Mitt Romney would have broken Barack Obama like a cheap toy.

Despite the image problems facing the Republican Party, the former Massachusetts Governor would have conquered Obama without breaking a sweat. In a time of economic turmoil, voters would have turned to Romney to steer the country through choppy fiscal waters.

Romney was the thinking man’s choice for the GOP nomination. A success in both the business and political worlds, Romney presented the best opportunity to revive the Reagan vision in years. Like Obama, Romney was a handsome, well-spoken, highly intelligent figure who held out hope for a positive future.

It’s a deep shame that Romney couldn’t seal the deal in the GOP primaries. His exit from the race was a harsh blow to the Republican Party and to the country itself. Today, conservatives are questioning whether Obama will govern from the center or from the hard left. Had Romney been the GOP nominee, no one would have had an opportunity to ask that question.

Romney was a dynamic, visionary leader in the private and public sectors, a big-picture thinker and a committed conservative. As President, he would have stimulated the economy, reinforced the country’s security bulwarks and advanced the goals of those who believe in a culture of life. In addition to maintaining the support of the GOP base, he would have easily attracted moderates and independents, thus denying Obama the Presidency.

Remember Romney’s soul-stirring speech on faith and his peerless performances in the GOP primary debates? Imagine how Romney would have performed against Obama in the Presidential debates. He would have disciplined Obama, pointing out the inherent foolishness of his economic positions and ridiculing his liberal vision of the federal judiciary. Obama would have felt like he came out on the bad end of a Chicago street fight.

The connections between the attacks on Gov.Palin by the
minions of Romney have already been posted.

It is obvious you are full of hot air, and are now caught
bloviating, protecting an abuser and liar - Mitt Romney.

Yeah, lots of unproven allegations by unnamed sources have been posted. Forgive me if I'm not impressed.

McCain may be a flawed candidate but so was Slick Willard. The guy chickened out of re-election for Governor of MA after just one term of promoting liberalism (i.e Romneycare). Slick Willard is a big flip-flopper. First he championed abortion rights and gun control. Now he turned Right in those positions when he ran for President. You can’t trust anything he says. I wouldn’t be surprised if he converts to Catholicism in an effort to win the Midwest. The only people who support Slick Willard are people on the Romney payroll.
