We will see allot of this nonsense from the msm during the election. The usual suspects on FR will be eagerly posting them.

Now there will also be allot of puff pieces from the msm supporting McQueeg.

If Fred drops out by the time I vote ... I will vote for Rudy over Romney.

Real? Not really.

In fact he has said he doesn’t get angry.

He says he gets ‘intense.’

What kind of a man says he doesn’t get angry? A phony, that who.

I am voting for Romney because he has strong religious beliefs and is very capable with matters such as Budgets

Just a couple of years ago he was pro-abortion. What kind of religion is that?

Real Deal? That's pretty funny. Which Romney are you talking about?

He's very convincing in this video: Romney Abortion

He says he's now pro-life and supports the republican pro-life platform, but he clearly states that he does not want to ban all abortions, but instead he wants to turn it back to the states to decide.

I'm not convinced he's had a full conversion.

He will only get my vote if he’s up against Shrillary.

I'd rather vote for Hillary. Honestly.

Mitt Romney is a brilliant business man. From outside the beltway. Has a beautiful family, lovely wife. Five educated, decent sons and daughter in laws. Eleven grandchildren.

Just what we need in a president.

Yes he is for real.

Even the BEST of objects have a nice polish on them.
Great cars, great furniture, ... and great presidential candidates.
If you want the unscripted, unpolished and inarticulate candidates ... I think they left the race. or maybe that’s mccain.

That’s nuts. If we defeat Hillary now she is gone FOREVER.
This is her chance. If she cant do it now, she cant ever be elected President.

Your rash assumption that lots of people share your biases and won’t vote for the smart, articulate and accomplished business leader and former Governor is as warped as your dislike for Mitt. Let’s have the nomination first before you make rash assumptions about how much he can get in the general election.

Wow. You are clueless. I don't get angry either. I am no phony (and neither is Romney), I am a human being with emotions but I try to stick with healthy not unhealthy emotions where possible. Mitt sure has genuine emotions. But I think he knows, as I do, that anger is not an effective emotion, and so we channel it differently when we are cross with people who are doing us wrong. "Intense" is the right word for it. Someone like that can be adamant, intense, focussed, and ready to tear someone's lungs out if they dont get back in line. Ready to fight, but never losing control like a 4 year old.

Romney has real class, and an unflappable way that is SO MUCH BETTER than the temper-tantrum style of McCain (like when he said 'F*** You' to Cornyn because Cornyn wouldn't help him on amnesty. In business, you NEVER get angry - a good CEO never loses his cool, but he DOES signal, very effectively, when someone screwed up and it more than able to tear a new one in him/her on it. The difference is what the biz books call "Emotional IQ" - McCain rates low, Romney rates high.

Thanks for sharing that. I can relate to Romney even better now, understanding that his unflappable intense-not-angry way is a part of his "emotional high IQ" way of leading.

why Hillary over Romeny?
You prefer Bill Clinton to Ann Romney as the presidential spouse?
You want judicial activist judges?
Romney’s tax cut ideas too right-wing for you?
Afraid his promise to keep a lid on spending will make govt too small?
Afraid Romney’s opposition to CO2 caps will flood manhattan?
his anti-gay marriage stand is cramping your style?

This is the media box built for Mitt. Just like the box they built for Fred.

They labeled Fred’s box: lazy.

They labeled Mitt’s box: not real.

And all over America the obedient sheep say: baaaaahhhhh.
