Romney nails endorsements from George H.W. Bush and Florida Senator Marco Rubio
NY Daily News ^ | 03-28-12 | Jonathan Lemire

Posted on 03/29/2012 2:59:06 PM PDT by Lazlo in PA

Mitt Romney trotted out a pair of big-name GOP endorsements Thursday to urge Republicans to close ranks around him — but his main rivals refuse to abandon their own White House dreams.

Romney received the blessing of powerful Republicans past — former President George H.W. Bush — and present - popular Florida Senator Marco Rubio — in a 24-hour span, further signaling that the GOP establishment wants the grueling primary process to end.

Romney even met with opponent Newt Gingrich over the weekend in New Orleans to ask for his support, but no deal was brokered, advisors to both men told NBC News.

Gingrich has vowed to stay in the race until the GOP convention in Tampa, but money woes have forced him to trim his staff and travel plans.

Even Las Vegas casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who has largely bankrolled the ex-Speaker’s Super PAC, said Gingrich has reached “the end of his line.”

Disgusting! Bush 41 raised taxes and Bush 43 was way too moderate for me.
They are NOT Reagan conservatives

Right, nobody can beat Hussein, he’s like God, and he’s done such a great job, how stupid to think there is anyone that can beat him....ever. Let’s just accept the fact that he’s so perfect he will be there for life.

Vote however the heck you want, as will I. This place is crazy lately. Seriously crazy. No wonder so many people have left and stopped posting.

Nana, I don’t think he’s waiting for your endorsement.

It’s obvious that your a CHRISTIAN that hates Romney because of his Mormon faith. I know the man and he is nothing but a caring, respectful, intelligent man that will do extremely well as POTUS. You won’t find any skeletons in his closet. He’s a devoted family man that has been married for 35 years and to the SAME woman. I’m sure you think that I’m a Mormon but I’m not - I’m a Christian!!

I am just so honored to have a real genuine 1998 member address me. WOW!!

Listen pal, I’ve been on here for 3 1/2 years. That is NOT a newbie and I don’t give a rats a$$ about your 1998 sign up date. I’ve seen tons of zots for 1998, ‘99, etc. member. Sign up date doesn’t mean jack. Listen to me closely, it’s not the sign up date, it’s the past posting history that matters.

Feel free to go back over all of my past posts. Spend your time, then come back and post all of my past posts that lead you to believe I’m not a conservative. Your conservative principles... who do you think benefits by them? I’ll tell you who....the Marxist Kenyan. he’s banking on it. That’s why the Kos kiddies said to vote for Romney in the open primaries, banking on people like you to take their marbles and go home and sulk and hand the election over to the Marxist Soetoro.

You think I’m a drone and I think you’re stupid but Hussein loves you, that’s for sure.

Go ahead, make sure he gets a 2nd term, it’s so much fun to have him disregarding Congress, the courts, Constitution, etc., we ain’t seen NUTHIN’ yet if we hand him a second term. More SC justices, more commie (or Muslim) Czars, more even freakier Executive Orders, dangerous foreign policy, obamacare on steroids, secret deals with the Russians, and others.....Obama wants to destroy this country, kill it, plow it under and salt the earth.

Not voting for Romney in the primary, means you have a brain. If we’re stuck with him, not voting for Romney means you’re voting for obama! If Obama wins again, it’s GAME OVER!

So take your newbie comments and stick em where the sun doesn’t shine. Your sign up date doesn’t mean a thing. All it means is that you signed up in 1998. Big whoop. It takes a lot more than that to impress me bozo.

No doubt. Republicans enjoy the same socialist gravy train the dems too. They quietly cash in on the democratic policies, while blaming the Dems as a cover. These people want no change at all. Romney is the only GOP candidate that will keep that gravy train a rollin’.

Unlike a lot of the "newbies", us old timers are not out to impress anyone at all.

As far as "not voting for Romney means you’re voting for obama! If Obama wins again, it’s GAME OVER! The game is over when syncophants march lock-step with the GOP-e, and we have a Congress FULL of RINOS, which got us where we are today. Voting for the Chosen One (Romney-the-RINO) does NOTHING to advance the Conservative cause, nor can he defeat his twin (Obama).

So, waste your vote (the GOP-e can always count on you to vote [R] no matter WHO they allow you to vote for), and use the DU language of "wasting your vote" for those who vote their conscience, and their conservative principles.

Next?

And to think Obama might have considered suspending the 22nd. With Mitt as the GOP nominee, he won't need to!

I "held my nose" in 2008, and have absolutely zero intent to do so in 2012. Expect a much lower turnout this year with Obama eeking out a win.

Next? Next what? There is no next. I’ve seen quite enough to know you are perfectly fine with the status quo. Don’t bother to post back, I won’t be responding. It’s only March and you already have Hussein back in the WH in 2012. Sick!

Romney-the-RINO WILL the Nominee, by hook or by crook, as the Establishment Elite will not be outspent OR out-voted.

We are very likely to have 4 more years on the Usurper and destruction of the remnants of a once-great Country (now under control of the Unions, aka, the People’s Worker’s Party) and a Socialist-non-Native-Born Messiah-in-Chief.

_________________________________
We are likely to have him in there for 4 more years thanks to you. Thankfully, this mind set does not exist for most, including most on FR.

I will see you in November to either laugh at you or to thank you for 4 more years of Marxism. Then you can reap what you sow because I will be heading out of here if he wins again. Best money I ever spent was in 2008 when I bought a home outside the US.

See ya in November.

I dislike Romney because he's a member of the very aristocracy that Adam Smith loathed. He embodies all that is bad and negative about the Republican Party. The last thing I want is for people to think, "Ah, so that's what 'Republican' is."

I'll be sitting this one out, folks, and preparing for SHTF in a second Obama term.

Sheldon Adelson...said Gingrich has reached “the end of his line.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I’m terribly distressed over this. We are a Conservative family.... immediate family, in-laws, outlaws, the whole bunch. I found out a couple of days ago that most of the family is going to go ahead and vote for Romney in the Texas Primary, now that Newt is virtually out of it, in hopes of ending this nightmare of a Primary season we’ve had. None of them can bring themselves to vote for Santorum. He’s said too many dumb things in the past few weeks. Almost like he’s trying to lose this thing. He keeps letting his mouth write a check his ass can’t cover. My wife and I are still voting for Newt. If the Texas Primary would have been in March, as originally scheduled, Newt would have won all 155 Delegates and gotten the Big-Mo. Oh well, life goes on..... BUT THIS SURE SUCKS!!!!

It just means Mitt Romney will be the nominee, that he will lose, and that we'd best be prepared for the SHTF coming in term II. If we are prepared, something wonderful can come out of this, something far beyond our most avaricious dreams.

So, Obama in 2012, SHTF, some hardship (be ready), and finally the long-awaited correction.

As bad as Mittens is, he is not the worst pending nominee. That would be Jebbie!
