Mitt is the Democrats new favorite Republican. Expect lavish praise of Mitt from the news media.
Notice how Mitt was all over the media with his new book shortly before the bill was passed? We haven't heard from him since... is he in a bunker somewhere? ;-)
Of course, Mitt was snookered by those hacks. Well, that's the excuse. And, if so, he is not capable of world stage negotiations if the hack, halitosis, high school drop out legislature ran rings around him.
So, Mitt loves, just loves Federal subsidies for various schemes. It seems to be his fix all solution.
Romney is a Republican that Democrats & State Media can love.
Conservatives on the other hand...
I agree. I don’t despise Romney, but I don’t trust him, and he is not our man.
What is most surprising here is that the NYT is coming after Romney.
Yes, Romney does seem to have a good grasp on economics, but don’t put him at the top; Treasury sounds like the place for him.

&&&
FNC has been pushing him like all get out.
Fifth in line of presidential succession? That's too damn'd close.
Mitt for absolutely nothing!
Thank you FRiend! Good comment about Mitt’s dad not being able to run - so true.
Exactly - where’s Mitt now? Hiding.
Mitt’s good at raising money - let him raise money for the GOP. If/when the GOP wins in 2012, give him an ambassadorship for being a good fundraiser, because that’s as far as he’s going to go.
Just because there has been some confusion of the two of us by other freepers and that people think this may be an ‘April Fools’ on my part, I want to state for the record:
I DO loathe Romney. And I don’t see him bein electable in any way.
I will leave you to your thread, now, sir.
And Romney has pretty darn recent flip-flops ( Not just RomneyCare..) swinging from his neck.
fwiw-
Republicans cannot credibly run on repealing Obamacare with Romney as the nominee.
This is the bottom line of a Romney nomination.
All fair points. But still, Reagan did have being a Democrat, and a Union Leader at that (SAG0 around his ‘neck’ and did pretty well...(intentional understatement)
That works.
“Yes, Mass now has the fastest increase of premiums in the country, and has gotten near a billion dollars of federal tax money for its scheme.:
Say if all the states got an average one billion for federal health care subsidies of their own programs. That’s fifty billion dollars, or 500 billion over ten years, a little less than Zeros two trillion.
The scheme, like a lit match in a hay barn, is just starting.
"All fair points. But still, Reagan did have being a Democrat, and a Union Leader at that (SAG0 around his ‘neck’ and did pretty well...(intentional understatement)"
That is a silly comparison, people in modern times after the 1960s, Vietnam, Nixon, and roeVwade, and Jimmy Carter did not confuse coming of age in the Roosevelt years and registering democrat and then endorsing republican presidents from the 1950s on and then formally getting around to switching your registration during the JFK pre Vietnam years as anything unusual, or something to be condemned.
On the other hand, being liberal after the 1960s, Vietnam, roeVwade, Jimmy Carter, the Reagan Presidency, the 1994 Republican revolution, the Clinton/Gore years, the 2000 election, and the 9/11 attack and the war on terrorism started, is an entirely different story.
The fact that Romney deliberately left the Republican party because of Reagan and was against the 1994 Republican revolution and was fund raising for Democrats just before he re registered as Republican in 1993, and then was proven to have still been doing fund raising for abortions and Planned Parenthood in 1994, and his continued leftist political activism and causes for more than a decade after that, in fact all the way until he switched to running for the 2008 Republican primary, is a whole different story.
My comparison was to show others have overcome what was thought to be a ‘deathweight around the neck’. As I clearly noted, I’m not comparing the two men, nor the two era’s.
But you know that. You just go into a head spinning Linda Blair type hysterical rages whenever ‘Romney’ is mentioned.
Its okay, I do the same thing...when Reid, Pelosi or Owe-bama are brought up.
