Mitt Romney disagrees with radio talk show host Rush Limbaughs claim that Romney made a grave error in endorsing Sen. John McCain over more conservative former Rep. J.D. Hayworth in the Arizona Republican primary.
I find it hard to disagree with Rush Limbaugh on topics, but on this one I do, Romney tells Newsmax.TV.
I know Senator McCain. I think his experience in the military, in the Senate, and the wisdom and judgment he has developed over a lifetime is something we need in the Senate.
I think it serves our country well. I also believe that its essential that we win the general election and send a Republican back to Washington. I think Senator McCain has by far the best prospects of being re-elected senator from Arizona, rather than somebody who would be new to the scene.

The key for JD Hayworth to beat McCain would lie in the Mormon vote in the Phoenix suburbs. However, all the prominent Mormon politicans like Jeff Flake and Matt Salmon endorsed McCain. With Romney’s endorsement, JD Hayworth has no chance. AZ Mormons, who dislike McCain, will follow Mitt Romney’s lead and vote for McCain.
Now is the time for states with open primaries to begin reconsidering them or we’re going to end up with another mccain RINO in 2012. I don’t get why democrats are allowed to help choose the GOP candidate anyway.
Grumpy Liberal McInsane Dopey Liberal Willard
Romney = RINOmney
Romney is DOA as a POTUS wannabe... ain-never-gunna-happen. Sarah girl, watch and learn.
Rush is right. . .Romney is wrong - on this a few other topics as well. That said. . .2012 coming on fast. . .
Most of those pictured at that site should just join the Democrats. That kind of Republican is a fake and a fraud. The head honchos are trying to make conservatives ‘go away’ and don’t seem to care if they destroy the party AND the country.
I thought I was writing in English. Please select your language preference.
My language preference is conservative. You ought try it. Clears the mind.
Who gives a rip about wisdom. How did McCain vote? Hey Romney, get in the backseat. You are finished.
Just go away you RINO turdball. (and take McCain with you)
last post was meant for Mitt and not directed at you. ;^)
I think McKennedy’s had his last term stinking up the Senate. The only question is whether he gets replaced by a conservative or an out of the closet lefty. How many conservatives will actually come out and vote for him again after amnesty, campaign finance, and the prescription drug entitlement votes? About all he could do now is come out against the Second Amendment.
Oh yeah, they will.
But more people are on to that tactic and I doubt he has good polling numbers.
The media want Romy for the same reason they wanted McLame.
Easy to beat.
Keep this one going!
The RINOS are history.
Yep! This says it all...Can’t expect a 15W light bulb put out 100W of light...
Yep, And with lots of open Primaries early in the campaign,The Rats will be trying to pick the weakest Repub for the nominee.
Just like last time.
So why did Romney attack McCain during his 2008 campaign for the GOP nomination? He ripped McCain day in and day out on issues ranging from illegal immigration, the bailout, and his out of control temper. It got so bad that McCain referred to Romney as a pig when asked about the latest attack by Romney.
Well, he was a bit more subtle in his response. He said, never get into a wrestling match with a pig. You both get dirty, and the pig likes it." When asked if he had compared Romney to a pig, he replied clenching his teeth, holding his temper, that was just a philosophical approach to politics, hehe. And now Romney has done and 180 degree reversal on McCain. I guess Romney is just being Romney, as usual.
And by the way, JD isn't new to the scene he has served in the US House for 12 years.
The Progressive movement is big and it has been moving under the radar for a long time. Entirely un-American.
