The War on Moms

[deacon blues]

As far as being sore at Mitt for hammering on Newt in FL, do you recognize Newt's vulnerabilities and hypocrisies? I like Newt, but he is a flawed candidate and extremely pompous. He hasn't seemed to make too many friends over the years and has really alienated a lot of folks from his past. I don't think he would be very effective as president. You've got to have the ability to be a people person. Newts intelligent and articulate. A people person? Not so much...

The only reason to take up against Mitt at this point is if you are in fact an Obama fan or supporter. I didn't want Mitt. My guy is done. I will therefore stand with Mitt b/c he is better than Obama.

Heck, resurrected Bin Laden would be better than more Obama.

I will be voting for Newt in the Texas Primary even though I know the fix is in and has been in since way before the primaries got off the ground.

Newt's Past and Future Leadership

They suggest Mitt Romney may be better positioned to stitch together a safe campaign that noses out Obama by a point or two, or comes up short by a point or two. He might be that candidate.

Thus, Romney received the endorsement of the GOP political types -- congressmen and former congressmen. Now they are doubling down on their early bet and are out telling reporters that Gingrich was never much of a leader and never got much done.

In dangerous times, the safer choice for president is not the candidate who has always played it safe, nor is it the candidate who has not already faced and defeated adversity.

Thank you, Tony! You are right, even though I am sure we probably won't see it.

I say Ann is right and Mitt will do well to listen to that advice and stay off the contraception issues and abortion issues and focus on job creation and sound fiscal policy. Rosen's attempt to criticize Ann is stupid regardless of what she meant to say. Ann no doubt is share, intelligent and a person of excellent character. And if the Dems and Romney opponents want to keep whipping her, go for it, it will only help the Romney campaign.

It's like saying, well my team, the Cleveland Cavaliers are out of the playoff picture. I don't like it but I'm going to go-ahead and pull for Oklahoma City to win it all. But I'm certainly NEVER gonna pull for the Cuban National team to win, EVER!

Not a great analogy for the scenario going on in this election. It's ridiculous to think I would support Romney just because he is slated to win. Obama won and he was the worst. Supporting someone on principle is more important to me than whether they win or not.

Mitt is a set-up candidate. Conservatives fell for the Hillary Rosen story hook line and sinker. A total political set-up. Romney was happy for it because it gave him a chance to rally the troops and Obama was happy because it got Michelle off the table. The shere timing of Romney's response to the story was enough to give you a clue it was a political set-up. Are people just blind or what?

If you think Obama won't go after Ann in the general election, think again. As much as Romney went after his fellow candidates with all the fervor of the black plaque, don't think he will go after Michelle in the general. Throwing Rosen under the bus by the Democrats was only a small truce between the spouses, for now. They don't want us to look too closely at Michelle.

And while some might have been offended by Rosen's remarks, there are a whole lot of others that know it is, today, a luxury to stay at home with your children. Some women will say that it's good for Ann, but there will be many others that will look at it as on the point of "privilege". Romney never served in the military and neither did any of his five sons. No, it's not fair, but bank on it. That's what it is. Romney needs to get out of the culture war. He is looking too much like Obama.

More Conservatives are very put off by the way Romney took down his opponents one by one. And it's not that he did it, it's the way he did it. Mainly, by dishonest means. Even if he wins, we will still be staring just as much at a virtual statist administration as the current one, and that is nothing to get excited about.

Romney thinks daycare is the answer?

How about try paying the husband / father a decent and livable wage and let the women stay home to raise their children the way it used to be.
