Yeah, Romeny is sure the future of the GOP.
A flip-flopping nothing sent down from central casting…..
2. neocon | January 15th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Yea, Romney has less experience than Obama.
??????????????????????????
Talk about central casting.
I hope Romney can hold onto the lead. I would love to see him debate Obama and run intellectual circles around him when it comes to economic policies. And I would also like to see Obama pitch his “plan” for healthcare and then let Romney discuss his “plan” and how he has already implemented it.
Would be interesting. I think we would all then understand why he is called the “junior” senator from Illinois.

I hope those numbers hold. I’ve been warming up to McCain lately, but I don’t want to see him (or anyone else) run away with the nomination. The longer all 5 contenders can hang in there, the more we’re going to find out about what direction they’d take the country.

Me too, I so want the war monger to be the Republican choice. But he is against tax cuts for the upper 1%. What to do? What to do? Romney is a flip flopper you can’t trust and Huckabee wants a Taliban state. I will have to go with war and destruction candidate on this one.
5. Rich | January 15th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
Well Plainjane is as unhinged and insulting as ever. McCain’s a war monger and Huckabee wants a Taliban state? Its sad when we have f$%king morons on here that don’t know the difference between a war hero and a war monger. Please cite one instance of Huckabee calling for anything resembling Taliban rule and I’ll give you a cookie. I’m talking stoning women and not letting girls go school type of stuff. I will agree on Mitt flip flopping on issues but somehow i kinda doubt that bothered you during the 2004 election. Speaking of who to vote for PlainJane, who are you backing this year? Race- baiting Hillary, race-card Obama or the incredible shrinking Edwards?

Congrats, Michigan, you just handed a victory to the Democrats by voting for Romney.
McCain was the only candidate willing to the tell the truth; those lost jobs cannot and will not come back. Michigan needs to either develop new industry or change its auto industry to lead in new technolgies.
Romney promised you a bunch of empty lies. He told you that he’ll magically bring back those lost jobs, all the while fully aware that he has no ability to do that - and you allowed yourselves to be suckered in by it.
Once again, Michigan, congrats. The national party should’ve stripped you of all of your delegates.
7. David Aulds | January 15th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
I have always said I’d rather have either Thompson or Romney win the GOP nomination so this victory is a breath of fresh air for me. As long as neither Huckabee or Mccain don’t win this nomination I’m cool with it.
8. David Aulds | January 15th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Brian…Michigan did the smartest thing of all the states so far…they voted against both Huckabee and Mccain two Liberals prancing around as conservatives.
9. Uncommon | January 15th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Retired Spook said -
So, by all 5 contenders you must mean Paul as well right, seeing as he has be fourth and fifth in the three major primaries we have had thus far?
10. neocon | January 15th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
Brian,
Michigan is in a mess primarily because of the states Democratic leadership, look into it. As far as the auto industry, are you saying America can’t compete globally in that industry? Other automakers are doing fine, America just needs to innovate and Romney is foremost an entrepreneur, which is exactly what is needed. American ingenuity has always prevailed and will do so again.
11. Retired Spook | January 15th, 2008 at 10:24 pm
Uncommon, here’s what I said a couple threads back:
12. Retired Spook | January 15th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
BTW, Uncommon, you do know that Ron Paul has ZERO chance of being the GOP nominee, don’t you?
13. Nate | January 15th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
romney’s a laugh. he ran on the platform the united state(s) of michigan. i kinda thought the election is about the president of the USA — not just michigan. it’s not up to the pres to fix michigan but that was romney’s platform. what were the voters thinking? probably a bunch of libs trying to derail mccain since he’s supposed to be the biggest threat to hillary.
14. Brian | January 15th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
neocon,
I do believe America can compete globally in this industry, but Romney has the wrong answer. In fact, how can any conservative support his proposal for fixing the auto industry, knowing that it involves heavy government interference in the private sector?
I’m sure every conservative would agree that it is not the government’s business to bail out struggling companies. The American auto companies have - quality wise - made great strides in the last couple of years. I believe government bail outs will cause these companies to slip back into complacency.
Simply put, Romney told the Michigan voters what they wanted to hear: “Hey, don’t worry about getting educated and bettering yourself - the government will take care of you.”
Sounds very much like a liberal message to me.

No Neocon, Michigan is a mess because for too long they made crappy cars. After buying the engine blowing Windstar in 1995 and a rolling over Explorer in 2000, I went to Honda for quality and gas mileage. My next car will come from GM and may well be the Volt it it looks as promising in 2010. That is my investment in Michigan.
The exportation of our manufacturing base through “free” trade is one of the issues I intend to track with all of these candidates. It is fine to say that our workforce needs to lead the world in quality, but that is an empty goal when your schools suck.

Guess Michigan doesn’t have as many of the right wing Christian bigots has Iowa.
17. Uncommon | January 16th, 2008 at 3:11 am
Spook,
I do realize that even if he won more primaries he would still be voted out at convention but depending on February 5th you may want to start worrying about an Independent Ron Paul running for President. My point was that both Thompson and Gulliani have lost 2 out 3 to Ron Paul thus far so I hope that you don’t consider them viable candidates either. Good night.
18. Kurt Diekelman | January 16th, 2008 at 3:25 am
Mitt has what it takes…I can’t waqit to see him school Hillary or Obama in a debate!!!!! Mitt is the real deal.
19. Marty13 | January 16th, 2008 at 4:32 am
I pity those of you who think Mitt has any intellectual heft. He won the MA gov. race by bold face lying ( see: abortion, gun control, immigration) and then stabbing the incumbent female REPUBLICAN gov. in the back. This guy will say anything to any given audience. Make mannequin Mitt the GOP drum major and he’ll march the party right off a cliff.
20. keefer | January 16th, 2008 at 4:33 am
Would be interesting. I think we would all then understand why he is called the “junior” senator from Illinois.
And, neocon, he’s junior to Little Dick Turbin–a certified idiot. That doesn’t say much for Obama, who smoked dope and snorted coke for recreation…

Rich, plaincowjane would prefer some feed–she’s a Guernsey…
22. keefer | January 16th, 2008 at 4:41 am
Well done, Mitt; on to SC.
Matt, I’m beginning to wonder if the GOP leadership is just going through the motions, as they did in ‘96 with Bob Dole. I mean, the odds are historically against the GOP winning the WH, after a two-term incumbent, and my favourites for this race can’t even poll better than RuPaul…I mean, Ron Paul.
I can’t get to England fast enough…
23. keefer | January 16th, 2008 at 4:42 am
Spook, I’m cruisin’ again in March–gonna hit the Bahamas and Key West.
Hey, libretardTHC, anyone in Key West you want to give a shout-out to?
24. navydad | January 16th, 2008 at 9:46 am
Keefer,
We just returned from a needed seven-day cruise to the Mexican Riviera….man I needed that.
I must say, leaving politics and reality behind was a tasty segue into an eatathon that hit the reality scales when we returned…LOL!
Oh well, back to playing catch up!
25. keefer | January 16th, 2008 at 4:34 pm

I hear ya, navydad–I gained about seven pounds on a five-day cruise. My next one is only four days, but I’ll probably be breakin’ out the 36″ jeans when I get back.
Funny how all the trolls call our guys phonies, when their two “serious” candidates offer nothing but platitudes…and socialism.
26. Brian | January 16th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
The whole “Democrats for Romney” campaign should be a giant, red flag for Republicans. Of course, if Democrats are rooting for Romney that means they think he is the weakest candidate (along with Huckabee).
Stop the madness. Stop voting for Romney.
