Romney Book a Fitting Prelude to 2012 Presidential Run (BARF ALERT)

His supporters say the book will show Romney is more thoughtful than Sarah Palin.

BY KENNETH T. WALSH

Friends of Mitt Romney say his upcoming book, No Apology: The Case for American Greatness, is a lengthy and detailed explanation of his philosophy and should be a fitting prelude to a 2012 presidential campaign if Romney decides to run. The book, which comes out March 2, seems designed to position Romney as a thoughtful conservative who has ruminated carefully about the major issues of the day, ranging from the global economy to national security.

Romney supporters say it will serve as a conservative contrast to the views of President Obama but also will show Romney to be far more thoughtful than former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who is also considering a 2012 run. Her book, Going Rogue, is a bestseller, but it has apparently done little to improve her reputation as a thinker and a leader who can reach out beyond her conservative base and master the complicated challenges of national office.

Not me. I’d get too many “deer in the headlights” moments, which is another reason I admire Sarah so much and distain and hate the news media, because they’re not honest or fair brokers.

Nah no you wouldn’t..you would do great. The media is obsessed with Sarah because they know she can beat Obama..that’s the bottom line, if she wasn’t a threat to their messiah, they would have left her alone a long time ago. They follow her everywhere and trash her every second of everyday. It’s really getting old, especially the crap from Joy Behar’s mouth..she makes Olbermann seem decent. I was watching Fox yesterday and I had no idea that she said this but she said the most disgusting thing to date about Sarah’s children. I don’t even know if I can repeat it here..Let’s just say that her ass should be fired, if a Republican had said that about Obama or his family his/her behind would be in the welfare line

We live in a Nation that is predominently Christian. mormons are in a cult. They are not Christian. There is no possible way for a mormon Republican Nominee.

Thankyou for your honesty.

Joy Behar is a wretched, ugly bitch with a mouth to match. I understand she has her own show on cnn, so why does Fox televize her crap?

it wasn’t televised, someone had commented on what she said. It was absolutely DISGUSTING and I had no idea she had even said it. Joy is missing some screws. I don’t know what happened to her as a kid but she is an angry, hateful, sack of poo. I feel so sorry for her daughter, being raised by a mother like that, the poor kid doesn’t stand a chance

She’s a bitter old bag. I recently read that she’s 67 years old and she looks every year of that and more, yet she trash talks like a 30 year old. I didn’t know she has a daughter. UGH. Hope she’s nothing like her mother.

What a nasty, miserable, dried up old biddy Joy Behar is.

Mormons are Christians.

From a Catholic.

Romney’s book: #22,398 at Amazon. #17,516 at Barnes and Noble

Palin’s book was #1 for 6 weeks, and is still on the bestsellers list.

I don’t think Romney’s book will even get into the top 100 for more than a day or two, if that.

Romney is DOA

Even the Mormons I know, and these are good solid & sincere Mormons.... even they believe the man is a fraud and a sellout of the Mormon faith

How much did the Romney campaign pay this hack to write the fawning puff-piece?

Character matters, that's all.

Cheers!

Did Beck really say it was ROMNEY’S turn?

More Identity politics (94-96% of Mormons in western states voted for Romney)

Mormons are Christians.

(Yes, indeed, some do become in Christ! Yeah!!! But, first, they usually need to reduce their "god count" from multiples to just One -- elsewise it doesn't fit in too well with all the "single God" verses, especially chapters like Isaiah 43, 44, 45, etc.!!!)

I hope sarah runs and asks Romney at a debate: “where the heck were ya?”. He has been laying low and letting her fight the admin all year.

Don’t listen to what RINO’s say, watch what they do, and have done in the past.
