Bears repeating...every time one of these Romney worshiping threads shows up on FR
I was one of those who did not like Romney from the start and even after the primaries I tried to hold my tongue and bash Obama but I never actually supported Romney.
I don't disagree with that at all. Please note that I'm not suggesting that Mitt was any sort of conservative. Just simply pointing out that RomneyCare != ObamaCare.
I've often wondered why some politicians use the “wet finger to the wind approach” to make political decisions AFTER they get elected by stating THEIR ideals and principles!.....Do they do it just to stay elected?...it sure seems that way...the job becomes more important then the mission
My answer...(which i stole from a FReeper yrs ago)
The difference between a liberal and a Conservative is:
A conservative bases his politics on his principles/morals
A liberal bases his principles/morals on his politics
RomneyCare was WORSE than ObamaCare. It was implemented by a (so-called) REPUBLICAN. Gave cover for Obama. “Look, if the Republicans can do it, so can we.”
Romney was a big loser from the start. Still is.
Hey, ILLOGICAL you, what exactly would you have gotten if Romney had won? Because whether you intended to or not, you would have been ASKING FOR and RECIEVING from the defacto head of the Republican party, nationalized health care, govt-funded on-demand abortion, pro environmental tyranny over energy and food production, and punishment for Americans who dared to act peacefully and civilly to reject open homosexuals in their mililtary, at their kids' schools and youth groups, and as prospective "parents" at adoption agencies. THAT IS WHAT YOU WERE ASKING FOR in your vote for Romney.
Talk about "immature foolish childlike thinking" -- the fact that Romney was registered as a Republican made asking for that somehow okay??? And you actually condemn Democrats for voting for the same in a different guy holding the same philosophical positions.
When it comes to Romney, your screen name is an oxymoron.
Perhaps Romney failed to explain to the public that RomneyCare was a state-level program that would be a poor model for a federal program.
There are plenty of things that are appropriate to do at a town/city, county, or state level that are inappropriate for the federal government to do, and vice-versa. This is what he should have stressed.
big bump
100%
too bad we had such a horrible candidate
I doubt the GOP itself spent ANY time on Fluke or condoms
That perception was and remains your mistake. It's not about Obama, it's not about Romney, and it's not about loathing individual politicians.
It's about REJECTING any and all candidates who seek to increase government tyranny.
START VOTING THAT WAY. Please.
Wow.
Do you still have your Socialist Workers Party card to go with that argument?
I agree Jim that this was a social liberal in MANY ways.
Did not like him as a candidate at all, but when selected as our (r) compared to Obama I hoped he would win so at least he could try and stop Obama-care and use his business sense to reverse government growth and private sector losses.
I think though that the Republican party at this point have given up being for most the opposition party. There has been zero spine seen there since Reagan.
IMO there is no more reason to support the (R)s unless they host a Cruz or Sarah candidate (without trying to sabotage them at the same time).
Romney lost most practicing people of faith who don’t believe gays deserve their own extra rights. That was one of the major problems of Romney as the candidate.
We get people like Romney now IMO more because (R)s believe they are only allowed to exist if (D)s and the press let them. At least that is the way they seem to act.
On a personal note Jim, I think you are awesome. I’ve always admired you for all you’ve accomplished and I thank you for your post to me.
Romney encouraged Obama to do a national version of RomneyCare
LOLOL!!! Excellent point!!! {^)
bump
better fragged on the battlefield than in your own tent by “your side”
Wrong. Demographics are pretense.
Morality is destiny. Morality is ultimately why Romney lost.
And you know this because? Seems to me that Romney came out against all of those things during the campaign.
Yeah, I of course opposed much of his social side.
I didn't like Bush on his immigration amnesty plans either.
I don't consider either Bush or Romney evil, but I don't agree with them on a whole bunch of stuff either.
I do agree with you in every way from the stand point that promoting gay anything in this nation is doing harm, as did promoting blanket amnesty and government growth for power.
