Mitt Romney showed us all this week why he cannot be considered a true Conservative or even a Republican and why it is a good thing for the GOP that he will be retiring from the Senate when his term expires. Romney appeared on CNN and gave a mixed message on his view of Donald Trump. Let’s try to break it down.

RINO Romney Says, Most of You Need to Get Out of the Primary Pool or Trump Walks Away with the Nomination
Mittens, like most Uniparty Republicans, has his dander up over the prospect of another Trump nomination. It’s cute in an elitist sort of way. Trump is the only guy we know will stand up for Americans (how dare he!), and Romeny happens to have a former campaign advisor who sits on the board of Burisma.
BlogLine of the Day – Twice the Truths!
“OTHER THAN A STRONG RESEMBLANCE TO RACE BANNON, HE BRINGS NOTHING TO THE TABLE: Mike Pence would be a candidate without a constituency.
And let’s be honest, Race Bannon was always cut out to be a #2.”
I Think I’ll Just Leave This Here – but Well Deserved
Well deserved, well deserved. Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) did not receive a warm welcome during his speech at Utah Republican Party convention. On Saturday, Romney addressed the crowd of 2,100 delegates but was met with loud boos. The Utah senator said, “Now you know me as a person as someone who says what he thinks. And … Read more
What Did Deb “Hot Dog” Stevens Think About Mitt Romney’s Dog on the Roof Story in 2012?
Mitt Romney lost to Barak Obama in 2012 for many reasons, none of them likely tied to binders full of women or the dog on the car roof story. But the latter popped into my head after writing the story about Dem Deb “Hot Dog” Stevens leaving her pooch in a hot car all day.
Thirty Pieces of Silver
Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of Silver. What was Mittens’ price? Burisma comes to mind. And, at the end of it Judas felt remorse and hanged himself.
Mitt Romney Advisor Sits on the Board of Burisma
A Foreign Policy Advisor for Mitt Romney’s 2012 Presidential run sits on the Board of Burisma. Romney is the sole Republican to vote to convict President Trump on an article of Impeachment. Can that be a coincidence?
BREAKING NEWS – No more witness, Trump may be acquitted tomorrow
BUMPED and UPDATED II: It’s sounding like this will be done by Wednesday.
BUMPED and UPDATED: Murkowski will vote NO on more Impeachment witnesses. The Democrats needed 4 Republicans to force the issue; they got Mittens and “never know how she’s gonna vote” Collins. This is almost all over.
**************************
Four Republican Senators had to vote with the Democrats to have more witnesses (e.g., that the US House Democrats should have done in their ‘inquiry’ but refused to follow up their subpoenas with Judicial orders). Two of the regular suspects have decided to do just that.
Mitt Romney’s Favorability Falls Off a Cliff
When I say this couldn’t happen to a nicer guy I mean that. Mitt Romney. He went to Washington and took over for John McCain as the Chief RINO Anti-Trumper band leader and (believe it or not) Americans aren’t impressed.
Notable Quote – Vectorman
And this is why I endorse and will vote for Donald Trump for re-election. Reformatted, emphasis mine: “Brooks is, of course, horrified at Trump and his supporters, whom he finds childish, thuggish and contemptuous of the things that David Brooks likes about today’s America. It’s clear that he’d like a social/political revolution that was more … Read more
Whistle-blower Who (didn’t) ‘Overhear’ Trump Ukraine Call is a Democrat Who Worked on a Presidential Campaign
We like free speech because when Democrats exercise it, they provide us with more material than we can know what to do. A case in point: The Left’s latest “we have you now” scandal.
Blogline of the Day – Why did Obama Win?
We interrupt this orgy of Obama worship to recall that his campaign huddled early in 2012 and reflected that they could not run on his first-term record. Accordingly, the strategy was “Kill Romney.” Congratulations. That what we’re celebrating today. – Mona Charen, NRO Contributor and syndicated columnist
Data Point – A tidbit from the Presidential race – if it means anything at all
FWIW: The Corner: But wait, just in case this wasn’t bad enough, here’s a look at Obama’s vote margin in some key states as of this afternoon (these figures will change a bit as those straggling precincts report in): Virginia: 107,339 Ohio: 100,763 Florida: 47,493 Colorado: 111,094 Nevada: 66,379 Total: 433,068 So for less than … Read more
Chris Christie – Fallen off the Pedestal?
Face it, when Chris Christie first burst onto the scene campaigning for the NJ Governorship, he became an instant hit with a lot of Conservatives. Not that he was all THAT conservative but that he was willing to take on the press, unions, and nay-sayers in a “take-no-prisoner” fashion. And in that manner, just like Gingrich during the Republican Primaries (and here in NH when I went to events where he was), he refused to play defense; instead he went on full offense.
Nice to see a Republican go toe to toe and not descend into the “don’t rock the boat” mode. Not nice to see him these past two weeks slobbering over Obama and “The Boss” Springsteen (really, cried?). Conservatives will forgive a lot, over time, but when you are first seen waging war FOR Romney, then playing patty-cake with the opponent (beyond what many believed was needed for a Governor talking with a President during a crisis). Now this:
EMail Doodlings – OK, putting this up a couple days late.
But actually, it turned out to be a bit prescient, as in two races here in NH in my mind (Frank Guinta & Bob Burns), what I warned about came true:
This may not sit well….
It seems to me that the full bore / hard core Libertarians (“HCLs”) on this list (which, after all is the REPUBLICAN Liberty Caucus and not the LIBERTARIAN Liberty Caucus – I could not resist) are turning out to be not Libertarians concerning this election but Nihilists.
Given that their more favored candidates absolutely bombed out during the primary and have gotten no traction since, you folks are all deciding to go home and pout. Given that the expected Home Run At Bat (perhaps expected given the tremendous gains that Libertarians had here in NH in 2010) has turned out in THIS election to be the Biggest Whiff since Casey in Mudville in actual candidate attraction to the general electorate (as opposed to other Libertarians), all I am hearing is a massive hissy fit. Instead of treating it as a double or triple in 2010 and knowing that sometimes that only singles or strikeouts happen, if you can’t get that four bagger, then the game is rigged, the umps stink, and the ball has lard on it. So effectively, you all are going to throw your votes away. Period. That is how you all are coming across (and that means you Jane – I saw some of the NHTEAParty tweets and retweets during the debates you sent and utterly cringed).
Libertarians – some might be the “Cloward-Pivens of the Right this election”?
This may not sit well…. Actually, what I wrote below I did before stumbling on this: “The Cloward – Pivens of the Right” where the topic is about a Libertarian that will be voting for Johnson and will not even consider a vote against Obama:
The fact that his vote might end up causing Romney to lose and Obama to win is irrelevant to this man. He and others of his ilk, who might be addressed by Bill Whittle’s video [here -Skip] but who close themselves to its message and who look instead to the imminent arrival of an economic apocalypse, have more in common with the far left than they think they do. They are the Cloward-Pivenistas [who willingly almost drove New York City into bankruptcy; more here -Skip] of the right. They believe that, if things get bad enough, the system will break down and enough people will see the light and then the true conservative dawn will break.
Cloward and Piven thought the breakdown would lead people towards the leftist light. People like Susanamantha’s friend think it will be the light on the right. But the idea is similar: endure (or even cause) pain now for future gain….Both sides are idealists, Don Quixotes if you will (although perhaps that’s being unfair to the Don) against the rest of us plodding Sancho Panzas. It’s an old story, isn’t it? A perfectionistic idealism is where the Don Quixotes on the right meet those on the left, in a dangerous no man’s land. The ones on the right could well end up encouraging the triumph of what they most hate.

Another “Political Campaign Stunt” By Romney
“It seems that the first victim of an Obama campaign is the truth.” —Mitt Romney
Throughout this campaign, there is one issue Mitt Romney has not talked about. What the Romney has not talked about is his profound generosity over many, many years to so many people. Mitt has not only given of himself personally, but he has given his time and a significant amount of his wealth to truly help others in need.
We have seen report after report of others (Not those in the Romney Camp) going forth to the media and speaking of how Mitt and his family have been so exceedingly generous to so many for more than 40 years. Let me say that again. Mitt and his family have been so exceedingly generous to so many for more than 40 years.
FaceBook Doodlings: Libertarians & Free Staters: let me amplify what Tim said about Tuesday
Tim put up this post, urging movement Libertarians to consider how they’d be voting on Tuesday:
If you are a libertarian, or if you are a Free Stater, or if you just believe in limited government, individual freedom, and personal responsibility….
David Mamet, the famed playwright that was hard Left and just veered Right after finally realizing what the results of the Left have done, put it another way (even as he was speaking to Liberal Jews, it fits here):
Are you prepared to explain to your children not the principles upon which your vote is cast, but its probable effects upon them?
Go read the whole thing. Tim’s post started a bit of a conversation on Facebook and I waded in (note: I’ve not been active on FB for a while but given the tenor (pretty much, I “went there”. Now Leah was the main respondent and we’ve been friendly ever since we met when the TEA Party decided to “meet & greet” back in 2009 when Obama sojourned to Portsmouth, NH. On FB, she expressed an attitude that many Libertarians seem to hold: both Romney and Obama are pretty much communists and there’s no difference between them (and many view Romney as actually being worse). The comment that set me off was one about Romney not being able to reverse what Obama has done:
“He is not a king, and cannot just make a pronouncement that he declares a law null and void.“
Have you not been paying attention!! What the heck do you think Obama has actually been doing???? My response (edited to be more bloggish and a bit more expanded here):
