Alternate Title: Socialists in Michigan Throw Support to the Republican Socialist Instead of The Democrat Socialist.
What is “shocking?”
Romney won the Republican Primary Election and he is now a coin-flip ahead of Obama? DUMP ROMNEY!
By the time we were “allowed” to vote in Texas, 7 of the 9 Candidates had dropped out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STUPID Primary Election system!
But I digress.
The facts today are different from the facts in January. ONLY an OPEN Convention can realistically evaluate all the facts in a cohesive manner.
Allow me to state my case in this manner:
The IDEA is to beat Obama convincingly. Forget about your favorite politician, and focus on the IDEA of beating Obama.
The REPUBLICAN Primary Candidates have proven that NONE of THEM can fight their way out of a wet paper bag!
The REPUBLICAN Primary was merely a test run to the GENERAL NATIONAL ELECTION.
REALITY CHECK: NONE OF THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY CANDIDATES CAN BEAT OBAMA IN NOVEMBER.
Given that reality, let us learn from the lessons of History, insist that the Convention delegates vote to ABSTAIN (=None of the above), OPEN the Tampa Convention to discussion and chose the Candidate that CAN beat Obama.
Why is this so hard?
We owe NO loyalty to ANY of our Primary Candidates.
We owe NO loyalty to the Primary Election results.
We owe no loyalty to the RINO Wing of the Republican Party.
We owe loyalty ONLY to what is best for the United States of America, and that , IMHO, is to CONVINCINGLY DEFEAT OBAMA in November.
In 2008 we accepted the RINO Primary BS on McCain, shame on them.
In 2012 if we accept the RINO Primary BS on Romney, shame on us.
BTW, for all of you that consider Romney to be THE guy, just answer this question:
” What will Romney have to do to keep from being DUMPED at the Tampa Convention?”
It is worse than that. The same voters were telling the exit pollsters that it wa a 50/50 split on the governors ticket. Do you think they might have mis-led the pollsters on the presidential ticket too???
“.....Obama is despised”....???
Why are all the polls still telling us how much no one likes GWBush, yet Obama is still liked?
My theory is that the stupid MSM has used the race card so often whenever anyone says they are not for Obama - that any poll on the subject of Obama’s favorability is hopelessly skewed by about 15-20 points. Regarding GWB, the constant pounding from the MSM against his reputation can account for about 10 points in the negative column.
Last week’s White House photos of the unveiling of the portraits of George and Laura Bush demonstrated how much superior GWB’s personality is than that of the current occupant of the WH.
Hussein is going to need a serious job offer/opportunity well before election day so he can appear to already have other “great” opportunities on the table.
LOL, Mitt might offer him Secretary of State.
Is Mitt REALLY going to fire all the Hussein-head appointees and Clintonistas????
The last Republican president refused to clean house....
” - - - WHY?”
Because in 2008 RINO McCain gave us Obama, and in 2012 RINO Romney will give us Obama, again.
BTW, this time Obama is the INCUMBENT.
My biggest fear was that Romney didn’t have the balls to do what was going to be required to defeat Obama, those fears are mostly gone, now, as he keeps proving that he IS NOT McCAIN, and this isn’t 2008, anymore.
Having Romney win this election is going to make the GOPe even more powerful. I guarantee they put Bloomberg as our Republican nominee next time. The way the Republicans are going they just might run on the platform of smaller sized sodas are good for the kids....seriously this is frightening how many people are loving this liberal candidate Romney....
I agree. I tend to think Romney might win by a landslide... imho
He is not trolling. He is being 100 percent Honest and you thinking that Romney is the next Ronald Reagan is disgusting. How dispicable are you to compare Romney with Reagan. You liberal freaks are killing the party. Get off of Free Republic....The perfect website for you is DU or some moderate at best website. You are DEFINITELY NOT A CONSERVATIVE if you believe that Romney is the next Reagan. You are 100 percent delusional....I am keeping your stupid post so when Romney does something liberal (which he will), I am forwarding your post to you. That is if you are still here.
” - - - this isn’t 2008, anymore.”
Hmmmmmmmm - - - , really?
Lemme see now, in 2008 RINO McCain stated that he would not discuss anything about Obama that occurred before Obama became the Junior Senator from Illinois.
In 2012 RINO Romney stated that Incumbent Obama’s legal eligibility for office would not be discussed.
What happened in the past, stays in the past, (wink, wink).
I guess it all depends on how strongly a RINO wants to lose.
RINO Romney gets extra credit in the losing department, as he is the unrepentant Godfather of Obama”care.”
The RINOs sure can pick ‘em!
George Bush was the last Republican to win Michigan in 1988.
This is great news..
I take this to mean Romney is ahead in Ohio and also within the margin of error in PA.
I deal in realville not fantasyland. You can either vote for Obama or Romney. Any other choice is the same as not voting. That is just the way it is whether you or I like it or not.
Oh, stop the hyperbole. You sound like a child.
I didn’t compare Romney to Reagan (unless English isn’t your first Language)
Romney WILL do something Liberal. So did REAGAN, if you recall (remember the tax increases? The Social Security Bailout? Illegal Alien Amnesty? Regan’s support of the Brady Act? Etc??
Please, by all means, feel free to blow your hyperbole out of the orifice of your choice.
” - - - - They’re dying for Mittens to get the nomination ... “
If Romney was DUMPED in an OPEN Convention in Tampa, and a Dark Horse Conservative was Nominated - - - - - !
Oh me, oh my ! All of the Axelrod-Obama destruction plans would go up in smoke!
All that expense! All that planning! All those hours wasted, totally wasted! Oh- - - the humanity!
“Celestial God-Child from Planet Kolob”
Take that kind of crap back with you to DAILY KOS.
“They’re dying for Mittens to get the nomination ...”
He already has the nomination. What now?
