Romney backs Obama auto decision, praising 'backbone'

I think Romney was right about going into bankruptcy and not just writing checks.
Unfortunately, what is happening is more than that:
1) Obama fires the CEO and tells the board most of them will have to go. In that he has exceeded his authority.
2) He tells them they have to cancel 11 of their 20 profitable models for more “green” cars. With that, the only way the company can survive is by subsidies, even if the unions give concessions.
That is my opinion.

"It is us against them, so we best get that straight and think about what we do when it is us against them. Time is not lingering."

You got it. We have to field NEW candidates and boot all these RINO backstabbers out. And there isn't much time to do it.

“I’ve really tried to see what others see in Romney, but he’s just another socialist jockeying for his position in the oligarchy.

I can’t support this guy.”

Here is an example of why his followers come to him, listen to this and you will probably feel disgust, but his oily, flagrant dishonesty impresses people that are impressed by his willingness to do or be anything for power and advancement, they see his chameleon like amorality as a talent.

If you want to see the Utah letter referenced just ask. He also threw his mother under the bus, since she never campaigned as he claimed.

Sarah Palin reacts to hearing Romney say that Obama has 'backbone!'

[Graybeard58]

In a month or so when the pro-ROmney threads appear here and some of us remind the posters he supported the GM takeover watch his syncophants call us all liars and more...

Hater? Bigot? Things like that?

Romney's a liberal, I don't care what I'm called.

Damning O. with faint praise.

“...the field for 2012 just narrowed.”

Dittos!!

I’d like to see Mike Pence run.

I know that people can change on issues, but Mitt Romney's continual "changes of heart" point to him being either morally bankrupt or mentally deficient. Or some of both. You make the call.

If you want to see the Utah letter referenced just ask. He also threw his mother under the bus, since she never campaigned as he claimed.

You didn't ask me, but if you would be so kind, I would like to see it.

Wow. Just... wow.

You know, of course, that regardless of what comes out of Mitt Romney's very own mouth on video for the entire world to see, his supporters will still claim that he is pro-life.

Any two GOP govs. for Prez/VP in 2012! (Except: Crist, Romney, Perdue, Perry, and any other RINO I may have forgotten).

"For example, I remember Freepers and Ann Coulter talking about what a great conservative Mitt was and the only reason he didn’t get elected is the bigoted Mormon-haters."

Wrong. He didn't get elected because he was and is a RINO, who's "achievements, and proof of being a nanny state socialist, was his "free health care" baby in his state.

It had nothing to do with him being a Mormon, Only bigoted Christian hating Mormons would think that.

I still like him. Thanks for trying to educate the masses.

"I think he's trampling all over the Constitution on this."

I just wanted to see those words of wisdom repeated, for this should be the standard reply...

[JSDude1]

No, Mitch is a leftist too. Not Mitch. (he’s conservative on a few issues, but not on the sociali issues, and I don’t really believe he’s for free-markets-he’s more the big business rockefeller type when push comes to shove)!

[Gator113]

” Romney said Tuesday morning on CNN. “I think he’s expressing some backbone on this.”

Seems he no longer want’s to be president.

[WOSG]

A former Romney support who is disappointed.

You know, this is kind of simplifying things though.

KB Hutchison voted in support of the ObamaNation ‘service’ boondoggle.
OOPS. Now I know she wont get my vote for Governor.

Romney made sense in December 2008 arguing AGAINST the auto bailout. Shouldn’t be praising Obama now. Mistake!

[WOSG]

“If we lose the NY-20 seat, would that convince you that we are going nowhere? “

That would only convince me that the people have gone bonkers and WANT the USA to go the way of Zimbabwe.
Rubberstamp Congress for Obama? Egads!

[JSDude1]

Exactly Lindy, and though I am a hoosier didn’t vote for him, I think Mitch is running for US Senate, IMO (which would be terrible), almost as bad as RINO Lugar. Good gosh why can’t we get somone like Mike Pence or Dan Burton, or John Hostettler in the Senate?

[JamesP81]

Any two GOP govs. for Prez/VP in 2012!

Sanford and Palin. Or Barbour and Palin.

[WOSG]

One more thing... this is another example of the liberal MSM spin machine:

Liberal News Article claims a Republican supports Obama decision, when in fact he said no such thing

Romney pointed out that the auto companies dont deserve a blank check and he likes that its not happening.
