term of Obamanation.

Carpetbagger, socialist, Gov.Palin-backstabber,
shape-shifter Mitt ("I am Myth") Romney:
"You will embrace these attacks on the GOP now, before the Election.
Create, then support, the attack from our northern lands,
the media, and some of the Obama team who will join you.
I will gain GOP favor by condemning the attacks and
ordering them opposed from our lands in the south.
Whichever way the tide runs, we will rise and be left standing.
"


The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++8 to 10 pts. in some polls, days prior to the election.
So rather than helping the GOP, poor loser “I am Myth” Romney and
TeamROMNEY decided …… to attack Gov. Palin (and her defenseless children) to throw Election2008.

"Frum was indeed a critic of Palin, calling her nomination a "huge mistake" during an October 13 (2008, weeks before the election) Early Show appearance."


David Frum: "Two of our most plausible candidates for president in 2012 are leading Mormons: Mitt Romney and Utah governor Jon Huntsman."


David Frum: "I have a lot of regard for Mitt Romney as a man and politician… I will support him without qualm."


Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."


The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.


Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."


"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."


Who benefits most from Sanford meltdown? Californian (that's right) Mitt Romney


"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

Don’t worry, SARAH’s got the “people’s grass roots”, the rest of the these yokles (Hukster, RHINOmy, and Pawslenty) have the “establisment” and know-nothings.

I hope she starts to corral the ‘Tea Party’ crowd, so that we can GRASSROOTS the hell out of IOWA and NEW HAMPSHIRE for her in 2012.

I hope Glenn Beck comes around and realizes what an awful President Mitt Romney would be. Our country doesn't need someone who gets his principles from seeing which way the wind is blowing. We need someone who is committed to conservative principles because he or she really believes them. That is what made Reagan a great President and what made President George W. Bush such a disappointment in that he didn't really believe in economic conservatism despite what he said.

I wonder how much of this shift in Glenn Beck's position could be market-driven. I boycotted his program for awhile last year because I couldn't stand his Romney cheerleading.
