Nikki Haley and Romney?
Here we go again. Letting the Democrats PICK the narrative. Have you heard that Republicans want to kill all Women? This is a Republican war on women dontcha know?
Haley on Romney’s ‘golden bullet’
Washington (CNN) – South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said Thursday the leading Republican presidential candidate was carrying a “golden bullet” to connect with women voters.
Speaking on CNN’s “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer,” the Palmetto State Republican said Mitt Romney’s wife Ann, along with the candidate himself, would need to answer women with concerns about his platform. Polls released in the past week show Romney trailing President Barack Obama by a large margin among female voters.
“If Gov. Romney has not related to women, he needs to get out there and talk about the issues they care about,” Haley said. “They care about jobs and the economy, and raising their families and all of those things. But they are obviously not relating to him as much as we want them to. That means he has to work harder, he needs to continue to do that, and he needs to bring that one golden bullet he’s got, which is Ann Romney.”
Now let me be perfectly and undeniably clear on this: I don’t dislike Nikki Haley, I respect her and I am glad she’s on our side. But the problem I have is the GOP’s thinking. Here’s my take on it:
The democrats are saying we hate women so we better get a woman to run with Romney. But, we also hate Muslims, Blacks, Latino’s, Grandma’s, Puppies, Cripples, fat people, kids, bunny rabbits, gays, asians, flowers, walks on the beach, the sun, monks, Catholics, Christians, soccer, crumpets and probably a few other things according to the Democrat party. So are we going to find someone who encompasses the opposite of that hate???
My advice to the GOP if Romney is the guy, pick a very strong CONSERVATIVE for his running mate. I don’t care what’s under the waist or up top. I care about someone being one step away from POTUS who is BETTER than Romney to run the nation.
There’s very few on the short list I’d like to see in that spot and as of right now, Nikki Haley isn’t one of them. Neither is Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman. My list includes folks like Jindhal, West, Bolton, Rubio, Ryan or even Rand Paul, These folks have conservative records. They could bolster the GOP’s base into action. Another McCain/Palin will not do it.

I DO like your short list.. Except for Rand Paul… Nut, tree … No distance at all..
First of all, I DO hate soccer so the Dems are right about that one. Second, if the MSM wants us to adopt their narrative and we do it, it is OUR FAULT ANYWAY. Haley wasn’t even on my radar till I read your post, Robert. But I do know that you follow this stuff more closely than I do so I find it concerning. She is Palin Light, and that didn’t work out too well for us last time. Rubio is the obvious choice so I kind of doubt it will be him. Agreed that Bobby Jindhal would be an excellent choice. He’s my dark horse candidate because he doesn’t get as much play as he probably should. But Rand Paul? No way. His views toward Israel just would simply not match up with those of the GOP in general. Even a moderate like Romney. My basic problem with Haley’s comments are they are basically the same vague tripe that comes out of the Dems’ mouths. What does “he needs to work harder” mean in this context? He has stated his positions well at this point. This mamby pamby “they care about raising their families” doesn’t even mean anything. Who doesn’t care about raising their families?! Her comments were flat out weak and, frankly, if a man would have called Romney’s wife a “golden bullet” it may have been looked at as a little patronizing, huh?
You are absolutely correct Doc. We have a serious need for tough love and we’ve got the patronizing do good’rs running things. The same folks who would buy their kids heroin because detox is so tough… We need a real leader who will do the hard things to save our kids and our grand children as well as our grand parents. It can be done but it requires folks to WAKE UP.
