Let It be Romney, Please!
Human Events ^ | July 30, 2008 | Bay Buchanan

Posted on 07/30/2008 6:14:32 AM PDT by Wendolyn128

John McCain has five weeks to choose his Vice Presidential running mate. Typically the most a presidential candidate can hope for is a partner who does him no harm. That criteria having been met, the choice is only important if the race is close; landslides aren’t caused or prevented by vice presidential candidates.

So the question for John McCain is who, if anyone can significantly influence Americans to vote Republican in November. The answer is Mitt Romney -- and for many more reasons than that he can deliver Michigan’s 17 electoral votes to the Republican column for the first time since 1988.

Dick Morris had some data on this.


"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Romney) lost Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."
[Romney: A Mistake for McCain, 7/23/2008, Dick Morris]



"But while choosing Romney to be his running mate would make Washington journalists happy,
it would be nothing short of political suicide for McCain."
[McCain Should Say No to Mitt; The American Spectator 2008-07-24]

This “hate” thingy ...

How does that work ???.....

Is that what your attitude towards the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Bible, and the Truth and conservatives and pro-life people is called ?????

Is it “hate” when you bad mouth me and other conservatives, personally ????

If so then...

You are in your little “hate” world all alone, kid...

Maybe I misunderstood what you meant.

Were you implying that you would not vote for a McCain/Romney ticket because of Romney's position on abortion?

Yes...

Romney has been an abortion pusher since 1970 ...

I supported life long conservative, pro-lifer, intelligent, well educated, attorney, Vietnam Veteran, 20 years in Congress, one wife, lovely children, grandchildren, son in Iraq, Duncan Hunter all the way through 2007 and voted for him in the TN primary..

Other than realizing that FRed had the best chance of getting the nomination and therefore I was prepared to vote for him instead in November, I would have loved to have seen President Duncan Hunter in the White House...

All the virtues and strengths that the Romneybots attribute to Romney are real in Duncan Hunter...

Even the fence that Romney used for a prop in his phony 180 degree change sides on the illegal alien issue was built by Duncan during the interval that Romney was supporting the AMNESTY Bill with “ we need a pathway to citizenship” and “we cant send them back”

I am so sorry that you cannot tell the difference between disgust of liberalism and hate.
Usually that confusion is found routed in liberalism.

Oh, and why do you afore him being the liberal he is?

I’m sure women had nightmares when Joseph Smith and Brigham Young were running the roads like highwaymen, just taking any woman they lusted after, whether or not she was willing...

The dreams of those poor victims must have been heart wrenching....

I could lend to you my poop catcher mit ... for when a ‘so-called’ pitches that effluent at ya. I get to use the mit a lot lately. Getting good at tossing it back, too! I posted an op-ed about the election and got mostly poop pitching and insults. Oh well ...

"I'm not running as the Republican view or a continuation of Republican values.
That's not what brings me to the race.

(Romney Video, accessed 9/19/07)


versus "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
 over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
 to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""

--  President Ronald Reagan


I'm very clear I think, to the people across the Commonwealth
my "R" didn't stand so much for Republican as it does for reform.
"
(Romney Video, accessed 9/19/07)


versus
"A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
 which must not be compromised to political expediency
or simply to swell its numbers."

--  President Ronald Reagan

I didn’t post to you. I’ve read enough of your garbage in the past to know better, you’re not worth the time. I am not racist or bigoted, but I don’t give a hoot of you think I am.

You go ahead and vote for your boy, Obama.....
