Romney - Bachmann 2012?
« on: January 05, 2011, 09:52:58 PM »
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney will run for President in 2012 with the support of traditional fiscal conservatives (non tea party voters), foreign policy conservatives, Reagan conservatives, and some moderates. However, Romney is not popular with tea party conservatives or social conservatives. Picking Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) would be a smart political move for Romney. Romney is middle-aged, a male, and although he hails from the midwest, he was a new england governor and businessman. Bachmann is younger, from the midwest, and loved by tea party and social conservatives. My question to all of you is, would a Romney-Bachmann ticket be a good idea in your view?

How about a Bachmann/Romney ticket instead. 


I don't think Romney's ego would allow him to be second.

I would have a very hard time voting for Romney...under any circumstances.  :(

**** NO!

Cain/Bachman sounds good, but I will NOT vote for a state-funded healthcare system supporting Governor any time in my life.

I'm sticking with my prediction, listed below - though I'm not as certain of Palin now as I was two years back. I would prefer it if Romney would drop the support for healthcare, and was more conservative than moderate, but one needs to remember that it is quite uncommon to get an entirely conservative president at all. - And if Obama is on the ticket, we are going to need to pull as many conservative leaning independents and Democrats as possible - since Obama is going to turn this election into the mother of all class-warfare battles.

Any ticket with Romney on it -- no matter how you spin it -- stinks to high heaven.

That said, if that RINO happens to make it on the Repub ticket, I'll have to both hold my nose and cover my eyes as I pull the lever for that pretty boy, as he is once again the lesser of two evils.

Lord Zero is, without question and further qualification, the greater of evils.

Romney's the reason McCain won the nomination when he "stopped campaigning" and held on to his votes.  He was hoping that McCain would win and he'd get the VP slot or a cabinet position.  In my opinion.  It would be difficult to me to not sit out of the vote in that case.  I know you won't find a true fully conservative president anymore, but anyone but that RINO.

I thought it was more like backdoor dealings between McCain and Huckabee intended to push Romney out.

Like Eupher said...I too, would have to hold my nose and still vote for whomever is on the Repub ticket.

To stay home and not vote, is essentially a vote for Obama - or whoever the Dem candidate is.

I won't do that...no matter who the Repub nominee.

I think it's all going to be about bladder control.

The smoke filled room guys will select a candidate they think we would at least piss on if on fire. We won't get a conservative presidential candidate unless we get out (tea party, etc.) and make it understood that that's what we want.

:yeahthat:

He would just be a continuation Obama's domestic policies (especially healthcare), with a little bit more aggressive foreign policy (and even that is uncertain).

Romney?  Jesus, why not just run McCain again if we want to screw ourselves that bad.  I don't think there's ANY GOP candidate that does such a great job of exuding pure phoniness as Mitt.

True, deb, but there is something in his overly-polished voice and manner that has the same 'Used car salesman' effect on me.

Yup. I get almost the same thing with Lord Zero. Glib, slick, polished, fake, phony, and a complete up-and-down RINO. (Zero, of course, ain't the RINO - he's nothing more than a flat-out socialist bent on redistributing wealth and centralizing power within the federal government.)

He's just like the car salesman that walks up to a woman who's looking at cars by herself, all slicked up and a know-it-all, that proceeds to tell the woman what she wants in a car, with no concern or interest in what the woman wants. Been there and have the t-shirt.

An intelligent woman walks away...just as they will from Romney.  :-)

Went to buy a truck 35 years ago. The dealership had a cabover/sleeper that I really wanted. The manager said he was sending his top salesman out to take me for a test drive. Big tittied woman in a micro-mini-skirt came out and started climbing up into the truck...yeah, all smiles and showing it all off. I told the sales gal something like, "I already have one of those at home that I can't afford....I need a damn truck."

I drove back there about an hour later in a new truck, blew the horn and waved at everyone.... :lmao:

I don't think Romney could win, he has a lot of explaining to do as far as Romneycare in Mass. goes, he's flip flopped on too many issues. Right now I'd like to see a ticket that can actually win, and we need a ticket that consists of any of the following, Rubio, Christie, Pawlenty, Thune and DeMint.
