   Maybe we can get Eric Holder and Van Jones to publicly endorse Romney.

   Looks like both of the anointed “only two serious candidates” are crashing and burning under the weight of being Democrats. Maybe Cain will take this running away.

   If the GOP wants to win next year with a mandate, they better get their big guns behind Cain soon. Otherwise, it will be Operation Counterweight and they go down the drain with their Democratic mothership.

   It’s beginning to look like it will cost the Rovian Progressives a billion dollars during the primaries alone just to defeat Cain. This could turn into a $4 billion election, the price of selling cancer.

   In all liklihood, the next POTUS will be a big government, big spending, status-quo, career politician.

   When people like Ron Paul talk about the perils of government and the need to reduce its function to the bare minimum, he gets labelled as a nut-job or a 2nd tier candidate, outside the realm of serious contenders etc.

   Even the right side of the spectrum does it, as many on our side claim to want government out of their lives but continue to prop up Rick Perry and Mitt Romney. Even Hermain Cain will be no different than those two.

   People want a drastic change in the size and power that government holds, but when they are given the opportunity to realize it, they get scared and continue to select the candidates they always have in the past. Hence, those that worked with the likes of Romney find their services to be in demand by every politician in the field who wants similar success as the last guy.

   If you aren’t going to vote for Paul or a similar candidate who talks about the need to reduce the size of government signifigantly, then you will forever have the merry-go-round of political johns and their advisors, acting as power brokers that collectively treat their constituents like they would a $20-per-session meth hooker standing on the corner of some abandoned Detroit neighbourhood (no offense Doug – sorry about the Detroit dig).

   Oh get over it folks. It should be no surprise the WH talked to the folks in Mass as it’s only prudent to talk to those who’ve had some experience putting together something like Obamacare.

   Romneycare may be a MASS debacle in the making — but it’s also true that the Dems and bureaucrats have had several years to make a complete mess of whatever (little) good might have been in the plan. Romney was naive in thinking what was passed would remain static and not drift rapidly to the left.

   Yes, I wish Romney would repudiate Romneycare, especially the money hog that it has become. Like many RINOs, I’m not sure he’s figured out the leftward drift of his plan as a mistake. It has provided one benefit, there’s been a MASS exodus of health care talent to other states…

    Whatever the problem is, Ron Paul is never the answer.

    This man can not be our nominee. Can NOT. He belongs to the same party as Obama, the Progressive party. Go get ‘im, Herman!!!

    Please, please, please, Herman, bring this up and sink Romney early before he gets any more money tossed behind him.

    @AmericanGirl30:
    He’s not the conservative candidate. He’s the Party/media candidate. The MSM will do their best to shove him down our throats and convince conservatives who aren’t paying attention, and independents who refuse to vote for Obama again, that Romney is the only viable Republican candidate.

    Rombama will stick to his pat response that RomneyCare was right for MA but not for the US. The tenth amendment explanation. Of course, he only came up with that lately. It never occurred to him in 2008.

    Christie shills for Romney
    It’s “completely intellectually dishonest” to compare RomneyCare to ObamaCare”

    That’s the lowlight from this pitiful spectacle, in which a guy who’s famous for uttering hard truths whether or not people want to hear them endorses a guy who’s famous for telling people whatever they want to hear to win votes. (See Ben Smith’s post today for a vivid illustration of the latter.) In one sense, it’s a no-brainer: Christie’s a centrist and Romney’s the great centrist hope, so the endorsement was a fait accompli. But then, Christie’s no ordinary centrist. Along with Ryan and Mitch Daniels, he’s one of the GOP’s three warriors on the all-important subject of entitlement reform. And here he is boosting a guy whose chief line of attack against Rick Perry is … demagoging him for being too hardline on entitlement reform. Disgraceful. And insofar as Romney’s opportunistic timidity on entitlements presages timidity on cutting federal spending generally — take two minutes to read this Peter Suderman post from last week to see why — it’s a betrayal of Christie’s budget-slashing ethos.
    But as I say, this was the lowlight:

    Regulus, you beat me to it. Ron Paul is a nut job. When he makes statements that Iran should have nuclear weapons, he can’t be labeled anything but “nut job”. Especially after today’s news about terrorists.

    He’s popular because the State Run Media says he’s popular. He’s a Dem in RINO clothing.

    Ron Paul wants to focus on making America strong, and more importantly, creating the environment where the individual American citizen can be free to pursue his own best interest. The rest of the candidates want the status quo to continue, which means that America will head toward insolvency. An insolvent America won’t be able to prevent Iran from doing anything, so what you perceive as necessary strategy in preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon is only sustainable short-term.
