The more you and others here fight a useless fight against Romney

As conservatives, we are fighting to influence the primaries and who will be in them, and revealing the true Romney to the vocal and activist people that come here for information, is one of the most useful duties that we can perform.

Mitt only managed to win one election in his long political life, and he slinked out of that office with no chance of reelection and a 34% approval rating, and after being the fourth republican in that office, his dismal performance turned it over to the democrats.

Reagan was one of my favorite TV performers, Palin is not a TV performer.

Ah a voice of reason! When conservatives or so-called RINOS come out with excellent anti-Obama fighting words, why so much vitriol?

Because conservatives have examined him, watched him campaigning, watched him spend 150 million dollars marketing himself with little result, and they have not only dismissed him, but have come to despise and distrust the man totally.

At some point keeping an "open" mind on an unacceptable candidate ends, and then the energy shifts to making sure that he is prevented from purchasing the leadership of the movement that he is not a member of and has spent much of his life openly hating and fighting.

Besides you are an incredible phony, looking at your posting history shows you as nothing but a committed Romneybot, it is not a pleasant read, and all that comparing of Romney to Reagan (and Reagan to Romney), very sad.

If Romney runs (really bad move) it will be FANTASTIC to hear all the Q&A on his beliefs in Joe Smith and Bring'em Young. He must finally be faced with telling all truths on these beliefs. With specific FACTS to back his tales up. Since there is no archaeological or anthropological truth to mormonisn or any of Joe's Myths or any of Joe's bizarre writings, it will be the end of the Romney run for Prez.
Keep in mind we are a Christian Nation.

Accept only the facts.

Bye from politics Mittster!

-—”Besides you are an incredible phony, looking at your posting history shows you as nothing but a committed Romneybot, it is not a pleasant read, and all that comparing of Romney to Reagan (and Reagan to Romney), very sad.”

Not a phony at all... Yes, I was impressed with Romney’s ability to debate in 2008, but at this point in time, I think he’s damaged goods and is not the optimal candidate. I’ve stated so in my recent posts (if your reading comprehension skills didn’t catch that)... Does that make me a phony? That’s a far cry from a Romneybot in case you hadn’t noticed.

Why don’t you offer critique of my current support for Bachman or Mike Rogers for 2012? Does my support for them make me a phony? These are real conservative fighters.

Romney debated very well against McCain, but McCain’s dishonest people floated that lie that “Romney had a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq” on the eve of the Florida primary. The loss of that Primary was the turning point. Romney decisively nailed McCain on that lie in the California debate, but it was too late.

In 2008, we didn’t have very good choices with the pathetically inarticulate and uninspiring McCain as the alternative.

I know a lot of people here harbor a permanent hatred for Romney for his past career in Massachusetts and you think he’s flip flopped now and he is being somebody who he is not, hence the vitriol.

Suppose Romney WERE to be elected (which I don’t think will happen), I’m guessing your worst fear would be that a Pres Romney would pull a complete “Manchurian Candidate” on us and campaign one way but then impose strict gun laws, liberalize abortion laws even more than they are, embrace gays, and impose socialized medicine on us, and be a Carter in foreign policy. Right?

I just didn’t see that happening, in spite of his past and was willing to give it a try given his business knowledge and articulateness. That does not make me a phony. I had to overlook some things I don’t endorse about him, especially his Mormonism, but we don’t always get the perfect candidate who embodies virtually all of our values like we did with Reagan.

Your points about still spending energy on attacking Romney because you seem to fear him in the primaries are well-taken, but the way I see it, he won’t be a factor because he will be too easy to criticize for his changes of positions, for his white/good looks (for the racists in our society that notice those things), and for his Mormonism (which I’m not excited about either). In short, there’s damaged goods there AS I’VE STATED BEFORE...

And note there are not damaged goods with the other prospective candidates I mentioned.

So why not put positive energy into the really exceptional other potential candidates you like? If it’s Palin, then so be it.

I really think this stubbornness in going after Romney who most likely won’t be a threat at all, is a waste of Freepers time. We’ve got bigger fish to fry, namely the despicable Obama Regime.

"Ah a voice of reason! When conservatives or so-called RINOS come out with excellent anti-Obama fighting words, why so much vitriol? Most of the people here have such a deep but shallow hatred for Romney..."

Your "Deep but shallow" comment sounds like a Romney talking point. He can talk out of both sides of his mouth too. I don't hate Romney, but I do hate what he stands for because he stands for nothing. He will say whatever he believes he has to in order to win. Though we only have well planned out, group tested words for his conservative beliefs, he has plenty of liberal acts and words in his history which he now says have nothing to do with him.

The reason he is disliked so deeply, so thoroughly, so completely, is that he will lie to your face when the truth would better serve him. He assembles conservative counsel to determine what he should say to conservatives because, as a liberal, he hasn't a clue as to what conservatives think. He does everything he can to try to pull the wool over conservative eyes because once you know the truth about him, there is no way any conservative could support him.

Pro-choice, pro government, pro gay, anti gun, anti family, Mitt Romney is in an elitist group -- one of the republicans Hillary Clinton can easily run to the right on.

The Obama regime is in power because of your legion
of RomneyBOTs who lied and attacked Gov. Palin
and her family for no reason except to throw the
election for Mitt "Backstabber" Romney - your candidate and Master.

The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++8 pts. days prior to September 18th, 2008.
So the RomneyTeam attacked Gov. Palin and her children to throw Election2008.

"Frum was indeed a critic of Palin, calling her nomination a "huge mistake" during an October 13 Early Show appearance."

David Frum: "I have a lot of regard for Mitt Romney as a man and politician.
Let me say for the record: If Romney emerges as the Republican nominee, I will support him without qualm."

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers, some of whom are currently working for Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin's bid for the White House,
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide, now working for McCain-Palin.
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
He's in charge on November 5th.'"
The Prowler added: "Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."
The Romney supporters in the McCain campaign had access to internal polling which indicated well in advance of the November 4 election that McCain had no chance to win.
So they began working to position their man Mitt for a run in 2012. Just two days after the election,The Palmetto Scoop reported:
"One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
These aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"Here’s what I think: I think there are some staffers on the McCain campaign who seriously screwed up the roll out of Sarah Palin, to which Governor Palin herself objected.
These staffers are now out trying to finish her off thinking, as typical D.C. types do, that if they don’t do it to her, she’ll do it to them. They just never understood who Palin is or what she is about."
"Likewise, I do think there are some staffers and others who expect Mitt Romney to run again in 2012,
they decided McCain could not win, and decided to undermine Sarah Palin and her chances hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign? (Mark Wallace, Romney pimp)
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."

DBM tips hand in releasing the line they would use to destroy him if he becomes the Republican nominee.

Is it not more than coincidence that RomneyBOTs like
yourself always defend Obama and his Marxism first?
Is Romney nothing more than a White Obama?

[stockpirate]

Mitt-Witt is exactly that a Nitt-witt.

He supports gun control. abortion, nationalized healthcare.

Tell me just what conservative position this socialist holds?

[AlanGreenSpam]

-—”Is it not more than coincidence that RomneyBOTs like

Dude, you’re just completely irrational on this one. When did I “defend Obeyme and his Marxism???” When???

I detest the M.F... Period.

No more responses to you. I needn’t waste my time.

[ansel12]

The only guy that you expend years of effort defending and promoting is Mitt Romney.

Like a lot of Romneybots, you adopted the posture of saying I am not a Romneybot, but let me show up on all these threads and post exactly like one.
