The electability myth of Mitt Romney

The media is pushing the idea that Mitt Romney is electable. The truth is, he only won one election and chose to not run again because of his low approval ratings. His actions at Bain Capital will be used to destroy him in a general election. The truth is, Romney is not electable.

Mitt Romney was a moderate governor in Massachusetts with an unimpressive record of governance, who left office with an approval rating in the thirties, and whose signature achievement was a Hurricane Katrina style disaster for the state. Since that’s the case, it’s fair to ask what a Republican who’s not conservative and can’t even carry his own state brings to the table for GOP primary voters. The answer is always the same; Mitt Romney is supposed to be “the most electable” candidate. This is a baffling argument because many people just seem to assume it’s true, despite the plethora of evidence to the contrary.

1) People just don’t like Mitt Romney: The entire GOP primary process so far has consisted of Republican voters desperately trying to find an alternative to Mitt Romney. Doesn’t it say something that GOP primary voters have, at one time or another, preferred Donald Trump, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, and now even Ron Paul (In Iowa) to Mitt Romney?

To some people, this is a plus. They think that if conservatives don’t like Mitt Romney, that means moderates will like him. This misunderstands how the process of attracting independent voters works in a presidential race. While it’s true the swayable moderates don’t want to support a candidate they view as an extremist, they also don’t just automatically gravitate towards the most “moderate” candidate. To the contrary, independent voters tend to be moved by the excitement of the candidate’s base (See John McCain vs. Barack Obama for an example of how this works). This is how a very conservative candidate like Ronald Reagan could win landslide victories. He avoided being labeled an extremist as Goldwater was, yet his supporters were incredibly enthusiastic and moderates responded to it.

Mitt Romney will be the most Left wing Republican ever to run since the 1900’s.

The twenty most annoying liberals of the past year

For me Mike Bloomberg should be number 1.  Check out who is number 17!

hat tip – The Osprey

by John Hawkins

Honorable Mentions: Al Franken, Al Gore, Al Sharpton, Anthony Weiner, Arianna Huffington, Bill Clinton, Bill Maher, Bob Beckel, Charles Rangel, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Dylan Ratigan, Eric Holder, Ezra Klein, Geraldo, Hillary Clinton, Howard Dean, James Cameron, James Clyburn, John Edwards, Jesse Jackson, Jimmy Carter, John Conyers, John Kerry, John Lewis, Kathy Griffin, Lawrence O’Donnell, Markos Moulitsas Zúñiga, Matthew Ygliesias, Maxine Waters, Michael Moore, Mike Malloy, Rachel Maddow, Roger Ebert, Roseanne Barr

20) Joe Biden: Everybody knows how goofy Ol’ Say Anything, Do Anything Joe is! He might tell a dirty joke to a roomful of school children! He might stick a squirrel down his pants! Oh, by the way: He’s Vice-President and he’s supposed to be the “gravitas” who helps keep President Empty Suit from getting too far out of whack. Yeah, that worked out great, didn’t it?

Defining quote: As you probably know, some American politicians and American journalists refer to Washington, DC as the “capital of the free world. But it seems to me that this great city (Brussels), which boasts 1,000 years of history and which serves as the capital of Belgium, the home of the European Union, and the headquarters for NATO, this city has its own legitimate claim to that title. — Joe Biden

19) Andrew Sullivan: Sully’s still a good writer, but he’s becoming an increasingly unhinged joke. Over time, he’s become less of a “serious person” and more of a jokey “I hope he gets the help he needs” wackadoodle — particularly, when it comes to Sarah Palin.

Defining quote: The medical term for Down Syndrome is Trisomy-21 or Trisomy-g. It is often shortened in medical slang to Tri-g. Is it not perfectly possible that the very name given to this poor child, being reared by Bristol, is another form of mockery of his condition, along with the “retarded baby” tag? And does the way in which this poor child was hauled around the country on a book tour, being dragged out in front of flash photographs in the middle of the night, barely clothed, suggest someone who actually cares for children with special needs, or rather sees them as a way to keep the spotlight on her? — Andrew Sullivan

18) Michael Bloomberg: New York’s chief nanny spent $100 million of his own money so he could continue to systematically ruin the greatest city in the world with his mismanagement a little longer. Whether it’s trampling on the graves of the people who died on 9/11 by supporting the Ground Zero Mosque, micromanaging what everyone eats, or driving the wealthy out of the city with exorbitant taxes, Bloomberg will do whatever it takes to run New York right into the ground.

Defining quote: If I had to guess 25 cents, this would be exactly that. Homegrown, or maybe a mentally deranged person, or somebody with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health care bill or something. It could be anything. — Michael Bloomberg on Faisal Shahzad’s carbombing attempt in New York

17) Charles Johnson: Know what irony is? It’s a guy who used to run the premier anti-radical Islam blog on the internet going so far in the other direction that he’s supporting the Ground Zero Mosque. If you take bubbling anger and broken dreams, then add betrayal and a ponytail, you have Charles Johnson.

Defining quote: It’s one thing to evolve in your thinking. It’s another thing to become the reviled enemy of that which defines you. His sole purpose is to destroy people. I can’t relate to it. I don’t understand it. We can all sit here and scratch our heads and say, “Is he an operative? Is he being paid or what happened?” Who cares? He’s a destructive force.

…He adds nothing to the dialogue. He adds nothing to the discourse. He seeks solely to destroy the most effective voices on the Right. So to me, he’s lower than even a Kos and I don’t think the left trusts him either because he’s such a traitor. To say that he’s abandoned his principles is actually giving him too much credit. He now reviles the thing that he once was. You explain it. — Pamela Geller

16) Joy Behar: Behar’s an extremely nasty person, which she tries to excuse by claiming she’s a “comedian.” You have to put that word in quotes because she’s not actually funny and you wouldn’t know she is a comedian unless someone told you.

Defining quote: Those flowers were picked by illegal immigrants. And they’re not voting for you, b*tch. — Joy Behar on Sharron Angle

[…]

14) Chris Matthews: Chris Matthews has a television show despite terrible ratings and the fact that almost everyone hates him. I’m not sure whether a deal with the devil, blackmail, or God help us all, sexual favors for MSNBC executives best explains how someone like Matthews can stay on the air.

Defining Quote: I was trying to think about who (Obama) was tonight. It’s interesting: he is post-racial, by all appearances. I forgot he was black tonight for an hour. — Chris Matthews

13) Meghan McCain: She’s the single dumbest person writing political commentary in America today. Hearing Meghan McCain talk makes you wish she’d found a more productive way to trade on her daddy’s money and name — like Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian.

Defining Quote: See, Meghan McCain wants to be looked up to and admired as a leader. She even claims to be continuing her “one woman revolution (if you will).” …She can’t seem to fathom that she has no leadership qualities whatsoever, nor any original thoughts of her own, so she instead invents a persecution complex in order to explain why she isn’t Sarah Palin. She explains it thusly: she’s too “edgy.” Meanwhile, her edginess is about as edgy as a spoon. She’s blonde! And has tattoos! And a gay friend! Granted, he’s her hairdresser, but still. Shut up, H8Rs! No one is shutting Meghan McCain out; she is choosing to nail herself to a cross. — Lori Ziganto

[…]

10) Paul Krugman: You could replace every column he wrote in the last year with the words “I blame the Republicans” and “We need to go a lot further into debt” and you wouldn’t miss a thing.

Defining Quote: In the end, I’d argue, what must happen is an effective default on a significant part of debt, one way or another. The default could be implicit, via a period of moderate inflation that reduces the real burden of debt; that’s how World War II cured the depression. — Paul Krugman

9) Janet Napolitano: She’s picked up the nickname “Big Sis,” but given her performance, “Sergeant Schultz” might be more appropriate. Whether you’re an illegal alien crossing the border into Arizona or a terrorist trying to get on a plane, she knows nothing, nothing!

Defining Quote: What I say to the American people is that… thousands of people are working 24/7, 364 days a year to keep the American people safe. — Janet Napolitano

8) Helen Thomas: The grizzled, old liberal anti-Semite finally got too nasty about “ze Jews” and is no longer allowed to waste space at the White House press gaggle. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer bridge troll.

Defining Quote: We are owned by propagandists against the Arabs. There’s no question about that. Congress, the White House, and Hollywood, Wall Street, are owned by the Zionists. No question in my opinion. They put their money where their mouth is…We’re being pushed into a wrong direction in every way. — Helen Thomas

The One™ should apologize to America

by Mojambo ( 183 Comments › )
Filed under Barack Obama at October 12th, 2010 - 9:00 pm

Actually I think that the voters who voted for this incompetent charlatan ought to apologize to those of us who had the common sense to see through that neophyte Marxist and refused to buy into the whole “Hopey McChange'” garbage. Apologies are also due to our good friends overseas who have been shown the back of the hand by this foolish administration and by the overrated Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (who talked a good game during the primaries) – the United Kingdom, Colombia, Honduras, Israel, Poland, Czech Republic, South Korea and India.  Obama will never admit to a mistake even in private because his over inflated vision of himself does not allow for any human weaknesses.

by John Hawkins

Barack Obama is a petty little man whose grandiose sense of self importance has always far outstripped his abilities and accomplishments. Putting a man such as that in the most important job on the planet is like taking a five year old off an airplane ride at a carnival and putting him at the control of a jet airplane in mid-flight.

Obama, who was so far over his head that he couldn’t see the surface from day one, took over the country at a crucial time and then boldly strode forth and made the situation dramatically worse. His whole presidency, from start to finish, has been the living embodiment of that famous Talleyrand quote:

They have learned nothing and forgotten nothing.The rest of America, however, has learned quite a bit about Obama, which is why his approval rating has fallen like a stockbroker on Black Friday. At this point, not only should Barack Obama change course, he should apologize for what he’s done wrong:

1) For lying to the American people: Calling a politician a liar is a bit like accusing a fish of being fond of water, but even amongst politicians, Barack Obama is a particularly hamfisted and prolific liar. Obama’s strategy is simple: He promises everything to everybody and then points the finger elsewhere when people are inevitably disappointed. This has led to some jaw dropping whoppers than would even make Bill Clinton say, “Wow, that guy is a shameless liar.”
[…]

2) For the nasty class warfare: Barack Obama must be unfamiliar with the seven deadly sins because never before has an administration so openly advocated envy. Successful Americans have been treated like villains and whole industries have been slimed for no other reason than it’s politically convenient. Obama supporter Bill Maher perfectly captured the attitude when he wrote,
[…]

3) For Obamacare: Everybody in D.C., Barack Obama included, knew the American people didn’t want Obamacare. The polls showed that they hated it. Scott Brown won “Ted Kennedy’s seat” by promising to vote against health care reform. There were angry townhalls, Tea Parties, and tens of millions of phone calls and emails spurred by that legislation.
[…]

4) For putting our children so deep into debt: Barack Obama’s stimulus plan cost more than the race to the moon, the Louisiana Purchase, and the Marshall Plan — in real dollars — and it did nothing for the economy. Obamacare is a massive new entitlement program that we cannot afford. His 10 year budget? It will leave America with “more debt than has been accumulated by all previous Presidents in American history combined.”

As he did all that, Obama was in public saying things like this,

I refuse to leave our children with a debt they cannot repay, and that means taking responsibility right now, in this administration, for getting our spending under control.

Have you no shame, Barack Obama?
