If he wins it will be in spite of them. All the RINO’s would feel vindicated.

Here’s what conservatives need to ask themselves. If Romney were president and Mitch McConnell tried to undercut John Boehner on some bill (hypothetically of course) who’s side do you think Romney would come down on?

If Romney had to meet one on one with Dem leaders, like Obama did with Boehner last year, what do you think would happen?

If nothing else, conservatives & tea partyers learnt something for this point forward – who all can be bought or closet RINOs! Next election cycle, we will know who NOT to listen to!

Thank you for exposing this fraud! The list keeps growing!

Also, it is hilarious to listent o Rush take credit for Santorum indirectly – media is saying Rush supported Santorum last week? – Rush Not taking a stand against MA liberal is as bad as Coulter, Goldberg, Krauthammer support for Romney!

I also agree with what you wrote 100%. Thanks for writing the rebuttal from the average man to Lord Willard.

I’m starting to think that having a politician that “understands you” is overrated. Those politicians that understand me the best are also the ones that screw me over the most. That understanding just gets used as a weapon against me.

I’d rather have the one that understands the problem and solution. Despite Romney’s weakness, the other candidates have had trouble knocking him off. In order to do so they have to show that they are better equipped to tackle the issues. It is questions about ability that holds candidates like Santorum down.

1. Romney, if he’s elected, isn’t going to owe conservatives squat because he’ll claim he was elected despite us. And he may very well be right.

2. I think that even if we’d supported him, Romney would immediately jettison conservatives because he isn’t one of us and he’d feel more at home governing using a Gang of 14 style coalition in the Senate.

What is stunning is the degree to which NRO has utterly abandoned any pretense at integrity to get this guy elected and have done so in two different elections.

Romney has given the perception he’s “out of touch” with the American people and seemingly not able to connect with on a personal level. Especially concerning the very poor which he really isn’t concerned about at all apparently.

Mitt Romney hasn’t been able to give the American people the reassurance they need that he would keep the promises he’s now making on the campaign trail, especially when you consider he’s been a veritable “flip-flopper” on practically every major issue that is important to conservatives and most Republicans. Just a few short years ago (before he decided to run for president) Mitt Romney could well be considered a liberal Republican more in tune with Democrats than his own Party’s stances on the issues. He had the same problem in his 2008 election campaign where he tried to convince people he was a conservative but the American people knew better and most didn’t believe him. Many conservatives today still see him as an “opportunist” who only changed positions on issues because he wanted to run for the presidency, not that he really had a change of heart per se.

I honestly think Romney’s decision to run for the presidency both in 2008 and 2012, are in part, simply a desire of his to accomplish what his dad George was unable to accomplish i.e. become President of the United States. Mitt Romney winning the presidency would vindicate his dad’s previous failure to do so and thus restore a sense of respectability to the Romney family that was lost from that previous defeat. As we know, the only way a Republican can garner the nomination is if he or she can convince other Republicans that they’re bona fide conservatives who are trustworthy and can appeal to the conservative base in order to obtain the golden prize of being the Republican nominee which would be unthinkable if the candidate was perceived as a Massachusetts moderate?? or liberal Republican more in line with Democratic Party ideals like Mitt Romney was just a few short years ago… before he decided to run for president.

I have to admit that I kind of like Mitt Romney. He’s a likable guy, presidential looking, talks a good conservative talk, but there’s something radically missing from the equation in my opinion. I think the missing elements are a lack of “trustworthiness” and an extreme inability to “connect” with the American people, and more importantly, Republicans. He speaks but he doesn’t speak with conviction in my opinion. He promises many things but many people aren’t convinced he really means them.

SNL did a skit that portrayed Romney as ‘robotic’ who had five “human” sons. His perception as a Teflon candidate might be an understatement. More like an android from the planet Zartel who just so happens to be a Republican running for the presidency. hahahaha

In other words, it’s as if he’s a million light years away, living in a different dimension, and consequently, he’s immensely disconnected from the electorate he needs to garner the nomination, let alone, get elected. Rick Santorum’s three state sweep last night gives credence to that notion too. Mitt Romney needs to become “human” and start “connecting” with the American people if he wants to serve as their president.

Plus the fact that Romney was born with a ‘silver spoon’ in his mouth. Which presents him as perhaps out of touch with ordinary Americans. He has a tendency to put his silver foot in his mouth on numerous occasions also. You have to care about ALL Americans, not just the middle class and wealthy. You may like to “fire people” but you needn’t say it to the world, especially during an economic recession! Automatic increases for the “minimum wage” is a disastrous idea and anathema to most Republicans. More importantly, it would discombobulate an already reeling economy if it was implemented. Mitt Romney should know better too. Having been a business owner and having worked many years in the private sector, it strikes me as very naive. Which also makes you wonder if Mitt Romney’s business savvy is really up to snuff, and if he became president, would he really know how to get the economy revving again and Americans back to work. Especially since he likes firing people so much. Hey, maybe that’s the real reason Donald Trump likes him so much?? Just sayin…

In fact, if truth be told we should blame all organizations, clubs, groups and what-nots that wear the “Conservative” banner who have allowed themselves to be associated with him.

Their conservative cred gave him some kind of belief that he had conservative cred. The man has NO CONSERVATIVE CRED! IF he wants to speak at the NRC fine. But there’s a difference between a republican event and a Conservative event.

When these various organizations (et al) embrace him and welcome him into the fold to speak or whatever it somehow legitimizes his claim of being a conservative. “Well, I uh, I did speak at CPAC last year you know so ergo I must be a conservative.”

A little background check, that’s all I’m asking for.
