Romney: Working with Democrats is Bad... Unless I'm Doing It

Go Mitt...the military is behind you...we need someone smart in the White House that can communicate and a strategic thinker for once. We need to start focusing on competitiveness in the world.

I remember campaigning for Reagan in Calif in the early 70's. The media and liberals all said he was unelectable...the Democrats feared him the most. Sound familiar...Go Mitt! I truely believe he's the only one that can beat Hillary....and folks will see him new and will grasp his message.

Scotts got a valid point, I personally dont like Mccain, but his moderate stance appeals to many that will be considered the "swing" vote. But if people really take the time to look at our economy and fear that a recession is going to hurt them personally then maybe they will give Romney a 2nd look. Toe to Toe Mitt will tear the democrats apart.

I think America is tired of the Professional Politicans who know how to Spin things in DC but couldn't lead or run a business in the real world where you have to "Earn" your keep. When Mitt Talks about the Economy people listen, In Mccains own words he does not understand economic's.......... and being a good leader does not mean that your team of so called "experts" will give you advice that will work for the country.........

Whereas Romney will work with those who know how to make things work and he will not just be sitting there takig their advice but rather helping to formulate the right approach to make America Strong again both economically and morally.

When its all said and done, its the pocket book that makes you feel all warm and cozy ........that's why the country could get rid of Bill Clinton the economy was good so nobody cared who he was doing in the white house........now if the economy had been bad, Bill would have been run out of town on a rail.

I keep wondering what makes McCain a Republican. He is for Amnesty. He is against lowering taxes. He doesn't support social conservatives.
Besides the democrat views, he also threatened to stay in Iraq for another 100 years, which translates to the entire time he is in office. Well the Democrats will remind the voters of that and there is NO WAY that McCain will win the presidency. They are just waiting to use that trump card.
No McCain. No Democrats. Mitt Romney is the most formidable opponent.

While Romney has supported candidates from across the isle, what bothers many republicans about McCain is that he touts that. He is the republican superstar of the liberal media, no question. That is what really irritates me.

Romney has his minions out posting comments like crazy.
However this strategy will not work.

The Republican so called base, which is imaginary, has weak arguments against the Senator and weaker ones for the suave gov.(even from your own Anne Coulter).

Real people see right through you!

Stop being spoon fed.

Go, John, on to victory we will never desert you.

Duh. Romney will WORK with Democrats. Its that McCain IS a Democrat. Or a RINO: Republican In Name Only.

McCain wants tax hikes. McCain wants to restrict free speech. McCain wants illegal crimin-aliens from Mexico automatically becoming US citizens. Sounds like a page out of Hillary Clinton's play book.

I'm voting for Romney. In fact I just paid $100 to Romney's campaign. He's a SOLID conservative who will get it done in Washington.

I'm glad Mitt has a mind of his own and does what he thinks is right - even voting for a democrat if necessary. Mitt is SO much smarter and wiser than McCain and our new voice in Washington. Go Mitt!

You are all overlooking one very important point. The problem is that Romney will never win the general election and I'll tell you exactly why. It's a truth the hard core members of each party hate to admit but history has shown to be the case time and time again. That is that it's not the party base that really matters and frankly any campaign manager will tell you that. The reason why is because when push comes to shove they will vote for their party candidate whether they like him or not simply because allowing the other party to take power is abhorrent to them. The block of voters that ultimately swing the election are the Independents and moderates who are willing to vote "across the aisle" so to speak.

That voting block is fed up with an ultra-conservative point of view because they associate it with Bush and if you doubt it take note of who controls Congress right now and why. Also note that in the results so far that voting block is supporting McCain first and Obama a distant second. This is critical because even though Obama is just as much of an extreme liberal as Hillary is the perception by some independents is that he is more moderate...and frankly in politics perception is far more important than reality. Who that block is NOT supporting are the Romneys and other ultra-conservatives nor will they. Now don’t misunderstand. They don’t like ultra-liberals either but the current feeling is that after eight years of Bush, if they are forced into a choice of extremes between liberal and conservative, they have been and will continue to vote liberal before conservative.

The point is that while the republican base is screaming for ultra-conservative Romney they do so at their peril because the voting block that ultimately will decide the election won’t support him and as such McCain is very likely the only Republican that can win in November.

Now of course everyone will scream about this but look at what has happened so far. The Independents and moderates are avoiding Romney like the plague. There's a reason why McCain leads national polls head to head against Clinton and Obama while every other GOP trails....the critical voting block will vote for McCain but not for any other hard core republican (which the rest are PERCEIVED to be). If the Republicans are smart they will quickly conclude that their interests are best served with a moderate President McCain rather than an ultra-liberal President Hillary.

Hey John, go back to to hide with your filthy liberal losers, Bill and Hillary. Let the smart people run the country.

Go Mitt!

John you've written an article with a lot of power to persuade people. Even if they read nothing else the title is sufficient. The message is "Don't vote for Mitt Romney." Good job. You'll influence many people. And perhaps they will believe you.

As for myself, I'm still voting for him.

Mitt Romney is my choice for president!! Sow hat if he runs internet ads! Go for it.
MITT ROMNEY 08!!!

blah blah blah... web only ads. big deal. mccain is weak and so are his positions
