Even Reagan was a Romneybot.
It's Mormon Mind Control. The Romneys control all of us. Run away before it is too late!!!

Yeah yeah yeah, we know, DeMint supported Romney. Big deal.
Palin still shills for McCain, to this day. Palin’s also a quitter, and she’s well-nigh unelectable. Anything else we’d like throw out on the table while we’re at it?
Oh yeah, Palin also selectively supports exploitative taxation, when it’s “for the good of her state.” And she’s also supportive of the sovereignty-destroying LOST treaty.
Even Reagan was a Romneybot.

The Heritage Foundation was behind RomneyCare in the beginning as well. Are they all RINOs now too?
Reagan consorted with the Romneys????
Reagan was a RINO!
Wow! Pictures of major Republicans together! However did you arrange that? OTOH, I don’t see a news story of Gov. Palin endorsing Gov. Romney in 2008 or his health care plan, whereas I linked to Senator DeMint doing just that. I met RFK, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Bush 41, Bob Dole and Dan Rather, but does that make me a supporter of all those individuals?
I don’t think so.
He was the lone Congressional GOP leader who went and formed a separate PAC to raise funds outside of the Senate GOP campaign apparatus and he used that PAC to back, early, Conservatives like Toomey, Rubio and others; against the GOP national party leaders wishes.
Endorsements are weird things.
I can’t think of anyone with closer ties to Romney than the man that helped bring him to the national stage and helped persuade him to run for President, that sought him out in 2006, served as senior advisor on his Exploratory Committee, and then devoted himself to his campaign as Romney’s National Co-Chairman, that was Jim DeMint.
Supporting Romney early on in 2008 is a LOT worse than helping McCain defeat a solid conservative in the primary for the Senate in 2010, youbetcha!
Yeah, that came out of nowhere, too. I mean, what did John McCain ever do for Sarah Palin?
See post #32
You’re back! Welcome home. Be sure to to post all that stuff from Politico for all to read here. Great stuff.
Summary: A conservative Congress can push a moderate President. A conservative President can't repeal or defund anything with the Senate we have now. Jim DeMint needs to stay where he is.
If you’re looking for perfect, you can stop now because you aren’t going to find it. DeMint endorsing Romney and defending him back in ‘07 is not that big of a deal, especially considering DeMint’s actions since then.
If endorsing the wrong person is someone’s biggest problem, then that’s a good sign.
Good thing you qualified that with "the majority" instead of "all," considering the founder of this wonderful website is a Palin supporter. A benevolent and tolerant one -- much more tolerant than many of the FReepers he tolerates ...
... such as the ones who intentionally insult fellow conservatives by constantly and vociferously posting that if you support Palin over any of the Republican contenders so far, you therefore automatically "worship" Palin and think she's perfect, as opposed to the reality, which is that many of us love the fact that AT LAST, there's a limited government conservative who is popular with Regular Joes and who actually lives up to Reagan's standard of agreeing with "us" (or me, all I have to go on) 80 percent of the time. Palin ain't perfect -- she's 80 percent and that's good enough for me. Romney, Newt, and the rest of the Moderate Statist crowd, are barely 60 percent, if that. Yet many would (and do) call me a "purist" for rejecting them.
But even people who claim to support Palin are always, constantly harping that Palin supporters necessarily worship her as the Second Coming. Hey, you DID bring up the subject of complete jerks. :^)
When a person has to knowingly distort reality in order to knock down a political opponent, then you know that person has very weak positions as well as questionable ethics.
There's plenty to knock in Palin without having to kind-of-lie-but-not-technically. That you resort to it by clinging to the "quitter" accusation, should have you in deep reflection about the flaws in your opinion of Palin. It's a warning sign when you have to resort to it, in politics as well as in daily life (as I have learned well enough, stooping to things beneath me in order to defend someone I didn't want to admit was a bad apple, and only to think back on it with regret).
Wake up, TQC. You're better than the type that would stoop to the false "quitter" meme ... aren't you? Be honest with yourself.
Oh my, you went and tattled on me to JimRob. That'll fix my wagon.
Sorry, but truth is the truth, no matter how unpopular it may be. And the truth is, there are a powerful lot of Palin supporters on here who act like anyone not supporting Palin isn't worth the cowpaddies they scrape off their shoes. I can't imagine why people might take exception to that.
I'm sorry, but I think you may be confusing "reality" for "your own personal explanation for things you find to be uncomfortable."
