Presidents approve congressional spending, mightily influence congressional spending and have the biggest bully pulpit out there communicating with the electorate, who influence congressional spending.
Romney will have NONE of that! He spent years and millions attacking competence. And his governorship proved his contempt for American values. He's called Barry lite for a reason and not ONLY because mitt is the grandfather of obamacare - he nurses his own little socialistic Romneycare!
“Choosing Portman would be all about winning Ohio. And finding someone who would not out-charisma Myth. For my money they’d be better off focusing on Florida, bringing on Rubio, and letting the charisma issue go.”
Negatory on that.
Portman is the better choice because Ohio will be a “more difficult win” for Romney than Florida. Romney needs both states to win, but Florida can probably be coaxed to the Republican side without the benefit of a native son on the ticket. Ohio is more problematic, and without Ohio, Romney hasn’t a prayer to win.
Also, there is a VERY good reason why Portman is the better choice than Rubio. It’s a matter of hot contention, but Rubio’s Constitutional qualifications to be president are questionable and will be attacked by the ‘rats and by the media. And… there are many conservatives who are of the opinion that, regardless of his smooth external appearance, Rubio isn’t really very “conservative” at all, and is an amnesty suppporter in his heart.
My opinion only, yours is different. But I sense that in the future, Rubio is going to be just one more disappointment to the conservative cause.
another RINO?
where is he on homosexual based marriage? if he support it then he is out.
Does he oppose the federal marriage amendment? if not then he is out.
This UN small arms anti-second amendment treaty?
Obamatax?
Portman is not even on the f-list let alone the a-list.
he might win Ohio but at what price? it might be a pyric victory.
I can't imagine a single Ohioan who wouldn't have voted for Romney suddenly getting excited enough about Portman to pull the lever for the pair of them.
Good point.
Yes, truly the Stupid Party, but Mitt could do worse. I shudder to think of the RINOs he might choose!
Well she certainly looks excited to be standing next to Hillary.
And vice-versa...
I can see the banners now:
ROMNEYCANOE AND PORTMAN TOO!
Is anyone surprised?
So, all of the soldiers, sailors and airmen who thought Patton and Marshall were superior leaders over Eisenhower should have gone AWOL instead of fighting the Nazis when Eisenhower was named Supreme Allied Commander in Europe?
You are talking about men who loved and served our country, I’m talking about a man with NO military background but sought out four draft deferments, and his 5 boys and none have served and neither did his father.
They TAKE from America and all she has to offer has done NOTHING FOR America. Patriotism is zippo w/the Romney’s w/their appearance of “that’s someone else’s job they do FOR THEM.” Bunch of faggots!
If you believe that serving in the military is the only way to serve your country then you are beyond hope.
The primaries are over. The forces of conservatism could not produce a candidate that could beat Romney. Now, there is only one practical and legal way to remove Obama from office and that is to elect Romney. Period.
