:: It seems Portman is being touted more and more as the VP pick for Romney. ::
Yes, it does appear that the media has decoded that Romney should choose Portman.
Romney and the RNC better start telling the media jackasses to go p*ss up a rope!
Mitt Toast picks Milk Toast?
“Everyone knows the worst thing in the world is to be known as a ‘boring white guy’.”
Right. Much better to have a jive, incompetent minority guy who will take the country over the edge of the cliff.
“Hey Susan, instead of simply accepting the characterization why not take exception to a disgusting racial slur?”
Susan apparently is under the same hypnosis that most public figures suffer from: if a racial slight is aimed at whitey it’s fair game; all other racial slights are off limit.
Romney picking a conservative is more than a slim possibility, IMO. He has no firm principles (neither conservative nor liberal) and will care only about winning. He may well recognize, as did McLame, that he needs to do what he can to reconcile conservatives to his candidacy.
That’s funny
If a lot of conservatives stay home we'll get...
Zer0 for a second term.
Romney wasn't my 1st choice, 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th, but he is waaaaaay better than Zer0.
Therefore I plan to vote for him. Sent him some money today too.
I swallowed my idealism and looked at the pragmatic side.
If Zer0 has another term, what will the Country be like for my kids, grandkids, great-grandkids.
“Romney will probably go with someone he likes, someone he is comfortable with, and that means he may pick a Democrat.”
You may be right. I heard that Romney was considering LIEberman as Sec. of State.
“The lucky boy or girl will have to fill in a few blanks, like adding color to the ticket, and/or sexual diversity, something like a black dyke, lover of at least on Hollywood actress. She will need to be a vegan, and look natural in a “Free Trayvon” shirt. Most importantly, Romney’s VP pick will have to speak fluent Spanish, and have at least 1/5 Cherokee blood in her.”
Such a pick would certainly quell any “just another boring white guy” talk.
“What Romney should really look for is someone with more intelligence than Biden.”
That will likely bring us back to another boring white guy.
You make conservatism weak and give the victory to the socialists.
I could probably find an issue that Sarah Palin (my first choice) and I don’t agree on. But I’d vote for her in a heartbeat.
I’m looking at the bigger picture.
There will likely be 2-3 Supreme Court Justices to be replaced, many lower court judges.
If Zer0 gets in we KNOW what kind of judges he will nominate. Romney at least gives us a chance.
By the coattail effect the Presidential winner may very well determine the makeup of Congress.
Standing on ideals has its limits. At some point practical considerations have to kick in.
We didn’t get the good conservative nominee we wanted but we did get someone a darn sight better than what’s in there now.
If we don’t get behind Romney, this time next year we’ll be sitting here watching our Country go down the tube, guaranteed.
It may anyway, but Zer0 again will ensure it.
That’s the same thing you said about McCain, Bush, Bush, Dole.....
Have you noticed? It’s not working.
Better than Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama. I voted the PALIN/what’shisname ticket last time.
So what are you going to do, stay home Nov 4 ? Write in Ron Paul?
Just face the truth. Mitt is no different than Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama. It’s time to vote for good, not lesser evil.
I’ll tell you what I’m going to do, not vote for this:
