Comments on: Romney To GOP: Put Our Own House In Order

Other Candidates Take Shots At Democrats, Romney Spreads The Blame

[prinzowhales]

The Republicans operate their con game politics using the old tried and true method of ''bait and switch''... They say what Americans want to hear but deliver only what the Oligarchy wants. The Jeb Bush backed Romney is one more poseur in a long line of Republican poseurs...he stands for a new face on bad policy, a bigger and better Gitmo. The policies that this wretched smarty-pants supports have caused the deaths of thousands of Americans and over one million Iraqis...(So much for his vaunted intelligence...Woodrow Wilson did well enough in school to pursue a career as a Princeton professor and his stupidity got us into a world war and poisoned our nation with the FED and the Income Tax.) So voters, line up behind his poor, dumb Labrador for the ride of your life in his howdy-doody station wagon...destination?-- Big Government, Eternal War and a New World Order. If you liked Woodrow Wilson and George W. Bush...you''ll love Mitt the Twit.

Morning to you Cfin5

How far our nation has wandered off of Constitution Road? Our "leaders" have wandered onto "Bond Street" and "Corporate Grove" .

[cfin5]

Morning radiob,.....Good historical quotes are the best medicine for governing yourself. It''s like a little "mirror" story that sticks in your thinker all day. The amount of guilt you feel when thinking of them (public opinion) is usually congruent with the amount your life (party) has strayed from the story (Constitution). Makes perfect common sense to me for all parties, companies, unions, state and local governments to breath the words of our Constitution from time to time.

"A house (nation) divided cannot stand" some words Abe Lincoln spoke that are relevant to today and our nation that are lost amongst both political parties.

A nation that no longer listens to its constituents and only listens to the sounds of the coins dropping in the bowl is blind.

A nation that has forgotten the principles on which it is founded is not a nation of the people by the people and for the people.

Mitt is the most viable moderate conservative in the Presidential race and the best qualified to bring new leadership with his vision for America''''s future.


Gov. Romney has an impressive resume to showcase. When elected governor in 2002 he assumed a monstrous 3 billion dollar deficit and put the state of Massachusetts back in the black without raising taxes. Mitt Romney also was the first elected leader in American history to bring %u201Chealth insurance%u201D to every citizen in his state of Massachusetts without raising taxes. That%u2019s what a smart business man can bring to ALL Americans if elected to the White House as President.


Mitt also bailed out the U.S. Olympics in Salt Lake City in 2002, and turned a $369 million deficit into a profit of $100 million dollars. I have nicknamed Mitt, "the Rominator", for obvious reasons.

Candidate Romney graduated valedictorian in undergrad; then pursued a double degree at Harvard (M.B.A. and law) graduating in the top 5% of his class while doing so.

Mitt has also taken a tough stance on terrorism and wants to expedite the end of US troops in Iraq. In a interview Mitt had with the Associated Press Mitt indicated that he did not want permanent US bases in Iraq.

Romney currently leads all Republican candidates in New Hampshire, Iowa, Michigan, and Nevada and is probably the most qualified candidate to ever run for president. If you want to check Mitt out go to www.mittromney.com

I am missing something here about the definition of big government? Seems to me the Military has become the biggest government program in the HISTORY of the United States under the REPUBLICAN watch. Am I to believe more lies and nonsense from these bandits? I really think Guiliani, Romney, McCain, Thompson, are making fools of themselves trying to portray the value of the Republican party. No one believes it, except of course the people who have their money in the Military Industrial Complex. These bandits have put us further in the hole in concern to debt than any time in history. The only sign I see on their on foreheads is EXIT HERE. Get OUT OF TOWN.

Mitt Romney has finally captured the single most important issue affecting the Republican Party in a nutshell. When the Republicans captured the White House and both Houses of Congress it was because they were the more attractive option, had a better agenda and successful sold it to the American people. Sadly, the Contract for America became the Contract on America instead. The Republicans fell apart in every context, in every way, even on their core issues like fiscal responsibility, National Security and making Americans feel safe especially in key issues like Hurricane Katrina, Port Security, Illegal Immigration, a solution on Health Insurance for all Americans most importantly America''s Children, the 5 year no end in sight Iraq War, the disgraceful un-Republican like 9 trillion dollar National Deficit, the scary Trade imbalance with China, ignoring the voice and will of the American people after the 2006 Election Vote mainly on Iraq, selling key U.S. assets like the Stock Exchange to foreign interest and an it''s all about me, me, me and s.c.r.e.w. middle class America for cheap foreign products and labor at the expense of the America, the American worker and people! The list continues and is long and distinguished and the Republicans have clearly embarrassed themselves almost beyond recognition especially and finally on the VALUES issues, their former strong suit with all the scandals, especially S.E.X. scandals! What happened to the Republican Party?

[homespunlady]

Sounds to me that Romney is attempting to become a weak imitation of Congressman Dr. Ron Paul. No Thanks. I''ve had enough of PHONY.

Let''''s start with the GOP war profiteers, the warmongers, the sleazeball, the adulterers, the pedophiles...

But wait, that''s all of them except Chuck Hagel! Even Romney is a sleazeball!

[jerr11]

Yeah, finally a real straight shooter!

Fat chance Romney, the GOP is too far gone

[sgtrds]

I really don''''t understand why Romney refuses to release his income tax filings and why he says that the Scientologist religious fiction is his favorite book...

Posted by jsilver2th at 08:54 PM : Sep 22, 2007


His particular religious cult (and all religions are cults at heart) doesn''t agree with Tom Cruise''s particular religious cult. I least I guess it''s better that he makes fun of the rather then tries to kill them like most other religions do with people that have a different myth then the one that they follow.

[walt1944-2009]

Mitt Romney has determined that Washington has failed the nation and Republicans need to put their house in order. While he will get no argument from anyone about Washington''s failure, I am sure that many right-wing Republicans will feel there is absolutely nothing wrong with the GOP, although if they were alive, Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Dwight Isenhower might argue that stupidity.

Tom Cruise must be trying to lure him away from those strange Mormon beliefs. Apparently it''s working.

Yeah, he really puts Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln in the shade, doesn''t he...

%u201CHe did give Bush some credit. "Let''s not forget that this president has kept us safe these last six years," Romney said.%u201D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By those standards we should give Bill Clinton credit for keeping us safe for 8 years after the first WTC bomb attempt.

Two Al Qaeda attempts/attacks have occurred ON AMERICAN SOIL.

One in 1993, on Bill Clinton%u2019s watch, where the perpetrators were caught and punished and one on 9/11/01 on Bush%u2019s watch, where the perpetrators have been forgotten/abandoned because they are not a concern to this president.

They are attacking us daily in Iraq and we can respond only after figuring out who made the attack which, In most cases (roadside bombs), cannot be done.

[finewoven]

Romney also praised the president for "restoring personal integrity and dignity to the White House."

Hmmmmm, really? Loyalty is so hard to find, especially during the fall of a hardened ideological establishment. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

[finewoven]

"or do we go in the direction of ... giving people more control over their own lives?" Rudy Giuliani

He wants Government to give people more control. This is backwards, and much of what he says comes across. The arrogance, to give people more control suggests it has already been taken away. It''s like out rhetoric "give Iraqi their freedom," or "give the victims of Katrina the support they deserve.

It presuppose that they already control us, and the political party can make a decision to hold onto the control, or "give" it back to the people. Do they really think that Government by the people for the people is represented by their ideology?

Oh, goody, Romney is so, so, so, ''qualified''...He went to the right schools...he''s oh, so the big, bad terrorism fighter...his big, bad Lab that gets the rendition rides on top of his station wagon (that''s right, the Republican Jack Bower rides to his torture sessions in an all-American station wagon)will go Woof! Woof! Woof! and put an end to this war on terror (and the scourge of psoriasis, as well). Its time for an end to business as usual in Washington. If the boneheads of America want to make Romney student body president...the fine. But, lets not let this fool, his holy sanctified and blessed underwear and his Establishment bona fides, any closer to White House than he can get with his station wagon, dog hauler and backseat full of wild-eyed RPG-wielding Young Republican jihadis could get in the face of a dug in Marine brigade.
