Mitt Romney no longer the Teflon candidate

The wind is at Perry’s back.

It's true, however he is on a downward slope, gaining speed.

[TBP]

And he still hasn't been asked about the stringent cap-and-trade law in Massachusetts.

RINOS eating their own, quite enjoyable to watch

After they file for all the deductions and the minimum earned tax credit almost 50% of the population pays no federal taxes under the current tax code but under Cain the TALKER 9-9-9 tax plan they would be paying 9% tax on their income and without any allowed deduction plus another 9% on almost everything they purchase including the basics such as food and clothing.

Mittens was NEVER a “Teflon” candidate. The other losers were just too interested in being his VP choice to piss him off, and Perry was too ‘tired’ or too unprepared to mount a serious attack. Perry’s attacks were still lame last night, but FINALLY he kept AT them, and broke Mitt’s cool. Nice work, Rick. Finally the entitled one is exposed. Unfortunately the problem with debates like last night’s is that if they keep going on like this, the only winner will be Obama.

“The Alpha males were in Vietnam while Wimpy Willie Mitty was in Paris keeping his well manicured hands out of the mud and away from danger...”

***********************************************************
I”ll add to that—Romney has been a turnoff for me ever since I heard him in an exchange with a reporter who asked him why none of his sons had joined the military. Romney replied to the reporter: “They are serving their country by working on my campaign.”

He talks the talk, but he doesn't walk the walk, and neither does anyone else in his protected little circle. CNN packed the audience with his supporters last night. That conglomerate is obviously pro-Democratic party, and Anderson Cooper is a homosexual trust fund baby (Vanderbilts) who has a left-leaning agenda. The podium setup and question format were designed to exacerbate the potential conflict between the candidates, and Cooper got exactly what he was looking for—the discrediting of the most prominent Republican contender for the presidential seat.

It was not lame of Perry to point out Romney as being hypocritical.

I guess we disagree.

[Darnright]

>Would Romney have smacked Perry if they were alone ???
Perry showed great restraint and remenbered where he was..<

If Romney ever tried to smack Perry, from the look on Perry’s face it would appear that Mr Mitt would have gotten way more than a “smack” in return.

Romney may have tried to assert Alpha male status. However, Perry did show great restraint. That does not mean submission, it shows character.

[MEGoody]

But if they are a FRIEND of yours’ from YOUR church, you might have a clue if they were at your house every week for more than a year?

I have a lawn service as well. Frankly, I have no idea if the service has illegals working on my lawn or not.

I told them when we hired them I didn't want illegals working at my house. However, they do their work during the day when I'm not there. I don't double check them to make sure none of them are illegals. To ensure it, I'd have to be there every time they do the work and check the papers of anyone I didn't recognize as having their papers checked before.

I don't know - maybe you have the time to do that. I don't, nor does anyone else I know.

Someone else mentioned that Romney had been told by a media reporter that there were illegals working on his lawn, and he still did nothing. (Romney disputes that and says he told them to stop. When they didn't, he fired them.) If Romney truly did nothing, then he was indeed wrong. Nevertheless, my opinion doesn't change about the lameness of this attack. There are many more (in my view) important things to confront Romney about than this.

Perry came off as being very desparate to turn the focus off his "heartless" comment. Too late as far as I am concerned.

It’s too early to be, seriously, thinking of a split GOP convention. Things will, probably, be settled long before the ‘12 GOP Convention happens.

“Romney is a putz, a coward..

hes no “alpha male””

And how would you characterize Rick Perry in letting Mitt “bully” him in that fashion without so much as a peep????

[DrC]

“Well I for one sure would...”

You evidently don’t own a mansion. The idea that Mitt Romney sits around listening to his lawn people jabber while they’re mowing his lawn is pretty ludicrous. I’d be astonished if he ever even saw these workers.

[Tennessee Nana]

You just said it

Character

Perry showed character and restraint at not rightfully decking that cowardly putz Willie Mitty

Thats not the first time Romney has “put his hand” upon a man and lived to regret it...

He grabbed a man’s shoulder on a plane once...

It seems lil Willie Mitty needs to learn to keep his hands to himself..

I wonder if he beats up on his wife and children at home to...

If Willie Mitty thought he was doing some kind of “alpha male” thing last night he was dead wrong...

Willie Mitty came of looking weak and wimpy and aggressive

The big dog in the alley dogs...

and all Perry had to do was put his hand up and point and him

and lil Willie Mitty backed down and turned his attention on Herman Cain pointing at him and trying to be an “alpha male” over the black man...

Again big mistake, Herman Cain does not give in to fools and threats..

The ijit Romney wasted his time on both men last night...

Romney imploded and had a breakdown on stage in front of millions of voters...

and exposed himself as the ignorant undisciplined bully that he is...

Now the MittTwitNits want to do radical “clean up on Aisle Kolob err 6” trouble shooting to cover Romneys exposed dirty butt....

Herman Cain and Rick Perry have character...

The liberal
self serving
turn coat
2 time draft dodging
abortion pushing
same sex marriage advocate
troops hating
veterans hating
socialist
RomneyCare
cap N trade
big government
gun grabbing
global warming
AMNESTY Bill
sexist
racist
bigot
Williard Mitt Romney has no character and no leadership qualities...

He will never be president of the United States and thats a good thing for America...

We need a True lifelong Conservative for president,

a man or woman who loves America and has proven that in their personal life and public life

Someone who wont sell us out to China the first chance he gets..

and wont kiss up to the Islamics..

[Tennessee Nana]

And how would you characterize Rick Perry in letting Mitt “bully” him in that fashion without so much as a peep????
_________________________________________

So thats what Romney was doing ???

Trying to start something ???

Well just because Romney has nothing but his rioters fists doesnt mean that the others dont have something to offer America...

Bullies like Romney only seem to think one thing

that their fists and mouth will get them what they want

But since thats all he has and he showed and told last night

Romney may as well drop out today

before he spends another $45 MILLION of that $250 MILLION plus hes been hoarding trying again to buy the White House...

The White House is not for sale Willie Mitty

Not to you or any other liberal progressive...

[Tennessee Nana]

You evidently don’t own a mansion. The idea that Mitt Romney sits around listening to his lawn people jabber while they’re mowing his lawn is pretty ludicrous. I’d be astonished if he ever even saw these workers.
___________________________________________

So because Romney might own a bigger house that I have that makes him special some how ???

and he doesnt care who might be on his property to kill and steal but theres a free for all unlike at my home where I ptotect my family and want to know who is present ???

And are you suggesting that the same beta male guy who who stands around wanting desparately to get into my healthcare doesnt watch his own house ???

And doesnt care abouut jobs for Americans or making sure Americans have jobs ???

and although last night he announced he was going to initiate E-Verify if he gets into the White House he really does not caqre to make sure illegal aliens dont get hired but its just aother phony campaign ploy ???

OK

Thats our typical Romney

a weaselly America hating lying swine man-child...

[rockinqsranch]

Libs are like that. Bill Clinton with the hand on the shoulder, and the other to the small of the back pushing people in the direction he wants them to go. Obama does the same thing, and Romney too.

It’s a Liberal “control freak” thing that I see all too often with those sorts, and unfortunately all too many of those sorts end up in the upper management positions of corporate America using underlings brains to hold onto their jobs.

In business I encountered “control freaks” myself, and simply turned against the direction they would have me go as they attempted to assert their will. When they realized they had lost at their game they became quite irritable, loud, and offensive as they temporarily lost control of themselves.

For me it was a chuckle.

[DrC]

“So because Romney might own a bigger house that I have that makes him special some how ???”

You missed the point entirely. I’m saying guys in mansions don’t WASTE THEIR TIME watching their yard help. Nor do they WASTE THEIR TIME playing guard duty on their own houses. They instead install alarms, hire security guards etc. so that they don’t have to worry about such stuff. During the time period in question, he was CEO at Bain Capital, ran the 2002 Winter Olympics and served as Massachusetts governor. Do you seriously think a guy like that skips an afternoon of work a week to make sure his house when the lawn guys show up?

[Tennessee Nana]

Well Im glad you told me all that

Im sure Romney will be toooooo important to waste his time watching the White House

or sticking around home guarding the country...

he has other more important things to do...

He’;; be off trying to out do Obama in vacations...

Romney had no trouble “skipping” the last TWO years of mormonisngs and aftertnoons when he was MASS Gov in order to campaign for POTUS...

Yeah I see what you mean ...

Why would such an important bata male hang around when theres more important things like acting like a god to do...

Let the peons run the country...

he has skiing and golf to do...

As for normal American men they do their own lawns ...

on Saturday...

[Diogenesis]

Of course Milt knew.

Evidence is in this picture.
Romney, King of Kolob, feels that it is his right
to touch, and fine, and tax, anyone.

King of Kolob, the RINO Backstabber Romney:
"You are my bitch. Like every debate,
this was set up for ME. ME."
