With Brown out, GOP mulls Romney energy
Boston Herald ^ | February 2, 2013 | Joe Battenfeld, Hillary Chabot

With Brown out, GOP mulls Romney energy
(He's back; Mr. RomneyCARE and family for MA Senate))

"Massachusetts Republicans are desperately scrambling to find
a strong Senate candidate to replace Scott Brown,
with some even trying to persuade Mitt Romney’s wife or son
to jump into the race to avert another electoral disaster.

... Other GOP leaders also raised the prospect of Mitt’s eldest son, Tagg,
launching a surprise Senate campaign.
Tagg Romney was a close campaign adviser
and surrogate for his father and is a successful businessman living in Belmont."

You have no conservative principles.

You are the epitome of Republican establishment principles.

Those are very different things.

I don't want a pure Republican party. I want the Republican party to just be a mention in the history books next to the Whigs and the Tories.

The Republican party needs to go away. The way they lose votes, it's going to happen sooner, rather than later.

“My overriding principle is to defeat Democrats at every opportunity. “

Not interested in your stories. That quote, in light of you ignoring all my questions, as many have before you, tells everything anyone needs to know about you.

You are indeed willing to do anything to ‘win’.

So be it. But you do not belong in conservative company as you are no different than the democrats you claim to oppose.

Your stated willingness to support a liberal that openly supported abortion, firearms control, and state-run medical care.

That's your lack of conservative principles right off hand.

I don't know that I can find any Republican principle you are lacking. Being abusive, prevericating, cheating, doing whatever to win, and then bending over to the liberals is right in line with Republican principles.

You know something Johnny? I can understand why fear led so many to back Romney. But we saw what that got them. Another loss and a GOP further emboldened by their lib support to move further left.

But to want to keep going down that path with the benefit of hindsight to guide? To want MORE of that?

Abject idiots. Or Democrats in the closet just straining to break free. One or the other.

Johnny, I could be abusive to you but I am going to discount the fact you are just too ignorant to understand. I have never lied, cheated, prevaricated, been abusive and any of the other lies you've said about me.

So you really do not understand why I told that man it was necessary to vote for his pro-choice rep. in order to keep a very pro-life chairman of a committee in place?

Do you really think it would be more noble to let the whole Democrat team come in and take over?

I feel really, really sorry for you because someone has worked you over good. Have you ever heard me even mention firearms control and state-run medical care?

Well, I guess I have because I have certainly stated how the only way we can get rid of Obamacare is to have Republican majorities. There was only one Republican who voted for it.

Do you vote? How do you find anyone worthy of a vote? I wouldn't if I were you.

You just keep feeling sorry. Because you are hemmoraging base for the GOP. The conservatives aren't falling for your line of crap anymore.

The GOP is a horse that can't win anymore.

I'll be glad when it is just a footnote in history.

Don’t bother responding. I’m sick of the mob mentality bullying I see here on FR. I’ve tried to be decent and answer questions but you guys really are bullies.

You’re no conservative—you’re a gullible bully who won’t even carry on a civil conversation. Go play in the street and partake in your mob group think. I have lost almost all respect for FR because you won’t even be civil.

Lets fix that a little to represent what you really said...without the spin...

“So you really do not understand why I told that man it was necessary to aid in the death of children in order to keep a vchairman of a committee opposed to such evil in place?”

Because that is the same thing, just in less PC/Spin terms.

And if you are either too stupid or evil yourself to see that, it just adds to my conclusion that you do not belong in conservative company.

Decent people do not help elect those who kill children. Deal with it.

I'm stating my conservative views.

You on the other hand, have no problem calling someone stupid or ignorant if they won't see things your way.

You aren't willing to compromise and allow real conservatives because you seem to be scared that you can't 'win' with real conservatives.

I suppose you define 'civil' as agreeing with you?

Don't count on it anytime soon.

As I said before, when you encourage conservatives to abandon their principles, expect some kickback on FR.

I'm not a bully. Bullies are folks that kill babies or support those that kill babies. Those guys are bullies.

Shortening one of the legs of your walker would just be a practical joke.

NO YOU BULLY!!!

Killing babies is winning political conservvative strategy!!

I have been so blind. She’s right. Why, if we only just accept a few arms, legs and brains splattered on the floor, we could WIN MAN!!! WIN!!!

And it’s the selfish people like you who would deny some GOP pol his seat at the party table just to have another collection off cells using up valuable resources.

You are disthpichkable!!!

Are you sure? Because she makes so much sense!

I mean really. Does it make perfect sense that conservatism, a philosophy defined by belief in principle, is best served by doing the opposite of maintaining the principles that define what it is?

I dunno Johnny. In Obamamerica, that makes perfect sense. And it is totally consistent with conservatives who alter their beliefs to fit the situation.

Now I’m so confused. Someone get Lassie cuz Normie fell down the well again....

So you are saying that in order to be conservative I should stick to conservative ideas and not just make them up to benefit me in whatever situation I run into?

Cuz..that’s hard. It’s a lot more attractive an idea to just lie to myself and everyone else and say that abortion and supporting and empowering those who legislate more abortion is conservative because if we dont then a dem who will legislate more abortion will win.
