ComMITTed to Romney!

Please be patient with me, but I am back. I’m going to continue to use this software until I can get it recoded so that comments have to get approval before showing up. But, I wanted to let you all know that I am indeed back. Look for new posts later today!

I apologize for the lack of content the past few days, but the site has been overwhelmed with spam comments, and I am in the process of changing my software. I don’t know how the transition will go. I hope smoothly, at any rate please be patient and know that the site is not going inactive, nor going away anytime soon.

In this article from The Boston Globe, it tells of Mr. Romney’s calls for “high-level resignations so it can move past the “ethical scandal” surrounding lobbyist Jack Abramoff.” This is definitely one thing that sets Mr. Romney apart from other republicans in that he has a squeaky clean record when it comes to ethics. Later in the article he also chided Senator Ted Stevens from Alaska for his $223 bridge project to an island of 50 inhabitants. “I understand Congress is reluctant to give up the power it has to allow individual members and potentially influential lobbyists to insert wasteful, unnecessary projects into key pieces of legislation that the country needs,” Romney said.

Should he take this invitation (which I don’t see how he wouldn’t), Mr. Romney sure would get a global audience, which is always a good thing for anyone contemplating a run for the Presidency. Plus, it will remind us all of his glowing success of the Salt Lake Olympics in 2002.

BOSTON –Gov. Mitt Romney, credited with resurrecting the Salt Lake City Olympics, has been invited to attend a portion of the succeeding games next month in Italy.

After an 11-day family holiday vacation in Utah, Gov. Mitt Romney kicked off the new work year yesterday at a GOP get-together on a coastal Georgia hunting reserve.
Romney, who is chairman of the Republican Governors Association, had originally been scheduled to return to Massachusetts from Utah Monday, but instead flew Monday night from Utah to Sea Island, Ga., to attend the group�s �Sportsmen Challenge.�

For now, I’m going to put the article up. But, one thing that I’d like to point out is this quote in the article:

Romney’s concern over carbon caps is shared by other Northeastern governors. Republican Donald Carcieri of Rhode Island, Republican Robert Ehrlich of Maryland and Democrat Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania also took their states out of RGGI conformity.

While doing a search on technorati about beloved Mr. Romney, I found this article on the blog Drinking Liberally. Which in itself the sites name I found amusing. But, getting to the crux of why I care to mention them.

In the blog entry it states:

The Wall Street Journal today ran an editorial about our guy Mitt probably running for Chief Brush Clearer in 2008. I hate him now more than ever.

Two of his quotes really bothered me:

He praises George W. Bush on the war: “The president is right to point to an international jihadist movement aimed at the collapse of the United States,” he says. “He has gone after that threat in the right way and with great energy and vigor, and I applaud the fact that he has taken it on very seriously and has not considered it just a criminal action but instead a war action, which requires a military . . . response.”

Romney is a little punk a**. Stop kissing ass! No one can say we’ve dealt with this terror thing “in the right way,” and the fact that he repeats the right wing talking points which paint liberals with this “terrorism is MERELY criminal” approach makes me sick. Someone please slap him.

The other part that got to me:

Mr. Romney is a scathing critic of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court’s 2003 decision imposing same-sex marriage: “We’ve got a liberal activist court . . . and I have now seen firsthand the perils of a court that decides to substitute its values for that of the founders.”

What a well-trained dog he is. “liberal activist court.” Wow, Mitt. Did you think of that all on your own?? And big word here: perils! Listen up everybody. The “founders” had a lot of jacked up “values” and I’ll be the first to say it really loud. I welcome an activist court that would substitute its values in place of a bunch of child-labor using, women-disenfranchising, native people-murdering, slave holders.

What I find incredibly interesting about these points is that the insults are directed at him in the way that he’s a “lapdog” for the administration. It’s not really challenging the points on their merits, it’s in a word “Bush bashing”. You really have to credit these liberal minded individuals for their small mindedness. Is that all you got? Even the admittance that the founders would be against gay marriage, and it’s legality. In a roundabout sort of way this blog is actually in praise of Mr. Romney in terms of that point. As for the founders being child-labor using, women-disenfranchising, native-people murdering, slave holders. I don’t agree with this assessment. But, if the author of this blog entry feels so strongly about these feelings, the founders put in place a way to change laws. That’s through constitutional amendment. This blog entry reminds me of a child having a temper tantrum when realizing they’re wrong, but yet they have to get their last fit out of the way.

This last point was classic of the above mentioned point.

I hope Mitt runs and catches a big time GOP hate-filled smackdown. Wait till they accuse you of having an illegitimate black baby, Mitt. Then come crying back to Massachusetts.

I’m sure they hope that Mitt goes down during the primaries. You can just smell the fear. If he gets the nomination then they know they’re doomed. He’s the strongest candidate, and has the strongest chance of taking down any Democratic nominee that gets put up for the job.

As for crying back to Massachusetts…hmmm…I think we can see who the crybaby is here.

We at Elect Romney in 2008 want to wish you all a most happy and prosperous New Year 2006.
