Bravo.
Besides all of Romney’s other obvious flaws, after the Stock Market scandal does ANYONE remotely believe he could elected?
No way. He would have been MONDALED if he had been the nominee.
McCain should come out and denounce this crap, but I bet he doesn’t.
So sorry to disagree with you, but Huckabee helped to get us McCain in the first place! I am never going to forgive him for that one. He is nothing more than a populist syncophant. Let him have his little show on Fox, play his guitar. That’s where he belongs right now.
Over the next few years the conservative movement needs to rebuild. Palin or Romney? Who will draw people to fundraisers, conventions, etc?
It is true! I know personally some of the backstabbing of the other candidates by Romney’s people. I don’t think for a minute that he did not know what was happening.
The Romney/Bush people from Jeb and GW have been leaking against Palin from Day One. There was a meeting in June with Bush/Cheney/Romney to try and put pressure on McCain to pick Romney as VP. I was told by a reliable source that never was going to happen. For months the Romney surrogates pushed for him to be the VP candidate and you can bet money he would have undermined McCain.
Remember that Romney was in the meeting of economic people that suggested McCain suspend his campaign and fly back to DC and ask the President to have a meeting which McCain and Boehner were backstabbed by Paulson/Bush when they let Obama run the meeting and Paulson made sure Obama had the House GOP plan which he proceeded to tear apart.
Connect the dots!
Yeah, I’m sure conservatives would have turned out in droveeds for the socialist Romney, especially after they started running all the videos of his advocating abortion, homosexual rights, gun control etc.
If you believe Romney is a conservative, you probably believe that Obama had no idea Rev Wright was a racist.
This is second hand or third hand information. Kind of like someone saying to you "you should have heard what they were saying about you" because they want to start an argument. The person who wrote this should have kept it to themselves, they are being played in my opinion.
I never liked Romney, and not just because of “Romney Care” in Massachusetts.
I believe she is.
You've got to be joking. Palin was one of the ONLY things McCain got right in this campaign. Name ONE VP pick who could have raked in the votes like Palin did. It wasn't enough to win, sure, but she generated enthusiasm that we haven't seen since Reagan. No one was going to get fired up about the Maverick/Helmet ticket, face it.
Palin will be back. McCain is history. Romney has crapped his pants with this backstabbing nonsense.
Agree with all you say Owen except what happened in the primary sealed our doom. We just had the wrong guy forced on us.
The real question is, will we figure it out?
Nina’s husband was part of Romney’s national campaign.
I do believe his staffers were/are doing this however, I seriously doubt he is behind it.
One of the big reasons Romney didn’t make it was because of the MSM. They took him out early. The MSM then promoted 0 to such a degree that now he IS POTUS.
Do I really have to say it? Don’t believe everything you read.
This election wasn’t about who won the debates or who had the experience. The press saw to that. Honest reporting would have given both to McCain hands down.
It was about who had the curb appeal, who was a novelty, who could make the world love America again, and who was perceived as more like the middle clas than an elitist new englander like George Bush.
Romney loses on all counts. Plus many Americans think of Mormonism as a cult. Unfortunate but true. 20,000 people at a time in middle America wouldn’t have turned out to see and hear Romney give a speech.
Romney will never win a national election. Never.
Even if Romney is behind these attacks on Palin, its nice to have a Republican who will not pull punches and can fight (no matter how "swarmy") unlike Bush I, Bush II, Dole and McCain.
If Mitt ever runs, I will stay home.
Noob ... are you sure you know who you are responding to?
Go back and read #61 again ... the easily grasped point of citing Murphy's Globe gotcha is that Romney ... has proven incapable of hiring nothing more than double-crossing Hessian mercenaries to run his national political aspirations ... something we can do without in the next conservative candidate ...
I still do. But not the Romney campaign or Mitt himself. (Methinks George would be ashamed.)
