Such a staunch conservative, that one. Of course, you'll be happy when Romney names DeMint as his VP.
Boss man himself took care of the PDS problem ;)
No, we wont. You are as much the PDSer as MrZot.
“How can she go from endorsing a conservative like Rick Perry to supporting a McCain like RINO like Romney”
Perry is not a conservative. He plays one on TV. He will say anything to get elected.
ROMNEY IS DOA in terms of the nomination.
He needs to get a different hobby.
January 8, 2007
Dear Fellow Republican,
I’m writing to ask for your support of Governor Mitt Romney for President. Over the next 10 years, America will face unprecedented challenges. We must elect a President in 2008 who is up to the task, and I need you to encourage Mitt to run.
The threat of terrorism will continue to grow. America’s energy needs will increase, and so will our dependence on foreign oil. The number of retirees will increase dramatically, and without major reforms, the future of Social Security and Medicare will be in peril. Without strong leadership, illegal immigration will continue to cost American taxpayers billions of dollars. America’s education system and global competitiveness will continue to decline without major changes. I believe Governor Romney will provide the leadership America needs to meet this new generation of challenges.
America’s success and strength emanate from the private sector: traditional faith-based values, families, churches, volunteerism and free enterprise. We must elect a President who understands the strength of America. Governor Romney has spent most of his life outside of government. He has been a successful businessman and national leader. As governor, he has taken Massachusetts from large debts to surpluses while holding the line on taxes. He has been married to his wife Ann for 37 years; they have 5 boys and 10 grandchildren. Their lives reflect the best of America’s traditions and values.
Governor Romney has helped to start and manage national and international companies. He understands the global economy, capital formation and the need to make America more competitive. When the nation needed him to save the failing and bankrupt 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, Mitt Romney volunteered to take over the leadership of an event which was headed towards a national embarrassment. He served for over two years with no salary and even contributed Senator Jim DeMint $1 million of his own money to make sure the Olympics went forward. His leadership resulted in one of the most successful Olympics in history. Mitt Romney made America proud.
As Governor he faced down a $3 billion deficit and balanced the budget. He passed innovative health care reforms and education scholarships based on achievement. He fought an activist state court that imposed same-sex marriage on the people of his state and he championed the Federal Marriage Amendment. Once again, he did not take a salary for his public service as Governor.
We need a President who will welcome new ideas and yet knows when to take charge – someone who will call on America’s strengths and provide leadership for the new generation of challenges we face. I believe Governor Romney will be the kind of President who will inspire Americans to reach higher because he shares our goals:
American Security
Governor Romney has innovative ideas about how to adapt our military, Special Forces, intelligence services, and defense technologies to protect America from future terrorist attacks. He believes in peace through strength. He also supports the right of law-abiding individuals to protect themselves in their homes; he will be a strong defender of the second amendment and will protect our right to “bear arms.”
I support Governor Romney because he believes we need to achieve operational control of America’s borders, issue fraud-proof worker identification cards, and implement an enforceable legal immigration system. He does not believe that people who come to the U.S. illegally are entitled to a special right to citizenship.
American Competitiveness
We must guarantee that America is the best place in the world to invest capital and operate a business. I support Governor Romney because he will make America’s education and workforce development system the best in the world. He understands that by streamlining our tax code and legal and regulatory systems, America will become the best place in the world to do business.
American Independence
America should not be dependent on unreliable countries for our energy needs. I support Governor Romney because he believes we need to make America independent of foreign sources of oil. We must protect our freedom by taking our resources out of the hands of hostile regimes and using them instead to build our economy at home. Through conservation and the development of alternative fuels, America can be independent of oil from the Middle East, Venezuela, and other unreliable suppliers.
American Values
Governor Romney has exemplified the moral leadership that must be the hallmark of an American President. He knows that traditional values begin with doing the right thing; saying what you mean and meaning what you say; and keeping your promises. He strongly believes that America must keep its promises to seniors before we make new promises that we can’t afford. Governor Romney has the vision and the courage to reform Social Security and Medicare for the next generation while guaranteeing promised benefits to today’s seniors. He knows that doing the right thing means that every American must have access to quality healthcare. He passed such a plan as Governor and would support other innovative state and federal solutions, rejecting an unworkable “one-size-fits-all” approach. I support Governor Romney because he believes all Americans should have a health plan that they can afford, own and keep.
Governor Romney is strongly pro-life. He will be a great asset to the cause of life because he has done something that we must convince many other Americans to do; he has changed his mind. After reviewing new scientific data, he is absolutely convinced that human life begins at conception. He will work to protect the lives of mothers and babies. He will also support promising adult stem cell research while maintaining the ban on federal funding of research that involves the killing of human embryos.
Governor Romney is opposed to same-sex marriages and civil unions. He supports a Federal Marriage Amendment that protects traditional marriage. He believes in the equal rights of every American, but does not believe activist judges should be making the law in these areas. He also rejects government promotion of the homosexual lifestyle.
Governor Romney believes that American values should include the end of wasteful government spending and the elimination of the huge debts that our children should not be forced to pay. He also believes that preserving our environment is an important American value and a tangible legacy for future generations.
I believe that Governor Romney can restore America’s leadership at home and around the world. Too often, career politicians who have spent their lives in government, turn first to government solutions. And too often, well-intentioned government solutions have only made our problems worse. As a leader who has spent most of his life in the private sector, Governor Romney will call on America’s strength and character to solve problems and secure our future.
I Need Your Help! Governor Romney has organized an exploratory committee to promote his vision and goals for America and to gauge support for his potential candidacy. I believe that he is exactly the leader America needs to secure our future. Americans are tired of the same old ideas that keep coming out of Washington. They are hungry for a leader who will draw on America’s strength. I would like Governor Romney to know that key Republicans like you want him to run for President. If you agree with me, please use the enclosed replycard to let me know. I will personally hand deliver all of these cards to Governor Romney.
Sincerely, Jim DeMint
""I endorsed Romney last time, and I think he's a good candidate," DeMint said. "I'm not going to hold any one or two things against a candidate that they've done. I've had some bum votes in my life." ~ Jim DeMint, July 7, 2011
What other choice did she have? Without John McCain choosing her for his VP, there wouldn't be a Sarah Palin; she'd still be an unknown. McCain's choosing her put her in the national spotlight for the first time, and in a BIG way. I love her politics and her strength, but before McCain chose her I never even heard of her, and neither did most other non Alaskans. If she didn't support McCain it likely would have ruined her career, she would have been painted as an ungrateful, back-stabbing, selfish politician, and she knew it. Rejecting the man who made her a national commodity just woudn't have set well with people, and the driveby media would have never let anyone forget her "ungratefulness" to the man who helped bring her the fame she now enjoys.
Total agreement. All hail the ZOT! ;)
I think my post was plain enough. Her ‘support’ will boil down to observing Reagan’s 11th Commandment, and not running against the GOP candidate in the event the United States is reduced to choosing between Obama and Romney.
Personally I think this line of thinking is obsolete, but then I am not a Republican politician who still has bridges which are not yet burnt.
Then perhaps you should see why ejdrapes was zotted. You push Romney, you go bye bye.
I am an Anybody But Obama Voter. Four more years of Obama all but guarantees a 5/4 if not a 6/3 SCOTUS advantage of Liberal Jurists that will destroy this country.
The Republican gets my Vote, no matter who it is. The time for arguing for a particular Candidate is in the Primaries, not the General Election. It's good(R) versus evil(D) to me.
It appears Jim disagrees, so be it.
I agree. If Mr. Robinson would prefer to turn this into nothing but a Palin lovefest forum with no dissenting opinions, he can go ahead and zot me too.

She will support the party nominee. I will too. Romney isn’t my choice but if he is the nominee I’ll support him. Alternative is to support Barry or else stay home and not vote, both of which are the same. All I can do now is hope we have a strong candidate.
Then ping him and explain your position. Did you not read what this site is about when you joined up?
I saw nowhere that ejdrapes was pushing Romney
I suspect that these PDSers are really Romney supporters. They cannot push Romney on FR, so instead they just try to cut down Sarah in every thread.
You won't even miss the 25 or 50 cents you put in a FR Change Jar, but at the end of the month you will have at least $5 to donate so FR can operate smoothly, or you will moan and grown and go into withdrawal when it is down, because of broken parts, or over loaded servers during crisis events. And every day 0 remains in office is a crisis.

Hey hypocritical fanatic...

“Yeah, and too bad Fox failed to mention, as ejdrapes, that she jumped on the phone and immediately admonished the Romney loving journalist who misquoted her.”
Fox is into Romney like the dinosaur media is into Obama. They played footsie with him in ‘08. They under his table now.
