give it a frickin’ rest! Romney’s problem was Hang-ups over his inconsistency on the issues.
I think if he would have won the nomination, people against him would use subtle jabs, etc. (via the media, democrats, etc.). That attack would exist. However, he would have been attacked more as a flip flopper or a rich guy (by the media, rats, etc.).
I’m a consistent conservative across (like many Mormons are ... so, Mormons and people like me agree on political issues ... I’m not a Mormon) the board.
My top issues for me ... personally ... are
1) Entitlement Reform
2) Energy Production/Independence
other issues are less important to me
So, on #2 ... McCain irritates the heck out of me for voting against drilling in ANWR and other domestic energy production items.
On #1, Romney infuriated me on talking out of one side of his mouth that we have to reform entitlements ... and then out of the other criticizing Fred Thompson on Entitlement Reform (as Fred actually had a plan and was willing to talk about it). Secondly, his campaign’s Robo calls against McCain for voting against Medicare Rx. One thing McCain actually did right.
Romney problem was he was all over the place with his campaign message.
No, it was because he got so defensive and wanted to fight to the last breath about his rightness. Typical Mormon.
I know, I used to be one of them.
