um, c19fan, if Norman Bates says "you had better not ..." perhaps it's wise if you don't.

Too bad for Muffy that he didn't official quit, half way through his term, when he went full time campaign mode, abandoning his duties as Governor. She might of had a chance, and we wouldn't of had Deval.

Which do you think is worse. Honestly quiting, or abandoning being at the helm, yet not letting another leader take the controls?

If the insurance is government mandated it is not really private is it? Free market solutions require freedom of the purchaser and the seller. Mandated health care purchases are equate to socialized Medicine.

Its my understanding that you and your imaginary friend, Wayne, are the only known Falconers. But I don’t believe I said that either you were or Wayne were “un-American”, but come on, even you have to admit you’re a teensy, tiny, weensy bit “unreasonable”, looney and jump on every thread containing a damning phrase, notion or word spoken by a Republican whether it has been proved true or substantiated, and scream “RINO” before pinging the flying monkey brigade.

Car insurance is mandated. It is still private.

Romney deserves the loyalty he gave Gov. Palin -- NONE.


SCREENPLAY: BANDS OF LEPERS

Fascist carpetbagger Mitt ("I am Myth") Romney:
"You will embrace these attacks on the Gov. Palin and the GOP now, throwing the Election.
Create, then support, these anti-Palin attacks from our northern lands,
the media, and our operatives on the Obama and McCain teams who will join you.
I will gain GOP favor by condemning the attacks and
ordering them opposed from our lands in the south.
Whichever way the tide runs, we will rise and be left standing.
"


The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++8 to 10 pts. in some polls, days prior to the election.
So rather than helping the GOP, poor loser “I am Myth” Romney and
TeamROMNEY decided …… to attack Gov. Palin (and her defenseless children) to throw Election2008.

"Frum was indeed a critic of Palin, calling her nomination a "huge mistake" during an October 13 (2008, weeks before the election) Early Show appearance."


David Frum: "Two of our most plausible candidates for president in 2012 are leading Mormons: Mitt Romney and Utah governor Jon Huntsman."


David Frum: "I have a lot of regard for Mitt Romney as a man and politician… I will support him without qualm."


Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."


The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.


Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."


"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."


Kathleen Parker: "[I]t is increasingly clear that Palin is a problem." "Parker ... says something publicly that many of us have thought privately
but lacked the courage to say out loud - Palin should step down:"


"Kathleen Parker: After Interviews, Palin Should Bow Out"


Kathleen Parker: "Romney would bring more than squeaky clean qualifications
and youthful good looks to the ticket.
Romney would seem a logical choice."


"Parker: Romney raised bar on freedoms"
Kathleen Parker: "If Kennedy's speech was an important landmark in American political history,
Romney's was surpassing. With heartfelt humility and poetic eloquence,
he tracked the nation's struggle with and for freedom."


Staggering bigotry of Kathleen Parker - UPDATED"


Who benefits most from Sanford meltdown? Californian (that's right) Mitt Romney

you can’t underestimate Huckabee either. He doesn’t have any love here on FR but he has a lot of fans.

Huckabee is a product of the MSM. They "made" him because they hoped he would be the nominee because they also knew how to ridicule and destroy him. He is not authentic. He is not conservative. He has many similarities to a couple of other former Governors from the South. Oh wait, there's a theory on that:

No problem, just after I posted without using the name Medina, I thought that mix up could happen.
