Im seriously conflicted. Im beginning to have flashbacks to the presidential race of 2008. There are some disturbing parallels between the candidacy of the hapless John you cant do it my friend McCain and the present candidate, the anointed of the Washington Republican Establishment. Its akin to the feeling I got when I realized that George Bush was anything but the conservative he positioned himself to be.
Americans have been watching with an almost preternatural intensity as this all too real drama plays out on our national stage. Mitt Romney ran for the nomination of the Republican Party like a junkyard dog destroying candidate after candidate and devil-take-the-hindmost. It was readily apparent that he didnt much care where the bottom of the swamp was either. Though many of us disliked his tactics and they were short, brutal and to the point, we salved ourselves with the thought just wait for the campaign this summer and fall, Romney will chew up Obama and spit him out, weve got a tiger in our tank.
Readers will remember that I was never that high on Romney. I saw the potential millstone that Romneycare presented to the Republican effort to oust the Marxist Obama, as unfair as it may be. Romneycare as it has been dubbed is, and was, nothing compared to the utter devastation that will be Obamas legacy to this country should the healthcare law not be overturned.
Mitt Romneys attempt to bring sanity to Massachusetts health care costs, through a state mandated health care system, was admirable in its aims. Romney should have known it would have been vulnerable to a Democratic state legislature which couldnt wait to turn the law into a tax-and-spend opportunity, which was then followed by the election of a liberal Democrat governor after Romneys departure who turned the law into something totally different than its original intent. What Romney did was to remediate some of the states onerous health care regulations. What Barack Hussein Obama has done is to enslave an entire nation to the false gods of liberal governance.
Romney has got to start listening to some different advice. From what Ive observed, he should dump his advisers now. Whoever advised Romney to allow photo ops from The Boathouse and The Monster speed boat while the Anointed One is out campaigning, schmoozing senior citizens and sucking down brewskis with constituents, should be in some other line of work period.
Romney has lost his nerve or someone high up in his campaign has. Running from the fight is serving none of us well. No incumbent president since Jimma Boy Cata has been as vulnerable as Barack Obama. Whats infuriating me and many other patriots, at least according to the comments we get, and we get a bunch Romney wants us to trust him to bring this country out of the darkness that is this depression. He wants us to fight for him. When is he going to fight for us?

This is a repeat of Dole, McCain etc.
This incumbent president should not be ahead in some polls and yet he is.....where is the tough dialogue about the health care law and immigration...I've heard nothing from him
Hey stupid, regardless of what is at the link, am I wrong? ;)
What is at the link is one of the most sobering, eye opening, interviews ever conducted. I suggest you watch it before youtube scrubs it....again...
I have watched it. Or a version of it. I don’t doubt much of what he says. In fact, much of what he says fits exactly why and how the GOP is what it is.
I totally agree with you. Everyone should capture and save it.
May I also point out the following which fits along with it perfectly.
Congressional RecordAppendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963
Current Communist Goals
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordmans request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following Current Communist Goals, which she identifies as an excerpt from The Naked Communist, by Cleon Skousen:
[From The Naked Communist, by Cleon Skousen]
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchevs promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them censorship and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as normal, natural, healthy.
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with social religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a religious crutch.
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of separation of church and state.
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the common man.
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the big picture. Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the cultureeducation, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use []united force[] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
Second, this is only early July. Most people don't pay attention too much until Labor Day. So, at this moment I think Romney Campaign is building a war chest that it can be used in September/October. Now and then, like on July 4th, Romney gave speech that makes to the news cycle.
Finally, 0bama has been digging himself so far. Sometimes, it's better to let the enemy bury himself.
Having said that, I do think the campaign needs to be more discipline in their message. I'm glad they relocated that Eric F guy who kept winning the Joe-Biden-wannabe award. I don't care if the new guy, Madden, said something bad about Palin in the past. As long as he's channeling his comments to 0bama now, I'd be happy to have an attack dog on our side, even though the 'dog' might be dangerous to us as well. If he happens to be uncontrollable and attacking wrong persons, then we need to sack him (again).
Aren’t you the tough guy for Soros, Obama and Romney.
Mr. RomneyCARE should STAND UP or pull out now.
And knock off the graphics....it consumes bandwith.....
ROTFLOL. It would be a marvel if any RomneyBOT defended anything for the STATIST Master.
Start with this:
"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."

I wish someone would put this on youtube. I heard this monologue on Hannity from a Guest woman host. It was imo the most Amazing monologue I’ve heard, a real call to arms:
http://www.hannity.com/videos/?uri=channels/400391/1681628
Apparently, you have forgotten how long I have been here. I've watched you BS posts for ages.
ROTFLOL. Explain this:
Mitt Romney wins much coveted Jimmy Carter endorsement
Gore Praises Romney's 'Climate Protection Plan'
Carville(D):
"It's a feel-good story, this Romney thing.
Romney is an ascendant guy."
Sen. John Kerry (D) to Don Imus on RomneyCARE:
"I like this health care bill".
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D) on RomneyCARE:
"To come up with a bipartisan plan in this polarized environment is commendable."
You mean you're going after the supporters of the pro-choice, pro-homosexual, gun-banning, socialist democrat former governor of the once-great Commonwealth of Massachusetts?
By golly, I think you’re gettin’ to ‘em.
The guy on the far right just got 8yrs in fed prison.
The fourth consecutive Speaker of The House in Mass.to
go to jail.Nice company mitt.
Sounds like Governors of Illinois.
