As a Florida resident I have to apologize to conservatives for what happened here in our primary election.
Theres an axiom regarding Florida that says if you are in- Florida, you have to go north in order to go south. The remnants of old Florida went solidly for Newt but predictably areas like Miami-Dade and Palm Beach County where I live are areas of transplanted northerners who are known for telling us this is how we do it up north, which begs the question - if its so great in New York, New Jersey, Boston then why did you come here?
The same thing has been done to the state of North Carolina where northerners, especially eastern seaboard, are violating their fiduciary duties to posterity by voting for leftists like Romney in their home states. THEN, when they lose their jobs or they retire, they dont want to pay the concomitant taxes which come from voting for leftists, so they relocate to Florida and Charlotte or Raleigh North Carolina and repeat the causes to which they are owing and which again will produce them as the Roman orator Cato once said in regard to the vast fund of stupidity in human nature.
Be that as it is, we are counting on the real South, whats left of it to do the right thing and make up for our delusions.
I must confess that yesterday I discovered that I had not fully conducted my own due diligence on Mitt Romney. I dismissed him early on as a liberal imposter after learning that he invented- Obamacare and after seeing him propitiously flip his position on virtually every significant issue that matters to conservatives just in time to run for him to President.
Yesterday as I was doing some research for my video published this morning called "A Mitt Romney nomination could be GOP Death Knell" (at website)
I was going through the veritable litany of liberals being used to sell- Romney to the people who like voting for salt & pepper hair and nice jaw lines. Some of the names being utilized to sell him are of course none other than John McCain, Bob Dole, Charlie Crist & even Tom Brokaw (to his consternation). But I was wondering if I might add his fellow Massachusetts liberal Senator Scott Brown to the list.
What I found is that the FACT that this character is a leftist was so overwhelming - that I stopped doing my research too soon. This guy is the gift that keeps on giving (to the Democrats) and it's no wonder that Obama and the Dems are salivating at the prospect of Mitt being the GOP nominee.
When I "Googled" the words mitt + romney + Scott + brown I found another -hair brained- scheme created by Mitt that although may not be the albatross that his healthcare program is - it is perhaps every bit as appalling to basic sense and conservative principles. Romneys other hair-brained scam was called "Wheels for Welfare" and it was so expensive that Scott Brown opposed it and the liberal governor who succeeded him scrapped it because it was so exorbitant.
According to This piece at ABC, "it was a program that gave welfare recipients free cars, free car repairs, free insurance and even free AAA." http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/01/the-top-three-conservative-arguments-about-romneys-record-that-no-one-has-made/
There is plenty of information regarding this legalized scam all over the Internet. It certainly gives us further insight into the type of "expertise" and business acumen we can expect a President Romney to bring to the table. After all, aside from spending tens of millions of dollars slandering and libeling his challengers who have track records with distorted and out of context sleaze, his SINGULAR theme upon which he is running is I was a businessman who made hundreds of millions of dollars; therefore I will fix the waste in Washington DC.
Well, there we have an example of exactly the type of sagacity we should expect if Mitt Romney were to secure his legacy and become President not only cash for clunkers but free auto insurance, free auto repairs and even free towing! Now how much would you pay?
Moronic. It really does require a willful suspension of disbelief to contend that this fellow would do anything but betray our party like every legacy seeking liberal who has hi-jacked our party nomination before him.
I know Newt has baggage - but so does our first self-admitted cocaine snorting President. Obama is not about to open the door to the valley of dry bones in HIS closet. The morality question was never broached by John McCain and certainly not by the media in the past election. It is certain that Barack and the O-media will damned well never make this election into a beauty pageant of moral rectitude because they know that Newt will pounce on the opportunity to compare histories of which Obama voting drones know little.
So despite what the man with holy underwear, Mitt Romney contends while dredging up Newts past sins, the contentions are as shallow as Mitt Romneys campaign platform.
In a closer to perfect world I would today have voted for Jim Demint. Instead I voted for a conservative who can be judged as such my looking at the totality of his record - versus an imposter who has to run on John McCain, Bob Dole endorsements and Tom Brokaw sound bites.
I am truly sorry and embarrassed for those, including Ann Coulter who have been seduced by this modern day Elmer Gantry.
I have voted for every Republican since turning 18 in 1988 - BUT this time around, if Mitt Romney is the nominee, I will NOT debase my country or myself by voting for this sleaze.
For the past two months of being deluged by the underhanded commercials onto which Romney has attached his name, and after watching his sophomoric behavior at his rally in The Villages (Florida) yesterday where he taunted Newt Gingrich - I can say emphatically that this is no gentleman and this is no statesman.
3rd party or independent conservative it will be if Mitt Romney is the GOP nominee.

Hey, we here in Iowa tried to do our part, but the jerk did try to steal the win anyway.
“Wheels for Welfare”...even the title of the program sounds like a bad joke.
I won’t vote for Romney either, no matter what. I just hope we can prevent him from becoming the nominee. There’s still time, and the one who may do it is Romney himself.
He’s not quite at the Joe Biden level, but he says completely wacky things and simply doesn’t know how to express himself. Think of his “I don’t care about the very poor” remarks today; in context, they were fine, but anybody who is stupid enough not to realize that saying a phrase like that was going to be offering up a fatal soundbite is too stupid even to run for dogcatcher.
At least it’s not another “my thoughts today” video.
I don’t understand why you use the word “humble” in your name. That’s as misleading as a Mitt Romney ad. Judging from your lifetime of posts I have seen here, you are one miserable individual and I pitty you.
You know Obama and Mitt have one thing in common.
One follows a religion of ONE PERSONS revelation, and gave us the Koran, a Holy Book.
The other follows a relgion of One Person and a revelation of an angel Moroni, and a Holy Book, the Book of Mormon.
So much for critical assessment of manuscripts, authorships, authorities or councils. Just BELIEVE..your prophet,...
Which makes me doubt if anyone can be so delusional, I’d hate to have them sit in the Oval Office.... Help...Midwest.. Deliver us from MITT.
I understand. Here is he rub - Americans that fall for this Romney crap are totally brain dead. Probably the same type that fell for King Obama and his snake oil salesman delivery.
Well said rovenstinez. And there are many strange similarities between Islam & Mormonism.
Yeah, starting about seven years before you showed up, Junior.
I dont understand why you use the word humble in your name.
I don't understand why you can't find anything but your own stuff to post.
Self promoting much?
you are one miserable individual and I pitty you.
Yeah, I like to read material from folks who write "pitty".
Tard.
Lol!!!!
I believe there are more things in common between Obama and Mitwit. But the list is too long to write out here.
It’s just crazy that the same idiots who gave us Obama and McCain are now trying to give us the next RINO/Liberal. No thanks dunderheads.
Well, I’d write more but I have to go take a really big shMitt.
I’ve been coming here since 1996.
You are a sad individual. I will keep you in my prayers.

I guess I’ve been misinformed.
I thought FR wasn’t FreeRepublic until 1997.
???
Thank you so much for the history of FR! I have bookmarked the thread, and have put it in it’s own folder.
But, I’m confused.
“In September of 1996, I created the Free Republic website.”
“I wrote the forum software and launched the Free Republic forum in February 1997.”
Which is the official date?
We work in mighty ways in this place. Tremble and Fear our mighty power.
And ignore that man behind the curtain.
That was before my time, but I believe it means FR started in a different format, before this software was created.
Usenet?
Very cool graphic. ;o)
