And the Un-Masking of Mitt Romney, the lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal, continues . . . "If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

The myth of Romney is that he is electable. It is right up there with the myth he is a conservative.

He is neither.

Wow. You have more removed comments on the thread than comments. You must be over the target, you are catching some flack.

The REALITY of Romney is a majority of voters chose him in the primary process.

Romney lost the nomination last time to McCain, so why is he the nominee this time?

He is a proven loser.

He generates no excitement. No one will want to work hard for him. We know he has taken opposite positions on crucial issues just a few years ago.

He would certainly do a better job managing the nation that Obama, but we worry he will ever get the chance as the author above argues.

I was at our county GOP convention yesterday and someone asked if I wanted a Romney sticker for my shirt. I declined. The most passionate delegates were the Ron Paul gang. They are still kicking even though he has no chance.

What a weird year to elect a president. Obama is a disaster and we have a dweeb at the head of the ticket.

Good post. I have rarely been more discouraged than with this election, and I suspect it will be the first one in which I will not vote for anyone at the top of the ticket. We had this guy rammed down our throats by the RNC and the “pundits,” although I honestly don’t know why, unless they’re secretly in the pay of Obama.

Romney is unlikeable, ignorant, arrogant, a self-obsessed preener with a Mormon messiah complex, and has a track record that ranges from embarrassingly unscrupulous capitalist in his private business to terrifyingly big government, nanny-state in his brief government career.

The thing that has really disturbed me most, however, is that the one who got closest to him (Santorum) was virtually identical in his big-government, nanny state orientation, differing only in proclaiming some popular social conservative positions and not being a Mormon.

To me, this means the American voter - of either party - is actually just fine with the loss of freedoms, the swollen monster of a government, and the crushing of the individual will and decision making power by the nanny state.

Where did we go wrong?

Remember when you were in high school?

Mitt was that pampered rich guy from the prep school up on the hill who used to drive by your public school during the noon hour with his preppie girlfriend in his new Caddie, both sneering at the commoners.

He's STILL doing it.

But Romney’s got what voters crave... He’s got electbility
