Mitt Romney, the GOP's Bridge to Oblivion
Gregg Jackson ^ | July 20, 2009 | Gregg Jackson & John Haskins

Posted on 07/20/2009 8:55:50 PM PDT by 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.

I’m not going to flame you. I agree with you. Voted for McCain too. I figured an experienced buffoon would be better than an inexperienced buffon whose citizenship is very questionable.

Either offer a bonafide Conservative choice, or don’t bother running as a Republican. If you want to run as a Socialist, the Democrat party awaits. Otherwise you’re just in denial about Slick Willard.

The GOP alienated, or tried to alienate, just about everyone in 2008. It’s hard to think of a way the GOP could have screwed up more.

She’s a cute, socially conservative cheerleader. That’s the core of her appeal.

I think what we need in 2012 is an adult who can be serious about the issues without being boring and ponderous, but magnetic. That candidate can look at Obama and say (without words) "Your childish emotion-based stuff has really damaged this country. You must step aside and let the adults take over."

I look at some of the front runners as of now and have to stifle a yawn.

Otherwise you’re just in denial about Slick Willard.

Your opinion and nothing more. Some of you can't accept the fact that candidates often change significantly when moving from state to national campaigns. Many have in the past, and many will in the future. Voters just have to use judgment as to what changes are legitimate, and how a candidate would govern in national office as opposed to state office.

Alright, I am going to be honest here. Shallow but honest. The biggest problem I have with him is his name. “Mitt” sounds like some snooty stuck up rich frat kid, like Chatsworth Osbourne III or something.

Next is his looks. He just comes across as a guy who shaves his body hair everywhere except his head. Too neat. Too well dressed. I just get weird vibes off him.

Now maybe if he changed his name to Mike or Bob or something, and spilt some ketchup on his self.

parsy, who feels drecky feeling like this

Romney’s already bought out the formerly grand OLD party.

The only question left is whether it will stay bought.

Odds are heavily on the side of it staying bought, because their party is so incredibly bereft of leaders who are right and real, and the fact that the hacks demonize anyone who is.

If this is true then the moral conservative base is too stupid for words.

There's another possiblity that you're missing -- that the GOP is too stupid for words.

Whatever. I’m not putting her down. I’m talking about her followers. She’s attractive and socially conservative. I have some disagreement with some things she has done.

Sorry, dude, I didn’t mean to dis your girl.

Glad I’m not the only one. I can just see him coming out of his box at night like The Gimp in Pulp Fiction. I feel horrible saying this because I don’t know the guy, but you know its like those movies where alien reptiles are disguised as humans, and every so often you see one of them eating a live mouse.

parsy, who can’t quite put his finger on it.

We need a candidate who is exciting. For all of BHO’s enormous faults, hundreds of them, he excited the Democratic base and the majority of Americans who are usually apolitical. Many of them still swoon when he speaks. Go figure.

Romney will never be that person for the Republicans. I think he’d make a fantstic Vice President, but I don’t see anything exciting or charismatic about him in the least. Maybe it’s not fair, but it’s true, and I don’t think matching him with a younger, more charismatic VP would do the trick, either. He’d probably make a very good President, just not sure he could be elected.

Thanks for stepping forward to illustrate one of my main points. You’re dependable that way.
