Dole could have easily made the same argument about Jon Corzine six months ago...
Their only concern is keeping the gravy train running.
New tagline ...
It is remarkable that the well-orchestrated blitzkrieg to save Florida for Romney was designed solely to raise doubts about Gingrich’s character and electability – rather than convince voters that Romney, on the merits, should be president. It makes you wonder whether the GOP luminaries supporting this guy really believe in him.Yes. It really makes you wonder.
"Romney has spent about $16 million on attack ads against Gingrich in Florida. That is about twice the sum total of what all the other campaigns have spent on all expenses in the state put together. It is more than twice the total amount raised in the entire primary campaign in 2008 by Mike Huckabee, who won 8 states and about 280 delegates. It is roughly 1/5 of the amount Romney spent on his entire 2008 campaign, even though he ran the most inefficient and expensive primary campaign of the cycle and was forced to put in $35 million of his own money."
"$16 million is roughly the same amount the last two Florida governors spent on their entire gubernatorial campaigns, taking years to raise and many months to spend. It is roughly half the amount Barack Obama spent in Florida in the 2008 general election, including all campaign expenditures. $16 million is more than either Reagan or Carter spent on advertising during the entire national general election campaign. It is about 1/4 the total amounts raised in the 1992 campaign by Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush."
"Nothing like this, or even remotely approaching it, has ever been seen in American politics. Anyone who knows about it and defends or ignores it is an enemy of democracy and representative government."
I'm not certifying whether the facts noted are true or not. But if true, I couldn't agree more with his conclusion.
Romney never says what Romney will do to FIX anything.
Sure, he says things like “I'll repeal Obamacare. I'll bring back jobs. I'll buy your vote.”
But he never has anything specific at all to say about how or when he'll do anything. “In my first 100 days I'll think about what to do with the Space Program.” (Newt already knows what he wants to do with the Space Program.)
Romney is an egotistical business Executive, and damn good at making money (at other people's expense). But he is a Junior Staffer compared to Gingrich when it comes to Federal Government and knowing how to get things done — the RIGHT things done, regardless of which Washington Insiders he has to piss off to do it.
Damn it Florida, how can you not see this????
[ Yes, he served as governor of Massachusetts and implemented health insurance reforms that became the model for President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act ]
Seiously, wtf Are GOP voters thinking? Romney will be a disaster as the GOP nominee. A complete disaster!
