Mitt Romney, the GOP's Bridge to Oblivion

Gregg Jackson ^ | July 20, 2009 | Gregg Jackson & John Haskins

[EddiesDad]

Almost no one in politics or the media will admit it in public, but the GOP lost the Presidency in 2008 by alienating the moral conservative base that the elites loathe. Many stayed home or voted third party, rejecting a nominee who was in fundamental aspects a liberal Democrat.

That is why Barry Sotero — a radical socialist with Islamic roots posing as a Christian, groomed for years by Marxist revolutionaries, who hides essential documents of his birth, education and career, who campaigned with illegal funding from overseas interests, who as far as 300 million Americans can honestly tell, was born in a foreign country and (under the plain language of the Supreme Law of the United States, the Constitution) cannot legally be our President, who lacks even the executive experience of a night manager at a self-serve gas station — nevertheless sleeps in the White House. That’s why. Do the homework. Look at the demographics.

It is just too early to comment on 2012 election.

The GOP ranks has thinned down to some foolish lapses like Sanford, Ensign etc and rather strange decisions like Palin quitting from her Gov job, this has allowed Romney to take the lead.

The 2012 election will be about the economy and the Republican who can the best argument will win the election.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Palin is passing the office to her able Lieutenant who can carry forth her policies. She did not “quit.”

[GregH]

Nevertheless, she has hurt her image among non-affiliated and independent voters and also a substantial portion of Republican primary voters think she has hurt her chances for the 2012 election.

Nice try, Greg. It's very curious you're johnny-on-the-spot with links to dubious polling data/hit pieces on Gov. Palin, and use the lingo of the haters. Anybody that knows the facts about the situation knows she hasn't been hurt in the least. If she was "damaged" in the least, the media would be touting her candidacy for President as the one most easily defeated by the False Messiah. You'll note they are quite terrified of her and don't want her anywhere near the GOP nomination, yet they are quite excited to tout the likes of Slick Willard, who is quite toxic to the Conservative base, and bitterly divisive (and Slick did "quit" his job to leave it to the Democrats).

[GregH]

So Rasmussen reports ( the most reliable on the 2008 elections) and generally well regarded is considered by you as dubious.

Why? Just because he does not have favourable numbers for Palin?

Like it or not, this is how the public views Palin due to her decision to resign from her job early. There is still quite a lot of work for her to do if she wants to win the 2012 elections.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Polling data can be spun any way you like depending upon whom is commissioning the poll, and it is often especially untrustworthy where Conservatives are concerned, and the current regime. For somebody who claims it is “too early to comment on 2012”, you are very rapid-fire with posting hit pieces on Palin.

Conversely, you were quite defensive when it comes to liberal RINOs like Carly Fiorina. You may find liberal RINOs more to your taste, Greg, but I assure you I do not, and neither does most of this website, and I find their removal from the GOP of paramount importance, as is the rapid excision of any malignant cancer from a patient. We need more walk-the-walk Conservatives running for office from coast to coast, not more liberals offering the same thing as the Socialist/Marxist Democrat party with an “R” labelling.

[GregH]

It is too early to speculate on 2012 elections and the polls showing Romney leading just dont mean much and Palin can easily turn around things to win the primaries.

My view is that there is lot of work to be done by Palin considering what she is up against.

I support fiscally conservative Republicans like Fiorina, Forbes, Whitman etc, the party should not underestimate fiscal issues and not just depend on social conservatism to get support.

[fieldmarshaldj]

"I support fiscally conservative Republicans like Fiorina, Forbes, Whitman etc, the party should not underestimate fiscal issues and not just depend on social conservatism to get support."

Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg... My goodness gracious. So you believe in the mythical fiscon/soclib Republican creature, which joins the ranks of the Dodo bird, the Easter Bunny & the Great Pumpkin for sheer numbers. You cannot be a social liberal and be a fiscal Conservative, because to be a social liberal means you must pay for it, and liberalism doesn't come cheap. It requires every cent we have, and every dime we don't. I hear this ludicrous claim from some quarters that these people do exist, and yet, when they're elected, they support massive government. Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Arlen Specter... all these phonies that claim they are fiscal tightwads and support programs and measures that not only bankrupt us, but generations to come.

I see you cite Whitman, presumably Christie Todd Whitman, herself her own class of malignant cancer, rivaled only by Slick Willard, Ah-nold, Willie Weld, etc. Christie "It's My Party And I Can Kill It If I Want To" Whitman. Yes, the lovely darling of the NJ RINO establishment who pissed away in 6 short years the commanding Republican majorities in the legislature, lined the courts with leftist hacks (her appointees responsible for the obscene rewrite, via judicial fiat, of the NJ Constitution during the Torricelli Switcheroo), and who was more than happy to kneecap actual Conservatives and to make doubly-sure that folks like Bret Schundler, who turned around that $hithole known as Jersey City, which had been controlled by one of the most corrupt rodent machines in America since the 1910s, wouldn't be allowed anywhere near Drumthwacket.

Heavens, Greg, couldn't have that urban Conservative rabble defiling the Governorship as a Republican ! What WOULD Mimsy and Buffy and Chad think of such a thing ? Greg ! Good heavens ! Yes, my lad, those oh-so-charming country club liberals who, all the while doing the dirty work for the Democrat party, couldn't lower themselves to join it, since all those dark-skinned, ethnic, icky people who live in apartment complexes, that shine their shoes and fetch their wine spritzers belong to that party. But, hey, she actually got to frisk a few on her nice little jaunt with the Garden State's finest. I'm sure Chad and Buffy (and Mimsy, too) were so impressed with her highness's awesome adventures. "My goodness, CTW, weren't you scared of those dark... negroes ?" "Heavens, no ! They know their place around me !" "Ha ha ha !"

Yes, Greg, why we shouldn't underestimate those social liberals (and fiscal liberals) for the destruction they can inflict as elected officials within the GOP. And if you don't believe me, and that they're such a rousing success, why you go show me all those Republicans lining those states where the liberal set completed their hijacking of state Republican parties. What's that ? There's hardly any Republicans left ? Well, no kidding, Greg, that's kinda the whole point. You anoint these malignant cancer liberals to the party leadership and watch as the party withers away and the Democrats make clean sweeps.

Gee whiz, Greg, you wonder why we're kinda miffed about that 'round here. Now you know why. But somehow, I kinda think you knew it already, and yet, you agree with that agenda and the end result.

God but I am so sick of the boring Romney bashing on this site.

Take it up with the boss...

Mitt Romney is a flip-flopping socialist bum!

Mitt Romney, the RINO’s Bridge to Nowhere

[MichiganConservative]

Mitt’s a cute, sorta socially conservative cheerleader with great hair. That’s the core of his appeal.

Did I just stumble into a fight between Palin and Romney supporters?

I am not a Romney supporter. Dude, I voted for Ron Paul. There's a man with principles in line with the Founding Fathers who votes accordingly, even if he's the only one.

[Diogenesis]

Willard Brutus Romney cowardly attacked Gov. Palin and her children.
Mitt should be ostracized.

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

"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?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

[fieldmarshaldj]

No, you stumbled into a rumble between Conservative FReepers and liberal Slick Willardbot trolls.

As for Paul, well, we could use a return to the Founding Fathers’ roots, but it’s too bad he’s as nutty as a Snickers bar. A 19th century view on foreign policy isn’t helpful, either, especially when he and Kucinich could deliver the same speech and attract the same crowd.

[Diogenesis]

Reading from TeamROMNEY's antiGOV.Palin sheet, again.

Romney = MSM's and the DNC's private WHORE.

[MichiganConservative]

At least Obama’s continued the war in Iraq. You know we’re in a troop surge in Afghanistan, right?

The war is the most important thing, right? Who cares if we get a communist tyrant, as long as we keep troops in Iraq. Well, we did and they’re still there. Many Freepers should be happy.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Hey, I thought the war was over ? The media never talks about it anymore. It becomes unimportant once a rodent is in office, y’know.

[Diogenesis]

Since ROMNEY threw Election2008 and gave us the Kenyan
tyrant, how is that working out for you RomneyBOTs?

[MichiganConservative]

I saw a headline on Drudge yesterday that said this month was set to be the bloodiest yet for us in Afghanistan.

I also saw something about Pakistan being upset about us and the Afghan campaign. Maybe we’ll finally get to see Obama enact his dream of invading Pakistan. If you paid attention to the Dem debates, you noticed he seemed to have a real desire for a land war in Pakistan.

But, I guess in that sense, he’s a traditional Democrat. They tend to like long foreign military engagements and nation building.

Those things help distract the people, impoverish the country, and enrich their friends all at the same time.

[MichiganConservative]

I just said I voted for Ron Paul. How does that make me a “RomneyBOT”?

[GregH]

You have misunderstood my quote.

I support Meg Whitman ( not Christie Whitman) bid for the CA governorship and Fiorina’s bid for the Senate seat.

As they say ‘horses for courses’, the kind of Republican who can win in OK etc is not the same kind who can win in blue states like CA etc.

In even the most conservative districts Dems put in a very competitive candidate and a solid performance, then why do Republicans write off blue seats. This is not the way we are going to win back control of Congress. As for Fiorina etc, these talented people ae just making their politiical debut ,yet written off as RINO’s by many here in this site despite those candidates having no significant political record.
