'So Who Needs Romney?'

Ever since Rand Paul endorsed Romney I have been really depressed.Ron Paul seems to have left his supporters hanging,refusing to stand up on their behalf against the establishment,while they are out in the trenches literally risking life and limb.I'm really disappointed in Ron Paul over this,but that's water over the dam.

One thing Romney and the establishment needs to understand,just because Rand endorsed you doesn't mean that WE -those of us who have supported Ron Paul- will follow in his foot steps.Doug Weed makes this point clear: 

Establishment Republicans and the main stream media are having a difficult time understanding why Ron Paul supporters aren’t just falling into line behind Mitt Romney.  Don’t we want the GOP to win?  And don’t we want our own candidate to win the nomination someday?  And if so, don’t we realize that we have to be loyal to the nominee this time?
Of course, these are the same establishment Republicans who are hiring off duty policemen to arrest and detain our duly elected county chairmen, or locking the registered rolls of delegates in the trunks of their cars so that the convention cannot have a roll call vote and they can claim “Ayes have it,” when the “Ayes” don’t have anything.
And this is the mainstream media that gave Ron Paul 89 seconds of an hour long televised debate.  And who in another debate, gave their anchor almost as much time as Dr. Paul, the presidential candidate.  And who ignore videotaped state conventions where delegates have their bones broken for more compelling news stories elsewhere.
We see the train headed toward a canyon and the bridge is out.  There is going to be a great crash.  And meanwhile, we are being urged to change the engineer.  “Obama is driving this train 100 mph!” we are told by hand wringing, hysterical, establishment Republicans.  “We need to get Romney in there.  He will slow it down to 95.”

One point I would like to add to this,while the establishment love to demand that we fall in line and support the nominee,this is something they rarely do.When Christine O'Donnell won the Delaware primary in 2010 the 'All-Stars' on Fox attacked her viciously.When Lisa Murkowski lost to Joe Miller in the Alaska GOP primary,she didn't accept the result,she ran as a independent in the general election.Not to mention the attacks upon Sarah Palin and others that came from the GOP.

We don't owe them anything and its going to be a pretty cold place in you know where before I vote for Romney!

'SLOWLY... SLOWLY...'

Both,Barack Obama,and Mitt Romney are cut out of the same cloth,totalitarian,tyrannical,statism,socialism.For them,government does not exist to protect liberty,but for you to obey and to serve in terror.

'The Keynesian Case For Romney'

From the Washington Post:

But Romney, though he often buys into that sort of nonsense while criticizing Obama, knows better. Time magazine asked him about cutting spending in 2013. “If you take a trillion dollars for instance, out of the first year of the federal budget, that would shrink GDP over 5 percent,” Romney said. “That is by definition throwing us into recession or depression. So I’m not going to do that, of course.” You couldn’t have gotten a clearer definition of Keynesian budgeting from Obama.
There’s a good chance that a Romney administration would extend both Bush and Obama’s tax cuts and delay the scheduled spending cuts. Congress would raise the debt ceiling after Romney promised congressional Republicans that he’d sign some variant of Paul Ryan’s budget as soon as it’s sent to him. Somewhere along the way, Romney would pass both more short-term tax cuts and a long-term transportation bill — something Republicans have been blocking under Obama — that doubles as an infrastructure package and includes, to secure Republican support, the Keystone XL oil pipeline.
Nor is it clear that this will come at the cost of harsh deficit reduction in coming years. There will almost certainly be deep spending cuts if Romney is president, but both the Romney and Ryan proposals include trillions of dollars in unpaid-for tax cuts and defense spending. If Republicans clear that hurdle by simply assuming that deep tax cuts will lead, through supply-side magic, to larger revenues, their deficit-reduction plans might well end up increasing the deficit over the next few years. “Remember,” wrote Business Insider’s Joe Weisenthal, “Republicans were pro-deficit, and pro-entitlement expansion under Bush and Reagan. Deficit cutting only became part of the party’s ideology under Obama.”
Compared to anything Obama is likely to get from a Republican House, that is, at least in the short term, a much more expansionary, Keynesian approach. But it’s also an awful precedent. In a sense, Republicans are holding a gun to the economy’s head and saying, “vote for us or the recovery gets it.”
That might well prove an effective political strategy: The more they say that they’re willing to let the debt ceiling expire and the economy run over the fiscal cliff, the more businesses will pull back and households will stop spending in order to make sure they have enough cash on hand to ride out another crisis. That will further depress the economy this year, making it more likely that Romney wins, and that Republicans embrace the smooth Keynesian glide path that they’re denying Obama.

Electing Mitt Romney in November is no different than giving Obama a 2nd term.The GOP talks spending cuts but has of yet to produce any.

2012 Election Rigged!

'Winning The Battle - Losing The War'

Every news outlet is reporting that Romney has secured the GOP nomination with his win in the Texas Primary.That's not really true though.




Ive said this before.If Romney and company expect my vote come November they have to be out of their minds,after trying to silence mine and millions of others vote in the GOP delegate process.

The Neo-Cons Are Getting Nervous

From a very popular conservative blog,Atlas Shrugs:

There is a Paulian putsch underway. I have been receiving alarming emails concerning an underhanded, anti-American Paul coup at the GOP convention.
From Virginia: "I'm running for delegate to the RNC convention in Tampa.  There is a serious Paulbot infestation in the GOP here in Virginia.  I'm spending a lot of time at GOP apparatchik meetings.  I've gotten the endorsement of the Conservative Coalition (I was the top vote-getter) and usually that is enough but not this cycle."
I recently touched upon it here: Paulbots Sabatoge Another Republican Caucus - Atlas Shrugs, but it is much bigger than that. Paul is a dangerous, self-deluded man and his followers behave like occupy fascists.
I may not have been Romney's first supporter, but I am his last supporter and fierce. I would have preferred someone more conservative, but Romney is going to be the GOP candidate, and next to Obama, Romney is the Ronald Reagan. Obama and Ron Paul would split the freak vote. Paul's putsch must be stopped. Ron Paul supports a nuclear Iran and the abandoment of Israel. What is the RNC doing?

Pamela Geller,you are a mental gymnast to draw these conclusions.A man who supports an America first foreign policy is anti-American.Someone who is operating by the rules is underhanded and is trying to stage a coup.Plus his 'followers' (supporters) who operate by the same rules also 'behave like occupy fascists.'He never attacks his opponents personally,but he is dangerous and self-deluded.Yes,Ron Paul is a menace to society and must be stopped at all hazards.Please!

For this mental somersault,Pammy,you win the gold medal though,"next to Obama,Romney is the Ronald Reagan."Next to Obama,Bill Clinton bears a striking resemblance to 'The Gipper.'But take Mitt Romney and Ron Paul,stand them up against Reagan,then tell me who is more like Reagan,it 'ain't' Romney.

Maybe,Pam,Ron Paul isn't the one who is self-delusional here?

Mitt Romney Is Trying To 'Purge' Ron Paul Delegates From The RNC

Doug Wead:

Remember my warning that there were votes in a locked box taken from the state convention in Arizona?  And that the Ron Paul victory there could be reversed if someone wanted to cheat?  Well they did, and we lost it.  I am gathering the facts and it is stunning, with 100 new ballots appearing out of the Romney ether.
Worse, there is evidence that the Ron Paul victory in Louisiana, a victory that even the media acknowledged and proclaimed to the world, may be reversed as well.  I will give you the details Monday.
Meanwhile, there is evidence of a full scale purge of any Ron Paul delegate, from any state, to the RNC.  If you are a delegate, keep your head down.  They are looking for you.  More on all of that this Monday.

You know these people have to be out of their mind if they think they are ENTITLED to my vote.

Mitt Romney Serves Up The Kool-Aid To The NRA

Mitt Romney:

Referring specifically to the right to bear arms, Romney said: "If we are going to safeguard our Second Amendment, it is time to elect a president who will defend the rights President Obama ignores or minimizes. I will."

Mittens hasn,t always supported the 2nd Amendment:

Mitt Romney is the Republican party's version Bill Clinton,with the exception of being a whore monger.Willard will say and do anything to be elected POTUS.

The Charade Of 'The Mommy Wars'

From The republican Mother:

I love it when they make the Hegelian Dialectic so clear. They're going to use the mommy war card, full of guilt and self-righteousness. Emotions triggered, brain turned off. Saying that raising five kids,  is hard work is supposed to put her in the good graces of socially conservative America. That's what they're planning up there at Elite-ville. Let's get the women vote riled up to turn out one way or another. Working on the ol' conservative base only after of making your life story both a punchline and punching bag for honesty is quite a lot of audacity.

Munching my popcorn watching the WWF spectacle that has become American politics, and wondering why more people can't see how totally phony all this is? You think I'd vote for these Romney Goldman Sachs characters because Obama is so awful. Honeychild, Awful left the train station 99 years ago, and there's nothing that any man, woman or child can really do about it individually at this point. I'll still be pulling for Paul because he's earned my respect. That, and I got to see how this delegate soap opera is going to go. Don't listen to what the MSM

This is just another shell game,designed to distract us from the real problems most conservatives and libertarians have with Mitt Romney and the direction of this country.Never mind that day by day our money is becoming more worthless.Never mind we owe more money than their is in the whole world in the national debt.Never mind that our very own freedoms are constantly under assault from both Democrats and Republicans.What we should be really worried about is whether Ann Romney as a stay at home mom had a real job.Never fail though,the sheepeople that conservatives have become are drinking it up faster than the cool-aid Jim Jones served up to his followers.

This Is What Happens When You Don't Fully Vett A Candidate

One of the common memes about this primary season is,'at least Mitt got vetted.'Wrong!We discussed Romneycare,Mitt's flip-flops,we were even discussed Mitt's wealth,but at no time did we ever discuss Mitt's Mormon faith.Since we didn't discuss it,the left will discuss it:

Unlike Da Tech Tech Guy, who saw this coming long ago, some Republicans were shocked — shocked! – by Lawrence O’Donnell’s Tuesday night anti-Mormon rant. Others were mystified as to why, in an appearance with Jay Leno, Meet the Press host David Gregory casually asserted that Mormonism ”is the core of who Mitt Romney is” and – oh, just by the way, Jay — did you know Mitt was actually an LDS bishop?
These remarks by O’Donnell and Gregory were rather unsubtle hints of what our liberal media friends are chatting about amongst themselves, and perhaps some Republicans are too stupid to imagine how this meme might make its way into Serious Journalism. But here’s the trick: Rather than raising the subject themselves, liberals will introduce the topic of Mitt’s Mormonism by referencing criticism from evangelical Christians.

Bill Clinton was asked,back in 1992,whether he wore boxers or briefs?Mitt is going to be asked whether he wears woolen undergarments or not?Also,in conjunction with same-sex marriage,Mitt will be asked whether he supports polygamy or not?How about this one,does Mitt believe Jesus and Satan were brothers?or maybe this one,will you be a god of your own planet or not when you die?All this and more is coming Mitt's way very soon.

Why Does J.E.B. Bush Matter?

To have heard the talking heads this week,you would have thought Ronald Reagan had arisen from the grave and endorsed Mitt Romney for president,but it was only J.E.B.Why is he such a big deal?Is it because he represents the Bush family seal of approval?The Bushes,George H.W. and George W.,are as much responsible for the mess this country is in as Carter,Clinton,and Obama.Why would we want anymore of them?

Why Mitt Romney Will Lose To Barack Obama Come November

From The New Republic:

Curiously overlooked, though, is just what a shift this rhetoric is from the approach that Romney took on the issue of gas prices while governor of Massachusetts. Befitting his profile as a moderate Republican who cared about the environment, Governor Romney responded to price spikes by describing them as the natural result of global market pressures and by calling for increases in fuel efficiency—the same approach that he now derides Obama for taking as president.

Obama said this referring to Obamacare,from CNN:

"We designed a program that actually previously had support of Republicans, including the person who may end up being the Republican standard bearer and is now pretending like he came up with something different," the president said.

This is Mitten's problem,alot of what Obama supports now,Mitt supported it before him.How in the world is he going to contrast himself as an alternative,when he held the very same postions a short time ago?

This says it best:

Crony Capitalist Mitt Romney

This video displays exactly what is wrong with America,crony capitalism.Welfare isn't just for the poor.Most of the major corporate players have enriched themselves at the expense of the public.For instance,Mr. Raise My Taxes,Warren Buffett got a 600 million dollar loan,with no intrest,and 34 years before he has to pay a dime back,from the Federal government.Mitt is just more of the same.

This video also shows that Mitt Romney will say and do anything to be elected POTUS.

Ron Paul And The Hobbit Conspiracy

The latest conspiracy theory that's being floated around -primarily by the Rick Santorum campaign- is that Ron Paul and Mitt Romney have a secret compact.The secret agreement would have Ron Paul attack only Santorum and Gingrich,leaving Romney untouched and handing him the GOP nomination.In return for this,Mitt Romney would name Ron Paul as his running mate.

This is not only laughable but absurd.From The republican Mother,this quote by Doug Wead,answers this absudity best:

"Ron Paul would throw the Ring of Power into Mount Doom."
"If 22 years of lobbyists, women, and ego temptations in Congress didn't corrupt Ron Paul, you actually think that Mitt Romney can corrupt him?"

Rick Santorum And The Liberal Inquisition

The Lefts attack on Santorum:

Santorum has also been attacked by Steve Kornacki at Salon for his “Catholic-infused opposition to abortion.” It may come as a shock to Kornacki that the late Christopher Hitchens was also pro-life, and that Nat Hentoff is proudly pro-life today. Their atheism hardly accounts for their understanding of Biology 101.

The blogsite Huffpost Hill says, “Santorum thinks the Catholic Church isn’t conservative enough, which is kind of like thinking Megadeth doesn’t thrash hard enough.” Guess that means Santorum is a very Catholic kind of guy (Megadeth is a heavy metal band—I had to look it up). Should Santorum therefore be disqualified? Irin Carmon at Salon no doubt thinks so: “Rick Santorum is coming for your contraception.” Probably around midnight.

Linda Hirshman, also at Salon, is having a stroke: “That an advocate of legislating strict Roman Catholic sexual doctrine came within eight votes of winning…warrants attention.” Yeah, if this Catholic makes it to the White House, he’ll seek stimulus money for mandatory chastity belts.

Let’s face it, the left want a religious test for president—they want to exclude all religious candidates. Which explains their love affair with Obama.

If its OK to question Santorum's Catholicism,can we now question Romney's Mormonism?

Disclaimer: I am neither a Romney supporter or a Santorum supporter.Nor am I,or ever will be,a Catholic or a Mormon.

This Is Why The GOP Will Lose In November

From ABC NEWS:

A prominent Republican senator just told me that if Romney can’t win in Michigan, the Republican Party needs to go back to the drawing board and convince somebody new to get into the race.
“If Romney cannot win Michigan, we need a new candidate,” said the senator, who has not endorsed anyone and requested anonymity.
The senator believes Romney will ultimately win in Michigan but says he will publicly call for the party to find a new candidate if he does not.
“We’d get killed,” the senator said if Romney manages to win the nomination after he failed to win the state in which he grew up.
“He’d be too damaged,” he said.  “If he can’t even win in Michigan, where his family is from, where he grew up.”
What about Rick Santorum?
“He’d lose 35 states,” the senator said, predicting the same fate for Newt Gingrich.
It would have to be somebody else, the senator said.  Who?
“Jeb Bush,” the former Florida governor.

If senator Anonymous wants to tell me,that if Romney can't win his home state of Michigan,the Republican party will "get killed" in November,I agree.You want to tell me that either Santorum or Gingrich would "lose 35 states" in a general election,I agree again.But if you want to suggest to me,senator Anonymous,that Jeb Bush is the answer,I would have to say,"you are out of your mind,John McCain."

This is why we need to vote for Ron Paul and help him get as many delegates as he can,to stop this kind of lunacy.

'They Counted What Thay Wanted To Count'

From The American Spectator:

The Bangor Daily News is reporting that the Maine Republican Party is facing increasing pressure to reconsider its claim that Mitt Romney won the state's caucuses until all the votes are counted. (Hat tip: Taegan Goddard.) Some caucuses were postponed due to snow and told that they won't count in the final tally; towns that had their caucuses before February 11 were also inexplicably not counted.
The Bangor paper quotes a political science professor as saying "It sure looks like they counted what they wanted to count." It is by no means clear that the missing votes would be enough to change the outcome, but even Republicans who didn't support runner-up Ron Paul are concerned about the perceptions created by the state party's handling of the caucuses.

This is outright voter fraud and everybody knows it.

The GOP Suppresses Ron Paul Vote In Maine

From The Hill: 

......in Washington County, where Paul had expected to perform well, the caucus was postponed until Feb. 18 due to an expected snowstorm. Washington County Republican Chairman Chris Gardner told the AP he had no idea when the caucuses were postponed that his county would no longer count toward the grand total.

“This is an outrage," John Tate, Paul's campaign manager, said in an email to supporters. "But our campaign is in this race to win, and will stay in it to the very end."
Paul's campaign has accused the local GOP of postponing the caucuses to prevent the results from being reported on Saturday, arguing that "just the votes of Washington County would have been enough to put us over the top."
The campaign is also dismissing the notion that weather was a reasonable excuse for the caucuses to be put off.
“This is Maine we’re talking about," Tate said. "The Girl Scouts had an event today in Washington County that wasn’t cancelled!"
Paul's aides have maintained that the Texas congressman will wind up with the most delegates from Maine, despite Romney's apparent victory Saturday night. Maine's caucuses are non-binding, and delegates are selected at a state convention in May.
"We were a little bit disappointed last night," Paul said Sunday on CBS's Face the Nation. "But we were disappointed that the one county where we have done the best in the past, and we were expected to do the best, they canceled their caucus."
Paul spokesman Jesse Benton said the campaign was confident it would control the Maine delegation at the GOP nominating covention in August in Tampa, Fla.

Something is fishy in Maine and its not the daily catch.The GOP establishment is hell-bent on having Mitt Romney as their nominee,even to the point of voter suppression.

'Trump To Endorse Gingrich? Romney?':Updated

The Donald's choice:

Major media organizations reported that Donald Trump is set to endorse Newt Gingrich's GOP presidential bid on Thursday. But wait! Others say he's endorsing Mitt Romney. The Donald is keeping 'em guessing.

This falls somewhere inbetween,I dont care,and I don't give a d@^&.

Update: The groundhog's cousin,Donald Trump,came out of his hole and endorsed Mitt Romney,predicting 4 more years of Obama.

'The Vote Pump'

After watching this how can anyone NOT vote for Ron Paul for POTUS!

Everyone,but Ron Paul,seems to think we have a revenue problem.Whether its Obama who thinks we need to generate more revenue through higher taxes on the wealthy,or whether its Romney (or pick your favorite Republican) who believes we can generate more revenue by simply growing the economy at a faster rate.

Both of these are fairytale scenarios.Their isn't enough taxable income to support our government and its almost impossible for an economy to grow at a 9% rate over an extended period of time -which is what some economist say we would have to grow to sustain our current budget.

Their is only one way to avert disaster and that is Ron Paul's way,cut the budget and balance it now.
