Why did he win the nomination? I thought the majority of repubs were conservative?

One of the most successful businessmen in the country.

Had a successful term as governor.

And as Ozmo said, he's not Obama.

That it?

I`d also like to know why exactly did Romney win the Republican Nomination if voters in his party supposedly hate him so much and don`t consider him a Conservative at all.

Why did he win and what does it say about Republicans in general?

Simple - conservative votes wer spread thin over ron paul, santorum, and newt. Romney got enough of the rino types to win overall.

Not that complicated.

When he dies the mormon god will give him his own planet

I wish some reporter would ask him about that

Like that story is so much more far fetched than any other religious hubbub? You can do better than that SM.

47th out of 50 in Job Creation. And Mass ain't exactly a poor state

Signed an Assault weapons ban.

Appointed very liberal judges.

Gave us romneycare.

Now, it's cool to say "he's better than obama, elect him".
But I think you're being dishonest calling him a successful governor. Maybe successful for liberals in mass. Maybe not so conservative tho.

Oh that's hilarious. The lying liar calling someone dishonest? lol

Successful business person

Turned around the olympics - Not exactly

rescued missing person - No, he made every one of his employees look for her since it was his friend's daughter. He would never do that for a scrub worker.

and most importantly

A B O

No he didn't....he just had more money and he used it to run a smear campaign against all of the contenders...especially Newt and Santorum. That's why they won't even support him....hell Gingrich went on TV and said that Obama attacking Bain Capital was fair game.

Romney can't spend his way into a win....Obama has over 100 million dollars more money in his war chest than Romney who has about 9 million.

TA - what were some of the positives about obama in 2008?

We know Romney is smarter and had better grades at both BYU and Harvard.

Romney has more experience than obama did in 2008

Romney is not associated with domestic terrorists and communists

Romney at least worked in a real job and understands payroll.

And most importantly -

OBAMA HAS BEEN A DISASTROUS FAILURE.

Time for change - and if mittens screws up - we vote his ass out in 2016 too.

Successful term as governor? Really?

Does anyone expect he will win his home state? I mean, that would show me how successful his term was.

Yes, successful. Left the state in better shape fiscally than when he took over.

I don't know if he'll win his home state, but whether he wins or loses Massachusetts in November will no have bearing on the condition of his state years ago.

I would love for them to have asked the same thing about obama in 2008. LOL

He's clean and does not have a criminal record so far as we can tell, although he has admitted to committing numerous crimes via his drug addicition.

He's losing in his home state by over 25 points.....might win North Carolina.....Virginia and Ohio are leaning Obama by about 5 points with is still striking for Romney if he campaigns hard enough.

Anyone have anything to list?

The only thing I can say is that Romney is a likable guy....he's not a racist like Santorum, a liar like Bachmann, an adulterer like Newt, or a womanizer like Cain.

He's a seemingly nice guy but in reality he's pretty cutthroat and Ruthless.....and at least his parents were American Born unlike Obama's...

Religion is a powerful thing that causes a lot of people to do bad things in gods name. I won't down a religion that preaches good family values and being good to your fellow man. I put it in with Buddhism , pure Christianity and any other religion that just tells you to be a good person, even if it does so by telling you there is an incentitve at the end.

what did you read? I can cite some examples - romneycare, AWB - of him being a piece of shit liberal.

If he has a liberal senate, will he be signing anti-gun bills?

What were his conservative achievements as governor?

Romneycare is working rather well for Massachussetts in terms of lowering costs and the number of uninsured persons. Further, it is based in the conservative principle of personal responsibility, what with its insistence that people stop taking advantage of free care and instead getting their own insurance. In fact, the policy originated as a proposal from the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. Try getting info from places besides your TV set; it has led you to be an extremely shallow thinker and it shows.

It wasn't just money, although that was a huge part of it. He was also better overall in debates. Aside from the time he really flubbed the tax return issue, he was solid in every debate.

He also had the advantage of running for president for about the last five years or so.

I'm curious - do you think Mitt's winning implies something about Repubs in general? You may be implying as much but I'm not quite sure.

No.

I think TA needs to respond because he made the comment and unless I'm crazy there was sort of insinuation there, however weak.

Insinuation of what? No idea what you're talking about?

Soul Crusher · « **Reply #49 on:** May 30, 2012, 07:48:34 PM »

Romney won because newt and Santorum split the same voters. RP ran a ridiculous campaign destined to fail by never attacking Obama.

I get in facebook arguments with some of the Paul fanatics and they are beyond reason. Paul could have won, but he decided to stick to a formula that does not win TJE big show. Too bad too.
