Romney Touts Ability to Find Common Ground With Democrats
Michelle Malkin ^ | 6/28/2011 | Doug Powers

Posted on 06/28/2011 1:11:58 PM PDT by Lakeshark

As Democratic and Republican leaders in Washington struggled to find agreement on spending cuts and extending the debt limit, Mitt Romney struck a conciliatory note in New Hampshire on Monday by lamenting partisan feuding while touting his record of working with Democrats — even the Senate’s onetime liberal lion Edward M. Kennedy. [...]

At both stops, Romney pointed to the warmth between former President Reagan and former Democratic House Speaker Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill as an example of what is needed in the Capitol.

“I worked with [former Massachusetts Sen.] Ted Kennedy, for Pete’s sakes,” Romney said in Concord, noting that they disagreed on “almost everything.”

"I’m hoping there are way more Tea Party “get out and vote” members than there are RINO lovers. "

Maybe not...Not if you happen to be in a state with "open" primaries. The demoncrats are "RINO lovers" and that is, in part, how we ended up with McMill-Stone-Around-Our-Necks in the last election.

Common ground? How about No Man’s Land.

We come not to compromise with the Rats but to bury them.

Crush the Rats.

See them driven before us.

Hear the lamentation of their girlie men.

Screw ‘em. The time for compromise is over.

And that's why I will not vote for the creep if he becomes the Republican nominee in 2012.

I’m certain he does share common ground with them. I know he will be with them in hell someday.

I don’t want to make nice with the dems....I want them removed from the halls of government....never to return.

“Romney reminds us so much of McCain.”

McCain sucks, but I wouldn’t insult him by comparing Romney to him.

This doesn’t surprise me. His views aren’t hugely different from the DemocRATS.

Yes, Mitt, we know you can find common ground with the Democrats. That's the problem

You can find common ground on abortion, gun control, raising taxes, ObamneyCare, Big Government, regulations, etc., etc., and etc.

I don’t want to elect anyone that is looking for common ground, reaching across the aisle, or just wants to get along with the Democrats.

We have had entirely too much of that in the past several years. I want to elect someone that will stand up for conservative issues, and be willing to fight for them. If there happens to be common ground on some obscure issue I haven’t thought of then ok, but don’t look for it.

The Republicans have been so concerned with getting along they won’t stand up to the dems so the dems walk all over them. I notice when the dems are in power they don’t look for common ground they just steam roll over everyone to do what they want.

It is time to take back our country, we need leadership that understands that and is willing to lead the battle. It will be a battle, no way around is as determined as the liberals are to destry it.

I'll never forget McCain promising to go after the corrupt in Congress by NAME. At a rally/townhall, a man demanded that McCain name names. He tried to weasel out, the man hung on to the microphone and demanded names. McCain may have come up with one name and that was the last we ever heard about naming names.

McCain - weasel

Mitt - squish

Pawlenty - weak

So, when you're an elected official in the GOP, do you have turn your testicles over in a lock box? What is it with the cowardice of the GOP.

No, thank you Mitt.

Where have you been the last 25 years man?

No more common ground with socialists.

There is no more road Mitt. The can must stop here, and no democrat thinks so.

Next candidate.

They make no attempt to hide any more, their agenda is clear to anyone with more than two brain cells. Our elected Republicans can not possibly be too stupid to know where this is going, which leaves little room for doubt as to their true agenda.

Romney touts ability to find common ground with Bigfoot, Santa Claus, Easter bunny, and Dodo birds.

Unfortunately, There are no democrats left. All you have are Communists, Statists, Progressives, Socialists and a whole bunch of just plain Kooks.
