Romney, Tonight: ‘I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed.’
National Review Online ^ | Thursday August 30, 2012

Posted on 08/30/2012 4:28:51 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

Some of you will want to read portions of Romney’s speech before he delivers it; some will not.

For those that do, the excerpts that have been released by the Romney campaign are below:

I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed. But his promises gave way to disappointment and division.  This isn’t something we have to accept. Now is the moment when we CAN do something. With your help we will do something.

Now is the moment when we can stand up and say, “I’m an American. I make my destiny. And we deserve better! My children deserve better! My family deserves better. My country deserves better!”

I have NO problem with this. We need to pick up enough of those wishy-washy voters, and this kind of talk is exactly what we need.

You see for me, WINNING IS PARAMOUNT. And if this is what it takes, God bless him. Us right wing crazies are already going to be holding our noses as we vote, we'll just have to avert our eyes and ears a little until then too.

"I hope he fails"

"I wish he had succeeded"

Romney ... a total moron. Is he clueless as to Obamas goals?

Just keep in mind, tonight’s speech isn’t for us, it’s for the independents.....that’s reality.

Channeling McCain and reminding us why we didn’t vote for him in the primaries. He wanted the third generation Communist on both side of the family to succeed?

Exactly. That’s where this election will be won or lost.

Also it is a smart move strategically to disarm the moon bat libtards that think equating wanting Obama to fail with racism....dulls that dem talking point...

Proof that Rush is the most relevant man in America.

But Romney is running for president and it makes sense for him to attack Obama over his stated goals rather than his unstated ones as Rush did, even if Obama’s heart was really in the unstated ones (e.g. to turn America into a soft socialist Euroboob welfare state).

That pic of Rush as sinister mafia don is great. I'll bet it's one of his favorites.

I’m gong to watch Romney’s speech and I despise him and will not vote for him and he illegally violated party rules to take over the Republican Party. The name of that party now, is, “Bain 2 Party”.

I think Romney, aided by a GOP Congress, probably does more long term damage to America than a second term Obama, opposed by a GOP Congress.

For a present day small example of Romney already actively working to undermine our Constitution simply read this thread;

For an example of Romney already actively working to undermine the TEA Party, and locking conservatives out from having any influence during this, and especially future elections, read this thread;

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2923944/posts

SO you say you’re going to make sure that Romney ‘gets pushed to the right’?

Where were you when the above happened?

Like most of us, you were unaware of it happening, unaware of current Republican Congressional Leaders playing a key roles, implementing the Socialization of America right under our noses. None of us knew until it was too late.

As devastating as the above incidents are to America, and especially the TEA Party movement, they are but a tiny, tiny preview of what 4 years of Romney is going to do to our Conservative movement.

Obama isn’t going to have the friendly Congress that Romney will, and even when he tries to implement the very same Socialized laws and regulations that Romney would, he’s going to meet enemy fire.

With Romney, the Conservative movement is going to go down from ‘friendly’ fire.

Oh well this presidential run is over with. Looks like Mitt took a page out of McCain's notorious successful campaign strategy play book with that great sound bite of “Obama would make a good president.” I guess Mitt thinks that gem will reel in all the dems and those all so crucial independent voters out there.

Bottom line if Mitt can't close the deal in November it want be his lack of conservative votes it will be totally on Mitt's ineptitude in running his campaign for president, his character, and nothing else.

Tell us Mitt if BO had been successful then what?: You would be at the DNC convention cheering him on? Well there you go all you Mitt people that say Romney is not Obama. I guess there is proof in his own words now and not just his stance on the issues he supports.

The party should be called liberal lite.
Romney set out to destroy the conservative candidates with lies and distortions, yet he will give Obama credit for trying - vomit.

That would only happen if Obama were a conservative, since he is not Romney wont.

I have an idea, stop caving to the squish no nothing idiots who call themselves independent and speak the truth of conservatism.
Aren’t you tired of Republican men who are nominated who have no testosterone.
Good grief when will the Republican party be for something and step up to save the country.
This we are just like democrats but not as bad is boring.

Can’t win elections without the independents, and if you don’t win elections, you can’t do squat.
