BUSH Speechwriter: "Bush loyalists "all want to be back in power again, and Romney's the best bet."

[kpete]

For Romney, a campaign shaped by Bush allies

..............

Privately, they believe that however anti-Bush the chatter gets during the campaign, Romney is the Republican most likely to defeat Democratic President Barack Obama in the November 6 election - and that a Romney presidency could have a look much like Bush's presidency.

Romney's campaign is "a restoration of the Bush establishment," said former Bush speechwriter Matt Lattimer, who is not supporting Romney. Bush loyalists "all want to be back in power again, and Romney's the best bet."

1. Translation:

Another empty head they can program with extremist ideas.

[siligut]

4. Mitt has extremist ideas of his own

"Corporations are people, my friend"

[Dawson Leery]

2. That should be obvious, seeing that the party establishment

has rallied behind Mittens.

[EFerrari]

3. Mittens goes back with the oligarchy aka BushCo. n/t

5. Hmm...Rich daddy? Check. Powerful Republican daddy? Check.

Has anyone seen pictures of Romney and Bush (the little feller) together?

[Arugula Latte]

6. They want to rape and pillage the country even more.

It will be a smoldering ruin by the time they're through with us.

8. For I guy who wrote a book not long ago about their incompetence,

I'm surprised he's so well informed on what they think. I figured most of the * loyalists wouldn't be talking to Lattimer.

9. ....the administration that ran us into a ditch?

The administration that was appointed by a tainted SCOTUS?

The administration that has the blood of thousands of GIs on its hands -- blood that was spilled while Bush Sr. and Cheney were war profiteers?

The administration that -- for a lie -- killed hundreds of thousands of sovereign Iraqi citizens?

The administration that wants to come back. You mean Wolfowitz? Ashcroft? Karen Hughes? Condi Rice? Feith? Etc.?

What a nightmare.

10. Which begs the question, why would anyone on "the left" help them? eg..Hamsher, et al?
