RINO liar, chameleon, carpetbagger, backstabber, socialist Mitt Romney

“Make all the promises you have to...”

Reeling congressional Republicans today launched a new effort days after their latest setback -- the defection of Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, putting Democrats within reach of potentially being able to push legislation through the Senate without a single Republican vote.
House GOP Whip Eric Cantor announced that the National Council for a New America will hold its first event on Saturday with former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, who ran last year and could run again in 2012; Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, another possible 2012 contender; former Governor Jeb Bush, the former president's brother; and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, a former national GOP chairman.
The council appears a way to rebut Democratic portrayals of the GOP as the "party of no" by pulling together a cohesive policy strategy by the opposition.

Governor Haley Barbour — meh
Governor Jeb Bush — meh
Governor Bobby Jindal — Good
Senator John McCain — Crap
Governor Mitt Romney — NO WAY IN HELL
It is really rather humorous to watch them try to appease all of us with their stupidity and arrogance of trying to feed us that same old SWILL under a new label.
Unless we get some that will return to the REAGAN republicans, I say NO DEAL.
Alas, we keep telling them but they still don't get it.
Could these people get any more tone deaf?
Republicans don’t need to remove ideological filters, they need to build a honking huge stone wall with REPUBLICAN IDEOLOGY painted on it in enormous indelible Day-Glo colors and surrounded with punji sticks to keep “moderates” from breaching the wall.
Boiling oil wouldn’t be a bad idea, either

Well said. Let’s start the fires.
The RINO Romney thing is getting a big old. The guy could have completely sold out after he didn’t get the nomination last time, but he hasn’t. He’s been rock solid in his criticisms of Obama and the liberals in Congress.

Romney is NO dummy. He knows he has to keep up the facade in order to have a chance at the nom in 2012. The man is no conservative.
I feel the same way, that speech told me he is very very meek, to passive. I don’t get a good feeling about him. Another Bush redo to me, although I think Bush is stronger of the two, like Jindal, he was not a speaker.
Mitt might sound good, but he doesn’t believe ANYTHING he says and will say ANYTHING to get elected. Once elected, he will do ANYTHING to get re-elected.

Yep. He is the epitome of the ends justify the means.
The only set back I see there is RINO Romney setting back Conservatism to the back of the bus...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Yep. I am not going to lie.
I don’t LIKE Romney because he is NOT A CONSERVATIVE. I don’t TRUST Romney because he is Mormon. I know waaaay to much about them.
Sorry he doesn’t fit your holier than thou attitude... I remember numnuts like you complaining about Reagan...

If you turn on a porch light all the bugs will come out to circle around it. Without a great shining light on the hill like Ronald Reagan around to keep them focused and in line they will wander off to wherever the lights are brightest. In the case of most of the individuals listed in the article that would be any camera light, anywhere, anytime.

ROFL. I like Jindal. I don’t like Mitt.
More like i don’t fit Mitt’s “holier than thou” attitude.
Romney is no Reagan. To compare the two is to insult the greatest conservative leader of the 20th Century.

They might be bright, but they speak the language of socialism. And I think we all know by now that is not a winning formula unless you really are a socialist.
I wish McLame were not part of this. He is old news.
But Jindal, Romney, Barbour...those are good voices to have front and center.
Lets not even look at his record.
Romney is the most divisive figure in the Republican Party.
The face of your party should not be someone that half your constituents revile.
I think this is more about policy, in which case Romney’s inclusion is appropriate.
He is very articulate on economic matters, and his National Review column about Obama’s reluctant defense of global liberty was spot on.
I don’t have a problem with divisiveness. I would argue that Palin is the most divisive figure in the party, but it has had positive effects. She has effectively rinsed the party of some of it’s weaker elements, e.g. David Brooks, David Frum, Peggy Noonan, etc.
As I understand it, Jeb Bush changed his mind on offshore drilling after all those oil rigs came through Katrina without fouling up the Gulf of Mexico.

Too little too late he is finished.
