Joining Romney for President, Judge Bork said, “Throughout my career, I have had the honor of serving under several Presidents and am proud to make today’s endorsement. No other candidate will do more to advance the conservative judicial movement than Governor Mitt Romney. He knows firsthand how the judicial branch can profoundly affect the future course of a state and a nation. I greatly admired his leadership in Massachusetts in the way that he responded to the activist court’s ruling legalizing same-sex ‘marriage.’ His leadership on the issue has served as a model to the nation on how to respect all of our citizens while respecting the rule of law at the same time.”
Judge Bork continued, “Our next President may be called upon to make more than one Supreme Court nomination, and Governor Romney is committed to nominating judges who take their oath of office seriously and respect the rule of law in our nation. I also support Governor Romney because of his character, his integrity and his stands on the major issues facing the United States.”
I am not sure what the effect of this will be, but it does make the case that Romney is the conservative choice for those who want to avoid Huckacide. It’s time to get over your misgivings of his flip flops and get on the train folks.
Hunter
Huckabee
Thompson
If the others win then I am going with a write in vote.
It doesn't matter. They have their opinion and no endorsement, no set of facts, no experience, nothing will ever persuade them otherwise. We can just post the mounting evidence that Romney is acceptably Conservative to these important Conservatives and let the nutters rant. This info wasn't meant for them anyway. The Romney haters are the Conservative answer to the Bush Derangement Syndrome types over at DU, the Daily Kos, the HuffPo, the MSM and so on.
I'm as strong a defender of the Second Amendment as you will find. I am not the least bit concerned about Mitt Romney on that score.
What if Huckabee wins?
“It’s time to get over your misgivings of his flip flops and get on the train folks.”
Nah... It’s time to reject Mr. Romney for what he is - a fraud.
“Terrific news!”
Sure, if your taste in fashion includes jackboots.
That’s part of it. I think your level of comfort with Mitt depends on how much of a pass you give him for being from a very liberal state where conservative progress must be measured relatively.
Good news !! Romney can be elected,and Huckabee can not, in my opinion. That is the bottom line.

So dismissive!
SO full of it.
You are blind because you don’t care to see.
Mitt is bad at picking judges. Look at the victims of Romneycide on this thread and get back to me.
Also, accepting the endorsement of Bork, a jackboot authoritarian who doesn’t think there’s an individual right to keep and bear arms in this great Republic, is also telling. As is Romneycare, and all the other liberal nanny state crap we’ve seen come from Mitt. He has to call his lawyer before bombing Iran.... but not to take your guns. I will not vote for that man.
He's certainly the thinking, rational conservative's choice.
He won't satisfy the shallow conservatives who think with their gut, who cannot see the incongruity of extolling Ronald Reagan (whose Second Amendment pronouncements were not uniformly pro-RKBA) and condemning Romney (whose Second Amendment pronouncements are more conservative than Reagan's).
ronald reagan would not get support on this forum this year.
What makes Romney more electable than Huckabee?
He did throw her under the crowded bus though, and I like that. Can anyone name a judge, male/female, gay-bi-transgenderd of quality? Of note? That Mitt picked for us poor shlubs in Massachusetts?
Mitt fits RINO’s like a glove!
Is that your own thought, or did voices from the ether penetrate the tin foil on your fevered noggin?
More likely, Romney would say,
As the endorsements continue to pile up, soon they’ll tell us there is NO conservative voice out there, they’ve ALL sold out! Don’t you find it interesting that these endorsements are for a guy not even leading in the polls. I think that says something. Perhaps they know something these “experts” here don’t.
We’ve counted on these conservatives for years & appreciated their wisdom & their fight. Now, all the sudden they’re considered dupes to a very vocal minority here. Silly really.
