Comments about ‘Right wing group still likes Mitt for 2012’

If Rush Limbaugh wants Obama to fail, he is a short-sighted man indeed. George Bush's failures have caused a lot of grief for Republicans and Democrats alike. Both sides of the aisle should be wise enough to want our president to succeed for a change.

You need to be honest and not *selective* regarding what Rush said. I believe reporting the explanation that Rush gave about why he wants Obama to fail would be appropriate. Hint: It has something to do with turning America into a "soup kitchen"...

It is sad that Rush and his friends are so out of touch with the average American. He still does not get it that we American's need better then devise speech. We are a Great Country and a Great People. We have seen what the Republicans have done to this country and we demand Change. sorry Rush

We, as members of the Church, live in exciting times. As a member, Ive looked forward to the emergence of prominent political leaders who were also members of the church. I hear of the connection of the influence of Mormon Elders and the Constitution and have confidence in their leadership.
We have 2 dominant political philosophies at this time. And we have a prominent Mormon Elder on each side. Harry Reid is synonymous with Barack Obama and Mitt Romney is synonymous with Rush Limbaugh. Which should we listen to? If Mormon, Moroni, Nephi and Jacob were alive today, which philosophy would they be most aligned with? Or will there yet be the emergence of Mormon Elders who will let their religion trump their socioeconomic status or political philosophy?
I sure hope so.

On paper Mitt should be a very attractive choice for president, he is brilliant, rich, moderately good looking, no criminal record, a "successful" businessman, photogenic family , etc. The problem is that he is a terrible politician. Not only does he come across as stiff, and insincere, but he let the Mormon thing become an issue. The republicans are doomed, in 2012 if they try to run Romney, or Palin. And after that lame rebuttal speech Jindal isn't looking to hot either. They need someone with a moderate stance and a lot of charm. Maybe someone from a small, well run, western state, with a lot of national appeal, who has a rich dad? Let me see.........

Correction: Mitt took 20 percent of the vote at the straw poll (not 30 percent as the article suggests). But it was still a first place finish. Mitt is the best hope for Republicans in 2012. We need someone in the White House who actually understands the economy. Can't wait for 2012.

yeah whatever, RW likes Mitt until they have to vote for him and his 'Mormon' beliefs. Shake yourselves RW you can't have it both ways. He wasn't such a bad person/choice versus what we have today!

If some of you would bother to actually read the entire statement from Rush Limbaugh about Obama and his policies, you would understand that he wants Obama's policies to fail. "Jan 16, 2009 ... I know what his politics are. I know what his plans are, as he has stated them.
I don't want them to succeed." Please educate yourself before commenting on something you obviously have not fully researched. Sounds bites are the tool of those who hope people are too lazy to actually read the entire quote. Oh, and I too hope Obama's policies fail. And YES, I have actually read what he wants to do and I am watching what he IS doing.

Mitt in 2012. If we have a country left. If Obama and his sleazy crowd of Rahm Emanuel Types haven't pillaged our wallets and our futures so badly that there will be anything to salvage. I guarantee you that after another couple of years of the Obama left-wing crowd (Pelosi, etc.), this country will be so Changed that we won't recognize it. Liberal judges, higher taxes, gov't run and mandated health care, EPA telling us whether we can use double-ply toilet paper, government mandated curriculum (politically correct in its revisionism) in public schools, cradle to grave socialist state, ACORN voter fraud, marijuana legalized (just read that yesterday). Every day brings a new outrage from this Obama Administration. A whole lot of Americans will be wanting a refund. And Mitt's just the guy. He has my full support. He actually RAN a business, well, dozens of businesses, all successfully. Unlike Obama -- who only ran ACORN.

Let's see, when did DN have a headline or lead, "Left-Wing Radical Groups Love Obama" when referring to support for the president by ACORN, etc.???

Obama's administration is like watching a slow car wreck!!!!!!

$13.00 to $8.00 a week is going to influence so many.

Is Limbaugh endorsing Romney?

No more conjecture about Mitt Romney at this point. Stop, stop. Live in the now.

I am not impressed that the Right Wing likes him. That's no endorsement at all.

@Rush Taken Out of Context: Exactly what is taken out of context? If Rush wants Obama's politics and plans to fail, then he wants the President to fail; to wit, he wants Obama's economic stimulus plan to fail, hence he wants America to stay where it is right at this moment so Republicans can get back into office. I understand that there are very different political differences of opinion here, but to hope that Obama's plan fails, at least at the moment, is reprehensible. I think us Democrats are getting tired of hearing that this country is becoming socialist. This country will not become a full-blown socialist country. But the mere fact that the superwealthy right-wingers don't want to help out the less fortunate, while their bonuses are 3 times as large as a 95% of American's salaries is pure greed. There's nothing out of context about that. Rich people who do not wish to help those less fortunate to achieve the American dream should feel ashamed!

@Rush taken out of context

What is the actual difference between wanting Obama to fail and his policies to fail? It's the same things, i.e. more hard times for a troubled economy. And why would Rush wish more suffering? So that the Republicans can take charge again. Come on. Stop playing with semantics here and be honest.

That is such a reactionary headline.

"Again, stop these articles" - You sound about as ignorant as you likely are on the subject.

What makes an "anonymous" writer credible enough to make such a statement?

The poll is what it is.

What's happening now is an abuse of our country, and of our constitution. A total disregard for our founding fathers and all their hard work to build into America the freedom, peace and liberty that we all enjoy. Freedom means we have free choice - so long as we don't hurt or damage others this is beneficial. But you can't take your uber-liberal beliefs and cram them down another groups throat, and force them to accept your beliefs and call it a freedom. Rich people are free to choose, why should they be forced to share what they work hard for - that's socialism. I'm not rich, and I'm also not a part of this entitlement movement that is sweeping through our seemingly good people. Come-on....live and let live. Mitt is a great guy....but great guys are rarely the most popular. It's sad that Americans wouldn't prefer a president who is decent and moral and a God-fearing (respecting) successful business man. Why must we insist on someone who is suave and oh so polished and also entitled, rather than someone who revears the founding fathers vision for our freedoms?

There is so much bull in these comments that it is hard to know where to start. First, why is the CPAC described as a right-wing group? Even the Deseret News has a liberal bias. Second, a conservative is not the same thing as a Republican. I'm a conservative first and foremost, not a Republican. The Republicans did start this spiral toward socialism, and now the Democrats want to take it all the way. Third, as far as the advice to the Republican Party that it should be more moderate. Give me a break, what do you think John McCain was? That's exactly why we lost. We need a true conservative to run, not a wishy-washy moderate. True conservatism embodies four things that should appeal to all people: Limited government, low taxes, strong national security, and unlimited opportunities. These four things encompass everyting America should be about. If Obama and Reid and Pelosi take us away from this, I hope they fail, too!

The socio-economic illiteracy, as well as a lack of basic intellect, displayed within these comments is shocking. If one were to devise a plan specifically designed to devastate our economy, the actions of President Obama could not be more perfect; the stimulus packed with, yes, earmarks and superfluous spending that has NOTHING to do with stimulating anything other than pet commie-lib projects, raising taxes, and continuing the atrocious spending of the previous administration. Yes, any intellectually capable and honest person would want President Obamas policies to fail. President Obama wants to change the US into a European socialist, nanny state.

Also, every time he opens his mouth, you can almost count on the market taking a double digit dive the following day.

Yeah, Obama is the Dont blame me, I voted for the other guy President.
