Course not.
Truth is not in their lexicon.
MITT MATCH
While Mitt Romney's set of paid PR minions are busy pushing out Mitt for Vice President spin, McCain campaign insiders say that while it's true they have polled Romney on the bottom of the ticket, the data confirms that such a move would be a political disaster for the party.
"Mitt tanks the ticket," says a McCain insider. "We lose fiscal conservatives. We lose social conservatives. We lose Catholics. We lose evangelicals. All the groups were spending time and money on bringing into the camp would be lost. He just doesn't help us enough to do something like this, as much as Mitt might think we should. He doesn't even win us Massachusetts."
No naming of the paid PR minions, nor the McCain source. |
There’s no way a McCain advisor or someone in his inner circle would let this out.
I don’t believe it anyways
We vote for the most rightward, VIABLE candidates, so that some conservative principles can actually be implemented, while you vote the most conservative candidate without considering viability and therefore whether or not your conservative principles can be implemented. You leave out half the equation.
I vote for as many of my conservative principles as I think I can get...EVERY time.
For instance, considering the pro-life question, McCain is far more likely to pick conservative, pro-life judges than Obama. On that alone, I prefer McCain. I look forward to the day Roe is overturned and there are far fewer abortions in this country.
Obama will pick pro-choice judges postponing that day thirty to forty more years.
How could any pro-life conservative in good conscience sit back and allow that to happen without fighting back, which in this case means supporting McCain?
Frankly, I must question the conservative credentials of so-called conservatives who do so. Further, you play right into the hands of our liberal enemies. You betray our cause all the while patting yourselves on the back and you're clueless as to the fact that you've done so. Liberals LOVE so-called conservatives like yourself. They're banking on you. Tragic.
Yes.
Personally I don't like McCain very much and his 60% conservatism isn't anything that would make me want to endorse him at this point in time.
That said, when November rolls around and I must make a choice on who to vote for one major factor will be abortion and Roe v. Wade. McCain is more likely to pick pro life judges. Conversely, Obama would pick judges that would continue the slaughter of the unborn for another generation.
An honest, accurate assessment. We agree. : )
"Personally I don't like McCain very much and his 60% conservatism isn't anything that would make me want to endorse him at this point in time."
60% Conservatism is better than 100% Marxism. Can we also agree on that?
That would be nice. : )

The Romney-bots don't care if we lose, as long as they can move the party further left.
About the SCOTUS judges and other judges....
Romney would pick pro-abortion judges...
Remember he has often sworn to “uphold the law” etc...
And he loudly endorses “a woman’s right to choice”
Since Roe V Wade is the current law and Romney hides his pro-abortion stance behind that...
Romney would pick pro-abortion judges...
As he has done in the past...
And put Planned Parenthood staff members on health boards...
As he’s done in the past..
And push cheap abortions and manditory health insurance ...
As he’s done in the past...
Looky here...
Obama has some more ammo against Romney...
BOSTON — Civil liberties and Muslim groups criticized Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney on Thursday for suggesting that authorities should spend more time monitoring mosques and their attendees, possibly with wiretaps.
The comments came during a speech on domestic preparedness that Romney, a Republican, gave Wednesday at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank in Washington.
Romney, said to be considering a run for president in 2008, used the speech to offer suggestions for beefing up domestic intelligence-gathering, saying that too much effort is spent protecting buildings and too little on surveillance that might detect an attack in the planning stages.
After asking whether students from “terrorist-sponsored countries” should be tracked more closely in the United States, Romney asked: “How about people who are in settings — mosques, for instance — that may be teaching doctrines of hate and terror?
“Are we monitoring that?” Romney continued, according to a video posted on the foundation’s Web site. “Are we wiretapping? Are we following what’s going on? Are we seeing who’s coming in, who’s coming out?”

Do you think the Moon people wear weird underpants ?

Thanks Nana for the slander. A indirect quote from a third party does not make it legitimate! Sorry it doesn’t.
But hey, believe all the slander you want. It doesn’t matter what I believe now does it. The facts don’t matter when you want slander someone.
Pretend that you had about $2 million to spend and were eyeing a bid for president. What would you buy?
Would you give a comic $2,200 to write jokes so you could knock them dead at Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day breakfast? Would you pay $130,000 for the advice of leading political sage Mike Murphy? How about $5,700 to buy supporters copies of your memoir?
These are just some of the ways Governor Mitt Romney has plunked down cash from his state campaign account this year. Although the money was given to him for a run for governor, there are few limits on how he can spend it, and political observers say Romney is opening his checkbook like a savvy shopper.

Doesn't make it ILlegitimate; either.
Do you want to post the ACTUAL wording, from the source; or just complain about it?
Already a promising start to a good news item, at least they got that part right, we see it here, though sadly I don't think many, if any at all, are getting paid...
