Mitt Romney Takes on Detroit

By Garance Franke-Ruta

The race for 2012 is already on in the Republican Party, and today failed 2008 contender Mitt Romney appeared to take a stand sure to complicate any future presidential bid. In an op-ed bluntly titled, "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt," the former Massachusetts governor argued against the automobile salaries and pension systems that have for decades helped define the good life in industrial Michigan, where Romney won the GOP primary this winter and where his father was once governor.

Romney is a lifetime liberal...

It doesnt take much to live to the right of him as a conservative..

Even Teddy Kennedy was right of Romney in 1994..

The fact that Romney had success putting forth a conservative agenda, doing tort reform and balancing the budget, shows the leadership skills that he has. Anyone can be successful in an oil rich state like Alaska. Palin’s success proves absolutely nothing. She didn’t face anything like Romney. It’s like comparing something that someone did in Pre-school to someone being a rocket scientist. There is no comparison. Palin doesn’t even has a real journalism degree. Can’t people tell the way she talks, she can’t. That should explain everything right there. The lady is a fraud.

From someone who calls themselves a mamma.......

ROFLOL!!!!!!!!!

Are we going to have to read this kind of garbage "Oh sure, Palin will try to run with it, she is ambitious, she is willing to neglect her baby to get what she wants, that’s clear. I feel so sorry for her baby." (rodeo-mama) on FR for the next four years while the MittBots savage anyone who may threaten his ascendancy?

After what the DBM did to Palin, surely, surely FR can offer her a safe haven here?

Romney has been soundly rejected by the voters. Let the corpse of his candidacy rest in peace and let us move on with those who really DO embody conservatism. Please.

If you fairly and equally dismiss hateful liberal BS about both of them, there's plenty to like in both Mitt and Sarah.

Agreed...............

Huh! Osage Orange is that you at the keyboard?:)

This blatant troll-like anti-Romney spammers are tolerated here because the site admin is anti-Romney as well

If you are referring to JimRob, I wouldn't call him "anti Romney", I would say he was more anti liberal phonies. I've seen plenty of his posts to verify that. Romney is just one of many liberals that he is against.

FR’s entire reason for being is to promote conservative candidates and conservative causes. Liberals and moderates are shunned. Of course FR admin favors conservative candidates! Wouldn’t have it any other way.

Posters who favor abortion, gay marriage, gun grabbing, restrictions on religious freedoms, open borders, etc, or favor big government, entitlements, confiscatory taxation, social engineering, weakened security or defenses, etc, or favor candidates who take these non-conservative positions are probably pretty uncomfortable here as they feel the heat of thousands of conservatives objecting to their moderate/liberal posts.

One such poster went so far as to suggest that conservatives have held their boot to the neck of the GOP for far too long and that abortion, God, guns and gays will never ever be important planks to the GOP again.

Got news for all who think this way. Eliminate any of these conservative planks and the GOP goes poof. Without traditional conservatism, the GOP means nothing. A party made up of McArnolds, McRudys and McRomneys is worthless. Just say no to big government moderate “conservatism.”

The GOP is not even a fiscally conservative party anymore. And many top Republicans are now pushing global warming, gay rights, open borders, big government, big spending, etc. Suggest the party gets back to Reagan conservatism before it’s too late.

What is it that you disagree with about hateful liberal BS?

[lookout88]

If many share your view, then perhaps there is no hope, and Hussein really is “The Antichrist.”

Sounds about right.

Not misogynistic at all my spellcheck challenged friend.

Just making an observation.

The mission of the Communists since the movement started has been to expand the right to vote to non freeholders and imbeciles.

They knew that if the non wealthy majority could vote themselves money, it would not be long until socialism set in.

They have succeeded on a grand scale.

Congratulations comrade, you live in the United Socialist States of America.

Courtesy of non freeholders, women, and those under 21.

How very disgusting you remain.

So women fall into free loaders and imbecilies.....

They knew she didn’t have the qualifications. I had to talk people into voting for McCain by informing them how bad Obama was. Palin didn’t help McCain at all.

restornu is simply deluded. Help debunk the nonsense posted by restornu, gently if you can.
