I am flabbergasted how we eat our own and take our primary battles to the general despite Palin, Gingrich, Santorum, Perry, and Cain all willing to campaign for Obama. This now ABO before our nation goes off a cliff.

There are only two choices left. Pick one.

Sorry, but the choices you declare are left are both disasters in the making.

There are other choices, they may not win, but at least I won't sacrifice my soul voting for a lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal like Mitt Romney.

Enough of this nonsense. We all had our primary favorites. Romney won and by any measure he’s way better than the Marxist in the White House. One more SCOTUS appointment like Kagan or Sotomayor and we have placed our nation toward an irreversible path of ruination. We don’t take primary battles to the general. Let’s not do Obama’s work and instead work to defeat the scoundrel and media favorite who was elected by Hollywood and their enablers.

Which makes you wonder how far the average I.Q. in this country has fallen over the past few years

The problem is not the decrease in I.Q. .... it's the increase in the 'E.Q.' (Entitlement Quotient).

My Mother always told me that by not making a choice, you are making a choice.

There are two choices left. That isn't an illusion, it is a reality. I don't like it, but it is what it is.

Do what you think is right my FRiend.

I will say it over and over, the Marxist have taken over education and media in America. I do not see how the country will recover.

Well, we just have to have the resolve to vow to get the media and education back. FR is media. So are other conservative sites. Soon, conservatives will get a conservative cable TV channel. Home schooling, private schools and getting involved in the public school system at the local level are good starts. It may take a generation but it must be done.

LoL, this piece of propaganda polled “adults” for crying out loud. Add 10% to the Romney total.

LOL...they sure did bury that little fact didn't they.

You had to go to the actual poll.

” - - - This now ABO before our nation goes off a cliff.”

America is broke.

After 60 % of each workday has expired or 1:48 PM, the US Federal government has to borrow money in order to complete the 8 hour work day.

Romney will continue to increase the amount of money that the US Federal Government will have to borrow from YOUR Grandchildren’s descendants.

It is all about the money, your grandchildren’s descendants money.

Since the smokescreen topics of “Jobs” and “The Economy” were the substitute topics for THE GIGANTIC NATIONAL DEBT, Romney never came up with a workable Federal Baseline, year to year, Spending Cut Plan.

We as a Nation of Responsible Adults can no longer afford to “get behind whoever the empty suit of the year is” and hope for the best. “By golly, it will be different THIS time! You just mark my words!” Is an insane way of trying to fail.

After a non-problem solving Primary, and >3 years of Obama’s incompetence and finantial disaster, the best the RINO Party can do is to continue to endorse, close ranks behind a Candidate who has not even won enough delagates by this late date in May to declare himself the Nominee. AND he is statistically tied with Obama in National Opinion Polls!

IF Romney is doing as poorly as I have described, THEN let us DUMP ROMNEY and choose a MUCH better Nominee. THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, if y’all doubt me then just read any thread on FR and count the number of FReeper voters who plan to sit on their hands instead of voting.

Blame, flame or shame all that you want to, but the fact remains Romney is a VERY weak Candidate for President, but would make a great Ambassador to the UN in President Allen West’s Administration.

And we are 6 months out.
Romney isnt even the nominee officially.


And that's the point. We need to show up AT THE TAMPA CONVENTION to turn this thing around.
A million or two of us there could change history.

Time for tea.

This poll is of adults, the numbers don’t mean a thing.

If nobody could beat Romney in the Primary, or even entered the Primary to try, why can/ should they now ?

And if you say it was “Romneys dirty tricks” then I hope he uses every single one of them on Obama. He was my last choice, well actually Obama is my last choice, but I will vote for the nominee. Primaries were held, people voted.

Reagan was supposedly losing by like 30 points at this time in 1980, wasn't he? ha! I think this stat is true, but I was 10 so maybe I remember it wrong. But a tie at this point is actually a + Romney big time. (Incumbency, recognition, etc)

Gov Palin can never run because as gov of AK should took on the powers to be. Established families and big corporations that controlled how things were done in AK. A gov from a small populated state gets crucified by the MSM (controlled by corporate America); establishment and elites. A lot of anger against a person whose political career is rather short compared to others. If you been around long enough you pick up on things like that and always wonder what is really going on behind the scenes. She is doing the right thing, use her media presence to move the GOP and earn good money while doing it.

I thought 1980 was a close race; the landslide was 1984.

“However, we need to admit that roughly 50/50 is the new norm in politics.”

You are right, but not because liberals and conservatives are split 50:50. Instead, this is the result of having only 2 parties; each one wants to take its base and add just enough from the middle to win 50.1% of the vote. Obama had to manufacture the “war on women” because without cutting some pieces from the middle he has little chance; there are not enough public school teachers, unassimilated permanently dependent minorities, and homosexual deviants to get him elected (that is his base). The Dems had to cripple the “white” birthrate by economic means in the hopes that the open borders policy will add enough in the “unassimilated permanently dependent minorities” category to bring them closer to 50% in their base (they were using blacks for this, until young whites started breeding in the same manner - they couldn’t deny them government benefits on skin color alone).

The media has been on the left’s side since Vietnam; it is only in the past 20 years or so that is was so open about it. There is no longer any pretense of impartiality.

The Obama Wall, just like the one between East and West Germany. It divides towns, families and faiths.
