Laura Ingraham was on the Glenn Beck radio show in the last hour this morning...While talking about potential candidates for 2012, She was asked if Romney was a "progressive" she said NO he isn't one of them at all...I've heard that she loves Romney like a Ken doll and is a Romneybot, but this is amazing!
She also said that she would take Newt as President in a heartbeat!
What gives?
While we should not be “settling” at election time...at this point, I think I’d take either of them over what we got now.
You know what i mean! Is Romney a progressive?
I don’t get it either. She and Coulter are both originally from CT (as am I). I think that type (educated NE woman) may have a preference for northeasterners.
I don’t know about those statements, but I’ve gradually stopped listening to her radio show the past few months. She was always so against amnesty, and use to have JD Hayworth sub on her show occasionally. But she never came out in favor of JD, as much as she disagreed with McCain in the past. At least she never came out for JD while I still listened to her show.
She’s bouncing around on the issues and her show is too much of an infomercial for her new book.
We Americans never cease to amaze me sometimes; the same thing with Charlie Crist.....he’s winning in the polls running as an independent after lying to everybody about refunding political funds and not running as a third party candidate. It’s hard to believe anybody can believe Romney after flipping on every major issue when the winds blew differently as has McCain (with Palin’s support).
He does have a little bit of fiscal sense though... so he would be marginally better than 0bama. I still would not be able to vote for him though.
I don’t consider any liberals to be PROGRESSIVE.
The media refers to the demos as progressive and concervatives as neocons.
The demos are anything but progressive.
My god, Romney is a RINO, but calling him a progressive is an idiotic smear.
I doubt it really matters what she thinks/says about these two. Seems highly unlikely either could win enough primaries to matter.
She is a commentator, not a President maker. At this point in time, I believe in her integrity and intelligence.
Patience is required to grow a good crop.
Is she living in DC again? Beltway-itis seems hard to kick for many.
Closer to communist than progressive!
Since she was on Glenn Beck and Glenn asked the question about whether he was a “progressive” and we all know what Glenn means by Progressive as far as HIS definition goes!
Howie Carr, also, sees many RINOS as being conservatives, including Mitt Romney. Howie, also, sees RomneyCare as being what prevents Romney from winning the ‘12 POTUS race, and Howie knows about the frequent FR posting of the picture of leftists swarming around Governor Romney as Mitt is signing RomneyCare into law.
Mittens is of the RINO species! Survival of the middlest!
Romney isn’t as conservative as I wish he was, but I don’t know if it’s fair to call him a “progressive”. He’s just an unfortunately middle-of-the-road republican.
Before I knew about Romney, I went to one of his rallies before the primary.
I got to shake his hand but he couldn’t look me in the eyes. That was disturbing. How long does it take to make eye contact, a milli-second?
Def. better than 0bama though.
I never even considered him in the primaries, so I can’t say, particularly, but I’ve read he is...considering what I’ve read about Romneycare.
