Romney Post SC Primary Speech: ‘This Election Is a Battle for the Soul of America’

Romney Post SC Primary Speech

(The Blaze/AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney told supporters Saturday he’s going to compete for every vote in every state after Newt Gingrich beat him in the South Carolina primary.

“Our campaign has fought very hard here in South Carolina and in the coming weeks and months, I’ll keep fighting for every single vote,” the former Massachusetts governor told supporters at the South Carolina State Fairgrounds, only mentioning Gingrich by name to congratulate him. “I will compete in every single state.”

Romney did criticize Gingrich without naming him, saying his opponent was joining in on a frontal assault on free enterprise when he castigated Romney’s time at a private equity firm.

“When my opponents attack success and free enterprise they are not only attacking me,” said Romney. “They are attacking every person who dreams of a better future. He’s attack you, I will support you I will help you have a better future.

“I will make sure that America is a place of opportunity for all.”

Romney also said his party couldn’t choose someone who has never run a business or has never run a state.

It was a preview of the next week as the race turns to Florida, with the stakes even higher than they were in South Carolina.

    Character and integity ceased to matter when we legalized abortion, banned the 10 Commandments from the public square, courts dictated that it was ok to divorce for “irreconilable differences” which all to often was code for adultery. This country’s slide down to the cesspool started years ago. People watch as another citizen is beat and robbed without helping. How dare a people that has sat back and allowed and participated in this decline expect they deserve better, they do not. Perry was the guy, traditional family man, conservative values, great executive experience but he was kicked to the curb. Now you want to complain about what is left. How hypocritical. Pick the best of what is left, don’t complain, you asked for it.

      In a dream world he might have won, but he floundered and flubbed himself by not preparing for the debates better. The obama camp will not be nice and the candidate had better get ready for a $billion dollar barrage of crap coming their way.

      My choice was bachman but I am not even sure she could do it.

      Romney is too soft and needs to get some tenacity to have any chance.

      Rick showed that in the last debate .

      We need a candidate that shows confidence, and can go at it with obama toe to toe.

      I have seen this guy in action when he had no money watch out

      Newt is the only one so far that has shown he can do it on a regular basis, so he deserves this win.

      ROMNEY is a PHONY. NOTE the FAUX little grin after he thinks he’s made a point. HE’S a “pleaser” who just hopes he ‘makes you like him’ instead of a man who knows and then speaks his own mind. That stupid little “see-how-humble-I-can-look” grin when he gets an applause line makes me ILL!!!
      NEWT, a real HISTORY teacher, a student of HISTORY knows that Woodrow Wilson apologized on his death bed for trying to help the middle class but did it wrong; FDR did some things right, Just because NEWT mentions a few of those Presidents does NOT make him one of them in philosophy. HE is a PATRIOT. A Constitutionalist PATRIOT. BECK is only about 5 years into this CONSTITUTION-History stuff. Newt’s been a History teacher for 30 years. GLENN needs to TALK to him and YOU People who are parroting “Progressive stuff” about NEWT need to LISTEN TO HIM> HE IS NO PROGRESSIVE. He’s just not a corporate raiding, tax-dodging “Conservative”. IS he perfect? HELL NO. CAN he Clean OBAMA’S CLOCK? HELL YES. THE MSM wants Romney. THEY are going after NEWT with every thing and the kitchen sink. 10 more months.

      Romney CAN’T Be SO OBTUSE, that he REALLY BELIEVES that it’s about “success and free enterprise.”

      Success and Wealth Are GOOD! May We ALL Be So Blessed!

      The Questions Are: WHAT Is In Romney‘s Tax Returns That He’s Afraid Will Be Found Out? What Is Romney Hiding In The Cayman Islands?

      Romney’s REFUSAL To Be ForthComing With The American People; Romney’s REFUSAL To Cooperate With Being VETTED By The American People By Releasing His Tax Returns Is What Cost Him South Carolina.

      My question is, who is the most ELECTABLE? Why does everyone in South Carolina say Newt is the most electable when the media said Romney was the most electable. That is explainable, the poll was a lie to lead the sheep. The sheep did not go, I’m hoping that people are starting to see how the media lies in order to lead people where they want them to go! If the conservative vote was not split between Newt and Santorum, it would have been a worse slaughter. Get out Romney, you can’t beat Obama anyway, you couldn’t beat McCain in 08. That should tell anyone all they need to know! Romney is just a wealthy man who has screwed people in business and made millions. Many people are for Capitalism but they are not for screwism. Romney is liken to the Bank of America CEO that decided he wanted to charge the debit card holders 5 dollars per withdrawal to up his bottom line. That’s how Romney got his wealth, now all he wants is power to go with it. I say if he had power, he’d use it in the same way that the Bank of America used his power to try and screw his own customers!

      2. He is good at the Olympics ( i suppose there would be no olympics without Romney )
      3. He is going to stand with our friends ( don’t know who they are )

      Romney has more money than any other candidate. Why does he want to be president? He doesn’t need more money, does he?….I mean what does that leave for an accomplishment? It’s all about EGO. Just like Obama wanted to be the first black president, Romney wants to be the first Mormon president.

      Romney seems like a pandering puppet. Always he’s smiling even when his getting harassed during a debate. He reminds me of a car salesman – dead inside with some phantom hand up his butt ala Jeff Dunham the ventriloquist.

      Romney is just false feeling to me. All Romney thinks he has to do is out last the other candidates’ money supply and win through attrition. Ain’t gonna happen.

    Newt the Grandiose Progressive who has Big Ideas, and a Big Ego to match has just set SC for a loss of their long record of choosing the nominee. Forget SC, overall Newt is more disliked in America then Obama. If Newt wins the nomination it will be a repeat of 2008 as inattentive voters don‘t look twice at the Republican nominee and will assume it’s the same old established here we go again candidate. A duplicate of the past election with a nominee perceived as old, short, fat white haired with life long political baggage. Newt even carries the same type of perception with a young bleached blonde wife hanging on his arm. The two couples (Gingrich-McCain) look almost identical. With the general perception on the national level we need a stark difference from the past, whereas there are far to many who vote in this country without reading anything. Newt is no more conservative then Romney is and with Santorum looking like he won’t last past Florida Mitt is the only chance we have to defeat Obama, Newt has way to much of a Washington past.

      It doesn’t matter who their “pick” is, and it doesn’t matter who the media is defending or attacking at the moment. Why don’t you try researching the candidates positions yourself, instead of eating the slop that other people feed you?

There is only one, a single difference between what the Italian Captain of the doomed cruise liner has done and what Obama has done to some 50 states we love so well. The difference is this.

      It’s true. Romney represents the average American, the average American who has a quarter of a billion bucks in an overseas bank and who says that $300,000 is speaking fees is “not much.” The average American who pays only 15% of his income in taxes because the millions of dollars he makes each year is from capital dividends. The average American who could never work again and never worry about having the money to buy that new Lear jet even if a venture capitalist like Romney swoops in, lays off half the companies’ workforce and walks home with a couple of 100 million dollars, taxed at 15% because he’s not working for a salary but instead as an investor.

      Most people can identify with Romney, because he understands the pain the average American feels when Obama wants to tax the millions of dollars we all have stocked away in a third world country tax-free banks, you know, against a rainy day.

      You say, “You should be ashamed of yourself.. You are spouting leftist propaganda, and you know you are doing it. That’s the sad part.” Yes. I wouldn’t phrase it that way, but yes. My opinions are on the left.

      As far as the video, it seems to make the point that that someone like Romney, who make most of his money from investments and pays only 15% tax on the millions he made last year, should be taxed even less. Billy, his income is already taxed at a rate way less than yours. And you think that’s fine.

      You should have seen the graph I linked to. That’s why people at your income level are making little more than they were 40 years ago on average, and why those in the upper income levels are making almost twice what they were 40 years ago. To you, that’s fair. The rich are getting ever more smart and creating all those jobs (except not during the Bush administration), and they deserve it.

      Four YEARS LATER STUPID AMERICANS support another CLOWN who SOUNDS GOOD but IS NOT QUALIFIED to be PRESIDENT.

      WHY DOES Gingrich call Himself a “CONSERVATIVE FUTURIST”?

      Why DOES Gingrich support Alvin TOFFLER’S “THIRD WAVE” and “NEW CIVILIZATION”?

      In the final chapter of “The Third Wave,“ Toffler wrote a letter to ”our founding parents” that reads:

      “For the system of government you fashioned, including the very principles on which you based it, is increasingly obsolete, and hence increasingly, if inadvertently, oppressive and dangerous to our welfare. It must be radically changed and a new system of government invented — a democracy for the twenty-first century…”

      Toffler closed his letter to our founding parents with:

      “For this wisdom, above all, I thank Mr. Jefferson, who helped create THE SYSTEM THAT SERVED US WELL FOR SO LONG, and that NOW MUST, in its turn, DIE AND BE REPLACED”

      Gingrich WROTE the FORWARD to TOFFLER‘S’ book, “CREATING a NEW CIVILIZATION.” which suggests that the NEW CIVILIZATION will REPLACE CHRISTIANITY with secular humanism:

      “I first began working with the Toffler’s in the early 1970s on a concept called anticipatory democracy.For twenty years we have worked to develop a future-conscious politics and popular understanding that would make it easier for America to make the transition from the Second Wave civilization – which is clearly dying – to the emerging, but in many ways undefined and not fully unders

When I saw Romney on the stage with McCain a couple of weeks ago, I saw two establishment republicans. Establishment republicans and democrats are the problem.

      “Romney still has not answered his views about Romneycare.”

      Just because you refuse to accept the answer doesn’t mean he has not answered it.

      I urge you to actually read about what he did in regards to Romneycare. It is not what the anti-Romney crowd have made it out to be. At the time, he actually was supported by the Heritage Foundation and other conservative groups. He vetoed 8 parts of it, all of which were put in anyway, because the legislature was 85% liberals. Give me a break.

      Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.

      America IS Wall Street. Wall Street is the heart of American capitalism. There are hundreds of companies on Wall Street. These are the places that provide JOBS. Gingrich is a career politician and if anybody participates in “crony-anything” it is a career politician. By the way, true Conservatives don’t want CHANGE, they want “RESTORATION”. Only Progressives want “change”. Gingrich is a dinosaur in Washington. Whatever happened to “throw the bums out?”

    Mit Romney is a fine man, husband and father. His MBA/Law degree from Harvard – top of class – has prepared him very well for the task of leading this nation. He has been cast as a moderate, but that just isn’t so. He is conservative and more than that – He can be trusted. Can’t say that about Newt. He’s just not of the moral code. Sure he can debate and give a good line, but he was thrown out of the congress by his own party because he was a loose cannon. He is dangerous. Mitt is the answer!!

      After Newt helped bring the republicans to a congressional majority and such things as a balanced budget and welfare reform under Clinton. The then suddenly eager to spend like a liberal “conservatives”, with the help of the Clintonian witch hunt attack mechanism, railroaded Newt with a bunch of trumped up charges, the majority of which he was later absolved. But you know how those “optics” work.

      Looking back, if Newt and his alleged immoral conduct were the benchmark, there’s a whole lot of Dems still serving in congress today that should be long gone.

      Newt always claims he “orchestrated” the Republican takeover of the house. Does that mean that John Boehner orchestrated the Republican takeover of the house in 2010? I don’t think so.

      The reality is that when Newt was speaker, he lost 5 seats in the 1998 midterms. He attacked Clinton on his alleged adultery while in the midst of a 6 year affair himself. He was charged with 84 counts of ethics violations, censured by Congress (the first Speaker in history), and fined hundreds of thousands of dollars. Soon after, he resigned in shame. Now we want him to be president?

      I agree. It is absolutely amazing that so many people can vote for Gingrich, especially considering the recent “Tea Party revolution.” He stands for everything that the Tea Party should be against.

      It is also incredibly sad that people allow themselves to be manipulated so easily by the media. Does anyone actually think the Marianne interview was meant to HURT Gingrich? Do they think ABC didn’t anticipate the reaction by Republicans?

      Why would the media want Gingrich to lose in SC? If Romney were to take it away quickly, they wouldn’t get their precious dollars from ad spending in every single state. They don’t care who wins, as long as the process goes on for the next 5 months. After that, they will start blaring the trumpets for Obama and bashing whoever the nominee is. Newt will be, by far, the easiest target. The “I find that question despicable” response won’t work against Obama, I guarantee it.

    So much for Newt not winning by negativity. You cannot tell me that Newt and Perry attacking the free market work that Romney was part of did not turn folks against him. He lost in that area, the economy where that is where he was strongest.

    Newt did his job, turned folks against the capitalist, so much for changing Washington.

    Romney, a born and bread politician from birth trying to claim Gingrich is not a capitalist. Romney, is nothing like normal people. He has no idea what it is like for normal people. He is giant corporations and banks and big government rolled all into one person. It is the way he has lived and the way he made his money. To hear him say he will stop big government is almost laughable.
