Romney makes midcourse communications correction (Re-hires anti-Palin smear peddler Kevin Madden)
CBS News ^ | 7/7/12 | Norah O'Donnell

Posted on 07/07/2012 4:56:59 AM PDT by jimbo123

In a sign that Mitt Romney's campaign team plans to adjust following growing criticism from fellow Republicans, CBS News has learned that Romney campaign senior adviser Kevin Madden will soon be taking on a larger and more visible role within the campaign.

Sources tell CBS News that Madden will be spending more time on the road with Romney and is likely to become a more public presence as a TV spokesperson for the candidate. He will hit the road with Romney next week, following Romney's New Hampshire vacation.

This move to make Madden a more public face of the campaign comes a week after fellow senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom committed a messaging misstep, which resulted in Romney having to walk back those comments.

Voting for Romney directly advances the godless/socialist/statist agenda.

You can't say it any more simply than that. It is solid TRUTH.

Well, I dare not disagree with one so convinced of his own arguments, nor will I list my arguments for you. There are many, but what would be the point? Solipsism can be almost as powerful on the Right as on the Left. And nuanced opinion as rare. Your solution to our national predicament is one that is very logical, and one with which I do sympathize, but also one that I find very far-fetched. Reality demands something more of us. And I simply have, or choose to place, more faith in Mitt Romney, the man, than you do, yes, based on much of what he has done (much of it contrary to what you include your list), on what he will do that Obama won’t, and on some personal hopes that are quite immediate. Take Obamacare, for instance . . . one can either damn Romney for what he did in Massachusetts, or believe him when he repeatedly says he will repeal it. I choose to believe the latter, in part perhaps because I have little choice. For reasons too complex to go into here, Obamacare will cost me thousands of dollars, personally, and leave me with no insurance at all, though I am a heart patient, while possibly even causing me to sell my home. I’ll take a very practical and non-ideological chance on the repeal candidate, thank you very much. There are other reasons, other issues. But my faith is also based upon faith, itself. At some point, we place our faiths, our hopes, our more realistic dreams, in men, however imperfect . . . men whom we believe can achieve them for us. And I choose to cling to that belief, now. I admire your idealism, and you are free to reject what I consider to be my own pragmatism, along with my faith, though you think it to be blind, but I hope that we are still free enough in this Republic to disagree.

Yes, of course you’d rather believe him. A whole lot of people would rather believe him. Wonder why there’s so much doubt.

Me, I'm voting to weaken whichever bastard wins, Romney or Obama. I'm voting for a popular vote plurality. I'm voting third party -- because unlike you, I understand that there is no such thing as voting "against" -- you can only vote FOR something. You're voting for more liberalism; I'm voting for putting liberalism on defense.

And the only way your vote "to weaken liberalism" will ever be noticed is if it actually gives Obama another 4 years.

And I understand the doubt. But I have absolutely no doubts about the communist who currently is in the White House.

Jim, might I ask you a question about something else? I bookmarked a number of posts and great articles in the old days, some years ago, and they are still listed on my page but they don't link me to anything when I click on them. Are they gone?

***Bull Shiite. You’re just fading back into your spiderhole because it’s JimRob you’re posting to.

Give it a rest. As far as I am concerned. Anyone doing anything that might help Obama stay in office is just another marxist, an Aparatchik of the highest order. And don’t give me the baloney about Romney being “just as bad.” Nobody is just as bad. Nobody is worse . . . except maybe Vladimir Lenin, himself.

Maybe that’s true of your freepmail, but when you post in the open, it’s basically like sending a freepmail to every freeper.

So go run & hide, now that JimRob has keyed up on you. Have you changed your position yet? Since your principles are so easily disregarded, it shouldn’t be a problem to start acting like a conservative again.

Maybe you should consider buzzing off, yourself. Seein’ as how you’re trying to separate conservatives from their conservative principles on a conservative website by gettin’ them to vote for a librul.

Run along now, otherwise you might catch JimRob’s attention yet again.

And I thought this was still a free republic. You interject yourself into someone else’s conversation in a very rude fashion and then act like the gestapo. Please take your narrow troglodyte views elsewhere while I try to do my best to honor the Biblical injunction to “avoid loud and vexatious persons.”

Does this have to posted twice.
***Free Republic has had issues with postings of late. Why do you have to whine about logistics? Do you whine about them when you agree with what is posted?

We all know you hate Romney
***Hate? Very strong wording here, suggesting that you’re using straw argumentation.

and hate Madden and worships Palin.
***Oh, there it is... worship of Palin. So you ARE using exaggeration of the opposing side so that you can argue against it. That’s straw argumentation. Take your RINO bowl sheet elsewhere.

The thought of a 2nd Obama term scares the Hell out of me,
***Oh, so your motivation is fear. Like a coward.

and these fools
***And the folks who don’t see it your way are fools. I get it. Of course, later on in this thread you say that you won’t list your reasons. That’s what a coward does, he runs and hides when he’s exposed.

Romney may not be ideal,
***May not be IDEAL? Ideal?!!!??? Did you KNOW you were posting on Free Republic, where there is a RomneyTruthFile right at the front page? Your response is to argue in a straw manner that he may not be ideal??? Are you EVEN a conservative, or are you just a coward?

"Oh, so your motivation is fear. Like a coward."

Only a complete dumb-ass thinks it never need fear anything.
