Romney has withdrawn and asked his delegates to support McCain.
Do you even bother to read what one posts, or just skim and make ASSumptions?
McCain is going to be the nominee.
That's means that it's time for all the other Republican candidates to circle the wagons and endorse McCain is the lesser of two evils.
Even the Huckster said that he would endorse McCain if he is eventually the nominee. He just keeps saying that he can still win by some miracle.
There will still be a number of conservatives that will continue to attack McCain because they feel betrayed by him and the Republican Party, but most will show party loyalty and endorse McCain because he's a better choice than Hillary or Obama.
LOL. I always make spelling mistakes when I’m typing.
I was no fan of Romney, but in all fairness what was he supposed to do? He could give his delegates to McCain, or he could give them to an anti-Mormon bigot.
I don't think he's a big fan of McCain, but would you really expect him to go Huckabee's way?
We will remember this in 2012 mitt! traitor!!!
Huckster and many other so-called *conservatives* proved themselves to be nothing more than religious bigots the past several months. The useful idiots around here and in the republican party have now marginalized conservatives so much that they have nowhere to go, much like the cartoon on the previous page shows them wandering around in the wilderness. I suspect if anybody in the democrat leadership takes note, many conservatives will first become independents before eventually becoming conservative democrats. They used to be a huge contingent in the democrat party, before they became Regan democrats.
Paybacks a (rhymes with witch), are they not, Hucksterbee?
The 1967 Therapeutic Abortion Act that Reagan signed into law was advertised as a compassionate law that would be used to deal with the difficult abortion cases. The bill was limited to substantial risk that would gravely impair the physical or mental health of the woman, along with cases of rape and incest. Reagan at no time favored abortion on demand, personally or as a matter of public policy. And Reagan never favored Roe v Wade either.
Romney favored Roe v WAde and abortion on demand until it was necessary for political expediency to trump his liberal politics. You Can't Trust Mitt Part 1:Abortion
“Well how do ya Romney backers feel about your boy now?”
First of all, he’s no “boy”. Quite frankly, I feel fine. As much as I have concerns over McCain, he is the better alternative to The Huckster and the other two dems. Having loved ones in the middle east, I will not place their fate into the hands of these 3.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?So God is the Father of Spirits...
4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;So Satan was once an angel, and was cast out of heaven.
7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.So angels have Spirits and can call God Father.
34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.So Satan was once an angel, Angels have a spirit, and God is the father of Spirits, also Jesus is "The Son of God" therefore,according to the Bible, they are brothers. We believe the Bible, so.... we believe that Jesus and Satan can be called brothers just like everyone who believes the Bible.
I am not a Chicken Little and I won't even watch "The Left Behind Series" but I just get this feeling that fateful decisions are being made right now, from which there will be no turning back and will lead to our destruction.
A hell of thing to feel on Valentines Day!
As someone who liked Romney, as the next best of the candidates after Hunter and Thompson, I hope you are right in the sense that Reagan also spent those intervening years writing and speaking for the conservative cause. For me to really be excited about Romney in the next round, he has to do a lot to shore up his conservative credentials as a matter of principal, not political expedience. Still, if I sound cynical, I do like him, think he's a good man, think he can make a great candidate, but needs to finish the journey to a true leader of the conservative movement.
Right. As he told us all he has a "Theology Degree" so he certainly should know.
It boils down to this.
Jesus promised his followers, “you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended” (Mat. 24:9-10).
The Republicans must deal with the likelihood of considerable defections to the Libertarian and Constitution Parties and to apathy. If Ron Paul runs on either or both of the lines, he may get at least 5% of the vote. If the two parties run the usual unknown people, the combined percentage may be 2%, but still higher than the 1/2% they will get on a combined basis. Evangelical Christian participation will dip, as it did in the 1990s when lower turnout among evangelicals helped sink the elder Bush's re-election drive in 1992 and Bob Dole's run in 1996. All the whining about the evils of Obama or Hillary will not work any better than ranting against Bill Clinton did in 1996. Disaffection is higher than in the past. States Bush carried in 2004 like Virginia, Colorado, and Nevada will be in jeopardy.
McCain is an underdog to begin with, but the recent Obama surge may be a blessing. He may be able to appeal to blue collar and rural whites and Hispanics who are traditional Democrats but have been lukewarm to Obama. We may see states like Michigan, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania go Republican, even though the GOP loses states like Virginia and Colorado.
Ford was no McCain though. There's no comparison.
Then I suppose I have no core, because I belong to no religion?
I just have a different view than you do I suppose. I don’t judge a person on his religious beliefs, otherwise, I’d never NEVER talk to any Baptist ever again. I judge a person on how he/she lives their lives. The way one conducts oneself is more telling than what type of pew he/she sits in on Sunday (or Saturday)
Jeez, Obama is looking better and better. Somebody slap me.
