Hatch: Romney ‘One of the Few’ Who Can Turn the Country Around

"He's got the economic wherewithal to help the country through these tough economic times. Plus, he's gutsy."

I have a great deal of respect for Sen. Hatch and I will support whoever the GOP candidate is. I like his props for Gov. Barbour, who is a good man.

But I am not sold on Romney as being the panacea for our party, respectfully…in terms of being POTUS. In the economic sphere, no doubt, he could be of assistance.

Robert   March 5th, 2010 - 1:18 pm

Romney the RINO 2012!

Romney care for all!

If the Pubs nominate this amoral political oppurtunist, I will vote third party. The Republican leadership should take heed, us tea party type folks have had enough, and we mean business.
Stop with the RINOs already.

He’s a hard working American. Every person who has every worked for him has spoken very highly of his integrity and intelligence. His dad was a hard working American too. He’s not amoral or a RINO. He strongly support State’s Rights, appointing conservative judges, and a fiscally responsible government. The Demos in Massachusetts feared him so much they changed the laws so he couldn’t appoint a Republican Senator should John Kerry had won the 2004 election. As Governor, he held them accountable and set the ship straight – just think how bad fiscally that State would have been in during this national financial crisis if he had not been their governor?

freedom rocks   March 5th, 2010 - 3:52 pm

I wasn’t sure about Romney, until Hatch endorsed him. Note to self, no more votes for Harvard educated pols, no more votes for republican candidates endorsed by rinos. Zero.

NOQTR4TR8RS   March 5th, 2010 - 3:55 pm

As Bill stated, if Romney is the GOP candidate for POTUS, I will vote 3rd party, or write-in.

Commerce secretary, or something along those lines? Possibly. But POTUS?
Absolutely and unequivocally, NO.

Shay   March 5th, 2010 - 4:01 pm

@ bill. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Romney is not amoral. He is successful because he has used moral principles in all aspects of his life, including being extremely fiscally responsible. It is people like you who discredit the normal tea party people and make them look like blubbering right-wing idiots who can’t do anything more than aim a gun. No one on this forum takes you seriously. I think Mitt Romney would make a great President, mainly because if you do any research on him, and aren’t a religious bigot, you realize he is a great guy who surrounds himself with respectable, successful people. I will vote for him when the time comes.

The American Taliban doesn’t have the guts to be truthful about it but they will never vote for a Mormon. Just read all the BS excuses so far: “He’s a RINO, an opportunist.” No. You mean, he’s a MORMON! Just like you lie about Obama not being a citizen, or a he’s a socialist. No. You mean he’s Black (or whatever you call black people when you think you’re around your fellow racists).

I suggest you just go ahead and get your ideal candidate, David Duke. I’m sure you could get behind him.

The true political spectrum is not democrat-republican.

It is collective vs individual.

One extreme is the mythical Borg, the other a lone prospector wandering the desert freely, alone, unfettered and happy.

Therefore, we start at the Borg, move a notch away to where we find the Global Socialists, almost as imaginary as the Borg, total losers dreamers and failures.

Then the next notch are the Stalinist type commies, and all the other types of Fascism, I.E. Nazis (National Socialists), The Klan, Islam, Chi-Coms, Pol Pot Castro,etc, and the current Administration.

Then the Democrat Party the Republican Party Leadership and the European type socialists.

Then the Republican Party grass roots.

Further off from totalitarianism heaven, we find the Libertarians(Capital L) and then libertarians (Small l).

After that is a huge empty space before we find Jeffersonion style Democracy, which no longer exists to my knowledge, anywhere in the world. Yet further are the true Anarchists, the lone wolves, wanderers, prospectors, adventurers and yes, sometimes crazies.

Anarchists are not those Marxist idiots dressed in Black at all the fashionable riots, they are just Borg Wannabees.

In my opinion, Romney is just three notches off the Borg.

In the Statist/Collectivist versus Individualist scale, he’s pretty hard over to the Statist side.

I want nothing to do with him.

All you wise crackin’ dolts calling Romney a RINO need to do your homework. Governing as a Republican in Massachusetts takes a unique type of skill, something those living outside of Mass. obviously fail to appreciate. I’ll put it to you this way: there’s a reason the media pushed McCain on us as the Republican nominee. If it were Romney, he would’ve eaten Mr. Hopeandchange’s lunch. He is a serious threat, and would make an excellent executive; which is why the Soros backed media will try to destroy him. He knows how to run a business, and can run economic circles around Obama The Illiterate. If you want the slow learner to be a one term President, which he apparently wants to be, then you better hope Romney gets the nomination because if anyone else does, we’re screwed.

Sai Chai   March 5th, 2010 - 6:45 pm

Yes, a career politician of the RINO persuasion shilling for another career politician of the RINO persuasion. Nope, if the Dems win the next presidential election (if there is one), it will because the idiotic, heads-in-the-sand Republicans have not figured out that Americans want a true conservative -and one who doesn’t lie and change his votes and his values as often as he changes his tie.

Mike   March 5th, 2010 - 7:17 pm

From ‘one’ Mormon to ‘another’ Hatch’s comments are hopefully NOT biased in any way. ;)

I personally like Mitt Romney and I imagine in most of the public’s eye he’s perceived as a likable kind of guy in his demeanor, as well as having an enormous amount of business savvy too. With his noted ability to accomplish things while he was in office in turning things around for the better both financially and economically, he would be well qualified to serve as President in my opinion.

BUT!… the thing that really makes me a little nervous and wary about Mitt Romney is his past “waffling” on issues, especially on conservative issues, and I honestly think that Mitt Romney “flip-flopped” many times just to have a better opportunity to get “elected”, and not necessarily because he finally ’saw the light’.. Politicians who say or do anything just to get elected (just look at Barack Hussein Obama) it is getting exceedingly “tiresome” in the eyes of the American people and more and more Americans are simply fed up and WON’T PUT UP WITH IT ANY LONGER!!!!

Arnold Schwarzenegger, as an example, came in to the California Governor’s race with an enormous amount of celebrity fame and notoriety as well as a certain “charisma” and he talked a good talk about turning California around toward better days and greater economic prosperity. But after getting elected it soon became apparent that Arnold didn’t have the foggiest on what he was doing or the slightest idea how to fix, let alone run, the eighth largest economy in the entire world i.e. the State of California. As a consequence, and after only 7 years of his being in office, California now stands on the precipice of “liquidation” (bankruptcy) – all thanks to AHNOLD!

I made the point to make this one: Just because a person has “charisma” or “good looks” or ‘celebrity’ status or can ‘talk’ the ‘talk’ DOESN’T necessarily mean that that person could come in and ultimately be assured to turn the United States of America around toward economic prosperity once again. Arnold Schwarzenegger did JUST THE OPPOSITE with California and I for one can’t wait until he’s gone – hopefully back to his native Austria – and then stay there indefinitely. ;) He’s got a likable personality and all and I don’t have anything against him personally except for the fact that he’s a “lousy” politician (and a bad actor) and who appears to have been “in it” just for the notoriety i.e. to be in the “spotlight” once again; as his acting career fades into the sunset out of sight, out of mind. And what has California achieved out of the whole thing?? >> BANKRUPTCY!! and little else unfortunately. All thanks to “RINO” Arnold Schwarzenegger’s incompetency as Governor.

A person HAS to do more than just talk a good talk. They also need to “walk” the “walk” and to put the American people ‘ahead’ of their own ambitions of ascendancy toward the Presidency in 2012 or whenever. And believe you me, the American people are getting better and better at recognizing the sheep from the ‘goats’ and Willard Mitt Romney is NO exception to the rule. He HAS to prove himself both to the Republican Party and to the American people as a whole, that his conservative principles are “here to stay” (not gone tomorrow) and that he won’t “flip-flop” on those same conservative principles or in his moral character and his currently ethical behavior(s) once in office if he gets elected. If Romney can convince the Tea Party crowd and gain the majority of Independents to his side and garner their favor, then I have little doubt that Mitt Romney will almost assuredly be elected the next President of these United States in 2012.. although DEPENDING “substantially” on who he eventually would pick for his V.P. running mate of course. Sarah Palin would be a shoe-in also, if you ask me. She’s got a HUGE following, she’s conservative to the “bone”, and she’s actually got much more than just good looks going for her as well. ;) In other words, she’s quite smart in her own right and she has the capability to get things done in a timely, effective manner. And she would have the audacity and tenacity to finally help put Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in his place once and for all. Unlike Barack “tip toe through the tulips” Obama has done… and his VP Joe “gaffe a minute” Biden. PATHETIC!!

‘ROMNEYCARE IN NAME ONLY’

Okay someone needs to educate those that blame Romney for what is now called RomneyCare. For your information, that was a business friendly, non-public option, non ObamaCare plan. The only down fall at the time that he designed it was the mandating people to get insurance. But the history is that the Dems had a plan for Universal Healthcare and they had the number to pass it and they were going to pass it. Romney came up with something to hold back the destruction of the health care sector and economy. Yes it wasn’t the best, it should have had to be done and Romney said it at the time but it stopped the Democrats from starting a Universal health Care that would have destroyed the system.

It wasn’t even that costly, at 1% of the Budget, that was until he left office and then a Democrat Governor, with a Democrat Legislature went in and started changing the rule, regulating the medical industry more and that is when the costs went up, then to push off the blame, the Dems started blaming the author of the bill and those that didn’t know better took it and run.

That is why people have a large problem with ‘RomneyCare,’ it is out of ignorance spread by the Democrats in that state. So let’s educate ourselves. I, myself, am not sure on Romney yet, but I do know he is the best choice we have right now but it is too early to pick candidates.

Tim   March 5th, 2010 - 7:48 pm

I’ll say it again, the liberal media and the elite republican establishment and fox news (minus Beck & Hannity) will push whomever the next strongest candidate to Palin is and right now that person is Romney. It’s already happening. And for one single reason to stop Sarah Palin. Things have changed since Palin has come on the scene and they’ll do anything possible to stop her.

@ fastfacts

“It wasn’t even that costly, at 1% of the Budget, that was until he left office and then a Democrat Governor, with a Democrat Legislature went in and started changing the rule, regulating the medical industry more and that is when the costs went up, then to push off the blame, the Dems started blaming the author of the bill and those that didn’t know better took it and run.”

Of course it’s not costly, when you underfund the program, and pass the debt on to the next administration,or to future generations of businesses and taxpayers. Then it looks like your successor is responsible. And that exactly what Romney did. A summary is provided here, from a conservative source, not from “ignorance spread by Democrats.”
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=18322
That is not to say that Deval Patrick is not part of the problem, because he most certainly is. But to proclaim that Romney balanced the budget on this debacle, and to imply that he handed over a well oiled, market-driven machine is demonstrably false. Romney Care is entitlement. It is regulation. It is rationing. It is socialized medicine. Like Obama, Deval inherited a mess and instead of fixing it, he’s making it worse. Evidently, that’s the natural order of things these days.

The result of these blue state, cradle to grave, nanny state, socialist programs is increased cost, loss of freedom, insane bureaucracy, more political corruption, and unsustainable debt. It matters not if a Republican does it, or a Democrat. The result is the same. So, which state holds the distinction of having the highest state debt? That’s right. MASSACHUSETTS.
http://www.mainstreet.com/slideshow/moneyinvesting/credit/debt/most-debt-ridden-states-america
Let me guess, Romney supporters, it’s got nothing to do with Romney Care, right?

“That is why people have a large problem with ‘RomneyCare,’ it is out of ignorance spread by the Democrats in that state.”

I have a problem with Romney Care, but I assure you, it is not out of ignorance spread by the Massachusetts Democrats. Having lived, worked and operated a business in and around Massachusetts since the early 1990’s, I am not clueless when it comes to these things. I don’t have a problem with it because I need to know more about it. I have a problem with it because it is socialism, and SOCIALISM DOES NOT WORK.

If you support Romney Care, and want Romney to be the GOP candidate for President, and many people here do, that’s fine. If you’re not crazy about socialized medicine, but will vote “the lesser of evils” and choose Romney because you’re horrified at the prospect of four more years of Obama, that’s fine too. But let’s not BS one another about what Romney’s record is, or about what socialism is.

Dont Trust this Guy   March 5th, 2010 - 10:16 pm

Dont you guys remember during the elections?… Mitt pushed through a health care system very much like obamas but in his own state, even down to huge fines for people that opted not to purchase Romneys socialist health insurance, Romney was bragging about how great it was during the elections and how the rest of the country could bennifit from it, He was going to push the same crap socialist health system if he got elected.

“Economic wherewithal?” Does Hatch mean that Romney is going to personally bail out the country with his own money? Or does he mean Romney understands economics?

Keep in mind that this is one Mormon endorsing another. I would like Romney better if he hadn’t said his religion would NOT affect his decision making. If that is true, he is not a man of integrity. If you have faith, it better darn well affect what you think and believe and do.

I can’t agree with most of you….hmmmm you must be Democrats if you don’t like Romney. Democrats fear Romney big time. They voted for J.McCain just to keep Romney from getting elected. Dems knew they could beat McCain….but knew if Romney got in he would wipe some b#tts in congress, and country. I took notes, watched debates, and interviews. Romney would have cleaned house and Dems knew it. Romney isn’t running around on his wife and family, has a great record in government, and KNOWS HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS. Watch how he votes……watch how all of them vote……take NOTES if your memory is failing you. Don’t just HOPE for the best…..if you do…then you get OBAMAnations.

DITTO! You people who vote for a Republican simply because he’s a Republican please take another look. First figure out if you’re a “conservative” or if you’re just voting Republican because you’re *assuming* their candidate is a conservative. As a Tea Party activist, I hope you will think like an independant. Romney would be a paler shade of Obama in the White House, and we will still be headed down the road to more spending, less fiscal and personal responsibility and more Euro style socialism. Is that what you really want? Think first, read up on Romney and other candidates, THEN vote. Don’t vote first and regret your vote later, like the Obama-ites.

truth be told   March 6th, 2010 - 1:41 pm

Romney was the key backer in getting Scott Brown, 41st GOP Senat vote, elected.
On Thursday, Brown announced his first piece of legislation- an $80 billion payroll tax cut. “The Immediate Tax Relief for America’s Workers Act” targets mostly working class Americans, those employees making up to $200,000.00, with a temporary tax cut that would, according to data released from Brown’s office, “…save the average worker about $100.00 a month for a total of at least $500.00 for individuals and $1,000.00 for working couples. Families could immediately use their returned tax dollars to provide for their families and put back into the struggling economy to spur job creation.”
It’s a start, Scott!…Romney/DeMint 2012

MITT'S OUR MAN   March 6th, 2010 - 7:14 pm

All you have to do is LOOK at Mitt Romney and you know he is LIGHT YEARS ahead of the rest of the pack. Use your brain, if you have one, and VOTE FOR SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS HOW TO GET THINGS DONE… and he will not LIE, CHEAT & STEAL, the way the Current “ilk” in the WH are doing!

What do we care if he’s a Mormon or not? He’s got ETHICS & STANDARDS & THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE AT HEART. More than you can say for ANY of the current or recent politicians in D.C.

tommyd   March 7th, 2010 - 1:47 pm

Those of you that say no to Romney, then just who do you propose? Palin?

You better open your eyes if that is so. I would vote for a ticket with her as V.P. as I think she would be GREAT in that role but if you are truthful to yourself you know she is not ready to be Potus. Granted she is a dynamic personality and can connect to a crowd, but so did teleprompter Jesus…
Was Plain ready to be Potus in 2008? no. well tell me what has changed to make her so now??

not a darn thing has changed.. nothing that matters as far as assuming the job of Potus..

IMO if it were not for the slime ball tactics of McCain and Huckelberry during the primaries Romney could have very well taken the GOP primaries and defeated the clown that now sits in the oval office. Yeah many of you cryin now are the same morons that gave us back stabbin McCain last time around.. How’d that work out for ya…

Get over your anti Mormon bias, what you think he’s gonna make us all join up with LDS??? get a life …better yet get a brain.

@ kay
“…you must be Democrats if you don’t like Romney.”
Most assuredly, no. I don’t like Romney primarily for two reasons:
1. Like Democrats, he is anti-Constitutionalist when it comes to the Second Amendment.
2. Like Democrats, he supports socialism in the form of socialized health care.
I would respectfully assert that if you agree with Governor Romney on these two issues, then you are closer to being a Democrat than I am.

NOQTR4TR8RS   March 7th, 2010 - 8:59 pm

@ MITT’S OUR MAN,

“All you have to do is LOOK at Mitt Romney and you know he is LIGHT YEARS ahead of the rest of the pack.”
I guess that would depend on who is in “the pack”.

“Use your brain, if you have one,…”
I do, I have, and I will.

“…and VOTE FOR SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS HOW TO GET THINGS DONE…”
Only if I support what he or she intends to “get done”. If the intent is to undermine the Constitution, or disregard the founding principles, then I, (we?), certainly don’t want that person to be in a posityion to, “get things done”, correct?

“…and he will not LIE, CHEAT & STEAL…”
How charmingly optimistic of you.

‘What do we care if he’s a Mormon or not?”
I couldn’t care less.

“He’s got ETHICS & STANDARDS & THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE AT HEART.”
That doesn’t mean a thing if he does not support and defend the Constitution of the United States, the founding principles of individual responsibility and personal liberty, and sound economic, domestic, and foreign policies.

NOQTR4TR8RS   March 7th, 2010 - 9:24 pm

@ tommyd

“Those of you that say no to Romney, then just who do you propose? Palin?”
No. If the election were held today, I would support Ron Paul. I believe Pat Buchanan mike make a great President. I am eager to know more about Senator DeMint and some other potential candidates I’ve heard discussed here on Breitbart and elsewhere. In my opinion however, neither Palin nor Romney will suffice. Neither will get my vote in 2012.

“I would vote for a ticket with her as V.P. as I think she would be GREAT in that role but if you are truthful to yourself you know she is not ready to be Potus.”
I respectfully submit that you greatly under-appreciate the importance of the Vice President. How can you say that Palin is not qualified to be POTUS, but support her to be one heartbeat away from being POTUS? The argument that the VP does nothing more than attend state funerals presumes that the President lives and is able to serve out his or her full term. Life doesn’t work that way. We don’t get guarantees. How do you think we got Presidents Truman and Johnson? Ronald Reagan was also shot just 69 days into his Presidency, and had Hinckley been better armed or been a better marksman, history would be very, very different. I consider the Presidential candidate and the VP candidate to be of equal importance, and vote accordingly.

“IMO if it were not for the slime ball tactics of McCain and Huckelberry during the primaries Romney could have very well taken the GOP primaries and defeated the clown that now sits in the oval office. Yeah many of you cryin now are the same morons that gave us back stabbin McCain last time around.. How’d that work out for ya…”
Rest assured, I did NOT support Senator McCain, nor do i now. Again, preservation of the Constitution and the founding principles is the metric here. And Senator McCain, like Romney, comes up short.

“Romney/Palin or perhaps one I like even better Romney / Liz Cheney 2012.”
Won’t work for me.

“If there is someone else out there that wants it they better step up very soon so we can see what they are made of…”
On this, we agree.
