Romney… Stand Up, Or Stand Down!
skipmaclure.us ^ | July 7 2012 | Skip MacLure

Posted on 07/07/2012 1:58:57 PM PDT by Atlanticist.us

I’m seriously conflicted. I’m beginning to have flashbacks to the presidential race of 2008. There are some disturbing parallels between the candidacy of the hapless John “you can’t do it my friend” McCain and the present candidate, the anointed of the Washington Republican Establishment. It’s 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 didn’t 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, we’ve 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 Obama’s legacy to this country should the healthcare law not be overturned.

Mitt Romney’s 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 couldn’t wait to turn the law into a tax-and-spend opportunity, which was then followed by the election of a liberal Democrat governor after Romney’s departure who turned the law into something totally different than its original intent. What Romney did was to remediate some of the state’s 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 I’ve 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. What’s 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?

Somenoe needs to hand Willard a pic of Obama with “Conservative Republican” written under his face...

Willard will come out of his corner like the undisciplined junkyard dog that he is...

I am not a fan of Romney and did not want him ever. But, since he is being forced on us then I expect him to try to win this election.

Why can’t he attack obama the same way he did all the real conservatives in the primary?????? He destroyed the others now destroy obama.
If he loses we all should kick the elite out of the party or form a new one. I have had it with Rove and the bunch.

Why should he? Don't beat a dead horse!!! All Romney practically has to do is be an American to beat Obama's anti-Capitalist, radical, socialist, anti-American ass!

This is the one time the candidate should stay out of the way and let this LOSER Obama do what he does best, LOSE!

“Romney… Stand Up, Or Stand Down!”

Oh good lord. Another one of these articles again?

Call out the “Mitt must lose So Obama can be taught a lesson...to not win...or something” monkeys. They are due for their 5:30 poo toss.

That is the nature of the modern Republican politician. They fight like berserkers to beat the other Republicans, and then kneel before their Democrat opponent. The RepubliCrat Party is afraid of us and they know that keeping us angry at the GOP nominee who betrayed us will keep us from rising up against the Marxist Democrat who wins. They gave us the candidate most likely to betray us and the GOPe will continue to live the good life as members of the Loyal Opposition, telling us peasants that we just need to give more money to them if we ever want to get back in power.

There is no place for patriotic, working Americans in either party and they both laugh at us for thinking that our votes mean anything.

No we keep electing a GOP filled with gays, liberals and outright socialists. They have made it their job to demoralize us.

Those of us pointing out that FACT just end up the targets of the people here that are upset that we point that out. Perhaps if they voted for things and people they believed in... On second thought apparently they do. Thus the problem listed above. Hopefully they will realize that someday.

The real thought is the Republican voters picked Romney. They better stick with what they put in and if not the entire Republican Party is done forever.

The Brass tacks are that the GOP is filled with gays, libs and socialists. That is proven by one coming out of the closet and promoted every now and then...That the most liberal R to ever sport the letter is the candidate pushed by the GOP and that the leadership keeps making excuses not to defund the socialist policies of the Dems.

Anyone willing to provide evidence to the contrary?

You are obviously a hard core liberal masquerading as a Republican or a sore looser. ROMNEY WAS THE CHOICE OF THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS IN THE PRIMARY. What is your point. Wake up!
