Rally for Romney: Conservatives need to act now, before it is too late.

National Review Online ^ | January 31, 2008 | Mark R. Levin

[Petronski]

Those who cannot see the difference between Mitt and McCain

Who would that be? I can see the difference, just as I can see the difference between hemlock and cyanide.

...do so at our country's peril.

Either way lies our country's peril.

[Goreknowshowtocheat]

Me too. He needs the help..

[Cicero]

It would be a little more believable if they were turning to Romney as the only remaining hope after the real conservatives were driven from the race.

Unfortunately, however, it was National Review and Hugh Hewitt and a few others who sold their heritage for a mess of pottage and bought the Romney “electability” myth to begin with.

Now we’re down to two losers, largely because of their stupidity, and they want us to hop on board the Romney express.

I would agree that Romney is the lesser of two evils. But whose fault is it that we are in this mess? National Review, Hugh Hewitt, and a few others, including some of the Evangelical leaders who got into a snit about Fred, even though he is the closest of all the conservative candidates to their own positions. Huckabee? Don’t make me laugh.

People seem to be forgetting that Romney was gov of Massacommunists! Of course he has some liberal stains on his record! Not possible for him to govern that cesspool of socialism without giving ground on some leftwing cr@p! Sheesh.

McCain, on the other hand, is FAR more flawed with NO excuse or reason.

Sheesh again.

[2harddrive]

Since when is Romney a conservative? Wasn’t he the Governor of Mass? Didn’t he sign an “assault weapons” ban?

[Parley Baer]

Thats OK. I will take Mark Levin’s version of the events over the hogwash from the msm that you have been posting.

[JFC]

Thank u Mark!!!

[Petronski]

I will take Mark Levin’s version of the events...

Just don't pretend you were ever going to do anything else.

[americanophile]

Maybe everyone but you isn’t wrong.

[DoughtyOne]

That’s funny. I know you don’t think in these terms, but you could mirror that and change the names IMO.

Good one.

[DoughtyOne]

Romney’s record is there for anyone willing to look.

I guarantee you if he was running with a (D) after his name you would see his past clearly and fight like hell to keep him out of office.

[Millie]

Thanks Mark for the wake up call. I’m making a donation to Mitt Romney right now. He wasn’t my first choice, but it looks like he will be my last. I can’t bring myself to back McCain.
There is too much water under the bridge for the conservative wing of the party to support him.

Go Mitt!!!!!!

[itsahoot]

Please pray for future President McCain--day minus 335 and counting! Vote Mitt=Get Billary!)

Better pray for our Country, if the best we can do is McCain.

On that note FreeRepublic has officially became irrelevant. We can now stand by and watch the MSM frenzy along with the collusion of the GOP leadership, as our country slowly ceases to exist, as a free Republic.

[JFC]

We all MUST Send Romney $$$$$ asap!

[americanophile]

Well, it’s going to be a long process, and when Hillary Clinton appoints 2 leftist, pro-abortion judges to the Supreme Court, you can expect to wait 25 years to undue it.

[Antoninus]

People seem to be forgetting that Romney was gov of Massacommunists!

Funny, that same "excuse" doesn't work for Huckabee, does it? MA had Republican governors back into the 1990s, and yet they did NOTHING to advance conservatism in that state. Indeed, Mitt did such a "good" job that there were 30,000 fewer registered Republicans in the state when he left office--and coincidentally, 30,000 more democrats.

If you want that same performance on a national level, support Flip.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Yes!....A vote for Mitt is the only thing we have friends!

[TonyInOhio]

Neither one of those pathetic liberals was ever getting my vote.

I always respect your opinion, even if I don't always agree with it.

Who do you intend to vote for in November, if you do so at all? I'm trying to determine if there is a movement here towards a candidate, as it seems most FReepers are posting in opposition towards those already in the race.

[manapua]

Glad to see I'm not alone. Very disheartening times. I had just come to terms with the fact that Nat'l Review now stands for nothing after they suddenly began painting Romney as a conservative. I can sort of write them off as "the establishment," but when the grassroots-oriented talkies begin down this disingenuous, Orwellian route where Romney is a suddenly conservative... absolutely speechless. As Antoninus said, if we're down to Romney it's way too late. Pinning the hopes of conservatism on a liberal like Romney? That's a nonsensical option.

The discussion within the movement ought to be about post-2008 politics and where we ought to go. Because no matter which party wins the Presidency, conservatism has lost a major battle. And sadly, many intellectual and grassroots leaders are damaging themselves with this odd shilling for Romney.

[Antoninus]

In the real world in which we live, we rarely get everything we want. Romney, not my first choice, seems to be the leader I can rally behind. I will do so rather than go home crying.

Romney is every bit as bad as Christie Whittman. And we're still crying over her here in NJ, aren't we? Especially now that her brand of Republicanism rules the shell of the Republican party she left behind.

If you want that kind of experience on a national level, support Mitt.
