The important thing is that we unite to defeat this guy.

No Romney ever.

Somebody must have told the twinkie that he had to find, somewhere, sometime, somehow, a conservative position he could support. This one was a no-brainer, so I guess it was about at the right level for him.

“Mitt Romney, a likely contender for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination”

Everyone keeps saying this because, well, there isn’t a frontrunner yet. But I don’t see any real evidence for it, aside from the fact that the MSM reports every time he opens his mouth. Depends on what you mean by “contender,” I guess. One thing is certain. If he couldn’t win against McCain and hardly did better than Huck, he had no business being in the race at all last year.

I could vote for Romney if his campaign platform included indicting obuma and the entire democrat party for treason and sedition.

Yeh, I know. Never happen, but it was fun to write...

“Mary Beth Maxwell, the executive director of labor group American Rights at Work, told Hotsheet earlier this year that EFCA will in fact help businesses by giving workers higher wages, allowing them to spend more.”

Uhhhh....what “workers?” The ones that get laid off when the business ceases operations?

"The bill, however, may not even make it to the full Senate for a vote. After passing in the House of Representatives before languishing in the Senate last year, it was reintroduced in March and now sits in committee."

The bill is safely dead, giving fakes on both sides of the isle easy bonus, yet do nothing, points. No wonder that Mitt, in his ever wimpy, checklist, toe dipping way has forcefully, forcefully mind you, come out against it, although he's open to 'reasonable regulation'.

Good old Mitt. Measure, managed, processed, bleached, consulted.

Just don’t ask him how Romneycare is going in MA.

I don’t trust this guy as far as I can throw him. He’s a con artist and opportunist, and if he ever becomes president, he’ll be another RINO that saddles us with an even bigger government. No thanks.

“The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday.
The cause of death: failed leadership.

The party is survived by a few leftover legislators
and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists
who have been ignored for years.
Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow.
In lieu of flowers, send messages to Republican voters
warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney.”
- Boston Herald, 11/12/2006


"In 2006, while Romney was chairman of the National Republican
Governors Association - a group dedicated to electing more
Republican governors - his own hand-picked Republican successor
as governor lost badly to the Democrat, despite the fact that Republicans
have held the governorship in Massachusetts since 1990. Romney largely
ignored the Massachusetts elections and spent most of the time
during the campaign out of state building his presidential campaign.
He came back and publicly campaigned for the Republican candidate
the day before the general election!
“Locally, this is a rebuke to Mitt Romney and checking out within six months
after being elected and having accomplished almost nothing,”

[Jim] Rappaport [former chairman of the state Republican Party]."
- Boston Globe, 11/8/2006

there isn’t a frontrunner yet. But I don’t see any real evidence for it, aside from the fact that the MSM reports every time he opens his mouth.

Your 'front runner' is that who is most demonized BY the msm. They become steeled by the attacks. They grow into the conservative clothing they were always confortable with rather than wear a 'liberal' costume that appeals to others.

Sometimes, the cost of their outfits become the target of attacks. Sometimes, their families are attacked.

While I like Mr. Romney, I doubt he has the pedigree to win against liberals due to the fact that he'll encounter much difficulty rallying conservatives who had justifiable reseverations about compassionate conservatism's G.W. Bush. Voters need a choice, a real choice this time. Playing 'footsie' with moderates and un-decideds compromises everything America should stand for. That dog won't hunt.(see McCain- democrat from Arizona with big-mouthed daughter)

The traditions that made this country great are under attack. The values that make this country great are under attack (see gay marriage). The last thing we need is a candidate from the Northeastern corridor trying to mount a counter-attack. We need someone so removed from the Ivy League it'd make your head spin.

Look to Alaska. I'll say no more.

LOL! In his defense, I will say that this description could be applied to a lot of pols. He's just the currently most egregious of them.
