It didn't take the Rino long to abandon conservatism after his opposition dropped out of the race

This is shaping up to be 2008 all over again. The lesser of 2 evils. The sad part is if we had a conservative (not Newt) who can make the case and who’s quick enough to counter all the mud that AxelGrease and the DNC will throw at him, he’d be walking away with it.

Keynes' theories remain the essential guide to understanding recessions.

As long as the powers that be believe this we are doomed. Keynesian 'solutions' have never been applied more enthusiastically than by FDR and Obama. They have resulted in the two worst economic records in the nation's history.

The 2012 GOP platform for conservatives: close your eyes, hold your nose, plug your ears, shut your mouth, and turn off your brain.

No, they don't.

When you read what Romney actually said in this article, it does not justify the headline. Romney was talking about the rate of deficit reduction. He said that 1 trillion reduction would be too much in a recession. He is probably correct about this.

Romney is not endorsing Keynesian economics here. This is a hit job designed to discourage conservatives (who do not read what he said).

Some of us have seen through Mutt from the beginning. No significant economic change of the type we need will happen in a Romney presidency.

The lesser of two evils is still evil.

Government spending is false GDP.Real GDP comes only from the private sector.

Just so everyone knows-- Romney didn't say this. The author did.

Actually he said the same way back in the debates.

Romney’s been bad news in plain sight all along.

Sigh.

Well because, if you take a trillion dollars for instance, out of the first year of the federal budget, that would shrink GDP over 5%. That is by definition throwing us into recession or depression. So I’m not going to do that, of course.

The 5% decrease in GDP would only be for the first year, GDP would grow after that based on the real baseline. No balls, Romney is a joke.

It would seem that the OP was so desperate to find something he thought would make Romney look bad, he posted this article without the slightest clue as to what was being said.

Gov. Romney is 100% correct and proves that he truly understand economics.

A balanced approach to paying off the deficit is exactly what's needed. We need to keep as much money in the private sector as we can. Then pay off the deficit with the surplus created from growth.

He's got my vote!

I know that conservatives of good faith will disagree, but electing Myth would be a bigger disaster than Zer0.

Imagine 80% of Zer0’s policies... spending, gutting the military, amnesty... sailing through Congress because Myth proposed it.

The Blubbery Boehnner and McConnell won’t fight it. Myth is the head of their party.

The Dims won’t fight it. IT’S WHAT THEY WANT.

Just watch as Myth Etch-A-Sketches his way up to the election, then amplify. Zer0-Lite, with the power to persuade the only thing that has been holding Zer0 back — the GOP Congress.

Seriously, this scares the crap out of me.

Obama is tacking to the right, trying campaign as a conservative. The Liberal media is at work again, influencing all the simple minded folk out there.

Some Obama loons on FR are lapping up everything their media dogs spit at them.
