Scarborough Tweet-Taunts Romney: 'A Real Conservative Would Be Winning Now'
News Busters ^ | 9-9-12 | Tim Graham

Posted on 09/09/2012 12:55:08 PM PDT by cdchik123

The Huffington Post is happy: "MSNBC's Joe Scarborough offered some harsh words for Mitt Romney via Twitter on Saturday night."

"Romney will lose if he doesn't dramatically change his strategy," he said. "Negative ads won't substitute for conservative ideas."

The 'Morning Joe' host continued: "The Romney campaign is not conservative. It is just as cynical and risk-averse as Team Obama. A real conservative would be winning now."

..Scarborough also on Saturday criticized Romney for his vague policies.

"Romney has been clear he will avoid specifics on balancing the budget and shrinking government. Not the Reagan and Thatcher way," he said. "The truth is that Thatcher would have lost in 1979 and Reagan would have lost in 1980 if they had run as timid a campaign ad Mitt Romney."

He responded to critics: "Yikes. Denial has set in. Circle the wagons, ignore the storm clouds, blindly follow...Go Team Go!!"

He knows what to say in order to get real conservatives not to vote, thus re-electing Obama.

Scarborough isn't responsible for the fact that Romney is the pathetic hump who managed to lose to McCain.

Your statement lacks logic.

But, why would we look to a Manahattan pansy liberal like lil Joey Scarborough to tell us who conservatives are?

Conservatisim is dead. A majority of the people want want freebies now. Many who say they are Conservative are full of crap. They actually believe in the big government entitlements.

“Scarborough isn’t responsible for the fact that Romney is the pathetic hump who managed to lose to McCain. “

McCain didn’t win the 2008 nomination by being more conservative than Romney.

Everybody wants to blame “the GOP” and “the E”...., or Romney...

But the truth of the matter is that we conservatives beat ourselves by not unifying around one conservative.

So, we are to blame as much as anybody.

Our weakness is reiterated by our inability to rally to beat Obama.

You don’t make sense.

We had Gingrich, Santorum, and a host of others to rally around...we didn’t...so we were divided and weak and got Romney.

A real conservative wouldn’t be selling out on a third rate network.

Mitt has balanced more budgets than the idiot Scarabrow.

And Mitt hasn’t added billions of debt to the USA like the idiot Scarabrow either!

Keep it on the original topic that you inserted.

You need to direct your temper/ anger/soap box lecture to the Gop-e and Mitt; not to the people working the grassroots who want to keep truth in their lives.

‘..He knows what to say in order to get real conservatives not to vote, thus re-electing Obama...’

I watched Joe Scarborough sit quietly and let Chris Matthews give a lengthy, nasty speech directed at Reince Priebus. Scarborough’s co-host, who I believe is a liberal, finally said to Matthews..’tone’. I had little respect for Scarborough and, after this, I have zero respect for him. imho, he is just another self absorbed, phony.
