Mitt Romney on the “Comical Delusionist”

Fellow blogger Daniel Mount has covered the Presidential race and Mitt Romney is one hopeful. Today I ran across Mitt’s response to Chavez Hugo’s comments. Here is Atlas’s take on it.
I caught Mitt Romney on John Gibson on FOX today on a “comical, delusionist” Chavez. He segued into the war on Islam in discussing Ahmadinejad.
His frankness and ease in talking about the jihad took me aback. I rarely hear a politician particularly those with political aspirations speak with such ease and knowledge about our war against the Islamic Jihad.
He is one of the few who get Islam and the jihad and is not afraid to say it. Remarkable.
The man sounds very presidential to me. Listen to him.
I have to admit that he comes across as plain spoken and direct. Perhaps refreshing. Would he remain that way in office? That may be another question. It seems that too many lose that once in office. Mitt isn’t as conservative as we might like… ok… he’s definitely not conservative. However, you can see the video here.

Romney’s not conservative? What?
I can’t think of a single politician with as much personal charisma, and ability to communicate conservative issues. Mitt Romney is the obvious choice to get the GOP nomination
Remember back in the day when Ross Perot was running for POTUS against Clinton and Bush? He went on TV and mocked Clinton’s claim that he had created all those jobs in Arkansas. - (Tyson Chicken factories making chicken McNuggets). Perot had the background and the gravitas to mock that claim. After all Ross Perot had (practically) single handedly created over 100,000 jobs for EDS. Clinton dodged the draft. Perot served in the military, and even picked up Jimmy Carter’s slack by saving all the American hostages in Iran back in the seventies - because 2 of those Americans were EDS employees.
But when Ross Perot debated Al Gore he got slaughtered.
On TV one time I was flipping through and I stopped on a BBC story that showed the British parlaiment. Some guy got up and gave a speech totally railing on Tony Blair. Tony Blair had to immediately get up and give a speech responding to his critics. Could George W Bush do that? No way! Could Bill Clinton or Ronald Reagan survive in the British parlaiment? Yeah. (Cheney probably could do it if he would ever come out of hiding.)
Out of all the prospective GOP nominees who has the executive experience with job creation, budget balancing, consensus building? Mitt Romney.
Who has enough charisma and intellectual gravitas that they could go up against someone like Bill Clinton in a debate?
Mitt Romney!
Out of all the candidates name one who is down to earth enough that despite being a millionaire still rides on Jet Blue airlines? - Mitt Romney. Not even Ross Perot who has a reputation for being one frugal guy could say that.
Mitt Romney is the real deal.
Mitt Romney stared down MIT during the stem cell debate a couple years back.
Mitt Romney is the most articulate proponent for traditional family values. I can’t think of any politician who would be able to take on the liberal arguments, on their own terms, and persuade swing voters back toward traditional values.
That is the way I see things.

After the neocon/leftist direction that our nation has been plunged towards, with the current “Republican” administration, we need new conservative leadership - specifically, traditionalist and pro-sovereignty conservatism, in addition to the obvious pro-family, pro-life, and social & fiscal conservative values.
