Don’t believe that for a minute.

Don’t believe “what” for a minute? You must have posted your Post #19 to the wrong person. I said nothing in reference to what you posted.
We will have two choices in November, and two choices only. Romney was my fourth choice in the primaries - but given the nature of the challenges we will face on January 20, Mitt Romney might well turn out to be the right man for the job ahead. Let's compare:
- Newt Gingrich. Does a career academic and legislator like Newt possess the executive skills necessary to effectively turn around and run the world's biggest business?
- Rick Santorum. Like Newt, Santorum is a legislator who's never had the sole responsibility for running a large organization.
- Herman Cain. Herman is a proven turnaround executive, with a record second only to Romney's. But he didn't win.
- Rick Perry. Perry is a well-proven governor of a very large state, but he didn't win, either.
- Sarah Palin. Also a governor, with a good but brief track record - but she chose not to run.
Mitt Romney is our candidate. No "Richie Rich" slurs can erase his record as one of America's top business executives and leading turnaround specialists. To a dispassionate observer without emotional ties to any of the losing GOP candidates (like mine to Gingrich and Cain), it might seem that Providence has provided the right man for the job in Mitt Romney. What is certain is that Barack Obama is not.
It's time to get started. Let's vote.
Only liberals use that hateful rhetoric. You sure you are cheering for the right guy?
hmmmmmm....compared to Bob Dole, Jack Kemp, John McCain etc. , maybe he IS the most conservative. I thought Bush would be super sonservative, but I didn’t account for his mod. DEMOCRAT wife.....she might vote for a Bush, but I’ll bet she votes for every other Democrat. Nice Lady, but LIBERAL if you ask me....and she gave him VERY bad advice.
i SWEAR I did NOT read your post before I wrote mine!!!
Overstate? We had at least that many options, any of which was far superior to Mitt, yet all lost because of the “I want a REAL conservative” all-or-nothing dissatisfaction.
bttt
Actually I am a regular reader of FR and I have never seen that figure. I knew it would go up, but no idea it was 150%.
What is the source of those figures?
Do you think that if either Santorum or Gingrich was the GOP nominee right now we would be happy with where we were?
Would we have a good, solid, across-the-board conservative candidate?
Would our candidate be more popular, and more admired, and doing better in the polls than Romney is now?
Would the leftist attacks against our nominee be as ineffective and failing as they are now?
Would the focus of the campaigns and the election and the media coverage be as much about the economy and about Obama as it is now?
I think the answer to each of these questions is "No."
Your Post #41 is spot on.
Obama knows that Bill tried to get Hillary to run in 2012.

And, Obama knows that Fort Marcy park is not far from the White House.
Sorry, didn’t read your Post. I have other novels to read and no time to read them either.
Primarily because there's no conservative party in MA -- "one is the loneliest number," so to speak. The MA GOP will fight tooth and nail to avoid putting up an actual conservative candidate. And they're bitterly opposed to social conservatives. Even fiscally, as far as I can see, Northeast Republicans have a long history of being "pro big business" in the sense of government favoritism, at the expense of everyone else, including small business. Free markets are not their bag, much less individual liberty.
Remember, Reagan carried MA both times. We just so seldom have a conservative candidate to vote for.
And how do we decide who is a conservative and thus is allowed to run in the conservative primaries and caucuses, and who is a RINO and must sit out those contests and wait for the general GOP primaries?
This proposal does not solve our problem, it merely moves it.
Yes indeed, we can just wave a copy of the Constitution when they show up and they will just go away, right?
It should be abundantly clear to any one over the age of twelve, that the Constitution or the law doesnt matter anymore.
even the alleged Romney haters should be happy and hopeful for Romney to right this nations ship of state.

Sorry, but they’re not. Romney was not my choice, but the Conservative purists on here will bite their noses off to spite their faces. They are so pissed that their guy, or gal, didn’t get the nomination that they would rather vote for some Third Party dolt or stay home on Election Day, and see this nation go to hell in a hand basket than vote for someone who is not the ideal candidate but is better than the Marxist Muslim in the White House. Apparently, you have never been on the receiving end of the attacks from the Conservative purists on this website.
You misdirect with your premise. In this race you have Evil and Less Evil.
Destruction of free enterprise was Obamas mission. What I dont understand is why the Democrats went along with his destructive goal.

Well, git yo butt down here. We’re thinking about seceding from the Union if Obama is reelected. So, git here while there is still space.
