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?
I think the show me
state has rendered the definitive verdict on Willard. He can wave his hands all he wants, but there's no way he can escape the surface similarities of RomneyCare to ObamaCare.
Career-wise, he should have gone for governor of Utah, not Taxachusetts (LOL!). He's a good guy, but he's damaged goods at a deeper level than his likely primary opponent, whose family situation is less tidy.
These are the thoughts of a conservative commentator? Whoa...
Laura has clearly drunk the RINO Kool-Aid.
post of the month! to bad so many younger FReepers will have it go right over their heads! oh well. kudos old guy stuff Next, great job.
Mitt Romney isn’t progressive. He isn’t liberal. He isn’t conservative.
Mitt Romney is a sociopath who will say anything to get himself elected.
Mitt Romney doesn’t believe in anything at all period. The only firm belief Mitt Romney has is that he deserves to get himself elected.
Also there’s KLo over at NRO, who’s not from the same demographic. He doesn’t strike me as having sex appeal at all, so I don’t know if it’s some sort of father thing or what.
But Mitt has frustrating appeal to male urban NY “Republicans” as well—which makes me wonder how committed they are to any real GOP ideals.
Up in Boston there’s new growing finger-pointing at Mitt. He had shamelessly scapegoated a high-level GOP bureaucrat in his administration, Matt Amorello—unfairly pinning a Big Dig death on him—and Matt’s life has since totally disintegrated.
You’re right, MB—Mitt’s record is of a cold, calculating political climber. He’s all about Mitt.
I must be a week behind...
Oh well I will be right again come Monday, at least for 5-7 days...
Unless Romney has a mid week speech, then all bets are off on where he will stand until its over...
I did find someone that I enjoy listening to, though. On XM Radio at noon eastern time (channel 166) there is a guy named Andrew Wilkow. Straight up Conservative. Takes no crap off liberals at all.
I understand the theory that the most electable candidate should proceed to the general, but he's been playing it far too safe. His Norton pick lost in Colorado, and a few others. Not sure he believes the Tea Party can succeed.
On his side of the argument, RINO candidates like Kirk in Illinois, and Castle in Delaware conference with the R's and would make the pubbies the majority party, which is a big f 'n deal.
If the choice is between him and HillaryObama, I would. Same goes for Newt. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. The ticket in '12 is Petraeus-Palin.
Maybe Ann just loves anyone who may vote (R) in the next election.....and who pays her well
Hewitt is like Medved, in that centrist Republicanism is the goal, and neither one is tolerant of anything to the right of that, like a Palin.
Here is Hewitt’s book that he started writing in 2006 (pub March, 2007)in an effort to get Romney into the White House, notice that Hewitt went straight at the Christian conservatives by trying to mainstream Mormonism. Being a Republican regular on PBS (9 years)is really Hugh’s natural level of politics.
Eventually you come to realize that Hewitt isn’t analyzing politics and making accurate calls, instead he is constantly selling his moderate, pollyannish views and candidates.

Mitt was keeping that option open and was trying to portray himself as NOT pro abortion in Utah, while in fact he was a dedicated pro abortion politician and even a fund raiser for Planned Parenthood and Democrats.
Romney is not a ‘Progressive’ in the liberal Democrat sense of the word. He’s just more liberal than many conservatives would like.
Health care needed to be debated and fixed (fraud), a real mess as it now stands. We can never achieve an success in our country without compromise in some form on the hot button issues before us today..But spending definitely has to stop. Tax credits need to remain and added to. The likes of Barney Frank, Pelosi and friends all need to be gone.. like Yesterday! and I feel will be. They too have become over-exposed.
I think Sununu and Romney will run. Sununu is a favorite in the Northeast (NH). They also have appeared together recently. Newt is brillant but too stuffy and past over exposed. McCain is done. Cristy is too new.
Those like Brown are elected by the taxpayers of their state and have the duty to do the best for their own voters. Some love Brown and others are now angry when he votes with the Democrats part of the time on issues that effect his state. Goes for Collins as well.
For Republicans to just not back anything just because the Dems bring to vote and vise versa shows a broken, failed system and all of them have become spineless, There are leaders and there are followers and at the moment I see only followers on both sides-wind up toys bumping into one another only. The self annointed leaders are all full of themselves.
People/voters become non-periferal as well---like spoiled children screaming and stamping their feet if they do not get exactly everything they want.
I like Ingraham, I like Beck, but I don't make my decisions based on what they TELL me, do the research and don't take issues, "he said she said", out of context because of the personal bias of one poster, pundit or opinion writer.
Oh, in a perfect world. Is a mess I tell ya!! ;)
The Birthers get boring, spin their tires, spit gravel around - burn down some more rubber, ADD nothing new...I don't pay them much attention-- were way too late to the party anyway.
Agree...different degrees of all these tag word definitions.
The Levi reality show talk appears to be just another media fake story.
Palin is stuck with it...him and knows it. Her daughter needs to stop giving interviews, photo ops etc as well.
Palin has kids, one of them is a 19 year old woman, I’m surprised that a conservative gives so much thought to her and her ex fiance.
I do not yet see a Presidential hopeful from the Right. I enjoy Karl Rove especially after his host debute on Rush Limbaugh, but again along comes baggage, as others we have mentioned.
Perhaps you have a candidate you can feel strong about, but I do not...yet.
