Fire away!
So called? His support of socialized medicine and gun control pretty much paints him as an all out RINO.
Not to mention he's backed away from fighting the gay marriage decision by the SJC.
Romney should run on the Democratic ticket and his shed his chameleon status.
LOL! Kind of says it all. What else is left to be said?
Romney would make one hell of a liberal democrat, he has their views already.
I have said for some time that Mitt Romney is the only GOP candidate who can win the presidency (excepting Gullianni), because he has everything it takes to win. Good presentation, fresh ideas, charisma and looks. Never discount looks when half the voting public is female.
We may never get a 100% conservative president, and maybe we don't need to have one. After all, the president is the leader of the country and everyone is not conservative. Of course, our dream president would do everything exactly as we wish, but that is not realistic. Fire away.
Governor of MA where Kennedy and sKerry come from? Egads!
Actually this is to everyone who's commented here so far.
All Shock . . . No Substance.
Name calling does not impress me.
The South . . . Where George Wallace, Pat Roberson, and David Duke come from? Egads! (please tell me that you are capable of higher lines of thought than that!)
It's going to come down to Romney, Giuliani, or McCain, and Romney is the best of those three.
Memories are still fresh of the atrociousness of sKerry's campaign. Now another MA being put for prez? No!
You're probably right. I prefer Romney to any of the other electables. As for social issues, he is a Mormon. Some don't like that fact, but at least, generally, the Mormons have some semblance of Christain values. I know he waffles on abortion, but my sense is that he has done that to get elected governor of Mass. Didn't he do a Hillary to get elected there? He's not from there. I think he has been planning on the presidency for some time and he knew that being a governor is the best credential for the job. I have no idea why he chose Mass. I'm surprised he didn't choose WV. Rockefeller did. WV is easily bought.
Romney IS NOT your typical Northeasterner/MA man. Born and raised in Michigan. He's a true Republican through and through. The fact that the Boston Press and 85% of Mass politicans (the dems) HATE him should tell you that this is anyone but sKerry!
No. No. No.
His negatives outweigh his positives.
We need a conservative. We need one now more than ever.
You're using the same argument that the hildebeast will be using when she really gears up her campaign after she's re-elected to her senatorial position. She was born and raised in IL. Lived in AR. Resided in DC. Now she's from NY. Plus, she's a woman, wife and mother and already has White House and Congressional experience. If fact if one goes by credentials, she's better that Romney.
I've liked what I have heard from his mouth. He doesn't hold up the big "I" ala clinton. He talks like an intelligent person with ideas and not just slogans. I am tired of canned campaign slogans. I would like to hear someone talk without a teleprompter or memorized party lines for a change. I think people will warm up to Romney when they begin to listen to him.
Being able to run an Olympic Games is scarcely preparation for running this country, and his tenure as governor of Taxachusetts is notable only for his ill-conceived attempt to institute mandatory "Hillary-Care" for all. Should make anyone there feel nostalgic for Cuba.
As to his candidacy in a short: NO WAY!
