JONAH GOLDBERG, 1/22/09 NY POST: ...... occupants of the White House bunker are coping w/ a toxic cocktail of denial, arrogance, self-pity, and Kool-Aid. Obama's nuanced analysis of the Bay State Gotterdammerung: "I did nothing wrong. One thing I regret....we lost that sense of speaking directly to the people." One year in office he did nothing but speak to the people w/ 158 interviews, and 411 public "speeches, and comments" ......his first SOTU address will be his 3rd TV address to a joint session of Congress.....now the populist card us being played; the man who mocked Scott Brown's truck is grabbing a pitchfork and joining the mob at the WH gates.

The one big thing he did was stay in his California home.

OMG! I know it won't make a difference, but it has to be said and repeated often.

The current version of ObamaCare being floated in WashDC may be dead. But some version of a health care bill is not dead! Government mandated and taxpayer subsidized national health care coverage for everyone is not dead. Scott Brown campaigned on reworking what is in the Congress right now and he promised to make it look more like RomneyCare. That will meet with the stamp of approval of the "41st Senator" and get his vote and the vote of other Pubbies.

The fact is, Scott Brown and Mitt Romney are pro-abort, northeast liberals. These Rockefeller Republicans are the antithesis of conservatism. They should both be opposed at every opportunity.

So many of you on here hate Mitt, you have to give him credit and thank him for using his resources and helping to find a candidate that he knew would win in Mass, and then showed him how.

I guess having some Conservative credentails helped Scott; because Mitt's 'team' could not get HIM elected!

Which is sweeter, which is more impossible, a Republican in the vacated "lion of the senate's" seat or a 1/2 black man in the oval office?

Amusing...Obama was whining yesterday that the Palestinian/Israeli Middle East problem was really, really hard. Basically, he’s giving up. (If anyone complains, he’ll blame Bush.)

You’re exactly right. Those campaign ads were spot on, perfect, and his staff told Brown to be himself and connect with people on the street, to work his butt off. Meanwhile, Martha collected money from DC lobbyists and insurance tycoons and got caught on camera watching one of her goons knock a reporter down. Then she lied about it although the entire incident was filmed. The debate was a laugh. Brown wiped the floor with her; she was appallingly ignorant. Then Obama came out with the Nebraska cornhusker swindle, secrecy about the healthcare plan when he’d lied and said it’d be on C-Span, and last...the $60 million union payoff. Martha was done. Romney helped make all this happen, God bless him. (And now the press is trying to ruin Brown and his family. Same treatment as Sarah got.)

I went to the website you gave and saw no evidence that it was disproved.

I happen to know quite a bit about the insides of that campaign. You may not like Romney but the facts remain. He was behind it all.

“One thing it does say about Mitt is that his folks know how to run a campaign,” Kaufman says.

I guess they learned some stuff since trying to get ROMNEY elected President; eh?

ladyjane (RomneyBOT, Utah):
"I went to the website you gave and saw no evidence that it was disproved.

First, the website was FreeRepublic and numerous evidence was there.
We know you are a lawyer, therefore entitled to lie,
but don't.

Second, Romney was not "behind it all".
Thank you for finally acknowledging that you Utahns RomneyBOTS
are manipulating
Massachusetts elections for your own reasons.

Third, FReepers are getting tired of RomeyBOTs putting down Senator Brown
for backstabber Romney. Reminiscent of Team Romney's attacks on Gov. Palin, doncha think?

Fourth, Romney has a history of faking endorsements.

There is quite a list now. How Romney is that?


ROMNEY's HISTORY OF FAKE ENDORSEMENTS
partial list

Typical Romney falsehood: "I told you what my position was, and what I, what I did as governor; the fact that I received the endorsement of the NRA."

The truth:

Romney: "“That’s not going to make me the hero of the NRA
Boston Herald (1994)

Romney: " “I don’t line up with the NRA.
Boston Globe, January 14, 2007



More Romney fake endorsements:

"Behind the empty gestures and deceptive rhetoric, Romney was not pro-life
or a defender of marriage by any stretch of the imagination.
He was a disaster," said O'Gorman, of the board for Massachusetts Citizens for Life.
He said Romney "deceptively" claims to have been awarded
a pro-life award from the group.

"The award Romney arranged for himself with the local Pioneer Valley Chapter
was the Mullins Award for Political Leadership, not a pro-life award
and not approved by MCFL's state board of directors," he said.
"We're blowing the whistle to warn voters…
"

cherry: "who hates Mitt?.....he’s a team player so it seems and I thank him for it.....""

Mitt Romney is not a Team player. He is a sore losing backstabber.


Team Romney are backstabbers.

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."


The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.


"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"


Poor sport spoiler Romney attacks other GOP candidates:

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson
."

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."
