Housebreaking Romney - The Importance of Being Vocal

Mitt Romney’s ardent supporters are fit to be tied today. Andrea Saul cited Romneycare approvingly, conservatives rightly piled on, and Romney supporters are defending the guy.

[RitaOK]

Essentially we are being told by the usual suspects to shut up and wait until after dark on election day to let it out that we are being assaulted and voted for our own assault. LOL! Not so with Erick. He is willing to yell now.

In Massachusetts, rates have soared, and
the available doctors have plummeted.

No wonder Mr.RomneyCARE fled the state and had
his RomneyBOTs lie claiming the population LOVES
the increased rates and lack of docs.

Romney is a Union stooge..
You know.......... like Obama...

Don’t expect him to try to control the Unions soon..
They, of course, MUST be controlled before they tank the United States..

Its impossible to get elected in MAss. if you are not a Union Stooge..
or Connecticut, NY, NJ or Penn..

What happens IF you elect a republican Union stooge as President..?
Answer: that President will bend over backwards to NEVER EVER mention the Unions at ALL... ALL PROBLEMS caused wholly or in part from Unions, will originate some where ELSE..

Did I say Romney is a Union stooge?.. and Santorum as well..
American Unions are extreme parasites.. all of them.. i.e. police, firefighters, teachers etc..

Not usually a fan of Erickson... (He's our sides KOS, IMO, i.e. it's his way or the highway.) But he nails it here.

Should Mitt Romney be elected President of the United States, the very same American press corps that calls both small government conservatives and white supremacists “far right,” will call Mitt Romney a conservative whether he is or is not. The press corps is either too stupid or too liberal to be nuanced on these issues. [Note: embrace the healing power of "and"]

Therefore, if we are not vocally on the record now that it is madness for the Romney camp to praise a failed healthcare regime in Massachusetts, between the press and Romney’s present enablers, we’ll surrender that right after the election.

No one doubts we must beat Barack Obama. No one doubts Mitt Romney is the only vehicle with which we can beat Barack Obama. But I doubt we can if the Romney camp makes unforced errors and those errors — not being vocal about those errors — shake the fragile truce conservatives have with him in the name of beating Obama.

You and I may go vote for Mitt Romney, but there are some in the center-right coalition who lean toward the libertarian end of the spectrum who will just sit it out. There are independents who will sit it out. They need to know Romney has seen the error of his ways and is not, as so many of the candidates in the primary season said he was, not very different from the man he is trying to beat.

I’ve said it before, the only words out of Romney’s mouth on Obamacare should be:

The people don’t want it, I will repeal it.

And he needs to believe it. If he doesn’t care about the people he will lose.

[Katarina]

Erick is behaving like a jerk. One would think he wanted Obama to have a second term....maybe he does.

[hosepipe]

Waay too subtle...

[Psalm 144]

You get a biscuit.

[RaisingCain]

Yeah, Erick is behaving like a jerk for TELLING THE TRUTH. Way to go Mittbot to justify all of the stereotypes.

[Impy]

If Mitt goes on the carpet it’s over.
