Jay Severin -- one of Romney's biggest supporters and a professional campaign manager -- spoke about the state of the presidential campaign. After first acknowledging that Independents do not like negative ads, he stated that unless Romney starts fighting as hard against Obama as Obama is against him, Romney loses. It's that clear to so many people on the right. Why Romney is being Mr. Rogers is open to debate. Romney is of the 50s and 60s generation, when the idea of an Obama in public office would have been regarded as either a stupid joke or alternate universe science fiction. Romney diesmbowled his Republican opponents but now apparently is being told by his team that he has to stay Mr. Nice "so as not to alienate voters."
I think Severin is correct. This election will mean either the death of the United States or its comeback.
“so as not alienate voters”
Newsflash....the voters are already alienated.
That is my opinion too. He his allowing the Obama machine to burn through their money, with little effect in the polls. In a couple of months, Romney will unleash on Obama.
The risk here is that the Obama campaign will get the chance to define Romney, if that happens, its bad news for Rom. I am sure the Romney camp is out there polling and getting a feel for how Obama's adds are (not) working.
This rope-a-dope wont go on for much longer.
I am still expecting the convention to realize its problem and hand the nomination over to someone who could win — like Palin.
“His flashes of anger are all an act to raise the hope that he might actually lose it. But it won’t happen.”
I’ll take that bet.
I agree. Romney is campaigning to lose.
It is in the RINO DNA: always lose to the far left Democrat.
Romney is so out of touch with REALITY that his paint-drying campaign speeches only point is to describe how bad Obama is.
WE KNOW how bad Obama is!
What we want to know is which 3 of Romney’s 59 points are going to REVERSE Obamanation?
Romney is the most DUMPABLE Primary Winner going against the worst Incumbent - - - and the polls call it correctly: THEY ARE TIED!
Give it to us straight Romney, or get out of the way!
BTW Romney, it just takes the delegates First Ballot ABSTAIN vote to DUMP you!
Tick-Tock - - -
May I borrow this quote?
” - - - Why Romney is being Mr. Rogers - - - .”
Soooooooooooooooooooo appropriate!
BTW, what WERE the RINOs thinking when they endorsed this stud muffin?
One thing about being a career flip-flopper: it’s hard to define him;)
That is the height of hypocrisy. He refuses to drink coffee, which has been shown to be good for your health. He refuses to drink Tea which has also been shown to be good for your health. He refuses to drink wine or beer, which in small quantities are very good for your health. Instead he drinks cokes, which have been shown to be horrible for your health and when he wants to party, he puts vanilla extract in his coke.
A Word of Wisdom for fools and idiots who wear magic underwear 24 hours a day.
BTW I make my own vanilla extract using aged Kentucky Bourbon. Romney probably drinks Vanillin which is fake vanilla. That would fit Romney who is as phony as fake vanilla.
QUICK! Someone tell Romney that Obama is a conservative...
THEN HE’LL ATTACK!
Romney isn’t even the official nominee yet. Relax.
I agree with your post #12 except for the last sentence, that there will be a civil war. There might be some property damage and looting in various Holdervilles, but there won’t be a civil war.
Your #14 is 100% correct.
Battles are going on in Congress.
Where is Mr. ROmneyCARE?
Mr. RomneyCARE could --AND WILL-- never have made a serious case against ObamaCARE for Americans
because 'but for Mr. Romney' NEITHER would exist.
Great picture of a bunch of happy, spendaholic politicians.
BTW, how many of them think that “ATM” stands for “Always Tax More?”
If it goes one way, you’re right. But what if Obama refuses to go, despite clear and convincing evidence that he is ineligible? Would you really put it past Holder to have a threat to Obama arrested? He does control the FBI and has had plenty of time to stack the deck in his favor.
My point is that, if indeed there is a deep dark secret that could kill the Obama presidency dead, it is obviously something that Obama knows about, and even more obviously something that Holder and a number of other people in the Obama administration have known about for years. If it gets out, they will have nothing to lose and can be expected to pull any lever, use any tool, do ANYTHING they can to retain power.
That, I believe, is the real reason why the establishment RINOs are too fearful to push that button. They’re hoping upon hope that if they can just win the election in November that Obama will go away in the usual way former Presidents leave office, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief.
I do not consider that likely.
I would hope that Romney would have the fortitude for the USA Constitution to really go after Obama on the eligibility matter. However, I doubt that he or any of his advisers have courage for this even to the extent of picking Rubio for VP which would negate the arguments and efforts of thousands if not millions that Obama should never have been eligible because of recorded parentage. One issue/can of worms Romney can open about Obama is where is Obama’s newly created pot of political gold stashed. As far as I know Romney has been much more forthright on this money issue.

He's doing an excellent imitation of McCain so far.
Pull out a plastic spork, means the same to Obama as if it were a Samurai sword.
