-That is a case for Obama and Paul, then, not Romney.
-Can anyone deny they were talking about Paul here? Lol.
-I.e., Romney is a boring sack of respectability politics (read: compromise with the liberal agenda). Why would I want that?
No wonder I favored Barry O over Willard in 2012. Romney offered me nothing. Not even repeal of Obamacare. Can one expect a leopard to change his spots?
Entitlement cuts for everyone, tax cuts for the rich. Not that I totally disagree, but what a terrible general election message to send!
I agree with the analysis I've highlighted. That was Romney's campaign and it didn't sit well with an America reeling from 2008.
The above quote SHOULD have been the theme Romney ran on. Such a theme would have been authentic for Romney; instead of the phony "job creator", he could be a guy who made tough decisions, did the responsible thing. He could have been a guy who made the case for states doing healthcare and not the Federal Government, and used his state as an example, instead of running away from taking credit for a success because Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin would bash him on talk radio of he did.
The above quote describes the man Mitt Romney actually was/is, and the campaign he should have ran. It wouldn't have been perfect, and Romney was not a candidate without flaw. But had he run on those themes, he's have been less phony. Romney came off as one of the phoniest candidates for President in recent memory, trying to be something he really wasn't, and it burned him in the end, IMO.
