Romney: The Conservative Who Can Beat Obama (John Bolton's Wall Street Journal Column)
Wall Street Journal ^ | 01/20/2012 | John Bolton

Posted on 01/20/2012 7:49:09 AM PST by SeekAndFind

With America's future at stake in November, I decided to support Mitt Romney for three reasons: his Reaganaut philosophy, executive experience and general-election campaign strengths.

Our country's political focus on economic recovery has allowed President Obama to escape responsibility for his failures in the area of national security. Mr. Obama clearly doesn't recognize that lasting prosperity is impossible without robust foreign and defense policies and capabilities—and, conversely, that the requisite political, military and intelligence resources are not sustainable without a strong economy. Today's textbook example: the president's rejection of the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada.

Mr. Romney fully understands ...

I am deeply disappointed in this endorsement. I thought John Bolton was a true conservative. I was wrong.

You know, if we can get Bolton’s buddy, Mitt Romney on the ballot, it might confuse enough of the establishment types that some of them might vote for him instead of the other Mitt Romney, the one who appointed all of those nut job judges in Masachusetts.

SAME here.

Love ya John, but stop palling around with the GOP elite. You are better than that. Hell, should have run yourself.

Four years of that smarmy used car salesman laugh? No, thanks.

Apparently when evaluating Romney as a ‘conservative’ they are ignoring his entire body of work as an elected official and as a candidate in the state of Massachusetts. Is there one example of conservative thought during his term as governor? I am not aware of anything? I don’t have the same animosity some have towards the guy, in fact I thought he was a better option than McCain or Huck when it came time to vote last time, but I don’t see anything in his record that demonstrates his conservative philosophy.

>> I thought John Bolton was a true conservative.

I honestly did too. His ties to the elite are stronger than his principles, apparently.

That’s my biggest single concern with Mittens; his Supreme choices could destroy this country. He’s better than Obama and that’s all I can say.

Non of this sounds very convincing. Just sounds like he’s scarred stiff of berry getting reelected and going with establishment reasoning. He’s certainly a crusader for American foreign policy but this current fight to save America, which the Tea Party and say, Sarah Palin thrive at, is beyond him.

Remember all John Bolton is a Memeber of the “Council on Foreign Relations(CFR)”, so ANY claim he makes as being a “conservative” is MORE than suspect.

Sorry John, most of America saw the right man to be president in the first 5 minutes of the South Carolinia debate last night. We need a street fighter who will take the fight to Obuggery and the media his name is Newt.

I wish our generally useless media ( or someone else ) would actually ASK Romney what kind of judge or justice he would appoint.

Who among the current justices would he hold up as a model for his choice as justice or judge?

THIS QUESTION HAS NOT BEEN ASKED AT ALL AND IT IS ONE HUGE ISSUE THAT CONCERNS ME ( not his Cayman bank account ).

I beg to differ. He does realize it but it interferes with his grandiose plan to subject this nation to a third world Marxist regime with him as the 'dictator for life'.
