These are two outstanding comments to a crazy anti- Romney article today in NewsWeek
Posted By: mrunpc (January 31, 2008 at 5:08 PM)
John McCain's candidacy was dead and buried until a few weeks before the NH primary due to incompetent staff, mismanagement and lack of money. McCain himself admits that he's not well versed on economics...and voters are somehow convinced that this man can oversee the country's economy better than a highly successful private sector businessman like Mitt Romney?
Strip away John McCain's 40+ year ago military experience, which we're NEVER allowed to forget about or question (it's just about ALL he ever references in speeches and debates no matter what question he's asked), and you have nothing but a tired, old, empty suited, Washington, D.C. political hack/insider. He is an extremely weak candidate and a terrible debater by every account, especially compared to Mitt Romney (or even Huckabee).
Without the assistance of his "Canes" propping him up during this farce of a campaign, John McCain's candidacy would still be dead and buried. Day after day, the canes come out of the political woodwork to endorse ol' RINO (Republican In Name Only) Johnny.
MCCAIN CANE # 1...the Liberal biased Main Stream Media and Press. With orgasmic puff story after puff story, it resurrected McCain from the dead, elevating him to frontrunner status just in time for the election.
MCCAIN CANE # 2...Independent and Democrat voters, who, for some bizarre reason, are allowed to vote in the REPUBLICAN primaries. I'd LOVE to meet the rocket scientists in those states who allow THAT to happen. In Florida, Mitt Romney was gathering tremendous momentum and soaring in the polls until the weekend before the election.
MCCAIN CANE # 3...Florida Governor Crist who endorsed McCain just TWO days before the election.. Unfortunately, it was enough to convince a woefully uninformed voting public to vote for McCain and against Romney who was soaring in the polls until that moment. While this was bad enough, the fact that so many thousands of Floridians had to be TOLD who to vote for just TWO days before such an important election was despicable, shameful, if not downright scary.
MCCAIN Cane # 4...Rudy Guiliani, who ends his "campaign" with an endorsement of who else but John McCain hours before the California debate. Even with THAT, McCain, who has always been a terrible debater, was crushed by Mitt Romney at every turn...imagine what Obama would do to McCain?
MCCAIN Cane # 5...California Governor, Arnold Schwartzenager who now is endorsing old Johnny just before the Super Tuesday primaries.
If John McCain is the Republican nominee (heaven forbid), it will be done SOLELY with the assistance of his canes. Without them, he is nearly helpless and will be easily defeated by either Hillary Clinton or upstart, 36 year old Barack Hussein Obama.
Mitt Romney is by far the most qualified man in EITHER party and is a class act all the way. And yet since he became a GOP candidate for president, I have seen nothing but negative, trivial articles/stories about his Mormon religion, his money, his slick appearance, etc, all fully intended to sway a naive electorate that pays far too little attention to the most important 4 year event in our country. Mitt Romney is a TRUE family man and very successful at turning failed or failing enterprises around and, Lord knows, the United States of America needs turning around. It should be run as a business first, with a strong military to protect it from harm. All other social, giveaway programs should be scrutinized (and certainly would be under a Romney presidency) as to efficiency and even necessity. The fact that he was even elected Governor in a state (MA) controlled by 85% Democrat legislature was a feat in itself. In spite of it, he did a very admirable job as Governor, turning a large state deficit into a surplus. Of course, his many justified vetoes were constantly overturned by those liberal Democrats which made for a lot of frustration.
If Mitt Romney does get the GOP nomination it will be MUCH to the chagrin of the Democrat National Committee liberal propaganda machine because he will be their worst nightmare and most difficult to defeat...Obama, Clinton, or otherwise.
John McCain's time has long since come and gone and it has become more than obvious during this primary campaign that he doesn't even have the ability to WALK up the White House "stairs" without his "Canes," let alone RUN the biggest economy and country in the world.

After reading the member comments, I would encourage those in Mitt Romney's corner to begin a grass roots movement like no other. The only way the biased media will be defeated is if the silent majority is silent no more. Those who are commited to the belief that Romney is the better choice will be crying after Tuesday if they don't get things moving in a positive direction for him today. Who cares about the endorsements?! Notice, if you will, they are generally from very liberal individuals. So---believers in the American Dream, by keeping an upstanding proven leader in the financial and governmental arenas, get on it. Talk to friends, do massive emailing. Attend gatherings where people are meeting to discuss the "issues" and start making a difference in this campaign before it is too late. For those who have whined on this site about Romney's personal wealth, I suggest you do a little research on McCain's wife's wealth---which they are holding close to the vest rather than investing it in his quest to add the presidency to his portfolio. Those who would attack someone because of his/her success or religious beliefs, are just too ignorant to convince. Bigots are just bigots! Yet, from the sounds of the comments here, there are some pretty well informed, intelligent people out there who know a snake when they see one, and also see how the media and those non-thinking individuals who get caught up in the frenzy and manipulation are buying into the idea of two democrats running in this election. One bona fide democrat and another dressed in GOP clothing, but underneath---a democrat. I implore you to get out and make a difference! IT is time for the people of America who represent what's best in America to have their voices heard!!! Now---we have until Tuesday----so----go get 'em!!!
