Now we will put to the test what was always an odd claim, namely that Mitt Romney is well positioned and well equipped to defeat Barack Obama this fall. This is a man who lost by 17 points to an incredibly weakened Ted Kennedy (people forget how vulnerable Kennedy was that year) in one of the most pro-Republican years in history, 1994 (the same year in which Rick Santorum won yet another upset victory); a man who would have been handily defeated if he had run for re-election as governor of Massachusetts in 2006; and a man who could barely squeak past his GOP opponents this year despite running almost non-stop for nearly six full years and despite outspending all of them combined by at least a 2-1 margin, while outspending each of them individually by at least 4-1 and running ads that were 90% negative against them.
Plus, he's a perfect caricature for Obama's anti-corporate-elite message to take root. Plus, he's plastic.
The GOP establishment -- the money men, the consultants who so repeatedly spread the message that only Romney could beat Obama while they angled for a piece of the lucrative campaign pie, the hangers-on and officious kingmakers, and the cultural elitists who secretly share much of the big media's cultural attitudes and disdain for middle America -- now must prove they can actually deliver a victory. If they can't, the GOP should have a figurative bloodletting that banishes them forever from party power.
Nonetheless, every conservative, and everybody who loves this country and cares about its traditions, its Constitution, and its freedom, should do nothing other than help that establishment succeed....

Romney was chosen to lose.
Chosen by Rove. Chosen by the DNC.
Chosen by Soros.
Chosen because HE is ineligible.
Chosen because HE invented gay marriage.
Chosen because HE invented ObamaCARE/ROmneyCARE>
Chosen because HE supports TARP and sharia.
And the RMNE LOVES him for it.
People were upset with me months ago when I stated how the people of Pennsylvania disliked Santorum and how he would not win his home state. Little did I know that confronting a loss there would lead to his demise.
Ted Kennedy was never going to lose that seat until he died.
Well, you gotta hand one thing to Romney: he doesn’t need a teleprompter to lie to us.
| With 'Mitt the Flip' the Republican Party just effed up real bad. The GOP establishment has been feeding us crap sandwiches for years and this is no exception. Sadly too many so-called 'Republicans' want the free lunch too. Romney will say whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear. He'll tell Planned Parenthood that he is their guy and then tell us he's a conservative. That is what Mittens does.

I have a suspicion that some of the negative ads ran in the primaries were paid for by Obama’s stooges. They clearly got the weakest link to run against him. Just like 4 years ago. I hope the 4 years of depression keeps America from making the worst choice again.
Chosen to make the Obama vote fraud appear much less obvious (and a lot less work).
Chameleon-Ineligible Democrat Milt to Felon DiMasi:
"I bet you $10,000 that despite the evil we do today,
imposing Death Panels and gay marriage by force,
I will lie and "win" the GOP by vote fraud
-- while YOU, BAIN-less sucker, will rot in prison
for eight years for what we have been paid to do this, partner."
“Chosen to make the Obama vote fraud appear much less obvious (and a lot less work).”
The power lies not in those with the ability to cast votes, but in those responsible for counting the votes!
I can’t think of a single issue important to conservatives that we wouldn’t have to concede for Romney.
He’s not a RINO, he’s an outright democrat running as a republican. We may as well have Joe Lieberman as our nominee.
Romney will help Obama. Romney ALWAYS HELPS OBAMA.
Romney for Obama in 2008
The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

Romney - the Magic RINO:
"I'm not running as the Republican view
or a continuation of Republican values.
That's not what brings me to the race.
(Romney Video, accessed 9/19/07)
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn't make any sense at all.""
-- President Ronald Reagan
Dear FRiend,
If YOU learn about the past backstabbing of
Romney (urls above) then YOU will understand
what happened.
It is not rationale to reward the traitor.
Did George Washington resign and make Benedict Arnold
President in his own place? No.

“People were upset with me months ago when I stated how the people of Pennsylvania disliked Santorum and how he would not win his home state. Little did I know that confronting a loss there would lead to his demise.”
What does this thread have to do with Santorum? This was a weak field of candidates from the beginning. I was hoping for Palin, then backed Cain, then by the time Cain dropped out Santorum was the only viable anti-Romney. However, Santorum certainly has his flaws, and made several missteps over the last few weeks that doomed his already weak candidacy. It didn’t help that (as the article points out) he was outspent at least 4-1 in every state where he competed with Plastic Mitt. Still he won several states.
Romney is a poor candidate, the antithesis of the Tea Party spirit that prevailed in the 2010 election, and pretty much the worst possible choice to try and beat 0bama in 2012. This article is spot on.
Dear FRiend, Mea culpa.
That should have been “... backstabbing BY Romney ...”
Worth repeating.
Further, if the GOP can't swing back to being a true small government, pro freedom party, it will be past time for an actual Tea Party that fields its own candidates against both Republicans and Dems.
