Mitt Romney is filthy rich so he can self fund his campaign, has a large and experienced campaign staff, gets tons of media attention, and generally looks like he is going to be going into 2012 with a huge head start for the presidential nomination. However, he has tons of weaknesses that can be exploited. He passed Romney Care in Massachusetts, which is very similar to Obama care. He passed an assault weapons ban in Massachusetts. He has an overall liberal record and positions(until campaigning for president, of course...), but the previously mentioned issues I think would be great to rub in his face as much as possible.

Does everyone here remember how Giuliani had Ron Paul people protesting his events? There were Ron Paul signs and supporters everywhere he went for a while. I even remember a hilarious photo-shopped picture of him surrounded by the signs. I think Romney should get that same treatment. Everywhere he goes we should be there reminding everyone that:
"Mitt care=Obama care, say no to socialism"
"Mitt Romney thinks the 2nd amendment is about hunting"
"Go back to Massachusetts, and keep your socialism there where it belongs"
"The next Arlen Specter?"
Etc.

Thoughts?
 
Yeah Mittens is probably the main obstacle for the presidency, which means we must have a really good shot. :)

Pointing out inconsistencies with Romney's record and highlighting Ron Paul's support for homeschooling ought to win over many primary voters.
 
Romney isn't going very far.

The media has already started hammering him about how the health care plan he established for Massachusetts has much in common with what Obama pushed through Congress.

My guess is, Rick Perry will be the "chosen one".

He's talking a bunch of populist sounding rhetoric which is entwined with neocon warmongering.

Yeah, they have definitely called him out on RomneyCare out in the MSM... but I feel they have been letting him get away with his half-assed explanations for it way too easily. But of course you can't expect anything less from the MSM on letting people spin their way out of a situation.

Although I'm not a big O'Reilly fan - he did do a pretty good job on slamming him about RomneyCare in MA, and didn't really let him spin his way out of it as easily.

I suggest we rename Mitt Romney to Mitt 'The Mandate' Romney :D

YouTube - See Mitt Romney Promote an Individual Mandate

Anyone else remember the scene @ 44 seconds? :D

For the most part, FOX network is the propaganda arm of the GOP.

If O'Reilly is grilling Romney, it means that Romney doesn't have favor with the republican party machine.
 
So, I decided to do a quick search to find Romney's main grassroots central forums... this is I think the best I could find...

http://mittromneycentral.com/forum/

[Admin note: Text cut- please do not initiate anything that could start a forum war. Thanks.]


They have like NO topics or replies... especially compared to us.
 
FIVE netsavvy romney-ites? simultaneously! oh wow!

its an ACTUAL gentleman mitt forum and is NOT a spoof one? :D okaaaay...

Downside: blowback. Could any other group pull off the same here?
 
I dunno if such forums even have enough traffic for it to be of any real impact... the ROI would be minimal.

lol
 
I'm the owner of MittRomneyCentral.com

It's funny to me that you guys scoff at the forums I installed just last week and not even officially announced yet.

You see that there are only 10 members, that's because I've only sent an email to 8 people to join the forum to help me test settings and permissions and such until we announce on our facebook page and blog that it is open. ( http://facebook.com/mittromneycentral )

Our whole site is relatively new since it was established just 7 months ago, yet we are already at a 5 google ranking. Daily Paul is a 5 also, these forums are a 4.

We are new and we are growing. Thanks for you interest in "bombing our site".

BTW - It doesn't reflect well on Dr. Paul (whom I have a lot of respect for) when his supporters go about seeking to destroy other sites.

Wow, I'm surprised how quickly of a response we got after merely a few hours of talking about it!

As we can all tell - our forums are being watched by pretty much everyone - we must be even more popular than we thought.

Nate - I'm glad you guys found a place to concentrate your efforts and ideas, discussion, etc. Just so you know by 'infiltrate' I never meant anything of an attack.

What I do mean, however, is that if you guys truly value free markets, liberty and the constitution - then you should all be easily converted to the ideas of true liberty, and that of Ron Paul... as opposed to Mitt 'The Mandate' Romney.

Either way, good luck.
 
Biggest obstacle? I'm not so sure. I have a feeling he might actually become the Giuliani of 2012. His health care plan is too similar to Obama's to gain any real credit amongst the conservative wing of the Republican Party. Early polls may show him as the front runner but no one, with the exception of Palin & Paul, has been campaigning for the white house yet.
