I can agree, and I defended him especially from the unwarranted or low brow attacks like on Mormonism. But is record is a major concern! He's a RINO and if they run him, he's McCain part II. Uninspiring to the base. They will try to prod us to vote for him as a protest vote against Obama, not because really like him.

I usually enjoy Hewitt’s radio show, but when he starts shilling for Romney, I switch channels.

This global warming nonsense is just another place where Romney has missed it, and Hewitt dutifully tries to spin it as a good move on Romney’s part.

Many folks have that “electable” myth in their head.

1. It’s better to go down standing than on ones knees. The electable choice gives you someone that pushes or agrees with all the liberal causes anyhow and outside of the Republican party being happy because they won, those that are conservative are no better off with a Bush vs. a Clinton.

2. The goal should be to sell the Conservative message, to find a candidate that has some chance of winning but isn’t a complete sell out to the meaning of “conservative.” We have enough Arlen Specters. If the time is wrong and the stars simply don’t line up, lose with dignity and wait for when conditions are right.

Stop with the “electable” crap.

NO HUGH they do not! Why would they have to admit something that is not proven. Nevermind. Appease, appease, appease. That will win for us. Jackass.

This is one of the most absurd things I have ever read.

AGW is non-mysterious. It is possible to know the truth. Enormous progress towards truth has been made in the past two years. To advocate speaking lies because it will please voters is WORSE than promoting the lies directly.

I’m looking for the candidate who says the science is not settled on global warming, offhandedly acknowledges the fact that CO2 has increased in the atmosphere, probably due to burning of fossil fuels, etc., but is unwilling to spend another dime of taxpayer funds on it and is unwilling to tolerate a single EPA regulation based on CO2 generation, until it becomes much clearer that we even have a problem.

Because if we really do have a problem, it’s so far into the future that we can afford to let future generations do something about it, and we have plenty of other problems that constitute a far higher claim on taxpayer funding today.

Someone needs to rein in this nonsense, and soon. Australia has already taken a huge plunge over this cliff. We certainly don’t need to follow along...

Besides, by the end of 8 years of the next Republican President’s term in 2021, it might even be obvious that the recent abatement of warming marked a turnaround to cooling rather than a pause in the warming, as some of the people who put more stock in the sun’s role in all this seem to be thinking. By that time Romney will look like a moron on the subject, but so will most of the Washington establishment, so he’ll have plenty of company.

This entire scam is based on the reality that CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere have increased due to the burning of fossil fuels. But most of what has been built upon that reality is pure fantasy strewn about by power-hungry politicians and the people hanging on their coattails with their hands out.

Which progress are we talking about? The CERN Institute?

[Rocky]

I agree. Electing Romney is a depressing thought. Might as well elect Hillary. It’s time to stand up and be counted. If not now, when?

[RedMonqey]

But his record is a major concern!

I agree....
