Romney got courtesy call

I 'm a fan of Romney but since Mccain is the Republican nominee Republican must fight this fight together relentlessly.We are all Republican and Independents now and make sure Mccain/Palin win in November and not the innocent looking Party(Democrat) like a scarecrow.I'm sick of the dems too much concern of how other countries view us.Why the heck they too concern about that,it seems they have too much pride for the wrong reason sorry dems we're not all celebrities and the United States of America is not all Hollywood.

Really would have liked to see Romney as the Republican front-runner (hope to see it in 2012) but will support the McCain/Palin ticket for now.

The Transcript of the Courtesy Call.

McCain: Hello Mitt (Translation: Hello Mitt)
Romney: Hello John
McCain: Mitt I’ll keep it short (Translation: I’d rather not talk to you)
Romney: Ok
McCain: I’ve chosen my VP and it’s not you (Translation: The Evangelicals have been breathing down my back and frankly your faith is poison to them)
Romney: I understand
McCain: And I would like to thank you for all your help so far in this campaign (Translation: Sure you were helping raising millions for me but I think it’s best that I just pamper to the chick vote and corner the Alaskan vote and choosing Palin does that).
Romney: Well thank you John.
McCain: Ok then, we should have coffee together when this whole thing is over...(Translation: Oh oh! I forgot those Mormons don’t drink that stuff)
Romney: ........ (silence)
McCain: Sounds like your phone is dropping out so I better go (Translation: Man this is awkward)
Romney: Ok Bye.

I wish I could agree with the Republican Party loyalty rallying cry, but John McCain still hasn't earned my vote. A practical Democrat, and typical politician, his Palin pick is such a pose. She may very well turn out just fine, but her boisterous confidence to me is going to make her a flash in the pan as the public sickens of her pomp, which is probably why the McCain campaign won't let her do interviews and other media events.

In any event, this feels like The Dole Year no matter who McCain picked. (Only McCain lacks Dole's conservatism, humor, good nature, and good judgement). Odds are, looking at the number of Obama donors which is more paramount to dollars since donor=voter, no Republican could win this year. So let's toss up McCain and pretend it's a nod for his good service I guess.

The Palin pick has gotten a lot of response indeed, but I think the fact that McCain could've hammered down the two pressing issues--war and the economy--by selecting Romney but decided to gamble on Palin bodes very poorly for his chances at victory. There is no longer a headsy, sensible reason to vote for McCain. McCain-Romney gave conservatives (sigh) a hope that Mitt would at least be allowed to craft the domestic and ecnomic policies while McCain pursued his foreign policy passions. McCain loves our country, just not enough to leave us with Romney should McCain go down in office--instead he's telling us we get Sarah Palin.

I intend to use this election to either stay home, write in Reagan since I wasn't old enough at that time, maybe write in Romney (as a strike back at McClaim and the Hickabee forces), or, being that I'm in Florida, a battleground state-- t h e battleground state --I may just have to, if the race is looking close here, throw my vote on the Obama pile, heh heh heh.

Face it guys, we've sucked. We had total control of the federal government, then presided over its gluttonous growth to where it is today--the largest it has ever been. We've had our property rights assaulted by the Supreme Court despite us putting 7 of the 9 on the bench! We have this calculated inaction on illegal immigration. We have bailout after bailout of failing companies. Bush has only vetoed two items, all the rest of the spending he just signs away. Getting knocked out of the WH along with being out of the Senate and House will serve us good. The party can start over, which means they'll be principled conservatives again since that's the only time we win elections. New blood will be leading. While Palin and Jindal are poised, perhaps Pawlenty is too. The celebrity names of McCain, Rudy and Fred will be speakers and advocates only, and Romney will be the perfect foil to Obama on TV for four years as the face of the out of power opposotion power, and Mark Twain couldn't fictionalize a character better suited for that role of rebuilding the brand, conceptualizing, proposing, articulating, and advancing practical solutions to present ills and future hardships on the horizon as pragmatism is finally returned to being the base of the Republican Party.

Don't let McCain fool you by pretending he's delivering us the future in naming Palin his VP. Since his campaign won't permit her to do media interviews, hell we know all he'll do with her as VP was keep her tucked away in a back office at the Pentagon and just reel her out for some positive pub, some needed PR when he needs it. We're not going to be missing anyting if McCain's not President. What's he gonna do? He talked of reshaping the Republican Party. Uh, well looking at his record not his Reagan painted rhetoric, it's clear he'd reshape us into the Democrats since that's where he went so often on McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, McCain-Lieberman and amnesty for illegals that we the people denied the government as a whole from granting. We need to hit rock bottom before we can have the liberation of a true reconstruction.

Nice Rex.

Alternate translation for line 5: (By the way I agreee with my mom. i really can't stand Mormons either)

Yeah, I'm afraid I'm sitting this election out too. I also have decided not to call myself a Republican any longer. ("Moderate" sounds nice.) I am tired of voting for the "best available" candidate. Maybe we need campaign reform? We need something (maybe just to grow up as a nation and be bigger people) when the best and the brightest are overlooked because of sexism, racism, and bigotry...

I never was too excited about anyone that ran this year, including Romney. Romney's a bit over-polished. However, Romney would have been the best commander-in-chief. He's twice the brains and experience as anyone running. And, based on the Mormons I know, his Mormonism is a plus to me, not a negative. I think this election was a learning experience for Romney....

McCain will lose without Romney
