Mitt is also an economic genius... Big-business executives by the nature of their jobs naturally incline toward big government liberal policy in their way of thinking. Mitt accomplished his successes by managing people and making decisions, always with a goal to raise the bottom line. That's fine in business, where the people he manages are employees. But this is America and taxpayers are not employees. Beware the "economic genius" myth that "business savvy" indicates conservatism. Romney is bad news for the Republican party. See my tag line -- the nice, safe, Daddy's Home Republican. BAD NEWS.

I like Mitt.
The first pre-requisite for a VP candidate is to not have a negative impact on the ticket. I don’t know if Mitt would meet that requirement, but guess that he would.

Any supporter of Myth “pro-abortion/pro-homo” Romney can be justifiably called a liberal. If the shoe fits....

Palin is really eye candy, isn't she? Plus she is smart, conservative and competent and governor of a state with three electoral votes which isn't exactly a swing state. All reasons which McCain won't pick her. He doesn't want anyone who will show him up either in intelligence or stature. Plus he would like someone who could put a swing state or swing demographic into play.
This pretty much narrows the list to people like Joe Lieberman, Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota or one of the weak sisters from Maine.

McCain will pick Romney just to piss us off. That, my friend, is probably the
only thing Romney has in his favor. See my previous post.
A lot of convervatives warmed up to Romney after his barn-burner speech at CPAC and willingness to confront McCain on conservative issues after he became the clear front runner, including this one.
Accordingly, selecting him would not at this point p*** off enough conservatives to please McCain.

Bad idea, indeed - especially in light of what is going on in the Eldorado compound in Texas. You trying to tie Romney to that bunch of felonios kooks? What a cheap shot!

How about giving us your definition of a 'cult' as compared to a 'church.'
I think I'll start a collection of those. Should be interesting.

No problem, I understand some of the problems that others have with Mitt, and he wasnt my first choice by a long shot this year but I WOULD have voted for him. I wont for McBackstabber. OK. So who's your choice -- Hitlery or Obambam?

To: fieldmarshaldj
It's astonishing how many FReepers would willing line up to drink his kool-aid and jump off a cliff like lemmings for this $3 phony. The cult of Obama ain't got nothin' on the cult of Precious Willard. That's one of the dumbest assumptions I've seen so far. Just because some of us aren't rving bigots or out-and-out sharpshooters, people like you get the notion that we are falling all over ourselves praising him as some kind of a god. Get your head out and quit reading asinine trash into what is ACTUALLY SAID.

I have just about convinced myself that, as distasteful as it is, the right thing to do in November is hold my nose and vote McCain. If he picks Myth, forget it. It would be the most liberal Republican ticket in history - and the most unsuccessful.

He picks Willard and I have no problem staying home and rooting for the crypto-muslim to win it all
The Republic is just about finished anyway, the genie is out of the bottle and there is no going back and fixing it
The Obama candidacy and Clintons for that matter are a direct result of giving the franchise to every one the types of people the Founders warned us against giving the right to vote.
THIS NATION WAS NOT FOUNDED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF LETTING ALL CITIZENS VOTE.
It took 4 constitutional amendments and Motor Voter, but the work is just about done.
Amendments 15,19,24,26 have enabled the landless, the immature, the destitute, and the brainless to cast ballots, only a matter of time before Republic crumbles.
Its all downhill from here.

and there are people who feel the same way about huckabee.
McCain is a political jerk who is trying to use his military service in much the same way Kerry TRIED to use military service.
Everyone voting is about the upward mobility of our society.
Do we exclude stock holders without land?
Voter ID is a good step and teh next step is to eliminate absentee voting.

You anti-Romney foamers need to get over your stubbornness and realize that Romney is the best pit bull to take out Obama. Look at the recent Youtube interview with the slimy Wolf Blitzer.
Wolf tries to spin things for Obama as any sleazy liberal would, but Romney trounces him by correcting the record:

“Looks like the Founder of Free Republic disagrees with you. Btw, so do I.”
Not too worried about that, I promise you.
