Romney calls for 'a new president'
Politico.com ^ | March.5,2011 | Mike Allen

Posted on 03/05/2011 1:32:23 PM PST by Reagan Man

Mitt Romney, speaking in New Hampshire on Saturday night for the first time since the midterms, plans a direct attack on President Barack Obama and what Romney has been calling “the Obama Misery Index.”

Romney, in the unofficial kickoff of his Granite State campaign, will be keynoting the Carroll County Republican Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner.

“Senator Obama campaigned hard in New Hampshire but he apparently didn’t like what he saw,” Romney says in prepared remarks. “He certainly didn’t learn from it. Instead of lowering taxes, he raised them. He wrapped businesses in red tape, he grew government, he borrowed trillions of dollars, and he made it clear that he doesn’t like business people very much.

“He created a deeper recession, and delayed the recovery. The consequence is soaring numbers of Americans enduring unemployment, foreclosures and bankruptcies. This is the Obama Misery Index, and it is at a record high. It’s going to take more than new rhetoric to put Americans back to work—it’s going to take a new president.

In a section of the speech on jobs, Romney says: “And we need to stop penalizing companies that want to invest in America. Right now, we tax companies who make money overseas if they want to bring it home, but we don’t tax them if they keep their money abroad. That makes no sense at all. We want that money here, invested in new factories, new equipment, and new jobs. …

“How much money do American companies store overseas that’s waiting to come back? Estimates range as high as one trillion dollars. Bringing a trillion dollars back to the United States will create hundreds of thousands—or even millions of good, permanent, private sector jobs.”

Maybe after such racist comments the good old Politico will begin to trend against Romney, instead of cheer leading for him?

It could happen?

Mitt McCain is on the move—don't underestimate him patriots.

Huckster ain't far behind so look for another RINO full court press just like 2008 and then an Obama reelection.

Romney is this cycle’s McCain...No longer should we allow the liberals to choose our candidates.

The NYTIMES picked McCain last time...and 72 hours after he was nominated they had a front page lie about some “affair” he had, but never had.

No. No Romney. No Daniels. No more fake conservatives.

The MSM love Myth. They'd only turn on him if he won the primary. Then it would be Romneycare and flip-flop, 24/7.

Go Sarah.

If the RNC sticks us with Mitt they will make history...

It will be the 2nd time a political party committed suicide.

( The 1st time was Bob Dole ).

The thing that scares me is that New Hampshire Yankee Liberal RINO’s get the first shot at picking a President in their Primary and they are almost sure to pick this Romneycare nutbag. Giving him a boost and shutting down the choice’s for the rest of America.

All Primary’s should be held the same day.Give all Candidates an even chance.

He is almost as big a phoney as Obozo. If he is "on the move" lets hope it is to Mexico like his ancestors. Bye Bye "NittWitt Mitt"

We should all be doing all that we can in our own states to make all the primaries happen on the same day. Why the dickens should Iowa get to decide anything? Also, closed primaries or bust.

Its like a lot of people said after McCain lost: I am glad the election is over so I can go back to hating McCain.
Mitt is another in the long list of cancerous tumors in the GOP.

These RINOs are going to turn the 2012 Republican primaries into a demented version of the I Love Lucy Show, just making stupid, pointless RINO arguments among themselves. And the age demographics are about right, too.
