HA...he just outted himself!
Mitt = self serving jellyfish
***Mitt, in spite of his genuine conservatism...***
lol
I am not surprised about Mittens but Mike Pence is disappointing. I thought of Pence as the type of conservative who would mount a 4-year campaign for President with an RV with its own radio studio going from city to city.
I guess I was wrong. I guess he has been drinking that DC water too long.
So Romney must be for Owen.
Mitt is a manager. He has no ideas of his own and does not know how to evaluate others’ ideas except how to implement them like health care in Massachusetts and when he takes to managing an impossible scheme, well, he fails with it more nicely than others would or gets out from under befpre they are too pbviously failures. A couple of Romneys might be good for a Republican Party in power and govering so long as it is a party with Conservative ideas and has a comfortable majority and no Romneys have actual leadership positions.
Mitt might be useful working for Sarah, but he isn’t ready for prime time on his own.
“Mitt, in spite of his genuine conservatism”?
If he endorses Hoffman, and Hoffman loses, it messes up his reputation with the other RINOs and DIABLOs, and will not reassure the conservatives.
If he endorses Pelosi Scozzafava, he has sunk himself with the conservatives whether she wins or not; and gains nothing with the other RINOs. It is "only what was expected."
Cheers!
Romney’s game plan for winning the nomination is to be all things to all people. He wants the base to see him as a conservative, the RINOs to see him as a moderate, and the nonideological types to see him as a competent manager.
He couldn’t endorse anyone in this race because whatever he did would undercut one part of that game plan.
I wonder which candidate he actually prefers, Scozzafava or Hoffman. All we know for sure is that he’s chosen expedience over principle.
If there’s any justice in the world, a lot of the RINOs will be ticked off at him for not endorsing Scozzafava.
Let’s be fair, Mitt showed great courage and leadership by jumping right in and endorsing McDonnell of VA a couple of days ago, despite the fact that McDonnell is ahead in the polls by only 12 points. And he did this in front of a huge crowd of dozens who had turned out to hang on his every word.
Of course, Huck hasn’t been much better, goes all the way to NY to address the Conservative Party, and get an award from them, but then fails to endorse their candidate.
Mitt and Huck, what a pathetic pair, but yet, all those fancy polls keep coming out telling us that they are the frontrunners, more like the frontlosers, if you ask me.
GO Sarah, GO!
The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++8 to 10 pts. in some polls, days prior to the election.
So rather than helping the GOP, poor loser “I am Myth” Romney and
TeamROMNEY decided …… to attack Gov. Palin (and her defenseless children) to throw Election2008.
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."
… 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:
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."
Who benefits most from Sanford meltdown? Californian (that's right) Mitt Romney
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
How hard is it for Romney to just do what’s right.
For once in your life Mr. Romney, forget about personal political advantage and think about actually helping by getting behind the right candidate.
I dunno, but I don’t want another person who votes “present.”
He’ll never get my vote again, and I’m in Utah.
Having said that, it looks like both Mitt and Newt are jockeying for GOP support in the next election, probably because it was the Party that got McCain nominated. This system is so inherently wrong. We need to place ideology ahead of the good-old-boy system. We should return to the Party environment where the candidacy of a Ronald Reagan thrives instead of one where George HW Bush, Bob Dole, or John McCain is anointed because of loyalty to the oligarchy. Setting his business abilities aside, Mitt has really disappointed me on this one.
