“Mitt Romney is often his own worst enemy”

The rest of the time, he is the GOP’s worst enemy.

Wow. Ouch. Slam.

Romney the jerk, laid out for the world to see.

[colorcountry]

That deserved a double post!

[colorcountry]

Yeah he's a first class jerk!

Look at these lines:

One would expect that no son-of-George would ever allow one of the more guileless members of his campaign team to take the fall for its misbegotten attempt to involve LDS Church leaders in its efforts to secure support from BYU-affiliated business school groups. But Mitt did.

One would think no heir-to-George would pin blame on his eldest son for the illegal immigrants working in the family garden. But Mitt did. No loyal husband would gracelessly roll his own wife under the bus ("Her contributions are for her and not for me. Her positions are not terrible [sic] relevant to my campaign.") to dodge accountability for his own previous support for Planned Parenthood.

What I noted:

>Once, he joked that a church-sponsored social group for older single adults he championed was a club for “quitters and losers.”

If that is verified, wow.

>one-upping he gave the proud father of a daughter at Michigan State

Michigan State’s football team is abysmal. Only thing good about it is regularly beating Notre Dame. This can be forgiven.

The tag list at the end is mostly gibberish. It looks like sour grapes, and doesn’t add much of any substance. Mostly, though, it seems like a really solid viewpoint that Mitt doesn’t get it.

I dont find any of these claims convincing.

That being said, I am suspect of some of Romney's MA governor record compared to how he is campaigning. So I still think he is full of $hit.

But its still better than any democrat.

It did.

Oh, so Huckabee is perfect. Ha! You make me laugh so hard I almost peeed my pants.

From the article: Substantive general election debates between Romney and either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton are exactly what the American electorate wants and needs.

Oh, sure....BARACK: Mr. Romney an apostle of your church made the following statement. Do you agree with it? “However, in a broad general sense, caste systems have their root and origin in the gospel itself, and when they operate according to the divine decree, the resultant restrictions and segregation are right and proper and have the approval of the Lord. To illustrate: Cain, Ham, and the whole negro race have been cursed with a black skin, the mark of Cain, so they can be identified as a caste apart, a people with whom the other descendants of Adam should not intermarry.”
Apostle Bruce R. McConkie (1915 – 1985): - Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, p. 114

Mitt can still win the nomination. I would love to see a Romney/Thompson ticket.

[colorcountry]

What does this have to do with Huckster?

[WarEagle]

Further proof that Romney is the John Edwards of the Republican party, if any is needed. He was ahead of Teddy Kennedy in 1994, then reversed conservative stands/statements in their debate, making himself look like a complete a$$, and a hypocrite to boot.

Sorry, guys, if you support Romney, you are asking to be cut off at the knees at 12:01 PM on 1/20/09.

So, you’re saying he’s a nut.

...”Some of you guys are pushing the abortionist, gay agenda advancing, gun grabbing, big government socialist nanny state lying liberal RINO BECAUSE of his religion. Conservatives are pushing back. And it’s perfectly within their rights. NOTHING un-American about it. If fact, claiming it is, IS un-American. If you can’t stand the heat, get out! Take Romney with you.”
