Pawlenty Explains How He Could Endorse Romney After ‘Obamneycare’ Slam

(CNN) -- There is a lot of buzz about CNN's new poll that shows Rick Perry seemingly solidifying his lead among Republican in the primary contest. Forty-two percent of Republicans think Rick Perry has the best shot at beating Barack Obama. Forty-five percent of seniors support Perry compared to 21% for Mitt Romney.
There is one question that is not getting as much attention, though in my mind it explains every other question. CNN asked, "Which Republican candidate is most likely to fight for their beliefs?" The winner? Rick Perry with 29%, followed by Sarah Palin at 23%. Mitt Romney? Michele Bachmann? They tied at 11%.
The answer to the question really says very little about Rick Perry and a great deal about Mitt Romney. It plays into the "opportunist" critique that many primary voters have of Romney.
In his book, Mitt Romney compared those responsible for the "looming bankruptcy" of Social Security to people engaged in a criminal enterprise, but this year he attacks Rick Perry for calling it a Ponzi scheme.
Pro-life voters are still skeptical of Romney's conversion. Fiscal conservatives are skeptical of any governor of Massachusetts. Tea party activists joke that the only issue Romney has not flipped on is the one he should — "Romneycare."....

Pawlenty Explains How He Could Endorse Romney After ‘Obamneycare’ Slam
23%???
Are you looking at the PPP poll from March?
Any one who supported T-Paw here had a great lesson in smarmy hypocracy by that “politician” (the lowest thing i can think of to call someone)
After Pawlenty RIGHTFULLY bashed Romney for “obamneycare” while he was running, he sleezed his way back into the news with his whole-hearted support of Romney this morning.
Watching this two-faced slimer made me want to puke
Flip a coin. Either way you end up with a rino conservative pretender.
Why is Perry trouncing Mitt?
Because more and more people are waking up to the fact that Romney and his fellow mincing, effete, snobbish silk pantywaist Ivy League elites of both parties have led this country down the road to ruin.
The last POTUS we had who seemed to give a damn about the country before his own enrichment didn’t go to Haaaahhhhvaaahhhd or Yale... he went to a wee little college called “Eureka College.” And lo, he seemed to have a much firmer grasp of the obvious than all these Ivy League frauds with which we’ve been burdened since...
I’ll point out one more thing. My favorite SCOTUS justice, Clarence Thomas, an Ivy grad, has some especially damning things to say about his alma mata and their ilk. NB where Justice Thomas will give speeches and addresses... it isn’t at the Ivy schools.
“Why Perry is beating Romney”
When I saw the headline, my thought was that Perry was physically “beating” (as in punch & kick) Romney. It was a momentary pleasure. Too bad reality had to sink in that it is merely beating him as in polling better.
I like this headline better:
“Romney hospitalized and out of race after physical altercation with Perry....Perry’s actions ruled to be self-defense”
You need to improve your reading comprehension:
CNN asked, "Which Republican candidate is most likely to fight for their beliefs?" The winner? Rick Perry with 29%, followed by Sarah Palin at 23%. Mitt Romney? Michele Bachmann? They tied at 11%.
Sarah is not at 23% in terms of who people will vote for, just on this one question. She still has only half the support Perry gets, despite the fact that she has been canpaigning non-stop since 2009, and has a much higher name recognition than Perry (or maybe because of it).
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.
Oh rats. Thanks for the information. Not happy now. lol.
For one thing there is no room in the GOP for a liberal running for POTUS. Romney is a liberal, there are no two ways about that. In fact I believe that Huntsman is only in this race to make Mitt look moderate.
Perry is not all things to all conservatives but he is electable and leans conservative. Comparing Texas’ economy to the nations’ will get him more than halfway toward perpetrating an ass-kicking on Obama that will be so complete that Perry will be plucking pieces of Obamas’ ass out of his cowboy boot all the way to the inauguration.
She’s not going to run in my opinion. I wish that she would tell her supporters that rather than stringing you along. You folks...well, most of you anyway, deserve better than that.
Of all the questions in the CNN poll that was released today, the one on electability had to be the most important.
ORC International Poll — September 9 to 11, 2011
Question 42
Which Republican candidate do you think has the best chance of beating Barack Obama in the general
election next November?
Perry 42%
Romney 26%
Palin 7%
Gingrich 5%
Bachmann 5%
Paul 5%
Cain 3%
Huntsman 2%
Santorum * N/A
Helps Perry.
Average viewers can see he has a compassionate side, a side that admits to a few mistakes, and a side that can take incoming missiles and still manage a smile.
Did anyone find it ODD that Bachmann looked to the right of Perry the entire debate? She never made eye contact or looked in his direction. But had plenty of attack material. Just could not stare him down with it. Very interesting.
If Rick Perry were a halfway honest and straight-up politician, you'd have yourself a hell of a candidate.
Unfortunately, Rick ain't all that, and you know it. Enough Texans have told you that by now, that your constantly booming Perry is getting hard to see as anything but partisanship in the extreme. Your support is not considerate and well-weighed.
That's only credible if you stipulate that
Rick Perry's a choreboy, a political errand boy, for a tiny group of superrich politically-active people in the construction, chicken-processing, homebuilding, and other low-wage businesses, also known as the Open Borders Lobby.
He also talks to the Bilderberg people -- about God knows what.
Romney is also a lying, gun grabbing, flip flopping POS.
The winner? Rick Perry with 29%, followed by Sarah Palin at 23%. Mitt Romney? Michele Bachmann? They tied at 11%.
Sorry, this is not a poll. The same group of people say, that Palin should not run. (To the tune of over 60%)
If Palin runs, she won't make it past the Primaries. She is too late and has way too little financial support and especially lacks broad voter support.
tin foil..?
His contributors have been subjects of many newspaper stories. He was invited to the Bilderberg Conference in Istanbul in 2007 and the one in Virginia in 2010. Maybe this year's, too -- I'm not sure on that point.
But the Bilderbergers like to talk to future world leaders ..... what about, nobody ever says.
