No more establishment candidates!!!!!

[dljordan]

“Makes it pretty easy to choose don’t it? “

Maybe we’re being herded. Again. :)

[onyx]

FREE REPUBLIC ALWAYS!
NO willard mitt romney EVER!

[mylife]

The LAST thing we need is a professional politician.

Eff You Mitt. Get lost.

[greyfoxx39]

Can you believe it? a liberal media outlet used the word "KOWTOW"!

[freekitty]

Romney wants the Tea Party to adore him; not respect him. Only problem Mitt, you just won’t do the right thing. Gee. someone might think you are an elitist since you appear to often think you know better than us.

That ain’t America , Buddy.

[Happy Rain]

If McCain didn’t teach us a lesson we deserve 4 more years of Lenin.

Funny but McCain was called the maverick—the one who eschews the herd—yet we were herded by him and the Marxist/RINO/MSM Axis of Mendacity.

[Seruzawa]

Naturally USN&WR would want a RINO as Pubby candidate.

GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney is not trying to suck up to the Tea Party movement

---

Right. He can kiss up all he wants; there is no love for him. He conveniently becomes pro-life when he wants to run for president. He set up Romneycare in his state. He's arrogant and wishy washy. The only thing he believes in is himself. He blows with the wind. If he ends up winning, o gets another 4 years; God help us.

[Whitebread]

What choo talkin ‘bout, Mortrey?

[Diogenesis]

Sharia IAG-supporting perennial backstabber, the RINO Romney:
“Make all the promises you have to...”

---

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!”

MSM bias for Campaign Coverage in 2008

---

"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."

US News & World Report reporting what the Boston Globe had written.

Yeah Right!

Sorry!

I Don't Believe The Liberal Media!

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Romney is another end justifies the means statist.

[McGavin999]

Second by using the Tea Party as a foil Romney can combat one of his own biggest negatives: his reputation for being a political weather vane (see his positions on abortion, gay marriage, and gun control for example). As one Tea Party activists tells the Globe, Romney is “a fraudulent conservative. I don’t trust the guy. Be it health care, be it social issues, he’s a chameleon."

Romney can't win the primary. Even as the establishment candidate. If he does it means the establishment WANTS Obama to have a second term and it guarantees there will be no establishment come the 2016 elections.

[Babu]

Blah blah blah ... Translation: You idiot right wing nuts should nominate Myth so our Big Eared Socialist will win again.

Thanx but no thanx. We don’t take advice from the enemy.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Mitt Romney will be blown out by the early primaries. Without Tea Party support, he is unelectable....both primary and general election. If he is the GOP nominee the GOP is dead as a party....Obama will crush him

[BobL]

You know the Republicans have nearly TWO YEARS to close off Primary voting to non-Republicans, at least in the states that they control. If they can do that, then, maybe, we won’t get another McCain.

[M-cubed]

Mitt Romney is a mayonnaise sandwich on white bread. <<

Yup.... but with no mayonnaise

[Leisler]

But...but...Mittens is Mr. Conservative. Really. Double dare you. Honest. Cross my heart.
