You're right, it doesn't really matter. It wouldn't have mattered either way.

The key to the GOP taking back the White House is to present a moderate candidate. I guess she and others are begining to see the writing on the wall.

It just shows why the GOP Establishment is wanting Romney. They want Romneycare and Obamacare. Ann Coulter is now supporting Romneycare. She has totally gone off the conservative reservation.

Romneycare Becomes Obamacare, Then Coultercare

The number of people who will find this distinction compelling in a general election is vanishingly small. Worse, the swing vote on the Supreme Court doesn't evaluate the constitutionality of laws based on the ratifying public's original understanding of the Constitution (though the court should). A critical mass of justices will look to see whether the president and Congress were acting on a mainstream view of acceptable government power. Coulter has given them a list of examples to bolster this view. Defending Romneycare undermines the arguments against Obamacare by making them looking like partisan point-scoring.

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.

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2012/0..._Politics_Blog

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.

I agree that speeches and interviews can be taken and twisted into something else. They did a huge hatchet job on Perry. After he left the race, MSNBC ran some blips of Perry and ended with his "See ya later, Mofo".

We should be checking backgrounds and records over this stuff. Perry had a good record. Romney, not much so.

But, I don't have as much problem with this video because, Romney does have a problem with framing what he says as, supposedly, a conservative.

His minimum wage comment was totally unconservative and rides the tails of his comments about not being concerned about the poor. Even if taken out of context, the context of the whole comment wasn't even a conservative message.

You may not have noticed, but I have a problem with Romney.

Newt Did Not Resign in Disgrace
10:53 AM, Feb 3, 2012

Newt Gingrich was hardly a perfect speaker of the House, but he did not resign in “disgrace” as has been repeatedly claimed by Mitt Romney. I say this as a former member of Congress who was part of both the “coup attempt” against him and the subsequent successful effort to remove him as speaker after the 1998 election.

There are plenty of reasons to oppose Newt Gingrich. I happen to support Rick Santorum. But the speaker has been unfairly maligned by Mitt Romney, and the full story needs to be told.
