Romney really, really, wanted to serve, but alas, he was forced to live in France during the period when his draft status was a little hot, and the rest of the time he just had other things that kept him from enlisting, but in spirit he was very butch.

“I longed in many respects to actually be in Vietnam and be representing our country there and in some ways it was frustrating not to feel like I was there as part of the troops that were fighting in Vietnam.”
Boston Globe, 6/24/07

Yes!! Well put , my friend. He is a RINO. Purge the party of the RINO or we will purge ourselves out of the party.

I assume the “genuine war hero” referred to is none other than John “Fraud” Kerry, who bugged out after falsely grabbing a slew of medals to go on and throw all Viet Nam Veterans under the bus?

This is one additional reason that I would like to see Palin win the Republican primary. If she wins then we will be done with the 2008 retreads. If Mitt and Huck lose to her I think they will finally go away with their tails between their legs. I also think Palin would have momentum after winning the republican primary, so I think she could upset Obama.

Actually, if you remember The Village People, it’s not a bad fit.

Mitt Romney is just not what we need. He’s not a terrible person. He is intelligent and a good manager. He knows how to turn a business around and make it work, make money. He should continue to do that useful work.

We, however, need a Constitutional warrior. A blood and guts fighter for this country. He just isn’t that...at all.

That’s a term I’ve never heard affixed to the effete Liberal.

A Tale of two men. Romney vs Brown. Both may be more liberal then I like, but only one is believeable in the “macho” role. Hint: It isn’t a former Governor with the perfectly coiffed hair K-LO admires.

The financial meltdown was not merely the fault of Democrats and poor people, but was also due to an “absence of dynamic regulation,”

something that a govt bureaucracy is simply incapable of.

“Climate change is occurring,” and is caused at least in part by human activity. “Global warming is a real and present danger.”

- The 2008 TARP bank bailout was necessary and “did in fact keep our economy from total meltdown.”

Sounds like he should be going for the Democrat nomination.

Is that a Hover Dog? Kind of the forerunner to the Back to the Future 2 hoverboard? Look at him on that thing!

I think *everyone* who ran in 2008 will be a disaster if they run again... including McCain and his choice for VP. First things first: McCain has to lose the Arizona primary.
