Welcome to the latest round of Rupert's Helpful Unsolicited Advice, delivered to Mitt Romney and his campaign via the News Corp. chairman's Twitter feed:
@rupertmurdoch Retrospect; Conventions mixed but net big win for democrats. Michelle O and Clinton the big stars. Bill brilliant, Hillary away until 016.
@rupertmurdoch Election: Romney must draw clear line: offer specific path to restore American dream versus ugly Obama class war with jobs disappearing.
@rupertmurdoch Election: To win Romney must open big tent to sympathetic families. Stop fearing far right which has nowhere else to go. Otherwise no hope
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
He should be fearing the far left that is currently running the District of Corruption.
Mr. Mitt:
I get your concerns, but you are blowing it.
Stop worrying about the right. Embrace them. Seriously.
Now - until election day and beyond.
Also while you’re at it: Raise the profile of your VP!
Romney is not afraid of the far right. He despises the far right. He despises anything right of center.
He goes on leftist radio and television, but refuses to get interviewed by the likes of Rush Limbaugh or Mark Levin.
Obama may be an empty chair, but Romney is an empty suit.
another ass braying in the wilderness
Rupert's got that right.
I have nowhere to go. (shrug) So I'll be staying home.
That Rupert is one smart feller.
Yes, if they suppress the conservative vote, then Obama is a sure winner.
What you say may be correct.
From what your profile indicates you are in a state that is a given for Obama. So why complain about things? You have the luxury of voting third party without repercussion.
Although Texas should stay “red”, I’ll take no chances.
The primaries are over. This what we have. I don’t like it. I was never for Romney. But I’m pretty well through with griping about what Myth doesn’t do. Maybe he goes on leftist media to appeal to that crowd. Is it right? I don’t know because I’m not a politician.
They don't want to "suppress" the conservative vote, they just want to take it for granted. Murdoch obviously believes conservatives will "hold their noses" and vote for Romney no matter what, so Romney may as well be his liberal self. Probably many conservatives will, yet again, hold their noses and vote for Romney. Not me. I've been holding my nose so long I'm turning into a mouth breather. No more. Done. Include me out of this one. Good luck.

The primaries were a joke. The fix was in for Romney with all the open primaries and open caucuses and the whole GOP establishment hawking for Romney. By the time the primaries got to California Romney was already the "presumptive" nominee. I had no choice in the matter and neither did half the Republicans in this country.
Romney is a lying sack of shit who is not qualified to lead a boy scout troop because he thinks that boy scouts should be sodomizing each other at camp.
Piss be upon him.
Mr. Murdoch apparently does not understand that this kind of a statement is considered "far right."
Exactly. Murdoch’s statement is idiotic. He complains about the present course of the campaign and recommends he presents a conservative alternative, and then criticizes those saying the exact same thing. Maybe in some minds Extrem Right aren’t conservatives., it would be completely ignorant for someone whos in the know as Murdock not to realize that conservatism is what is winning elections. I don’t know how to make sense of his statement.
I feel the same way and will vote third party.My state will go for romnuts so I will vote for mickey —ckin mouse.
I don’t disagree with you in any way. It was pre-arranged. It has been for years.
It made no difference, for many reasons, before it reached my state as well.
The whole Boy Scout thing? It doesn’t jive with what I have read. The Boy Scouts are a private organization that can control what happens within their organization. If they choose to.
Even before the deplorable events of today I would have voted for an empty tuna can over The Won. Two embassies attacked and yet another snub to Isreal....on 9/11. Yeah, I’m worried about the Boy Scouts...not.
Vote for a third party...you have that luxury in Cali.
Far right meaning supporting a small government, reducing the size of government dramatically, securing our borders, massive spending cuts etc...
Romney has good reason to fear the right.
But we should not fear pandering to islam or something?
What is the right? Some terrorist group?
What is with these people’s senses?
You should learn the difference between a complaint and a legitimately based, credible opinion.
And who is running, with a reasonable chance of winning that will do those things....or has in the past?
>>>What you say may be correct. From what your profile indicates you are in a state that is a given for Obama. So why complain about things?<<<<
You should learn the difference between a complaint and a legitimately based, credible opinion.
*chuckle*
This whole board is based on opinions, is it not?
I don’t have a problem telling the difference. Do you?
""You should learn the difference between a complaint and a legitimately based, credible opinion.""
Ya see, I never asked you for an opinion, but rather attempted to education you. You failed.
BTW, is this opinion in your estimation? Can you tell the difference?
I don’t understand the point here. Mitt should ignore the conservative base in order to “establish clear lines” between him and Obama. Huh?
“attempted to education you”
Wel, I sherly apreshiate thet.
My point is this...if you live in a state where Obama is going to win, along with Pelosi and Boxer maybe it’s best to support a third party and support that candidate and shout their virtues from the rooftops. Or maybe it might be best to try and change your state. jmho I might have to do the same at some point where I live.
BTW, is this opinion in your estimation? Can ya tell the difference?
Slick finding that typo!
See the tagline.
“He goes on leftist radio...”
You might want to re-read the thread. I never stated that.
(P-Marlowe...courtesy ping.)
I hate to tell ya this, but I don’t really care if a candidate goes on these radio programs. I find it demeaming. I don’t like that they go on Letterman, Lenno.
So has The Won been interviewed by Rush or Levin...or even Hannity?
It may matter to some, but not to me.
What the he!! are you typing about?
I’ll have what you are drinking.:)
With you living in TX, you might have a little better inside info than most on this topic. Sadly, the homophiles are now inside BSA's National Executive Board.
http://www.charter.net/news/read.php?rip_id=%3CD9VCBA581%40news.ap.org%3E&ps=931
CEO on Scouts' governing board opposes ban on gays
June 13, 2012
Two CEOs on the BSA national executive board, James Turly of Ernst & Young and Randall Stephenson of AT&T, pledged to work inside BSA to change its membership policy to include homosexuals. Stephenson is expected to be selected as the BSA national president in 2014.
Ultimately the Scouts will cave because they seek the goodwill of their destroyers.
Good post. I don’t worry too much about those here on FR that maintain they are not going to vote because the nominee is Romney. They weren’t going to anyway.

Agreed. I live in Manhattan. I’m not voting for Romney!
If i lived in even a state that had a slight chance for him (like my birthplace of NJ) I would hold my nose, but I have this luxury of actually getting to give my true opinion!
This whole board is based on opinions, is it not?
From post #4:Romney is not afraid of the far right. He despises the far right. He despises anything right of center. He goes on leftist radio and television, but refuses to get interviewed by the likes of Rush Limbaugh or Mark Levin.
I hate to tell ya this, but I don’t really care if a candidate goes on these radio programs.
You seem a bit slow Mr. berdie.
You were not asked your opinion, but were repeatedly asked if the above in bold was opinion or fact and you've evaded the question repeatedly.
Has Romney appeared on these conservative shows? Does he favor far right conservatives?
Is it fact or opinion Mr. berdie?
I am going to assume that the poster of comment #4 knows his FACTS and Romney has never been on Rush or Levin. I’m not going to spend any time to verify this as it is of minor consequence to me. It just isn’t that important in the overall scheme of things, in my humble OPINION.
I really appreciate the time you have spent trying to educate me. I really, really...really do. If at some time in the future I find the need for edification on ANY topic, I have your name on speed dial.
Romney is not afraid of the far right. He despises the far right. He despises anything right of center.
#1. Is the above fact of fiction?
#2. Ya think anyone would accuse Romney of supporting far right conservatives?
3. BTW, ya think it's a bit odd Romney the Republican wouldn't interview with the biggest on air conservatives in the U.S.?
#1 Fact...except the “despise” part which is opinion.
#2 Nope...none of the GOPe does
#3 Nope
Romney cannot embrace conservatives because because he sees them as naive tools to be used to support his personal ambition. After this election, after Romney has left the political stage, his liberal base will try to blame conservatives for his defeat. Maybe then conservatives can once again unite to support conservative initiatives. Maybe then Romney supporters can be reconciled with conservative values .
Maybe.
