Romney on Obama: Liar, indifferent to economic suffering, divisive and hateful

Sounds about right which makes Mitt the GOP’s best nominee since Reagan and toughest on Democrats ever

This former Democrat has lived to drive a stake through the place a heart would normally be on the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness blood-sucking vampire that is my former party since my Summer of 2001 conservative epiphany. I know how rotten is the smell of the un-dead inside precinct and county party meetings after dusk. To be a Democrat is to lie in a never-ending appeal to class and race envy. Hence my aversion to the John McCain’s of the GOP who show that they love the U.S. Senate more than the U.S.A. when they refer to their Democrat colleagues as “honorable” after they launch BushLied Eras while troops are in harm’s way.

So it is with extreme tea partier/Rush is Right-dittohead ecstasy that I have witnessed Mitt Romney take the advice of El Rushbo in:

Finally, a Republican presidential nominee unafraid to call out the Democrats on moral grounds, rather than merely “disagreeing” with a so-called “honorable” opponent. It is not dirty to politics to tell the truth about one’s opponent, even if the truth is harsh, and the hard truth is that the Democrats are not an honorable party and haven’t been for decades. They are more like a mob in organized crime seeking to satisfy disparate parochial interests using taxpayer money for favors than a political party committed to principles that would promote the general welfare.

National Democrats stand for nothing save their own power. When it suited their hold on power to keep blacks in chains, they did so. When it suited their electoral prospects to favor Jim Crow, they did so. When it suited their hold on Congress to kick the black man out of the house and make Uncle Sam daddy, they did so. They favored the Viet Cong, Reds in Russia and now the Muslim Brotherhood.

They oppose affording the armed forces of the United States a few extra days to vote, but sue to allow felons the franchise. Motor Voter and amnesty for illegal yutes? What else but a scheme to sneak them into the voting booth in swing states. They oppose photo IDs for voting lest the dead miss out on casting votes for Jack Asses in Chicago and elsewhere, even if doing so requires that they slander Blacks as too stupid to accept a free such ID from the government.

Thank you Mitt Romney for calling them out. Keep up the good work.

    Not just the college kids who now vote Republican. A whole bunch of Teddy-Kennedy-supporting adults.

    many of us feel and what we’re thinking. I agree 100% that the Democrat party is only interested in the power. It’s been a long time since their first concern wasn’t, how can I get re-elected.

    The treatment our military is getting is beyond the pale – “outside the bounds of acceptable behavior” for those to young to have heard that phrase before.

    The National Party’s 40-year unspoken-but-brutally-enacted tagline to Mas’ Joe’s wish-projection non-gaffe has been: “and we’re gonna convince y’all to put yo’ chilluns in the trash can”.

    Yes, the Dems and esp Obama’s contempt for the military is palpable. Remember when he threatened to choose not to pay them in the event of a govt shutdown? And to weaken their health care coverages? I do.

    I remember back in ’08 when Glenn Beck was still on CNN-HLN. He had Romney on and was talking on his radio show about the interview he did with him on TV. Romney seemed to be mechanical, stuck to a script, and was very cautious. Then the show was over, the cameras were off, and Mitt candidly spoke to Beck with the whole staff, mostly made of liberals, there. They all thought Romney sounded incredibly passionate and Presidential when he was off script and speaking honestly – even the libs were impressed with him just on presentation. He had a very earnest concern for the country, for what was happening, and an incredible command of the facts.

    I read Hugh Hewitt’s A Mormon In The White House? back in 2007 when it came out. There were things I liked about W, but I also saw the bad when it came to the deficit, No Child Left Behind and Medicare Part D. Reading that book, Mitt Romney sounded too good to be true.

    That Romney is a passionate, intelligent man. Too often as a candidate he has been mechanical. Yet word is that once of the best speeches I have heard in recent memory, Mitt’s speech in Chillicothe, OH this week, was written by Romney himself.

    It seems to me that the Ryan pick indicated that Romney has decided to defy his handlers and be himself. I think his family has encouraged this and Ryan has helped him to be able to step up and take the risk.

    I know there will only ever be one Reagan, but I have yearned for someone who could pick up his legacy and bring it into the future. Long term, that man is Paul Ryan and Romney has put him to the forefront, but I think that Romney himself can help move Reagan’s vision forward and win hearts and minds. He just needs to be himself and speak with the passion and energy we’ve seen this past week. He’s a fighter, as is Ryan, who are willing to take it to their opponent because they know preserving America and restoring the Founding Vision is something WE MUST fight for.

    I think this could be the greatest Presidential ticket in my lifetime. One candidate is usually a snoozer or a loser, but right now it appears that both are vibrant and both are running not to fight for personal glory, but to restore America.

    Romney-Ryan To Victory! Romney-Ryan To Restoration!

    Ryan can shape a conservative GOP and American future.

    Great comment.

    He’s got to be himself. He’s got to lighten up. He’s got to go off script once in a while. In the few times he does, he sounds “real”. Just telling Harry Reid to “put up, or shut up” seemed uncharacteristically bold for him, but very much welcome.

    The misconceptions about Romney — that he’s this aloof patrician, out of touch, only concerned about the rich — are so far from the truth. He’s just got to give us more of himself to combat those perceptions.

    I’ve noticed that politicians are careful to differentiate between union members and union bosses when making statements like this. Personally, I disagree; the union rank-and-file is responsible for voting-in the bosses, and they do so because the bosses promise that there will be more pay, more bennies, and less work.

    Same goes for the membership of the Democratic party. They vote Dem because it’s the party that promises all nature of goodies paid for with other people’s money. They think that it’s “selfish” for someone to want to keep money that they’ve earned, but it’s only right to expect your neighbor to put your kids through school, pay for your medical care, cover the mortgage that you took out, and bail out the company that your union hollowed out.

    counties in America, I certainly agree with you re the massive problems with rank and file union members and Democrats generally.

    Atta boy, Mike Devine; there is iron in your words!

    My highest recommendation possible under the new format.

    “It is not dirty to politics to tell the truth about one’s opponent, even if the truth is harsh, and the hard truth is that the Democrats are not an honorable party and haven’t been for decades.”

    Send that one to Paul Ryan, too.
