“I also think its important for us to nod to the president when he’s right,” Romney said.

Watch it Mitt, you might get whiplash.

Huh? This “president” HAS to fail or this will be a non-military coup of the United States of America. What the flying hell is he talking about.

Reasons to dislike Mitt:

- Massachusetts socialized healthcare
- His identical stance to 0bama on firing Wagonner from GM and the White House takeover of GM.
- His super-slick hairdo (any man that into his hair can’t be good)

None of which have anything to do with him being a Mormon, but they just keep on telling us that’s what our problem is.

Well, Mitt, I’m not. But the man seems intent on doing it anyway.

So it looks like I’ll have to get use to the idea of being force fed another 3+ years of Romney.

Sorry Romney, I want everything about Obama to fail, everything. So far, Obama is giving me my wish with each passing day.

For America to survive, Obama must fail.

I know that a lot of people like Romney, but honestly, everytime I saw him on TV, I thought, “I wouldn’t buy a car from him.”

He should have said, “It’s neccessary and good to pray for the president.”

So far, he HASN’T been right about alot IMO. He’s being too much of a politician here. And I want to hear leaders RAILING about the power grabs and the ever-increasing size of goverment.

And I’ve really no patience left with politicians...and “career politician” is a contradiction in terms.

Big government is like fruit cake. People feel obliged to have it for some reason, but not many people really LIKE it, including those who make it.

Collectivists/con-men/progressives/socialists are failures by their very nature, so it’s not necessary to root for them to get there. It is only natural to attempt to keep the parasites out of our lives, for they are the ROOT cause of every hardship ever inflicted on man by man. Buy a clue Mitt (you were my 3rd choice but I’ll re-examine my thinking after hearing more nonsense from you).

>> go read the whole thing.

‘kay, I read “the whole thing”.

It’s a giant Bambi suckup. The headline and excerpts were NOT wrong in their representation of Romney fellating Bambi.

You point...??

"This SOB will not be the candidate."

If he is, I'll definitely not be voting in 2012. I broke down and voted for McCain, only because of Palin. I won't be cajoled into voting for a RINO ever again.

I actually liked Romney (past tense) because of his business experiences. No doubt he would be better than McCain OR Obama in that area , But, the more he talks now the more I've written him off as just a little league politician like all the rest. He's turned into a better looking McCain. Now all we need is for his daughter to start mouthing off about Conservatives. (like you know who)

I dislike Mitt because he’s a Mormon. I’d only vote for a proper Christian.

Indeed!

“After offering a few choice words for Obama’s early conduct in office, Romney suggested it’s OK to hope things go well under the new president.

“I also think its important for us to nod to the president when he’s right,” Romney said. “He will not always be wrong.”

Romney praised Obama for not pulling troops from Iraq haphazardly and for going after terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He also said Obama has been good at talking tough to the struggling auto industry.

Romney then offered some backhanded encouragement for Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, upon whom some Republicans have called to resign.”

I can’t say I disagree with much of what he said.

I want and socialistic policy of Obama to fail soon, because it will certainly fail later.

Is that acceptable, Mitt?

I want the slavery of socialism to be spared my children and grandchildren. Do we really desire a dark ages of freedom from which some Moses must lead the people centuries from now?

Perhaps they would then appreciate freedom for a time, but would I really want it to happen in the first place?

Mitt must move to the right, and this is a move to the center-left.
