I’m not pimping for Romney, I honestly hate the guy. I was a Cain supporter way back when.
But. I believe Romney and Santorum have the best chance against 0 with Romney doing a little better. Even with all the negatives. Romney is better than Obama. It’s a fact, because noone is as bad as 0. I miss Hillary when I think of that man.
Why is it I have such a hard time believing you? I also supported Cain. I don’t particularly agree with Newt or Santorum, but at least they both understand conservatism. In our primary, I was still going to vote for Cain, but when I saw all the lies coming from Mitt’s people and all the trashing he was doing of Newt, I voted for him as the anti-Mitt candidate in our primary. If I had been in Michigan subjected to all of the Santorum trashing coming from Mitt, I would have voted for Santorum. As a conservative, I can support either Newt or Santorum. Mitt Romney is a liberal and a socialist and will never have my support. But it seems you have been convinced by the GOP-E that he can win, when nothing could be further from the truth.
Obama and the democrats have been preparing for years to run against him. They knew even before we realized that the fix was in so that Romney would win. Now it is playing out in front of our eyes, every rule change, every vote count in his favor whether he actually won or not. The democrats are ready. Occupy wall street was specifically set up as the foundation to defeating Romney.
You must be one of the misguided people in the South who have no idea about Romney’s liberal background. Once the DNC makes his liberal background known, conservatives in the South will not vote for him. How many people down in Georgia do you know would vote for a man who started gay marriage in this country, who laid out the blue print for Obamacare, who set up a program that allows people to abort their babies for free? When they start letting people know what is in the book of Mormon, you’ll see more bible belt people come out to vote against him than you can imagine.
How do you live in the South and not know any of this? I was born in the South but I lived many years in NY. When I came back down here, the first thing I learned was they don’t like Mormons and believe me I was shocked at the intensity of that dislike.
You should also know that the base of republican power is the South. Romney can’t win in the South now. What do you think will happen after the democrats trash him like he’s been trashing the conservatives in the race? The conservatives will be demoralized. The dems will be able to use Mitt’s own mouth to prove their case. Without the South, no republican can win. That is a fact. The only areas of strength Romney has is in tiny electoral states like Utah and urban areas, where he has no chance because Obama will clean up. It will be a blood bath, an electoral slaughter. The scale of the loss will make it look like Obama is one of the most beloved presidents in history.
I don’t want to see that happen. I have to wonder, why you do.
