This piece is such an obviously biased bit of propagandizing “reportage” that it makes me think more positively about Romney. Anybody who is the target of this kind of slanted “reporting” is worth a second look. I’m still for Fred, but if Fred doesn’t make it, I could vote for Mitt.
Mitt is a man of many words and no plans to execute. IE a BS’r.
I am with you. I really think he will be the guy. This loser who posted this, well he always tries to use large vocabulary, but his html markers indidcate that he uses spell check everytime. Go MITT
Hello Folks!
Can we keep cool a bit? This article is certainly negative toward Romney, but look at the source! The New Republic!!
I have not decided whom to favor in the primaries, but I think that we should all agree: any Republican is better than any Democrat. There are some Republicans that I am very unenthusiastic about (McCain, Ron Paul), but I can’t think of a single Democrat who is as good as the worst Republican contender.
Rudy McRomney is a 3-pronged strategy for liberals to win the GOP nomination.
McCain was the straight talkin' maverick
Rudy was the rock star liberal
Mitt was the faux conservative convert
They figured by putting up three entries on different tacks they had an excellent chance at anchoring a drifting GOP firmly in liberalism.
He is gone.
Oddly, the opinion columnist doesn't provide a single example of one of these people saying he's a fraud. And the people he mentions, like the "Focus on the Family Patriarch", haven't said he's a fraud, instead they have said he is believable.
The people who DON'T know Romney personally, who support other candidates, are the ones who say he is a fraud. He's a man who leaves a good impression when he meets personally with people.
BTW, I know who Jay Sekulow is, and I dare say that a large chunk of the Republican Activist base knows who he is. It's not like those "obscure" evangelicals that we so often hear called our "spokespeople" -- Sekulow has actually DONE things, important things, and has made a name for himself by actually PRODUCING results.
The ACLJ has been a critical and successful part of the home school movement, has almost single-handedly defended religious freedom in our public schools, and has done a great battle against the ACLU eroding our religious liberties.
There is nothing "elitist" about Sekulow, in the sense that your typical "elitist" is someone who talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk.
Anyway, its' always fun to read an opinion column written by someone who isn't bound by the rules of evidence or beholden to the facts, because it's so much easier to attack people if you get to just say whatever you feel like without having to deal with pesky things like truth or quotes or actual evidence backing up what you are saying.
As in: "worthy of esteem; deserving respect or admiration."
So not only is he posting a liberal columnist's opinion as fact, he praises that liberal columnist as someone he admires.
Hey, don’t say anything bad about those Ice Road Truckers. I think some of them would make better Presidents than SOME of our candidates......
Not surprising.
Noam Scheiber who?
I have already heard of him before you posted this article.
Sounds like another sore anti-Romney loser annoyed at the level of money and support that Mitt is raising among Republican voters.
Therin lies the problem. Perhaps your material would find a better reception if you posted it here. Go find another Forum Liberal Troll.
DAILY EXPRESS. Blame Worthy. by Noam Scheiber .... The column was warmly received, among other places, on Daily Kos, probably the most influential liberal ...

Of course this is the best reply to you I have seen yet.

Whenever a liberal accuses you of something like that, 90% of the time, it’ll turn out to be the exact same thing they’re doing.
Most of the people against Mitt are Thompson people and Hunter people (who are against everyone). Thompson isn’t in the race yet and it’s laughable to think that he’d be hiring people to post on forums at this stage of the game. Hunter’s got zero bucks to hire anyone. RudyBoosters aren’t popular around here, so that would be pointless.
The guy’s obviously accusing you of being a paid supporter of another candidate, because he’s paid by Mitt.
Yes, I caught that. See post # 19. This lowly MittWitt sniffed out the poser with all the sagacity of a Rhodes Scholar.
Yes, he's gone. Funny how some people were so eager to jump on his bandwagon and bump his other threads without doing any research or follow-up. Typical of many anti-Mitt people who ignore Romney's actual record. Knee-jerk reactionaries. I guess they know who they are....and so do we.
Romney's Fiscally Conservative Record
Oh yes, a pro-gay, gun-grabbing reign as governor makes him oh so conservative.
