What a great day in America.
Not only has the Republican party just scored a breathtakingly important victory - while inspiring patriotic Americans everywhere.
Another important thing happened today:
Have just become ... Brownies. :)
Romney is trying to take credit for this. lol.
The man who gave them GovCare is trying to take credit for a movement basically standing against its clone.
It’s a beginning.
There is considerable evidence that Romney was part of this victory.
There is also going to be a consensus in the next election cycle that we need someone who can actually run an office, who can turn chaos around, with a proven record of downsizing a company.
I’m not a Romney voter... never have voted for him... but just saying, I’m not counting him out.
Let’s concentrate on getting rid of the Barney Franks, the Harry Rieds and all the other socialist demagogues.
Let’s also support Michael Steele and Mitt Romney when they are right and when they are wrong we should persuade them to live up to our expectations with civilized discourse.
This is no time to chuck our friends under the bus. There is power in numbers.
I’m thinking back, to all the times Romney supporters were asking us to all work together.
Thinking...
Nope. Can’t remember any.
Romney gained a little stature tonight. He encouraged and supported Brown early on and several from his campaign staff worked with Brown’s campaign. Had a very positive interview on Fox tonight.
It’s not like Romney stuck his finger to the wind last week and decided to jump in with support. Romney supported Brown — real suppport w/ fund raisers — last Fall, which is a lot more than any other GOP Presidential wannabee did. If you don’t care for Romney fine, but give him his due here b/c he did a lot to make Brown a viable candidate ($$).
If we support Romney, we will continue to have a party of RINO’s. The MSM will pick a RINO candidate for the Republicans, again, and we will get stuck with a Leftist Dem, again.
If he wants to work the fundraising circuit, fine, but to ever accept him being a spokesman of the conservative movement and reshaping of the Republican Party would be a big mistake.
Mitt should get back into the private sector and use his magic underwear powers to make money and just stay the hell out of the picture.
Have been watching, rapt to Scott Brown’s acceptance speech.
He’s a complete, total natural. Better than anyone I’ve seen in the GOP. Perhaps even as good as Palin.
Can we please introduce the two of them?
He’s supurb. Electrifying. I will give Mitt the same credit I give McCain.
McCain selected Palin. Mitt backed Brown.
They did good. Both of them. It is the protege’s however who are the new powerhouses.
Mitt and McCain need to stand back and let them shine.
It’s far too early to be counting anyone in or out. No one knows if Sarah will run in 2012. And now John Thune and Rick Santorum are making noises about entering the primaries.
How conservative the Congress becomes in 2010 and 2012 will determine what the president can or can’t do in 2010, 2012 and beyond. Many voters in 2008 who considered themselves to be conservatives voted for Romney. Everyone doesn’t consider him to be a RINO, but someone who had to navigate the political waters of the nation’s most liberal state to win anything at all.
Voters will decide about Romney and the others in 2011 and 2012 during the campaigns, debates and primary votes. That will mostly depend on the platforms they run on then, and how well they do in the campaign and debates.
And Brown did give his good friend Mitt a special thanks tonight in his victory speech.
Actually, now is when we start shaping our options for the upcoming presidential election.
Priority number one is to eliminate Mitt Romney.
Mitt Romney: "I'm not a partisan politician. My hope is that, after this election, it will be the moderates of both parties who will control the Senate, not the Jesse Helmses."
Romney won one election during 18 years of campaigning, he governed, the people saw his abilities and they decided that reelection was not a possibility, he sucked.
Governor Mitt Romney Massachusetts Approval Numbers
Meg Whitman: Romney handpicked me and "I'm A Huge Fan Of Van Jones"
Calling Romney a "conservative" is like calling
an ant a "scholar", or an attacking shark a "friend".
It is fascinating watching the DU and DNC push Romney here.
Priority #1 for how many voters?
