During the 2008 campaign, some conservatives said they were hesitant to vote for Romney because he was perceived as being liberal on some social issues.
On Friday, he seemed determined to overcome that impression.
In his speech, given in a room filled with more than two dozen pictures of President Ronald Reagan, Romney gave a shout-out to the tea party protesters and spoke about his new book, "No Apologies: The Case for American Greatness." (It is slated to be released by St. Martin's Press in March.)
He also said the Republican Party needed to build support among young people, women and Latinos. "We need to make sure they know there are conservatives and that we are right," he said.

ROMNEY RESPONDS ON FACEBOOK!
"As many Americans are aware, a disgraced ex-Governor who resigned is hawking a book to the extreme right-wing. It's time Americans come together and give our Commander-in-Chief - whom I can't wait to challenge on the basketball court by the way - the respect he deserves. I also want to add that my book "No Apologies" will be made available in the spring of 2010., with a massive book tour scheduled in coastal cities, urban Michigan, and fancy cocktail restaurants in the New York Upper West Side area. Please be sure to buy my book and embrace the slightly-less socialist change we need from Mr. Obama and from the extreme divisive rhetoric of Sarah Palin. Fist bump!"

I’m confused as to what Romney is saying. He needs to hire a better speechwriter.

Hey Romney, how’s that RomneyCare working out for ya
To: ABQHispConservative
What you are reading is what Mitt says AFTER it is buffed by a professional speechwriter.
The guy is rootless. He doesn’t know what to say, because he doesn’t know what he believes in besides pedestrian bromides.

The Romneyvites were out in full force today calling radio talk shows saying Palin does not have what it takes to be President. I heard no less than four of them call in and they all spewed the same BS, and they all said Romney is should be our guy in 2012. Its like they get their marching orders from up on high to call.

The tea parties are a bit gauche for Mitt, but he can pretend to go along as well as the next guy.

Romney sure doesn’t poll well, he gets a 35% favorable from Independents compared to Palin’s 49% and Huckabee’s 44%, even Gingrich beats him with Independents with a 38%.

Mmmmmm. Mmmmmm. Mitt. Romney is a coward.
Unlike Rudi who is going to run for Senator.
Romney gets his kicks sending his people
after women and handicapped children.

I won't vote for Romney because of RomneyCare. If he came out and said it was a huge mistake, I might be able to look past it, but he came out and said that RomneyCare is what he's most proud of.
No Thanks!
