On Monday night, at a fund-raiser in New Mexico, John McCain said this about his former mortal enemy, Mitt Romney: “I’m appreciative every time I see Mitt on television on my behalf. He does a better job for me than he did for himself as a matter of fact.” This may not have been a joke.
Yesterday, Romney sat down for an interview with CBS News. It is a striking interview, in part because Romney seems to be making the McCain argument better than McCain, or McCain's campaign. There is a clarity to the soundbites that McCain has mostly lacked, a clear line of attack against Obama's experience and McCain's plans. Add to that whatever fundraising burst Romney could provide as a VP candidate, as well as Romney's strength in key swing states like Michigan and Nevada, and it's not hard to see why McCain may end up with a running mate whose hand he didn't shake in the primaries.

EXCEPT: Mitt says in the interview that McCain distinguishes himself from Obama on drilling in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge. This is wrong, according to the latest McCain statements. Both McCain and Obama oppose drilling in ANWR.

He’s just making things up.
The Romney haters don’t have facts to stand behind.
So they throw out hypothesis after hypothesis and then they speculate.
He did a crap job on Beacon Hill, bud. Who cares if Slick Willard gives good tv, he gives BAD governing. Liberal 2 da bone.
"He explained where John McCain stood on the economy and where he stood."
Just not where he stood 5 minutes before or where he'll stand 5 minutes after. Kinda like he was never for Reagan-Bush.
"He also talked about drilling in Alaska."
Well, he needs that oil so he can comb his hair with.
Proof ? Evidence ? Show some proof Slick Willard was a successful Governor and party leader. Start by listing all the Republicans he helped elect in Massachusetts. Put up or shut up, punk.
Here are some Romney supporters: Ann Coulter, Rich Lowry, and Robert Bork just to name a few. I trust their judgment more than the knee jerk haters of Romney on this forum.
I suggest you read the court's decision here: http://masscases.com/cases/sjc/440/440mass309.html
Three justices issued separate dissenting opinions disagreeing with the majority's activist decision. However, none of them dispute the majority's authority to render its decision or dispute that it is binding and enforceable. The executive cannot simply choose to disregard any court decisions with which it disagrees.

So handsome without a tie. ;)
What silly comments! Jealous of men with great hair or did you have a beer too many? hahahahahahah
Where are the Conservatives ? Conservatives don’t shill for liberals.
Oh my gosh. Yeah, that guy is the answer. NOT!! I was actually embarrassed for the poor fellow.
Little one, I see you are a snake oil supporter - the Huckster. You might want to change your company as well. Perhaps being around someone like Mitt would help you. Perhaps YOU should READ what Jim Robinson states. You are GUILTY OF IT. Talking down to people and personally attacking them is against the rules here.
“Nope, you're just a liberal in denial. You kids think you can pee on our legs and tell us it's raining. Who do you think you're kidding ? Just like those callers to the talk shows pretending to be something they're not.”
I'm more conservative than you ... and proud of it. You definitely have to be a Huck supporter ... I haven't seen such trash talk by an adult in a long time. You have a special gift for that - so typical of that group.
Perhaps the mods can get through to you on basic etiquette. YOU need a “time out”. Typically that is reserved for children ... . Perhaps a “slap on the wrist” might help you grow up sooner ?
I saw the court’s decision. The anger is not misplaced. *omney could’ve told the court what to do with their unconstitutional interpretation. He didn’t. He’s not a Conservative. Never was, never has been, never will be. I needn’t also remind you of the Maucks.
I felt bad for Sanford.. but at the same time.
If you’re gonna get out in the public eye you better be ready.
That’s cute. Berating the best Conservative GOP Governor in the country while touting the most liberal RINO speaks more about yourself than anything else. I guess it just boils your blood that Sanford has expanded Republican fortunes in South Carolina while *omney buried his state and party. I’m waiting for that list of names that your idol helped elect in his state. Where is it ?
Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Karl Rove, Laura Ingraham
All supporters of Romney...
There are more but we’re just naming a few.
Look at how many Romney supporters vs. the few Romney haters on this thread. They will keep on shouting, we keep reasoning. The adults vs. the kids. Facts vs. theories & disinformation. There are enemies among us. This thread once again proves this.
Sorry, only deal in facts, madam. I don’t like liberals, liars, and con men. Slick Willard is all 3.
I counted the thread.
25 Romney supporters and 7 Romney haters.
They want McCain to lose I guess.
McCain needs Romney to give his campaign a boost.
If you are aware of any constitutional professors or scholars who have published articles analyzing this issue and have asserted that Romney could simply have refused to comply with the court's decision, I would be interested to read them. Please provide a link.
I just don't think its wise to advocate what essentially constitutes anarchy. After all, we are a nation of laws.
