Translation of the term consensus builder=a politician unable to say yes or no. A man who is unable to take a stand.

I believe A LOT of conservative voters will stay home if Romney is shoved down our throats.

Mitt was 31 years old when the LDS decided in 1978 that black people could become full members of the church. Prior to that they were considered by the LDS to be cursed by God. Now it may not be as bad as it sounds, but that won’t matter because the state run media is only going to go with one side of the story. The one side that hurts the Republican party. This will be proof to them and anyone who listens to them that the Tea Party, Conservatives, the Republican party and any one else who opposes Obama are racists.

We had one of those ‘get along’ types from 2000-2008.
I recall him getting along with some cockamamie congressional bill and our saying among ourselves, ‘Just wait, he’s going to fix it with some maneuver’.

That maneuver never materialized, over and over.
IIRC it was years into his term before Pres. Bush vetoed his first bill.

No thanks..no get along for me.

“A leader listens to the people who are one’s opponents — and you find ways of bringing people together,”...
Here's your clue, Mitt...

In other words, a turncoat aisle-crossing RINO.

He builds a "consensus" like Algore - it's termed a "consensus" if it's useful to him. While Gore is battier, Romney is very similar.

Gee. Four more years of Obama, or eight years of Mitt. That is a very, very tough call.

I’m thinking four of Obama might actually be preferable to eight of Mitt.

The GOP truly is the Stupid Party.

If you get 4 more years of Obama you will see more scenes like the Air Jordans fiasco across America - imagine what will happen if we are having to fight for food and gas.

If he’s such a great “Consensus Builder,” how come he can’t build a consensus among Republicans?

Yep, a RINO-Quisling.
