Romney plays surrogate

Mitt Romney made the rounds of the morning cable news shows today, declining again to address vice presidential speculation but aggressively pumping up the man who would pick him -- John McCain.

[ConservativeMan55]

Some GREAT zingers from Mitt!

"Romney called Obama "both ways Barack" for softening his opposition to more offshore oil drilling. And he said Obama is "like an Internet date" -- appealing on the surface, but someone who will lose support once Americans get to know him better because he does not have the experience or judgment to be president."

[ConservativeMan55]

Pick Mitt!



Mitt Romney ping!

If you'd like to be on or off this ping list Freepmail me!

[ConservativeMan55]

This is the kind of bulldog attacker that McCain needs!

[KoRn]

If McCain is determined to pick a liberal for VP, I’d rather see him choose Lieberman instead of Romney.

[ConservativeMan55]

Check out these latest polls.


Mitt is helping A LOT

Obama stumbles, McCain surges in poll (McCain leads in new Zogby poll)

Another bad polling day for Obama(Denver, we have a problem)

New survey says Obama lead in Massachusetts falls to just 9 points

SurveyUSA FLORIDA PRESIDENTIAL POLL (8/4/08)(MCCAIN AHEAD BY 6 POINTS!!!!)

[Tennessee Nana]

This is the kind of bulldog attacker

Oh, “both ways” Mitt is a dog, alright...

"If McCain is determined to pick a liberal for VP, I’d rather see him choose Lieberman instead of Romney."

That gets the "Most Moronic Comment of the Week" award.

[ConservativeMan55]

Are you attacking him for criticizing Obama?

[KoRn]

" That gets the "Most Moronic Comment of the Week" award."

At least it's Monday ;^)

[fieldmarshaldj]

Slick Willard saved the Olympics from Mothra !

[libbylu]

the nana hates Mitt. If I remember right it is because he is Mormon. I quit reading her posts long ago.

[fieldmarshaldj]

"If McCain is determined to pick a liberal for VP, I’d rather see him choose Lieberman instead of Romney."

Quite so. At least Joe is HONEST about being a liberal, unlike Slick Willard.

[John Valentine]

I can’t stand the idea of having someone else wearing the “Most Moronic” crown, so I have to offer this in an attempt to wrest it back to the proper head - mine.

Here it is: the Moronic Dream Ticket- “McCain-Gore”

Now may I have my crown back?

[fieldmarshaldj]

She doesn’t hate Slick Willard. She recognizes him to be the flipflopping liberal fraud and dreadful ex-Governor that he is. :-)

[ConservativeMan55]

Some people are just afraid of other religions.

[montag813]

If Mitt is anything, it is loyal. I admire that, even though I think a Mormon might hurt McCain (weaken the Obama Muslim issue).

[fieldmarshaldj]

While others are merely afraid of the truth. :-)

[fieldmarshaldj]

Loyal to whom ? He’s only loyal to himself when it’s about advancing his power trip. Everybody else is expendable.

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

[ConservativeMan55]

Mitt stepped aside during the primaries.

He put his country before any personal ambition.

[Tennessee Nana]

Someone told me today that Romney has saved “all those Olympics”

I asked, “how many ??? Which ones ???”

I was told “Well, I’m not sure which they were, but there was quite a few”

ROFLMBO

[Tennessee Nana]

What do you think of Governor Huckabee ????

[ConservativeMan55]

Damn Mike Huckabee...

[Tennessee Nana]

I’ve always liked Joe Lieberman...

McCain needs to choice someone young though...

Obama is only in his 40s..

Old rich white guys wont win ...

[Tennessee Nana]

And the same to Mitt Romney

[redangus]

No she is just attacking him because he’s Mitt.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Pure unadulterated *omney.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Slick Willard saved the 1936 Berlin Olympics !

ConservativeMan55 told me so !

[no dems]

That’s why I’m liking Congressman Eric Cantor of VA more and more with each passing day. Younger than Obama (45 y.o.), Jewish, a Virginian and very, very, very intelligent and CONSERVATIVE!

Dear Friend,

Last Friday, the United States House of Representatives, under Democrat Leadership, adjourned for a 5-week vacation. Normally, no one would raise an eyebrow; however, when the Democrats left, they did so without passing any form of energy legislation. They have left for over a month without doing anything to help lower gas prices. That means we’ll see another month of inaction on the energy crisis.

The Democrats left, they turned off the lights, they turned off the cameras and they turned off the microphones. But, House Republicans did not leave. That’s right, House Republicans are still here, talking to the American people, demanding that House Democrats come back and ease the increasing burdens on families. Republicans are fighting so that the American people are not left high and dry.

Now, we need your help. Join us by signing this petition to call on the Democrat Leadership to return to Washington, DC, to pass a bill that will increase American energy supply, open up offshore drilling and eliminate our reliance on foreign oil.

This is supposed to be the People’s House. It’s unfortunate that the Democrats don’t see it that way.

Sign the Petition at www.CallCongressBack.com today.

Regards,

Eric Cantor
United States Congressman

P.S. Sign the petition to Call Congress Back to lower the price of gas.

Because.....?

Open-borders for Jesus Mike Huckabee?

What do you think of Governor Huckabee ????

Compassionate Conservative, Big Government Solutions Huckabee?

Jewish? Sorry. Only evangelical Christians need apply.

[SolidWood]

I’ve always liked Joe Lieberman... McCain needs to choice someone young though... Eric Cantor. All the positives of Lieberman, none of the negatives. A young (45 years), dynamic, 100% conservative, Orthodox Jew.

[SolidWood]

Jewish? Sorry. Only evangelical Christians need apply.

I hope you are joking. Maybe I'm a bit dazed but I take this as a jibe against those alleged "Mormon haters", right?

Novak: Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign

Said Novak: The rumors were "traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson."

[Diogenesis]

"So why is Romney running?
He (Romney) has contempt for the public he claims he wants to serve.
Does he think no one noticed that he pledged not to run against a sitting governor and then elbowed Jane Swift to the sidelines?
Does he think no one remembers that he promised to let voters pick his running mate and then pushed Patrick Guerriero out of the race to make room for the underwhelming and underqualified Healey?
Does he think voters weren’t insulted when he answered a challenge from O’Brien to agree to more debates by saying:
"It’s very, very important that all of our citizens get a good night’s sleep,
and if we have to have them watching these debates, they’re just going to get bored to tears and they’re not going to get a good night’s sleep."
"He (Romney) shows little respect for the work of government.
... "It’s not entirely clear why Romney, who ran for the US Senate in 1994,
lusts after something — a career in government — which he so clearly loathes.
Is it power-mongering? Ambition? Ego-tripping?
Who knows. But it’s something Romney should work out in therapy on his own time and his own dime. "

[Diogenesis]

"The five states with least favorable business climates are Califorinia (lowest ranking), New York, Michigan, New Jersey and Massachusetts."

Romney was rated a "C" overall by Cato.

As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal.
[Cato Institute annual Fiscal Policy Report Card - America's Governors, 2004.]

Oh yeah. Let's let Myth Romney ruin America like he did Massachusetts. [/s]

[fieldmarshaldj]

I remember those “rumors.” There’s is no bottom to the level of sleaze the Slick Willard campaign will stoop to.

[rodeo-mamma]

Yes I know, I always liked the way Romney has a sense of humor and strength when pointing out the faults of his opponents positions. He does it with strength and in a way that does not demean himself. He is a man of character only real men can do what Romney does. That is why his detractors are so off base, they are not seeing the truth clearly because if they did they would see that trait about Romney and apprecicate it. And if McCain picks Romney it will make McCain’s likeability factor go way high. It is already rising. McCain has a reputation for holding a grudge against Bush, true or not, picking Romney would shed a different light on McCain. I am starting to appreciate McCain, and if he picked Romney he would have my full enthusiastic support. I will vote for McCain anyways, it would just be nice for McCain to pick Romney, it would be a very good decision.

“Old rich white guys wont win ...”

That description didn’t hurt Reagan or Bush the Elder — or Ike, for that matter.

[rodeo-mamma]

It’s so sad that you can just can make a statement and some will believe it just because they saw it in writing. I hope people look at Romney and how he conducts himself and how he has lived his life and not your paint brush. I hope people are smarter then that. Because if they aren’t it would be real easy for the opposition to taint our pool of potential good leaders. They already have destroyed potential good leaders and falsely promoted weak candidates. People need to wake up. I am tired of the Bob Doles of this world. I like the Romney types, people with some force behind what they say people who aren’t afraid of their own shadows. By the way, people who can just talk it aren’t good enough. The congress if full of blow-hards who can talk it but who can’t make a damn thing happen. I like leaders with ideas who can make it happen. People who can talk it but who can’t make it happen only empower people like Nancy and Hillary. If that’s good enough for you then so be it.

I think Governor Huckabee is a hateful vengeful fake Christian. He is probably a friend of the Clintons. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Look at his kids, they are a disgrace. I know single mothers who did a better job of raising sons who are real men. Huckabee’s kid is a punk. The fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree. You want to know what someone thinks of Huckabee, I just told you.
