The Washington Republican insiders and consultants, who are velcroed on to Governor Romney -- such as Saul, Stevens and Schriefer -- readily accept the liberal premises upon which Obama and the establishment media want to frame the campaign. Romney’s advisors are certainly much more comfortable attacking conservatives and defending establishment Republicans, like Crist and Hatch, than they are at crafting winning conservative alternatives to Obama’s disastrous liberal agenda.

And Obama, and the MSM, and the Libs, and the Dem Party . . shall I go on?

We live too much in this bubble. Most Americans don’t think the way we Conservatives think. Most Americans don’t think the way Liberals think. We can cling and hope and pray that Rasmussen isn’t an outlier when every single poll has this from a solid win to landslide for Obama, getting excited when someone says something we believe ... or we can realize we are a minority, doomed to eternal minority status if we ever again listen to the GOP elite about whom to nominate and how to run OUR Party.

We will never, ever gain a wider acceptance of Conservative values through sheer force of will and wishful thinking.

“Some of Governor Romney’s most influential staff are veterans of Florida’s liberal Republican turncoat former Governor Charlie Crist’s campaign.”

Oh sh*t.

IOW, Paul Ryan is window dressing -- "to fool the bubbas" (if that's the expression)?

Seem like a typical Romney trick, but I don't think Paul Ryan knows it -- yet.

Please...give this a break. McCain chose Palin, why didn't Romney do it?, there are no conservatives in Mitt's camp blah blah blah crapolla harping nonsense.......

Palin, despite a gargantuan pleading (from me also who swore to donate by credit card often and largely if she declared anything) from supporters chose to demur and settle her personal goals whatever they are.

Pick this man's campaign apart in it nascent reprise with a new conservative running mate. Pick it apart. Harp on the ‘could haves’ the “we can't accept anything less than ideological purity” and give this election to Obama on bended frickin’ knee.

I am so tired of this. I'm not saying I agree with everything Romney has to offer and I don't post Pro-Romney spew like some on the religion thread post against him, but I damned sure know what I'll get with Obama in the next 4 years. If you guys, the mod, or Jim Robinson want to ban me for saying it, then do it.

It is one thing to oppose an ideological opponent against your ethic. It is another to give it all way to an opponent even more committed to your destruction. I'm not gonna head into a 15th year here listenng about Dictator Obama if I can help it.

Romney may be liberal, but he is also smarter than McCain. I know, everyone is smarter than McCain, but Romney knows how to make smart business decisions.

I doubt they have much to worry about since the purists will likely insure the kenyan muslim get 4 more years of unfettered reign.

Mr. RomneyCARE has ALWAYS supported Obama and their policies.
He was never in this to win. Just to make money.

AMERICA NEEDS A VOCAL CONSERVATIVE POTUS
to remove ALL the evil installed by Obama and Romney.

Viguerie needs to get over the fact Santorum didn't make it.

But if Romney is so captured by his staffers how did he break free of their clutches long enough to pick Ryan?

Dan Senor is a great and brilliant adviser on foreign policy.

If Hatch is so bad, why does Sarah support him?

Crist is hardly "establishment". He's never professed to be a conservative, but he's certainly not establishment.

Hatch? Oh, no, xzins. Sarah Palin backed Hatch, and has sent him to a re-education camp. Hatch will be now Palinized, pure as the wind driven snow to the benefit of conservatives. Sarah implied as much.

How could you be so far off on dear Hatch? /s /s #)

Paul Ryan is a lot smarter and quicker on his feet than the corrupt establishment creeps that have attached themselves to Romney’s campaign. Hopefully he can talk Willard into cleaning house at some point in the campaign.

Hopefully he can talk Willard into cleaning house at some point in the campaign. Let’s face it, there’s no way that that group of guys picked Ryan amongst the available options. Clearly Mitt is operating independently of them to some degree.

"Some of Governor Romney’s most influential staff are veterans of Florida’s liberal Republican turncoat former Governor Charlie Crist’s campaign. This includes Romney’s chief media strategists, Stuart Stevens and Russ Schriefer and Romney’s floundering press secretary Andrea Saul, who was Crist’s communications director and also worked for establishment Republican Orin Hatch.

In addition to explaining why Tea Party backed Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who defeated Crist, never had a prayer of being Romney’s running mate, it also creates the perfect environment for the campaign to be plagued by the liberal staff versus conservative vice presidential candidate intrigue that bedeviled the 2008 McCain/Palin ticket."

There's not a shred of truth to that statement, given Romney had planted 3 of his top campaign operatives on Rubio's staff:

"Florida Sen.-elect Marco Rubio announced his top staff, which included three former Romney campaign hands. Sally Canfield, who served as Romney's policy adviser, will be Rubio's legislative director and chief policy adviser; Joe Pounder, who was in charge of rapid response for Romney, will be Rubio's communications director; and Alex Burgos, who directed specialty media for Romney, will serve as director of media affairs for Rubio." -- RCP/Time, Jan. 4, 2011
