Re: I Can't Stand Romney.
I can't stand him either, or any other politician. So my vote goes to PO's dog, may he RIP.

I will say that if God vetted his people like we do our political candidates, there would be no man left standing.

Re: I Can't Stand Romney.
No, if God vetted His people the way we do our political candidates, Heaven would not be a place fit to be.

Re: I Can't Stand Romney.
Yep, we aren't very good at picking our leaders.

I think it's more of lack of good choices.

Re: I Can't Stand Romney.
We had a couple of good choices this time, however the media eliminated some of them fairly early. I was a supporter of Michelle Bachman, but now I am backing Santorum.

Re: I Can't Stand Romney.
I am remembering another hit that Romney took to Gingrich about Reagan never mentioning him, trying to portray Gingrich as not being really "Reaganesque".
Quote:
McFarlane, Shirley: Gingrich a 'Very Enthusiastic Supporter” of Reagan
"Newt Gingrich was an enthusiastic supporter of President Ronald Reagan and his policies and was a frequent White House visitor, a high-level Reagan official asserted, refuting charges leveled against the former speaker of the House by Mitt Romney's campaign."
Part of the Romney attacks on Gingrich is the claim that in Reagan’s diaries, Gingrich is only mentioned once. McFarlane, however, offered an explanation.
“It is true and seldom noticed that when a member of Congress comes down and brings a colleague it is always called, in this case, Jack Kemp’s meeting and President Reagan in his diary would habitually note he had a meeting with Jack Kemp … or whomever it might have been,” he said.
“The fact that there were colleagues there at the same time … was not trivial. It may have been a Jack Kemp meeting but it was a joint effort and quite enthusiastic follow-up from Newt Gingrich from those meetings. But they were routine, go back to the record and see how many times Jack Kemp is in there and it was probably a Jack Kemp-Gingrich meeting.”

And I am so happy someone wrote something about Ann Coulter. She has fallen over the cliff, gone off the reservation, is imploding on herself.
Quote:
Who Castrated Ann Coulter?
She once had cast iron… well… courage. Now she's backing the "safe" GOP candidate.
Once immutable where her core convictions were concerned, she has executed a vertigo-inducing volte-face in order to promote a brazen opportunist whose positions on the big issues were the opposite of hers before he began running for President. She relentlessly trashes Republican "moderates" like McCain, yet now supports a candidate who makes the Arizona Senator look like Barry Goldwater by comparison.
Her inexplicable support for Romney has led her beyond being merely wrong about his chances in the general election to writing things that are either deliberately disingenuous or genuinely ignorant.
Robert Moffitt of the Heritage Foundation, whom Coulter tells us was so excited about Romneycare that he "flew to Boston for the bill signing," realized years ago that mandates were not an effective mechanism for eliminating the "free-rider" problem. Since 2008, he has vigorously advocated "far better alternatives to the individual mandate."
And if the primary voters are foolish enough to follow her advice, they will rue the day they listened to her and the establishment Republicans with whom she has now made common cause.

Noting the information on Moffitt at Heritage - after viewing the mandate closer, Moffitt changed his stance on that, as did Newt Gingrich. I believe we remember this coming up in one debate where Romney tried to say that Newt was for a mandate and Newt replied so was the Heritage Foundation and they were looking for an answer to the Hillarycare problem.

Any individual in politics longer than 10 years will likely have flip-flopped on one or more issues. Yes, Romney is on the long list of flip-floppers...including Santorum who voted FOR Bush's No Child Left Behind, but now is saying he wants to REPEAL it.
Apparently ole Ricky should stand down as well...

Yes, Romney is on the long list of flip-floppers. Yes, Santorum has some of his own. The difference in the two is that Romney can't get ahead in the polls without his negative ads toward other candidates for the same things he has supported. That is why I can't stand him.
