Romney will lose Massachusetts because of RomneyCARE.
Americans HATE ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE.
But like Obama, Romney does not care.
There is a 4-5 point “rally to the flag” effect during the anniversary of 09-11. Like it or not the fact O was in charge when the Seals got Bin Laden is going to help him in the polls for the next week or so.
So the “hate Romney Always” Freepers might want to hold off on popping the corks from their Obama champagne bottles just yet.
You know what? Keep it up. Keep bashing Romney. When Obama wins, we lose. Got it?
Romney for reasons known only to him believes obama is a nice guy who is in over his head.
Now, if obama were a conservative Romney would eviscerate him.
GREGORY: Well, let me ask you about a couple of specific areas. On healthcare, you say that you would rescind the president’s healthcare plan on day one. Does that mean that you’re prepared to say to Americans, young adults and those with pre-existing conditions, that they would no longer be guaranteed healthcare?
MR. ROMNEY: Well, of course not. I say we’re going to replace Obamacare. And I’m replacing it with my own plan. And, you know, even in Massachusetts where I was governor, our plan there deals with pre-existing conditions and with young people. Everybody…
GREGORY: So you’d keep that part of the federal plan?
MR. ROMNEY: Well, I’m not getting rid of all of healthcare reform. Of course, there are a number of things that I like in healthcare reform that I’m going to put in place. One is to make sure that those with pre-existing conditions can get coverage. Two is to assure that the marketplace allows for individuals to have policies that cover their— their family up to whatever age they might like. I also want individuals to be able to buy insurance, health insurance, on their own as opposed to only being able to get it on a tax advantage basis through their company.
This is a very good description of Mittens. Everyone should read this, at least the first six paragraphs or so.
As a Palin fan, and a longtime contributor to C4P, this doesn’t do us any good at his point. Would Doug Brady prefer Obama over Romney? Not me.
If Romney loses Palin will get a strong shot at becoming the shadow leader on the right. And if he wins she will be a Tea Party leader that keeps Romney honest. And would have a good shot in 2020 (she’d be only 55).
So calm down with the circular firing squad right now.
So, Palin’s upset and now she’s going to go after Romney?
I like Palin and think she’s gotten a raw deal from both the MSM and some of the GOP establishment, but it seems to me that her time to go after Romney was in the primaries.
Yet, given that opportunity, she passed. Once she passed, she needed to decide whether she wants the GOP candidate or Obama to win in November. Right now, it appears to me that she’s undecided.
By the way, can anyone provide a link to a good article explaining why Palin was not at the GOP convention. I read a lot, but there’s been precious little analysis of her failure to appear. I do know that she appeared mighty upset in an interview pre-convention. What’s going on here?
This is the type of questioning, which asks what do you say about reports that you beat your wife regularly.
Such stupid loaded questions from NBC and why on earth is Romney even doing these interviews!
Romney can’t be a conservative, because he isn’t. It’s that simple. All of his current positions are flip-flops and oblunder is going to slaughter him with it in the debate. He’ll have Romney on his heels the entire time.
Keeping Romney honest - that is funny.
Romney says ‘I will repeal obamacare the first day in office’
Romney says ‘I will replace obamacare with Romneycare’
Romney says ‘I will fix obamacare by keeping some parts and not others’
Sorry which Romney are conservatives going to keep honest.
Which article did you read where Bratch said “Romney bad, Øbama good”?
>>Romney for reasons known only to him believes obama is a nice guy who is in over his head. Now, if obama were a conservative Romney would eviscerate him.<<
No, if people didn’t already know Obama, and hadn’t already voted for or against him in the past, then Romney should go negative and “eviscerate him.”
However, people who will never vote for Obama know exactly why they will never do so. What “he’s a nice guy, but...” ads are going after are the voters who has already voted once for Obama (and remember, that’s a majority of voters in most of the swing states) and have to be convinced that while their previous vote was understandable, they now need to reassess the situation and vote against Obama.
You don’t accomplish this by trying to convince them that they were idiots the first time they voted, regardless whether that’s your personal opinion of them. You accomplish it by pointing out how the policies he’s advocated are not working, and it’s time to vote in someone who will try a different policy tack. The swing voters they’re going for don’t have a clue whether Romney’s preferred policies will work, just like they didn’t have a clue whether Obama’s would. Not everyone is an economist, after all.
They’re just looking for someone they can trust to put in charge of the country, and you would be surprised at how many of those people in the middle are completely turned off by someone going negative. They don’t understand, or care about, the policy details; they just don’t want someone who’s always tearing people down to be their candidate, and too much negative campaigning will lose their votes.
I just wish Romesty would shut up completely and let his surrogates do the talking. Just shut up . . . get this illegal alien out of our White House and then he can do stupid things like keeping parts of Obamacare . . . at least the jug eared moron will be out of our White HOuse.
Please, Mittens, just shut up. There are millions of Conservatives that are going to have to hold their nose to vote for you because you are a big “D” democrat. Please, shut up.
I am not yet at the point where I will accuse Romney of going weak “McCain” on Obama, but it certainly appears that way. However, I am terribly disturbed that both Mitt Romney & Paul Ryan took a “Republican Country Club” weekend off this past weekend. You know, I really do not mind if Romney/Ryan go down to defeat against Obama/Biden, but.......the truth be known....it is not about Romney nor Ryan, it’s about the destruction of the USA as a free nation!!! If Obama wins, you can kiss the USA goodbye. Look,,,,,fools....there is no such thing as a free lunch, period. Sooner, rather then later, the “Obama Stash” taxpayer money is going to run out and, then there will shortly follow riots and war in our streets!!!
I do not want Romney /Ryan to rest for one minute. I want them tearing Obama to shreds politically, every day, every hour, every minute. Obama is not a “nice” guy. He is an evil man, intent on taking America down, period. As for me, I am the over-the-hill-gang, and will soon be pushing flowers up from my resting place. It’s you young folks that will have to survive the horror that is coming!!! I have done my best, and will continue as such, until the Lord, God almighty takes me home!!!
Ok, we get it, you apparently do not like Palin, because she isn’t dancing to your tune.
So much for keeping Romney’s feet to the fire........
now don’t be critical of Romney,
do not talk about his liberal record,
don’t talk now about his flip flops.......
If he gets elected we will hear the same drum beat.......
don’t be critical he is our president now,
don’t press to hard the 2014 mid term elections are coming up,
don’t be critical the 2016 election is coming up don’t want to give the dems any ammunition.
When is this mythical “feet to the fire going to happen”?
Pssst...don’t know if anybody’s told ya yet, but Romney didn’t say that.
Take a listening/reading comprehension course and call us in the morning.
I sure wish people would quit jumping on this bandwagon. He did not say he’s keeping parts of Obamacare. The plan is to repeal it and replace it with a sensible reform bill. To repeal w/o drafting a better bill would be stupid. Yes ... there needs to be some reform. Just not Obama’s idea of reform.
