Writing in the Weekly Standard, conservative Bill Kristol calls Romney FLA fundraiser remarks "arrogant and stupid", wondering if Romney does not understand that among the "47%" are a large number of GOP voters, like seniors and military.

Then Kristol says: "I STILL think it is important for Romney to win in November (unless he steps aside for Ryan/Rubio, and we get the ticket we deserve)"

A Note on Romney

I predicted several days ago that, as events continue to expose Romney as incompetent, that he may start to feel some pressure to withdraw (yes, I DO get tired of being right all the time! )

Is Kristol's remark mere wishful thinking from a leader of the conservatives (who NEVER trusted Romney anyway)?

Or, as the GOP sees its dream of defeating Obama slipping away, is Kristol dropping a HINT???

Is this a whisper that will turn into a roar???

Republicans, conservatives, TPers, Paulistas, libertarians... how many of you want Romney to step aside?

Kristol doesn't speak for anyone but himself. He's a nobody just like everyone over at the NYT.

Krystol expresses opinions which large numbers of Conservatives support. To paint him as some sort of NYTimes insider is not to know who he is.

Sean Hannity told them that the NYT is a left wing propaganda rag. That's all these dopes need to know.

And his father can be reasonably said to have co-founded the neoconservative movement. To depict Kristol as some obscure political hack is a bit naive (well, except for the "political hack" part).

The NYT???

Kristol is the editor of the Weekly Standard. He doesn't work for the NYT!

This piece was written by a leading CONSERVATIVE, for a leading CONSERVATIVE journal.

Trust me, most Dems LIKE having Romney stay in the race (not me though... I've come to the conclusion the guy is unstable)

Liberal arrogance and smugness abounds.

Have we all forgotten how to act like civil and respectful people?

Our country truly has changed; I think things are starting to unravel for us all. And I'm not one to call myself a doomsdayer, but I'm beginning to be quite concerned.
