I used to respect your perspectives at FR. Now, not so much. The establishment Republican leadership are forcing the insideous Mitt Romney down the throats of tea partiers because the establishment fears the rise of the Tea Party. Do the leadership of the gop actually want to win because of nominating a conservative, or because they see little barry bastard as so vulnerable that they now see their chance to install yet the final big government 'moderate' of their non-conservative wet dreams? I believe it is the latter and your defense of that position is very disappointing.

One last thought for you: whom will moderate Catholics vote for, not against but for, when they are informed of the blasphemies and heresies at the heart of MormonISM and learn the true perspective by which Catholics are viewed by LDS inc followers? If nominated, Mitt Romney will get approximately 30% of the votes needed to beat little barry bastard commie. So concentrate on down ticket tea partiers in order to save this nation from the final assault Obama and his communist Cloward-Piven squad will mount the next four years.

>>I’ll vote for Obama, just to make a statement.<<

What’s interesting is, according to some looney, demented logic, you probably consider yourself heroic...

while others who want to do everything in their Constitutional power (via the ballot box) to stop get the America-hating, Whitey-hating, Constitution-shredding, missile-defense-depleting, liberty-killing tyrant from occupying the White House one more second than possible (such as Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, etc. etc.), are demonized.

This is getting way beyond ridiculous. Shame on you.

Romney might have a chance against him, but “historic black” can’t be beaten by “rich-guy white” when all their other policies are exactly the same.

Heck, Romney couldn't even beat "old dried-up white guy" in the last primary race. He doesn't stand a chance against Obama, because politically, he's his mirror image.

New was also in favor of TARP, his reasons were sound but he was in favor of TARP. And I agree, Ron Paul should have a column. What’s the point if all serious candidates are not listed?

I've seen more intelligent trolls zotted for less than that.

Absolutely. This one's begging to ride the lightning. And gleeful about it, too.

To support a pro-abort, homosexualist chameleon solely because he might not be as bad as Øbama is the height of cowardice and displays conduct unworthy of a Christian.

Accordingly, I shall not vote for R0mney.

Ever.

Folks who don't like that can KMA.

We can’t shut down Obama with control of only the House. There’s little reason to try. The House vote to repeal/defund Obamacare was nothing more than symbolic. Nothing we pass gets through the Senate. If we control both houses of Congress by a large majority, we can “run the table” on Obama and his thugs. We can even put some of them in jail where they belong.

The reason Holder refuses to answer for Fast & Furious, does nothing about the NBPP’s 10k bounty on GZ and turns a blind eye to ACORN/SEIU voter fraud is because we can’t impeach AND convict him without control of the Senate.

Newt spoke out very harshly against TARP on Hannity (it’s on YouTube) when it was introduced. He recommended an entirely different plan and approach. But he said he would have voted for it if he was in Congress, because that was the only choice available and he didn’t want to do nothing. Not really relevant because he explained how if he was in charge, it would have been a very different plan.

Oh, yes ...

I'm voting for Newt in the upcoming WV primary.

What I'll do in November remains to be determined. Some things I won't do in November are already determined.

Invest in a LOT of lead and brass, and be prepared to die for your country.

Another load of steaming crap from a Romney proponent.

The use of extreme exaggeration and hyperbole seems to be a required characteristic for Romney supporters.

Awesome quote from Pope Leo XIII!

The whole idea of supporting the lesser of two evil’s is unChristian. Voting for the lesser of two evils just illustrates the weakness of faith in this country.

From the words of the late Bishop Fulton Sheen...

“human life is reduced to real suffering, to hell when two ages, two cultures and two religions overlap... There are times when a whole generation is caught up in this way between two ages, two modes of life, with the consequence that it loses all power to understand itself, and has no standard or security, no simple acquiescence.”

Jim,

You made my list look paltry and extremely un-researched by comparison.

My hats off to you!
