I was asking myself the same question yesterday. Lol. Sadly Conservatives who are not in touch with reality still think he is one of them. (I'm a fiscal Conservative - former Mass resident who would never vote for Romney, nor Obama btw)
Since when is "moderate" a bad word? Why do the folks at CPAC support extremism and nutjobs? -- that's what I'd like to know.
Moderate isn't a bad word necessarily, but in the context of describing Romoney, that would be an oxymoron, because he was everywhere, really everywhere on nearly all issues he was asked about.
We know definitions of conservative, liberal and moderate, Romoney could be described as fitting all three.
“Mama Grizzly” Sarah Palin served up red meat at the Conservative Political Action Conference Saturday, lambasting President Obama and the “mainstream media,” sneering at efforts to “rebrand” the Republican Party, and telling political “architects” like Texan Karl Rove to “go back to the Lone Star State and put their name on the ballot.”
No, if you had listened and paid attention to both she and Romney you would realize they have no attention of continuing in politics. You do have to understand and I think you are smart enough to figure it out, if you think about it: totally disappearing, after 6 years of campaigning plus being the governor isn't likely. The transformation from public life to private does take time. I doubt you will hear much from him in the future... Did Clinton just go away? Of course not...About the only one that did disappear pretty much was Dole. Most politicians have to ease out slowly..Carter didn't just go away either. Even Nixon, after the smoke cleared was a regular speaker at Republican events.
Yup. Mitt isn't ever going to disappear from politics for as long as he carries any party credibility. No ex-President or candidate ever does, as long as they can raise some money and have any influence.
Even Bob Dole didn't disappear. He was still quietly advising his party for a long time after his defeat.
Blame in on the media. It's always a convenient whipping horse, isn't it?
The same thing was said about Romney, Ryan, Santorum, Gingrich- all of them. They either got too much attention, or not enough attention, or were lied about, or got edited, or were asked trick questions, or got bad makeup jobs- whatever.
You can always whip that tired old horse from top to bottom and all sides, can't you? is your whipping arm sore yet?

I'm surprised nobody has bashed Sara Palin yet. She was good. Romney has a right to speak and he did.
I know one thing, I am a registered Republican and I think that if the party doesn't embrace moderates the Democrats will win, win, and win some more.
It seems as though the general electorate has shifted a bit to the left. We live in a rapidly changing nation. One can not be a stick in the mud and expect to go anywhere.

You want the GOP to embrace moderates by giving a platform to crazies like Palin?
