Mitt Romney: the wrong man for the Right

He’s politically dumb and his campaign is run by amateurs. He doesn’t have a message and doesn’t know how to deliver a message. He’s a political letdown running on autopilot who needs to grab the controls. He’s a man whom only friends, relatives and fellow Mormons will ever love. And his name is Mitt Romney, Republican candidate for President of the United States.

These are stinging jabs. All were made in the past week and all share one surprising thing in common: they were delivered not from the Obama campaign’s Chicago attack machine, as you might expect, but in a succession of punches from the Right.

Conservative pundits and editorial columns, senior Republicans and two of the big beasts of the business world—Rupert Murdoch and the former talismanic chief executive of General Electric, Jack Welch—have all voiced serious misgivings about Romney’s ability to deliver victory in November. …

The primary charge against Romney is one of passivity. Those on the Right who believe that they have the economic arguments to kick-start the US economy—to make it “morning again in America” as the inspiring Ronald Reagan ad put it—find Romney’s apparent inability to seize the day maddening. It’s what explains not just the criticism, but the contemptuous tone. The Wall Street Journal charged last week that Romney appeared to want to “coast” to the White House by simply repeating (as the Romney campaign does, daily) that the Obama economy is failing. “Thanks, guys,” came the bitter payoff, “but Americans already know that.” …

ilgipper:

So you are another one who fully admits what a pathetic POS Mittler is but you have bought your cheerleader dress and your pom poms and are cheering on the useless SOB as though you were his child. I am not buying. Neither are many, many others here. You are on your own on this one. Remember that it is not how many Republicans are on autosmooch for his GOP-E tush but how many Republicans who reject him that counts in November.

BTW, the fact is that they are both crap as candidates and that we read George Herbert Walker Bush's lips and threw out that "decent man" for the lying spineless weasel that he was.

If Romney is nominated, conservatives, patriots, decent Americans will ALL have lost this election regardless of its outcome.

Romney is to the GOP what flesh eating bacteria are to vulnerable humans. You and I both live in Illinois. Do you remember the way that Rick Santorum was carpetbombed by Mittler's mountain of sleazily funded radio ads in this state??? I do and, like any good elephant, I will never forget. NEVER!!! Then Mittler's despicable dishonesty was repeated in Wisconsin a few weeks later.

You want to reward such tactics by the GOP-E overlords who imagine that they owe the peasants nothing and lust after a situation where their and Mittler's tactics become the GOP's basic playbook??? I don't and I won't.

If you are "behind Romney now," then check your shoes. That is not mud. AND, if you think that's bad, just wait until the totally unprincipled ubergreedy bastard (by George Brainless Romney out of Lenore Baby Killer Romney) is sworn in as POTUS (which God forbid).

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, etc., perform many fine services to the GOP and the nation. Rolling over and playing dead for Mittler because they are obsessed with the tax rates of the privileged such as themselves is NOT a service. Their credibility on this race is fatally compromised.

Bain destroyed the jobs of many Americans of too modest means to protect themselves. Bangladesh thanks Mittler. Bain funded the trading for profit in the murdered corpses of innocent aborted babies. Why let them go to waste, right? Mittler crammed rump-ranging as "marriage" down the throats of what decent folks Taxachusetts may have had. Like Obozocare, Mittlercare persecutes the Roman Catholic Church to which I belong and each and every other pro-life church. I don't vote for Caligula, Nero or Diocletian either.

Is there a single Fanny Hill or Xaviera Hollander here who confesses to actually liking Mittler? Of course not. It is forever the litany of: I really did not want Romney but all the others somehow evaporated and now it is just Mittler or Obozo. I am waiting for Ann Romney to post here to tell us that Mittler wasn't her first choice either (he wasn't) but what can she do now??? How pathetic!

You do understand that, although Obozo is a despicable Marxist POS doing his level best to destroy the USA (it was a dream of his father, don't you know?), he is NO DOPE. He proposes saving the Bush tax rates that count, those serving the 98% who make less than $250,000 a year. Some Demonrat Senators (Schmuckie Chewmer and others) and House critters want the threshhold to be higher and maybe it will be. Who really gives a damn??? The tax treatment of the rich and privileged is hardly the be-all and end-all of conservatism much less of American politics.

Obozo says: I'll take the 98% and you Republicans can have the 2%. Be sure to block extension of the tax rates on folks of modest means so that the Demonrats can again play their old fatal serenade to the brutally harmed and envious whom the overlord class of BOTH parties love to defecate all over. Of course, only Republicans whine in response: Hit us again, it feels sooooo good! Whips, chains: Beat me! They don't call the GOP the stupid party for nothing.

So what if Mittler wants to mass murder babies, persecute pro-life churches, root for rump=ranging posing as "marriage, and every other abomination known to man or beast! He is the GOP-E's own Mittler and the GOP-E gets the jobs and the contracts and the $$$ and what else could possibly count????

BTW, the only thing Romney will repeal about Obozocare is its name. He wants to be the father of socialized medicine and recognized for it.

My choice in November is Tom Hoefling. If he fails to make the ballot, it will be Virgil Goode. The GOP can have my vote again when it EARNS it and not until. They don't begin to earn it without first groveling in the mud and the blood and the beer weeping and begging America's forgiveness for nominating this worthless barbarian POS. This election will be the first POTUS election in 44 years in which I will refuse to vote Republican for POTUS.

RESIST!!!

ME: May those who refuse to see and hear wear their chains of SLAVERY NOT lightly but weighed down with the knowledge they enslaved their children, grand children and generations to come 1 RINO they voted for at a time with their fear and koolaid drinking.

They need to go back and reread the Constitution and books on our Founding Fathers.
