Freep Veep Anxiety: "Romney couldn’t even win the nomination despote outspending everybody"

Cherry-picked gems from their "Obama picks Biden" thread (867 responses)...

Romney couldn’t even win the nomination despote outspending everybody and had higher negatives polling than any Dem or Rep candidate. Plus you’d have two old rich white guys on the ticket. Romney shoulsn’t even be an option. McCain should pick Cantor or Chris Cox.

It doens’t matter as much to me that Romney has changed positions.

may not to you but the democrats are just salivating for ads contrasting romney as VP and romney during the primary and romney as governor and romney running for Senate.

Could be....or RG...we haven't fielded a winning 100% since RR, our recent track record is not good.
A nice change would be to choose someone who is accomplished, ruthless, has made hard choices governing, with concrete produced results.

How could it hurt to try at this point?

“I so wish McCain would pick someone WITH SOME ACTUAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS!Is it too much to ask for a man WHO HAS ACTUALLY PRODUCED?”

The obvious pick is Romney. A real maverick, a real bipartisan reformer with a real executive and a real never-in-DC outsider who’s actually done some amazing things in the private sector (Venture Capital and Olympics). Comparing Obama running a few ACORN senators and Romney turning about the Olympics shows how big the stature gap is.

2. "WSOG" the freeper sounds like a real piece of work...

4. The sad thing here is circa 2002, Romney was actually a good Republican.

Someone well respected and he even hinted about the possibility of running for governor here in Utah in 2004 as a Democrat, because he was "liberal" by Utah standards. The Romney clan has a history of progressive Republicanism and when he ran against Kennedy for senate, he actually ran left of Ted on a few issues. Also remember, he endorses and accepted the endorsement of liberal Salt Lake mayor Rocky Anderson.

But he sold his soul to win the Republican nomination, knowing they would never embrace a social liberal.

THAT speaks more volumes than anything Romney has ever said or did.

5. Sorry, I'm coming to believe that there is no such thing anymore as a good Republican.

At least not the professional ones.

6. Obviously not.

As Romney stood for nothing and "good" in the sense he seemed to at least embrace the Rockefeller aspect of the Republican Party.

But it was either all for show or he stands for nothing...maybe both. Which means he never was good, just a good showman.

He duped a lot of people, though, especially those men and women who voted for him. No way would 2007 Romney win the governorship of Massachusetts.

11. Mass Hacks and their friends and families

with so much entrenched corruption on Beacon Hill that goes back for years it is no wonder Mitt could not get anything done -

[bicentennial_baby]

7. And he was a horrific MA governor

Nice of him to leave us with his crap mandatory healthcare legislation that the state can't begin to pay for. Fuck Mittens.

[Drunken Irishman]

9. He's a fake.

And generally fake politicians fail as leaders because, well, they don't know how to lead. Look at Bush, he ran as a moderate and it was all a fucking lie, a phony image set to gobble up the center and he failed as a leader. If you're a phony, you stand for nothing and if you don't stand for anything, how the hell can people expect you to lead?

[heaven or hell]

10. the South does not like him - did not vote for him in the primary

and might not go for him again



Condi Rice might have a better chance at wining those southern votes - for real
