What? Romney Decries Rise of Conservative Media, End of Liberal Media Dominance
http://newsbusters.org ^ | October 24, 2015 | Jeffrey Lord

Why isn’t Mitt Romney president? Because he thinks like this.

Over at Breitbart was this headline:

MITT ROMNEY: DEMISE OF LEGACY MEDIA EMPOWERING CONSERVATIVE ‘INSURGENTS,’ PREVENTING MORE ‘COLLABORATIVE ACTION’

The story reads, in part, like this:

Failed GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney lamented that the demise of traditional media is empowering Republican “insurgents” and preventing establishment Republicans from compromising more with Democrats.

As the Republican establishment is trying convince Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) to run for House Speaker, Romney told David Axelrod on a recent “The Axe Files” podcast that the “extremes within our respective parties are having a louder and louder voice and demanding more attention” and “immediate action” as opposed to more “collaborative action.”

Romney said this phenomenon flows in part from the “change in the world of media.”

“There was a time when we all got the news with the same facts, if you will,” he said. “We had three networks we watched for the evening news. Most of us got newspapers. Everybody in the middle class got a newspaper, so we got the same facts whether we agreed or not with them.”

Yet another delusional control freak bitter about the reality he thought he represented.

I didn’t vote for him in 2012.

I’m relieved Obama won.

There would have been no difference if Mittens had been inaugurated.

He thinks the American people are stupid.

Wow.
You don’t realize what a radical unAmerican
horror of a president Obama is, do you?

I do.

But Mittens is just as liberal.

He admitted it - and don’t forget he was the father of Obamacare.

And you don’t realize what an un-American horror of a president Romney would be do you? Better 4 years of an un-American radical horror than 8!

Do you realize that what Romney stated that he wanted was an American Pravda, controlled managed news where we are given the facts or lies, as the case may be, that the ruling elites want for us to hear? Isn’t that a radical horror?

Even though Romney is a Mormon, he shares in the Episcopalian Dream: a world without beliefs, principles, convictions, and the like. Let’s just Reach Across the Aisle and “get things done.” Let’s not have too much abortion, but let’s not be one of those kooks who want to get rid of it. Let’s not have too many illegal aliens, but let’s not be one of those kooks who want to limit illegal aliens. Let’s not have too much socialism, but let’s not be one of those kooks who want to cut off corporate welfare.

His daddy was against the candidacy of Goldwater in 1964 and spoke out against the GOP candidate.

Go home Mitt, you’re RINO.

Mitt Romney sounds like he shed a tear that CBS-AP’s scam didn’t sway the 2004 election in John Kerry’s favour.

There would be a slight difference. Some Republicans would support an amoral, liberal president because he had an R next to his name.

False choice. It wasn't either Mittens or Obama like you intimate.

There were other options, but liars gotta lie.

It is the age-old, age-old lament of the moderate GOP, and was long before conservative media ever existed. Today its easy to blame Rush or Sean or Mark or Fox or those of us scribbling away here at NewsBusters or elsewhere in the conservative media.

But the simple fact of the matter is that all conservative media does is, after decades of a liberal media monopoly, finally shed the spotlight on exactly what the liberal agenda - the liberal “worldview” is really all about. And help lead the fight to defeat it -- not compromise with it.

And the fact that Romney doesn’t get it tells conservatives everything they need to know about why Mitt Romney isn’t President Romney.



NO...NO...a thousand times NO!!



errr...MAYBE??
