There is no plan to beat him. The RNC decided that.

Thanks, Patton.

Do you have a link to the Forbes’ article about Mr Auto Flip/Flop?

The only viable plan is to UN-elect Obama. and the only way to do that is to elect Romney.

And if you see NO difference between the two, as bad as Romney is, you are an idiot.

What is YOUR plan?

I had assumed that the liberal media would have been ok with Mitt....but in the last few days I’ve realized that the liberals apparently are going to melt down if their boy loses.....so that would be Mitt’s only saving grace.....we know he’s not a conservative....but they seem to think he is......so at least Mitt winning will make their heads explode.....that’s some small consolation.

Wrong. There is a plan to beat him, though not ideal. It is to elect Romney in his place.

Except that damned fools who want to cut off their nose to spite their face will sit home and bellyache.

Can you say to me, “I give you my word, Mitt Romney is a Solid Conservative.”?

I knew before the primary ever started that the MSM would support Romney during the primary and would turn against him once he was the presumptive nominee. I also knew they would have more than enough ammo to destroy him. Couldn’t happen to a nicer liar.

If these two are the best we can do, this country is doomed.

The funny things is that your community moron is so degeneratively wicked and anti-Constitutionally disgusting that no matter how hard folks like you try, Americans won’t be held back from going to the pols and kicking him out of our WH and replacing him w/ a Republican or a non-obamba or a dogcatcher.

No votes for gun-grabbing baby killers. Got it? No spite, no sitting at home. I will vote for a third party conservative if my ballot has one and down ticket in any case. I don’t vote for trash. Period!

So, you believe Romney is a conservative. Is that right?

Let’s see... For the last 3 1/2 years we have had a Consititutionally ineligible, US hating, Marxist loving, usurping freak running the county and you think that “electing” a “lighter shade of fail” is going to make a difference? Really? Are you that dense? Look, the horse has left the barn and the barn has burnt to the ground. There is no barn nor horse to be saved. It is 3 1/2 years too late. To not see that is to display your delusion to those who can. What part of “it’s too late, the damage has been done” don’t you understand? You think that a baby killing gun grabbing gay marriage granting POS is the answer? If so, you and I are NOT on the same side.

"Apparently both Gov. Romney and the signatories of this letter are misrepresenting what he did and did not do to protect marriage."

Just like this post does. Massachusetts was ordered by the supreme court to do this within a 180 day deadline. On the 180th, only after the legislature failed to act in accordance with the court, did Romney issue the order.

"Romney was a leading voice against gay marriage as Massachusetts governor. The courts legalized gay marriage in the state during his tenure, but he supported a constitutional amendment to define marriage as the union of a man and a woman."

-Fox News

From wiki:

"On November 19, 2006, Gov. Mitt Romney led a rally against the tactics that the Massachusetts legislature used to delay and possibly prevent a vote on the same-sex marriage ballot initiative in front of the Massachusetts State House. Romney said he would ask a justice of the state Supreme Judicial Court that week to put the initiative on the ballot in case the legislators failed to vote on the initiative on the last day of the Joint Session, January 2, 2007 as required by the Massachusetts Constitution Amendments Article XLVIII (The Initiative, IV. Legislative Action on Proposed Amendments, Section 2. Joint Session)[17] Romney said, "The issue before us is not whether same-sex couples should marry. The issue before us today is whether 109 legislators will follow the constitution."

On December 27, 2006, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court agreed unanimously with Romney's repeated assertion that Article 48 of the Massachusetts Constitution explicitly and unambiguously requires that the Massachusetts Legislature take a final vote on any and all voter initiatives placed before them, which includes the marriage amendment.

"After gay marriage became legal, Romney sought to enforce a statute banning state officials from marrying gay couples from other states. In a speech to conservatives last winter, Romney touted that move, saying he prevented Massachusetts from becoming the "Las Vegas of gay marriage."

-FoxNews

How? How? (Starting to sound like a Lone Ranger and Tonto rerun.)

It helps honesty and integrity.

The Washington Post in the article "Romney worked to reassure liberals" wrote:

“You need someone like me in Washington,” several participants recalled Romney saying that day in September 2002, an apparent reference to his future ambitions.

Romney made similar assurances to activists for gay rights and the environment, according to people familiar with the discussions, both as a candidate for governor and then in the early days of his term.

Integrity enables us to recognize when we are violating our principles. Hypocrisy is when we refuse to publicly acknowledge that we are violating our principles.

What do posts like this accomplish please?

They provide a handy link to post on threads where those of us still saying "no romney, no way" are being told "Mitt HAD to do it," Mitt lead the opposition to gay marriage". Proof of the delusion.
