Page 2 - Romney Unelectable News Today

Not a partisan republican, that im someone who is moderate and my views are progressive. do you believe governor romney now when he says that he is a man of constancy and that hell stand up for conservative principles? >> you know, i think this whole discussion so far has been very superficial. and i think the question in a way that you ask is superficial in youre talking about character, which is very important, but i think we should deal with the issues as well. i dont see how we can do well a...

Obamas created in the entire country. we also got our state police to enforce illegal immigration laws. put in place english immersion in our schools. im very proud of the conservative record i have, and i think thats why some of the leading conservatives in todays world who are fighting the conservative battles of today that dont have any ax to grind have gotten behind my campaign. governor nikki haley of south carolina. governor chris christie of new jersey. right here, the great senator of ne...

We got welfare reform. first tax cut in 16 years, 4.2% unemployment, and four straight years of a balanced budget with a republican speaker and a democratic president. so it can be done with real leadership. >> anybody else have a point of view about how you actually work with the other side when theyve committed to working against you? governor? >> yeah. i mean i was governor of a state that had a slightly democratic leaning house and senate. my legislature was 85% democrat. and i went around a...

Youd been out of state for something like 200 days preparing to run for president. you didnt have the interlude of citizenship while you thought about what to do. you were running for president while you were governor. you were going all over the country. you were out of state consistently. you promptly re-entered politics. you happened to lose to mccain. as you had lost to kennedy. now youre back running. youve been running consistently for years and years and years. so this idea that suddenly ...

All of this country being right-to-work. listen, im not anti-union. im pro-job. and the way you promote this countrys rehabilitation from the obama administrations attack on job creation is by taxes, and regulation, particularly the regulatory side, and pulling those regulations that have gone forward over the course of the last, since 08, and test them all for, do they create jobs or do they kill jobs? if they kill jobs, you throw them out. that will make more difference in this country from th...

But we need to talk, you know, supply and demand, everybody knows about supply and demand. they talk about oil. if we had more alternative sources we always hope the price also go down. but everybody forgets that theres another 50% of a transaction is the monetary unit. and you dont deal -- very few people talk about the supply and demand of money. and when you create a lot of money, prices go up. so it goes up in the areas where government most gets involved. you know, in education, in medical ...

Subsidy, people are happier all the way around. thats what supply side economics was originally all about in the 1970s. >> governor romney, on those economic questions you blame president obama for the jobs crisis but when you look at the data and a positive trend line he still only gets the blame and none of the credit. how come. >> actually i dont blame him for the recession and the decline. what i blame him for is having it go on so long and going so deep and having a recovery thats been so t...

Dodd-frank which makes it harder for community banks to make loans, all these things collectively create a reality of a president who has been anti-investment, anti-jobs, anti-business, and people feel that. and if you want to get this country going again, you have to recognize that the role of government is not just to catch the bad guys, important as that is. its always to encourage the good guys. >> all right. >> and to return america to a land of opportunity. >> back to john and andy. john, ...

You most or makes him disqualified to be the nominee? >> well, i think what republicans have to ask is whos most likely in the long run to survive against the kind of billion-dollar campaign the obama team is going to run. and i think that a bold reagan conservative with a very strong economic plan is a lot more likely to succeed in that campaign than a relatively timid massachusetts moderate who even "the wall street journal" said had an economic plan so timid it resembled obamas. so i think yo...

Well, the carpenters union, for instance, trains their workers to be more effective on the job. and when they compete against non-union workers they do that on a fair basis. if that happens thats a positive contribution. let me say this with regards to unions, i agree with governor perry right-to-work legislation makes a lot of sense for new hampshire and for the nation. but also lets not forget the government union and the impact theyre having. if were going to finally pull back the extraordina...
