Romney Kicks Off Presidential Run, But His Slogan Kerrys a Familiar Tune

By Doug Powers  •  April 12, 2011 12:23 AM

**Written by Doug Powers

One of the first things an “exploratory committee” should do is explore whether or not anybody from the political opposition has fairly recently used the same slogan, but maybe that’s insignificant when that opposition is also saddling you with being the brainchild of their signature piece of unpopular legislation. We’ll get to all that in a minute.

First the story from Politico:

Mitt Romney made it official Monday, announcing he’s formed a presidential exploratory committee for his all-but-certain second-chance Republican campaign next year with a video that highlights the nation’s massive loss of jobs and says “President Obama’s policies have failed.”

The move makes Romney the second semi-declared contender — Tim Pawlenty was the first, and on the Democratic side Obama made official last week — and will allow him to start raking in campaign cash toward a massive fundraising goal of well over $50 million.

He also made the announcement a day before the fifth anniversary of enacting as governor a sweeping Massachusetts health care law that has emerged as one of his biggest obstacles to winning the GOP nomination and one that Democrats have been gleefully seizing on.

Here’s Romney’s logo and slogan heading into 2012:

null

(Aquafresh sold separately)

“Believe in America” — where have we heard that slogan before?

null

Romney’s slogan is ringing a bell, I just can’t connect the dots at the moment.

In any case, President Obama and David Axelrod have on numerous occasions credited Romney as providing the Hope & Change crew with the conceptual modeling clay for Obamacare, and Mitt’s first slogan for the 2012 campaign is recycled from John Kerry. I’ve seen stronger starts, but who knows what’ll happen.

Here’s the video from Romney’s website:

    Mitt chances are slim and none of winning the nomination, let alone the Presidency, because all those “moderates” he and so many other Republicrats chase after will never vote for a Mormon for President. You know…the people who like to remind everyone how open-minded they are?

    Also saw Ann Coulter on Hannity last night. I remember her swooning over Romney back in 2007-08 and hoped to hear an updated opinion but she said very little.

    She seemed unprepared.

    It is Mitt’s turn. I expect the same calendar rigging favoring him as was done for McCain.
    The media will help because who better than Romneycare as an opponent for Obamacare?

    The most important thing to the RNC is that the candidate support amnesty.

    The voters can refuse to cooperate with the plan.
    They didn’t last time.

    Hannity did not ask the right question to Ann. She said he had his birth certificate posted on his website. He has posted his COLB, not his birth certificate. The COLB is what she is referencing. I always thought that his real certificate would say his fathers religion or citizenship and that is why he hides it. However I found this example of a Hawaii birth certificate and it doesn’t look to me that anything would be incriminating. We know his Father was born in another country. It doesn’t mention citizenship etc.

    birth certificate

    I am only left with what was his Fathers citizenship at the time of his birth? It doesn’t appear that his birth certificate would shed any light on that.

    The best guess I have is that if he was born Barack Hussein Obama, changed to Barry Soetoro upon adoption, changed back to Barack Hussein Obama, there are records for all that. Remember the HI officials keep referring to vital records. Plural. The last ammendment was made in 2007. That’s when he changed it back, oopsie………

    I still don’t think he has one. It may be considered loony by both sides to think he wasn’t born in the US, but without the real certificate being shown there is still no reason to believe it. That is the most obvious (and to me still the most likely) reason he wouldn’t want to show it.

    With that said, Congress has signed off on him being born here, and the Supremes won’t deal with it, so other than a state-level proof of eligibility to be on the ballot, no action on this issue appears to be likely.

    Phil – Glad you & Happy made up, and I have to say that you make some very good points about the nose-holders. But I still would like to point out that while I understand and appreciate what you’re saying, I still respectfully disagree with you. At least with any RINOs we’re 99% sure they aren’t h**l-bent on destroying the country, while with Obambi & his friends we know that’s EXACTLY what the purpose is. I wish I could be as sure about my convictions as so many other posters here – I appreciate those of you that can in good faith vote anyone but a RINO, but I’ve seen the evil that has been perpetrated on this country for the past 2 yrs and I honestly don’t believe we can come out of it if he’s in office for 4 more yrs.

    Thank you for your comments. If it helps you get to where we movement conservatives are, think of Obama’s first term as Bust 43′s 3rd term. He has done nothing that Bush wasn’t already doing which is why the Republicans are so accommodating.

    We are trying to prevent a 4th Bush term which is what we will be offered in 2012 unless we seize control of the GOP this year. If we don’t, the RINO they shoe horn again into the nomination will lose and the RINOs will blame us conservatives. They hope this will kill the Tea Party and clear the way for Jebbie in 2016.

    So, for the GOP, 2012 is about ending the influence of the conservatives once and for all so they can have a free path for Bush’s 5th term in 2016.

    Our battle is this year. Next year, we wreck the GOP once and for all so we can fight the liberal Democrats directly without the GOP blocking us all the time.

    Without this GOP, the Dems have to shift to the right even if Obama wins.

So what can I, little ol’ me, do to prevent this from happening again next year? Because I DESPERATELY want a Conservative in the White House. I admit I’m late to the game – I was a Lib for the first 33 yrs of my life, but I’ve come to the “dark side” and now truly want to see the next Reagan running the country.

    1) Re-register as an unaffiliated independent. It looks likes a great number of primaries are going to be open primaries next year anyway and I maintain that it is a serious indictment against a so-called two-party system when more than half of voters don’t want to belong to either “major” party. We are almost there already.

    2) Don’t be afraid to vote 3rd party. Don’t stay home. If enough people vote 3rd party, the denominator grows turning what could be a 46-52% win by Obama down to 40-44%, like happened with Clinton in 1992. We blew it in 2008 when 6-7 million southern conservatives stayed home and other “conservatives” actually voted for Obama. He could have defeated McCain with a 43% victory instead of 52% and that would have made all the difference in the world.

    3) Focus on what is going on. One of the ways we keep getting derailed is that we always seem to ignore the opportunity in front of us on the argument that we are wasting bullets that will be needed more on the next opportunity next week or next month or next election. We could kill the Boehner crap sandwich surrender tomorrow if we surged on the House phones, faxes and e-mails tomorrow like we did to kill amnesty in 2006 and 2007.

    Focus on winning. Too many of us accept the BS that losing is winning. No, winning is winning. We keep losing. Let’s start winning.

    Obama winning next year is not the worst thing that could happen. It’s GOP surviving after refusing to run a serious candidate.

    The issue has become why Obama adamantly refuses to show the certificate and why it is crazy to ask the question. What possible argument can be made defending this? THAT is what is crazy. Show the certificate already!

    Correct.

    They are hiding something, or they would have released everything requested. And the “Birther” label is intended to scare away anyone with legitimate credentials that would question his background.

    He has something to hide. The question is what is he hiding. A criminal past? How did he get a passport that allowed him to travel inside Pakistan? What are the details behind his social security application in Connecticut? If he lied on that application, should he be prosecuted for a felony?

    How did he get into Columbia University if he failed out of Occidental? How did he support himself in NYC? Who was the guy he lived with in NYC that he ended up traveling with?

    And all these questions…. for which any answers are being flatly refused….. are about the sitting president of the United States.

    How is this acceptable to anyone???????

    Of course he has something to hide.

    I will continue to contact my representatives to share my displeasure (misery loves company!) and I will do whatever I can to help get the most conservative candidate elected. I will also continue to send money only to conservative candidates, not GOP sponsored RINOs.
    I honestly want to believe that there is a better way and will do my part. I do appreciate you not attacking me but having an honest conversation. Like I said, still kind of a newbie (9 years) to being a conservative but willing to accept that I don’t have all the answers!

    quite possibly “the double-edged sword” of commie/islamunism … throw in “the economy” for the complete triangulation of fire…

    i was just reminded of this…

    When Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone:

    United States — Muslim 1.0%
    Australia — Muslim 1.5%
    Canada — Muslim 1.9%
    China — Muslim 1%-2%
    Italy — Muslim 1.5%
    Norway — Muslim 1.8%

    At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:

    Denmark — Muslim 2%
    Germany — Muslim 3.7%
    United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
    Spain — Muslim 4%
    Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

    From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.

    They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law.

    France — Muslim 8%
    Philippines — Muslim 5%
    Sweden — Muslim 5%
    Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
    The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
    Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

    When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris — car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats ( Amsterdam — Mohammed cartoons).

    Guyana — Muslim 10%
    India — Muslim 13.4%
    Israel — Muslim 16%
    Kenya — Muslim 10%
    Russia — Muslim 10-15%

    After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:

    Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

    At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:

    Bosnia — Muslim 40%
    Chad — Muslim 53.1%
    Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

    From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:

    Albania — Muslim 70%
    Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
    Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
    Sudan — Muslim 70%

    After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:

    Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
    Egypt — Muslim 90%
    Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
    Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
    Iran — Muslim 98%
    Iraq — Muslim 97%
    Jordan — Muslim 92%
    Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
    Pakistan — Muslim 97%
    Palestine — Muslim 99%
    Syria — Muslim 90%
    Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
    Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
    United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

    100% will usher in the peace of “Dar-es-Salaam” — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:

    Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
    Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
    Somalia — Muslim 100%
    Yemen — Muslim 99.9%

    it’s gettin to be a copy and paste lots of places…

    But Ann Coulter said he has shown his birth certificate and she has seen it.

    I am sure she is talking about the COLB which is based on the real birth certificate. If that is true, then there is a real birth certificate which has the same info as the COLB so what difference does it make? We have the info.

    If the COLB info is different than the real birth cert, then the lady that signed the COLB is lying and anybody who saw both documents is lying and committing fraud.

    But apparently, Hawaii only uses the COLB. It’s not some trick that Obama cooked up. It is the valid document. It doesn’t address the fathers citizenship though so isn’t the birth certificate really a moot point? He has shown the COLB which is what all kids that sign up for little league have to show.

    Now was his Father a British citizen and Obamas bar application where he said he never went by another name is another story.

Unless that Fukino lady is lying, he was born in Hawaii and used the same documentation that anybody there would use.

    Its not about the birth certificate because he has the documentation to show he was born in Hawaii. I always thought it was about the type of documentation and Obama was using the COLB to deceive. Not so if thats what everyone uses.

    Its really about the citizenship of his father at the time of his birth, isn’t it? Then whats all this misdirection with the COLB? Even Trump said last night that the COLB is vastly different from the birth certificate. Who cares? I am getting really griped about this.

    @ rightasrain

    This is what I’m talking about regarding the 3rd party option. Latest Gallup poll on party affiliation.

    Democrats 31%
    Republicans 29%
    Independents 38%
    Others 2%

    When I was growing up, almost all voters were either Democrat or Republican. As of November 2004, the breakdown was a tie at 39-40% for each major party. That’s roughly 80% that is down to about 59%.

    A 3rd 2nd party is clearly a viable goal. Trump running independent against a lame RINO and a Hillary-weakened, possibly ineligible Obama could shake things up permanently. That he could even win will really make the campaigns uglier than we can even imagine. I expect both “major” party nominees would focus 90% of their attacks on Trump and hope for the best.

    Pray for it.

    If that poll could be presented as a Venn diagram superimposing Tea Party sympathizers, I would bet that they would overlap with most of the independents and maybe a third to half of the other parties. That, my friend, is a “3rd” party that would be the largest party.

    Bachmann is always stepping on the Tea Party message by presuming to speak for us while attacking Democrats and only Democrats. Yet she is the leader of the informal Tea Party Caucus and could only deliver 25% of them to vote “no” on the last CR vote. She stated on Hannity yesterday that there were only 28 “no” votes in the entire House. She makes great speeches but seems to have no clout even with her very own caucus.

    Should Rand Paul successfully stage a Senate filibuster where the Dems are in control, what excuse would Bachmann have for failing to deliver the deciding “no” votes in the House?

    It’s all kabuki and just as Palin refuses to distance herself from McCain, Bachmann never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity to challenge House leadership. Not ready for primetime. No guts, no glory.

A lot of them sound lame offering the same lame excuses that we hear from Rove, Boehner, and the rest of the RINOs. “Let’s be realistic”. Losers if you ask me. Kudos to Virginia though. He is one who voted “no” for the right reasons.

    I’m really disappointed with this group of Tea Party freshmen. They still don’t get it. It isn’t about tough talk, it’s about how they vote. Apparently, they are going to support the Boehner crap sandwich. One actually stated she was proud of her votes of support.

    Time to dissolve the Tea Party Caucus. Let’s call them what they are: RINO NextGen.

    Hannity asks how far they are willing to go to get the fiscal house in order, are they willing to shut down the government. Nothing but evasions except for Alan West.

    After Obama, no other actual American can be said to be unqualified to hold the office. Obama is the most unqualified person, in every sense of the word, to ever hold the office.

    No one can seriously raise the issue of experience and qualification any longer at least while Obama is in the Oval Office.

    The bar has been lowered to well below the sub-basement…

    . . . one thing he has going for him is that he seems to have the guts to call out issues as he see’s them. How many establishment candidates have done that?

    You might want to check out Sarah Palin’s Facebook page.

    I don’t consider Palin an establishment candidate due to the fact she has been calling out issues, and scaring the hell out of the RINO’s.

    If you keep disavowing everyone the minute they do something you don’t agree with, you are going to be a lonely party of one.

    Holy crap. Million dollar exploratory committees and consultants give Romney John/John’s campaign slogan?

    Did Mitt get Rickrolled or something here?

    Is he on Punk’d?

    Is Jamie Kennedy his chief of staff?

    Embarrassing.
