Romney: ready or not, here he comes!

And so it starts and/or and so it continues… the nauseating attempt to push Willard Mittens Romney on American voters. Romney was rejected in the primaries. His money could not buy him the nomination, yet his name is coming out in force even before the 2008 election is decided.

One of the most laughable comments about Romney as written below: “his social values are equally anchored in conservatism…”.

Iowans, hold on to your conservative, family values with all you might! We are beginning to see that the Romney pushers are alive and well. Read the comments if you have a strong stomach. Having some anti-acids on hand will come in handy, as well!

Steven Edwards: McCain’s Palin problems make Romney look better all the time

Posted: October 27, 2008, 1:22 PM by Kelly McParland

As for this election, McCain’s folly at not having picked Mitt Romney as his running mate is now all too apparent as the economy dives. The Republican presidential candidate’s turn southward in the polls mirrored the mid-September shock to the world financial markets, which propelled the economy and its future to the number one concern of U.S. voters.

McCain’s campaign could have used the benefit of Romney’s business experience and acumen to reassure a public daily bombarded with predictions the sky is falling. Indeed, but for America’s insistence on mixing church and politics, the successful investment banker and consultant  — who also saved the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City from financial ruin and ran Massachusetts as governor — might even have been in McCain’s place as the party nominee.

Though there are no statistics to prove Romney didn’t win because, as a Mormon, he is a member of a controversial church, the fact he had to address the issue during his campaign underlines the level of concern it raised. How ironic that the U.S. Constitution bans mixing church and state, but religious matters thread through American politics more than they do through the politics of just about any other Western country.

The need for an economic wizard on the current ticket didn’t seem pressing when McCain was casting about for a running mate just before the financial crisis burst into the open. It appeared Palin would address other shortcomings within McCain’s campaign, like the career-long centrism that has long infuriated the party’s conservative wing, allowing him to focus on his specialty: security.

While Palin is a social conservative, Romney could have filled that void. His social values are equally anchored in conservatism, and the fact he masked them to win election in the liberal bastion of Massachusetts only attests to his astuteness in knowing how to play to all constituencies.
