Breitbart ^

Failed GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney lamented that the demise of traditional media is empowering Republican “insurgents” and preventing establishment Republicans from compromising more with Democrats.

As the Republican establishment is trying convince Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) 58% to run for House Speaker, Romney told David Axelrod on a recent “The Axe Files” podcast that the “extremes within our respective parties are having a louder and louder voice and demanding more attention” and “immediate action” as opposed to more “collaborative action.”

It’s one thing to “compromise” on how large the tax cut is gonna be with democrats..

Its another to ask the democrats what they want and give it to them.. The way the GPOe does it.

Reality has become self-parodying satire!

God forbid that the media no longer can dictate the narrative! Now the narrative carries on and the media *gasp* must report on it!!!

lol

I would LOVE the left to “collaborate” with us to:

repeal Obamacare.
impeach at least 5 liberal supreme court judges
impeach Obama
deport 20 million illegals and their spawn

But for some reason the left only wants to collaborate when that involves us doing what THEY want.

This loathsome, synthetic homunculus never fails to make its opponents’ case for them.

And before his credulous lackeys ask, NO! I do not ‘miss him’ yet.

Mitt choked; he choked like a dog. He gave us Obama for a second term. He needs to shut up and go away.

You and your GOPe buddies are on your way out.

Gee, you'd think a rich, "severly conservative" guy like Romney could afford to buy a clue.

Mitt RomneyCARE (D, Shapeshifter): "I'm not running as the Republican view or a continuation of Republican values.
That's not what brings me to the race.

(Backstabber Romney Video, accessed 9/19/07)



"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
 over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
 to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn't make any sense at all.""

--  President Ronald Reagan




Romney (Carpetbagger shapeshifter, D, RINO):
"I'm very clear I think, to the people across the Commonwealth
my "R" didn't stand so much for Republican as it does for reform.
"
(Flip-flop chameleon artiste and Mitt RomneyCARE
Video, accessed 9/19/07)



"A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
 which must not be compromised to political expediency
or simply to swell its numbers."

--  President Ronald Reagan

Longing for the good ol’ days when the uniparty had a complete monopoly on news, as opposed to an almost complete monopoly on news.
