A Romney we can respect (So it begins)

Old friend Mitt Romney understands that if the occasion should ever arise, he’s not actually allowed to use a PowerPoint presentation during a presidential inaugural address — right? Mitt, right?

After his performance in Michigan last week, you’ve got to wonder what form his marriage proposal took to Ann. “Listen, Sweetie, as you can see from the bar chart on this next slide, the genetic risk of me ever losing my hair is incalculably low.’’

Romney’s use of a projector and overhead screen at least week’s health care speech — billed as the most important event of his young campaign — was not the biggest surprise. That’s becoming par for an increasingly unorthodox course. It wasn’t even the fact that he kept referring to Massachusetts as “my state’’ after belittling us for years. Mitt, all is forgiven; welcome home, friend.

No, the biggest shock by far was the content of his speech. Mitt Romney actually planted a flag in the middle of a controversial issue and defended it. He stood up for something he had already done. It might have been the most un-Mitt of moments since he apparently sold off his entire collection of silk neckties.

In terms of background, Romney has been under fire for his role in the passage of the state’s 2006 health care overhaul, the landmark law that has dramatically reduced the number of uninsured people in Massachusetts, stayed within cost projections, led to a steep drop in so-called free care, and is widely popular here. Besides that, it’s been a disaster.

Every conservative across this grand nation has demanded an apology from Romney for the utter lunacy of successful health care reform. The poor fops at the Wall Street Journal editorial page breathlessly dubbed him “Obama’s Running Mate.’’(continued)

The only way to stop this is for the non-Rinos to align behind one of the other candidates early. I’m not saying who, but we need to focus very hard on the earliest debates, pick one person, and support him or her. Otherwise we are going to get Romney as Mr. Next-in-line, and as you point out that is going to be very bad.

The Boston Globe (AKA NYTimes Lite) endorsing Romney. That tells me everything I need to know about the guy.

I will not vote for a socialist just because he is in the republican party.

If you believe we are on a path to destruction that can be avoided by voting for a CS’er like Romney then you do NOT understand the problem. F-—, even if it was possible to put Regan himself in that office again, we could not avoid the destruction. Why? because its already here...

The stupid F’ers who scuttled this nation are going to fight to drag us down with them. We have a WAR on our hands that MUST be fought if we are going to survive and rebuild something that will bring freedom to ourselves, our families and future generations. We can no longer afford to ally ourselves with the enemy. We cannot allow them in our ranks to toss grenades into our tents.

It is FAR more important to purge our ranks of the enemy than it is to “win” some useless federal election by placing the enemy there in our name. If we cant put a loyal soldier in these federal positions to sabotage, distract and cause general disarray within the enemy capital, then we need to focus entirely on what is VITAL to our cause. Getting our real fighters into positions of power in the states.

F romney, newt, all of the democrat party and any other POF’ingS socialist that currently breaths air.

Thats the thing. They want to put him in and have people vote like you vote. Hold your nose. The presupposition behind that is that YOU CANT GET THE PERSON YOU WANT. WELL HELL YES WE CAN. Its time to tap dance on the wind pipe of the media that constantly shovels that propaganda. We pummeled Obama and his ilk in the last election, lets finish the Job and run their @sses out of town!
