WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — President Romney. How does that sound?

Better than President Gingrich, President Pawlenty or even President Palin? You betcha. Why? Because for all his flip-flopping and lack of charisma, Mitt Romney is a serious person — an “adult” in today’s political parlance — with a real track record of accomplishment.

This week, Romney actually showed what any serious Republican hopeful in the 2012 presidential election campaign needs to show: the beginnings of a backbone.

It looks like Romney may have flipped his last flop on what is supposed to be the bane of his existence, the statewide health-care plan he signed into law when he was governor of Massachusetts.

In an interview with the Boston Globe, Romney refused to back down or recant, even though many members of the Republican Party now regard government-mandated health care as the devil’s own work.

“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.’’

I was speaking about Romney’s ability to win the race. Bob Dole is a great american, but boring as heck, same as Romney.

Mega Barf!

Romney’s track record is his problem. His major accomplishments include $50.00 abortions on demand, tax payer funded abortion, abortion for minors without parental knowledge or consent as long as judge says ok, homosexual marriage, RomneyCare bankrupting Massachusetts, RomneyCare the blue print for ObamaCare, etc, etc, etc.

Yeah, Bob Dole was really dull....not like that show-boating, sparkler Bill Clinton. Denigrating a gentleman, war hero and true conservative like Bob Dole, makes you look ridiculous.

[Celtic Cross]

But I’m sure he’s very sorry for all he’s done and has learned his lesson. /sarc

And to add to that list, Romney recently said he was for ethanol subsidies.

[MBB1984]

That is Willard’s problem. Even if he wins the nomination, will Conservatives blindly hold their nose and vote for him? Will the Conservatives stay on the GOP establishment plantation just to avoid another four years of Obamanation? Will they embrace a flaming RINO at any cost to stop Obama?

Sorry.

Bob Dole didn't have Mass Care on his record.

More than makes up for hair deficit.

Mormon authors Alan F. Keele and Douglas F. Tobler, in “The Führer’s New Clothes,” wrote, "Hitler enjoyed at least as much popularity among German Mormons as he did among the population in general. His apparent dynamism and self-confidence seemed to show a way out of the chaos and weakness of the Weimar years... Some Church members even saw Hitler as God’s instrument, preparing the world for the millennium.” The Borks, above, were among thousands of Mormon families who sent their sons to fight for the Reich. The vital importance of “Aryan” ancestry gave new significance to genealogical research, the writers added in their Sunstone article. “And the Führer himself, the non-smoking, non-drinking vegetarian who yielded to no one in his desire for absolute law and order, seemed to embody many of the most basic LDS virtues."

It was clear, the authors emphasized, that the Church’s priority was to maintain its strength and continue to make converts under the Third Reich. It actually launched a public relations campaign to reassure Germany of its fealty. Indeed, an article written for a special issue of the Nazi Party organ Der Volkische Beobachter by the LDS Mission President to West Germany, Alfred C. Rees, “abounds in such loaded terms as Volk and Rasse (race), and a picture of Brigham Young bears the caption, 'Führer der historischen Mormonenpioniere.' Very disturbing is the way President Rees blatantly parallels Mormonism with Nazism…Mormonism sounds like a fulfillment of Nazi teachings.”

LDS Temple Ordinance records indicate that Adolf Hitler was "baptized" and "endowed" on December 10, 1993, and "sealed" to his parents on March 12, 1994. These events took place in the London Temple, in England. Hitler was "sealed" to Eva Braun on September 28, 1993, in the Jordan River Temple, Utah, and on June 14, 1994, in the Los Angeles Temple. According to the Church, these names -- and the names of other high-ranking Nazi officials and of Mussolini -- have been removed from the registry. The issue of Mormons posthumously baptizing Jewish people into the Church continues to resurface regularly.

There appears to have been considerable support for Hitler within the Mormon cult.... and even substantial collaboration.

If Romney is the Republican candidate, it will be a replay of 1992. We need a conservative candidate to trounce the wordsmith we have in there right now. We need somebody of substance. The closest thing I see is Sarah Palin. Everything she says sounds like Ronald Reagan. The next best thing is Rick Santorum. He, unfortunately, doesn’t get the press she has but He’s as genuine. The rest of the current field leaves us in a quandary.

[lawley]

You bring up some excellent question(s). Therein lies the rub.

Voting McCain was easy for me once Palin got on the ticket. Don’t know that Romney would be that smart.
