Palin vs. Romney in light of the Huckabee announcement not to run

May 16, 2011 | techno

Romney pretty much self-destructed last week with that awful speech in Boston. Even NRO turned on him, and Team Bush has heaved him overboard in favor of Daniels.

[techno]

But as Shakespeare wrote Mitt Romney may not “want to go gently into the night.”

He can self-finance and he has already decided to obtain the nomination using “a last-man standing strategy” even if it means taking the nomination all the way to the convention and spending $100 million to do so.

And, whatever slim chance Newt might have fancied for himself was ripped away when he announced in Meet the Press yesterday that he favored the unconstitutional "individual mandate" requiring all Americans to buy health insurance.

Sorry, Newt. You're done for now if you weren't already.

I had posted that we needed to give Newt a fair hearing. I think I heard enough when I read that he called resistance to Obamacare as “right wing social engineering.”

Just damn.

Just a doleful thought here, though. The situation may be so dire that there is no “fix”. It may well be that collapse is inevitable.

Romney lost or was way down in 2008, he will loss again. Thanks for the piece, well done. The Lame-stream media want him in the race. When they list people that are or might running they ALWAYS list his name. They always list his name first also. Sean H. does it all the time. Palin and or Herman Cain and or Col West.

Like Albert Speer was to Hitler....

Romney is the Architect....the Architect of Obamacare.

What’s this news about Governor Palin raising taxes on oil companies in Alaska, and working with liberal Democrats while she was governor.

No Doleful thoughts! No McCainful thoughts. No RINOs!

The "taxes" were fees for using the rsources of Alaskan land. I believe if the oil companies bought the land outright, they could avoid said fees.

I think people will be surprised this time next year when the GOP front runner is crowned. It will probably be no one anyone suspects (no, it won’t be Palin as much as I like her) and, God willing, that candidate will unite the various factions and wipe Obama off the map.

[techno]

It will be one of two people:

Romney or Palin

Huckabee has already left, Newt is on his way down and Trump is probably going 3rd party.

And none of the dark horses have any shot whatsoever.

If Huckabee couldn’t beat both Palin and Romney in the same election cycle. nobody else can either.

I was brainwashed.”

As I’ve been saying, Romney is not going to win the GOP nomination. His ego will prompt a run but will he do like Huckabee and realize that he won’t win the GOP nomination?

RomneyCare, Bain Capital forcing people out of jobs, his LDS religion (yes folks, it is what it is - a Mormon will not be elected to POTUS - people overlooked Obama’s ties to the Muslim religion because they thought it would be cool to have the first black prez - People have told me this in private).

Romney can’t win in the South which is a Republican stronghold. So Romney will, once again, waste his time and money if he runs in 2012.

[Diogenesis]

Not gonna be the backstabber fascist Romney.

First, Romney makes TARP, gay marriage, and Obamacare moot.

Second,
"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

That scintillating little piece was bumped from the headlines by "Palin Boils And Eats Eskimo Babies After Clubbing Them With Baby Harp Seals."

How on earth did you miss that one?!

You can call it raising taxes or you can call it adding a fee, but either way, I call it "renegotiating". The oil companies were getting a sweet deal because of kickbacks to the CBC (Corrupt Bastards Club), which was composed largely of Republicans. The liberal RATs loved her for going after her own, and raising taxes. That's how they saw it. I saw it as getting rid of corruption and renegotiating on behalf of the PEOPLE.

[Gargantua]

"(no, it won’t be Palin as much as I like her)"

Hate to burst your bubble, but, yes, it will be Palin, despite how I can't stand that woman.

8^D

Now that is a comment that you don’t see everyday: a person who doesn’t like Palin but thinks she is going to get the nomination.

That is a very small club to belong to.
