I've been talking about Romneys apparent strategy of playing "prevent defense" against Obama even before this writer wrote this and I know there's another saying about 'prevent defense' - it prevents the one leading from actually winning most times

You don’t win a game by playing defense. You have to go on the offense eventually. Romney needs to step up and take it all on. Quit running scared.

Mitt Romney: Use when lying and looting aren’t quite enough to bring conservatives into the fold.

BEHOLD THE GOP’s CHAMPION = MR.ROMNEYCARE
IMPOSING THE GOP's SIGNATURE ACHIEVEMENT: DEATHPANELS.


"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

This is why Romney is the unelectable candidate. There is no true killer instinct to achieve a path to victory.

ROTFLMAO....Romney fans! This is just one of many disasters coming to Romney fans. The next four years are going to be comical and glad I won’t have anything to do with it.

Ole Mitt's worried that he might accidentally win the election... we can't have that, can we?

I'm completely convinced that the "America's first black president" experiment is/was a joint effort between the DNC and the GOP, and Obama's reelection is part of the plan. The "message" they're trying to convey with this experiment would fail if Obama fails to get a 2'nd term.

With the damage that Obamacare does to the economy Romney would be better off attacking both and tying them together.

Looks like he’s McCain part 2. Surrender monkey’s are all we seem to get running as Republicans these days. WTF?

And we've got to support "Establishment Republican" LOSER Romney?!?
Damn, how can we be so cursed with such a loser as Romney? We must have a revolt at the GOP Convention!

As if this nobody author and his forgettable blurb is the final word on the gameplan for this campaign. There wil ba attacks on obamacare just wait.

Besides, what is Romney to say? If he says its a tax he agrees with the liberal wing of the Court. If he says its a penalty he agrees with Scalia, Thomas and obama.

No matter what he says someone is going to find fault with it.

Michelle Bachmann warned us that we can’t give up this issue, or was it Santorum?? Probably both. But the powers that be pushed Romney on us anyway so Obama would be in the clear. The House refused to defund it, Boehnor and Cantor complicit. McConnell and every republican in the Senate refused to deny unanimous consents that would have slowed its passage and then went along with Reid’s desire to pass it on Christmas Eve. At every turn, we have been betrayed by our own leaders, and Romney and his camp seem to be going along. Just great!

Oh, good grief. We have pounded King Barack for not creating jobs in favor of everything else from obamacare to amnesty. Now we’re going to pound on Romney for not focusing on obamacare instead of creating jobs?

Even more to the point, if Mittens is unwilling to campaign against OC, why should anyone believe he would go to the mat to repeal it if he was elected? We shouldn't, because he won't.

And Mitch [Obama's Bitch] McConnell is now out there backpedaling on his "tough" statement that as Senate majority leader he'd work tirelessly to repeal OC.

This is so Effin' disgusting, I feel like taking the rest of the day off and going to the range. Put a 100 rounds through the AR15..and the Marlin 30/30...and the Savage 350. Ah hell, I'll just shoot everything.

Every time I read this crap, I somehow kill another $50 to $100 in ammo at the range. I'm gonna have to cut the food budget soon

Pawlenty is as exhiting as watching grass grow. Portman also but at least he is right on the issues.

I hope this guy Romney knows what he is doing, but I am beginning to worry. Especially as Murdoch said AMATEURS are running his campaign.

By the way, WHERE ARE those Romney boosters on this forum? They were all over the place before the primaries were finished. Guess they went the way of the Bushbots.

RE :”Mitt Romney, after giving a brief statement decrying the decision, has been virtually silent on criticizing the health care law. He's been on vacation and his campaign has been giving off clear signals that it doesn't want to make health care a major part of the election.

I can't imagine why. 'Obam-ney Care'

Maybe Romney sees an attack on Obamacare to be an attack on him. His message of “I will repeal and replace Obamacare on my first day in office”, besides being impossible, led to questions of “replace with what, exactly?”, and he’d be unwilling to reveal that.

So he sees the safer path as avoiding that trap.

He’s very, very cautious. And timid. And shy. Not aggressive, or possibly passive-aggressive.

Looking back on Romney’s record,just what in it would lead someone to believe that he actually disagrees with the kenyan about anything? Obomneycare? Economics? what else is Obomneycare but the biggest throttling of the free market in American history is, in fact, the Health Care Act about which Romney doesn’t wish to argue. Romney is a socialist, just like Obama but he will be nicer about it. We have crossed the line into inevitable totalitarian socialism when we run two socialists against each other for president and think we are going to change anything or restore anything. The big difference between them, beyond Romney’s personableness, is that Romney can get socialist measures past a Republican Congress a little easier than the kenyan can.

Well, Gingrich did his job, preventing anyone else from challenging Romney. I hope the leftwing scum goes bankrupt. How long after that will he come out as a born again progressive., who saw the light?
