Romney has right RX for McCain

We who obsess over universal health coverage may soon confront a startling development: The only candidate on a major-party presidential ticket to have proposed and implemented a universal plan could well be a Republican. I speak of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, now high on the list of John McCain's possible running mates.

“FRee Republic Member Opinion
Thompson 66.8% 1,658
Romney 12.7% 315”

Fred Thompson lost bad, didn’t he, in the primaries. And Mitt came in second only to McCain. Forgot to mention that little fact, didn’t you. Awaiting boldfaced spam reply.

You want original? Here you go then.

The only reason Levin endorsed Romney is because he hates McCain.

Notice the date. After SC and Fred dropping out. This was more an anti-McCain statement than a pro Romney statement. Notice how many times he writes the word McCain.

Novak: Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign

Said Novak: The rumors were "traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson."

“The only chance the GOP has this year is to find a candidate other than McCain... McCain/Romney is as sure a loser as McCain and anyone else.”

If it ends up being a McCain/Romney ticket, McCain will win, and you will end up eating crow. Be talking to you after the election.

It’s not as simple as that. Everyone sees everything lets get that out of the way right now. You pick your candidate and then you pick the faults. You vote for what is available concerning your belief. You choose what you think you can control. Good Luck

Ding ding ding!

You added pictures to your spam reply!

What do I win???

[pepperhead]

I liked Thompson, he lost because he wouldn’t wake up. Romney lost because he couldn’t had from his liberal past. Every candidate that ran this time around had negatives or made mistakes. It is just a shame that some folks can’t see that because they have blinders on.

[ConservativeMan55]

An endorsement is an endorsement is an endorsement.

You can’t wiggle around by saying “Ohh it was more about McCain”

And that still doesn’t explain all the other Conservatives that support him.

[JRochelle]

You are right. There is something else. He’s a Mormon, don’t ya know, and that just isn’t acceptable to the likes of some on this thread.

Ah yes, if you oppose Romney, you must be a bigot.

Just like if you oppose Obama, you must be a racist.

Hmmm, you sure do “Spamalot”.

This is what the Romney sycophancy has sunk to these days. This is the bait and switch/misdirection ploy I've been referring to. The poster cannot stand to have Romney's liberalism exposed so she resorts to playing the 'you hate mormons', 'you hate Mitt', and the ultimate 'you're no Christian if you reject a Mormon' cards.

At first this strategy was somewhat effective with those unfamiliar with Mitt Romney's liberal history and duplicitous rhetoric. But gradually the repeated use of these cards has exposed them as just words, pretend conservatism and full-on blind sycophancy.

I wonder, will FR ever settle back down into previous transparent conservatism mode? Will the election cycle ever end?

“Ding ding ding!

More spam.

[ConservativeMan55]

With pictures I suppose.

I still am waiting on a serious argument from it.

I imagine I’ll be waiting a long time.

AMEN!!!

“I liked Thompson, he lost because he wouldn’t wake up. Romney lost because he couldn’t had from his liberal past. Every candidate that ran this time around had negatives or made mistakes. It is just a shame that some folks can’t see that because they have blinders on.”

Romney lost because McCain and the Huckster tag teamed him. And the Huckster stirred up the mostly southern, although some northern Evangelicals against Romney’s Mormon religion. It’s you that has the blinders on.

The ONLY Spam is about ... Myth Romney.
And the chance of ANY of you RomneyBOT for responding >br?to any posted criticisms, numbers, quotes, is ... zero.

“Ah yes, if you oppose Romney, you must be a bigot.”

For too many on these Romney threads, the shoe fits, and the proofs in the comments (see #137 on this thread).
