How will we know if Mitt Romney is running for president? According to him, “If you ever see me sign up for a gig on Fox News, it’ll be a clear indication that I’ve decided to run for president.“ He made the statement on ”The Tonight Show” Wednesday:
Mediaite points out that the statement was meant to make fun of Fox:
It was a gentle yet pointed dig at the cable news channel who includes on their roster a long list of news analysts and commentators who are considered to be GOP presidential hopefuls in 2012, including Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, John Bolton, and Rick Santorum. 2008 Presidential hopeful, and potential candidate for 2012 Mike Huckabee even hosts his own weekend program on Fox News, which has raised some questions about the symbiotic relationship between Fox News and the GOP presidential candidates.

Just to be correct, Reagan was once a democrat. I‘d call that a ’flipper’. I hope Mitt doesn’t run – I could not support him, but one evolves into conservatism. His dad, George, was not a conservative, so perhaps Mitt will evolve – however, given this latest jab – I guess not.

All other networks and most news outlets like the N.Y.Times, Washington Post, etc., etc. are similarly aligned with every FAR LEFT kook politician out there………Who complains about that or all the fawning done over them by “thrill up my leg” hosts like Chris Mathews and others?
And now, a word about Son of (George) Romney, The Mitt. He’s a handsome likable guy, that’s it. Yes, he has a competent record in business, looks Presidential, etc., but the guy is a PURE COUNTRY CLUB Republican. You know the type: McCain style moderates. These guys are ALL big on BI-PARTISANSHIP and working ACROSS the aisle. He can’t win the Presidency even if he spends millions more of his own money. In fact, he won’t even get past the primaries. Remember: Mass. Health Care!

Posted on December 2, 2010 at 11:47amMitt should be the republican nominee for President in 2012….No other republican that has already shown an interest n running can gain enough independant support to win. Sara Palin is too polarizing, Newt has a checkered past, and Huckabee could win the south but has no shot in northern states. Especially if the economy is still sluggish, Mitt has the economic background to get us back on the right track, and is independant enough to let a republican house and senate set a strong path and thus win a 2nd term.

Posted on December 2, 2010 at 12:27pmNo, but I am willing to think outside the box. Here is my thought process: Mitt runs, and wins because he can pull a ton of independants. Republicans will also have the house and senate on lock after 2012, which means to me that we can have a republican who’s really more independant in the white house with a conservative house and senate that sets the agenda and the direction for this country. This also allows us to use the “Overton Window” philosophy to take our freedoms back slowly, with independents on board (because they’ll support Romney) and gain more young conservatives who will maintain a conservative view throughout their life. According to everyone we wont be able to make wholesale changes to everything we want to change just because we win in 2012, this will be a lifetime goal, which is why we need to maintain power and think for the long term-not just for 2012. This is a “war on socailism”, and like the war on drugs, it wont be won quickly. There will always be those people who want something for nothing, so we must think long term in accordance with the steps that must be taken.

The last thing we need is another Rino. Ayn Rand was once asked if she were a conservative, her answer was, “No, there’s nothing left to conserve, I am a Radical for Capitalism.“ What we need in the White House is a ”radical for Capitalism.” not another Rino. Fortunately, we have over a year to decide on a candidate for President.
By the grace of God, our Republic has survived many crises. Perhaps, that “Greater Power” will save us again and provide a “21st Century George Washington” to save the Republic.

I don’t know what “lies and deceit” you are talking about in my religion. Nor do I think it’s pleasant you speaking in such harsh words against my faith, or anyone’s faith for that matter. You obviously haven’t read the Book of Mormon nor the Pearl of Great Price enough as I have. Cause all it teaches in those books is about Christ’s love and how faith can overcome adversity.
But alas, all you do is spew hatred and personal doctrine for one’s religion. I don’t think that is what Christ preached in his teachings as he taught to love thine neighbor as thine self, and if you read the Book of Mormon, or the Bible you might of known that.
Again though, I wish everyone who believes in God could come to love each other and understand it is we who are under attack by a great evil in the world. We should be standing together, not hating on others because of their certain religions. I love all whom say they love God and stick to Christ’s teachings. I also love those whom love God and stick to the teachings they believe in as long as it doesn’t involve being extremist.
I hope it doesn’t sound like I am preaching, and I hope that you forgive me if you have or anyone else has taken it that way. But I am just saying that all religions need to stick together in the dark times we are facing.

But as I said I am not going to get into a religious debate here. Though really if you are one to have read the Book of Mormon, then I would urge you to consider what you have found in the Book of Mormon to make you feel the way you do. What it preaches is about loving others even thine enemies and the words of Christ.

Posted on December 2, 2010 at 10:09pmI agree with you. I’ve always had great respecti for Romney but he has Mass. healthcare hanging around his neck which was the open door for Obama to make it national. I understand Mass. is has a hugh debt because of Romneycare! Don’t think a lot of people who had great respect for him before now feel the same way! Don’t think he has a prayer of being the nominee in the near future.

Posted on December 2, 2010 at 10:43pmYeah and doing things like taking command of the Salt Lake Winter Olympics that were headed for disaster and turning them around to becoming the most successful Winter Olympics in history. What about RomneyCare? RomneyCare, signed into law by Romney in 2006, is a state-based healthcare plan , unlike ObamaCare, RomneyCare did not raise taxes and the people overwhelmingly wanted it. If the Democratic run state would have left it the way Romney had it there would not be all the problems that have happened with it. But the bigger and more important difference is that RomneyCare was a state program and not a federal one. If states’ rights and federalism are truly important to you, you would readily recognize this distinction. And on top of all this, Romney has consistently voiced his support for the repeal of ObamaCare, this the same Romney that saved Mass. from demise caused by the Democrats? Not once but twice? The ones that fattened up said health care bill. Romney literally saved the 2002 Olympics from economic doom and under his tremendous leadership turned it from deep in the red into the black. Romney saved dozens of companies from closing down & thereby saving thousands of jobs? As a highly successful leader in business, he made money by turning around financially struggling companies like Monsanto, Dominos Pizza, Burlington, Corning, among many others, saving thousands of jobs.
Later he ran a venture capital firm which provided money to numerous startup companies such as Staples Office Supplies, enabling them to expand and create thousands of more jobs. During the 14 years he headed the company, Bain Capital’s average Annual rate of return on investments was 113 percent.
As Governor of MA, he worked to turn around the state’s economy from a 3 billion dollar deficit to a surplus, balancing their budget in less than 4 yrs. And never accepted a salary while in office.
When the 2002 Winter Olympics struggled under scandal and financial disaster he went to Salt Lake, took over for a one (1) dollar salary, leading it to be one of the most financially successful Olympics in US history.
What is wrong with America not wanting the best possible leader we have available? It’s the economy, stupid! Mitt Romney is one of the greatest leaders this country has, after what you have experienced with Obama you should easily recognize this.
Romney also showed great character when did not press charges and remained calm when a drugged-out rapper tried to start a fight with him on an airplane ready to take off .. the same rapper now calls him his homeboy.

Posted on December 3, 2010 at 4:19amHis record as fiscal conservative Governor is good. It is just a question of who has more experience and less unpopular policy baggage. His experience of only elected office as one term Governor is signifcantly less compared to Gov Palin who worked her way up over a decade through the ranks holding elected offices as Council Member, Mayor, President of Alaska Conference of Mayors, Governor and then having contested an election on a national ticket. She also has good record as Governor without the baggage of a policy like Government run health care. It is plain record, experience and ability to get voters enthusiastic which would decide the nomination.
