"Former governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney has also made a name for him for himself since the 2008 Republican primary. He is a younger, moderate conservative and the current frontrunner among Republican constituents."

Hahahaha! Stop! I'm wheezing! C'mon, stop! My sides hurt!!

The one term Governor Romney left office with 34% approval, he was a failure regardless of right or left.

There go the commie libs again. Worrrying about the Republicans. They really need to worry about their own ‘RAT party and how it has been hijacked by CPUSA.

Wait a sec... “Younger” ?!? Remember the trolls in ‘07/’08 complaining about how Fred Thompson was “too old” ? Slick Willard will be OLDER in November 2012 than Fred Thompson was in the early primary days of 2008... just 4 months short of 66. That’s “younger” ? WHAT ?!

Steven Begakis, third-year Political Science and Economics double major and UCSB College Republicans president, said he hopes Republicans nominate a true conservative candidate that can articulate the conservative philosophy to the American people.

Here's their "Republican" expert.

Palin wrongly drew comparisons between Barack Obama and terrorists by emphasising his middle name, Hussein, and by over-exaggerating Obama’s relationship with Bill Ayers, a radical political activist from the 1960s.

That, and the pinata statement tell me this is another Lefty hack trying to demoralise conservatives.

"Mitt Romney ... is a younger, moderate conservative .."

The author either sleeps with Mitt Romney OR is mentally ill.

Romney is Not Conservative.
Romney is an old, old, Mexican (ineligible).
Romney is a proven-failed Governor.

MITT ROMNEY - THE PROVEN BAD GOVERNOR

"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you say, “Who is that man ?”
You try so hard
But you don’t understand
Just what you’ll say
When you get home.

Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones ?

Mitt isn’t even conservative enough to be a compassionate conservative.

Good grief, these leftwingers have no idea what reality looks like....or they are simply serial liars.

Or both.

There is no such thing as a "moderate conservative".

Its the same BS as "compassionate conservative".

Romney is seen as “the next in line” by Republicans the Republican establishment for the presidency, and this will help him with fundraising in the crucial primary state election.

A little editing goes a long way.

Sarah Palin cannot beat Barack Obama in a presidential election, and Republicans will be better off the sooner they realize this.

Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with. (Atlas Shrugged)

I have always suspected that the presidential candidates are picked on the basis of their Socialist/Globalist inclinations. It almost seems as if the election process is just a facade to give us a little hope that we have some control left.

Ok, if Mitt's a conservative, I want to see him march, unattended, right into the middle of a Tea Party rally.

He wouldn't be at risk or anything.

But his feelings are probably going to be hurt...
