Obama the chance TO PUT HIS JUDGE(s) ON THE SCOTUS

I would never trust Mitt Romney with judicial appointments. His will be no different than Obama's. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see Mitt channeling Gerald Ford, that patron of John Paul Stevens.

He and his will be shown to be losers, his methods will be proven totally illegitimate, the party will be in turmoil, the leadership will be shakey and defeatable.

HMMmm...

This sounds vaguely familiar...

That is NO way to go thru life!

If you elect Romney, the Republican Party becomes his and conservatives will have no party in which to be active.

And...

It will sure get rid of them pesky EVANGELICALs that dog the ELITE at every turn!!!

“but it was a coux— first one I ever saw on live tv.”

I know my mouth fell open when Boehner intentionally called that vote wrong. Where is the check on a moderator when he does that on purpose? If we don't have honest people in positions of authority, we are done. We all know now Boehner can't be trusted to be honest. We have a deceitful Speaker of the House.

Republicans who definitely going to vote for Romney in order to remove Hussein, likely don't care what Boehner did. Nothing matters to them except vote for Romney even though they don't like him.

Well, we have gone past “don't like him”, we have arrived at Romney destroying the Republican Party and taking it for his own. He did a “Bain” on us. Set in place a way to “buy” the Republican Party (change the rules) and get rid of employees (conservatives) he doesn't want and put in his own people so he can control the whole thing - that's his “Bain” protocol, works every time.

My tag line is so true.

Boehner

Who’s running against him?

Time to unleash the hounds on these folk.

He’s screwed his state, conservatives, and the country as much as Obama

He has to go period. The cost of losing that one House seat against the cost to him remaining is small. Time to clean House.

The primary is over so he doesn’t have a Republican running against him. The Democrat would have to defeat him in November which won’t happen.

He needs to lose his speaker job. Our house Republicans need to vote for a different speaker next January. Dump him back to being just a representative with no power.

You’re missing the big picture, in that the Tea Party is slowly and methodically eliminating the RINOs in congress and the senate. Without them, while Romney might want to be a liberal, “nothing liberal this way comes.”

Right now, Romney might still win, but the fight for conservatives is that the Speaker of the House is *not* Boehner, and the Senate majority leader is *not* a RINO.

If the Tea Party is strong enough in the House to select a different speaker, than anything liberal that Romney wants is kaput. If he wants something the conservatives want, he gets it. His choice.

Even if he does an Obama, and tries to liberally rule by executive order, congress will just slash funding for that activity or agency. They mean to do some serious trash hauling as is. If Romney wants to increase the budget on anything, he is going to have to surrender twice as much in cuts.

The bottom line is that while Romney might want to focus on domestic policy, it is out of his hands. So he will have his best successes just cleaning up the international messes that Obama has left behind.

While I agree with your sentiments, You are wrong to suggest that Conservatism is dead. It is the Republican Party that is dead. Conservatism has shown itself to be vigorously alive and well in both the TEA parties and Chick-Fil-A.

What is missing now (and has been missing for a long while, really) is a vehicle for Conservatism. A third party will fix that, but whether that can happen soon enough to change our direction is another thing altogether.

"PREPARE," indeed

“Romney is probably the most conservative and smartest nominee since Reagan”

I would like to get some of what you are smoking; if it is a legal substance.

_____________________________

The problem with that is that the leadership positions for the next house session are voted in by the lame duck Congress. That’s how Puddles got the gavel before the 2010 TP members were sworn in.

You didn’t really think they’d allow voters to upset the feed trough, did you?

;>)

No, the speaker is elected when the new session, with the new members, starts in January.

Remember, when the Democrats won in 2008, Pelosi was elected in January when the new members were there.

Instead of name-calling, tell me who was more conservative than Mitt Romney? Surely you don’t mean “Read My Lips” Bush or Tarp Bailout Bush Jr.

Romney was against the GM-Chrysler-UAW bailout that Bush Jr forced through, and Romney said it in real time.

Please don’t respond if it is just name-calling. I have studied the issues carefully, and Bush Sr and Bush Jr were RINOs. Bush Sr was pro-abortion until the day Reagan picked him, and Bush Jr was moderate on everything, including trying to put pro-Choice Harriet Myers onto the Supreme Court.

Please have an intelligent response with facts.

I just thought of something: Since Romney could pick the delegates in every state, would that mean a national convention of Mormons? That would be possible, so why not?
