AZ-Sen. 2010: Romney endorses McCain for re-election (BARF ALERT)

You mean like, Romney really thinks people should vote for McCain, and Palin doesn’t but is telling them to vote for McCain anyway?

What do you think that’s better, to lie to people about who you think the best candidate is, or to actually think McCain is the best candidate?

Attacking Gov. Palin worked out real well for us. Let's do it again

And only Diogenes could think it makes any sense that Romney endorsing McCain, the SAME candidate that Palin is endorsing, is actually an attack on Palin by Romney and McCain.

If Romney came out and said "Sarah Palin is wrong, you should vote for Hayworth", I'm sure that would also be considered an attack on Palin -- which it actually would be.

In this case, Romney, Palin, and McCain are on the same team. And Romney is on the WRONG team.

Yes, indeed. The GOP obviously needs more cleansing.

Just donated to Hayworth. I’m a little low on cash and this gave me the motivation to scrape together the money.

That’s it! Another $15 headed to Hayworth.

As someone who donated heavily to J.D. Hayworth the year he lost his congressional seat, went to fund-raisers and made hundreds of phone calls for him, I cannot go along with his candidacy. I live in his district, and I was embarrassed at the number of conservatives I met and talked to who got just plain sick of his connections with lobbyists and his ability to irritate his supporters. The guy is not who you think he is. I would vote for him if he wins this primary, but I really don’t think he’s the kind of conservative I want in any office. He’s not all that different from McCain, except that McCain has often taken solid stands against profligate spending etc. Not to mention that J.D. was just plain boring on his radio show.

Do you NEVER tire of defending Mitt Romney-care?

Mitt Willard Romney-care deserves exactly the loyalty he gave Gov. Palin -- NONE

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.

Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."

Kathleen Parker: "[I]t is increasingly clear that Palin is a problem." "Parker ... says something publicly that many of us have thought privately
but lacked the courage to say out loud - Palin should step down:"

"Kathleen Parker: After Interviews, Palin Should Bow Out"

Kathleen Parker: "Romney would bring more than squeaky clean qualifications
and youthful good looks to the ticket.
Romney would seem a logical choice."

"Parker: Romney raised bar on freedoms"
Kathleen Parker: "If Kennedy's speech was an important landmark in American political history,
Romney's was surpassing. With heartfelt humility and poetic eloquence,
he tracked the nation's struggle with and for freedom."

Staggering bigotry of Kathleen Parker - UPDATED"

Who benefits most from Sanford meltdown? Californian (that's right) Mitt 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?"

It is interesting how downplayed her endorsement is on his web site.

The only quote I could find was this: ““Sarah energized our nation and remains a leading voice in the Republican Party.”

Maybe he had a bigger statement, but I can’t find it.

There also isn’t a formal letter of endorsement from Palin, maybe she didn’t send one, or maybe they didn’t post it. They do have her endorsement from the Fox news show.

Romney and Palin, also rans to Ron Paul.

Romeny won 11 states, RuPaul won none. Palin was the veep nominee, so putting her in this comparision is absurd.

So, like most Paultards, your knowledge of history is even more feeble than your knowledge of politics and foreign affairs.

Palin is doing radio ads, but they sound pretty canned and like she is reading a script.

That was two years ago. This is now. Harold Stassen was also a top candidate at one time.

"Senator McCain's record of service and sacrifice for America is honored by all," Romney said in a statement. "But I believe that it is his core values of courage, faith and honor – forged in battle and confirmed by a lifetime of service to America – that make Senator McCain's leadership in the United States Senate so necessary in these perilous times."

When THIS is McCain's idea of America?

“A person’s health is being left in his own uninformed hands instead of being overseen by those trained in the field. Government has an obligation to save such a person from his own folly.”

This last from Romney:

Romney said it is "hard to imagine the United States Senate without John McCain."

Yes, well you know what they say, when you dream, DREAM BIG.

Brudder.

Palin is teaming up with quite a pair between McAmnesty and Romney.

Which creates quite a conundrum for Sarah's supporters here on FR whose response to ANY poster who is critical of Sarah is that they're a 'RomneyBot', does this mean that someone who supports Romney is now actually a Palin ally?

For the record, I've NEVER supported that fake conservative Romney, he's a liar and a fraud and isn't just two-faced, he's MULTIPLE-faced!

[You hear that Brice? I'm trusting that you won't try to pull that 'RomneyBot' crap on me again, capeche'?]

That was two years ago. This is now. Harold Stassen was also a top candidate at one time.

So you are trying to make a CPAC straw poll deliberately juiced by your fellow Paultards as indicators of RuPaul's electibility? Gawd, that makes you even MORE stupid.

I don’t think “half-hearted” is a good thing to be.

We expect more from our leaders than “reading from a script”. So as much as it pains me, I hope that Palin either makes an impassioned defense of McCain, explaining why he is the best candidate for arizona, or that she withdraws her endorsement.

I have no doubt Romney and Fred Thompson think McCain is better than Hayworth. I also am pretty sure Palin thinks McCain is better than Hayworth. But in any case, her thinking that is MUCH better than finding out that she didn’t think that, but told us she did anyway.

Do you NEVER tire of defending Mitt Romney-care?

Only Diogenesis could take a post that says "Mitt Romney is on the wrong team", talking about an endorsement, and somehow think the post is defending Mitt Romney's failed health care plan.

Are you a democrat and/or McCain troll ............ Newbie?

sniff, post 86

Only a RomneyBOT would try to fool intelligent FReepers
into thinking that was the only post you have every made.
ROTFLOL

No, it’s apples and oranges. Not the same thing at all. DeMint has taken an active - and official - roll in promoting conservative candidates in primaries. So his purposefuly absence in this race is more meaningful than if Palin or Romney stayed neutral IMO (although I wish they both had). Your opinion may differ.
