>>Thats the former governor of massachusetts that left the state with socialized mandatory health care, a GOP that basically does not exist and gay marriage.

>Here’s an idea.

>Why don’t you comment on what he said.

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

I’ve been saddened by the Blago frenzy and the focus on spitballing the Dims instead of using this as an opportunity to show how we are different, that we have ideas that can work.

In case we hadn’t noticed, this country is in a heap of trouble and we could use some positive action rather than bellyaching about how unfair everything is.

He's pushing the same socialism as the Democrats.

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

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.

That's been the main thrust of Romney supporters like myself from the get go.

Romney has never been 100% perfect on everything (who is?), but he has been the only Republican with new supply-side ideas... and the only Republican (except Sarah Palin) with the gonads to fight the liberal machine.

McCain just rolled over like the old Republican-bashing liberal dog that he is.

But he's wrong. Your Hero has no clothes. He's naked -- he thinks government is the answer. He's arrogant enough to think that he can direct -- manage -- government for we taxpayers better as a businessman who works in and for government. Government is part of the problem.

Romney is part of the problem.
