Mitt Romney: The Wrong Man, The Wrong Message, The Wrong Time

Whenever anyone mentions the 2012 election, inevitably the name of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney becomes a topic of conversation. And when it comes to polling data, Romney is often seen as a front-runner, forecasted to be stronger than the current occupant of the Oval Office, Barack Obama.

Increasingly, many of those in the Republican Party think Mitt is the GOP’s “go-to” guy in the next election.

I guess you’ll just have to pardon me for failing to drink the Kool-Aid regarding the former governor. I just think it’s about time somebody stated the truth about Gov. Romney.

Mitt Romney is the wrong guy, at the wrong time, carrying the wrong message for America!

[Clintons-B-Gone]

I am constantly amazed to see Republicans supporting this man.

[driftdiver]

I looked up the definition of RINO in the dictionary; they had a picture of Romney.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Me too.

Why?

This slick prick ought to take a clue from Ceausescu and get out while he's ahead.

Al Sharpton has got a better shot at the nomination.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Establishment Republicans are totally disconnected from the grassroots. Keep it mind that not long ago they had no real problem with Bloomberg in the party.

[sionnsar]

Should say something about who’s running the party.

[Jim Robinson]

ObamaCare = RomneyCare!!

No more RINOs!!

Rebellion is brewing!!

[Fred]

They are being bought off, that is why they support Myth.

[Magic Fingers]

“Establishment Republicans are totally disconnected from the grassroots.”

Bears repeating x10.

Although he’s clearly better than Obama,

I submit that at this point Romney would be worse than the Kenyan because he would have a Congress that will not oppose him so much as this Congress is opposing the Marxist-in-Chief.He will maintain the Mussulman's programs and will propose more of his own. He is a proponent of Strong Man history i.e. it is Strong Men who take control who move the tides of history. He will put coarse filters on the tide of sewage, call it rollback, and open new pipes.

He socialized medicine in his state - it failed. Anyone who wants to socialize anything is a socialist.

It’s complicated, but Mitt’s MA legacy: forced universal healthcare on every MA resident — (get a healthcare plan or pay a fine, up to $10,000, or the state will attach your tax refund, if any, your bank account, and/or slap your sorry butt in jail!) is the stinking albatross around his neck. His Mormon religion was hard for some voters to come to terms with anyway, but MA healthcare mess is the deathknell to his Presidential ambitions — especially in the light of Obamacare, which is modeled after Mitt’s MA plan...only worse.

[C19fan]

I don’t get it too. Romney is such a phony.

[Chickensoup]

Mit Romney The Olympia Snowe/Susan Collins school of RINO

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Close the damn primaries, all of them, and we’ll get the RIGHT person for the job.

Exactly. Didn't they learn their lesson with John McCain. (Who's campaign was largely run, not to mention actively sabotaged, by Romney aides?) I mean, what the hell does it take?!?

[hinckley buzzard]

Norml republicans don't support him. In 2008 he was supposedly the "runner-up" to McCain and yet he dropped out early due to lack of interest. His paltry vote totals were probably the most expensive votes in history. And he has done nothing to advance his chances now.

[hinckley buzzard]

Normal republicans don't support him. In 2008 he was supposedly the "runner-up" to McCain and yet he dropped out early due to lack of interest. His paltry vote totals were probably the most expensive votes in history. And he has done nothing since then to advance his chances now.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

The MSM keeps pushing RINOS, like Romney and Gingrich, for a reason. The MSM is trying their best to pick the ‘12 GOP POTUS candidates for us, and they are, also, trying to help Obama win re-election, by choosing RINO GOP candidates with problems.
