Romney surrogate ...: This is not about picking someone who shares your beliefs and principles

Well, there you go. Never will you hear the core principle of the Romney campaign stated so succinctly. Just one question: If he’s right that electability matters to the exclusion of all else, shouldn’t he be backing Huntsman?

I’m giving you two clips to whet your appetite for tomorrow night’s feast of acrimony, one of this guy Lambert uttering his shut-up-and-fall-in-line pitch for Romney and the other of Gingrich’s latest media therapy session to work out his rage over Mitt’s Super PAC attack ads. I know you’re bored with him complaining, but trust me and watch. It’s his most entertaining Romney-bashing interview yet, replete with Newt challenging Mitt to show those attack ads to his grandkids, calmly assuring Matthews that Romney won’t be the nominee, and wondering aloud whether anyone can name a single conservative accomplishment from Romney’s tenure in Massachusetts. Even more interesting is the fact that Matthews has dumped on Gingrich publicly for years, occasionally in diabolical terms. Here’s a valentine from “Hardball” in mid-December:

“They are about to begin the nomination for president of a figure who represents the Mephistopheles of what they preach: He is nasty, brutal, ready to fight and kill politically, a man of no discernible commitments or values – who has nothing to offer but a sharp-as-hell intellect and a wicked rapier of words,” Matthews continued, pausing only for air.

“Why are they on the verge of enlisting in the Army of Newt? Because he voices in cold, nasty, deadly tones the words of their contempt. Because he an opportunist ready to seek any route to his opponent’s heart and thereby kill it,” said Matthews.

Gingrich must have some inkling of Matthews’s contempt for him, even if he’s not watching “Hardball” every day,.....

I don’t want a pretty face, PC, walk-on-water, saintly candidate in this race. I want a battle scared, sharp tongued, politically wise, experienced politician and a patriotic candidate to run against the media and Obama’s henchmen. I want a candidate who can decimate and bury Obama in every debate they have. I’m tired of holding my nose to vote anymore. We have ONE last chance to save our America and we’d better not wimp out.

Willard’s Rombot goons mock Conservatives as we foolishly split the Conservative vote among three conservatives allowing Willard the Lib to win the nomination.

HEY ROMNEY! I triple dog dare you to make the following statement of fact in one of your debates:

OBAMA”CARE” IS A MONOPOLY, AND THEREFORE VIOLATES THE ANTI-TRUST LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

we all agree with you but I think the Republican voters are going to go with Romney if these polls are correct

Romney: the white mormon Obama
Obama: the half african musllim Romney
Both endorsed by McCain

Progressive is as progressive does.
Like Lenin and Stalin.

Where is Red from “That Seventies Show” saying “DUMBASS!!!”

That reasoning is how we ended up with BO-The-Zero and where we are today economically and struggling to fight a ill defined war on terror. Islam is not a religion of peace is must be defeated with a declaration of all out war.

What makes you think the polls are correct? We’ve been warned that the polls are cooked: the data is false. Don’t let disinformation depress you. Romney actually had less votes this time around in Iowa, then he did in 2008!

Romney isn’t winning no matter how much the elitists want him to win. I’m thoroughly disgusted with Gov. Niki Haley and suspect she will have political hard sledding soon in her state.
