Every now and again, bro, you back off of your... interesting.... posts, and post something brilliant. Your post is good.

Expect resistance by the Ruling Elite Republicans, though.

If you follow the posting history of some of these “principled, anti-Romney, true-conservative” poseurs, you’ll see that they are devoutly anti-Mormon.

A ha! The anti-Mormon card is now played. Vote for Mitt, or else you hate Mormons.

Yeah, that's the ticket!

Why are folks fighting yesterday’s fights?

Good grief, it is this in-fighting that could very well hand Obama another 4 years. While not crazy for Romney, he is the frontrunner now and we must get going to get Obama OUT of the White House.

When that is done, we can put Romney’s feet to the fire.

Did the GOP just go a bridge too far? For me, yes. I’m going to re-register as an independent. So what if I can’t vote in the primaries? This party has been infiltrated by the Left and is as dangerous to our freedom as the real Left. I will have nothing to do with it. I’ll vote for Romney because I hate Obama more and he will kill the country at warp speed, unlike Romney and Rove and their ilk, who will do it with a thousand cuts. But at least it gives us more time to fight them. Top-down authoritarian tactics use to belong to the Left. Not anymore. It may have been the “Grand Old Party” at one time, but not now. Reagan must be rolling over in his grave at the disgrace this party has become. Then again, Reagan had to fight them too - and he won. I will write the RNC - not that they’ll care - and tell them why I can no longer be a part of their phony party.

I know this may sound crazy - but in my sense and the business people i deal w daily - a Romney victory, even if he does nothing and sits as a potted plant in the oval office would be the best stimulus package for the economy vs ObaMAO for 4 more years of hell to destry this nation.

1) We conservatives didn't pick this fight. This is Mitt Romney, himself, telling conservatives and Tea Party people he can win without us. Well, best of luck t'ya.

2) Yesterday's fight effects us today....and many thousands of tomorrows.

This is not 'old news' and we will not 'move on'.

I think you are right. It would boost the economy.

Until, in horror, business discovers that Romney trends left of W.Bush.

Get over it.

Win it in 50 days. Win it, then fight again.

NOT UNTIL THEN.

Fight now and win.

Got to see Gov. Walker’s speech last night. He was wonderful, presented how WI did what needed to be done, and showed that it can be done nationwide.

The GOP-E made sure yesterday that feet-fire won't be happening after the election and in 2016.

Timber Rattler, here’s the problem for you. If you really do live in Pennsylvania, your vote for a third party or Mickey Mouse won’t matter. the dead democrats will find a way to vote in Philly and will make sure Obama carries this state. That should delight you, correct? You’re spending a lot of time telling people how bad Romney is, while even if you did vote for him, your state’s electoral votes are going to the other guy. So, why are you upset at all?

So, this is what I really don’t get about the anti Romney posters. PA has a closed primary, as I’m sure you know. Did you vote for Tom Smith? Who did you support during the primaries, down ticket? Isn’t that what the anti Romneys claim to be concerned about? You’re actually a registered republican? You would have to be in order to participate in the primary election process.

In any event, you just continue to moan and whine. We have their backs.

But it can be in other ways. He has Rep. Paul Ryan as VP running mate, plus also with more conservatives being elected to the house and with taking back the Senate with the White House.

Again, PRIORITY has to be GET OBAMA OUT of the WHITE HOUSE.

Having come back to health after a major life-threatening illness, I have little patience with those who are fighting yesterday’s fights.

Uh...no we can't. What they did yesterday was essentially make sure the republicans all line up like nice little toadies to whatever the Romeny agenda is. This makes/made them more like the democrats than you will ever believe. Not only was the conservative voice silenced in the primaries, it silenced representation. The only 'feet to the fire' are ours.

ron paul is about as far from being a conservative as you can get. He’s a libertarian in republican clothing; an outlier who gives not a poop about you or beating obama. He’s a spoiler who would rather see obama as president than a real conservative, pure simple. This is a guy who supported occupy. This is a guy who thinks iran DESERVES nukes.
Everyone has experienced the loudmouthed and underhanded tricks of paul’s supporters. Just because they yell loudly and bogart their way into places where we have to put up with them doesn’t make them grassroots since the majority are stormfronters and pot smokers who want dope legalized and our military criminalized.
GET OVER IT!

We worked hard to get Scott Walker elected the first time, but I have got to tell you, the second time (the nasty expensive RE-Call) the left was so ugly, so nasty, brought in millions of national Teacher Union thug money, that it roused thousands of volunteers to make phone calls, knock on doors and get out the vote. The nastiness, the importance of that 2nd vote for Walker, just made us dig in our heels and get er done. We were incensed from months of paid protesters occupying our beautiful capital building, filthy protesters at every speech Walker made, mortified during a speech for special Olympics disabled children that the protesters stood right with the children and tried to get them to boo the Governor...... and I could go on and on. THIS like I say incenses us not made us give up. That's what this country has come to and I pray the results in November will prove my theory.

Keep the faith and let's do this!
