Just wanted to say as a Romney supporter good luck to the Thompson campaign today. I hope you guys do well in SC and we do well in NV. Most of you were on our side in Michigan and we appreciate it. TBH, I had been a little annoyed at some of the Thompson supporters prior to that primary, but you guys showed me something with your support in that race that changed my mind and I'd be proud to cast a vote for either man in November (maybe we'll get lucky and get to cast one for BOTH!).
In the end, I think we are a lot more alike than we are dissimilar and as such a Romney-Thompson alliance only makes sense. The real deal Senator and the business savant make two excellent choices.
Give em hell boys!
Not bloody likely you RINO-lovin commie! :)
MSNBC just called Nevada for Mitt Romney!
You need to change your name to Johhny One Note. You give the Mojave Desert a bad name.
“I suppose we can be be happy with the knowledge that wrestling is fake.”
Compare and contrast TV wrestlers and TV preachers.
Not a peep of support at my NV caucus today for anyone but Paul and Thompson.
The process was a disaster.
I agree, process seems to always dominate in “cauci”.
If you put Thompson at the top of the ticket, I'm fine with it. Fred is Presidential material, and Mitt could deliver a few votes out west in heavily mormon states.
Mitt at the top of the ticket = deal breaker for me. Give him 4-8 years of watching conservative leadership in action, and he might be a servicable candidate.
As it stands, I honestly don't see anything but skin-deep differences between Mitt and Rudy. Both Socialists. Both statists. Both dead wrong on the 2nd Amendment. Both favor an authoritarian nanny-state over limited government. Both would move the party further to the left rather than leading the country to the right. Neither could even deliver their home state in the general election.
Why would anyone support either one over Fred? Regional sentimentality? Identity politics? I really am curious, because I haven't seen anyone make a believable case for Mitt on conservative grounds.
