comMITTed to Romney!

Here’s a blast from the past. I remember how furious I was at Huckabee when he refused (like all tax and spenders) to answer a simple question with a simple answer. Mitt Romney asked him if he raised taxes in Arkansas and it was like root canal trying to pull the truth out of him. After three or four tries Pastor Mike finally ‘fessed up about the confiscatory tax rates he had always believed in as Gov. of Arkansas.

As Romney likes to say: “Facts are stubborn things” and the fact is that Pastor Mike raised taxes in Arkansas and he will raise them nation wide if we are naive enough to give him the opportunity.

Axelrod’s spinning won’t convince anyone who has been even half-way paying attention to our feckless President’s attempt to make a decision on Afghanistan. This man has been in office for 10 long, destructive months and he still hasn’t made a decision as to whether or not he will come to the aid of our military forces in the Middle East.

Gov. Romney is right to lambaste Obama for his weak “leadership” on foreign policy.

Roy Beck’s NUMBERS USA, an organization that promotes border law enforcement and an end to the wink, wink turn your back to the shameless illegal immigration mess in this country, has produced a new video that features sound bytes from the leaders of several organizations that call for a return to a sensible U.S. immigration policy. Worth your time to take a listen.

Pretty good pro Romney video. Makes me nostalgic for the good old days back in 2007-08 before America went socialist.

We have all had the experience of sitting in front of the TV or clicking onto a news website and watching as the MSM either totally ignores or spins a story to suit their leftist agenda. Many of us have also said, man, I wish there was someway we conservatives could get our message out there without having it pass through the traditional media’s filter.

There are, of course, some very good news organizations out there, who do give voice to conservatives, FOXNEWS, THE WALL ST. JOURNAL, NRO, IBD, TOWNHALL and others, but they can’t be everywhere and sometimes we find ourselves right in the middle of a story with our trusty mini DV camera at the ready. Those of us who contribute to political blogs have the latitude to cover stories that are not being followed by even the conservative outlets and to give voice to those voters who never get a chance to let their opinions be heard outside of the voting booth and then only every four years.

You may know that Craig Edwards and myself have started a podcast in April of this year that is on the CommittedtoRomney site. We have covered a wide range of subjects and the reception we have received has been very encouraging, but recently we found that we needed to find a different approach, something that would allow us to appeal to a wider spectrum of potential interviewees.

Several weeks ago Craig approached the two economists that he did the recent podcast interviews with and when he identified himself as a contributor to CTR, he was turned down for the interview.

Since the subject matter has by necessity widened way beyond promoting Gov. Romney for President, we thought we would create much more flexibility by creating a site that was a generic conservative blog and not specifically pro Romney.

Subsequent events have proven that to be the case. Some of the people that declined Craig’s first invitations to be interviewed on a Romney site have now said that they would be open to an interview with SOLIDPRINCIPLES.COM

When we find a news item that is centered on Gov. Romney, we will do the pod cast here at COMMITTEDTOROMNEY.COM and we will continue the Romney centered blog commentary here as well.

As you know, the Romney blogosphere is thriving as are Mitt’s Presidential prospects. NYforMitt is growing in the perception as one of the top Romney blogs, Bill Kuchman’s “Tick, Tick, Tick Mitt” YouTube video is one of the best in your face productions that I have seen, Planet Romney is loaded with new blog articles and even the MSM is acknowledging that Romney is the top GOP Presidential contender for 2012.

So, everyone fasten you seatbelts, it’s gonna be a wild ride from now to 2010 and 2012.

RNC Chairman Michael Steele Debates Gov. Tim Kaine

Many of you may be too young to remember any thing about soul singer James Brown, but for those of you who do, he used to be introduced as “The Hardest Working Man in Show Business.”

The two men in the Republican Party who have earned that title are Mitt Romney and Michael Steele. They sometimes appear to have cloned themselves, they are all over the place.

The new head of the RNC was verbally duking it out with George Stephanopoulus on ABC News this AM. Check out this YouTube of “The Man of Steele” in action defending market economics.

If Nancy Pelosi was some back bencher from an obscure district in the middle of nowhere, she wouldn’t make me nervous. The fact is that this internationally acclaimed rocket scientist is third in the line of succession to the Presidency!

Click on this YouTube video and watch and listen to a couple of the leading lights in the Democratic Party and it will remind you why you are a Republican.

Here is a rare YouTube video showing the Obama administration and their behind the scenes deliberations as they make important decisions concerning replacement nominees.

As you know, three of the four nominees can’t figure out a 1040 form, but were considered for top administration posts, one is rumored to be awaiting indictment.

It’s hard to take these folks seriously and yet we have to. By some cosmic snafu, they are
actually running this country, well, sort of.

Steelers will prove defense wins championships

[Editor's Note: The Arizona Cardinals used to be the St. Louis Cardinals, so I'm going with offense wins championships and hoping the Big Red can pull off the big win!]

Scouts Inc.: Pittsburgh defeated divisional rival Baltimore for the third time this season to advance to the franchise’s seventh Super Bowl appearance. The Steelers have won five of their six appearances, including Super Bowl XL three years ago. This team features many of the same players, but has a different persona. The Cardinals’ franchise history is very different. Much like the Super Bowl champions from the previous three years, the Cardinals have caught fire at the right time. Two years ago, the Cardinals’ current head coach, Ken Whisenhunt, and the Cardinals’ current assistant head coach, Russ Grimm, were with the Steelers organization and were finalists to be Bill Cowher’s successor. They both lost out to Mike Tomlin, but still have a great understanding of the Steelers franchise — including how to attack their personnel, especially QB Ben Roethlisberger and the offensive line. Meanwhile, if Tomlin wins this game, he will become the youngest NFL head coach ever to win the Super Bowl.

I came across this YouTube video from one of the primary debates and was impressed again by Gov. Romney’s communication skills. It is also worth noting how many people in Dr. Luntz’s focus group came into the room undecided and left as Romney supporters.

This is why I never got depressed over the outcome of the primaries. Frustrated, yes! Angry over the way a good man was treated by the press and some Neanderthal voters, of course. But never depressed.

If Gov. Romney throws his hat in the ring for 2012, with 100% name recognition, an experienced professional as well as grassroots campaign team in place, fund raising ability off the charts and what looks like an amateurish Obama administration having turned in a weak performance for four years, Team Romney will be hard to beat.

This is my second attempt to embed a YouTube video. The first was about a year and a half ago and the attempt was less than successful. I previewed the video on the site several times and everything seems to be working well.

This scene is from one of my favorite movies and one of my favorite actors, Sean Connery. In the dialogue where Connery asks Kevin Costner, “Do you want to know how to get Capone?” You can just substitute “the liberals” for Capone and I think that expresses the feelings of almost everyone on this site.

Well, here goes.

Hat Tip to Will Martin for sending me the heads up on the availability of this video of Gov. Romney’s speech at the Maine Republican Convention.

The story about the flag that flew above one of the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center on 9/11 is becoming famous in conservative circles.

Good to hear Gov. Romney delivering a speech with his characteristic insight.
