Burying Mitt

I guess the author of this fine piece of dishonesty is insecure in himself but can't accept someone as successful and loyal to his family, himself and his country as Mitt. Now that you have just expressed your opinion and not America's. Mitt Romney has the best record of any candidate running and you know. I guess it's fair to say that your only writing this piece to appease your boss so you have a liberal dishonest paycheck.

Mr. Fineman..you are a cold hearted ass..le!

Republicans have worked hard to put government into your most personal affairs, making your kids pray in school; taking away a woman's right to control her own body and have an abortion; interfering with you and your doctor about using medical marijuana or even the right to assisted suicide. They even passed legislation regarding Terry Schiavo, taking away control from her former husband. If you want people like Mitt or McCain in your personal affiars, vote Republican!

Mr. Fineman, can we expect to see you run against Romney in 2012? I think you should spend your time harrassing Britney Spears or Lindsey Lohan. I believer real journalism should be left to journalists.

You obviously don't know Mitt Romney the man. He, without a doubt, was the single most qualified person to be President in this election! No one can even come close to comparing to his ability. He would have been an excellent President and he very well could in the future. The problem was not that he switched his views to accomodate an election, the problem is that John McCain has switched his image to accomodate a campaign. If you want to see the true flipper, McCain is it! His campaign rehtoric is not even close to his record! He spews out so much BS while he is talking that it makes me wonder if he ever had any commitment other than to himself! Lieberman endorses him, McCain/Kennedy amnesty, McCain/Feinstein disaster, fighting the economic package reminiscent of the Reagan era, fighting every move by the conservatives in the Senate, other than the war in Iraq and on terrorism, but yet he insists on having illegal immigration be the path of citizenship in our country and forgets that an open border is nothing more than a back door for terrorists! No matter how good Homeland Security and the FBI are, you can leave a border open and not have it come back to haunt you with terrorism! Yet McCain has never done anything to actually help secure the borders! The fence was authorized, but he saw to it that it was never built and now has been dropped from funding! He can say all he wants to about being a Reaganist, but Ronald Reagan would call him what he is, a politician saying whatever the crowd he is in front of wants to hear and then doing what he damn well wants to out of sight.

Lets just hope that there is a Mitt Romney quality person around to pick upp the pieces that "Obama McClinton" leave after they are through!

Fineman is by far the biggest idiot known to mankind. Second rate man with a third rate education.

The only reason I can think of that Howard would write such a miserable article about an honerable man is because he is a pathetic "little man" who is really insanely jealous of Mitt Romney. Many of the lazy "never beens" and "wanna be's" in the media can do nothing but sit on the sidelines and throw stones at the "men in the ring" I now know why Newsweek"s supscriptions have fallen so drastically. It is because of the second rate thinkers and second rate people writing for them...RIP Newsweek and Howard

I agree with Mr. Fineman. People sensed a lack of real social convictions with Romney. He tried to run away from his record and accomplishments in the "liberal" state of MA. All in an effort to appease the far Right of the party (Rush Limpburger will lose the election for the republicans not win it) Romney could have run as a more competent, young, moderate, with wide appeal across party lines. Even stronger than McCain because of his previously held moderate social views (Pro-choice, etc.) and certaainly better than Rudy. Instead he abandoned his long held beliefs, joined the torture and kill all muslims crowd and now he's done. Lets see the remaining Candidates . . hum . . McCain, Paul, Huckebee - all have a more critical and honest assessment our recent foreign policy blunders. Hey maybe their right - I guess voting Republican electorate thinks so.

Mitt Romney will be around a lot longer than a second rate thinker and writer like Fineman.

This article was a complete waist of time. We all know the reason Mitt lost- religion. If Huckabee wasn't in the race, the evangelical conservatives would be forced to vote for Romney. But because they had an alternative, and they obviously have to desire to put aside religious differences in a political process, they voted Huckabee. McCain has Huckabee to thank when he wins. He won the independents and a small portion of convservatives over, while the majority of conservatives were split between Huckleberry and Romney. You say Mitt switched on so many issues, yet the ony issues were abortion and gay rights. Romney 2012!

As I read articles in the newspaper and other periodicals I have been accustomed to the bias opinions of so called journalists that have lost the ability to be objective. As I read the subject article by Howard Fineman, I shook my head yet again. This time, I feel the need to fire back a few words. First, to say "he ended up standing for nothing but his own ambition" as if this man who has nothing to prove to himself or anyone else, is absurd. I will start be saying he is not perfect, who is? Certainly not Howard. Certainly not John McCain who is by all standards an American Hero but read about his involvement with the S&L debacle. Mitt Romney has shown nothing but class. Humble when he wins and gracious when he looses.

Howard, comments such as "Even as conservative radio talk-show hosts reluctantly settled on him as their savior" or calling him a "soulless throat-cutter" are so very far off that it is easy for me to question your integrity. Howard ask Mitt what integrity is.

And to say "He didn't know enough about national politics" is the icing on the liberal media cake that I will never eat. The guy was Governor (Regan was Governor before holding the most Prestige Office), he turned around Mass better than any Democrat has ever done and certainly better than our current Deval Patrick and he did it with a Democratic Legislature. So yes he may not have gotten everything he wanted to do done. But he worked well with the Democratic legislature. Unlike Patrick. That might be a quality we need in the White House. Am I right on that Howard? He ran the Olympics. Yes Howard he brought countries together. Good quality to have as a President? I would say so. Oh, and he turned around a corrupt Olympics that almost fell apart. And he did it in a short period of time. Another good quality Howard?

You may not agree with him. You may not like him. That is fine because we are in the USA. But don't RIP him. Have some respect for a guy that is as American as they come.

It is not your writing skills that need work Howard. It is your judgement skills.

I remember why I quit reading Newsweek Magazine some time ago.

I strongly disagree with this article. Mitt Romney's record is a witness of who he really is. He did a fine job in Massachuesetts and maintained conservative principles as the govenor. It is true that Romney won states where there were many Mormons, but lets not forget how close he came to winning states where the religion he is affilliated with is not as prominent. A second place in Iowa, New Hampshire, Florida, a practically tied third place in South Carolina and a huge victory in Michigan. For someone who has "covered a lot of presidential campaigns" fortunately for novice analysts like you and me there will be some future campains that we can learn from.

What a loss to have Romney drop out! He has so much insight into what America needs. Any complaints against him have been inaccurate or insignificant. People have even sneered that he spent so much of his own money on his own campaign. Perhaps those people should consider that he owes no favors because of it. His actions may have changed over the years, but his personal principles have never changed. He tried to accommodate perverse lifestyles in the name of "freedom to choose" until he realized the devastating impact of allowing loose morals to overrun the rights of conservative families. I hope to see him run again in four years!
