FreedomWorks President Tells Beck: Romney ‘Has the Numbers on His Side’ Against Obama

FreedomWorks president Matt Kibbe joined Glenn Beck on Wednesday evening to discuss the results from Super Tuesday and break down what Americans need to do to defeat Barack Obama in November.
Kibbe, who told Glenn he believes Mitt Romney has a honest chance at claiming victory in 2012, said the GOP contender “has the numbers on his side.”
But, Kibbe qualified that Romney’s chances would be even better if could just “be himself — the guy who ran Bain Capital, ran a business…and apply that same methodical logic to fixing our government.”
Glenn warned, however, that while all eyes are on the presidential bid, local races are just as crucial, thus “we can’t place all our eggs in one basket.”
He added that whoever takes office is going to have his work cut out for him as he’ll have no choice but to “make massive cuts” in spending across the board. “So you need people in the House and Senate who can give the president spine,” Glenn said, explaining the fortitude needed to make the difficult decisions ahead.
In talking about local communities as key components of the greater American picture, Glenn and Kibbe also discussed local races and candidates to watch in the upcoming elections.

Yes, Alinsky was all about nasty tactics but as GB has been saying (and he’s not the first one to acknowledge this), those groups that are the most organized usually end up on top. We need to get organized and move as a united voice for freedom and truth and all the ideals that founded this nation.

It was created to provide healthcare for 8% of the Massachusettes citizense unable to pay for medical care, and when needed, showed up in hospital emergency rooms receiving free medical care which cannot be refused. Romneycare can be revoked by the citizens of Massachusettes at any time! Obamacare is FEDERALLY MANDATED and will probably NEVER BE REVOKED once it is implemented, probably bankrupting the country, overhauling medical care dramatically, not to mention the probable brain-drain of medical practitioners. Massachusettes voted 72% in favor of Romney on March 6, a very good show of support for someone you think implemented such a poor program. Please take time to rethink your position.

He preferences sentences with “IF I am lucky enough to become president”….doesn’t sound too arrogant to me! Sure, there are times when he says “WHEN I am president” oft-used rhetoric by all the candidates. He has not only managed to become a self-made man (gave family inheritance away), he has also managed to keep his wife happy AND raised five, responsible, functioning boys into men, no small achievement!

Obamacare is FEDERAL and there will be no national voting to implement it, abortion and all! .
If you think Romney was “arrogant” by bypassing the last question posed by John King in the last debate, which asked what the candidates saw as their weaknesses as I recall, by refusing to play King’s game Romney showed strength and independent thinking framing the answer to his liking, not offensive in the least, the very gumption needed in a president.
Apparently you don’t like any of the choices……..go over to the MSNBC blog and join all the other Obama fans. Do you think that the only other person who can win this is Ron Paul?

Whatever the reason you cannot deny abortions. So government funded health care provides for a woman contraceptives and abortion. It is their right according to Obama, Romney and the government’s health care plan.
If the arrogant one don’t like the questions or John King or CNN then he should have not showed up at the debates.
I like Newt and Santorum and if neither one is our nominee then after 36 years in the Republican Party. I will register Independent. I will not vote for someone that is left of McCain.

Posted on March 8, 2012 at 4:20amMan – The Romneyites have taken over this board. I note how this article is somewhat positive toward Romney even though Glenn won’t come out and endorse him. He knows he can’t because too many would jump ship. I cancelled my subscription when I saw the way Glenn took Newt apart at the seams, yet stayed largely silent on Romney besides a token ‘scary’ comment. Romney is by far the most liberal, progressive candidate, yet Glenn is supporting him by his silence. Why Glenn? I DO NOT want to believe the rumors these boards often suggest. I have no problem with your complaints of Newt, but the disparity in treatment is telling.
My first vote was for Reagan in his second term. I have never voted for a Democrat or a pro-abortion candidate since. I have always been a faithful conservative, which ment voting Republican. If Romney wins this nomination, I WILL NOT vote for him. I’d support Santorum, Newt, or Mickey Mouse, before Romney.
Ask yourself why he can only win against minimally funded candidates by throwing 10′s of millions of dollars trashing his opponents…almost nothing spent on selling his vision. Ask yourself why no other party favorite or heavy hitters are running. The establishment picked Romney early. He loses every state with a clear majority voting for someone else, someone considered more conservative. This is all about reclaiming the moderate GOP from the conservative Tea Party.

Romney is soulless. While Romney may not be the radical Obama is, he is every bit as much a progressive. It’s just a question of how fast the train is moving. Romney v Obama is a Hobson’s Choice.
This has nothing to do with his religion. Read my reply to Liberty Goddess above. He survives only by carpet bombing his opponents, he has NOTHING to run on except a PROGRESSIVE Massachussetts record.
I say again, this is about nothing more than big Government Republicans reclaiming the party from the 2010 insurgency. Frankly, they could care less if they win the Presidency, they just want control of the Party. Hence, already the talk of ‘holding the house and gaining the Senate’ being their primary goal.
Look at what happend to Bush I. He lost because he was never really a Reagan conservative and the people saw through him during his first term. Romney is no different.

Many of you will not like this of Romney, but he offers the strictest opposition to illegal immigration of all the candidates… for example Newt offers a “temporary permit” and local application process to become a citizen, that is simply a delay of amnesty… while Romney opposes amnesty, period.
DETERRING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION:
–complete a high-tech fence, and provide enough border patrol, to secure southern border
–tamper-proof employment verification system like E-Verify that will enable employers to hire only those legally permitted to work and deny jobs to those here illegally
–oppose in-state tuition benefits for illegal immigrants
–oppose driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants
–fully enforce federal immigration law, including fines to businesses who hire illegals
–authorize state police to assist the federal government in immigration enforcement
–oppose Amnesty
To say that Romney “is like” Obama is crazy. He’s the most conservative of the remaining candidates when it comes to this issue. Score immigration: Romney 100%.

Posted on March 8, 2012 at 2:53amHere‘s Romney’s stand on ENERGY… this one comes, again, directly from his website. Read and learn. Of all the candidates, he has the most extensive plan for increasing America’s energy production, lowering our dependence on foreign oil and developing long term energy supplies:
http://www.mittromney.com/issues/energy
REGULATORY REFORM:
–Establish fixed timetables for all resource development approvals
–Create one-stop shop to streamline permitting process for approval of common activities
–Implement fast-track procedures for companies with established safety records to conduct pre-approved activities in pre-approved areas
–Ensure that environmental laws properly account for cost in regulatory process
–Amend Clean Air Act to exclude carbon dioxide from its purview
–Expand NRC capabilities for approval of additional nuclear reactor designs
–Streamline NRC processes to ensure that licensing decisions for reactors on or adjacent to approved sites, using approved designs, are complete within two years
INCREASE PRODUCTION:
–Conduct comprehensive survey of America’s energy reserves
–Open America’s energy reserves for development
–Expand opportunities for U.S. resource developers to forge partnerships with neighboring countries
–Support construction of pipelines to bring Canadian oil to the United States
To say Romney is “like Obama” is absurd. Obama has created $6 per gallon gasoline by crushing our domestic energy industry.

Except that it is IMPOSSIBLE to run government like a business. Government is not a market player, so it cannot make economic decisions;
As well, the economy cannot be centrally planned: voluntary trade is where real prices come from, and when the government intervenes in the economy it distorts prices and interest rates, which entrepreneurs use to determine profitability, and this is what causes such things as unemployment, moral hazard, and bubbles like the Roaring Twenties, which subsequently lead to crashes such as the crash of 1929.
Continued government intervention after a crash leads to prolonged recessions and depressions, such as the Great Depression and what we’re experiencing now.

http://www.mittromney.com/jobs
I would’ve preferred a more conservative candidate, but Romney has a cogent, rational plan for job growth, reducing taxes and government spending and lots more. He’s a polar opposite of Obama… and has vowed to repeal Obamacare.
For example, for job growth, Romney plans to do the following with tax cuts:
FOR ALL AMERICANS:
–Make permanent, across-the-board 20 percent cut in marginal rates (for all Americans)
–Maintain current tax rates on interest, dividends, and capital gains
–Eliminate taxes for taxpayers with AGI below $200,000 on interest, dividends, and capital gains
–Eliminate the Death Tax
–Repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)
FOR CORPORATIONS:
–Cut the corporate rate to 25 percent (currently the highest in the industrial world at 35%)
–Strengthen and make permanent the R&D tax credit
–Switch to a territorial tax system
–Repeal the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)
To say Romney is “like Obama” is to not know the facts; I can’t see arguing for a more conservative candidate, when you aren‘t even knowledgeable about Romney’s intentions. Have you seen Santorum’s voting record? He’s not a fiscal conservative.

Well for certain Romney and Obama differ on gun control laws right?
err….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzYTdM9b5F4 “I believe they help protect us and provide for our safety”
The list goes on. Romney has no spine, he will shape shift into whatever will get him nominated because he and a lot of Mormons believe he is the “White Horse” coming to save America. He isnt, he is just handing the election to Obama.

Posted on March 8, 2012 at 12:42amShowing up and voting for Mcain got us Obama. If you are willing to vote for a guy that is the same as Obama, you deserve four more with Obama. We voted with the party against our will for Mcain. It wont happen again.
We have one true conservative running in the race vs Obama. We have one candidate who’s budget has real cuts in spending and not cuts in future spending. We have one candidate that has said he would only go to war by using the guidelines of the Constitution. We have one candidate that would use the Constitution to protect as a tool to protect the people instead of oppress the people.
Ron Paul 2012. I will vote, but I will vote for Ron Paul even if I have to write his name in.

Posted on March 8, 2012 at 12:49amTell me what makes Santorum a conservative?
Is it his vow to never support abortion?
Report Post »Is it his fierce defense of the 2nd Amendment?
Is it his strict fiscal stance on no debt ceiling increases and strong budget plans?
Is it his idea that the government knows whats best for you and individual freedoms dont exist?

Posted on March 7, 2012 at 11:41pmWe like sheep have gone astray.
When someone tells you we “have the numbers” you wonder what we have become. I thought we ran our government according to sacred principles, not numbers. Those folks who focus on numbers are lottery players.
I would rather we be a nation of princples, with strong character, that did not do the expedient thing but that did the right thing.
Do what is right. Let the consequence follow. I don’t care how many people go and jump off a cliff, does that mean YOU have to ?
Oh, yeah, anybody but Obama, even if you put the next hapless loser in without vetting him, just so you can say you did.
This is how we got the decepticons that have ruled us since Reagan.

Posted on March 7, 2012 at 11:31pmI think that‘s the problem isn’t it, that we run American government like a “business” and everyone is minding everyone else’s.
As a constitutionalist I have to protest – we want a small government to manage our liberties, not our money.
Ron Paul is the only candidate pledging to end the fed and manage our government and let US manage our own money.
We the people did just fine for the first 100 years of managing our own money , when the Supreme Court of 1895 did the right thing and declared the federal income tax unconstitutional as indeed it was.

Posted on March 7, 2012 at 11:56pmBy chosing not to vote is in reality you are voting.
Report Post »ie., If your vote was going to be for Obama and you don’t vote then that is one less vote for Obama and vice versa; if your vote was going to be for Romney and you don’t vote… you just helped Obama.

Posted on March 8, 2012 at 1:48amThere’s plenty of reasons Rommey would be a much better president than Obama, yet all that people who oppose Romney can think about is the 1 or 2 things they dislike about him or the 1 or 2 things they think he is similar to Obama on.
Report Post »He’s not going to round up American citizens just because he supports the NDAA. And the NDAA is A LOT more than just the item of indefinitely detaining people. And that portion will almost certainly be fixed in the future as states are already filing lawsuits against it.

Posted on March 7, 2012 at 11:37pmI am with you brother, I feel completely the same. Rush needs to just drop it and let it go. I hear the Evangelicals come on Rush’s radio everyday, crying their whole “principle” thing, while we all know it has nothing to do with principles, and neither Santorum nor Newt amount to anything close to righteous. It is just bigotry, flat out. They can’t stand Mormons, so they mount a holly war with Santorum stepping up to be their preacher. If we lose this election , the blame lays flat on these folks. Hate to say it, but after this election cycle, I find it very hard for me to go back to organized religion after all this “holier than now” ranting.
