Romney tops bestseller list

Mitt Romney's new book, "No Apology: The Case for American Greatness," will debut on top of the New York Times bestseller list due out March 21, a source tells me.

Romney's book tour has, so far, attracted pretty large crowds, serving -- along with the book sales -- to reassure his supporters that, though he may not draw Sarah Palin style hordes, he's a figure of genuine popular interest.

Whatttttt? You think the state legislature shoved Mitt Romney out of office with a 34% approval rating?

That was the voters that did that, Romney did a terrible job as a political leader.

[big'ol_freeper]

Piss on Romney and all his STATIST LOVING sycophants.

[50mm]

Democratic Legislature. Simple as that.

So here is Mitt vetoing that nasty democrat-passed socialized medicine bill. Notice how sad all the rats are.

[rintense]

Romney is a very solid conservative

Gun Grabber

Tax Hiker

Pro abortion

Pro gov't healthcare, including gov't funded aboritons

Yeah, that's a real solid conservative.

“There are a lot of bigots on this site. I’m not Mormon but I work with a lot of them and they are fine people.”

Speaking of bigotry, Truthguy, guess what every member of the Utah Congressional delegation has in common? Hint: they are not all Republicans.

I understand your panic being outed as a supporter of liberal statists. Life might become a bit uneasy on FR. Well Jack, I'll be all over your arse if you are pushing that SOBing statist Romney. And I can guarantee you Jim will be too. You may take us as intellectual lightweights that "are no match for you" but I guarantee you we'll bury your arse. Statist.

Wow, I'm scared!

So what you really want on this site is conformity. Wow, that really makes it interesting. Got to fall in line. No dissent allowed. Well I don't think most want this and I don't think Jim does either. Why are you so afraid of those who disagree with you? Afraid to have your views challenged? Well I'm not. I like a good debate. I stand behind my statements. I'm not even a Romney supporter thus far although I preferred him over John McCain. For the record in 2008 my first pick was Duncan Hunter. My second pick was Fred Thompson. So when it came down to Romney vs McCain I was for Romney. Simple as that. Is that so outrageous?

[rintense]

Every place Palin goes, she draws thousands. *SHE* was the reason so many people turned out to support McCain. And every TV show she's made an appearance on has #1 ratings. Her book was a record breaker.

Boy those Sarah fanatics sure do get around.

[Diogenesis]

You dont challenge. You dont disagree.
You dont have the guts, like cowardly, crying Mitt RomneyCARE.

You make unsubstantiated statements which are false statements
for Mitt RomneyCARE. When corrected you hide, and repeat
the false statements.

That makes you a TROLL, or a RomneyBOT, or both.

Hard to believe that more than two years have already passed since then, yet here are, with you still pushing Mitt Romney.

[Tex-Con-Man]

If I remember correctly, the NYT has their own “special sauce” formula for determining their “Bestsellers”. It does NOT rely solely on number of books sold.

In my opinion, with the right amount of money and influence, one could make #1 on the NYT’s bestsellers list without having sold the most number of books.

Yes that is what I hear from people I know who voted for Obama in 2008. Romney is the only republican they would consider voting for. And these people are not poor, they are fellow members at the golf club.

[Ripliancum]

Well, I guess this Politico article might explain the Mitt videos atop every thread.

Wow, I thought that you were a pro Romney guy, does that post mean that you have come to your senses and turned against him?

[ajay_kumar]

I am neither Christian or a Mormon. As a side line observer I did notice there are a lot of Mormon haters on this site.

[ajay_kumar]

I am pro-all republicans in general election.
I am open to all candidates during primaries.
Please make a good note of this so you know exactly
where I stand.

Make note of what? You didn't say anything.

You also did not answer me, why would you have posted such a damning anecdote about Mitt Romney and Obama voters, if you have not turned against Romney?

[Waryone]

This is a pro conservative site. Some republicans are conservative and they find support here. Some are liberal socialists who will be torn to shreds if their people look for support here. Mitt Romney is one of those liberal socialists who will be torn to shreds when his supporters try to prop him up.

It’s not personal. It’s not anti Mormon. It’s anti commie, anti liberal, anti socialist, anti marxist and anti statist. Religion has nothing to do with it.

So if you’re looking for pro republicans, go call the RNC. Here you’ll find conservatives. If you don’t like that, you’re in the wrong place.

[50mm]

Being against a pro-abortion, pro-homo-marriage, big nannny state liberal like Romney does not make one a Mormon hater.

I would argue that a true Mormon should be anti-Romney because the Mormon faith teaches that abortion is wrong and marriage is between a man and a woman.

I'm against the nutjob Pelosi and think Obama is Satan's spawn. Does that make me anti-Christian?

[Vigilanteman]

According to some of these geniuses, if you don't think Mitt Romney is worse than Obama, Osama and Satan combined, then you are an idiot and/or a Romneybot.

I've never seen so much bile spilt over a guy who is essentially a placeholder for the Bush family.
