Republicans are kidding themselves if they believe Mitt Romney, at least his current iteration, can win the election merely by attacking Barack Obama. Given Romney’s lack of conservative principles, perhaps that is for the best.
Who is Mitt Romney? What does he believe? Where are his core principles?
There is no need to seek penitence if you don’t know the answer to the preceding questions. After all, no one could provide a consistent answer. Romney was for gun control before he was the NRA’s proudest supporter, for health care reform before he championed the repeal of Romneycare (excuse me, Obamacare), for gay rights before he decided marriage was between a man and a woman, a fierce defender of abortion rights before he became the chief opponent of Roe v. Wade, and, well, you get the picture. (It seems Romney learned a lot from his fellow Massachusetts resident, John Kerry.)
Romney is a principled defender of things he finds incredibly important, until he discards those principles the moment the weather vane changes direction.
Eric Fehrnstrom (Romney’s chief campaign adviser) was speaking the truth this spring when he declared the Romney campaign would shake itself up like an Etch-A-Sketch after the Republican primary ended. But Fehrnstrom wasn’t telling the entire truth.

Just another hit-piece from the Flag-burning media trying to suppress the vote..and it won't work. People will be crawling over broken glass to vote Republican in November, while it'll take a few boxes of wine and Kool cigarettes to get Democrats on the MB Church buses to go to the polls.
MORE ROMNEY BASHING ?
Good post. Good issue. Romney-the-weak-CHOSEN-LOSER
will soon hide overseas.
EVERY IMPORTANT ISSUE IS TIMELY IGNORED by
Mr. ROMNEYCARE-the-Weak. Every one.
No one knows what this guy is for other than that he's not Obama.
He's even lost Governor Walker in Wisconsin
What is Mr. RomneyCARE for?
1. RomneyCARE for all.
2. Mr.RomneyCARE is on HIS KNEES to STATISM,
governmental control in medicine, TARP, Sharia,
global warming, the UN, gun control,
the 911 Victory mosque, and his insane notion that
Hezbollah should get RomneyCARE.
3. Mr. RomneyCARE’s BELIEF that HE
is more important than Constitutions (he already
overruled one) and the Truth (they don’t call him
Etch-a-Sketch for nothing) is the real issue.
Romney himself is acting and speaking as though he wants to lose. What are YOU going to do about THAT?
Romney is scoring points against Obama, so what do they do? They complain about him addressing Obama’s record.
I admit, it must be a real drag to have to try to support the Resident’s actions.
Like it or not, the person who will take the oath of office as President of the United States next January will be either Barack Hussein Obama or Willard Mitt Romney. Deal with it.
Am I happy about that choice? No. Was Romney my first choice? Hell, no.
Whatever Romney is, he's NOT Barack Obama. Wherever Romney fits on the political spectrum, it's to the right of Obama. While we may not know exactly where Romney will stand on any issue in the future, we do know EXACTLY what position Obama will take.
Go ahead. Sit this one out like this author suggests. Give Obama another four years to put more "wise latinas" on the Supreme Court, to sign UN treaties to take away our sovereignty, to craft executive orders to bypass our laws, to keep our borders open to illegals, to leak secrets to our enemies, to undermine Israel, to let Iran get nuclear weapons, and to spend more than a trillion dollars that we have to borrow from the Chinese each and every year with no end in sight.
Yeah, that'll show 'em!
Romney has been getting bashed by conservatives for a long time.
The question I raise is whether Romney's liberal base will just support him because of blind faith or will they demand that he become specific about his current beliefs. If he loses his liberal base, who will be left to support him?
FRiend, if Mr. Romney ACTUALLY spoke up,
then no one would complain.
THEN, he would not be in the unseemly position
of having his wife and sons defend him, as he
hides, and now will hide overseas.
FAST AND FURIOUS — ROMMNEY IS ABSENT
DNC PASSES IDIOTIC BILLS — ROMNEY IS ABSENT
UN “TREATIES” NEARBY — ROMNEY IS ABSENT
Get it together, FRiend, THAT IS HIS MO.
and then he screws you.
Yes - I am pretty sure Romney is not a Communist so I will vote for him. Obama is a Communist so I will not vote for him. Now, to all of you with the anti-Romney screeds, tell me what your brilliant plan is. And, tell me how that plan will help or not help prevent the Communist Obama from winning. You can start typing Now.
You have that right. Now, what do you plan to do to prevent the Communist from becoming President again? Hopefully this question is not over your head.
Let’s all write in Palin! That’ll show ‘em. And when BO gets re-elected let’s complain some more about how the country is going Marxist and scream from the nearest mountain how we didn’t vote for Romney on ‘principles’.
The GOP is dead no matter how you slice it. It started with Bush I.
If one is willing to let the country rot from the inside out just prevent the party from going RINO, they are too late.
Vote for the strongest conservative for sure in local and Congressional elections, but to sit out the most important election in our lifetime to stand on ‘princples’ that will be sliced and diced if BO gets another four years seems self depricating.
Don’t like Romney that much, but I really don’t like BO so if that’s the bent I have to vote on, so be it.
Conservatives getting rolled by the GOPe time and time again has to stop. "If not now then when?"
Who knows a 3rd party candidate might get a little traction and be a real factor in the election. But one thing is for sure the conservatives need to be in open rebellion over their "2 party system" that is in fact 1 party with two wings, socialist/Marxist. I am off the plantation.
The only argument that used to slightly convincing was Supreme Court appointments argument, well John Roberts nullified the voting GOPe for good court appointments arguments. Now there is absolutely no reason to vote GOPe, ever.
Let me add one more thing to your four-more-years-of-Obama list: more time for Obama to destroy American companies, especially the small companies.
Romney has many, many faults. But I really don't think he want to destroy what's left of America's small companies.
What he does lack, however, are musicians to follow him around and compose paeans like the ones following Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave...
"That's my theme music. Every good hero should have some. "
I hope that you can find a candidate that you can be proud to support. If you find yourself badmouthing your own candidate, look around for another one. You deserve to be proud of your vote.
And, trust God.
I won’t be voting for Romney, because he isn’t even close to what I want in a presidential candidate from my party.
That being said, this appears to be a hit piece on Romney to the exclusion of Obama.
Yes, Romney is bad, but if you’ve got two guys like Obama and Romney running, would you chose to focus on Romney with the wealth of information out there about Obama?
This article smells like rotten carp.
They don’t even like it that Romney is focusing on Obama’s record.
We were pissed when McCain didn’t address Obama’s record. Now Romney does, and this guy is angry about that.
I happen to think Romney stinks. I’m not going to vote for him. I’ll be damned if I’m going to try to talk everyone out of it that can stomach voting for him.
We either get a Resident or a President out of this election. One of these two guys won’t go overseas and bad mouth the United States every time. One of these two guys will help to grow jobs in the United States. One of these two guys will help grow the economy.
This time around, I will probably have to settle for that.
I may not like Romney, and in fact I can’t hold my nose and vote for him. None the less, the time for talking him down is over. I may not want Romney, but at least I can tolerate it. That’s more than I can say for the Resident.
