Mitt and Clone
NO thanks!
So, ol' Willard is dropping the social-conservative shtick in order to try out a new, fiscal-conservative message, eh? Good luck with that, Mr. RomneyCare!
Two words: Steve Forbes. He tried the "new and improved" makeover thing back in ... I think it must have been 2000, after a poor showing in '96. All of a sudden, four years after Mr. Flat Tax couldn't bring himself to say anything remotely substantive about it, he came back to Ioway with the intention of impressing the socks off all us (seemingly) single-issue, right-wing activist rubes with a new, "I'm pro-life!" message. And guess what? He even found a couple high-profile pro-life endorsements. In the end, it was just another poor showing for Mr. Flat Tax v2.0, and a giant loss of credibility for those who endorsed him. (Go figure.)
Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, you (the candidate) get ONE chance to show me the real you. So, you better drop all pretenses because I'm not the least bit interested in how your handlers decide to repackage your image if the original falls flat. If your alleged "change" is a genuine, personal, life-changing epiphany, I'll listen.
But, short of that, like the song says, "Don't go changing to try and please me."
Reminds me of the old SNL skit with Nixon plotting his political comeback, and coming up with is slogan:
“’The New Dick’ - It’s short and sweet, and everyone wants to see it.”
To which Pat replied, “It’s short and sweet, but nobody wants to see it.”
I don’t support socialists. Romney is a socialist. Case closed.
Mitt and Clone
NO thanks!
Mitt “pro-TARP, pro-bailout, pro-government health care, ‘I love mandates’” Romney is no more convincing as a small government/fiscal conservative than he was as a social conservative.
What a pathetic fraud.
For those that care about Sarah Palin or any true conservative having a fair shot at the 2012 nomination and the voters having a real choice, YOU MUST READ THIS ARTICLE. MITT ROMNEY IS TRYING TO STEAL IT RIGHT NOW IN 2010.
FTA the last page: “But he’s got all the machinery moving behind the scenes.
For instance, though Kaufmann doesn’t acknowledge it, people familiar with the ongoing process say that he is acting as Romney’s point man to steer the RNC toward the same single-window primary schedule as existed in 2008. (A special GOP committee will present a plan for the 2012 primaries to the RNC this summer. The plan will maintain the four “pre-window” states, but some in the party are hoping to create some kind of staggered window to prevent a Super-Duper Tuesday scenario.)
And Romney has invested heavily in maintaining his national network, spending nearly $3 million last year out of his national Free and Strong America PAC and his five state-level PACs, which he set up as far back as 2004. Most of that has been spent to keep his core people and consultants on the payroll. Many others from the campaign have been “taken care of” with jobs working for supportive pols and business leaders, who function as “extensions of Romney Inc.,” as one Republican consultant puts it. “It’s easy to keep people around and interested if you’ve got money to spread around,” he adds.”
THE ARTICLE glibly explains that Romney has 6 PACS he’s using to keep hundreds on his payroll. It’s unbelievable. Plus every week there’s a hit at Palin by these Romney supporters in the media. Is this who the hell we want? This weakling is too insecure to run on his own ideas and record, he has to pay henchmen/women to continue to attack Palin. Romney, Inc. has attacked Palin a hundred to one vs. the times they’ve attacked barry o.
If you like Rino’s who stab you in the back by all means vote for Mitt. He will not be in office for more than 3 months before he raises taxes, mandates Rommneycare for all of america, gives his crony buddies plush jobs in the power structure of DC.
And I can't wait till the MSM links him with wall street for all America to see AFTER he wins the nomination so that Obama can win the election
