In response to Jason’s post of an anti-McCain YouTube video, I offer this video of Romney, made by the same exact organization that produced the McCain video. Also, I take issue with the statement “This Youtube is making it’s way into activists inboxes all across the nation as we speak.” The anti-McCain video has… brace yourself… 139 views, while this anti-Romney video has 4,796 views. Enjoy.

“Ronald Reagan was a democrat and supported FDR. Was the president of S. A. G. In 1952 he supported Ike as a Democrat’s for Ike.”
Do you really not see the difference between pre history and post history? It makes a difference when you change (for it to be credible).
The Vietnam war, the 60s, Roe vs Wade, the incredible abortion wars, the Reagan Revolution, the fall of the Soviet Union, the Clintons, the republican revolution of 1994, the 2000 election, the 9/11 attack on America, non of this affected Mitt Romney.
What affected Bishop Romney at age 58 was that in 2005 he formed a new persona to campaign for the 2008 republican primary.
While that kind of cynical strategy will work for many people, it of course will have the opposite effect on many others, to the kind of phony that would implement such a plan, the gamble is only ‘will it work long enough to attain the goal?’
Good stuff.
Go ahead and smash the only hope left to stop McCain.
I hope you will like living in McCain’s America. It will look more like Mexico once he and his Democrat friend wreck the economy with its Global Warming plan, High Taxes and open borders. Just wait when Free Speach is gone and Radio Talk Shows are banned for “hate speach.” Think McCain will be able to stop the Democrats pulling out the troops and putting in “Hillary Care”? Think again. There will be no Fence—only amnestry for all who come. Like the Mexican Illegals in your town to be doubled? maybe add a few million Chinese, Iraqi, etc... to the mix. This left of center government and low wage labor will destroy the America we know. I hope you are going to like the $8.00 a gallion gas and the Taxes on the internet that will come. What ever wealth left in this land will be shipped to Mexico and China. I weep for the nation.
You Romney-worshipers are all scum from the same bucket, eh?
Tell me you are not supporting that traitor(to the conservative movement) John McCrazy?
You begin by demanding that I look up your evidence for you, then when called on it, you resort to name-calling. You most definitely argue like a liberal.
McCain’s America is far better than Hillary’s. It seems you would prefer Hillary’s. I think my party, the Republican party, is better off without people who would withhold support or vote for a Dem when given the choice of ANY Republican versus Hillary.
Hillary is pure, molten evil. McCain may be misguided and flatout wrong on many issues, but he isn’t anything close to a socialist like Hillary.
People have really lost perspective around here.
“This primary is a reflection of the mens leadership skills, the natural born leader is leading although he had to come back from the political dead, with no money and no staff.
The rich kid has all the money and staff in the world, but he can’t seem to overcome his weak leadership skills.”
That just about sums it up. It is why McCain is clobbering him. And why Fred is endorsing McCain. Richie Rich from New England just doesn’t sell down south.
“believe him or not Romney is running on...”
I do not believe him. Neither did the primary voters in New Hampshire, South Carolina or Florida, in spite of his expenditure of over $100 million. Neither will the primary voters in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, California, New York, New Jersey or Colorado, no matter how much he spends. This little video is a vignette of why we do not believe him.
Heck, McCain is on his way to Massachusetts right now. If Mitt isn’t careful, it may be a sweep. That would be the end of his presidential ambitions this year....and forever.
If I were Mitt Romney, I would return to Massachusetts to try to keep from losing my home state something even Fritz Mondale did not do.
ON the issues. Romney is pro-life. McCain is pro-life. Romney opposes federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.
McCain SUPPORTS federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.
He wants to use our tax dollars in a way that many pro-lifers consider murder.
I thought he was a fiscal conservative. Where does the constitution say that we should fund ANY research, much less research that many pro-lifers believe kills babies?
Romney strongly opposed gay marriage and civil unions. The court imposed it, as every sane person knows.
Pro-lifers are poorly led by those who would make us laughingstocks by hawking bad law and stupidity.
Romney pushed the legislature to exempt the hospitals, but the legislature refused. His administration tried to do an end-run around it, but in the end the lawyers determined that their attempt was illegal.
If we are going to use illegal means to get our way, there are a lot of things you can do to get yourself thrown in jail, but don’t expect the Governor of the state to join you.
I am hoping Romney wins. John McLame will lead this nation to more amnesty, fewer tax cuts, more “terrorist bill of rights” thinking, no chance in ANWR, and more 1st Amendment rights being gagged.
McCain is weak.
“ON the issues. Romney is pro-life.”
Expanding taxpayer funded abortions to make them available to women who are 300% above the Federal Poverty Line (up to $32,000 for single women) when the prior law only covered medicaid eligible women (who were 133% of the FPL, or up to about $14,000) is not prolife. With a $50n copay, no less. This is why National Right to life rejected him in favor of Thompson. On embryonic stem cells he has been for them as recently as last year. I have no idea whether he switched his position last Thursday, but the issue is moot. Scientific advances make such cells available without destroying the embryo.
He still has the matter of the tax payer funded abortions, with a $50 copay, in Romney Care which is killing him in the south.
“Romney pushed the legislature to exempt the [religious] hospitals [from dispensing the morning after pill], but the legislature refused. His administration tried to do an end-run around it, but in the end the lawyers determined that their attempt was illegal.”
Mitt has a disturbing habit of consulting lawyers when a hard decision must be made and caving right afterwards, using the lawyers as cover. He did it with gay marriage as well. The guy is so lacking in conviction and so afraid of pressure that he folds like a cheap suit every time. He caved on gay marriage when he did not have to. The Court had no power to impose it. Only the legislature has that power under the Mass Constitution. But the lawyers told him he had to knuckle under so he did. They are to blame. The lawyers did it.
He tries it again in the Morning After Abortion pill. This “blame it on the lawyers, then cave” routine is a little too transparent. He has gone to this well a few too many times.
In one debate, he said his first action toward a nuclear armed Iraq would be to consult with lawyers to see whether he needed Congress’ approval to take out the nukes. If they say yes, he is paralyzed and, if Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi (the Congressional equivalent of the Mass Supreme Court) don’t give him permission, he would just wait until the mushroom cloud over an American city. Then blame it on the lawyers.
So who do you suggest voting for? It seems like both parties are working together behind the scenes.
“While I am pro-life I’m even more ANTI amnesty. That nails it for me!”
In the general, you will have a choice. Hillary is even more liberal on Immigration than McCain. Plus she is pro-abortion to the core. McCain is staunchly pro-life.
So, even if you assume the worst about McCain on Immigration, he still agrees with you on one out of two of these issues.
And as far as the all important issue of who is Commander in Chief in time of war and with troops in the field, let me put to you like this: “If you were in Iraq or Afghanistan as an ordinary combat soldier, who would you want as your Commander in Chief, John McCain or Hillary Clinton?”
If you can look in the mirror and say “Hillary Clinton”, then you have your candidate. If not, you have to ask yourself whether your opposition to McCain on other issues is worth the cost in human lives that our troops will sustain from Hillary as Commander in Chief, not to mention the damage to American security. Remember, in the 1940s, it was a Democrat President who lost China to the Communists, and the Red Chinese represent a security threat for us to this day. And in the 1970, another Democrat President, the “estimable” /s Jimmy Carter, helped to overthrow the Shah and replace him with our enemies in Iran who are still there 30 years later, assisting terrorists and trying to acquire nuclear weapons to use on us.
History is full of examples of inept leadership at the top causing huge casualties. (Lyndon Johnson in Vietnam comes to mind) For my part, if I disagreed with McCain on everything, I would be hard pressed to elect someone who I would not want as my Commander in Chief. I would feel that I was letting down the very same troops who have never let me or the rest of us down. JMHO.
Well said.
So it appears the anti-Romney wonks spend more time on YouTube.
