I'm sure he looks that way...to someone like Bill Arkin.

If only it were true.

You know, though, I might settle for a candidate who is viewed by the liberal media as being on the far right. It's much better than being "moderate," which really means "far leftwing nutcase."

One of the best things Mitt Romney has going for him is that the media seems genuinely unhinged about him, and their RINO-radar is better than ours.

"...now he's to the far right."

Well, if they mean "of Kennedy," they may be right.

But then again, most sentient beings are to the far right of Kennedy.

In the current client of left wing surge, I am happy to hear someone is "far right." Of course Romney isn't if we go by the classic definitions of "far right." But he'll do.

"Far Right?"

I wish!

Good enough, though, if he's the alternative to Rudy. Better a questionable "far righter" than an avowed "far leftie."

Plus, his height and good looks counter the 'rock star' candidates of the Left.

I understand that many FReepers would welcome a truly conservative candidate. But to the majority of the general electorate, "far right" is obviously a pejorative. This was MNSNB's way of attempting to undermine Romney right out of the gate.

SOS. The RAT candidate are enlightened geniuses and the Republican candidates are caving-dwelling morons.

To quote one of their funny jokes, he's right -- FAR right!

Whether Romney qualifies as "far right" is debatable, but if MSNBC is pushing that line, it shows that they are afraid of him. So I think that he deserves serious consideration at the least.

Plus, Ann Coulter has had some good things to say about him, which DEFINITELY speaks well of him in my book.

Let's be honest. MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, etc. are all predominately leftist.

The anchors, reporters, etc. are leftists. All their friends are leftists. All their co-workers are leftists. All the members of their families are leftists.

Every one they know shares their views and opinions. Because of this, they think their views and opinions are "mainstream", middle-of-the-road.

This is why they refer to gun-grabbing RINO Rudy Giuliani as "moderate".

And this is why anyone and everyone to the right of them will be described as "far right", or "extreme".

The concept of right, left and middle is RELATIVE to the others. So far, Romney is pretty far right of most the pack currently running for President.
