Are you saying that Jim Robinson is a liar?

Purpose of FR and why we can never support Mitt Romney

It is going to be amusing to see the contortions people are going to go through, here and elsewhere, to justify supporting Romney in the general election. Just watch.

**********************

Amusing, in what way? Because watching our country being destroyed is just so very droll?

Anyone but Obama is a step forward.

**************************

Mitt is not "anyone". He's not even a moderate, as he proved here in Massachusetts.

Gingrich, Santorum, Perry, and possibly even crazy Ron Paul are a step forward from Obama, but Romneycare is what Obama based Obamacare on. Imho, there's no "step forward" there.

Tell where Romney differs ideologically with Obama.
Bail outs........
But he’s not my first pick.

Hey...I’m not happy about it. Just pointing out that sticking to principles is not optional. When we take the “pragmatic” route, and compromise those principles, we usually lose more than we gain.

Not saying that. Just saying when it comes down to Romney vs. Obama (and that seems to be the pre-determined-by-the-GOP-establishment outcome), it’s going to be awfully hard to resist getting on the bandwagon.

It will be “amusing” but you’re not happy about it?

I disagree with you, and history is my evidence. RINO’s take the backward step slower than Dems, but that inevitably leads to a Dem. Nixon/Ford led to Carter, Bush 41 to Clinton, and Bush 43 to Obama.

If a Republican even nibbles on the apple of liberalism. We’re toast, and I see every one of the Republican candidates nibbling on some part of that cursed fruit.

Don’t flatter yourself. While you may be easily amused, you are not in the least amusing.

You don’t think Newst’s a RINO? Well, some of the time, he sounds like a conservative, some of the time he sounds like he’s OWS. And that’s only since he’s been running for President. There was his love fest with Nancy Pelosi and Global Warming. What’s he going to claim to believe next week, or next year. GWB claimed to be a conservative, albeit a compassionate one, and we got dramatic increases in Federal interference in our lives. Why should I trust Newt? Why should I believe he’s a conservative?

Makes no difference as long as both his parents were American citizens at the time of his birth. Is that not the case? Am I mistaken?

I haven’t read the basis of the challenge in the courts. I’ve been sick so haven’t read a lot.
