Mitt Romney

Romney’s Next Debate

Posted in 2012 Election, Humor, Politics on February 9th, 2012

With the LSM either taking their clues from the White House or providing them to Obama’s handlers, it’s still the odds on bet that Mitt Romney will be the GOP Nominee in the 2012 elections. That has been well proven by the ongoing attacks thinly veiled as debate questions posed to more Conservative candidates – when they’re allowed to speak at all.

Really, they should just have debates with only Mitt Romney in them. There’d still be all sides of every issue represented.

Still, as the LSM’s and Obama’s presumptive GOP nominee Romney does make an interesting comparison against Obama.

Obama was raised as a Muslim and may share in all or part of their ideology and Romney has changed political positions so often he looks like a Whirling Dervish. Romney has held every position on every issue during his political tenure and Obama has done his best to hold none.

This is going to give a whole new and sad meaning to “All or Nothing.”

Tancredo’s Out

Posted in 2008 Election on December 20th, 2007

On December 20th, 2007, Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) announced that he was retiring from the 2008 Presidential Election Campaign. Representative Tom Tancredo ended his campaign, and in an unexpected move, endorsed Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts’ bid for the Presidency in 2008.

I find this more than unexpected; I find it rather shocking. The two men’s respective platforms do not have that much in common.

Mr. Tancredo said that he had met with Mr. Romney and is confident of the Governor’s sincerity and commitment. Mr. Tancredo acknowledged that he and Mr. Romney differ on some aspects of their respective immigration policies, such as a “timeout.” Mr. Tancredo said that he and Mr. Romney agreed on securing the borders, penalizing “sanctuary cities” and prosecuting employers who knowingly employed illegal immigrants.

Somebody’s going to win this race.” It’s not going to me, so really what you’re looking for is that person you hope and pray will carry on.

– Rep. Tom Tancredo

Frankly, Tancredo was “one trick pony” – immigration reform. I’m not surprised he dropped out of the race. I don’t think Tancredo stood much of a chance against the more rounded candidates. Sadly, this means the US’ best shot at solving the immigration problem is gone – but I think that all Tancredo would have been good for.
