Thanks sf4dubya.
There should be an ample budget for groups of this kind — the Obama reelection fund.
Biggirl, it’s your turn to cooperate and compromise. Now get out there and dump Romney before it’s too late to save America.
You’re right that the dim base supports their candidate. There is a very simple reason for that: the dims only select presidential candidates that their base will actually support. This stunning leap of logic is apparently lost on the gop.
In the last 4 years we’ve seen the rise of the tea party and countless lib republicans lose their primary. I’ve seen countless posts on this and other conservative websites and media noting that a liberal is not acceptable. So having seen all this, the gop reaction is to nominate the most liberal republican since gerald ford.
Huh?
And now there seems to be some genuine surprise in the gop that conservatives aren’t excited about the ticket and may give it a pass rather than lining up to support it. It points to one of two things. Either the gop is incredibly stupid or it holds conservatives in such contempt that it would rather lose an election than select an even marginally conservative candidate.
Either way, the choice for me is an easy one. I’m not voting for an anti gun pro abortion candidate. And I don’t give two hoots and a holler whether they have a “D”, “R”, or “Q” after their name.
Again? When did they ever?

Of those 16 only 3 had been lifelong Conservative Republicans.
The other 13 were mostly former Democrats, current Libertarians, and in some cases, apparently CURRENT Democrats.
In short, Conservatives got behind only 3 Conservatives, and the GOP-e let a whole lot of ringers into the race just to make their boy, Mitt Romney, look good!
If that hadn't have happened Romney would have been coming in as FOURTH in all those races ~ but with even lower numbers ~ down toward the same ones he got in the 2008 primaries.
The lesson is we must DISCIPLINE the RNC chairman. Right after dumping Romney, we got to dump Priebus!
Still a gop apologist then?
>>Yawn. The meme that anyone who opposes willard is somehow supportive of hussein is worn out and tired. There are other choices on the ballot.
Outside of FR, no one has ever heard of Virgil Goode or the other Perot-wannabee that some of the “Anyone But The Mormon” people pitch here. I’ve seen more Cthulhu 2012 stickers on cars than Goode stickers (which, in my city of almost a million is currently 3-0). I’m not sure which is a bigger joke—and a better-kept inside joke to boot!
So it still continues........(place marker)
If you don’t support Romney who is a liberal you are a liberalturd, Obama operative, delusional, insane, stupid.......and so on.
If Romney is dumped, why do any of you care.......it’s just getridofObamaism (ABO) that matters anyway.
Time for a Conservative Republican coup!
Lesser weevil my arse, I'm voting for a Conservative this time.

I think most real conservatives will support a Dump Romney movement. However, such a movement will not sit well with liberal/moderate Republicans, many of whom think Romney is the bees knees.

The gop is responsible for selecting it candidates. Thanks to willards minions in VA, we had 2 choices: willard and Ron Paul.
Thanks for the extensive menu choices, guys.
The gop dug this hole. It can lie in it with my regards.
So then.... would you vote for the replacement candidate or are you a true blue Mittbot?
You should be celebrating the Ryan pick. Ryan is a solid fiscal and social conservative, a pro-life Catholic, and a good man all around. Romney’s choice of Ryan proves to me that he is on our page. I first met Ryan at a pro-life coalition for Bush dinner in 2004 and have followed his career, and subscribed to his newsletter, ever since. He was one of the keynote speakers, and he had us all on our feet.
Ryan will keep Romney on the straight and narrow regarding conservative issues. He’s smart as a whip and a really nice guy, as well. He will be at the top of the ticket in 2016 or 2020.
No transformational change can take place in a country with one election (unless it is being ruled by a despot, like Obama who is giving a good impression that he works for the devil.) Elect the Romney/Ryan ticket and see what they can accomplish over the next 4 years. At least we know what they promise — in clear language, rather than all that hopey/changey Obama rhetoric that is meant to obfuscate.
When I think back to that Pro-Life for Bush coalition dinner in Feb. 2004, I am heartened. At that one dinner, I met more rising Republican stars than I have ever met in one place before — all of them consistently and devotedly pro-life.
Besides Ryan, there was State Rep. Mark Gundrum who left his political post to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan and who returned to be elected a Judge in Waukesha County. There was also State Rep. Leah Vukmir who has since been elected State Senator. There was State Senator Mary Lazich, who continues to serve the people of Wisconsin. There was a former Miss Wisconsin (whose name I forget) who was the managing director of a Pro-Life organization in Illinois. All of these pro-life rising stars continue to represent us in government.
The theme of Paul’s speech that night was to list all of the Pro-Life accmplishments of the Bush administration in the first term — accomplishments that Obama has reversed, for the most part. There were 3 pages of them, single spaced, most of which had never been publicized.
Ryan knows what to do to restore America, and he will see that Romney does it. Ryan’s political and conservative credentials extend back to Jack Kemp (where he worked as a speech writer after college) right back to Kemp’s connections to Ronald Reagan. Even the great Ronald Reagan made mistakes in California as Governor, but he learned from them. Give Romney the benefit of the doubt that he has learned from his mis-steps in Taxachusetts.
Obamacare' ultimate goal is a single payer (government paid) health care system. Romneycare achieved a multiple PRIVATE free market insurance system. When you say they are the same, you're simply buying into the Axlerod propaganda to get Obama re-elected.
Limp-wristed, valueless, moral relativism on parade.
Not even Romney and his people say what you are saying.
Romney’s team wrote (consulted) ObamaCare, are you not aware of that?
