It’s called FEAR…Fear that Fred will knock their favorite candidate out of the race and win the nomination.

A&E could have a new show called “Intervention: The Fredheads” and get almost as mythical ratings as Fred’s strategy has generated.
For the non-Fredheads it would be the sleeper comedy of the season.

Just stealing from Hot Air. Bad news: Rasmussen says he now trails Huckabee nationally. Good news: He has a couple of effective ads out right now, and, as Allah notes, he continues offering up sound, mainstream-ish conservative policy proposals while…..

All of these videos you submitted clearly prove BKennedy’s point. Mitt flipped…but when did he flop?? It is clear that he became pro-life soon after being inaugurated as Governor of Massachusetts in 2003. All of these videos you submitted reference footage from 2002 and earlier….and in the debate footage he clearly describes when/why he changed his position and has been consistant ever since. I can find no evidence that Romney inconsistant with what he has been saying all along.

This poll is pretty meaningless.

You know it’s funny, we just talked about that video from 1994. Those are cuts from it.

As I said, anyone can post up anything from any time and say it happened any day except tomorrow.

As I said:

Nice try, skippy.

Are you kidding me? Are you seriously not going to do your own homework. UGH!

Everyone can keep going with this.

Good questions, why Huck and not Hunter? Because Huck policies are more in line with the media who report. Raise taxes, pro-immigration, pro-government, Huck fits their idea of a candidate. The MSM actually believes that is what middle America wants.

We could keep going but I actually have to get some things done rather then google stuff that you are probably capable of yourself.

No. I am still going to vote for him. If that Log Cabin Republican ad every gets airplay then it will be Mitt who is dead.

Bill C on November 27, 2007 at 3:06 PM

Because log cabin Republicans aren’t Republicans. Cause they’re, you know, gay.

I’ve seen the fliers, I didn’t think it was a big deal. Considering, you know, Mitt’s stance on the Federal marriage amendment and doing everything in his power to limit the expansion of gay marriage in Mass, depsite dealing with an overwhelmingly Democrat-ridden legistlature and court system.

No, you act like a liberal. You make an allegation you claim to have proof for, I call you out, and you make insinuations about me without rendering evidence.

Try again, skippy.

You sound like a liberal. I’m not your political science teacher or your personal assistant. If you can’t read or watch the news, then you’re SOL.

Less blabby more linky.

And “you sound like a liberal” is a classic around here.

I guess Bill C is nice enough to do your studying for you BKennedy. =)

If they are “countless” as you describe, perhaps you can pull ONE of them up. And please, make sure it’s dated on the clip. Anyone can take a video of any time and say it happened any day except tomorrow.

Mitt Romney has pulled a Reagan: He has most definetely flipped. He has not flopped back. He has become preogressively more conservative.

Please don’t tell me you’re now going to pull out that video from 1994 and say “look! Mitt flip flopped! He said this yesterday but he’s saying something different today and I bet he’ll say this tomorrow.

Fact is, Mitt made some promises running for Governor that conservatives didn’t like and many that liberals didn’t. He kept those promises.

“Flip-flop” requires flopping back.

BKennedy on November 27, 2007 at 2:45 PM

Professor Blather, this is an example of a Rombot. Repeating endlessly that Mitt is our guy, repeating endless slander about the other conservative who has a chance at the nomination. I am quite sure these guys are an organized group whose purpose is to support Romney in the Blogosphere. I have had some of them show up at my blog. Romney has not progressively become conservative, he has suddenly, as in when he decided to run for President, become conservative.

Truth is that Fred has not run a great campaign and missed opportunities. I don’t know that if this is because he got a late start or if he is lazy. I do know that he is conservative and has been for much longer than Rudy or Mitt. That is why I plan to vote for him and maybe enough of us conservatives who don’t like waffling will do the same and at least give Fred a voice at the convention.

To end: “Fred is dead. Get over it.”

And you don’t think the fact he has the lowest rating against Hillary of any of the conservatives is evidence of that?

How does that translate into a “majority of Americans?” They may like him less than the other candidates, but that’s not evidence of distrust.

Really? If that were the case, he would probably rate lower in the polls.

snake oil, baby.

I do not believe him and majority of Americans do not believe him.

You’re going to use only one instance of him over 13 years ago? There are countless video examples that are no older then 1 year that have him saying one thing and then doing another. You are sitting on a dead horse. Romney is not to be trusted. I do not believe him and majority of Americans do not believe him.

he keeps his promises no matter how much flak he takes for it, and he has no outstanding moral or ethical problems.

BKennedy on November 27, 2007 at 1:41 PM

He changes his positions based on what political campaign he’s in.

I can’t believe this flip-flopper even stands a chance.

Which leaves Romney as the last man standing. He knows how to run a campaign, he keeps his promises no matter how much flak he takes for it, and he has no outstanding moral or ethical problems. Therefore, Romney is who I support. If he wins the nomination he will have the passion, energy, and know how to beat Hillary, and is basically untouchable from a “politics of personal destruction” standpoint.

Romney cannot be trusted. He has flipped flopped time and time again. He is no better then a John Kerry. I would rather vote for Hillary then Mitt Romney. At least with her I know what I am getting. (And btw, I am very conservative)
