The base?
The media?
Who is listening to Romney?
Perhaps those moderate elected officials who now anticipate any campaign contributions from the base are gone.
Effective as what? Your last election strategy?
Romney warns threat to shut down government not ‘effective’
Neither was his presidential campaign.
".....The conversations indicate that Cruz is seeking to wield influence not only in the Senate but in the House, where the leadership can afford only 16 defections if it wants to pass legislation without relying on Democrats.
A Boehner spokesman declined to comment."
Yes Mitt....let’s just do what the GOPe appeasers want. Let’s delay it a year. Delay having the full impact of the costs associated with it that will hit Americans personally - in their pocket book....
Let’s just delay it another year and give 12 months to Obama so he can lie some more, bluff some more, and not have to show his cards. Let’s just call the whole damned thing off and give it a time-out....that right Mitt?
Let’s give the GOPe some more time to appease the Democrats and more time to lie to their constituents back home about how “we’re really gonna take the fight to them this time.”
Let’s just give these appeasing dinosaur GOP Congressmen and Senators another year added to their Congressional Pensions...maybe they can hit that point where they just say eff it, I’m gonna retire like Saxby Chambliss.
The truth is Mitt, that when you fight, it is knock-down drag-out, not words, not ‘tactics’, not lies. You obviously aren’t up to the task, nor are the majority of our side in either house. You can all go to h3ll, you lying sacks of coward duck squeeze.
It’s the Democrats, not the Republicans who used the threat of a government shutdown. I listened very carefully to the “debate” Friday and this was the universal Democrat message: “If you defy us, the government will be shut down and we will do everything we can to blame you.”
And was the threat effective? You bet. Weak-kneed Republicans went soft faster than graham crackers in warm milk.
make ALL Fed employees join Obamacare,
Well, since Reid is saying nothing short of just adopting the Senate CR version with full Obamacare funding will prevent a shutdown, Romney’s idea is a non-starter. Boehner is backed into a corner. Either he capitulates and destroys himself and the GOP or he actually stands his ground and starts messaging that Reid and Obama are causing the shutdown. The GOP is terrible at getting their message out. The media is screaming that the GOP will be responsible for the shutdown even though the ultimatums are coming from the Rats. Boehner needs to be in front of the cameras several times, every day, not one fifty word statement with a quick handoff to Cantor.
..first of all, "shutting down the government" was never an GOP option....they said they would fund everything else except Dungocare....it will be Dungo's call. (surprised "The Hill" goes along with the RAT ploy)
Losers....don’t sway.
If anyone thinks otherwise, name any political loser over the past hundred years who was successful.
the house controls the purse strings.
it’s their only power on the other branches
to say they will never follow through is to neuter them
Shut up and go away Mitt.
You had your chance.
Let Ted Cruz and others restore our Republic. Hope he and others form a new political party or join one that already exists: It's called the Constitutional Party.
For you even to say that the Republicans are shutting down the Fedgov shows what a RINO you are for not even fighting against the rhetoric. Just cave as all you RINO's do and don't even bother to explain to the LIV what is in store for them. You RINOs disgust me. I despise you as much as I despise the Democrat socialists.
Myth Romney? Yeah, like I’m gonna be swayed by anything out of his pie hole... Libtard.
Obama is a fraud.
McCain and McConnell et al. are frauds.
John Roberts is a fraud.
Boehner better not be a fraud.
Romney is an arse.
We don't have to put up with frauds (or arses).
Listen to the people or own it, dear leaders.
Another elitist insider telling the little people what is best for them.

A W A Y!
WHO appointed you GOP standard bearer still?
“Capitulation, collaboration, and never taking a principled stand is so much more effective!” - Romney’s probable stance.
Who’s this guy Romney anyways? Obongo care would act like a cancer, quickly spreading throughout America and once it’s established, there is little chance for a “Cure”. We need to strike early (NOW) with preventative measures for any chance of removing this scourge !
There’s always an excuse.
