America DOES Need A New President. Only … Its NOT ROMNEY! A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
Mitt Romney was in New Hampshire over the weekend shining his image as he endeavors to capture the republican nomination as the candidate for President of the United States. Problem is – conservatives, whose numbers basically control the nominating process; don’t want any part of Romney. (Count “yours truly among them!)
For at least two years prior to the 2008 presidential election we told anyone and everyone, who would listen, that John McCain would never be President of the United States. But, the GOP, being a heck of a lot smarter and far and away more intelligent and politically savvy that I, nominated the guy anyway. McCain went down in flames – and so did America.
I am going out on that same limb again to declare, here and now, that Mitt Romney, if nominated, will not be elected over Barack Obama in 2012. It just isn’t going to happen.
How can I say that? Easy. I know my people.
My people are the southern conservatives. No GOP candidate can be elected president without the support of the southern conservatives — and Romney does not have their support and cannot get it … ever!
Why, you may ask, will southern conservatives not vote for a republican candidate in order to save America from another four years of Obama? Oh, that is an easy one!
We simply do not see how Romney is all that different from Obama. I mean – he DID sign into law a healthcare bill very similar to ObamaCare in his state of Massachusetts. He is a social liberal, and he is a Mormon.

Palin should contact Maggie Thatcher, pay her 150,000 pounds and ask her to provide an intensive 1-wk course about everything Thatcher knows about politics, public speaking, and world events.
The problem for Romney is that there ARE enough people who wouldn't vote for him because of his Mormonism that it almost completely eliminates his chances of winning. Whether or not it is appropriate for someone to withhold their vote for that reason is another issue altogether.
The author could have made his point, and was doing so, without bringing up that he’s Mormon. I don’t really care, unless it’s the America hating Muslims.
Palin, Cain, or me. And I haven’t decided if I’m going to run yet... :-)
Huckabee?!?!?!?
Harcourt Fenton Mudd, have you been drinking again?
Elmer Gantry is a socialist fraud, his son’s a dog-killer, he pardons murderers from prison, and he’s a lousy guitarist.
Underware = underwear
I'd vote for a Dead Corpse over Obama any day.
Millions of Democrats do that every election.
Government Union bosses would love it right up until I had them all hung for treason.
Thanks for the blast from the past!
I wouldn’t know I haven’t seen or read either in decades.
Who mentioned the Mittser? It certainly wasn’t me. He is yesterdays news. He had his chance and couldn’t beat an old dried up, Cancer ridden, aisle jumper. Next!
