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 defending anything. I’m just not sure how much to attribute to Romney and how much to attribute to Deval Patrick, knowning what I know about Deval Patrick. I don’t think you can answer that query, either.

Imperfect analogy. You could poison yourself if you wanted to, just as states poison themselves with ruinous liberal policies. However, you could vote with your feet to go to a place that doesn’t have any of said poison. Problem solved.

The states are laboratories. You can note that the deep red states are doing a lot better than the deep blue ones (California, New York, New Jersey, Michigan) during the recession. That’s why I’m glad to be in Oklahoma where the unemployment rate is only 6.3%.

"God but I am so sick of the boring Romney bashing on this site. It’s beyond the pale."

On April 12, 2006. Gov. Mitt Romney signs the "Commonwealth Care program" into law which is the State of Massachusetts's version of the Crap Plan that Obama and the Democrats are trying to Ram down our throats on a National Level. And to add fuel to the fire Romneycare is already in trouble financially.(after just alittle over 2 years of being up and running)

Whcih tells me what I already have known for a good long while:

"Mitt Ain't Itt!!!"

Lmao. Check it, the original concept as gleefully signed into law by Romney was socialist and wrong. Created and championed to this day by a Republican, run poorly by democrats, not that some RINO would do socialism “better” which is there mantra.

And the only thing that is imperfect is your entire train of thought “blah blah blah laboratory laboratory laboratory”. Ignoring the central issue. Socialized healthcare has no place in the US, and candidates who supported it as Governor and still think it’s swell have no place as Republican Presidential candidates.

" arrogant and patronizing tone, speak of the non existent “RDS” and such, tell the poster “they need professional help”

If you look at that and analyze it, what does it look like to you ? ....

Sounds like behavior liberals and the MSM show, doesn't it ? ...
Ohh yeah ? .. the non existent RDS ? and then tell the people that they need mental help ? ....
denial!
denial!
denial!
it's behavior of cultist ( or liberals ) who are so devoted, do anything for, he is GOD behavior....

Cults ... if you have done any study of cults, even if you have done a little research, you will find that the people are brainwashed to defend " the leader " at all cost, and he/she can't do no wrong and any dissent will not be allowed...
I advise anyone on FREEREPUBLIC who is a true conservative go and do your own research of Cults and you will find interesting information on Cults.
As for anyone who claims Palin derangement syndrome of some in true conservative Palin supporters ? ... well... keep looking, you won't find it.

We are looking at " principles " of conservatism ...
yes, that's spelled ( for those who just can't figure it our yet, or to the simple minded to understand )

Conservative Principles is spelled = C - o - n - s - e - r - v - a - t - i - v - e ...... P - r - i - n - c - i - p - l - e - s =

And if anyone is offended at what I just said ... well then, get over it.
If another viable, and conservative candidate comes up on the horizon, then , we might take at look and see if we will support him or her.
We love Sarah, but, she is still human, we don't want her to be our GOD ... that's the difference between us, and Mitt Botts...

So the citizens of Massachusetts were just LAB-RATS
for the admitted carpetbagger, chameleon, dictator Willard "I am Myth" Romney.

If they were Mormon, would Romney have experimented so, as you say?

Is that why Romney always consulted Utahns before his imposition of new laws?

MASSACHUSETTS is the UTAH TEST LAB.

:

"A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
 which must not be compromised to political expediency
or simply to swell its numbers."

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
 over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
 to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""

Fred Thompson is endorsing Rob Simmons over Peter Schiff, Zack Wamp over Ramsey, Lamar! over Bryant, Corker over Bryant, and Lincoln Chafee over Steve Lafferty. Don’t be surprised if Fred Thompson embraces Romney.

If Thompson has anything to do with backstabber Romney,
his credibility will plummet.

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson
."

"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."

As Bill Simon lost to a Governor with a approval rating of around 37% speaks volumes about his candidacy, not your foolish statements of how good a candidate he was in that election.

Republican coalition is a proven success, Reagan supported it, third parties are a proven failure.

You attack Fiorina as a RINO, do you have any supportive arguments for that? Why exactly is she a RINO. If supporting McCain makes someone a RINO, then Palin can also be tagged as RINO by the same flawed logic. Do you have any statewide candidates who can win a senate seat in california and defined by you as sufficiently conservative. Without raising big money it is difficult to run statewide in CA and run a good campaign.

The other possible candidates for the senate seat are Chuck de Vore and Larry elders. It is doubtful that they have the financial resources to run a successful campaign.

I supported Fred, but that doesn’t mean I always support his endorsements.

Simon stopped that senile buffoon, the ultraliberal Tricky Dick Riordan, from getting the nomination, despite the attempts of the establishment and the media to get it for him. Your beloved Socialist Ah-nold was going to personally recruit that loser for the recall until he went to have a sit-down meeting with him and he realized the man had rice pudding for brains. I'll bet you supported Tricky Dick, didn't you ? You do love your liberal RINOs.

"Republican coalition is a proven success, Reagan supported it"

Don't you even use his name. You liberal RINOs slander him every time you try to use him to cover your leftist schemes. If Reagan were around today, you'd be doing all you could to defeat him, citing the bullcrap, "But he's TOOOOOOOOOOO Conservative !" How sad it is that the former liberal rodent Governor Grey Davis was the LAST fiscal Conservative Governor the state may have any time soon (not that he was one, only that he was MORE of one than Ah-nold, who spends money and expands government at such a rate as to make your most hardcore rodents blush in embarrassment).

"You attack Fiorina as a RINO, do you have any supportive arguments for that? Why exactly is she a RINO. If supporting McCain makes someone a RINO, then Palin can also be tagged as RINO by the same flawed logic. Do you have any statewide candidates who can win a senate seat in california and defined by you as sufficiently conservative. Without raising big money it is difficult to run statewide in CA and run a good campaign."

A lousy liberal RINO candidate with lots of money is STILL a lousy liberal RINO candidate. Conservatives I know are backing the only accomplished Conservative in the race, Chuck DeVore.

Whatever you say on Bill Simon, a loser is still a loser in politics. The Gray Davis campaign intentionally sabotaged Riordan’s campaign in the primaries so that tricy davis could face a easier opponent.

If Reagan was around today, you and your likeminded buddies will attack him as not conservative enough and calling him a RINO and pushing for a third party conservative alternative.

Any reason why you tag Fiorina as RINO? You have provided no arguments for that. As for Chuck De Vore, he doesn’t seem to have the statewide name recognition to run a good campaign.

"Whatever you say on Bill Simon, a loser is still a loser in politics."

They're only losers if they're Conservatives, right, Greg ?

"The Gray Davis campaign intentionally sabotaged Riordan’s campaign in the primaries so that tricy davis could face a easier opponent."

Gray sabotaged pudding-brain ? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!! Talk about a LOSER ! Davis would've blown that senile liberal buffoon away by a wide margin. That has a nasty habit of happening when you have two Democrats in a general election, or had you forgotten Tricky Dick's endorsement of Democrats ? Wow, Greg, you sure are johnny-on-the-spot as usual with defending liberal asshats running as Republicans.

"If Reagan was around today, you and your likeminded buddies will attack him as not conservative enough and calling him a RINO and pushing for a third party conservative alternative."

Greg, now you're just lying. You would've been an enthusiastic supporter of the left-wing RINO George Christopher in 1966, denouncing Reagan as some "Goldwaterite Right-Wing Fascist(sic)." Ditto in 1976 in your support of the RINO Jerry Ford. Reagan opposed RINO liberals like you and your candidates, Greg.

"Any reason why you tag Fiorina as RINO?"

Yes. You're supporting her. If she was remotely Conservative, you'd be denouncing her, as you do with all Conservatives, Greg. :-)

So you cannot explain with reason why you consider Fiorina a RINO. Your reasoning behind those labels are juvenile and not backed by reasonable arguments.
