Money isn’t enough. Romney surived a 4 year smear campaign by people who were doing to him what they accused him of doing. It was very methodial. Romney is a tough fighter, a good man. Some people just refuse to see it cause they had their own agenda. This is the first time in a long time the Republican Primary voters got a really tough fighter who didn’t get it handed to him cause of some backroom deal, contrary to all that bull about him being the Establishment pick. There was a concerted effort to stop Romney at all costs, and it fell flat cause Romney is as smart as he is tough. A person doesn’t have to show their hand to be a tough fighter, in fact, the really good fighers don’t. The Republican party is very lucky this time, despite all the efforts to stop Romney. This is the first time in a long time, we have gotten a nominee who the powers that be tried to stop at all costs and failed, That includes Fox News and some others you worship.

You just wrote either the most ignorant or dishonest post I’ve ever seen on FR. Most of FOX News, Drudge, Coulter, The Washington Times, many “conservative” radio hosts, and the establishment Republican elites were in the tank for Romney from Day Zero and pushed and promoted him relentlessly. ROMNEY is the one who ran a smear campaign which CONSTANTLY accused the other candidates of the very things Romney was guilty of, namely having a history of liberal positions such as being pro-choice and pro-homosexual-agenda.
Bottom line, Romney simply could not have won his narrow plurality victories in most states without outspending his opponents as much as 20-to-1. He is a Wall Street insider, the most liberal Republican governor ever, and he bought the nomination with lies and smears.
He’s also a political dimwit who doesn’t understand the base or conservative ideology at all. The only reason he was successful in business is because the owner of Bain said he was very handsome and was a good salesman, and obviously wanted to hire him due to his being from a powerful political family.
Who “worships” Fox News? The last time I heard something like that, it came from a leftwinger.
In your book, a “good man” might enable abortions, suck up to homosexuals, and say that sodomites have the right to adopt children. Not in mine. You can have him.
What utter foolishness you just wrote!!!!! The ‘powers that be’ (Establishment) were behind Romney all the time even to this day. Fox News had been shilling for Mitt for months and your statement on Romney being brave is idiotic!!! Where was Romney and ABO (Anybody But Obama) as his staffers absorbed by the McCain camp were anonymously trashing and sabotaging Sarah and thus trying to hurt the McCain ticket for Romneys future ambitions? That not bravery but cowardly!!!!
It’s a little early in the day to be drinking, isn’t it?
