Mitt Romney's General Election Pivots

Reader Comments
Back to article

Mr Schlesinger is wrong, because he holds the cynicism of a political pundant. Romney is a fatally flawed candidate because he has engaged in (and given his character, will continue to engage in) out right and outrageous lies. This is completely out of the mainstream and norm the level of deceit that Romney has engaged in (and continues to engage in).
Let me remind Mr Schlesinger that Obama holds the characteristic ten point advantage of an incumbent President of the US. Such a flawed candidate as Romney can't surmount the ten point doubt factor.
BTW, there is a way for Romney to win, but he simply doesn't have the character to utilize this strategy (I favor Obama, but I'll even tell you because I am so sure Romney doesn't have the character to implement it effectively - i.e. with all his soul - that is to utilize the "Paradigm of Abundance").

No, Mr Schlesinger is wrong, Obama will not go after Romney as a "conservative," he will go after him as too risky, because of the flip-flops and lies that Romney has engaged in. Mr Schlesinger is like a lot of Republican pundants and thinks that Romney can do whatever he wants and people will just think he is another politician. No Mr Schlesinger, Romney has gone far beyond the normal politician in flip-floping and and out right lying. He is too risky (given we don't know what he believes in), when Obama is a known commodity.

Congratulations to the Ron Paul campaign for winning Maine this week. Great news from Nevada too. Amazing the momentum in Massachusetts as well. The Ron Paul Revolution wins ground ~ a fight for liberty well done.
America rising, with Liberty and Justice.... when All our neighbors are free. Be responsible.

Glad to see for now you stopped saying the things you have been saying that are untrue. You respond with another INSPIRATIONAL, GUNG-HO, soap box for R. Paul.

There are the gods of power, and there are the gods of love. There are the wars of conquest and there are the wars of liberation. Billions of small candles there are of us to light the darkness, lighted threads weaving the fabric of our world. Jesus told in many parables - and in many acts of love - the miracles that come of faith. There is the darkness, and there is the light. There are 'descriptions of the world', and there are pervasive and holy acts amongst us.. of kindnesses.
'One Nation, under God, Indivisible...... with Liberty...... and Justice for All'. America united against the darkness.. United, We Do Stand.

There come events in the story of mankind that turn history toward the light of peace and of unenslavements. We're all a part of one.. of such events.
The Angels of our nature will win and take all the forms of all religions and of all cultures.
The truth is out there.

John of NY _ Short but not sweet comment for you...
YOU twist things to your way of thinking (all that inspiration jazz of yours). This will be a short comment for me. Even without you giving your link (adore tearing apart statements using their own link), you blew your cover as having ___ political sanity ___:
You wrote "When fox news has no doubt that Ron Paul wins in at Least five of the States that were earlier announced as winners for others due to 'straw poll' results..... "
1. "fox news has no doubt "
So this is your evidence Paul won in 5 States. _____ I PITY YOU _____. Concentrate on "no doubt". Does not have meaning of ABSOLUTE FACT. That Paul won 5 States. Proof shows 3 and Washington State __ is not __ 4th.
2. "'straw poll' ".
YOU are good at _ grasping for straw _.
Who cares about “straw polls”. Has NOTHING TO DO with delegates. Not a poll many respect in most instances...

The direction of our country per Real Clear Politic Poll spells doom for Mr. Obama in November, and these figures will get worse later this year:
Date: 4/12-5/1
Right Direction: 32.6%
Wrong Track: 60.2%
Spread: -27.6%
Personally, I believe you Dems best give up your losing ways....

When people come to hear ... come by the thousands day after day to hear the truth... that means the truth has been in short supply lately........ and so it goes until "Truth is treason in the empire of lies"... but the truth can be 'blacked out' for only so long ...
Dr. Ron Paul is the voice of fallen patriots, the memory of Freedom's lost and restless spirit.
When fox news has no doubt that Ron Paul wins in at Least five of the States that were earlier announced as winners for others due to 'straw poll' results..... then it's more than fair to say that at least 5 wins belong to the candidate of truth in America. Also remember that some of the biggest States haven't even voted yet.
May the race continue? Why be so over-anxious for an early or inappropriate announcement? There is no even playing field.. there never was. A champion is wanted, and is here... and when chosen will restore our mighty Republic. This Republic so conceived in Liberty...but then so strained by boughten favors.
Some folks wanted to end the primary season before it was begun, and some like starting the general election long before it's due. What is the hurry, why be so afraid of the truth being told?
Delegates in other places are seeing the light. The "unit rule" might not keep Mitt Romney's delegates 'in line' ..... and of the rough and tumble in American politics.... renewal.
