Romney is sure to lose against Clinton

I think Romney could easily beat Clinton. The conservatives would come out in droves to keep Hillary out and I think there will be less that will sit out if Romney is the candidate. We Know what we are getting with McCain. It’s Hillary lite.

I do have a big problem with the notion of a Mormon in the White House, and I don’t really see Romney as being any better than Hillary on abortion gays. Romney congradulates them on Pride week and then acts all conservative when he’s running for president. Please, Huckabee is really conservative on these issues. Romney is as liberal as they come.

I was thinking how to respond to this when it occurred to me there's no need to add any of my thoughts at all. This post in and of itself pretty much sums up why I'd never, ever vote for Huckabee.

I see Romney as the only one left that could win debates and articulate a fiscally conservative agenda. I think he got it from Gulianne, who came out with actual NUMBERS, not vague ‘tax cuts’ talk. He needs to have the facts and figures, than use them to show he understands how America works, which no other candidate, Democrat or Republican has.

MSM discussing the 2008 election: "We have the dhimmis stuck in the losing position
of rooting for someone they don't like or trust to whump someone else they neither like nor trust. We win."

You sound like a bigot. No problem sending Mormons to fight wars as fighter pilots, infantrymen and women, as generals. No problems with Mormons as congressman and senators and CEOs and governors and football coaches and heroes, and scientists and professors, including Dean of Harvard Business School; no problem with Mormon Miss Americas, No problem with Mormon commercials promoting strong family life. No problem with Mormon scoutmasters and majority sponsorship of the Boy Scouts of America. No problem allowing Mormons to send busloads of workers to clean up after hurricanes. Ah...but a Mormon in the White House!

Please... I, for one, would appreciate you using some other litmus test.

What other group do you exclude from full participation in the constitutional protections of the United States of America?

And what about the Country? Do we harm our Nation just so we can make our party better?

It really doesn't matter at this point.

In the meantime, I'll be looking at properties in the Philippines.

Romney has 74 delegates, Huckabee has 29. Huckabee’s running third in the Rasmussen and Gallup polls behind Romney. Huckabee needs to bow out.
_____________________________________

And Huckabee is running ahead in the other major polls. Romney is a faux conservative. Just an old fashioned rich guy Rockefeller Republican. Bush III. Don’t pretend he’s conservative. Enough crazy has been sold this primary season.

Absolutely.

Romney and Bush I are tight. He’s Romney’s mentor. Another reason not to vote for Romney.

Hello,

Absolutely, Mitt must:

Point out in stark terms, the details of the Amnesty crap McCain wants, and who is serving on his team that advocate this.

Also, hit McCain HARD on the McCain - Leiberman bill and it’s effect on the average voter and the entire economy.

McCain - Feingold is less important than the first 2 issues I brought up to the average voter. They do not get it, so while he should bring it up, the focus on McCain record and platform should stress how a McCain Presidency would screw the average voter.

What Romney needs to do is give Hispanics a reason to vote for him. If the GOP alienates these voters, the GOP will be in the minority for a LONG time to come.

I’m not saying he has to pander. But he has to get across the message that we do not hate Mexicans, Hondurans, etc. That there IS a place for them in the GOP, and that there IS a reasonable way to address immigration.

“You are a bigot!”

No, I’m a Bible believing Blood Bought Christian. The fact that I’m ready to point out Romney’s psuedo-Christian beliefs is not bigotry...it is truth. Something that mormons don’t understand since they have bought into the lies of one of the greatest flim flam artists in history - Joseph Smith (The 19th Century’s L. Ron Hubbard and David Koresh).

Exactly. McCain/Lieberman is calling for a 50 cent/gallon tax increase.

This needs to be repeated like a broken record.

I think McCain will hit Romney hard on the social issues if it turns into a food fight . . . and I think it will hit Romney as hard and as ugly as an amnesty attack will hit McCain.

“A McCain - Hickabee ticket will do about as well as George McGovern in 1972 or Barry Goldwater in 1964. is that what you want?”

You are just a sore loser supporting a loser. A McCain/Huckabee ticket is a winning combination.

Actually, in Romney's home state, Romney is so despised as an untruth
person, and has so many negatives, that Romney-the-HOMEBOY in his home state,
loses in tracking polls in MASS. to Hillary. ====> Worse, Romney is clearly tanking over time.

THAT is why the MSM wants 'NO CHANCE-Romney' as the losing GOP candidate.

McCain is no liberal. He has backstabbed conservatives on numerous occasions, but he more often than not votes conservative. He has an 82.3 lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union. While quite a few are better, many are much worse. Compare that to Santorum at 88.1, or Kennedy at 2.5.

I voted for Mitt yesterday, but if McCain is our nominee, I’ll be there to happily vote against Hillary/Obama and hope that McCain keeps some of his promises to us.

It is indeed. It's a winning combination for the Democrats.
