Best of the BS is here:
Romney: "The Fed should continue to expand the money supply.
... We should also invest ... in ... combustion..."
Romney suggests printing more money and studying fire.

and I am through with all the losers who let McCain sail into the Republican nominee slot. Sarah was a breath of fresh air and those career politicians were too fond of the smoke filled back rooms of Washington to welcome her. I am not a Romney lover, but we have to stop tearing everyone down and find something positive to say.....whether it be a policy, idea, candidate or party.
I beg to differ on one point of your post above: You say, we have to stop tearing everyone down and find something positive to say.....
NO, now is the time to tear moderate big-government liberal Republicans down. We must purge the party of them when they threaten to attempt to "lead" the party direction. The admonition to "play nice" belongs on a kindergarten playround. It belongs far, far away from defending the freedom of America. Part of defending American freedom is chasing and hounding the big-government Mitt Romneys of the world out of the Republican party.
Reagan took the stage with a positive message.....yes, he said “tear down that wall”.....but he was not all negative and fighting. I see too much of that on FR. A positive message can purge us of the negative without fighting and alienating each other. and we need to unite and tear down the dems proposals and ideas with our own. we have a common enemy and it isn’t romney or mccain, it’s obama.
It appears that you categorize everything Romney proposed in one of three ways:
A) You agree with it, but because it is from him, you dismiss it as “gratuitous” and “obvious” (aka, ad hominem). (points 1, 4, 6, 8, and 9)
B) You reinterpret it, by assigning your own implied “code phrases”, and then argue against your own interpretation of what Romney said (also known as straw man argument). (points 1, 3, 5)
C) Or, you flat disagree. (points 2, 7)
All in all, if you could get over your hatefest, it would seem you actually agree with more of Romney’s proposed points than you disagree with.
I choose not to argue with fellow conservatives........it’s petty and accomplishes little. Proceed if you wish.
Um, you just proved my point.
Maybe you missed the “and/or” part of what I posted.
“”Republicans should also lay down a gauntlet: All new spending projects””
How about NO NEW spending projects Mitt!
Recently, Sen. John McCain joined whackjob Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) in issuing a report accusing Donald Rumsfeld, former Defense Department General Counsel Jim Haynes, and David Addington, Vice President Cheney’s chief of staff, of causing the torture of terrorist detainees.
McCain actually insinuated that Rumsfeld could be criminally liable for this “torture” of terrorists.
Yet blind-as-bat “conservatives” on FR are obsessed over Romney..... when McCain has done 500 times more damage to the conservative movement and to the US than Romney ever did in his worst day.
Obsessed anti-Romney types are more outraged over a few comments the man made years ago .... when the REAL outrage should be directed at McCain -— the candidate who set conservatism and AMERICA back 50 years.
As you said conservatives don't lie...ergo, you're no conservative. : )
Check out post #237.
Since he was out campaigning for John McCain, and therefore on team McCain/Palin, how would it have looked if Romney publicly disagreed with McCain about the bailout?
Note: Romney disagrees with the auto bailout.
Since failing companies and turning them around are Romney's forte, I think he's well aware of the perils of government intervention and Ronald Reagan's maxim (of everything he said the following is the phrase I heard most often from Mr. Reagan and can still well picture and hear him saying it, "Government is not the solution to the problem...Government IS the problem.").
You're assessment of Romney is incorrect. That IS your problem.
Why don't you send a letter to Ronald Reagan's son and lecture him about his positive assessment and support of Romney using his father's famous maxim. I'll bet you'd win him over with THAT one/sarc..lol!
I'm not a big fan of Fred Thompson's. His personality was/is frankly to dull and he was/is too lacking in energy to attract enough of the non-conservative vote to win him the presidency for starters. But my dislike for him would never prompt me to claim he wasn't conservative, nor would I spend hours on threads, ripping him to shreds. My points regarding him were made in several posts and thereafter I moved on. By far the vast majority of my time has been spent promoting the candidate I supported and still support, Mitt Romney.
Promoting your candidate is a far better way to spend your time, than to waste it destroying another man's candidate. All the posters on this thread who've made that point have it exactly right.
If Romney couldn't have been president, all else remaining the same, I wish it were Fred, or McCain or even Huck, I was complaining about now, rather than Obama. How about you? Would you take Romney over Obama?
Dr. Thomas Sowell is deadly opposed to these bailouts and government intervention. Yet Romney (as well as one or two others) was an acceptable candidate to him. How could that possibly be?
Team Romney will be remembered for its attacks on Gov.Palin and her children.
So you're left with accusing me of a "hatefest." Just like I thought.
Romney supporters, on the other hand ...
No discusson about Romney’s actual words and his proposal here because they run counter to limited government conservative principle. Instead, you toss a red herring into the mix to distract from the point at hand. You respond to my discussion of Romney by lambasting McCain ... whom I didn’t support and did not vote for in the primary.
... Who conveniently leave out the words immediately following, which have as high a praise for Rudy Giuliani. You LIE and MISLEAD when you imply that Reagan saw or sees Romney as a next Great Hope for the GOP. On the other hand, I notice you forget to mention that Reagan wrote of Palin that "his Dad was back!" He loves Palin.
Don't have time right now to respond to the rest of your post. Don't tell lies about Michael Reagan.
