None of those other guys were elected by a state that thinks “Fisting for Third-Graders” is a great addition to the government school curriculum. Sorry, but Mitt was elected by the same state that elects and reelects Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry, and Barney Frank and - - come to think of it, there hasn’t been a Republican House or Senate member in the state for years - - over and over and over again.

That’s a killer. I can’t vote for Romney.

FRegards,
LH

It is hard to imagine Rudy Guiliani maintaining his support in the large states that come thereafter like Florida...

Intrade has Romney at only 5% to win Florida, despite Rasmussen's kind words.

This post seems like a bunch of Mitt supporters all got together and planned a Freeper surge effort here.

I’m a Mormon, and pro-life(anti-abortion), but why couldn’t he just stay as he was all his life(pro-choice)? Wh make this phoney conversion(in his 50s) in the year before he runs for the nomination. Being phoney like this is worse than the substance of any position he takes. If he had stayed genuine, whether pro-life or pro-chioce, then I think I would probably like him more. (I like Rudi or Fred both.. John Bolton is probably my dream choice!).

Had he not his own funding, he would never even be considered as a Presidential candidate. A Gay-State "Republican" has no chance of carrying even his own state.

Dream on! RINOS must all be voted out of the House and Senate, and we sure as hell don't need a new one as President. Mitt has money and knows how to make his money work for him...when and where and who. Mitt is a walking, talking PowerPoint presentation…that’s all. No depth and no core principles. He will tell you what he thinks will get him elected.

Sorry...he is spinning his wheels. Look closely at Fred Thompson. Fred is not what the MSM is making him out to be. Check out Fred08. Read his policy papers. Educate yourself or you will choose a fool.

That is not even a coherent argument.

Your talent for comprehension is consistent with your posting history.

Ditto. If you were governor of MA, you cannot rule as a true conservative when the state GOP is half RINO. However on the national level, Romney will not be alone, he will have many conservative allies to back his conservative proposals.

The attempted leveraged buyout of the GOP continues...

"Had he not his own funding, he would never even be considered as a Presidential candidate. A Gay-State "Republican" has no chance of carrying even his own state."

Since you said I couldn't comprehend, I will discuss you post.

Any one can be considered as a Pesidential candidate. Some are running now without much money. Not a very good attack there.

Since Romney won Mass as a governor, it would give any thinking person the perception that he might be able to carry it.

Romney must be beating your pick....is that the problem?

I used to live in MA.

I’ve met him and looked him in the eye.

I’ve been to events where he’s taken all questions - no filter - no security - just walked in.

Folks - he’s the real deal.

The RINO tag is a smear.

This throws a bit of a wrench into Romney's plans:

Court Rejects Early Michigan Primary

I’ve thought a lot about his mormonism. While I think that’s misguided, I don’t think I have a problem with a mormon president. I think he would support religious freedom, possibly even more than Bush has.

Folks - he’s the real deal.

Socialized medicine, complete with taxpayer-funded abortions.

Implemented gay marriage.

Homosexualized the public schools.

Signed a permenent assault weapons ban.

Picked more non-Republicans than Republicans (of any stripe) to the bench, including radical gay activists.

Left the MA GOP in utter shambles, with more Green Party candidates on the ballot than Republicans.

Oh, he's real alright...

Mormonism is not his problem. It’s a thirty-five year record of hardcore liberalism.

Hardcore liberalism?

That’s ridiculous on its face.

Who is your candidate?

Yeah, OK, I can buy that.

Mitt is Harry Reid.

DO NOT TRUST.

Period.
