WOLF: I’ll say it: President Mitt Romney
Conservatives’ growing enthusiasm is palpable and deserved
Until now, conservatives’ support for Mitt Romney was based largely on this: He’s not Barack Obama. But that was then and this is now. Conservatives are finding reasons to not just vote for Mr. Romney but to get excited about voting for him.
During the frenzied, slugfest days of the Republican primary season, even conservatives who were skeptical of Mr. Romney have found reason for optimism. As desperation set in for his opponents, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Gov. Rick Perry, their attacks on the former Bain Capital entrepreneur made them sound more like liberal class warriors than conservative Republicans.
Mr. Gingrich claimed Mr. Romney was not being “fair” and tried to “loot” his own company. In reality, of course, owners can and should be free to withdraw capital from their own investments. Mr. Perry called Mr. Romney a “vulture capitalist” who “picked the flesh off the carcass” of a dead company. Would Mr. Perry prefer to waste taxpayer money on dying companies instead? That’s called Obamanomics.

Put another way, who would you rather fight with over issues of freedom and liberty, a President Obama or a President Romney?

There’s far too much pain and suffering under the current regime for common sense not to prevail.
If common sense loses, a wise man might consider going abroad and watching from the outside.

We’ll see how Romney does when Barky flings LIBOR at him. He’d better be ready.

I feel a lot better about him since he went to Israel and Poland and extended friendship and hope to our REAL allies.

Most important, we need conservative (hopefully Tea Party) control over the House and Senate.

Romney wasn’t my first choice. He wasn’t my second choice. He wasn’t even my third choice.
But, with his successful business background, he may be exactly what this country needs right now.
The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Anything but Obama…
I’m not betting on Obama losing however…
The MSM sponsor the Regime.
Bread-and-TV folks don’t have no clue that the country is being raped and the Treasury loothed and the USD debased…
Cronies of the system have interest in seeing Obama reelected…

I will admit, at the onset of Mitt running I was not a fan. After a few business experiences with Bain capital, I thought they were pirates.
In retrospect, it is mist Darwinism, plain and simple. Survival of the fittest. The companies they purchased and either liquidated or turned around were destine for the trash heap. Bain merely salvaged what was left, disposed of or saved. It is business 101.
Based on what I am seeing, I think he is right for our country at the time we are in. He has to salvage what is still worth salvaging, and write off that which is dead weight.
I am now a fan.

Katechon,
MSM is not sponsoring the regime, they are an extension of the White House. (Which reminds me of something really funny and if I can find it, I’ll link it directly below). Where was I, oh yea,on Morning Dickwad, Mikas Blackberry goes off constantly. It’s the White House. In the early morning I occasionally stroll over there, it infuriating. Currently all they are talking about is what a bum rap Barry’s getting because of the obstructionist congress. They fail to mention for two years he owned the entire federal gov. What did he get accomplished. Obamacare, and that’s it. They live in a parallel universe. By the way, their viewer ship is down to about 12 I think.

I started with an “anyone but Obama” attitude, but I must confess I’m becoming rather enamored of Mittens.

The AoS story (months ago before this current tit-a-tat) of Romney taking the initiative of finding a missing person struck a positive chord with me. It showed he was a person with moral conviction and fortitude. He’s certainly not Obama. And he gets results.

I hope Romney follows Gingrich’s overarching plan which was to recognize that the country’s roots are right of center and, when push has come to shove, will vote conservative over obama. And because of that, Gingrich threw diplomacy and caution to the wind and his aim was to do the job out in the open — the one obama pretends to not be doing — to polarize the electorate, distill things down to their simplist terms and make people take a stand one way or the other. He knew conservatives would prevail. If Romney starts tacking to the center or starts making appeasement noises, it will be much more than disappointing.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say I’m excited, but based on recent events, I will gag a lot less when I mark my ballot for Mitt.

Americans are sick and tired. Going on four years now and we still have no president. We’ll take whatever we can get.

Anne Coulter was right… Romney can appeal to those unsure about Repubs since he can put a sentence together and he is “clean and articulate” and will be our first Mormon prez. Really, at this point Bugs Bunny *should* be able to beat Obummer, but alas, there are way too many racist libtards that are all hung up about skin color and other traits long forgotten by tea patriots.

Being able to express some basic thoughts, while facing a full tard onslaught, helps.
Culture does matter.

I’m waiting for the Obama campaign to attack Mormonism. (Will that be their “October surprise”?)
