Tell me again why Romney is considered a conservative? I would really like to know.
Ping!!!
Romney is barely tolerable. Mark Sanford would be way better.
"For the last several years, we’ve heard liberals moaning about the 700 billion dollars that have been spent over six years to win freedom in Iraq. They have now spent more than that in 30 days."Great shot! All of that whining being done by Democrats and in one fell swoop they spent more.
"I am pleased that our troops will be coming home from Iraq. But let there be no confusion: it is in spite of Barack Obama’s stance on Iraq, not because of it, that the troops are coming home in victory!"Eat that President Barry. He did everything he could to prevent our victory and now he is reaping the benefit of those whose dedication to our nation and our military brought success to Iraq.
"He’s also promised to close down Guantanamo, without giving the slightest indication of the next stop for the killers being held there now. That decision, too, has received the predictable applause from certain law professors and editorial boards. But here’s the problem. That is the very kind of thinking that left America vulnerable to the attacks of September 11th."The third best shot.
Or maybe they were bought off too, along with the National Review, Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingrahm, Ann Coulter, etc, etc, etc.
All bought off, all supported Mitt.
Methinks you spend too much time inside a Free Republic bubble of “my conservatism is the only conservatism”
We certainly deserve what we have with Zero with the conservative spit we have today.
Dropping chaff and flares.... now....sir. ;-)
Now if he would have delivered a “shot” at himself for supporting tbe billionaire bailout in October (which, unlike Romney, MANY Republicans opposed), he’d deserve some modest respect. Failing that, he should be ruled out for any further consideration.
Agreed.
But we deserve what we get!
I loathe Romney but couldn’t care less whether he is a Mormon, Buddhist or Unitarian. The main objection to him is that he is an opportunistic socialist through and through.
Just say NO to the lying phony who single handedly delivered gay marriage to the people’s republic of taxachusetts and the United States. No more RINOs and especially no to Romney.
Hmmm Mark Sanford? No thanks I'll pass on Governors that get bullied by women. Sorry getting pushed around by a liberal extremist like Jennifer Granholm does not fill me with confidence that he can stand up to Obama.
I don’t support Romney because he supported liberal policies in Massachusetts. This does not lend itself to Romney having principles. He changed his mind when he thought he might have a chance at the Republican nomination in 2008.
Again a glaring lack principles.
How about the never of him to personally attack Governor Palin. And he does it right away. Basically gets up on stage, says hello, it’s good to be here, and then goes right after her. And personally. First he basically states flat out she’s not a conservative leader and calls her out for not being there(Of course, it’s real easy for Mitt to be there when he bailed on MA after 1 term and doesn’t have a day job nowadays). Then he basically says she’s a money grubbing attention seeker after an 11M dollar book deal. As if that wasnt enough, he twists the knife further by remining his audience ever so subtly that he’s loaded by saying that when asked about about his 11M book deal, he couldn’t spare the cash. I haven’t seen a politician from MA go after a woman like this since Teddy left Mary Jo in the car.
I always knew there was something about him that rubbed me the wrong way. A real man, a real republican, a real conservative, doesn’t show up at the first conservative gathering since the elction when we’re supposed to come together and unite, and use it to single out and launch an attack on someone in his own party. Of Course, Mitt proudly boasted of how as a grown man from 33-41 he was an independent during the Reagan years. Mitt isn’t fit to shine Dutch’s boots.
I mean, you can go through all of Ronald Reagan’s CPAC speeches and not once does he call out another Republican by name and attack them, and in so personal a manner. Not once.
He doesn’t even go after Obama in a personal manner.
The rest of the speech was fine as it goes, but that jibe was totally uncalled for and beneath him.
Yeah, well you keep linking to a video that doesn’t exist. So who knows what really happened.
Plus, he never said “Rush Limbaugh” is an idiot.
With these values, as you stated them, could he even win Massachusetts? He probably won’t win too many other places.
I realize that Romney is your guy, I appreciate that, but he doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in h$ll of winning the nomination in 2012 unless the GOP completely loses their collective minds before then.
