I don’t think it’s scapegoating.
I think it’s Romney people trying to do as much damage to the person they see as their biggest obstacle to the 2012 nomination.

I hope not. We need Palin!

I initially liked Romney, but so many of the people I know and/or whose opinion I value believe he’s bad news and as phony as they come. I obviously am not comfortable with him anymore.

If I’m wrong I’d be happy to be corrected.

Here in Illinois, we ran a popular Mormon candidate who won his district - Peter Roskam.

I have worked with LDS volunteers for years. Many of them would not vote the McCain ticket here because they were very much in it for Romney from day one. I have heard much evidence of this not being an isolated case.

I would agree with you - I think that Team Romney (which I once fought for in the primaries) has been in this all along for Romney and only Romney. You can see what his adorers did in the Conservative press.

Perhaps I am angered by anecdotal evidence, both mine and other Freepers, but I am really thinking it would be impossible for me to take Romney seriously as a Presidential candidate any more.

Well, Mitt proved he can’t win a nomination, let alone an election.

Gee, let’s pick someone to the left of McCain in 2012, that’ll do it!

Exactly! After the Romney people joined the McCain campaign, leaks started everywhere. As long as it was just Fred/Rudy/Huckabee people -- no leaks or we would have all known about Sarah. Fred and Rudy were everywhere campaigning for the ticket while Romney showed up occasionally and then made the statement that Obama wasn't a socialist. No thanks to Romney!

Oh, its Romney, based on nothing but pulling it out of your behind? You are so broken up that people should make up rumors about Palin, you make up your own about Romney.

If you want to find something to attack Romney with, maybe you could find a fact, an event, a quote you could use? That would take work, because Romney has conspicuously supported McCain/Palin. Soooo instead... just make stuff up. Great.

And just what is Romney going to do these next four years? He has no position to speak from. He has never been a fund raiser as he finances his runs. He has no ideological viewpoint to spread as Ronald Reagan had. He has no record of delivering votes as Reagan had when he campaigned for GOPers around the country or as Richard Nixon did after losing Calif in 62.

What he seems to have is a mean spirited personality nd a sense of entitlement. Giuliani, Fred Thompson, and even mike huckabee were all over the map stumping for John McCain. Romney was rarely seen. He was bummed by the fact he was not the nominee and now he seeks to destroy Palin. he feels she is his rival for 2012. Hey Mitt, 2012?? You're not even on the roster.

[prairiebreeze]

Agreed.

[EverOnward]

Stop your lies. You “think” it was the Romney people. Guess again.
