LOL.
I agree with you.
Romney’s temperature doesn’t rise visibly but he is strong and steadfast in his passion for reviving the economy.
As for Sarah Palin, my love for her has faded. She is now just a crumbling pressed flower in my old album.
Why the loyalty? She strung us along on the presidency and took all the wind out of the contest when she ... way too late ... declined to run.
She’s doing the same thing with her endorsement. People are waiting breathlessly to see who Sarah will endorse. She will endorse Romney in the end after holding her fans hostage for months hoping she will do something else.
—Unfortunately you just listed all of the reasons why Mittins is likely to pick Rubio.—
And that is because for Romney too this is “...all about cold, hard, heartless politics.”
What a choice we have this November. Fortunately, I don’t expect Obama to finish his term, but I hope that happens BEFORE the election.
This article is dead on. Romney needs to announce NOW......TODAY.... that he will name Marco Rubio as his VP choice and get Rubio out on the campaign trial immediately. I know the Convention has to affirm his nomination but that is a formality.
America needs some R&R..... Romney & Rubio. And, please, no s**t from the “Rubio is not eligible” people; I’m not in the mood for it today.
Bob McDonnell, Rob Portman, Terry Branstad, or John Kasich all might help the ticket more than Rubio. Rubio is Cuban--non-Cuban Hispanics may not be any more likely to vote Republican becasue he is on the ticket than they would otherwise.
All politicians pander to somebody. Some of them even pander to those of us who are Pro-life, and ANTI-illegal immigration, same-sex marriage, higher taxes, bigger government.................. It’s the nature of the beast.
So Romney is supposed to pander to the Latino vote because Obama just tried to buy them off?
Isn’t one of the biggest complaints we have with the GOP is their inability lead? Their almost insane belief that the Dems must lead and they will follow behind, barely putting on any brakes?
Rubio is a good guy and much more conservative than he is given credit for on here and I do believe he would make a good VP. Announcing his place on the ticket right now will be twisted as a failed attempt at one-upmanship on behalf of Romney and used by the media to claim racism at every single turn.
Bad idea this guy has.
The only drawback would be that he would no longer be in the House of Representatives.
_______________
I know. However....could he have MORE of an impact as VP?
Politics is pandering. But it doesn’t have to be made so obvious as trying to recoup after your opponent has pulled something out of his hat. That’s just sour grapes, and will be seen as such.
heh!
With ABO, we are allowing fear, anger, resentment, and desire for vengeance to totally erase that principle.
I love it.. and I very much like Rubio...contrary to what some believe above, I do not see him as a RINO and I like him for his politics, and also contrary to some above, this is very much a game and we have to play to win.
>>It’s nice to dream about Sarah Palin bursting out of a giant cake at the convention
What’s she wearing?
Sometimes, my FRiends, it is much better to have people curious and waiting for a response. At some point, the crowd will silence, and heads will turn with interest toward the speaker, and THAT is the time a wise leader makes an announcement.
.
OMG....... Picking Rubio as VP would cast in concrete the Romney lose.
Rubio is not qualified for the office of VP, he is not a natural born citizen. Do not try to qualify him using online sources. all on line sources have been abridged with malicious intent to subvert the constitution and the law. Seek out printed sources published prior to 2007 for research. You will find that Rubio is clearly not qualified.
It is a game because the media sets the table. They deliver the menu to the American people. The GOP will always have the least desirable table in the room. The waiters will not fawn over you at the GOP table. You will struggle to get their attention.
This WILL get their attention. And let me say this..., the GOP MUST get ahead of this issue. It is a REAL issue and you can not claim it is only playing the game the DNC has been for years. The Latino population is EVER growing and is the single fastest expanding voting bloc in the US. Without them you have NO future. I know many here just say ship them back all south of the border. That is not going to happen. Outside a revolutionary war. SOme of you will call on this as well.
There is one task Romney must perform that is critical for a win. In fact, if it is all he does, it guarantees a win. I can sum it up in two words: Show up.
The only way Romney will win is if the week before the election while playing golf Obama is hit in the head by an errant ball and dies right there.
Why does it even have to be explained that Romney is the designated looser and was carefully picked and then maneuvered into that position as the Republican nominee?
no s**t from the “Rubio is not eligible” people; I’m not in the mood for it today.
Tough! Rubio isn’t eligible, nor am I fully convinced Romney is qualified. Not that it makes a difference, Obama is the looser that will win in November.
That is if the convention doesn’t throw out Romney and pick “anyone” else.
The LIAR and trasher of conservative Newt is a POS. Nothing good comes out of evil. If you are into baby killing, perverted same sex marriage and socialism - he's your man and there isn't anything 'American' about that.
Liberal romney is rotten to the core like his brother, Barry. You simply prefer the one dressed in a different suit but both are godless men, one a muslim one a cult leader - with either one it's one nation under evil.
