“with a real track record of accomplishment”

What kind of moral and political idiot thinks that’s what’s most important? What if you what he accomplished was bad? In that case, we might as well elect a Democrat, so long as they’re a talented, exeperienced, go-getter.

No, Dole is an honorable combat vet. Romney is just a party hack.

Lefties keep trying to push Romney since it would be a “standard” election, where they will push the idea that he is for “big business” and “the rich” and they are for the “little guy”, i.e., non-white poor, white-union, non-white-union, revolution around the world, sexual deviants, promiscuity, drug abusers, educators, etc.

And they know that conservatives actually hate Romney, so Repub turnout will be low in support of Romney.

They also know that Romney’s record is essentially Democrat-lite, so it can’t differentiate himself from nObama enough to get votes from the middle.

The Repub establishment also is thinking of a “standard” election (that’s all Dem and Repub establishment types think is ever going to be valid). So they keep clinging to Romney cuz he’s “next in line”.

Mitt is a RINO puke. I despise RINO pukes.

We’ve got better than ok in Palin. If only the snob establishment, i.e., George Will, Krauthammer, Rove, would finally stand behind her.

What they (Repub establishment) don’t realize is that THEY are the ones costing the next election for the GOP. THEY are the problem.

C.S. Lewis said, -paraphrasing- People who spend all their time looking down on others can’t see what’s above them.

What’s your problem? Bob Dole was an actual war hero with an impeccable conservative voting record.

but the health of the people in Massachusetts is more important to me than the health of my political prospects.’’

The fact that he does not see the 2 inherent mistakes in that statement are what doom him to be a footnote in American political history.

“I’m proud of the fact we took on a real tough problem and moved the ball forward,’’ Romney told the Globe. “I know this is going to get a lot of conversation, but the health of the people in Massachusetts is more important to me than the health of my political prospects.’’

Socialism was first a political system before it was an economic system. It was the concept in the 1840s that Government's purpose was to tend to social ills and needs.

Prior to that, Government was to repesent the soverign people or king, establish general order and beginning in the seventeenth century to protect persons and property by the "rule of law" (which was really to limit the use of arbitrary power.)

Romney, while probably uncomfortable with the economic requirements of socialism, the scheme that was promulgated as the only method strong enough to pay for the politcal goals, is happy with accepting the political goals.

No Sale! It is our intent to oust the current socialist ... but not replacing him with another one!
