"Uncommitted" Dick Morris - a deadlocked convention makes the case to back Mitt Romney

Live Dash Transcript ^ | March 1, 2012 | Dick Morris on Greta Van Susteren

[LibLieSlayer]

I will write in Sarah Palin if mitt is the nominee... ON MY SACRED HONOR! Even Rush will not be able to sway me... and if mitt gets the nod... Rush will try. Sorry El Rushbo... many of us will vote... but we will write in our choice for president if mitt the commie is our choice.

I SLAM the phone down when toe sucker’s people call for $$$$$$

They haven't called me for quite some time :).

Now the GOP is calling. I tell them what I think about how they've handled things and that I will not give them money (I give my opinion immediately upon hearing who's calling) that I will give to the Republican Governor's Association and to candidates of my choosing but NOT to them.

[PalmettoMason]

I’m still waiting for the Condi vs. Hillary contest, Dick.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

The GOP thinks they can isolate the base in that frog pot; keep hitting the conservatives running and take them out one by one with their cycle of praise to divide and conquer, attack and then ignore or dismiss with contempt and then describe as flailing, employ news blackouts and eventually decry them as spoilers who will get Obama reelected.

But we don’t have to buy their line of bs, follow their lead or listen to their lies.

[CitizenUSA]

Happy Rain: “OUR CANDIDATE IS A PERFIDIOUS FLIP-FLOPPING MEAN-SPIRITED CRYPTO-COMMIE SOB WITH ALL THE CHARM, GRACE AND CHARISMA OF RAT DUNG..............but he is better than Obama.”

You sure convinced me. Mitt, Mitt, Mitt! Go Mitt! Mitt may be flip-flopping, anti-conservative scum, but at least he’s our scum!

(Now I’m going to crawl away and be sick...)

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I’m still waiting for the Condi vs. Hillary contest, Dick.

NO kidding!

[Bailee]

Agree, Except this hick town doesnt allow write ins or didnt at last election.

FIL always said we need to have write in or at least give us the option of voting for “None of the Above”.

[Caipirabob]

00:17:04 And if we don't get a nominee by may or june, we can kiss our chances against obama goodbye. .....

Why? If we have a late selection for a candidate, it narrows down the rats time to destroy them.

I'd rather give them a moving target they can't lock on to until it's too late.

They are going to have billions in their war chest to destroy opponents. Why even give them a target?

The fact is, people will vote on gas prices, groceries, home values and the perceived economy, not the one the leftist failures try to sell them.

Obama's a goner when this happens.

This is why we defeat snippymcmittcare now. The winner of the primary is the next president.

I am not a fan of Romney. (Cain was my man). But, I will tell you what I say to other cranky freepers and the trolls that populate the site, “If you cannot make a distinction between Romney and Obama, you should face the distinct possiblity that you are either intellectually incapable or volitionally unwilling to make distinctions”.

Vote out the Kenyan Communist!

[mkjessup]

Under no conditions will I vote for Romney, none.

DITTO. If 0bama wins re-election, America will continue to have that bottle labeled 'socialism' poured down it's throat, if Romney wins, we still get socialism, but served up in exquisite crystal goblets (with complimentary golden underwear).

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Excellent points.

Give your head a shake. The only true “distinction” between 0bama and 0Romney is that one has a slightly darker tan than the other.

If you need further qualification, I submit to you the wise words of our Founder:

"Free Republic is a pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-small government, pro-constitution, pro-liberty site. Governor Romney is none of the above. His record is that of an abortionist, gay rights pushing, gun grabbing, global warming advocating, big government, mandate loving, constitution trampling, flip-flopping liberal progressive with no core values. That and the fact that he is the chief architect and advocate for ObamaCare disqualifies him for any consideration whatsoever on Free Republic as a potential nominee for the presidency."

Happy to be of help in getting your mind right there FRiend.

[Caipirabob]

Thank you, I wish I was as optimistic as I may have sounded when making them... Cheers!

. But, I will tell you what I say to other cranky freepers and the trolls that populate the site, “If you cannot make a distinction between Romney and Obama, you should face the distinct possiblity that you are either intellectually incapable or volitionally unwilling to make distinctions”.

The time to make that assertion (with which I disagree) is AFTER the primary. Our job is to get rid of Romney, or the Republican party will shove Romneys down our throat in saecula saeculorum.

AFTER the convention, Freepers will split among those who believe that the republic cannot survive another four years of Obama, but can survive four years of Romney; those who believe that there will be a collapse under either, and may as well have the blame where it belongs; and those who believe a collapse may or may not happen under either, but want a true two party system, not a bi-partite one party system based on who's getting the goodies and spending the money alone.

THAT is the time to make the case for Romney as a lesser evil (but still evil), and not a moment before.

[McGruff]

And if we don't get a nominee by may or june, we can kiss our chances against obama goodbye. .....

BS!

[TShaunK]

You are exactley right if you can’t tell the difference between Romney and Obama you need serious help.

Romney is a good man. So is Rick.Newt well, is the smartest of the bunch.
Any one of these guys I am voting for over Obama without any hesitation.
People are going to find out Mitt is a hell of a lot better than McCain and will side a hell of lot more closer to conservative principals than McCain ever will/would.
Mitt would also be twice the President the last republican president was intellectually and buisness wise.

[faucetman]

This is priceless! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kiaw0hgB-fg&feature=share)

Thanks for posting this! It was terrific!

GO NEWT!

[faucetman]

“Mitt would also be twice the President the last republican president was intellectually and business wise.”

HUH? What are you smoking? Dole = McCain = Romney.

George W. owned successful oil businesses and a pro baseball team.

Romney destroyed companies for enormous profit and managed the Olympics. The Olympics? I laugh every time this is mentioned. Mr. president, we just moved a tank battalion into Poland. So? Can you do a triple Lutz?

[faucetman]

I LOVE Dick Morris, I HATE Dick Morris. I love him when I agree with him, I hate him when I don’t. If you don’t like what he says, just wait .... and he will say what you do like.

Morris is so full of shite I don’t know why I listen to him. His predictions are very often, WRONG. President Hillary?

He is entertaining and convincing. He is also WRONG 50% of the time.
FUDM.

[xzins]

That was hysterical on Greta last night with Morris’ having to keep denying he supported Romney because he kept pushing Romney’s talking points.

I’m convinced the guy is a democrat. For that matter, Morris and Romney both.
