Re: I Can't Stand Romney.
Love this article by Erik Erickson at Redstate. He's always good.
You'll be happy, crakjak. He will vote for Romney if he is the candidate.
The National Review’s Candidate Won’t Stop Digging
It is days like today that make me thankful I think they all suck. At least I’m thankful I’m in the firmly not Romney camp.
This morning Mitt Romney said he wasn’t concerned about the poor. The poor, after all, have food stamps and Medicaid. But don’t worry. If the safety net is broken, Patrician Mitt Romney will fix it so the poor can stay comfortably poor. After all, just look what he did in Massachusetts. The poor can now wait 44 days to get in to see a doctor. Excelsior!

So you don't think we have a big enough safety net for the poor.
Romney was beat up all day for that remark. By people that want to look stupid, he never said nor meant what the mass media and the Newt crowd have lied about all day long. But hey, all is fair in war, love and politics, you know! Take a partial comment and say someone said they don't care about the poor. Romney gave over four million dollars the charity, so I guess he doesn't care.
At least he won't vote for Obama!!! That should be instructive for you, PO.

The point is that the choice of wording was a fundamental lack of understanding about conservative ideology. Conservative economics is that our policies are going to help everybody, including the poor.
DeMint even addressed Romney on his comments instructing him to "backtrack and reframe". His comments make it look like he is all right with having Americans who are dependent on government-subsidized social programs.
So, your point on Gingrich lying all day long is lame. Toe Torry!
And really, if you say "not concerned" - bad choice. And if you say, there is a "safety net", it makes it look like you are not going to help the poor move out of that place in life. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. Romney = Obama

Erik Erickson would have to make that commitment. He has the most popular and respected conservative blog. Fortunately, I do not have to make any commitment.
Character assassination is another form of voter fraud.
How is your recruiting going? 'Cause you know come hell or high water, I ain't votin' for him.
If he won, turned this economy around and we were popping champagne corks in the street, I still wouldn't vote for him. If he lied about Gingrich's ethic violations, that he was cleared on in order to win Florida, when he knew he was cleared, what will he do in the White House to get his way? Not doing it. Toe torry!

I don't think I've turned a single vote. Think Mitt will fire me? No problem, looks like he may just about have it sewn up now, specially since "the Donald" has come out for him. LOL

The GOP Establishment had it sewn up before the election started.

Romney: Adjust Minimum Wage for Inflation
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Wednesday reiterated his position that the minimum wage should rise automatically with inflation. His top rival, Newt Gingrich, later criticized the idea.

A basic principle of conservatism is that minimum wage is anti-business and is a job killer, not a creator. Romney doesn't get that as a, self-claimed, conservative?
There is a huge difference between a Capitalist and a Corporatist. Romney is a Corporatist. Romney = Obama.

Don't you just love how political commercials like this take a few tiny soundbites and twist it around to make it sound evil. MSNBC did this with Rick Perry ... showed a small clip of a campaign speech, then twisted it to infer he was saying something else. Of course, MSNBC had to retract after people complained about their dishonest tactic.
Who didn't see this coming after seeing the interview and reading the blowup after it?
This commercial is as intellictually dishonest as Obama and Buffett's claim on taxes.
