With Brown out, GOP mulls Romney energy
(He's back; Mr. RomneyCARE and family for MA Senate))

"Massachusetts Republicans are desperately scrambling to find
a strong Senate candidate to replace Scott Brown,
with some even trying to persuade Mitt Romney’s wife or son
to jump into the race to avert another electoral disaster.

... Other GOP leaders also raised the prospect of Mitt’s eldest son, Tagg,
launching a surprise Senate campaign.
Tagg Romney was a close campaign adviser
and surrogate for his father and is a successful businessman living in Belmont."

I will ALWAYS prefer a liberal Republican to a liberal Democrat

Liberal is liberal. Doesn't matter the party. You can keep your liberals, of either party.

You aren't a conservative.

Because we never faced hard hitting Marxists like Pelosi,Reid,Axlelrod,Jarrett and Obama before. This is not the time for ideological litmus tests. This is ti.e to cobble up an army that can win. You fight with the army you have.

[Diogenesis]

What if there are Democrats who are more conservative
than RINOs.

Which would YOU support.

[X-spurt]

Only in the minds of cainbots.

[JRandomFreeper]

We don’t even know who are our enemies.

I certainly know. Liberals of ANY party are my enemy. As is anyone that advocates voting for a liberal of ANY party.

Would you vote for a person you consider to be a RINO or a Democrat? That’s what I’m trying to point out. It’s not always possible to have the best candidates we’d like so sometimes, in order to get rid of Democrats, we’re going to have to use the best we can get at the time. To not use every opportunity to get rid of a Democrats is to allow them to get further and further entrenched to where we have too deep a hold from which to ever hope to eliminate.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Having fifty one Republicans is always better than having fifty one Democrats!!

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Do you think it’s better to have a Republican majority than a Democrat majority?

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

OK, fine and Democrats love you.

[Cheerio]

If you accept this premise, the you are acknowledging the GOP is now dead and defunct. Who is going to vote for a RATlite when you can have the goodies handed out by the full fledged RAT party?

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Not relevant because the Democrat is NEVER more conservative than the Republican.

[JRandomFreeper]

If democrats run a conservative, like they used to, that conservative would have my support.

Party labels don't mean nearly as much as actual conservatism.

A republican liberal is still a liberal. I don't support liberals. Of any party.

“if my choice is between a RINO or a Democrat, I’ll take the RINO.”

Fine, but the RINO will still vote with the Democrat!! So you have a majority on paper, but not in action. Let’s bring back Scott Brown, the Maine Sisters, Romney, anyone else of that nature you can think of until you get to 51. And what have you gained? A fake majority R, because they vote D.

[Cheerio]

YOU are part of the problem and the reason we got stuck with Romeny this election cycle. AND McLAME in 2008.

[iopscusa]

Put up Mrs. Romney and maybe she’ll show the electorate her Tramp Stamp.

[CAluvdubya]

The plan is to never let the liberal R's get past the primary.

We have to put up conservatives at every level and support them. We need to stick together and not whimp out when we hear the very liberal MSM try to convince us that our conservative candidate won't win.

I say to you again.....your plan has already been tried the last two elections. It has been a proven loser.

[Darnright]

>Do you think it’s better to have a Republican majority than a Democrat majority?<

I think it's better to back conservatives in elections, no matter how much "better" the moderate's campaign may be. One of my good local republican friends told me we must back Romney because he had the best campaign, over more conservative presidential candidates.

She completely disregarded the fact that when you run a candidate who nauseates your base, all the efficient and/or effective campaigns in the world don't make a smidgen of difference.

[Cheerio]

I despise Democrats far more than I despise RINOs and I’ll do anything to defeat a Democrat at every opportunity. We don’t even know who are our enemies.

IMHO you have this all backward. We know precisely how a RAT is going to vote - they goose step with their leader the illegal alien spawn of a foreigner. We converatives NEVER EVER know how a RINO is going to vote.

[9YearLurker]

Oh, yeah, because the rich son (or wife) of the rich guy was unpopular as governor and trounced as president is so clearly building on what enabled Scott Brown to win the seat. (eye roll)

What has the usual GOPe interested in the Romneys, no doubt, is the family propensity to dump millions into losing political campaigns.

[Viennacon]

I don’t give a damn who they elect in the People’s Republic Of Massachusetts. The entire state is a joke. They put Fauxcahontis in the senate for crying out loud!
