Weakness? Gee, ya think??

Romney is so pathetically weak and spineless that (as noted by the author) he even makes McCain look good.

[Monterrosa-24]

No, McCain was the weaker one in kowtowing to the media and kowtowing to Obama. Romney should have said that Obama spending the country into bankruptcy while cutting defense should be raising eyebrows everywhere and that even “treason” should not be off the table.

Mitt Romney Won't Stand Up To His Own Party

So sayeth spineless girlieman Dana Milbank.

[Perdogg]

I think it is pathetic to quote Dana Milbank of all people.

[Mr. Lucky]

So, you joined FreeRepublic to complain that Romney should stand up to the conservatives in the Republican party? Seriously?

[kevcol]

Dana Millbank has an agenda, I hope you know that.

Regardless, Willard has stood up against the Conservatives in his party too many times to count and that's the problem. Millbank knows this but is part of the agenda to cast Willard as a Tea party candidate - the farthest thing from the truth. Actions speak louder than words. Its the GOP-e/lib/socialists that he will not stand up to and why should he? he's one of them.

Almost four years ago, I was watching Sarah Palin rile up a Clearwater, Fla., crowd with anti-Obama broadsides when a spectator let loose a bloodcurdling cry of "kill him!"

Dana..that was a myth that was investigated by the Secret Service and thoroughly debunked as false..but then again..why ruin a good hit piece with facts..

"No, ma'am," he said, taking the microphone from the woman and enduring some boos from supporters. "He's a decent, family-man citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues."...

...and thus died McCain's candidacy for president.

[NeoCaveman]

McCain was a humorless scold and a sanctimonious one at that.

At least Romney isn’t that.

[BubbaBasher]

I see this as a positive. That means the Conservatives that get elected to Congress will be able to push through our agenda.

[TonyInOhio]

Dana, is that you?

[pacpam]

When Obama disavows the new black panthers, Nation of Islam, Black Liberation Theology and their touch throwers, I’ll take Milbank seriously. Don’t have much use for Demos criticising Republicans and claiming other Republicans should do the same.

[oyez]

Romney is now the offical punching bag for the MSM, the DNC and about half of Free Republic.

[luvbach1]

Pounding Romney at this point (now that his candidacy is inevitable), no matter how justified, serves no purpose other than to help Obama. Like it or not, he's all we have to remove the present menace from office.

[Flightdeck]

Did you even read the article, moron? By “not standing up to his party”, Romney would be tacitly agreeing with the audience member and nearly everyone on FR.

What was your screen name before you got banned?

[muleskinner]

Dana Millbank is the banner bearer and Herald of Obama. What do you think he's going to say?

[RIghtwardHo]

Couldn’t agree more. I have never seen a politician so weak and I’ve been voting since Goldwater.

Can we just get past the upcoming 2012 nightmare and get to 2016 please?

[Idaho_Cowboy]

Whoa. I normally am not one to stand up for Mitt Romney. However, in this case, I will. Romney did the right thing by keeping his mouth shut.

What Rush Limbaugh said was correct, and he needed no chastising from the likes of Romney. As far as the comments he did not rebuke, why should he have. Barrack Obama has made it quite clear that he does not have the best interest of America at heart. If anything showed any weakness it was not defending Limbaugh and not agreeing with the protesters.

Romney is spineless, but this isn't the proof of it. I get tired of spineless Republicans who bash Rush Limbaugh just to appease the media, at least Romney didn't do that.

[SaraJohnson]

They want Romney to kill his chances against the Kenyan like dummy McLame did. Will liberal Mittens bite? Ofcourse he will! Before it’s over he’ll be trying to out marxist the Kenyan.

Someone in that campaign needs to find their lips and drop some quotes from Obama’s people at OWS, NOI and gay radicals. Make him and his media distance themselves from their own haters.

[Fledermaus]

Dana Milbank must be happy Obama is now for gay marriage.
