Scott Brown: Romney’s much cooler now than he used to be

HotAir ^ | January 30, 2010 | Allahpundit

[Al B.]

Thus prompting the question: How uncool did he used to be?

"He’s changed, he’s changed. You know, he’s actually — before he was an outsider coming in and he was, you know, kind of, you know, stiff. But he’s actually, like, funny, he’s like — when he was at my events he was cracking jokes, when we were on the bus — I was like, who is this guy? He’s really kind of, I think, settled into his role kind of being the elder statesman of the party and everything he went through as president. It’s kind of, and once again it’s my opinion but he’s really a different guy than I knew when he was here, and I certainly appreciate everything he did for me. And it wasn’t a lot, he was just there as the initial — you know, ‘here’s a check, go get em!’ And that says a lot, you know, when I signed my contract with the team, you know — I worried about, how am I gonna pay for this? And he was one of the first guys that helped me towards that obligation. And I remember those people who took a chance."

How uncool did he used to be?

So uncool that he lost to John McCain in the 2008 Florida Primary.

[GOPsterinMA]

I do not like this alliance at all. It smells like used diapers.

Meg Whitman: Romney handpicked me and "I'm A Huge Fan Of Van Jones"

[ansel12]

He's really kind of, I think, settled into his role kind of being the elder statesman of the party and everything he went through as president.

A lot of us do not remember the Romney, Presidential years fondly, frankly, I don't remember them at all.

[ColdOne]

is it time for a second look at Romney? A Zebra cannot change its stripes.

[Graybeard58]

A lot of us do not remember the Romney, Presidential years fondly, frankly, I don't remember them at all.

It was all in Mitt's mind.

Where’s the BARF alert ?

Geeeez! He sounds like my daughter. I think they must be about the same age. My daughter says "You Know" all the time when she is talking and it drives me nuts. I tell her "Yes I know" and if you would quit saying that you could get to your point much sooner.

[chiller]

It says to me more about Meg Whitman than Romney.

[Graybeard58]

There were people here hyping a presidential ticket with Scott Brown on it, I just hope he’s not as bad as Snowe or Collins.

[Al B.]

LOL...oops, sorry.

[Graybeard58]

You know, I think you are right. You know what I'm sayin'.

[fieldmarshaldj]

We’re about to find out, you know ?

[9YearLurker]

But I’m guessing Hillary’s a few years older than your daughter—and even a few years older than Scott Brown! ;-)

[Spunky]

Hillary is much older.

[ansel12]

Of course it does, but it also reveals what Mitt is up to, Mitt actually bought a house in California to get his liberal protege into the Governor’s office.

Mitt Romney helped the pro abortion Brown, because he did not see him as too conservative for Mitt’s goals for the GOP, which is to make sure that conservatism is defeated, something that has motivated the Romney family for many decades.

For those of us that accept Brown as the Pro abortion Senator for Massachusetts, it is important to not let him contaminate the national party, especially by making Romney less repulsive to uninformed voters.

[sinanju]

My mom and bro’ broke me of the y’know habit years ago by repeating it back to me every time I said it.

It worked.

[Spunky]

:-)

[rfpzzzzz]

Are the anti-Romney posters actually Dems? I love when they go anti- mormon or he said this or that in 1994. He isn’t a candidate for anything as far as I know.

[sodpoodle]

When did this interview take place and who are the participants?

The header is very misleading - and the conversation (as written) appears to be a stream of consciousness between a 4th grader and herself.

Is this meant to represent a Scott Brown interview?
Attribution please!

[ansel12]

We have dealt with your Romney trolling before newby, you ask if the anti-Romney posters are Democrats.

Why don’t you ping the owner of the site and ask him?

[Al B.]

Allahpundit's article linked to a Politico article:

Brown on Romney: 'He's changed'

[yongin]

So Allah Pundit says if Romney plegdes to never sign support another Romney Care again, then cosnervatives should line behind him.

Obama will have a field day high lighting Romney’s flip flops.

Romney was pro-abortion, now pro-life.

Romney was for RomneyCare, now against RomneyCare.

Romney was pro-gay marriage, now anti-gay marriage.

Romney was pro-TARP, now anti-TARP.

Romney was pro-bailout for GM, now anti-GM bailout.

What’s next, Romney becoming a Southern Baptist?

[rfpzzzzz]

I never see you say anything negative about Dems ...only a failed GOP primary candidate who isn’t running for anything.

I think your a Dem.

[ansel12]

You are a Romney/Mormon troll. Did you ever read the threads that I have linked you to, such as these?

If Mitt Romney is in, I'm out! by Jim Robinson

Unlike Romney's "National Council for a New America," Free Republic is a conservative site! by Jim Robinson

[Diogenesis]

That makes you a troll.

[9YearLurker]

If you don’t think he’s a candidate for the White House in ‘12, he’s one pol you’ve no understanding of.

[9YearLurker]

Does that mean his personality has flipped—or has it flopped?

[rfpzzzzz]

Tell me something bad about Dems ... the election is for congress in 2010...Romney helped Brown in his Mass 2010 senate victory election...lighten up..

[rfpzzzzz]

Mormon haters are so mature. Gee, you are very convincing.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Mitt Romney helped the pro abortion Brown, because he did not see him as too conservative for Mitt’s goals for the GOP

Sarah Palin helped the pro abortion Brown, because she ...

[CharlesWayneCT]

You are a Romney/Mormon troll.

I thought it wasn't about being Mormon?

[SoConPubbie]

I never see you say anything negative about Dems ...only a failed GOP primary candidate who isn’t running for anything.

I think your a Dem.

Yea, if Romney isn't running for anything, then I have an Island to sell you for some beads.

LOL!

Only the decietful, willfully ignorant, or just plain stupid will believe that line.

[Oldpuppymax]

Is he also less of a RINO?

[ansel12]

This is a site for conservative activists, influencing who runs in Republican primaries is a fundamental function of the site.

Trying to discourage voting by freerepublic members for particular Democrats is not something that needs a lot of attention here, but keeping liberals out of Republican elections, is definitely one of our goals.

You signed up here to push Romney because he is a Mormon, that is pretty much the definition of trolling.

[9YearLurker]

Pffft.

We learned in ‘08 what happens if we merrily wait for the primaries to play out in backing strong Republicans. We get the likes of McCain, whom the media and the Dems wanted. If we wait again we’ll end up with the likes of whom the media and the Dems want again—Romney.

[ansel12]

Read my post again, that poster is a Romney/Mormon troll, I don’t know what the “it” is that you are interested in.

[streetpreacher]

Howdy troll. What’s your old username?

[ansel12]

Answer your own questions, Mitt Romney helped Brown because he is not too conservative for his agenda.

Mitt Romney helped the pro abortion Brown, because he did not see him as too conservative for Mitt’s goals for the GOP, which is to make sure that conservatism is defeated, something that has motivated the Romney family for many decades.

[AlaskaErik]

Anyone can say what they want, but the bottom line is...there is no way in Hell I will ever vote for Romney. He is a self-serving RINO politician, not a statesman.

[rfpzzzzz]

How old are you? I signed up because I saw people attacking Romney for being a mormon and I think that is punk. If you are trying to influence people against a possible candidate , I think you would do better promoting a candidate you believe in. Hostility should be reserved for the Dems . They are the enemy and will possibly destroy this country if not stopped by a GOP takeover of the House of Reps.

[ansel12]

Do you even know anything about freerepublic or it's purpose? Have you read the threads by the owner that I posted to you?

Can you comprehend why the owner himself would post this thread?

Click on this link, If Mitt Romney is in, I'm out! by Jim Robinson

[CharlesWayneCT]

Actually, I could read what you wrote. I was curious what your answer was to finish my unfinished sentence.

Care to point out (link) or post your evidence of that scurrilous acusation?

FreeRepublic has a search function that works pretty well. You should have no problem finding hundreds of examples of the terrible biased postings of Freepers who are saying that Romney is horrible because he is a Mormon.

Please prove your point or shut-up!

I bet you can't even find 10 postings out of the millions that have been posted about Romney that prove your point.

Furthermore, what you will find, is a ton of objective and factual historical evidence as to why Romney is NOT a conservative and is not to be trusted, not because he is a Mormon, but because of his liberal positions and actions and his continual lying.

Put up or shut up!

[Gene Eric]

>> So uncool that he lost to John McCain in the 2008 Florida Primary.

It was the ‘timetables’, THE TIMETABLES!!!

[SoConPubbie]

Hey Diogenesis,

rfpzzzzz apparently needs some proof of the liberal nature and general perfidy he practices.

Got any proof?

Thanks in advance

[Salvation]

Huh?

Now Romney is cool?

[Peter Horry]

Best I can tell this is something fabricated to link Brown to Romney, show him as inarticulate and give the Anti-Romney Raiders a platform for their Schtick, the banal key words also indicate that.

[ansel12]

You could read my post and you know what I see as the anti conservative agenda of Mitt Romney which was a part of his lifelong and his family’s goals. Palin nor her father, have that goal.
