Just say no to “I’ll let my hair tell me which way the wind blows” Romney!

Much better alternatives for 2012: Barbour, Palin, Jindal, DeMint (?)

but ultimately he does not have God

Think Romney is a RINO. And no one could accuse me of being a fan of LDS. That being said, it is a bit much to assert he does "not have God."

Since he was part of the 2+2=893 on health care crowd and tea partiers are tired of the lies no matter where they come from, it stands to reason why he would be hiding and waiting for this storm to blow over to crawl back out from under his rock.

Many of the old school GOP have a the same problem with the 10th Amendment as liberals do. The only real difference is which brand of statism we get.

We’re in a fight now. I’m not interested in any candidate, Romney or otherwise, who isn’t in the fight now. Keeping under the radar until 5 months before the convention doesn’t get it with me. Not this time out.

It’s pretty simple. Romney knows there’s nothing to gain by being the first out of the gate. He sees Palin getting trashed and knows he’d rather let her take all the fire, and slide in when he has to, rather than compete for the spot light so early on.

Romeny has a big anchor around his neck,.....his own healthcare fiasco in Mass. You have to know that will be the first thing out of every talking head that interviews him. That is what happens to "kinder gentler, compassionate" conservatives that try to water down what works with the liberal religious dogma.

Palin 49%

Romney 23%

I know it's too early to peak, but he's goin down, not up. When his healthcare numbers start to become the issue, he may as well be a Dem.

This was meant in exactly the same way Jesus spoke about the Rich Young Ruler in the Gospels. To be fair, when Jesus said that it was easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven, his disciples said, “Who then can be saved?” By this standard, many are without God.
But I find it hard to believe that someone who thinks abortion should be legal knows God at all, and I am not afraid to say that.

The stuff in the Book of Mormon has been disproved by DNA examination. Aborigines in what is now the USA came from China, not the middle east. No matter how hard the left has tried, there's nothing in the Bible that has been disproved.

Though I agree with you.

He’s just another RINO. He doesn’t show up at tea parties because he’s not a conservative. Period.

I honestly believe that he intends to run in 2012 unless he is dissuaded otherwise. If he runs, he will make a very formidable candidate by virtue of his wealth, slick demeanor, and communication skills. However, I do not think he can win the general election, and if he were to run in the general election I do not see him as a valid alternative to Obama. I would rather vote for a third party candidate if the choice was between him and Obama.
So, to answer your question, I care.

Leaders, by definition, LEAD.

Politicians, play political games.

Mitt Romney has no business being POTUS... just like the current office holder.

The McCain/Palin ticket was up 8 pts. days prior to September 18th.
Obama was losing until the DNC played their October surprise on the economy
and the RomneyTeam attacked Gov. Palin and her children to throw Election2008.

David Frum: "Frum was indeed a critic of Palin, calling her nomination a "huge mistake" during an October 13 Early Show appearance."


David Frum: "Two of our most plausible candidates for president in 2012 are leading Mormons: Mitt Romney and Utah governor Jon Huntsman."


David Frum: "I have a lot of regard for Mitt Romney as a man and politician.
Let me say for the record: If Romney emerges as the Republican nominee, I will support him without qualm."


Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers, some of whom are currently working for Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin's bid for the White House,
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide, now working for McCain-Palin.
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
He's in charge on November 5th.'"
The Prowler added: "Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."
The Romney supporters in the McCain campaign had access to internal polling which indicated well in advance of the November 4 election that McCain had no chance to win.
So they began working to position their man Mitt for a run in 2012. Just two days after the election,The Palmetto Scoop reported:
"One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
These aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"Here’s what I think: I think there are some staffers on the McCain campaign who seriously screwed up the roll out of Sarah Palin, to which Governor Palin herself objected.
These staffers are now out trying to finish her off thinking, as typical D.C. types do, that if they don’t do it to her, she’ll do it to them. They just never understood who Palin is or what she is about."
"Likewise, I do think there are some staffers and others who expect Mitt Romney to run again in 2012,
they decided McCain could not win, and decided to undermine Sarah Palin and her chances hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."


"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign? (Mark Wallace, Romney pimp)
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."


Who benefits most from Sanford meltdown? Californian (that's right) Mitt Romney

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
