Uh, as I read the article, the ‘Pubbies track record of picking winners ain’t so hot. Perhaps they should try something else other than choosing “the one whose turn it is”.

But I don't like running him down as a man.

I've read JimRob say that Mitt isn't even a man.

I'm not that hard on him but don't fault anyone who is.

He is among the very worst politicians that ever lived and we have one here in Illinois who is going to give him a run for his money in that category. His name is Mark Kirk, "republican" Senator elect. One totally worthless ultra liberal P.O.S.

Very early in the primary season, one or more of the Republican candidates should call on ALL Republican candidates to take the No Third Party Pledge.

I like that idea, with one exception, that being if Romney is the republican nominee, I and many others will need a third option. I simply will never vote for Romney, yes, even if that means that worthless pile of dog dung Obama wins again.

Now, I'll say this in advance, I'm not a Romney supporter. I've never voted for him, I've never sent him money, ect.

If Romney get the nomination. IF. Then people need to vote for him. Its a tough pill to swallow, I know, but I seriously doubt that this nation can survive another 4 years under Obama. If the choices are Romney, Obama, or stay home, then vote for Romney. Because staying home is passive support for Obama, and thus a blow struck against America.

Hopefully, it won't even come to that choice. But we can't afford for Obama to win again.

In that case, the future says Obama wins in 2012.

“Everyone was predicting a massive Reagan lost, til the last few weeks of the election”

That was before Fox News and the internet. ABC/NBC/CBS probably withheld the truth because they were the only ones in charge of the news. It couldn’t have been a last minute fluke because Reagan was re-elected with even more states followed by Bush who was elected in a similar landslide.

That’s exactly how they think. Hey, he’s been around for awhile, it’s his turn now.

No way! Actually, I don’t think that’s really going to fly with GOP voters this time around. I hope, at least.

“I would say good luck. You don’t to convince committed conservatives - you’re going to have to convince Republican voters who are not Freepers. They take a different view of it from us on here.”

If it was up to freepers, Fred would have won the nomination in 2008, closely followed by Duncan Hunter.

His money is the only thing that is keeping his “candidacy” alive. However, in the past - such as the last election - GOP candidates were essentially chosen on the basis of their acceptability to the left.

Why the GOP cares whether the left likes them or not, I don’t know. But I think Romney is just another example of this; like McCain, he’s almost beyond RINO and could easily be a full-blown Dem, except that he wouldn’t want to share the spotlight with Bambi.

It’s an idea - we have to do something. I can still see a vicious primary, which could turn off voters. Again, I hope I’m wrong.

You don’t to convince committed conservatives - you’re going to have to convince Republican voters who are not Freepers. They take a different view of it from us on here.

There it is in a nut shell. I know I catch myself in the process of thinking that all Republicans, especially those who consider themselves conservatives, think like the general population of F.R.

I believe that F.R. has a little more than 300,000 registered users and not all of whom are what I would call, "active members", that's a big number but not so big when compared to the electorate of the country and we, as a group, are probably farther to the right than many who consider themselves conservative.

". . . I don’t think that’s really going to fly with GOP voters this time around. I hope, at least."

I agree...tho for a kind of different reason. As I recall, Nixon got beat...disappeared for a time...then came back and won. So it is possible.

However, I don't care for some of Romney's positions on the issues; I could not care less about his (or any one else's) religion. That said....and assuming that most of the declared Republican and dem/lib/prog/pop voters usually vote the "party line"...the real question is:
Where do the Tea Party members and independent voters stand on this potential candidate?
Moreover, what will Mitt say or do to attract them to his "cause"?

Should be an interesting next two years for sure.

In the upcoming 2012 primary season, it may well come down to a Romney vs Palin scenario...and that would be extremely exciting if nothing else!

"National Guard Lt. Anthony Circosta poses in his backyard in Agawam, Mass., on June 9, 2007.
At left, his wife Danielle and daughter Kylie, 2, talk near the swing set. Circosta,
a decorated Iraq War veteran, seemed like an ideal candidate for a pardon from
then-Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for the 29-year-old's boyhood conviction
for a BB gun shooting. Romney denied the pardon,
twice, despite the recommendation of the Governor's Council.
"


versus

"Governor Orders POW/MIA Flags Flown for Former Prisoners of War Recognition Day"

"Office of the Governor of the State of Alaska ^ | 04-09-09 | Gov. Sarah Palin
April 9, 2009, Juneau, Alaska – Governor Sarah Palin today signed a proclamation declaring April 9, 2009,
as Former Prisoners of War Recognition Day. The governor has ordered POW/MIA flags
to be flown in honor and memory of American men and women
who have placed themselves in harm’s way and faced the horrors of combat."
“The price paid by POW/MIA soldiers in defense of liberty is worthy of our highest
gratitude and most solemn remembrance,” Governor Palin said.
“On this day and always, they are in our thoughts and prayers. We will never forget them or their service.”

Here is the unvarnished truth...

IF, the C suckers in the GOP nominate Romney (or any other GD RINO M’er F’er) to be the candidate then this nation will NOT survive.

GOT THAT?
Is there a way I can make it even more clear?
Is ANYONE still confused about this?
IS there anyone who thinks there is still “wiggle” room to elect a POS RINO?

Very simply put... The GOP nominates a “Tea Party” “extreme” Conservative or I, and millions of others, will NOT F’ing vote for the GOP candidate. even if that means the the marxist wins another 4 years.

Is that F’ing clear?
