Re: The GOP elite pushing Romney - they don't call them stupid party for nothing!!
Ref: Romney in his own words - a compilation of a dozen or more Romney clips ^ | Nov 14, 2011 | Jim Robinson

The GOP establishment elite lining up behind Mitt Romney are either tone deaf or brain dead. They've totally misread the mood of the American people. We the people are fed up with smooth-talking, two-faced, flip-flopping, business as usual big government political whoring and are not going to take it anymore!!

McCain suspended his campaign in 2008 to rush back to Washington to save the world from the great economic collapse that would usher in the Great Depression II. Instead, he delivered America to the Marxist B. Hussein Obama who's ushering in the wholesale wanton destruction of America as a free country.

TARP. The bailouts. The taking of the car companies and giving them to the unions. The Porkulus stimulus package. ObamaCare. Obama's ridiculous war against coal, oil and gas, manufacturing and industry, and against capitalism and freedom itself. The idiotic federal push for a "green economy." The trampling of the constitution. The corruption. The crony capitalism. Big government. Big spending. Big borrowing. Big taxing. DC ramming it down the throats of the American people, despite our protests.

How soon Rove, Krauthammer and the elite GOP ruling class forget. But we are not stupid and we have not forgotten. These are the reasons we the people have risen up against the political class. We the TEA party have protested and rallied in every state and city during the last three years and our rebellion produced sweeping results in the 2010 congressional elections and in local and state governments all across the land.

We have an open rebellion brewing while the GOP fiddles. We're not talking about rearranging the deck chairs or fussing with the details. We're talking about a complete sweep of business as usual scum bucket politicians and their intrusive, oppressive, unelected, unaccountable, unconstitutional federal bureaucracy. We're going to continue building our tea party majority in the House and we're going to take the Senate. And if the GOP leadership gets out of the way, we're going to take the White House. Follow the lead of the GOP and we lose to Obama.

For starters, our goals are to repeal ObamaCare. Repeal Obama! Throw out or flatten the income tax. Privatize social security and medicare. Repeal Dodd-Frank. Shutter the EPA. Repeal the regulations that are killing our economy. Shutter the Commerce dept. Shutter the Education dept. Shutter the Energy dept. Shutter freddie and fannie. Shutter health, education and welfare. Get a handle on the Fed. Secure our borders! Reinstate the constitutional restrictions and limitations on government. Enforce the Tenth Amendment. Return health, education, housing, banking, welfare and all other functions not expressly delegated to the federal government by the constitution to the states and the people. Get the federal government out of our local affairs, out of our business, out of our schools, out of our churches, off our backs and out of our faces!! Set our people free to produce, prosper and live freely as God and our founders intended!!

Romney, as chief-architect and advocate of RomneyCare which directly led to ObamaCare, is not the one to lead this rebellion. Romney swears by TARP, the bailouts, the stimulus packages. Romney lives for BIG government. Look at his record. He still brags today about his anti-liberty, anti-free economy, big government mandated, RomneyCare for Pete's sake. Romney is not the kind of guy who will sweep out the intrusive federal government and shutter entire departments and agencies. He'll do nothing to upset the federal gravy trains of the progressive income tax, medicare, freddie, fannie, banking, the Fed, the EPA, the endless tax laws and regulations and the myriad of corrupt, overbearing, unconstitutional federal ABC departments and agencies that are killing our economy and oppressing our freedoms.

Romney is the establishment's anti-Reagan, anti-tea party, smooth talking, good hair, don't rock the boat, big government guy.

"I was an independent during Reagan Bush. I'm not returning to Reagan-Bush!" --Mitt Romney (angrily)

"In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government IS the problem." --Ronald Reagan

Conversely, Romney openly declares that only government can solve our problems.

No business as usual progressive RINOs!! No Romney!! No way!!

Long live the TEA party rebellion!!

Long live our free Republic!!

Here’s what we’ll be hearing for the next year if Rove, Krauthammer, Bill Kristol, and the rest of the Republicrats select Romney as the nominee (funny how they bury their heads in the sand to this):

“After a Romney Deal, Profits and Then Layoffs”

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/13/us/politics/after-mitt-romney-deal-company-showed-profits-and-then-layoffs.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all

1,700 US workers laid off after Romney-approved deal... Herman Cain, OTOH, grew business and hired thousands.

Let the Rove types push this loserall they want, it isn’t working. 75% of the base wants nothing to do with him. The Elites don’t hold the persuasive power they once had and that is a good thing.

I don’t believe the GOP elites are ‘pushing’ Newt - I believe they hate him and turned on him in 1999. Newt is the true maverick. The GOP establishment only pushes one ‘it’s his turn’ not two.

If, heaven forbid, the MSM is successful in demonizing Herman - Newt will be better than Romney.

As of now - most polls show 75-82 percent of likely GOP voters don’t want Romney.

If Romney gets nominated, the press will suddenly discover that he is a Mormon and what a dangerous cult it is with polygamy, etc. Obama will be reelected in a landslide.

Wait till the MSM starts covering the racist past of Mormonism. Romney will be the devil trying to destroy the black man. He will be toast.

I used to think that but after doing some research, I’m not so sure. I honestly would be really nervous with either one at this point.

I’m praying it doesn’t come to that!

The non-RINO/non-Romney sentiment is 77% among GOP voters.

RINO = Romney + Huntsman + Johnson = 23%

Non-RINO = Cain + Gingrich + Perry + Paul + Bachman + Santorum = 77%

The non-RINO’s are NOT perfect conservatives, none of them. But we MUST reject the candidates of the elitists and the MSM: Romney, Huntsman, & Johnson

I posted two weeks ago about the msm pushing Gingrich 24/7 and going right along were the ‘conservative’ pundits. EVERYTHING was Gingrich, worth a second look; Gingrich, the smartest man in the room; Gingrich the only one with real solutions; Gingrich....

Sorry. Been there, done that.
Reagan Conservatism is dead.
Manmade global warming.
Scozzafava, which he NEVER apologized for.
Ryan’s right wing socialism.
Serial adulterer.
Buys his wife off with expensive jewelry and luxury cruises...using campaign funds.
And oh, so much more...

Good algebra.

I was going to order you to take Ron Paul out of the equation, but I like the math better leaving him in;) LOL!!

Cannot see any Paulbots voting for Romney - but where do you believe they will shake out?

When the RINOs talk about needing people with government experience to run for President then ask them why when the survival of Italy is in the balance they picked a non politician to run the country. Mario Monti. Cain for now.

Newt Gingrich is the CONSUMMATE insider politician. Every dem on Capitol Hill is his buddy. He trashed the TEA Party for being too purist. Good Lord.
