“running away from the tea party”

I am not sure about that but…….Yes, it’s time to "shrink" the field.

yep it is time to "Shrink" the field, and the first should be that homosexual pedophile loving Romney.

Want the proof?

Now don't forget to put the http:// in front and the .html on the end.

The "key endorsement" Romney needs is the 75% that continues to look for someone else. These are not just Tea Party members that are not enamored with him... main-streamers have doubts too.

I really don't see much a difference between the tea party, and the republican party.

Yeah, who the hell anointed her a "rising star" in the GOP? Not my impression at all.

Cain "Doh"

Perry "Oops"

Bachmann "Obamacare"

Newt "I am the smartest, me, me, me"

What is with the GOP trying to find the dumbest candidate they can? President Obama is finally restoring respect for the US with his intelligence and the ability to actually form a complete sentence.

Money Can't Buy You Love

Actually phinephancy if you think about it for a minute, as you just alluded to, the GOP establishment is running away from the Tea Party now slowly but surely. And the reason is because they know deep down inside what they're up against with President Obama.

He's a good debater, he's genuine, he's smart, he's got a good sense of humor, he's handsome, he's well educated, he has a lovely family, and he has accomplished quite a bit. In very little time.

Just the fact that the Middle East is now looking at us for inspiration is all you need to know about how far we have come in so little time.

So the GOP have to come up with someone they feel is equal to the challenge.

That candidate doesn't exist, so they'll have to settle on Mitt. It's not a good match up and everyone knows it. It's why his polling #'s haven't improved. They will though as one by one the others fall by the wayside, one primary at a time.

But Mitt hasn't accomplished anything. That's his problem.

What this represents actually, is the republican establishment trying to force the issue. They want to cut it off before Ron Paul gains a caucus or primary victory.

I've watched a lot of elections and this is the earliest I've ever seen sitting politicians come out in support of a candidate.

The Republican establishment is getting desperate. They are afraid of Ron Paul.

The usual bunch of brain dead idiots from the left!!!!!

What intelligence? If he had any intelligence he would not be the biggest loser president......an intelliget person would not make such horrible decisions that is now sinking the country!! He is an abysmal failure!

Did

I would love it if Paul ran as the spoiler.

Me too!

Paul has already stated that he would absolutely NOT run as a third party candidate.

Obama is toast, everyone except the ultra left knows this. The ones that want Ron Paul to run anyway are the democrats, that is how they will win, the only other way they win is if Ron Paul doesn't get the republican Nomination and his followers stay home on election day. (which is probably what will happen, I know it will happen in my house. No more halfway candidates, if we can't nominate a true conservative to stop the socialist take over of America, I'll stay at home and clean my guns and wait for the revolution)

I'll say one more thing, If that perverted dip Mittney get the nomination, I'll guarantee an Obama Victory)

Romney is the manchurian candidate, he is more liberal than Obama.

If he gets nominated and elected it WILL be the death of the USA as a representative republic.

I do agree with you Ron any of the current nominated or future nominated almost anyone could beat this loser!

Happy Hobo, Barack Obama has been the biggest failure as a President that I have seen in my lifetime. Carter was awful, but Obama actually makes him look good. Obama took an economy in decline and allowed his Congress and Senate to let it completely tank. Now that it appears obvious that he won't get re-elected, he has set out to really sink what's left of the economy by tanking the Keystone Pipeline, and oil and natural gas prospects in Ohio. He's obviously corrupt (Solyndra, Fisker) and incompetent (Justice Department "Fast and Furious" debacle). He's a one term President and I can't wait for a debate on the economy between him and Romney. No teleprompter there, Happy Hobo, he's going to have to depend on his sorry a$$ record.

Bill CT. Mitt has indeed flipped on several issues. Is it your contention that Obama is rock solid on all his positions? He flips more than flounder on a fishing pier. It's about results, Bill. Romney has a record in Business, in Massachusetts, and the Olympics. Obama has a record as President. Now who's do you think is better? Never mind. I read your previous post. It's obvious you're a loser backing a loser that was able to lie his way into office and convince a lot people that he was something he clearly wasn't and isn't.

Ive heard Romney and Obama called Flip and Flop on many occasions. Makes you all warm inside, doesn't it. Oh wow Oh wow Oh wow!

Thanks for your service, Bill, Just for the record, you weren't the only one in Nam, and wrapping yourself in the flag won't make you any brighter, but you did serve, and we should all be grateful. The loser comment was directed at someone that couldn't resist firing an insult off at someone they have never met by calling them a Ditto head. What little I've heard from Rush Limbaugh, which is the source of the Ditto head comment, would indicate he doesn't care much for Romney. Now, about Romney. Let's take a look at his background, shall we.

Romney was heavily recruited and, after graduation, chose to remain in Massachusetts and go to work for Boston Consulting Group (BCG), thinking that working as a management consultant to a variety of companies would prepare him for a future job as a chief executive. Romney's legal and business education proved useful in this role, and he became a rising star while applying BCG principles such as the growth share matrix.

In 1977, he was hired away by Bain & Company, a management consulting firm in Boston that had been formed a few years earlier by Bill Bain and other former BCG employees. Bain would later say of the thirty-year-old Romney, "He had the appearance of confidence of a guy who was maybe ten years older.With Bain & Company, Romney learned the "Bain way", which consisted of immersing the firm in each client's business, and not simply to issue recommendations, but to stay with the company until they were changed for the better. With a record of helping clients such as the Monsanto Company,Outboard Marine Corporation, Burlington Industries, and Corning Incorporated, Romney became a vice president of the firm in 1978 and within a few years one of its best consultants. Romney became a believer in Bain's methods; he later said, "The idea that consultancies should not measure themselves by the thickness of their reports, or even the elegance of their writing, but rather by whether or not the report was effectively implemented was an inflection point in the history of consulting.

Romney was restless for a company of his own to run, and in 1983 Bill Bain offered him the chance to head a new venture that would buy into companies, have them benefit from Bain techniques, and then reap higher rewards than just consulting fees.Romney initially refrained from accepting the offer, and Bain re-arranged the terms in a complicated partnership structure so that there was no financial or professional risk to Romney. Thus, in 1984, Romney left Bain & Company to co-found the spin-off private equity investment firm, In the face of skepticism from potential investors, Bain and Romney spent a year raising the $37 million in funds needed to start the new operation, which had fewer than ten employees. As general partner of the new firm, Romney spent little money on costs such as office appearance, and saw weak spots in so many potential deals that by 1986, very few had been done. At first, Bain Capital focused on venture capital opportunities.Their first big success came with a 1986 investment to help start Staples Inc., after founder Thomas G. Stemberg convinced Romney of the market size for office supplies and Romney convinced others; Bain Capital eventually reaped a nearly sevenfold return on its investment, and Romney sat on the Staples board of directors for over a decade.

In 1990, Romney was asked to return to Bain & Company, which was facing financial collapse.He was announced as its new CEO in January 1991 (but drew only a symbolic salary of one dollar).Romney managed an effort to restructure the firm's employee stock-ownership plan, real-estate deals and bank loans, while rallying the firm's thousand employees, imposing a new governing structure that included Bain and the other founding partners giving up control, and increasing fiscal transparency. Within about a year, he had led Bain & Company through a turnaround and returned the firm to profitability without further layoffs or partner defections. He turned Bain & Company over to new leadership and returned to Bain Capital in December 1992

Romney was widely praised for his successful efforts with the 2002 Winter Olympics including by President and it solidified his reputation as a turnaround artist. Harvard Business School taught a course based around Romney's successful actions. Romney wrote a book about his experience titled Turnaround: Crisis, Leadership, and the Olympic Games, published in 2004. The role gave Romney experience in dealing with federal, state, and local entities, a public persona he had previously lacked, and the chance to re-launch his political aspirations.Indeed, he was mentioned as a possible candidate for statewide office in both Massachusetts and Utah, and also as possibly joining the Bush administration.

Oh, and Bill, the next time Barack Obama can put up anything close to these successes in anything he has ever done, will be the first time. He's a dishonest Charlatan that was able to Con the majority of a distraught nation into voting for him. If he had been properly vetted by the media, and the economy hadn't crashed just in time for him, he would never have been elected. We'd be talking about President Hilary Clinton.

Yep Romney, he is all of that, he also brought the homosexual pedophile movement into the Mass. Department of Education. and when the expected things started to happen and people complained he led the Mass. legislature to codify their involvement in the schools. when the bill came to his desk he vetoed it knowing that the legislature would override the veto. he had the support to make the Veto stick, but chose not to use it. (because he brought them in in the first place) This kept his skirts politically clean.

At this point there are a lot of Mass. citizens that would like to get rid of the Homosexual Pedophiles infesting the school system, but their political clout is so large that the legislature is afraid of them.

This is Romney in a nutshell. If what they are doing in the Mass. Schools were done in my state (Washington) they would be arrested on the spot for child sexual abuse. And WA is considered a very liberal state.

Hell, they are teaching "Fisting" and "S&M" to minors under the auspices of "Health" ??????

Every American citizen should make it his duty to not allow this homosexual pedophile lover to any further political office, especially a leadership position.

The Proof you ask?

Now don't forget to put the http:// in front and the .html on the end.

I know I'm coming across as ranting, but I just can't believe that we as americans we are considering this turd for the office of president.

Let me see if I have this straight. The Governor of Massachusetts has the ability to pass legislation making pedophilia and homosexuality course studies in Massachusetts public schools, and he also has the ability to overide his own veto. Wow, any chance you can clue us in on how he does that, and while your at it, let us know what you might be drinking. Some may want to try it, and some may want to stay far away from it.

I know it sounds fantastically strange, but it is true, Please, go read the website articles, it's True.....

I couldn't believe it when I first heard it, but it's all their!

They have recordings of it posted on the web....

If you have read my postings on the vine you know I'm a conservative, but then you also know I'm fairly educated and not a nut...

Please go read it....

If you love your kids or anyone's kids go read it!!!

OK, Egilman, I'm all in. I found this.

"The Governor’s Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth was created by Governor William F. Weld on February 10th, 1992, in response to an epidemic of suicide among gay and lesbian youth. On October 7th, 1998, Governor A. Paul Cellucci expanded the powers of the Commission and renewed the executive office’s commitment to combat suicide and violence affecting gay and lesbian youth.

"Many of the difficulties encountered by gay and lesbian youth are within the jurisdiction of state government and can be corrected by the dissemination of information, training, and the implementation of formal guidelines and state policy.

"The Commission works in partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Education and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to create school based and community based programs focusing on suicide prevention, violence intervention, and the promotion of zero- tolerance policies regarding harassment and discrimination against gay and lesbian youth."

Where's Romney's Role. Looks like this crap, and it is crap, I find it as disgusting as you do, was brought on by his predecessors.

Ron-374386

Take a look at this page from the site about a third of the way down the page....

The section is titled....

Homosexual activism in government

massresistance.org/docs/marriage/romney/record/

OK Egilman, I see where you are coming from and I respect your position. There is no doubt that Romney rides the fence and does his best to play both sides against the middle. I don't like it, and he's not a pillar of conservative values by any stretch of the imagination. That said, this country isn't suffering from a huge conspiracy by homosexuals and pedophiles to overthrow the nation. What we do have is an economic catastrophe and an incompetent, ill equipped, Socialist leaning academic at the helm and the ship is headed for the bottom unless we can find someone capable of getting us out of this mess.

I believe Romney has a whole lot better shot of doing that. I'm not a big fan of any politician, but he appears to be the best choice as I don't believe Obama's views toward pedophelia, homosexuality, and whether it should be taught in our public schools are any better. And I sure know the views of the liberal wing of the Democratic Part that support him aren't.

I absolutely agree that the main issue is the economy, but if we want to stop what the government is doing to the economy, don't we need to keep the liberal agenda out, kill it at the source?

Romney is the classic "Manchurian Candidate" a closet liberal, whose policies are very close to Obama's.

We should fight against it......

I would read farther down closer to the bottom of the page, it tells of what he did to the Republicans in Mass. , it's not pretty.

well,

Ron-374386

If I cannot convince you then I cannot convince anyone.....

I might as well give up....

Egilman, "I absolutely agree that the main issue is the economy, but if we want to stop what the government is doing to the economy, don't we need to keep the liberal agenda out, kill it at the source?" That would be wonderful, but it's not going to happen with one election. 40% of this country is liberal. 40% is conservative. That leaves 20% in the middle to fight over. That 20% are primarily worried about pocket book issues and could give a crap less who is sleeping with who, or whether or not someone is considering abortion. They believe those decisions are best left to family and personal belief. It will take more than one election to get them to the conservative point of view and they aren't going to be force fed on this one. Come across like a bully parent telling them what they can and cannot do even though they probably aren't considering it and you will lose them. We can't afford to do that right now.

I really don't give a damn what they do with and too themselves in or out of their bedrooms, I'm not anti-gay by any stretch, Also, I know I will not be told what to do and would not do that to anyone.

I'm a big believer in personal rights, choice and responsibility.

But this guy doesn't give one flyin crap about anyone but himself and what ever will get him what he wants., Not a good choice for president.

That's my opinion and I'm going to stick to it, no we cannot afford to alienate anyone, but we also cannot abandon our principles either.

Too many have already done that....

But he is head and shoulders better than Obama. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. Obama will say and do anything to get elected, and once he got elected, look what he has done. I'll take my chances with Romney. I know he will say and do anything, but what he does after he gets in will likely be better for the Country. Not necessarily our moral values, but economically. Moral values ought not be the Government's business. I think they will find that out when the only unit they will be able to field in the Military will be the light brigade. Most of the Marines I served with in the 60's wanted to feel like it was reasonably safe to take a shower and go to sleep in the barracks. I'm sure those issues might factor in to whether or not one wants to volunteer to join what was the greatest military in the world. As far as principles are concerned, you wouldn't be abandoning them. You just wouldn't be forcing them on anyone else.

I agree that Moral Values should not be a concern of Government, That being said, It IS the concern of the electorate. Would you elect a murderer or say a prostitute to the office of president? I wouldn't. But I would not stand in the way of their right to serve if the rest of the country did.

But definitely, they would not get my vote. Mittney is in that space with me, he will not get my vote not just because of his lack of morals, because he did everything he could as Governor to destroy the party he claims to be a loyal member of to suit his personal gain.

That is, in my opinion, NOT the type of character that makes for a good president. If he does win, I think the first thing he will do is sell the american people down the river for his own gain.

The American presidency is larger than the man, it is larger than life itself if a man does not have good solid character, then the office is diminished.... I just can't go along with that.

Well Egilman, you are likely going to be faced with a choice. Romney or Obama. Sounds like you don't plan on voting unless you are about to tell me that Obama has more character and higher standards than Romney. In that case, I believe you to be seriously misguided. Birds of a feather flock together and Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Bernadette Dorn, and others are in Obama's flock.

Well Ron, That is a choice I might have to face, I've already made my choice and have stated it on the vine.

No, if Ron Paul is not the Republican Nominee, then I and most of the people I know will stay home...

Obama's election by default.
