Why I chose Newt over Santorum | 'How can alternative to Romney be Romney supporter?'

No, how did you miss all the exposure that we gave to the radically, passionately, pro-abortion Mitt Romney in 2007? His rabid anti-gun aggression, his appointing of all liberal judges, only 25% who were even registered republicans, he ran to the left of Ted Kennedy in wanting full homosexuality in the military.

Romney was not a rino, he was a full fledged liberal.

Romney told the abortion movement in private, to trust him as a stealth supporter, to just get him into the White House (via Massachusetts Governor’s office) so that he could then deliver on his true, and necessarily secret, agenda.

NYT about Romney running for Governor in 2002, but referencing a greater national role: “At the end of the private session, when it became clear that the group was going to endorse Mr. Romney’s Democratic opponent, he surprised its leaders by saying he could be a “good voice” and the most effective national Republican leader on abortion, said Melissa Kogut, a former Naral official who has detailed notes from the meeting.

“I thought, ‘That’s interesting. He’s running for governor, and he’s trying to convince us to get behind him because of the role he is going to play on the national stage,’ ” she said. “We left the meeting feeling pretty good.”

"Romney was not a rino, he was a full fledged liberal."

Um... thats's kind of the definition of RINO - Republican In Name Only. A liberal pretending to be a Republican.

I hope I did not give you the impression I was a Romney Supporter. no freakin' way.

My best hope at this point is a gingrich/Santorum ticket for 16 years of conservative bliss. At my age it may be the last presidential ticket I see

Um...No, a rino is a moderate Republican, someone who is in the more liberal half of the republican party, HW Bush, or McCain, or Dole, all were lifelong Republicans that in their own way were engaged in the party and it’s future nonetheless, even someone so far left in some areas as Giuliani can be called a rino Republican.

Romney is a true liberal, he really is faking being a Republican, you were wrong in 2008 if you were a Romney supporter then and you are wrong to be defending him now.

Romney has never been a Republican, he never should have been able to come into the party after in October 1993 solely to start on a plan to become it’s leader.

Both McCain and Huckabee were to the right of that Massachusetts Ted Kennedy clone, who despised even their politics as being too right for him.

“At the end of the private session, when it became clear that the group was going to endorse Mr. Romney’s Democratic opponent, he surprised its leaders by saying he could be a “good voice” and the most effective national Republican leader on abortion, said Melissa Kogut, a former Naral official who has detailed notes from the meeting.

you said "Um...No, a rino is a moderate Republican, someone who is in the more liberal half of the republican party,"..."Romney is a true liberal, he really is faking being a Republican, you "

Are you missing this: Republican In Name Only

Or do you just enjoy being disagreeable?

In 2008 McLame was the WORST choice... which is why when it came down to those two I would rather have had Romney

I alswo am old enough to know the GOP is lwyas in the "who's next" seniority mode- which is killing us, and I figured if Romney was next McLame would be way too old to try again.

My first choice last time was Paul

No, I’m telling you that Mitt Romney is hard left, Ted Kennedy left, not a rino like the GOP always nominates for the presidency.

You supported, and are doing it right now, the most radical leftist guy that I have ever seen make a serious push for the Republican nomination.

Romney refused to even be a Republican or vote for Reagan during the Reagan revolution, Romney became a democrat supporter and fund raiser and he named William Weld his political model and became a supporter of and a fund raiser for Planned Parenthood after he reregistered Republican.

“I am not unaware of my opponent’s considerable record in the area of civil rights, or the commitment of Massachusetts voters to the principle of equality for all Americans. For some voters it might be enough for me to simply match my opponent’s record in this area. But I believe we can and must do better. If we are to achieve the goals we share, we must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern. My opponent cannot do this. I can and will.

We have discussed a number of important issues such as the Federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which I have agreed to co-sponsor, and if possible broaden to include housing and credit, and the bill to create a federal panel to find ways to reduce gay and lesbian youth suicide, which I also support. One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.”

every freeper better vote for Mitt if he is the GOP nominee.....Don’t you agree?
