Conservative Jabs at Romney Record (Writes A 28 Page Report On Romney!)

The primaries will determine all of this -- and it will do so via skill as a candidate, and that includes money.

The conservative hotlist of Hunter and Gingrich is what it is, and either would be excellent candidates for president IF they close the deal. That means if they raise the money and orchestrate a campaign organization and persuade enough voters to help them win. And it also means if YOU do what's necessary to get them the money they need and the campaign organization they need.

If your candidate does not get nominated it is not the GOP's fault. It is not some amorphous evil agenda's fault. It is YOUR fault. YOU didn't raise enough money for them. YOU didn't persuade enough voters to support them.

So if the GOP winds up with some other candidate nominated, don't blame that candidate or the GOP. Look in the mirror. That's who is to blame.

"The biggest problem is that Romney is so clearly and blatantly faking this. He's a fraud," Camenker said.

That only matter to people who have a brain to spot a phoney. Not everyone has this gift. It used to be called "Common Sense". But heck I am now an oldtimer.

but I'm really sick and tired of you "My-Way-or-the-Highway" types.

Maybe you misunderstood. If Romney is the Republican nominee I will keep my mouth shut and support him. Until such time as he is, I will fight tooth and nail to keep him from said nomination. He is nothing more than a native-born Schwarzengger.

That, sir, is exactly the right attitude -- with one minor suggestion. Don't fight so hard and dig so deep for dirt that you provide the enemy ammunition should he get the nomination. Accuse him of being too far leftward if you wish, and if he survives the nomination process and proves himself to be the best candidate (by so doing), then being accused of being too leftward will still leave him to the right of the enemy's nominee and preferable for all conservatives.

But no Republican should go after him in a sideways manner, making an issue of his religion or something about his kids or anything like that. Folks doing that are just helping the enemy.

I agree Pukin Dog. I have felt that way for some time.

[Kath]

Who had heard of Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton???? They got elected.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I too want to hear more about Duncan Hunter.

He's a conservative 17-year House legislator who's angling for a VP or Secretarty of Defense position. The guy's not going to win the GOP nomination.

Since you can never ever change a position in some people's mind:

Camenker Admits He Used To Be "A Social Liberal." "For much of my life I thought of myself as a social liberal. I voted for John Anderson for president and Michael Dukakis for governor." (Brian Camenker, "How A Good Jewish Boy Joined The 'Religious Right'," The Jewish Advocate, 12/25/96)

As for Romney, nobody west of the Mississippi has even heard of him.

Ever heard of Utah?

The problem is Romney is a fraud.

This guy led the effort in 2004 to make sure the Clinton Gun Ban did not sunset in MA. Granted, the MA legislature would have done this with or without him, but he made a point of leading the initiative.

Then he shows up at SHOT Show in Orlando this week looking for support from gun owners. I would love to see him explain his comments of 2004 while he's admiring these weapons in 2007.

That comes straight from my heart. It's only January 2007, but I'm really sick and tired of you "My-Way-or-the-Highway" types. You people want a "true conservative" (whatever that is). At a time of war, principally, I want a leader who will take the fight to the enemy, and has a chance of uniting the country. I see no one on the "true conservatives'" hotlist who comes close to having the leadership qualities of someone like Giuliani or Romney. I've been a conservative since my high school days when I cut my ideological teeth on Wm. F. Buckley and National Review. But my assessment is that the "true conservatives" should go off to a corner somewhere and figure out what it is you actually believe in, craft a vision for the 21st Century, and most of all, develop a new generation of leaders along the lines of Reagan. Hear this: This back-biting "RINO"-labeling of everyone you disagree with is infantile at best, and in a time of war when the Democrats threaten to take over and plunge our nation into a new Dark Ages, the attitude of you "true believers" is unAmerican.

Clearly, you lack the metal for political debate, much less war.

There is nothing 'unAmerican' about people arguing for their principles to be represented in their party's platform. It is obvious such people know what they believe.

If what you typed is really characteristic of you, then you're the one who should go the corner and resolve your identity crisis.

Did we not learn our lesson with allen in 2006? Everyone dumped on him and attempted to eat him alive b/c of 2008 politics, and our opposition used it against him.

"Camenker's not a serious social conservative hear, and gained reknown only after the Goodridge fiasco. His views on Romney are rejected by the wide majority of Massachusetts social conservatives."

Wrong! He's been extremely active on social conservative issues for years. Google fistgate someday. I'm extremely disappointed in the social conservatives like Kris Mineau who were bought very cheaply by Romney.

He is just another Massachusetts yankee. After he insulted the Confederate flag, he alienated South Carolina voters. Watch his polls wither. Romney, Gulliani, Thompson, McCain't, all are being snubbed in Dixie. Ron Paul is leading a Constitutional REVOLution.
