Romney Book a Fitting Prelude to 2012 Presidential Run (BARF ALERT)

His supporters say the book will show Romney is more thoughtful than Sarah Palin.

BY KENNETH T. WALSH

Friends of Mitt Romney say his upcoming book, No Apology: The Case for American Greatness, is a lengthy and detailed explanation of his philosophy and should be a fitting prelude to a 2012 presidential campaign if Romney decides to run. The book, which comes out March 2, seems designed to position Romney as a thoughtful conservative who has ruminated carefully about the major issues of the day, ranging from the global economy to national security.

Romney supporters say it will serve as a conservative contrast to the views of President Obama but also will show Romney to be far more thoughtful than former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who is also considering a 2012 run. Her book, Going Rogue, is a bestseller, but it has apparently done little to improve her reputation as a thinker and a leader who can reach out beyond her conservative base and master the complicated challenges of national office.

Yeah, and Obama’s supporters said there would be rainbows and unicorns that shed gold and silver dander. It isn’t to barf but to laugh.

More thoughtful? What the heck is that supposed to mean. What an odd statement. Are they saying she is not thoughtful..They must have read a few tweets from SarahPalinRadio, she was interviewed on that station and it will be played tomorrow..she said in response to Glenn Beck saying it was Romney’s turn to be the nominee, Sarah said “I don’t agree with Glenn, its NOT Romney’s turn”

How can this book show he is a thoughtful conservative? When he is neither. The only thing he thinks about is what position will he take today, and he is not a conservative.

So his book makes him out to be a better woman than Sarah Palin?

This is the new anti-Palin talking point from the Romneybots, Huckacopkillerlovers, McCainiacs and other RINOS: Thoughtful conservative. Expect the MSM to run with it.

Barf.

Did Glenn Beck say it’s Romney’s TURN to be the Republican nominee?

What happened to his thridy party fantasy? Gone with Sarah statement that she’s a Republican and remaining a Republican?

ROFL

The only way people will wait for hours in the cold to get one of his books is if they show up at the wrong location.

seems designed to position Romney as a thoughtful conservative

He is thoughtful alright, and a real right wing kind of guy, except for the left of center stuff, and the Planned Parenthood fundraising, and the giving of all the money solely to Democrat candidates for that period, and the voting for Paul Tsongas, the year before he became a Republican, after switching from his Republican registration to protest President Reagan.

To quote the great conservative Mitt Romney himself.

Mitt Romney: "I'm not a partisan politician. My hope is that, after this election, it will be the moderates of both parties who will control the Senate, not the Jesse Helmses."

Mitt Romney: "I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush."

Mitt Romney:"These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense," "They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people."

"I was not planning on signing up for the military. It was not my desire to go off and serve in Vietnam..."

Go away, Romney, we don’t need another McCain running.

Duncan Hunter/Sarah Palin, whichever way you want to mix it up, now that is a conservative ticket.

Its posted here, its about a 10 minute video, of him on the radio talking about his interview with Sarah
http://www.conservatives4palin.com/2010/01/glenn-beck-on-his-interview-with.html
He mentions that its Romney’s turn to be the nominee. Glenn is such a flip flopper, first he says that he wants a 3rd party to happen(I guess he wants the Dems to have power forever) then he thinks its Romney’s turn in 2012

Starting at about 0:40. He was referring, somewhat contemptuously, to the Republican's habit picking of whoever's turn it is next like when they picked Dole.
