Mitt Romney Critics Hammer Campaign For Failure To Fight

[powergirl]

WASHINGTON -- "Mitt Romney and his team will be hit with a merciless barrage of friendly fire in the days after the November election if the presidential race continues its current trajectory and the carping from GOP analysts and strategists the past week is any guide.

"This is a gimme election, or at least it should be," said conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham on Monday. "If you can't beat Barack Obama with this record, then shut down the party. Shut it down. Start new, with new people."

"I'm sure he's a nice guy, but I don't happen to think he represents the best vision for Romney on camera," Ingraham said of Fehrnstrom. "Election after election, we hire people who have lost previous campaigns, who've run campaigns that have failed, who have message campaigns where the message fell flat, and they keep getting rehired ... I don't understand that. I don't know why those are the people you hire."

Columnist George Will, appearing on Ingraham's show, returned to an earlier theme -- that Romney simply isn't a born conservative. "Mitt Romney does not have the feeling, the visceral, philosophically sound feeling for what's wrong with the progressive movement in this country," Will said. “He's a good man, a good fellow. He'd be a much better president than the one we've got. But he doesn't -- what I've said before about him is conservatism is a second language for him. And he is still learning it. And it's hard to learn this thing in the midst of a high-stakes presidential campaign."

I don't think Romney's "people" are the problem, according to Laura Ingraham. The Republicans have bad ideas and the voters are figuring it out.

1. A polished (and rich) turd

is still a turd. BTW if they really wanted a "conservative" and thought that only a "conservative" could win, why didn't they nominate somebody like, oh say, Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich? It's because they know that a Rick Santorum/Newt Gingrich can't possibly win a GE. When was the last time the GOP actually nominated a "firebreathing" Conservative whom won? NONE of their candidates and none of their winning candidates have ever been hardcore right-wingers. Well, I guess Goldwater was a hardcore conservative back in 1964- and he lost big to Johnson. All of the rest have been more "moderate" right-of-center "establishment" Republicans and Romney is no different- except that he has been running to the right during this election cycle and he's still running to the right to make sure the teabaggers don't desert him. However, at his heart, Mitt Romney seems to be more of a moderate Republican like he was in Massachusetts or at least seems able to present himself as such........

Oh, and before I forget:

2. The more people find out about the CONSERVATIVE ideas the more people are repulsed by them! nt

3. Obama's record is actually strong, which is what they pretend not to see

The Dem Convention reminded people of that, and they understood it intuitively. The GOP has spent hundreds of millions trying to convince people otherwise, and cannot, because their claims are obviously false.

4. Rmoney's people are the problem, they are a blight upon this country. We don't want them!

Nor don't we want more of failed policy, gutting & pillaging. We want our gov't back, and an end o GOP obstructionist. Get it Mitt?

5. Poor little Mittens

"And he is still learning it. And it's hard to learn this thing in the midst of a high-stakes presidential campaign."

He's only been running for 5 years now. It's hard to learn damn it!

6. "start new, with new people"?? Huh? You mean people like Joe Walsh and Allen West?

7. The top secret plans that Romney has for the presidency is turning people off. Simple as that.

8. Stick a fork in him, he's done.
