Actually, if you want to draw comparisons to ‘08, Romney has become McCain and Gingrich has become Romney. It’s Mitt’s turn to be the next in line and Newt is trying to position himself as the conservative alternative.
Tell me, Mike, how do you propose to defeat the open socialist Willard Romney? Which other candidate is consistently within striking distance?
Romney has enough baggage to fill a passenger jet. He’s taken every position imaginable and, to this day, cannot speak without talking out of both sides of his mouth. The media will draw endless comparisons between Romneycare and Obamacare to paint him as a hypocrite, and Obama will proudly proclaim that Romneycare was his inspiration. Then there’s the matter of John Holdren, Obama’s maniacal science czar who used to work with Romney on environmental policy.
But above all else, the real problem with Romney’s candidacy is that he’s incapable of taking liberals to task because he’s afraid he’ll muss up his perfectly manicured hand. He’s a political featherweight in the very image of John McCain.
Isn’t Odd that Beck recently had Newt on the radio for a “Gotcha” interview, but Beck has not had Romney on the radio for a similar “Gotcha” interview. It appears that Romney was Beck’s choice all along.
Newt’s is on record praising FDR. If you ignore his personal baggage, he is still a big government progressive, and no better than Romney.
At least Perry is talking about cleaning up D.C.
Bachman and Santorum look like the only true conservatives left, but the field looks pretty weak to me.
I can’t get on the “Anyone but Obama” bandwagon, and I agree with you that socialism must be defeated.
We should choose the BEST candidate, not whatever progressive insider the GOP chooses for us.
