Yes it is troubling that he picked Richard Grenell as a strategist & spokesman.

Well, you stated that he wasn't surrounding himself with lefties, and he is. Out of ALL of the people, including many true conservatives who would be on board for Romney at this point, his first pick out of the gate is far-lefty on the kind of issue that shows a profoundly disordered understanding of humanity.

For a substantial number of us, Romney is still auditioning. As they say, Epic Fail. If Bill Clinton made such a choice in 1992, we would have been laughing at it all of the way to the election.

You can vote for whomever you want. Mitt Romney is a bad man who ran an utterly dishonest and malicious campaign. If we put the imprimatur on the RINO iteration of the Chicago way, this movie will be re-run every four years.

I know that many Freepers in good conscience honestly believe that the country will not survive four more years of Obama. That may well be so. I KNOW that if Romney has a four or eight year opportunity, there will never be any turning back, barring perhaps a total repudiation with a Reagan '76 type run, only this time with the challenger winning.

A lot of the good conservatives like you who will hold their nose and vote Romney, would be constitutionally unable to put a lot of energy behind it. People say to support Romney as if the Republic depends on it. They don't really mean it. They are not going to spend the hours on the phone, donate the money, put on a fake smile and promote Romney to their associates except in a negative ABO fashion. Many of them even feel a little bit dirty.

As a former New Englander and present Illinoisian, I know the fake Republican when I see it. In 1998, I voted for the Democrat Poshard for governor. Convicted felon George Lyin' Ryan broke his promise to the gullible pro-lifers, vetoed the partial birth abortion bill, emptied death row, and was convicted of selling commercial drivers licenses for campaign donations. In that case the Dem was actually better (pro gun, pro life). Years ago, John Silber was a rather conservative Democrat who lost to the patrician snot William Weld. Since then, the Dems have purged the Poshards and Silbers, and have what they want ideologically. We must do the same with the Welds, Ryans and Romneys.

I'm thinking the long game. If the dam breaks within four years, it would likely be a rupture with Obama, and it be easier to pick friends to side with. With Romney, a fast, but smooth descent with bad guys infiltrating every nook and cranny. If the dam doesn't break, we have an opportunity to either run a united campaign in 2016 against Romney, who will likely draw only one challenger as an incumbent, or another slugfest, only without an obvious RINO successor to the Romney RINO mantle.

Dr. Dr. Dr., 1 person is not surrounding one's self. If he continues to pick these types it will not be encouraging for sure, and all that you have said rings as true as can be.

Like I stated, there are no good choices in this Presidential race, only better choices.

You're dreaming if you think this country will still exist if Obama gets another 4 years. 4 years to put in Supreme Court Justices, U.S. Federal Courts Justices, not to mention filling the bureaucracy even more with Marxists & Communists. 4 years to further eviscerate our military & our weapons supply. 4 more years to give our monies to terrorist organizations (No wonder his adminsitration made the statement, the War On Terror is over. What they can't say, yet, is the terrorists have won. That will come when he his re-elected). 4 more years to spread our wealth and destroy the middle-class. 4 more years to do end arounds Congress to further ignore the Constitution, and the list goes on and on.

Just look at our schools, full of Communists & Marxists, who have been subverting our children for decades which is why the majority believe the democrat false utopian pipe dream.

Look at union leadership, and to a large percentage, the rank & file union members. Again full of Communists & Marxists in the leadership roles, subverting blue-collar workers to believe they deserve a bigger piece of the pie, while in actuality giving them smaller & smaller pieces of the pie. Because the pies are disappearing, largely due to unions.

Look even at our churches, many of them are subverting the Constitution as well.

No wonder God is abandoning America, because the majority have abandoned him.

We are at the precipice, and neither choice is worth a sheet, but one of the choices has a real desire to take us over the cliff and will do just that given 4 more years.

For all I know Romney may want to do the same, but I am hoping that is not the case. His legacy to date does not give me much hope, but I have seen the other's version of hope & change, and I feel certain I know the final outcome with that choice. Now if Ron Paul or Newt can overtake him by some sort of miracle, the same logic prevails for either of them as well

Bottomline is, we do not have the luxury to sit on the sideline. commiserating that the Stupid Party has once again selected another progressive POS to run against Obama.

We must defeat Obama. It would help if we could get more Consitution loving people in Congress too, but that seems like an even more daunting task. I believe in God though, and am hoping that there are enough of us still remaining, that he will answer our prayers to return this country once again to the shining city on the hill.
