Way to pretend you have no responsibility. Any conservative who doesn’t do EVERYTHING possible to defeat Barak Obama, including voting for Romney, HAS no “principles”. But lying to your mirrors seems to be the most popular way to live with yourselves.

"Some of Governor Romney’s most influential staff are veterans of Florida’s liberal Republican turncoat former Governor Charlie Crist’s campaign. This includes Romney’s chief media strategists, Stuart Stevens and Russ Schriefer and Romney’s floundering press secretary Andrea Saul, who was Crist’s communications director and also worked for establishment Republican Orin Hatch.

In addition to explaining why Tea Party backed Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who defeated Crist, never had a prayer of being Romney’s running mate, it also creates the perfect environment for the campaign to be plagued by the liberal staff versus conservative vice presidential candidate intrigue that bedeviled the 2008 McCain/Palin ticket."

There's not a shred of truth to that statement, given Romney had planted 3 of his top campaign operatives on Rubio's staff:

"Florida Sen.-elect Marco Rubio announced his top staff, which included three former Romney campaign hands. Sally Canfield, who served as Romney's policy adviser, will be Rubio's legislative director and chief policy adviser; Joe Pounder, who was in charge of rapid response for Romney, will be Rubio's communications director; and Alex Burgos, who directed specialty media for Romney, will serve as director of media affairs for Rubio." -- RCP/Time, Jan. 4, 2011

Gee, Newt didn’t seem to think Romney was such a candy-ass. Or Santorum. Or Perry. Everytime he knocked one of them outta the race I had to move to the next name on the list. Then there was only the candy-ass left to beat Obama.

Romney didn;t beat them. They beat themselves, while generally not targeting him. He squeaked in because all the others were busy firing at each other instead of him.

I’m betting the “milquetoast loser” will send Obama back to the arms of Bill Ayers.

Well he's jolly well doing a bad job of it so far.

What Deb is saying is that the only way to have principles is to not have principles.

Pretty much the story of the Republican Party since 2000.

All my life these guys have told me to be patient. We can’t do it all over night. We need to be incremental. Well I’m still waiting for the first tiny baby step in the RIGHT direction.

That’s just it - it’s all just a shell game. Republican, Democrat, Romney, Obama, it’s all pretty much the same. I mean, we can argue about tax returns and Medicare all we want, but the question is: Will Romney actually do anything to restore constitutional government? If the answer is yes, then what actual evidence do we have for the assertion?

Will Romney work to repeal all the gun laws, and the property forfeiture laws, and the EPA regulations, and the PATRIOT Act, and the TSA overreaches, etc. etc.?

No way he will. He’s as much of a big government inside player as Obama and the rest, and he won’t touch them. While the proles are distracted with extraneities, our freedom goes down the tubes, regardless of the party in power.

Amen. I was going to post similar words, but you said it, probably better and cleaner than I could. Romney picked a good man that can stand on his own. I feel like this site, and others have given America a great wake-up call. We aren’t going to get everything we want in one election cycle, But I really hate it when these circular firing squads continually form on our side.

You need to re-read the 2d paragraph of the article. This is written by an ABO Romney supporter.

Since Romney is not on our side, this is a sniper attack!

In other words, if the economy grows faster than current government estimates predict, Ryan’s budget could balance within 10 years, well before the 2040 date it is currently projected to balance in.....WAIT.....TEN YEARS? Bullshiite.

It all a game to see who will fool the most people. Dems and Repubs don’t want to fix our Country they just want to win the race. Sadly Said.

You know, I was really trying to see if this was a parody or something like that.

If it was, I will admit it was dead-on.

That’s okay. You can just skip by anything I post. It won’t hurt my feelings a bit.
