You are boring us.

Then why'd ya ping me?

[mewzilla]

No prob :) I'm just askin' questions. Trust but verify.

In any case, whether Romney's lying or not, I've spent too much time in NYS to ever vote for a RINO. Any RINO. From any state.

[big'ol_freeper]

New polling data released today shows that Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney have the highest level of core opposition among the leading Presidential candidates.

I have always felt that the former first co-dependent could not win the presidency because too many people dislike her (her negatives are too high). What a disaster it would be to even that playing field by nominating a RINO like Romney with equally high negatives. That would make it possible for the former co-dependent to have a chance and also create fertile ground for a "Ross Perot" type third party candidacy to draw away enough conservative votes to give us a repeat of the 1992 and 1996 elections.

The New England Republican Party is like an old, abandoned house. Maybe a elderly couple is burning the chairs in the old Master bedroom, but downstairs punks have moved in and claimed it as their own. Mitt/Rudy/Weld/Bloomberg are just homeless street hucksters that are selling cutdown, stomped on crack to old conservative junkies that still have votes to sell.

From your link: THE PINOCCHIO TEST

Until the matter is definitively resolved one way or the other, I am going to give the Romney campaign the benefit of the doubt on whether George Romney ever marched with King. But Mitt Romney has conceded that he never actually "saw" his father in King's company. Two Pinocchios for exaggeration.

ONE PINOCCHIO: Some shading of the facts. TWO PINOCCHIOS: Significant omissions or exaggerations. THREE PINOCCHIOS: Significant factual errors. FOUR PINOCCHIOS: Real whoppers. THE GEPPETTO CHECK MARK: Statements and claims contain the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

This is why the DNC has been going after Mitt more than any other candidate.

From the Wall Street Journal:
Democrats know it. Here's an interesting statistic: Since the beginning of 2007, the Democratic National Committee has released
102 direct attacks on Mitt Romney.
Rudy Giuliani has warranted 78;
John McCain 68;
Fred Thompson 21.
Mike Huckabee? Four.
The most recent of these landed back in March. GOP voters may not have examined Mr. Huckabee's record, but the left has--and they love what they see.

Let's re-establish conservatism as the core value of the Republican Party and turn back this wave of "blue-blood Republicanism" espoused by the liberal troika of Romney, Guiliani and McCain

It is an insult to Rudy and Mitt to lump them in with McCain. McCain is the liberal in this field, as proven by the newspaper endorsements he is getting.

[ejonesie22]

Sad thing is they could...

I hold much hope though.

It is an insult to Rudy and Mitt to lump them in with McCain. McCain is the liberal in this field, as proven by the newspaper endorsements he is getting.

Interesting that you need newspapers to tell who is a liberal and who isn't. The fact that you consider Guiliani and Romney as conservatives and McCain a liberal tells me you have no idea of what a conservative is. Of the three McCain is the closest of the liberal troika to being a conservative.

The real insult is any of the three being associated with the Republican Party.

I’m being serious when I ask this. Won’t the soccer moms, many of which are past their physical primes, tend to vote more for the out of shape, ugly, fat hillary, someone who is like them? Isn’t that why oprah is so popular?

[libbylu]

In my research on this, a book published in 1965 said the two marched together.Close enough for me. Was it Broder?

[circumbendibus]

Same as yesterday

Huck 19

Rudy 16

Mitt 15

John 15

Fred 11

Numbers same as yesterday. Still looking for drop in Huckbee after Rush rant on Friday. No life in Thompson yet despite Steve King endorsement.

[Petronski]

Those are still yesterday’s numbers.

[shaft29]

The numbers appear about right. Both parties candidates are polling in the low to middle 40’s.The undecideds won’t make up their minds until late October of 2008. Wake me then. Right now this all a bunch of BS.

[circumbendibus]

Oops! Sorry about that.

From conservative columnist Robert Novak today:

ROMNEY'S CONSERVATIVE

David Keene, one of the conservative movement's seasoned warriors, braved freezing temperatures in Iowa this month to campaign there for Mitt Romney.

Keene had been considered a strong prospect to support Fred Thompson for president. However, after meetings with both Thompson and Romney, Keene decided Romney was the more viable candidate.

Keene is the longtime chairman of the American Conservative Union. But that organization does not make presidential endorsements, and the choice of Romney is Keene's own. He has been engaged in presidential candidacies at a high level dating back to Ronald Reagan's in 1976.

[jesseam]

I like your choice!! Merry Christmas all and pray for peace.

[jesseam]

That should read pray for victory, peace will follow.

AGAIN I SAY...I don't need someone in the dinosaur media to tell me who is a conservative and who isn't. Liberals need the media to tell them what to think. Being a conservative I have a mind that is perfectly capable of reasoned analysis. I know if someone is a conservative or liberal when I look at his or her record. Mitt's record is that of a liberal.

It matters not to me what his "current" pronouncements are. He can't run away from the record....and what's in his record is what you will get if he is elected. Big government liberal solutions, increasing taxes to cover his boondoggles, acceptance and codification of social and moral liberalism...just like in Massachusetts.

[circumbendibus]

OK know-it-all...Whom should I vote for? Why?
