1. Gingrich was Speaker of the House, a history making figure and national leader.
Mitt Romney was a failure as a Governor, he was the 4th Republican Governor in a row, in a state that prefers Republican Governors, Romney devastated the state’s GOP, they lost seats in both elections while he was Governor, Romney wanted to, but could not run for reelection, he left office with 34% approval and the Democrats have owned the seat ever since. You are totally ignorant of the man’ electability, by the way, he didn’t reach 50% in that single election victory of his life.
2. Romney’s most unpleasant and harshest form of “business success” will haunt him in the election.
3. Romney was the 4th Republican Governor in a row, in a state that prefers Republican Governors, that doesn’t show electability, and since when did any Republican consider being Governor of Massachusetts, being electable to lead the conservative party? Did Romney’s mentor and political hero, President of the United States, William Weld, tell you that?
4. Bishop Romney’s cult leadership, his family history of having immigrated to the United States 171 years ago, solely to personally serve the Cult leader, and the perfect, unbroken record of all Romney males avoiding serving the United States in uniform during that entire 171 years, and the fact that they are cult royalty and have transferred many tens of millions of dollars into attacking Christianity, makes his family history a nightmare of satanic horrors and polygamy, a betrayal of America as they literally fled our laws to Mexico, to serve their perversions.
5. The (Winter) portion of the Olympics? The one in Utah, that was being ravaged by corrupt Mormon politicians? The media will quickly uncover how the thing that propelled the Mormon Bishop, the fulfillment of the cult’s “White Horse Prophecy” into his single success for political campaigning, was a Mormon Bishop and future Presidential candidate, fixing a Mormon problem, in a state owned by the Mormon cult, and his success in that less than history making turn around was largely assisted by the leadership of the cult itself controlling the compliance of the corrupt Mormons who faced never becoming polygamous Gods, if they did not help Cardinal (Stake President) Romney clean up their mess.
If you read FR everyday then you know that FR is devoted to defeating Romney, and that Newt Gingrich is the freerepublic candidate. You don’t read FR everyday.
1. No doubt Gingrich has a good record. Romney, however, ran surpluses his last two years in office. He came in to a huge shortfall. He moved the state legislature to reduce spending by over $1 billion. How other people ran their own campaigns is not his fault. Otherwise, you could say that Mitt’s approval ratings drop went in line with Bush’s. So does that mean its Bush’s fault? Approval ratings don’t necessarily correlate with a good or bad job. And since it was in Massachusetts, shouldn’t that be a good thing by your reasoning?
2. I don’t agree that Capitalism is harsh and unpleasant. What Romney did epitomizes free markets. He helped build struggling companies, and the ones that died deserved to die. Why? Because that is what the market decided.
3. Sorry, but getting elected Governor in a hostile environment is proof of electability. Being reelected for 20 years in a gerrymandered Congressional district is not.
4. By the very definition of the word cult, Mormonism is not a cult. Knock it all you want, and it is not my religion either, but if Gingrich is the nominee, you’ll be praying that the Mormons in Nevada go your way in November. Religious bigotry may be your thing, but don’t let it cloud your judgment.
5. Yes, the winter olympics. A billion dollar enterprise, with a 300 million shortfall, that he turned into a profit of just under 100 million. Responsibility for something like 20,000 paid and unpaid employees. All of these things are more than the number of budget dollars and/or employees that the other candidates have been responsible for, combined and times 10.
I know that FR is not a pro-Romney place. That is obvious. But let me repeat myself one more time... you are just spiting your own party.
