Analysis: The summer Mitt Romney didn't want
Yahoo News ^ | July 15, 2012 | Rick Klein

Posted on 07/16/2012 3:04:03 AM PDT by Truth29

"Somehow, the summer of national economic discontent morphed into the summer of when Mitt Romney left Bain Capital and how many years' worth of tax returns he's released to the public.

Along the way, Romney has lost control of his campaign message, and lost perhaps his best opportunity to define himself to undecided voters."

Remember, Mr. RomneyCARE was selected from millions of conservatives by the DNC/MSM to be the GOPe candidate precisely because Mr. RomneyCARE removes every issue the GOP might have had.

True. The choice for voters will be socialism or socialism lite. It doesn't matter much at this point however. The media have created the best possible conditions for Obama to win, but that won't necessarily get Obama the votes he needs.

he is the only one with a chance to get rid of Obama

Are you saying that other GOP candidates could not get rid of Obama?

When you allow the true enemy to infiltrate your foxhole... do not be surprised when at the height of the battle... you feel mitt's blade enter your back. Being foretold is being forewarned.

“As horrible as Obama is, the GOP-E managed to nominate the one candidate worst-suited to run against him. “

The GOP-E, the MSM and the Obama campaign created Romney as the anti-Obama knowing full well that Romney will lose while the RINO’s down ticket will hold their seats.

The reason for this is twofold. With a Republican congress, Obama will not be able to get much done. And the RINO’s will be able to continue to steal from the American people.

“””But a Romney presidency won’t save us either.”””

I am not so sure I agree with the above quote. I think this conlusion may be a little premature... To me, the jury is still out....

In my opinion, a true leader is what we need now. And this leader should be able to come before the American people, explain what we must do and why we must sacrifice so we can save this country. This true american leader must communicate why we were exceptional before, where and why we went astray and how we can be exceptional again.
It is only then the American people will be able to unite and accept the sacrifice they must make just as others have sacrificed before for them. It may be too late for us to fully benefit from this sacrifice but not too late for our children. Is Romney this leader? I don’t know. But I know one thing..... Obama is not

Yes, because there are no other GOP candidates anymore. He is the only one left standing. He is the nominee because he has amassed the necessary electoral votes.
If we are serious about getting rid of Obama, we must support him enthusiastically.

I bought all of that nonsense in 2008 when I got sucked into voting for McCain.

I don’t vote for liberals anymore.

What BS!!! I am sorry, I just don’t agree with you at all. Obama is the true enemy..... Maybe you also. Romney is an American business man with a track record of success in all his endeavors.

Not yet, but Romney is allowing himself to be defined by Obama’s attack machine and the talk is about Romney, not Obamas failures. And for those who say that Obama’s attacks and expenditures are not working, think about the fact that Obama is even in the polls while the country is being driven into the ground. Also, a close race will be within the “margin of fraud” for the Democrats. This is a war for all the marbles and the Democrats intend to win by any means necessary. The GOP doesn't fight with the same fire in the belly. Romney needs to fight as if his life and the life of the USA depends on it.

You are nothing but a mitt romney campaign hack that is paid to infect this Conservative site. I do not hold mitt’s success in business against him... here is why I despise the pos and why he will NEVER get my vote. Here is your boy... upclose and personal... in his own words and image.

Romney and his mommy love abortion:

with a track record of success in all his endeavors.

Successfully bringing socialized medicine to Massachusetts... successfully installing hyper-liberal justices onto the bench, therein... successfully becoming a major donor to nationwide abortuary Planned Parenthood... etcetera, etcetera, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

You are nothing but a mitt romney campaign hack that is paid to infect this Conservative site.

... and not even an effective (or even entertaining) one, at that. Just another bumbling paid shill, desperately hoping to become Wife Number (Fill-In-the-Blank).

We sure can... it is a long shot but the rules and the means exist to do it... and there are people working on electors now. I am praying for their success.

My biggest FEAR in this election is Mitt Romney making John McCain or the equally boring Joe Lieberman his V.P.
