“(Fred) said, “Management’s important, but leadership is more important. Managers are people who leaders hire.”
LOL! Fred is neither!
>>>How many Republicans did Precious Willard help elect in MA ? List them. Start with the Governorship.<<<
How many did he help? Hundreds. How many millions of his own money did he put behind the effort?
Oh, wait. How rarely you ever talk about that.
And how many Republicans did the state of Massachusetts put in office? Romney doesn’t determine election results. And let’s be honest, Fred Thomposon isn’t going to take Massachusetts if he’s nominated.
>>>Two years ago, Governor Mitt Romney declared his mission to rebuild the state Republican Party, starting with the Democrat-dominated Legislature. Buoyed by his win in 2002, Romney and other GOP leaders had recruited more than 100 candidates, most to take on entrenched incumbents. Romney raised money for the candidates and campaigned with them while the state party ran advertising to support them.<<<
>>>The outcome? Republicans did not unseat a single incumbent in 2004.<<<
And you wanted him to sink all of his assets into 2006 in a state that votes consistently Dem in a year where the GOP was already doomed?
Be honest, even if he’s nominated, Fred Thompson isn’t going to take Massachusetts. Nor is Giuliani.
Yes, but they're all Democrats.
"And let’s be honest, Fred Thomposon isn’t going to take Massachusetts if he’s nominated."
Thanks to RINOs like Precious Willard destroying the party. Of course, dear Precious and even Rudy wouldn't carry it, either.
"And you wanted him to sink all of his assets into 2006 in a state that votes consistently Dem in a year where the GOP was already doomed?"
So in other words, he was a complete and total failure in 2004 and he ran away in 2006. And now he wants a promotion for BURYING the MA GOP. Yeah, REAL leadership. If I were a rodent, I'd want this guy as President. He'd guarantee the Republican party couldn't seriously contest the Presidency or Congress for the next 50 years... maybe longer.
Good article, thanks for posting.
I’ll take an inexperienced leader taking us in the right direction than an experienced and integrity-challenged leader leading us down the toilet of liberalism like Rudy and Mitt will do.
He will be if he's elected President. ;o)
“Spoken by a man who has never led a day in his life.”
Unlike your boy, who has led Massachusetts into the abyss of socialist health care.
Keep denying the efforts Romney put into the GOP in 2004 in Mass. And you can name a Republican governor in 2004 who recruited as avidly as Romney did, I assume. (Yeah, right.)
Your equation with the liberal electorate of Massachusetts with the rest of the nation is flawed. And if Romney was the most liberal of governors in history as some around here seem apt to try to claim, why didn’t that liberal electorate vote in all of those he recruited?
Oh, wait...
“It’s really easy when you’ve been nothing but hired help to criticize business executives, founders, and owners as not being leaders.”
If we were electing the most successful business leader, we’d be voting for Warren Buffet or Bill Gates (Democrats). Ross Perot anyone?
I'm glad he had a successful business, but I don't agree with his views, and wouldn't want him running the country.
That is a bunch of bull-hockey. Thompson has never been a leader in his life.
Leadership Management - there’s absolutely no difference.
The starry-eyed Fredheads continue to delude themselves into thinking they have found the second coming of Ronald Reagan.
If you are trying to tout Mitt's leadership as the Governor of Mass as a reason to hire him as the leader of the Free World that is pure nonsense, especially as a Republican, and doubly as a conservative Republican.
He destroyed the Republican party in Mass, which as Governor he was responsible for leading and would also be responsible as President.
He governed as a Democrat and supported everything they did.
1. Abortion
2. Gay Rights
3. Anti 2nd Amendment
3. Socialized Medicine.
These are not the hallmarks of a good Chief Executive and if he had exhibited the same type of behavior as a CEO of any other type of company, he would be summarily shown the door.
Nope,
You have mischaracterized us.
What we have found is a man who actually has been a conservative and is still a conservative.
Something that cannot be said about Mitt or Rudy.
And furthermore, his laid-back style, the clothes he wears, his health, the fact that some of his campaign staffers have left, his young wife, the percieved lack of fire-in-his-belly or that he has not been a Governor is of little concern to us.
We want a leader who is a true-believer of conservative principles, not somebody like Mitt or Rudy whose conversion to conservative principles is suspect at best.
Also something that cannot be said about Mitt or Rudy.
I spent a bit over 20 years active duty military and believe me there's a difference between the two...
