BUYER BEWARE! What You Would Get In a Vice-President Romney
Hint: a demagogue who has already changed history)
When Ann Coulter endorsed Mitt Romney she called the former Massachusetts governor "manifestly our best candidate" -- though the paper for which she is "chief legal correspondent," Human Events, ranked Romney the #8 RINO (Republican In Name Only) in the nation in 2005.
GOP establishment pom pom girl Laura Ingraham and water boy Sean Hannity evangelize Romney on their radio shows as the second coming of Ronald Reagan.
Curiouser and curiouser!
Romney the wallflower bats his eyelashes and coyly pretends not to notice the increasing speculation of a McCain-Romney ticket--even as he criss-crosses the country campaigning and fundraising for McCain--the same John McCain who Romney said during the primaries was "almost indistinguishable" from Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton...

load of crap.
I love Mitt.
If Mitt were Bambi’s vp i might vote that way.
I couldn't read past the mindless drivel....
I nominate this as the “Worst Post Of The Year” on FR.
There are a lot of people actually call pro-abortion, anti-second amendment rights Massachusetts RINO Romney a conservative.
All the liberals on FR love Romnycare and it’s author. Expect them to give you hell.
Misuse of language like this cheapens the argument the authors are trying to make and also drives voters like me away from reading the column.
PS - I am no Romney fan.
“There are a lot of people actually call pro-abortion”
Do you want anyone to take you seriously, or have you been living under a rock for the past few years?
Get real. This is nothing but PR bs from idiots who just want to muddy up the waters.
Aw, Jeez...
I’m beginning to think there are some 3rd column dimocRATS on Free Republic.
Yep!
It’s just mindless drivel.
Thats about as far as I read too.
What’s sad is that there are some Freepers who subscribe to some of that mindless drivel.
They put him on it 2005 b/c they didn't believe his conversion on abortion. Yet they didn't include Guliani who openly supports abortion and was an obvious presidential candidate at that time. Which makes me think wonder how accurate the list was. (They left McCain off the list as well).
75% of FReepers figured out that Romney was for real. Not the perfect conservative but he passed muster. A bronze medal finish on FR in 2008 behind Fred and Duncan is worth more than an outdated Human Events list. Besides Romney won the actual conservative vote. Rush quoted a FR post that detailed the data that showed most conservatives voted for him.
“GOP establishment pom pom girl Laura Ingraham”
Written as if the writer had never listened to Lauras’ show.
“pro-abortion, anti-second amendment rights Massachusetts RINO Romney”
Can I buy some pot from you?
(sarcasm)
I don't disagree with the author here, I'm pretty familiar with Romney's flip-flops and liberalism. Unfortunately for the author, if Romney becomes VP it'll be a blank slate, I could care less what he did in MA as long as he doesn't do the same nationally. And let's face it, Romney would be a fool to govern liberally if he becomes President, it would completely destroy the GOP. I just feel that Romney is still one of the few good options out there but if McCain can find someone better with qualifications equal or superior to Romney then it's all good.
And BTW - calling Romney the Republican version of Barack Obama is so disingenuous that it threatens the credibility of the rest of the author’s inconsistent and borderline hyperbolic article.
Palin would be good...
You’re right, because if Obama does for the national Democrat party what Slick Willard did in Massachusetts for the GOP, after 2010, the Democrats won’t have Congress or the Presidency for the next 50 years. That alone might be the best reason to vote for the guy. ;-)
