Am I the only one breathing a sigh of relief that the front-runner coming out of Michigan isn’t McCain or Huckabee?

No, you aren’t the only one…

Ron Fournier points out that Mitt buys votes with hollow promises and propaganda that would require further socialism to fulfill.

Amen to that. In Michigan he was promising that as president he would bring the U.S. auto industry back to its former glory. But how? He said that the auto industry is going down the toilet because of CAFE & government regulation, not because of corrupt, greedy unions and the inability of U.S. auto makers to figure out what consumers want and give it to them.

Either he was lying to voters (gasp!), or he’s planning massive government intervention. And what about the lumber industry in the Northwest, or the steel industry in Pennsylvania? More government intervention to save failed businesses?

McCain was talking sense in Michigan, telling people that they were going to have to face reality and re-train and come up with new business ideas, but Romney was making such pie-in-the-sky promises of getting everyone’s jobs back that McCain had to shut up.

How is this conservative? How is it honest or honorable? The U.S. auto makers and their unions have screwed themselves out of their jobs and Romney promises government solutions.

I still like Romney best. After closely analyzing all the GOP candidates, he’s the only one I can honestly see running the country.

I could be wrong.

Welcome… to your new Overlords… the Mittheads.

Tax cuts are a fiscal stimulus, as is cutting back on burdensome regulations, investing in R&D to compete with China/India/Japan and so forth.

It’s one thing to say, as the Dems are, that they want to hand out checks to people, but it’s quite another to cut taxes which hamper our ability to compete, or which penalize savings and investment.

Michelle Malkin 1/16 “Wanted: A ‘Suck It Up’ Candidate” @NationalReviewOnline, http://article.nationalreview.com/
“Fred Thompson, supposedly the conservative’s conservative, asserted the need for a fiscal stimulus: ‘I think that has to be considered somewhere along the line if the economy calls for it.’”

Malkin’s bias against Thompson is seen by writing that Thompson “asserted the need for a fiscal stimulus” that is flatly untrue. To the contrary, Thompson repeatedly emphasizes, “But conditions as yet are not determined.” Thompson states that any stimulous package TAX CUT to POSSIBLY be considered under the most dire circumstances must be tailored to get into the consumers’ pocket, and to specifically prevent and never encourage the bad behavior of speculators. Thompson reiterates that the economic conditions as yet are not determined.

The HotAir Headline:

“AP writer might be slightly biased against Mitt”

might reflect HotAir’s slight bias for Mitt.

HotAir bias facilitates Mitt’s propaganda. Mitt promises everyone can have their cake and eat it too.

ON DEADLINE: Mitt Won, Authenticity Lost, By Ron Fournier, AP, 1/15 10:38 p.m., http://news.yahoo.com/
In fact, all leaders pander, but Romney is taking the tactic to new heights. But to go all the way, Romney must overcome the original sin of his campaign — his choice to do whatever it takes to be president. The smart money says he can’t.

Ron Fournier points out that Mitt buys votes with hollow promises and propaganda that would require further socialism to fulfill.

To invest in Mitt, one divorces the heart and soul of conservatism that would project America’s strength forward on the firm ground of smaller government and lower taxes.

This is primary season when the effect of the conservative vote matters most significantly throughout the 50 states. Conservative turn out is imperative to perpetuate the ideal government ideology that eschews deceit and sloth. The coming conservative primary voters will yet voice determination for our GOP POTUS candidate. If conservative Republicans provide the nation with a conservative leader to elect in the general, then out nation’s direction has the greatest hope. When conservative media support the conservative platform, they provide conservatism strength towards victory.

Record and Platform Unify.

Romney the current front-runner until the next primary and then it will switch AGAIN.

Break out the margarita machine, baby. I think we’ve earned this one!

The idea of Romney/Thompson is slowly growing on me — maybe their weaknesses would cancel each other out. I like the flavor of economic experience meets fearless national security with a hint of north/south. On Tsunami Tuesday could I vote for the ticket instead just one??

Slightly OT, but it really tickled me earlier tonight when Brit Hume said that it was too close to call between Hillary and “Uncommitted”!

I suppose the message we should take from this is that Hillary should be committed.

Hell no. Go Mitt!

Say hello to another assault weapons ban. Better buy all your AKs now boys and girls!

Bill C

Rudy isn’t as liberal as he is being portrayed by his opponents and his opponents supporters right now in this race.

All of these so called liberal positions can be explained, but nobody wants reason and logic they want good pander and red meat.

Fred says he’s a federalist and that he’s for states rights, then he.. well nevermind.. people here do not want to seriously debate..
