Do you really want to be in a political coalition where this man has strong support?

[MissyMack66]

Mitt Romney values gay marriage and gov’t mandated health insurance b/c that’s what he did to the people of Massachusetts and we all are still suffering. Mitt Romney is Obama in pale skin and good hair....don’t believe him!

[mnehring]

Were they giving away samples of Aqua Net or something?

[Ingtar]

Why was he at a place where people with values congregate? It is about like Obama attending Southern Heritage day.

[GOP_Lady]

He covered a lot of topics. You could see when he was sure of himself through his experience as a business leader. I liked how he combined a little bit of humor with his seriousness. His main point was how the current administration did not solve the economic crisis. That must be our top priority since too many of our fellow Americans have been out of work for way too long.

[Leisler]

Mitt has values, lots of them, pick any four. If you don’t like his values, he got more.

[TeachableMoment]

LOL!

[TeachableMoment]

I honestly could not watch the entire clip, but did he cover the RomneyCare/ObamaCare linkage?

I wish someone would pin this man down and force him to differentiate the two, if he can. Which he can’t.

[RED SOUTH]

Disgusting. Mittens hated Reagan. Supported abortion even in 02. And don’t even get me started on romney-care.

[rrrod]

Read somewhere he was given a very cool welcome. Polite but cool. He has to know he is a goner. The huckster too, he was expecting to be made king or something. Didnt happen.

Romney HATED Bush, and Thompson, and Reagan, and Palin.

But, he is FOR Mitt.

Proven-Failed Governor Mitt Romney:

"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

Alex Beam: “In truth, Ronald Reagan
and Mitt Romney have as much in common
as Cardinal O’Malley and Conan O’Brien.
Deservedly or not, Reagan earned a reputation for constancy.
Once he turned against communism, he opposed it big-time.
…. And our former governor? Inconstancy, thy name is Mitt!
A woman’s right to choose? Yes! No! Yes!
Are we in Massachusetts? Yes! Are we in Iowa? No!
Are we on TV? Whatever!”

“Go Mitt. Go Mitt. Go Mitt.”

“Rove is pushing Romney so aggressively some folks are beginning to wonder what's going on,” grumbled one veteran Republican strategist.”

“Rove has made no secret of his support for Romney as McCain’s VP. ”

"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."

---

The Palmetto Scoop reported:
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.

Poor sport spoiler Romney doing what he does best:

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson."

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

Despite what the RomneyBOT claims:
Romney was a bad business leader who threw people OUT of work
and OUT of the health insurance ... hence RomneyCARE, the SOB.

Romney supported Obama through TARP, the SOB.

Romney supported illegal aliens which is why so many restaurants
in Massachusetts speak only Spanish now, the SOB.

Romney destroyed the Mass Constitution, imposing Romney Gay Marriage
without a vote ... except his own, the SOB.

"(The GroundZero Mosque) cleared its final hurdle ….
developers plan to build the $100 million center which will include a mosque.
Since its incipient stages in July 2009, when a Muslim-run real-estate development
company purchased the damaged, vacant building and land where the new center
will be built, the project has sparked controversy and debate.
.... the tattered building that was bought by the Muslim real estate company had
been owned by a subsidiary of Bain Capital, a company Romney founded in 1984.
So it’s OK if his company can profit off the sale of the land ."

“Romney praises Obama again
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney praised President Obama
at a GOP fundraising dinner Wednesday ..
"I also think it's important for us to nod to the president when he's right," Romney said....
Romney, who spoke at a dinner for the National Republican Senatorial Committee,
said he's pleased with the president's plans to "finish the job" in Iraq and Afghanistan
-- lines that drew applause from the partisan audience. He also applauded the president
for standing up to the auto industry.
"I hope he continues to be tough ....The former businessman even offered faint praise for
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, saying that after a series of initial missteps,
"I think he's finally getting close to the right answer."

You could see when he was sure of himself through his experience as a business leader.

You've gotten THIS right!
