Myth Romney COULD have been vocal praising Gov. Palin
but he was in a hissy fit having been rejected throughly.

How about “refurbish and modernize our military equipment”? I did not support Mitt for POTUS and would rather see him as SECTREAS in a Palin administration. He still has some good ideas.

I get it: you don’t like Romney. I’m not a big fan of him either, but while you’re out there cursing the darkness, please go ahead and light a candle at the same time (get some ideas together). what is it you don’t like about Romney’s ideas? How about coming back with ideas you do like? Or at least critique Romney’s ideas with some thought behind it.

Here’s the thing. If all we are gonna do for the next 4 years is heckle from the back of the country, the GOP might as well hang it up as a political party. We better be out there putting our ideas up against the Dims’. Heckling without ideas to counter is just another way of giving up.

There was no group that Romney could pick up that McCain lost and some groups that showed for McCain that would not have done as well for ORomney. The biggest complaint on McCain is usually that he came out for the bailout - so did Romney. Then there are those that will not vote for a Mass. Liberal. Add in those that will not vote for a Mormon, and you have a larger loss.

What he says and what he does are two different things.

It was full of typical Romneyesque double-talk. We should spend more but we shouldn’t spend more, etc. Romney lost all credibility when he supported the billionaire bailout of the banks. Anyone who supported that fiasco is a socialist pure and simple.

Oh, I have a goodie for you re Rick Warren.

The Muslim Public Affairs Council(MPAC) convention being held today in Long Beach, CA, will be headlined by Rick Warren. He will be the speaker at their gala banquet this evening.

Most interesting: http://www.mpac.org/convention/index.php

I’ll light a candle. I’ll light it for Ron Paul who, unlike Romney, OPPOSED the socialist billionaire bailout of the banks. If you don’t prefer Paul, pick any of the hundred of so Republicans who, again unlike Romney, stood firm against the bailout.

Yes,you’re right- romney did not get with the program after he lost the nomination, and that is to his discredit. Too much sniping and not enough internal party unity and support.

I see a lot of it here on FR, too. People who dont get their own way turn on their own. It’s mucho counter-productive.

Amen. I’m not a huge Mitt fan, but I welcome his move to make our party the one with the ideas.

He's pushing the same socialism as the Democrats.

Those are "the ideas" that now thoroughly infect the Republican Party.

In addition to his Keynesian embrace of "infrastructure spending" as a way out of economic turmoil, there is this nonsense:

"As Christina Romer, Barack Obama’s designee as chairperson of the Council of Economic Advisors concluded from her study of the Great Depression, bad monetary policy was its greatest cause and good monetary policy was its most effective cure. The Fed should continue to expand the money supply. And, it should confirm that it will not tolerate deflation — the pain of inflation pales in comparison."

The last thing we need is for the Fed to create more "fiat" money. This guy is badly in need of a course in Austrian Economics.

I'd happily forego it for better prospects for the country or at least for Conservatives.

I also get tired of all the bellyaching about Romney and Massachusetts.
What some people seem incapable of understanding is that Massachusetts demanded those policies from Romney. He did the best he could with what he had.
The only activism that Romney took to Massachusetts was the determination to put their economic house in order. He vetoed about 800 bills. He was not able to hold back their hunger for socialism. That hunger didn’t come from Romney.
His success in the private sector, when he was able to do what he wanted, tells me what the real Romney is like.
I wish some people would get over their hatred for this guy so we could concentrate on mending our economic fences.

Phony tax cuts are the bait for stupid people. The rest is nothing more than following the Democrat’s lead and continuing to open wide the public treasury.
