The GOP is a centrist party.

Decade after decade , expecting it to become a right wing party is a lot easier than starting a new party.

You’re on the wrong forum for Romney defense, my friend. I don’t know where the pro-Romney discussion forum is but this is most defintitely not it.

I’ve been on here three years and I’m still far too new to go rocking the boat here. You’ve been here a whopping two days and you’re asking to be banned with this post of yours.

Your first reaction to my post here will probably not be too great, but do appreciate that I’m offering the information to you as a fellow newbie on the forum.

Get off of it. Romney is going to be the candidate whether we like it or not. Whatever his positions, I can’t worry about them. I just want Obama out! I would vote for Elmer Fudd if he was running. Face reality for God’s sake!

This is the point where the Malignant Bastard and architect of failure will rush to his whiteboard on Fox News to explain to us peons how elections work. Having captured the conservative base in the primaries, Romney will now have to move left to attract the minorities, the hispanics, the women, the seniors, the students, the disadvantaged, the moderates, the independents, the squishy middle, the unemployed, the underemployed, the helpless middle class, those who cannot help themselves, the sick and dying, etc, because “everyone” knows you can’t win elections by being an unabashed constitution supporting patriotic traditional American conservative. Romney can now safely revert back to being the big government socialist/progressive he’s always been.

Well, golly. He's acting like the certified nominee, while I remain praying for Divine Intervention.

I reckon the folks who have already decided ABO are fine with the fraud saying anything and catering to the squishy, middle and to those who depend upon big government, (bless their hearts) never dreaming that Romney just might mean what he's saying to those groups.

“Okay, let me get this straight. Some turd from the Brookings Institute claims this, offers absolutely no proof and this is valid simply because everyone hates Romney.

Despite the history of the Brookings Institute.

Ooooookay!”

Don't pop their little “another excuse to hate Romney even more badder” bubble.

A one party system of two Socialist parties..... Time for a Second Party.

Indeed...the call is not for a third Party as some suppose...they've already united the parties of the Elite as one and the same....the call is for a second party to oppose them.

Excitable, aren't you?? I don't take orders well, especially from Romney supporters on an internet forum.

I suggest you stay indoors and pull down the shades

This weekend-see post #8.

The only conservatives that Romney can throw under the bus is those who will hold their noses and vote for him. The rest of us are smart enough to read the writing on the wall and get away from this liar.

The only thing worse than a Romney supporter, IMHO, is the Paultards that are starting to come out of the woodwork on here again.

With Romney, Paul and Obama as our choices I think I’ll vote for Jack Daniels and write in Sarah Palin. At least I can vote for all the conservatives I can for House, Senate and local government. I just hope that’s enough to hold back the oil slick of slime that comes from these three candidates.

...."The two major political parties are hell bent and riding hard to strengthen their grip on unconstitutional power..... The GOP-e can hardly wait to strip the pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-liberty, pro-borders planks from its platform.... Romney is their ticket to get it done.

If staunch pro-life, pro-liberty, pro-gun, pro-borders, pro-small government conservatives can be turned, then obviously these principles are no longer a serious threat to the usurpers. DO NOT LET THEM TURN YOU!!

Do not let them do this... Do not give Romney and the GOP-e a mandate to chuck the life, family, small government and liberty planks from the platform!!....

You know Romney's record. And you know he's lying about any conservative conversion. He is no conservative, never has been, never will be, but has always been a liberal/progressive/statist bald-faced liar and petty tyrant. RomneyCare is tyranny! Government sanctioned/forced abortion, same sex marriage, gun control, crony capitalism, etc, all positions Romney has advocated for, are tyranny.

Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God......We are the resistance!! And perhaps the last line of resistance. ..

I detest Romney as much as anyone but come on, try freaking harder okay? Don’t let your hate reduce your intellectual standards.

I hate Romney with the power of 1,000 suns but I refuse to lower myself to the level of a drooling neanderthal in trying to tear him apart. He’ll do fine with that all by himself.

This is akin to posting a Mother Jones article that uses the DNC as a source for their story.

Folks like Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin.

I trust their ethics judgement and morals.
