Romney Suggests Palin 'Beautiful,' Not Influential

Thanks Ansel, I fail at pic posting, I was hoping someone would....;)

Romney made the list of “Time’s 50 Creepiest People”, along with Crispin Glover, Gary Busey and Moe Wanchuk from “Slap Shot”.

I don’t see anything particularly creepy about him other than his ability to out flip flop John Kerry.

BINGO. Exactly.

Election2008 Spoiler, GOP backstaber, Mitt Romney chortles,
as he inflicts his socialized medicine (HillaryCARE=ROmneyCARE)
upon the Massachusetts citizens without any of their votes.

"Hospital patients 'left in agony'"
"Patients were allegedly left screaming in pain and drinking from flower vases on a nightmare hospital ward.
Between 400 and 1,200 more people died than would have been expected at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust over three years, a damning Healthcare Commission report said.
The watchdog's investigation found inadequately trained staff who were too few in number, junior doctors left alone in charge at night and patients left without food, drink or medication as their operations were repeatedly cancelled.
Patients were left in pain or forced to sit in soiled bedding for hours at a time and were not given their regular medication, the Commission heard.
Receptionists with no medical training were expected to assess patients coming in to A&E, some of whom needed urgent care.
Sir Bruce Keogh, medical director of the NHS, said there had been a "gross and terrible breach" of patients' trust and a "complete failure of leadership".
The Healthcare Commission's chairman Sir Ian Kennedy said the investigation followed concerns about a higher than normal death rate at the Trust, which senior managers could not explain.
He said: "The resulting report is a shocking story. Our report tells a story of appalling standards of care and chaotic systems for looking after patients. These are words I have not previously used in any report.
"There were inadequacies in almost every stage of caring for patients. There was no doubt that patients will have suffered and some of them will have died as a result."
Julie Bailey, 47, was so concerned about the care being given to her 86-year-old mother Bella at Stafford Hospital that she and her relatives slept in a chair at her bedside for eight weeks.
She said: "We saw patients drinking out of..."

"Paramedics told: 'Let accident victims die if they want to' in new row over patient rights (UK)"
Health Service paramedics have been told not to resuscitate terminally-ill patients who register on a controversial new database to say they want to die.
It has been set up by the ambulance service in London for hundreds of people who have only a few months to live so that they may register their 'death wishes' in advance.
It is believed to be the first in the country, but other trusts around the country are expected to follow suit to comply with Government guidelines which state that patients' wishes should be taken into account, even at the point of death.
Patients' groups and doctors have welcomed the scheme, but it has met opposition from pro-life groups who say it violates the sanctity of life.
The system would come into play if a cancer patient, for example, was in serious pain and rang 999 for help to alleviate the suffering.
But if the paramedics arrived and the patient was close to death, he or she would not be resuscitated if such a request was registered on the database.
This would also be the case if a patient on the database was being transferred between hospitals, and had a heart attack.
Dominica Roberts from the Pro-Life Alliance said: 'This is very sad and very dangerous. It's another step along the slippery slope, at the bottom of which is euthanasia as we see in Holland. 'Paramedics should be there to save lives. They should not be there to let patients die. The medical profession should not agree with someone's belief that their life is worthless.'"

"National Health Preview - The Massachusetts debacle, coming soon to your neighborhood."
"Three years ago, the former Massachusetts Governor had the inadvertent good sense to create the "universal" health-care program that the White House and Congress now want to inflict on the entire country.
It is proving to be instructive, as Mr. Romney's foresight previews what President Obama, Max Baucus, Ted Kennedy and Pete Stark are cooking up for everyone else.
In Massachusetts's latest crisis, Governor Deval Patrick and his Democratic colleagues are starting to move down the path that government health plans always follow when spending collides with reality -- i.e., price controls.
As costs continue to rise, the inevitable results are coverage restrictions and waiting periods. It was only a matter of time.

They're trying to manage the huge costs of the subsidized middle-class insurance program that is gradually swallowing the state budget.
The program provides low- or no-cost coverage to about 165,000 residents, or three-fifths of the newly insured, and is budgeted at $880 million for 2010, a 7.3% single-year increase that is likely to be optimistic.
The state's overall costs on health programs have increased by 42% (!) since 2006.

What really whipped along RomneyCare were claims that health care would be less expensive if everyone were covered.
But reducing costs while increasing access are irreconcilable issues.
Mr. Romney should have known better before signing on to this not-so-grand experiment, especially since the state's "free market" reforms that he boasts about have proven to be irrelevant when not fictional.
Only 21,000 people have used the "connector" that was supposed to link individuals to private insurers."

A Very Sick Health Plan; Bay State’s ‘Grand Experiment’ Fails [RomneyCare]
"The Daily News Record, Harrisonburg, Va. - 2009-03-31 "
"For folks increasingly leery of President Obama’s plan to radically overhaul America’s health-care system,
or 17 percent of the nation’s economy, all this could hardly have come at a better time —
that is, fiscal troubles aplenty within Repubican Mitt Romney’s brainchild, Massachusetts’ “grand experiment” in “universal” health care."

"Initiated on Mr. Romney’s gubernatorial watch in 2006, this “experiment” has fallen on hard times, and predictably so.
Even though the Bay State commenced its program with a far smaller percentage of uninsured residents than exists nationwide,
“RomneyCare” is threatening to bankrupt the state. Budgeted for Fiscal Year 2010 at $880 million,
or 7.3 percent more than a year ago, this plan, aimed at providing low- or no-cost health coverage to roughly 165,000 residents,
has caused Massachusetts’ overall expenditures on all health-related programs to jump an astounding 42 percent since 2006.

So what does Mr. Romney’s successor, Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick, propose as a remedy for these skyrocketing costs?
Well, whaddya think? The standard litany of prescriptions (no pun intended) — price controls and spending caps, for a start, and then, again predictably, waiting periods and limitations on coverage.
As in Europe and Canada, so too in Massachusetts. And, we feel certain, everyone from Mr. Romney to Mr. Patrick said, “It would never happen here.”
But then, such things are inevitable when best-laid plans, with all their monstrous costs, run smack-dab into fiscal reality.

"Dem Congresswoman Admits Obama Health Care Plan Will Destroy Private Health Insurance Industry"

she [gov Palin] would kick her [catcher mitt] ass...

it would be funny to watch her cry too...

“Hunter/Demint. No chics for CIC.”

Was that a sarcastic comment or have you now revealed why you dislike Governor Palin?

Here is a 150 seconds from Rushes show today praising the Reaganesque Palin against Romney and Jeb.

Palin is a lady, and I expect Mitt if he loses out to her in the primaries will still be a gentleman and recommend Palin.

But we are going to call a RINO, a RINO.

Romney Suggests Palin 'Beautiful,' Not Influential

Google search: "1 - 10 of about 22,900,000 for "Sarah Palin""

Google search: "Results 1 - 10 of about 10,100,000 for "Joe Biden""

Google search: "Results 1 - 10 of about 2,620,000 for "Mitt Romney""

I wonder how aware Romney is of his relative presence on the Internet, where Governor Palin has more positive hits than Biden and Romney have total hits. As for influence, Palin was not a hit just because she's beautiful. Voters have no doubt that she is pro-life and means it. We have no doubt that she is pro-Constitution, including the Second Amendment, and means it. We have no doubt that she has executive experience and has actually governed responsibly and successfully.

That was a response for someone suggesting a Palin/Bachmann ticket (two ladies).

I would feel far safer with these two chicks in the White House, than with any combination of Obama, Biden, and Pelosi in the succession.

~~~~~rubbing hands together~~~~~

I Can’t wait!!!!!

No way. Romney will have the liberal MSM support, but he can’t win the nomination, any more than he could last time. At most, he will be a spoiler like he was last time, attacking the early front runner with lies and damaging their campaign.

50-50 ain’t bad ...

SnakeDoc

It sure didn’t sound that way. The comment was, “No chicks for CIC”. I took that to mean, “no chicks for commander in chief”.

I do agree that Palin/Bachmann as President and VP would be better than what we have now. But that is such a huge understatement as to be a bit of overkill (yet another understatement). ;)

Maybe Romney is just looking for a third wife. Or fourth? I forget how many he has. I bet he has all of 'em wave those hankies!

Mitt and Ann Romney were married 40 years ago. She is his first and only wife.

I would say "nice try," but it wasn't even that.

What campaign? As far as I know she hasn’t even declared for a second term as governor yet, but when people follow the truth about Palin vs the NYTimes you find out she is a true conservative governor... who has actually set budgets and stuck to them.

That’s fine. So when and if she decides to run, you can work for her or you can just advocate on her behalf.

From what I’ve read it does appear that there are conservatives that are against Governor Palin and are actively spreading untruths about her. Not because she isn’t conservative enough but because they are campaigning for someone else.

If she is Margaret Thatcher, part II, I’m all over it.

This ongoing idea that the entire GOP still needs to expand upon their total voters base by moving even more to the political left has got to officially end, if the entire GOP doesn’t really want to die. Conservatism will always be in trouble and always be a political minority, when it continuously battles against all leftist politics from BOTH major political parties. I don’t see any serious end to this ongoing “GOP Big Tent” political trend anytime soon, and, unfortunately, all leftist politics will remain in political power because of it.
