Romney has right RX for McCain
Seattle Times ^ | August 3rd | Froma Harrop

Posted on 08/03/2008 10:19:48 AM PDT by ConservativeMan55

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.

“You are a troll, by your own behavior.”

LOL! Let me count the ways that you lack credibility on this Romney thread and others by every rational, and I put emphasis on the word rational person who reads your posts. And I have posted more detailed data in my time here on FR than you could in a lifetime. Especially as you are a poster of spam, great quantities of it, spam in the morning, spam in the evening, spam at anytime. But you carry on, I’m hungry and am about to forage for food. Alas, I’m afraid in the meantime, your intent for our fellow Freepers will be to “let them eat spam”. Toodles.

Just look at this thread, approaching 400 replies. What other topic generates that sort of excitement?

This one with 2800 posts?

You are a typical Romney hater. You use facts when you know that is not what we Mitt supporters care about...

MORE LIKELY. Not only will I vote, but I will canvas my precinct, make a gazillion phone calls, put up yard signs and bumper stickers, donate money, call talk radio, blog, etc. in support of this ticket - SO LONG AS ROMNEY IS ON IT.

Otherwise, all they’ll get from me is a vote against the Obomination.

So I guess that means you’re out of touch with the Mainstream

Time will tell... I'm assuming you didn't think the same thing about the mid-term elections in 2006 either...

I am a conservative.

Actually, by the very fact of considering Mitt conservative or considering to vote for McCain negates your ability to be a conservative with morals and principles. It is a simple fact. Supporting liberals is never acceptable, not even in the light of someone as terrifying as Hussein. You considering McCain and Mitt means you're willing to sacrifice principles, plain and simple.

Again, you either are a liberal, or are a conservative without morals and principles. Nothing you can say while supporting your ultra-liberal stance can alter this simple fact. If you wish to change your ultra-liberal stance, and stand against McCain for conservatism, then you can assert being willing to stand up for your principles.

Actually, the stop McCain movement was starting in Michigan. Add in Mitt’s family history, and you have your explanation.

I do worry about McCain and it's why I would never vote for such a liberal scumbag.

I am not afraid of insulting the liberals around here... they're growing by leaps and bounds and the fact is, so called "conservatives" need to understand what true conservatism is about.

The primary polls change nothing. What would make anyone believe Mitt is a solid conservative, not an opportunist?

CA, Michigan and Minnesota are NOT bastions of conservative thought. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Nothing you can say while supporting your ultra-liberal stance can alter this simple fact.

To which stance are you referring?

It is a simple fact.

Because you call something a "fact" it becomes a fact?

If you had asked me why I am voting for McCain, or why you and I disagree about what type of person Romney is, you and I could have engaged in a dialog about why I think voting for McCain or supporting Romney is the proper thing to do. You could have presented reasonable arguments to the contrary. This is what intelligent people do. Instead you make assertions that only prove how ignorant you are. You clearly demonstrate that you are beyond the reach of reason. Any person who comes down in such an extreme fashion is obviously compensating for some short coming. What is you deep dark secret TexasGunLover? Does your gun shoot blanks? Is the trigger jammed?

Mitt is a slick individual. He ran as pro-gay, anti-gun, and pro-choice to win in Mass and reversed those and other major positions to win the nomination. I really have no clue what the guy believes but I think its pretty clear that he is an opportunist.

“Romney is absolutely pro-life.”

His own words say differently.
