Thread: Mitt Romney... our current biggest 2012 obstacle?

  1. #1

    Default Mitt Romney... our current biggest 2012 obstacle?

    Mitt Romney is filthy rich so he can self fund his campaign, has a large and experienced campaign staff, gets tons of media attention, and generally looks like he is going to be going into 2012 with a huge head start for the presidential nomination. However, he has tons of weaknesses that can be exploited. He passed Romney Care in Massachusetts, which is very similar to Obama care. He passed an assault weapons ban in Massachusetts. He has an overall liberal record and positions(until campaigning for president, of course...), but the previously mentioned issues I think would be great to rub in his face as much as possible.

    Does everyone here remember how Giuliani had Ron Paul people protesting his events? There were Ron Paul signs and supporters everywhere he went for a while. I even remember a hilarious photo-shopped picture of him surrounded by the signs. I think Romney should get that same treatment. Everywhere he goes we should be there reminding everyone that:
    "Mitt care=Obama care, say no to socialism"
    "Mitt Romney thinks the 2nd amendment is about hunting"
    "Go back to Massachusetts, and keep your socialism there where it belongs"
    "The next Arlen Specter?"
    Etc.

    Thoughts?
    It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.

    Yeah, that and maybe youtube attack ads, complete with ominous music and scary voice. People eat that shit up.

    Yeah Mittens is probably the main obstacle for the presidency, which means we must have a really good shot.

    Pointing out inconsistencies with Romney's record and highlighting Ron Paul's support for homeschooling ought to win over many primary voters.

    I've always wanted to get back at Romney ever since this:

    YouTube - Romney Booed after mocking Ron Paul


    Furthermore, I can't believe people would actually support Romney after this:

    YouTube - Ron Paul tells Mitt Romney to read the Constitution!

    Romney isn't going very far.

    The media has already started hammering him about how the health care plan he established for Massachusetts has much in common with what Obama pushed through Congress.

    My guess is, Rick Perry will be the "chosen one".

    He's talking a bunch of populist sounding rhetoric which is entwined with neocon warmongering.

    Yeah, they have definitely called him out on RomneyCare out in the MSM... but I feel they have been letting him get away with his half-assed explanations for it way too easily. But of course you can't expect anything less from the MSM on letting people spin their way out of a situation.

    Although I'm not a big O'Reilly fan - he did do a pretty good job on slamming him about RomneyCare in MA, and didn't really let him spin his way out of it as easily.

    I suggest we rename Mitt Romney to Mitt 'The Mandate' Romney

    For the most part, FOX network is the propaganda arm of the GOP.

    If O'Reilly is grilling Romney, it means that Romney doesn't have favor with the republican party machine.
