Romney - populist panderer extraordinaire

The funniest part of this? The reporter admits that the truck isn?t just a prop. It?s a little beaten up, clearly has been driven before, and, as Romney explains, will be put to use this weekend, but no matter. So vivid is Mitt?s image as both a shameless panderer and a buttoned-down tycoon that it actually qualifies as news to see him behind the wheel of a ScottBrownmobile at a fundraiser.

Hot Air ? Heh: Romney driving pick-up truck to fundraisers now

How can any self respecting voter vote for a guy like this?

It isn't the vehicle one arrives in, it is the message that he delivers. So what if the truck is old, dusty and dented. I still would prefer to hear Romney speak over Obama who is hip hopping all over the country campaigning and raising Democratic "seed" money in a plane fueled by my tax payer dollars.

He is going down the same road as John McCain, Rick Perry, and others. You cannot be a part of the Conservative/Republican/Tea Party Movement unless you take a hard Right turn, significantly dumb it down, and pretend to be something you are not.

Sarah Palin will be the nominee in 2012 for the Repubs........I hope : ) At least she is authentic...kinda.

I wasn't a fan of Romney back in the 2008 primaries. He was a lot like John Edwards on the left, an opportunist. Really, the republican party can do better than this.

I'm no fan of Obama's policies either. That's beside the point, this is about who goes up against Obama in 2012. I sure hope it isn't Romney!

Me and thee! I don't think Romney can get past the horrific Massachusetts "health care" disaster he implemented while governor. I don't trust him.

Mitt Romney is a phony in so many ways.
He's flip-flopped on:
Gay rights
Gun control
Health Care
Abortion

Romney in 2012:
If you don't like his position on an issue, hey, he'll change it.

Gah! I thought Romney had so much potential as late as the end of 2007. My familiarity was with the way he turned around the Salt Lake Games - truly an impressive feat. I wanted to see him be bold, practical and problem-solving in 2008. He was so disappointing and has only gotten worse.

I expected him to stand up for religious freedom on the mosque issue, and even Huckabee did a better job of that than Romney.

Trying to take lessons from Sarah Palin will soon have him writing notes on his hands next....

but, seriously, he really can't go up against Obama with any remnants of his liberal Mass. Governor role.

I was never a fan of Mitt Romney, but I did like him for a minute a few months ago. Not a fan again now.
