“Impossible....we were told that Mitt is weak, an idiot, an amateur, an agent of the left, blah, blah,blah.”
It’s incredible to me to listen to some “conservatives who seem to forget how our political system is set up. It seems as if they too want to change the system to suit some other model.
We had one of the most brutal and illuminating Republican primaries imaginable which Mitt Romney won, fairly and according to our own rules. Now, some Conservatives want to keep playing the tired old “ it isn’t fair” game that the Libs are so fond of playing.
Mitt Romney wasn’t the candidate for which I voted. But he won the nomination. To keep whining and evangelizing about first choices accomplishes nothing for us but plenty for the opposition.
The candidates who lost to Mitt Romney have mostly laid the Primary to rest and have gotten on about the business of supporting the ticket and putting the Socialist/Marxist out of our Whitehouse.
However, some keep beating the “lesser of two evils is still evil and I won’t vote” drum. Make no mistake; if you don’t vote, you share the blame if Obama wins. And if Obama wins another term, you can also share the blame for the end of this Nation as we know it.
Mitt Romney is a Republican and we would have a very good chance of swaying him one way or another on issues of importance. We will have zero,zilch, nada chances of swaying the Dictator and Chief. The last three and a half years ought to have proved that.
The Bible says “render unto Ceasar the things that are his.” We, unlike the Romans, can have some say, however small, about who “Ceasar” is and his policies. I still wonder, at this point, what alternatives are realistic for those Conservatives who are so disgruntled.
So at least watch the 10 minute clip attached to this article is all I have to say (I intend to watch the full speech later). Romney has either been coached well or he has found his mojo - or combination of the two. He was on fire during this speech. Not the wooden cliche-ridden speech we've come to expect. It was passionate and full of the kind of plain talk we've come to expect from Reagan or Palin. Mainstream media coverage or not, if this is the kind of speech Romney maintains on the campaign trail and at the convention (where many people will hear him unedited on TV for the first time) - he will win this election by a wide margin.
What Obama said a few days ago about business people and how they are not responsible for their own success will be his undoing - so long Romney does not let that moronic statement die on the vine. The mainstream media will never show Obama making that moronic statement which by the say, sums up perfectly what Obama is all about - radical socialization of America. It is up to Romney to keep this alive and judging by the crowd reaction at this speech - Romney has a winning theme...take back America from this radical leftist socialist.
On another note, I've seen an increasing amount of consternation from Freepers here that Romney does not appear to be on the offensive and that Obama is putting out all these ads that are uncontested.
Well I am not sure that all Freepers are aware that campaign laws forbid Romney from using the money he is collecting for his campaign until AFTER the election. Due to the competitive primaries, Romney has already spent most of his pre-convention money which means that after the convention, he will have a pile of it to spend in just eight or nine weeks.
Because Obama didn't have any competition in the primaries, he is spending his pre-convention money now - making it seem that Romney is not even putting up a fight.
So the TV/radio ad war will be joined as soon as the convention ends. In the meantime, listen to the Romney stump speech. I was much encouraged by it and this bodes well for the fall campaign that has yet to come.
Let us think for a moment about Obama’s “You didn’t build that” statement.
As John H. Sununu (Sr.) observed this morning on Fox and Friends, that Obama looked away from his teleprompter when he made that statement. It was freed Obama deviating from the script.
Let us carry that observation a little further and speculate:
1. ) Did Obama get a tad over confident that he had already beaten Romney, let his guard down and spoken from his black, (no pun intended, as that would be racial profiling), heart?
2.) Was this statement a trial balloon for Obama’s second inaugural victory speech?
3.) Did this statement reveal why Obama’s handlers insist that Obama read THEIR canned speeches on THEIR teleprompters?
4.) Will Obama continue to add to his “Commune Amerika” Agenda in the rest of the Campaign?
BTW, IMHO # 4 has something to do with woods and bears, but I forget how it goes - - - .
