Romney has been nothing but supportive of the McCain/Palin ticket and has been to Nevada three times in the last month in an attempt to help them save Nevada. In fact, he hosted a VP debate watching rally when Palin debated Biden and had nothing but positive things to say about Sarah.
You are right, CoD. I, too, sense the same underlying features emblematic in the liberals' Palin Derangement Syndrome that some Freepers display in their Romney Derangement Syndrome. It's sad. It's visceral and personal --- and, frankly, pathetic.
You mean when he’s lying about owning a gun?
Or lying about being a hunter?
Or lying about his gun-grabbing record?
Or lying about both he and his father marching with MLK?
Or lying about his pro-abortion record?
Those aren’t “flip-flops”, they are lies, either you own a gun or not, you are a hunter or not, your past gun record exists or not, you and Governor Romney marched with King or not, your past abortion record exists or not. It doesn’t matter what your political positions are, you cannot state that you own a gun when you in fact do not.
And you must have missed his record on Judicial appointments, it was discussed in detail here, about 25% of them were Republicans, probably none of them were conservatives.
Palin will win that showdown.
MYTH SLICK WILLARD can always run for POTUS on the Democrat ticket, wouldn’t be a problem for him at all.
Yes he is. Any of the above would have been better nominees. I had been hopeful, but it looks like my impression this time last year is right, a tall more or less nice looking young guy and an old fart who is almost as liberal.
I am voting for Sarah on 11/04.
Romney just comes off so fake. I think we need to unload everyone from the primaries this year. Huck should just stay on his show.
We need the young blood...Palin, Jindal, Pence, Cantor, Paul Ryan, McCotter (he should run against Granholm)
You are right. It is completely silly. Ridiculous, in fact. Romney has campaigned far and wide for this ticket.
On the other hand, nobody can deny that Mitt would have given Obama a much more spirited debate on the economy than did McCain this time around. Romney/Palin would have been my preference. We shall see what happens in the future though.
I am still praying McCain can win this thing in a month. I am hoping the Bradley effect is in play....
While many of the things I brought up were positions that Mitt changed overnight, none of my points were criticisms of his flip-flops.
I pointed out his lies and deceitfulness, his fakery, his insincerity. Mitt will agree with whatever audience he is addressing regardless of any principles he may or may not hold.
It’s too bad he is not sooooooooooo today, we might be winning.
Just imagine if Romney could have pulled off being reelected Governor, and then accomplished something.
He would have been so well-positioned for greater responsibility in 2012 or 2016.
Years from now he can campaign on having been a 1 term governor years ago and working on the Olympics back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
Don’t forget Doug Kemeic, an ex-Romney supporter who is now shilling for Obama. Doug Kemeic is a reflection of Mitt Romney and his supporters.
Therapy wouldn’t work. Neither would medication, a straight jacket, rubber room or shock therapy. Unfortunately, there is no hope. It is an incurable mental illness. : )
Your entire post is excellent. I suspect you overheard a telephone conversation I had with another Freeper last week. The left is doing to Governer Palin what a small percentage of idiots on the rigt did to Governor Romney, though you said it so much better. Great minds think alike and all that!
If McCain blows this, Palin will be the front-runner for 2012 over Romney and Schmuckabee. In fact, it will almost be no contest. Sarah would clean their clocks for the nomination.
Right you are, RG. There isn’t a person on the right who is more supportive of Governor Palin than Governor Romney and I can’t think of a better sport in or outside of politics anywhere. But then, unlike his perpetual critics, Mitt Romney has character and maturity (and he’s probably far better looking too!.) : )
I get the distinction. Some of them are arguable, but in any case I do not agree with your outrage. Politicians get called on false claims, and rightly so. Hillary in a hail of bullets comes to mind. Romney's missteps may have been significant, but they pale in comparison to his good record, leadership, and sincerity.
Mitt will agree with whatever audience he is addressing regardless of any principles he may or may not hold.
Romney has played differently to different audiences in different decades. Look, as a legitimate contender, he still needs to do politics. But largely he has been consistent in recent years, and seems certain to continue to be. Clearly, you disagree.
Maybe certain people on here will acknowledge his suckage if he runs against Palin and starts with the same arguments against her the rats are using now.
Depends if they are on payroll or not...
I’m not a DOuglas J. Hattaway, I’m just a refugee from the MA GOP and I can vouch for the statement, unfortunately.
