You must have missed many of Romney’s speeches. Course the MSM only covered two, his Religion speech and his CPAC speech. MSM screwed the voter royally this time around. Course they always do.
The ol’ grey mare, she ain’t what she used to be.
Ooooh, nice one!

Deserves repeating!
I agree with you. I was originally for Hunter, but he kept saying the same old sound bites over and over & I never really saw him “bloom” during the debates. His lack of organization really disappointed me because I had sent him money & had his bumper sticker on my vehicle. Now that he’s endorsed Huckabee, I realize that he just doesn’t have the judgment I originally thought. I think he’s a good man, but by no means is he presidential material.
I liked what Fred had to say, but he just didn’t seem to get his message across very effectively. That was when I started looking at Romney & liking what I saw, compared to the other candidates still in the race. I wish I had supported him earlier.
I hope this isn’t the last we’ve seen of him. I am trying to be respectful of other people when they have different preferences than I do - but there are some Freepers that are not very repectful of my choice. It makes me not like their candidates.
Republicans sound foolish with this talk. Give Jindal a decade before we start calling him Reagan. We run the risk of sounding like the Obamamaniacs who jump on his bandwagon simply because he's articulate and not white. If Obama was a white politician, he wouldn't be considered seriously as a presidential candidate at this point in his resume.
“There are far better candidates than Willard that didn’t run.”
Operative words “didn’t run”. Candidates are those who RUN. Those who folks dream about running aren’t candidates.
Obviously not this time around!
He was the top of what was left of this campaign; what's left is very left.
“Now THAT’S funny.”
My thoughts exactly. Amazing how many people have been snookered by this guy.
1976 is to 2008
as 1980 is to 2012
“I have a good feeling about this guy.”
Key word here *FEELING*. Oh, yeah, if it FEELS right, then it must be right—right? Wrong.
Romney has the ability to get a large portion of conservatives excited and enthusiastic about conservatism, and about making America MORE free and MORE prosperous.
McCain has the ability to put everyone, even his supporters, to sleep.
We need new blood in Washington,DC.
That was one of the reasons so many smart and influential conservatives like Limbaugh, Ingraham, Weyrich, Dobson, Santorum, DeMint, Tancredo, Sekulow, Jones III, Beck, etc etc were willing to support Romney.
Unfortunately, Romney's downfall was due to his efforts in 1994 to convince Massachusetts voters that he was not this intolerant, intractable, uber-white Judeo-Christian type of patriarch who ONLY accepts other uber-white male Judeo-Christians....
In other words, he verbally pandered to the homo crowd, and the feminist-abortion crowd by claiming (during that debate with Ted Kennedy) he would respect their views and uphold the law.
Once in office in 2002, he governed quite conservatively, and ended up getting good marks from the national ProLife organizations, and from the NRA, and from fiscal tax-watchdog groups.
Those old YouTube clips were what did him in, helped along by the rabid Romney haters with the American Family Association (?) and by Romney haters here on FR.
I am convinced that Romney is a straight-laced conservative in his private and family life, and would be that way as President of the USA.
This Romney bashing is as bad as the Dems Bush bashing.
These people are way off the reservation.
He's keeping his delegates - that's the difference between suspending his campaign and dropping out.
“This Romney bashing is as bad as the Dems Bush bashing.”
Do you *hate* conservatives? (*taking a line from the mittbots*)
We love Flip, we just hate the sin (liberalism). ;^)
I voted for the guy, but he’s not much of a standard-bearer for those of us on the right.
Do the conservative ‘leaders’ see a problem here:
Super Tuesday voter turnout:
Democrat: 14,865,735
Republican: 8,929,123
I should hope not; Goldwater wasn't a conservative at all; he was an ex-military warhawk, with numerous deep social flaws. Most notably, his support of the death culture/abortuary industry.
"Goldwater would not have promised Michigan billions to bail them out"
I think that he would have. Any decent president would do all he could to strengthen our auto industry, and stem the flow of flimsy tin death-traps coming in from asia.
