Romney 2.0: Mr. Fix-It

"Now, two weeks before publication of "No Apology: The Case for American Greatness," Romney is pivoting again -- this time pitching himself as a problem solver whose background as a successful financier makes him the ideal candidate to rescue the ailing U.S. economy.

But the real problem, said the paper, is "the real Mitt Romney — Harvard MBA, political scion, hard-working businessman, super-wealthy master of Wall Street offerings, devout Mormon — might not be what Republican primary voters actually want."

Even a pickup truck and Cosmo spread could not save Mitt.

LOL...post of the day

But screaming insults at everyone who ever supported Romney

Funny, the way I see it, he is posting to a Romney supporter on this very thread of today, we haven't travelled back in time to some distant thread.

How clever. You can quote the same statement multiple times to avoid the simple questions which have been put to you.

Have the last word. I'm off this thread. Not because I agree with you. Not because you've won the argument, but simply because it is not worth continuing.

When and if the press ties to do for Romney what they did for McCain, people like you will be dismissed as lunatics and people like me will be the voices of reason to show why candidates like Sarah Palin are better choices. That's not bragging, as we would sure like to have some help, but that's just the way it will be.

The question is "Will there be enough of us?"

Happy hating!

What is clever is you ignoring the owner of freerepublic describing troll behavior and you doing that troll behavior, and then you labeling us that call you on that troll behavior, trolls.

You will never win the argument for Mitt Romney, the guy is three kinds of sleaze and he won't wash on this conservative site and it's "fundy bigots".

Happy hating!

The ubiquitous romneybot tagline.

Vigilanteman: : I'm not going to "prove" that many
Freepers hatred of Mitt Romney are motivated primarily
because of his religion because anyone who performs a
simple search of the same can plainly see it."

No. You are not doing it because you cannot.
You also did not answer the question about Romney
for the same reason, which is:
you are now exposed as a RomneyBOT troll.

Vig-man grandly takes on an "above it" approach and tries to appeal to Ans, saying he doesn't think everyone "hates" Romney because of his religion, though "a good many do" but not he himself; then tries to build a bridge saying that he, too, like Ans, is descended from Rhode Islands' Roger Williams, and adds: "But I will also observe that tossing around insults like "Romneybot" are not particularly helpful in winning over some of the very people we need to end the reign of King Barack."

Ans shoots back and scores dead on: "Right, from the guy that attacked freerepublic as “fundy bigots”.

Atta boy, Ans! I think your radar is pretty sharp at catching stealth Romney supporters, as I have a hunch Vig-man is. I may be wrong, and don't have time to do an "in forum" research to see what he's posted in the past in OBJECTION to Romney's politics, but his posts here sure looked to me like a Mormon bigot victicrat. I read the Romney threads regularly, and the number of times I've seen Romney bashers (I am proudly among them) object to Romney because he's a Mormon, can be counted on one hand. Like me, most who aggressively oppose Romney do so on the basis that he's a Trojan horse to Republican principle; it's his big government philosophy I object to -- I don't give a rusty rat's patoot about his religion, and neither does the VAST majority of Romney opponents on this forum. (By the way, why is it bad to call someone a "Romney bot" but okay to call someone who opposes Romney a "Romney hater"?)

Likewise, the number of times I've seen Romney supporters claim that Romney "haters" (a word chosen expressly to imply irrational dislike for the man) only object to Romney because he's a Mormon, I'd have to use a super-computer to tally.

"Mitt Romney is determined to block conservatism and to weaken America, there is a reason no Romney man has ever served our nation in uniform during the families 170 years here.

As time goes by watch how his supporters attack America and it’s people in their efforts to push Romney forward, Romney left the Republican party over the election of President Reagan, then in 2007 Romney spent months spreading the falsehood that Reagan was adamantly pro abortion, whether attacking Jesse Helms, or the Contract with America, or Reagan himself, Romney makes clear that he is the enemy to conservatives and America.

Well said. Romney also needs to keenly realize that we live in a Christian Nation. Romney and his cult are not Christian. For me (and for so very many millions) this is the leading NO reason.

We should not have any mormons in political leadership positions. Sorry (not). Reid will wash-out soon and so will any other cultists.

The ships are being righted.

Take a hike Mitt, or play your game on the DimocRAT side.

10 Questions for the Mittster........here.

The 11th and 12th questions (which should be asked #1 and #2).

• "What do you see in that con man sheister Joe Smith?"
• "If you ever rise to political power, what part of planet Kolob will you be a god on?"
  
  Stay out, Romney. You will only be throwing more money down the tubes. Join a great charity. Stay away from politics. Please.

Do you realize that this is News/Activism, not religion?
