If Mitt is the nominee, I go fishing that day.

Oh, I have a feeling you will make enough time to post your daily offering of anti-Mormon threads. ;-)

There you go again, trying to deceive readers with the conflating of individuals and mormonISM. Never in all the years I've been reading amoreperfectunion's posts have I read an 'anti-person post. Now, I have read numerous anti-mormonism posts and make a multitude of them myself! But you, in your sleazy apologetics way try to impugn the poster by deceptive conflating of individuals and the ISM, the non-Christian ISM of Joseph Smith.

Romneycare will hoist him on his own petard.

We desperately need someone other than these two to break out. Romney SHOULDN’T win and Palin CAN’T win.

If it doesn’t happen I really see a scenario where GOP primary voters flock to RINO Romney in their desperation to unseat Obummer.

I’m still holding out hope that DeMint throws hit hat in the ring. I could live with Santorum, too. And Gingrich is in the same boat as Sarah - unelectable. Though I would relish the prospect of him shredding Obummer in a debate.

If Palin decides to run and has anything better than a TOTALLY incompetent campaign manager, MittCARE = obamacare Romney is TOAST on that issue alone.

I believe that Romney will put up a tough fight in the primary.... but Palin will win.

That poll is junk science. 22% of conservatives will vote for Obama or are leaning Obama?

More conservatives support Romney than Palin?

That’s as much as I needed to see.

[Ripliancum]

A little sensitive aren’t we?

BS

You have that correct which is one thing that always irks me in general not just with Palin vs Romney but with conservatives vs so called “moderate” Republicans. If a conservative is having a tough race it is because of “kooky conservatism” but if a “moderate” is having a tough race there is no such criticism if anything again conservatives are the target because they just don’t love gays enough, won’t compromise on abortion, or just won’t face the fact that big govt is here to stay.

All of those critiques are not based on reality but that doesn’t stop the double standard. Even conservative media icons get in on it but then again they live and work in an industry largely dominated by liberals or liberal-tarians.

Romney if given the harsh critique of Palin would be dust. Look at the state he left Massachusetts in regard to a huge growing health care liability. He is also soft on illegals and turned a blind eye to sanctuary cities in the state while gov. We could go on with his back and forth support for “cap and trade” saying, ‘I’m convinced it is good business. The key problem with Romney is where Palin may be a novice in some areas (though I’d be hard pressed to identity any Republican that leads the media around on a chain better) Romney is a follower of the wind, he is a Machiavellian chameleon politician who found conservatism as a vehicle not a preference.

Also we have liberal Mark Kirk struggling against a corrupt Chicago Democrat while the Conservative running for governor is leaving his liberal opponent in the dust but it is humble conservative Sharron Angle who is called “kooky” and “out of the mainstream” yet she is in a neck and neck dogfight with the leader of the Senate Reid after rising from obscurity to win in a state Obama carried with 55% of the vote and then there is Rand Paul who is running consistently ahead of Conway and Toomey who is also doing the same while “moderate” Republicans are struggling even with huge bank accounts to carry them to power.

I just get tired of the game playing and it is purposeful.
It is meant to unfairly deflate conservatives to a second tier status. You have grass roots fueled candidates winning like Rand and Angle and suddenly they are “scary” but you have soft candidates like Kirk who hide their way to win the primaries and then still perform badly and its just mainstream politics. The people are being played the fool.

Palin is only unacceptable because the powerful have attempted to make her so. They fear her and that is the reason we should not.

[MHGinTN]

Why yes I am, you little cult worm.

[Ripliancum]

You never disappoint.

So the media says! The 2012 election will be a referendum on Obama. Whoever we run can win if they are willing to be critical of Obama and oppose his socialism. So far Palin is the only one who has shown any interest in doing that.

We will not win if we run a Bob Dole or a John McCain or a Mitt Romney who will just stand there and say, “But, Mr. President, I beg to differ with you about how to accomplish reducing the debt by raising taxes.”

[Maelstorm]

I don’t trust Mitt or those who run his campaigns. He shouldn’t make it past the primaries but I know far too many Republican idol fans of his who won’t be swayed by his not so conservative actions.

[caww]

Romney has no chance.....his religion will do him in as everybody knows...not to mention his support for abortion. Besides if Dems. move Hitlary to the front you can be certain they will pick Palin over Romney against her.
