Judge Robert Bork has endorsed Mitt Romney for president. He explains:
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.'
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.
As much as conservatives respect Judge Bork, his endorsement is less significant as guidance for undecided conservatives than as evidence of how undecided (non-evangelical) conservatives are likely to break.
Read Hucklenutz's article in Foreign Policy magazine; hes a clueless moral pontificator who wouldn't know a dictator from an interior designer. If you could pack his pablum in jars, you could stock a warehouse, easily.
The conservative endorsements continue to pile up. Who will be the first to call Judge Bork a RINO? Romney is the real deal.
1. I’m a proud Freeper
2. I’m for Mitt
3. I’ve been around here long enough to know that Freepers are NOT mainstream conservatives - not that there’s anything wrong with that...
My reply to you is better a 50/50 chance with Mitt (which I think is much better than that) than a 100% guaranteed nation killer like Edwards or Barack will be. Personally I don't think there is a perfect candidate out there, but I can live with Mitt far easier than anything the Dems are fielding.
You just summed up my thoughts exactly.
Non-evangelical conservatives are beginning to realize that they have nothing to fear from Romney. Romney is wise and disciplined enough not to let his private religious beliefs dictate his policy and decisions as president.
Huckabee wants to force his peculiar brand of Christianity on the world through the power of the United States government and pay for it with money extorted from taxpayers who know far better than government how to exercise genuine Christian compassion.
There is a festering malignancy of religious intolerance and smug self-righteousness in Huckabee's candidacy that mainstream conservatives find disturbing in a way that they do not find Romney's "odd" beliefs disturbing.
I also just like the guy, and sometimes personality and character matter.
This is not the year for republicans to staunchly fight for the next Ronald Reagan. It is the year to stop Hillary.
Romney is not the “real deal”. He has baggage.
Let those amongst us who is without sin cast the first stone.
He is the smartest candidate on either side and there is no question in my mind he is committed to the best interests of the US. Continued American global dominance for this century might just have been secured by GW Bush in Iraq, but it could be squandered by a lesser intellect than Romney’s. I would rather not risk that.
That would make a nice ticket, but it's very unlikely unless it would swing California into the Republican electoral column.
I think Hunter as SECDEF is a better fit and more likely.
In a word, “no”.
Yeah, him and Chris Dodd.
I AGREE. i THINK HE IS A CLASS GUY AND has to play
the game the way the ball is bouncing...He has poise,
aND SMARTS, AND ANYONE WHO HAS FIVE SONS...IS OK IN MY
BOOK..And his wife is quite impressive, also. You
gotta have a class First Lady.,..aka..LaURA. JK
“And his wife is quite impressive, also. You

That’s one of the reasons I like Mitt, he’s a family man. He’s a man of faith.
He was a pretty decent governor (blocked free in state tuition for illegals, etc).
As many have said Fred isn’t going anywhere, McCain has burned too many bridges, Rudy has way too many skeletons in his closet, the nut from Texas couldn’t even vote against pedophiles because he felt it was too big government.
So it boils down to Mitt & hopefully Hunter as his VP - it is the ONLY ticket that makes sense imo.
EEE, I’m with you 100%, I think it is the winning ticket.
The problem with that ticket is neither of those two would likely capture their home states. Not a good way to starting adding up the electoral math.
Mitt Wit wouldn't even be an upper-tier candidate if not for his money and the fact New Hampshire is in his own backyard. The rise of Huckabee is a response to how unimpressive Romney and Giuliani are to the conservative base.
And, he has a Mormon problem in addition to a liberal record that makes him as unelectable as any candidate running.
Romney has gone from being a liberal candidate, liberal governor to trying to cast himself as a conservative in LESS than six years.
He is a fraud on a level with Bill Clinton.
What difference would that make unless Willard died?
I’d have to add my “no” to the list.
