George Martin has got to be still kicking himself today. Not because of his exceptional Bakersfield Business Conference: I am not aware of any event that compares to what George has been able to create.
I am referring to him getting caught up in the moment and introducing Sarah Palin as "the next president of the United States." Come on!
I always look forward to the Republican love fest that we call a business conference. It is the only time that I hear so much rational thought about how to clean up the mess in our state and federal governments.
We heard from people who have served our nation admirably.
Only one, however, has the experience and ability to be a great president. He has been extremely successful in business, government and nonprofit organizations.
If America is going to stop its current slippery ride to mediocrity, we need to hear "Mitt Romney, the next president of the United States."
Very true.
There will be long faces all over.
Yeah we will all need reminding of death panels of Obamacare/Romneycare...in 2012...
"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

I don’t know a single conservative who will vote for Romney, “I’m pro-abortion, no, I’m pro-life” because I want to run for president. The man who started a health care plan in his state that bombed.
If the media were so sure that Mrs. Palin would easily be defeated, as many here also insist, the media would be using everything in their arsenal to insure she was the Republican nominee.
However, those on FR who are confident that Mrs. Palin has no chance to win in 2012 will continue to ignore that truism.
This guy is a ‘tard
romney don’t think 2012 race will be a discussion over the economy. That tells me everything I need to know about how he doesn’t have a clue about economics. THERES NO WAY the economy will improve with the currency policy. Economy grows by production, not by spending and consumption (which is the consequence of a good economy, not the cause)
Mitt Romney: isn’t he the one who goes into hiding whenever controversy arises?
He didn’t even get Mitt Romneycare’s last name right.
He hasn't got the stuff and can only help reelect Obama IMO.
Mitt who!!!!
