With the Republican primary contest over and the general election underway,

Joe, you're a dumbass. There are three people in the race for the Republican nomination.

The statistics presented in this article speak volumes to why Romney doesn't stand a chance against nobama.

I have no reason to engage a debate with Romney supporters because they all think the same:

“Either you vote for Bullsh*t or you’re going to get Chicken sh*t.”

I say to Romney supporters:

“Eat Sh*t and Die!”

The Conservative Cause is clearly served by an Obama re-election rather than a Romney win.

A Right leaning/Conservative Congress can easily remain united behind an Obama re-election....whereas the same Congress will be sliced and diced by the RINOS if Romney is in the White House.

The Powers That Be fully understand this....

I am not a Romney supporter.

You, however, are a very nasty, very self-righteous, very narcissistic di*k.

You know, I understand a lot of this fury at Romney. Only I had this fury at the GOP establishment months and months ago when no really great candidate made an appearance. I supported Cain, not believing he could win. I supported Gingrich and voted for him in the primaries. I supported Santorum.

The Establishment has done Romney to us the same way they did McCain to us in 08.

But are you really joining forces with SALON lowlife Joe Conason?

How much of this anti-Romney passion is really conservative?

And how much of it comes from Democrat shills planted here on FR? I think that's something we should be alert to. Some of what I read from people I suspect have misappropriated FR memberships from departed FReepers is starting to sound like, "don't donate to Romney" --

Obama is not raising the money he expected. At what point are we just Obama's dupes?

Do you really, really, really think Obama is no worse than Romney?

As a Conservative, I’m disgusted with Romney as the nominee. He will never get Dem votes, and he won’t get a high percentage of Conservative votes either, since he isn’t Conservative.

I won’t vote for him, because I have standards. I could vote for Paul, and possibly Gingrich, but not Romney.

These are my own issues with Romney....He believes in nothing, he has no personality, and he has no clue, about anything.

While he may end up being “the lesser of two evils”, he is still evil.

I do think Romney could win, if he CONSTANTLY gets the message out about all the lies Obama has told, and how many promises he has broken, but he will have to be relentless, and I don’t see that in him.

AMERICA!

At this point, ABO is the best we can do.

At this point, 'anyone' is not the BEST. Newt is! America DESERVES and warrants the BEST. It cannot survive without it now.

I prefer hearing it as it is and not sugar coated. No PC dwells in a conservative - just the bold hard facts.

I didn’t see that it was posted approvingly. But this is how the other side actually sees Romney. We ignore it at our peril.

Especially, since we seem to be outnumbered.

We have proof class warfare practiced by a demogogue can get you elected.

What a stupid statement. Go ahead and waste your vote on Paul and enjoy BHO for another 4 years.

I am surprised Rasmussen is publishing a column based on a CNN poll.

I looked for the “internals” on the Republican/Democrat/Independent breakdown on that poll and was unable to find them, though I did find what CNN implied was a pdf file thereof.

“A Right leaning/Conservative Congress can easily remain united behind an Obama re-election....whereas the same Congress will be sliced and diced by the RINOS if Romney is in the White House.”

Assumption #1: Congress will unite against Obama after his election. The likely reality will be Romney's campaign will be such a debacle that he will take out Senate and House Repubs and give Obama full control of congress again. (Wanna guess who the RINOs will blame? Bingo! The Conservatives who wouldn't back Mittens.)

Assumption #2: The Republican Congress will not oppose Romney. Whether Obama or Romney wins, it will not matter if the Republicans have both houses of Congress. Should the Republicans hold the House and take the Senate, they will still be run by RINOs and will fold like houses of cards when confronted by Obama (or Romney). These power hungry scum don't give a damn about Americans no matter who's POTUS. To block POTUS’ power grab you need leaders with cajones and NO ONE in the so-called “leadership” has shown any sign. “Go along, get along” is the prevailing attitude.

the worst rating for a likely presidential nominee in a Post/ABC poll since 1984.

Worse than Fritz? That is quite an achievement Milt.

"Among voters with annual household incomes lower than $50,000, Obama leads by 29 points. Among the young, who now tend to be in debt, without jobs or both, Obama leads by 36 points. Among married women, Obama is ahead by 20 points. But among unmarried women, his lead grows to 45 points."

The simple truth here is that Romney tells the facts factually 95% of the time while Obama is almost wholly mendacious, careless about facts and uses a Teleprompter because of he can't keep track of what he is promising or why. The useful idiots don't care about country or truth...they want handouts/entitlements for life.

"Apparently, I’m supposed to be more outraged by what Mitt Romney does with his money than by what Barack Obama does with mine."

Ok, just what does he believe in? He has changed his position on almost everything. He can’t connect with people, that is true whether you admit it or not.

The old “cut taxes on job creators” just won’t cut it anymore. He refuses to be specific about anything and that’s not going to win him any votes either.

As for wasting my vote and giving obama 4 more years, I’m fine with that. If Obama wins we’ll be that much closer to armed rebellion, which is the exact thing this nation needs. There is no other way to end the corruption in DC, period.

He doesn't seem to understand that his inconstancy forfeits more respect than any disagreeable opinion would.

Compare him to Giuliani, Romney is repulsive, oily, Gollum like.

While we see them both as political threats. enemies in a political sense, most of us kind of like Giuliani when he isn't a threat to us nationally, and we are not surprised that he and Palin are friends.

Romney disturbs people at a deep, instinctual level, like snakes do.
