Take a minute to read the entire editorial to get the full impact.
Romney is a Vulture Capitalist not a Venture Capitalist.
Romney is a government solution politician not a conservative.
A child can see why Obama wants Romney as his GOP opponent.
Obama's pre-campaign campaign strategy is custom made for Mitt.
It's all Obama has and he needs Romney to run the table (White House, Congress and Supreme Court).
That is a good article.
Last night Sean Hannity engaged in the manner he does on his radio and Fox shows -- a monologue list of negative words and phrases someone has said to define them -- and he did that with Perry's comments about Romney's Vulture Capitalism [versus] Venture Capitalism.
Then he had Perry on for an interview and tried to body slam him against the wall using the same list and Perry stood firm (Sean came at him about 4 times -- fairly long interview) -- bottom line, Mitt is going to have to answer these questions. And when Sean said, "Surely there are legitimate questions of policy differences you could use and not on capitalism?" To which Perry confidently responded, "Yes he'll have to answer for his positions on guns, abortion, the environment......" End of interview.
Next Sean had Frank Luntz (his pet pollster) and Mark Stein. Sean ran down his "Perry is an ass" list -- again. Stein was "fairish." Luntz and Sean pretended they were defending the Right and capitalism but it was so obvious they were trying to destroy Perry -- Newt was left off the table from what I recall. Then Sean goes on again with the BIG FAT LIE about "I haven't picked a candidate yet; I've been neutral." What a joke. Who does he think he's fooling at this point?
It’s spot on about exactly how vulnerable Romney is.
The country can’t take another 4 years of Obama.
What in the world is the GOP establishment thinking!?
This is K-Street protecting Wall Street and screwing Main Street.
I'm referring to the voters.
Is NH that liberal/moderate that they would vote for Mitt, AND WORSE, Paul and Huntsman?
And the pols in SC gives Mittens the lead?
I am totally disgusted and not a little discouraged.
Can someone give me some reason not to think that the way it looks now, we will not end up with 4 more years of Obama?
If these three individuals continue to sit on their hands and wait around, all hell is going to break loose.
Time to show some backbone.
Mitt's been kissing GOP butt with endorsements and campaigning for them the last decade. The elite media wants Obama to win and the GOP establishment is comfortable that Mitt won't shake things up. NH is largely a bedroom community for Boston, Mass. A large segment of NH is stocked with Libertarians.
It is not too late. If Romney can be whooped in South Carolina and Florida by Newt or Santorum (preferably finishing third or fourth), the media narrative will break and people will realize Mittens is not inevitable.
If we lose South Carolina, Mittens carries momentum into Florida where he is currently leading by double digits, proceeds to Mormon heavy Nevada and New England Maine, and with 6 victories under his belt, the nomination is basically his.
Its not too late, but South Carolina is our Stalingrad.
Gingrich is going to flame out in his vendetta against Romney -- and his "baggage" is a beautiful target for the Left (affairs and Freddie Mac and health care "consulting").
Gov. Rick Perry is the only one who fits the bill and why the GOP establishment and the MSM has been so brutal.
the country will survive 4 more years if we hold the house and, better yet, take the senate. The senate races are more significant than the presidential races at this point especially if it is Romney the Rino. The dems have to defend 23 seats We need 4 of them. Several of them aeems very probable wina for us and our 10 republican seats that we have to defend seem pretty safe.
If Romney is the nominee the Republican Party will be split and voter turn-out depressed...... and the Left will be energized.
That does not fit well with the idea of taking the Senate and holding the House. They are the target of Obama’s campaign and the MSM is along for that ride.
How hard is Obama going to have to work (money, time and muscle) defending his presidency? All his money will go to help vulnerable Senate and House seats.
We must make Obama fight and spend time and money.
The math is against the dems when it comes to the senate races. they have 23 seats to defend and we have only 10. Their seats are more vulnerable than ours. I feel good about our chances and I sense that the Dems are pretty nervous about their prospects.
“Romney is a Vulture Capitalist not a Venture Capitalist. “
Good line. it made me realize why the left wants Mittens as the candidate. They can paint him as a wall street insider and eviscerate him and the RNC come election. He will lose and we might be set back heavily in both House and Senate.
They are laying off Romney now because they’re saving it all for the election.
Good line.
It's a clear distinction and obviously NOT a comment about Capitalism but rather Romney.
It disarms part of Obama's campaign strategy too.
Rush and Sean need to revisit their "outrage."
I like Perry, but he hasn’t polled above single digits in SC since October.
Gingrich has the momentum, and while he has baggage, I like his chances against a straight up communist.
NH has a very strong libertarian thread to our politics. Between that, and the 40% commies, social conservatism is VERY unpopular here.
Romney was actually both a vulture capitalist and a venture capitalist.
Except that we'll still have too many Rinos without a backbone, and who prefer the status quo. We control the House now and are still basically being shafted.

Only up to the DMZ, i.e. Concord, then we have the
leftovers from Woodstock, followed by the same sex face kissers.
