Republican Committee Fund-Raising Has Big Turnaround [America Eager To Fire Obama]
NY TIMES ^ | 4/6/12 | NICHOLAS CONFESSORE

Posted on 04/07/2012 5:06:53 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Once teetering on the edge of bankruptcy and irrelevance, the Republican National Committee has raised more than $110 million over the past 15 months and retired more than half its debt, accumulating large cash reserves that could give Mitt Romney a critical boost later this spring as he intensifies his campaign against President Obama.

With the divisive and drawn-out Republican primary season moving toward a close, the committee reported more money in the bank at the start of last month than the Democratic National Committee, which raised about $137 million during the same period but also spent far more.

Any Republican, in my opinion, will be a better choice than the communist loving Obama.

Let’s put it this way: none of the Republicans started their political career in the home of someone who plotted to bomb the Pentagon.

The RNC is doing better since they dumped Michael Steele.

Isn’t it just a *wee* bit early for Myth to be measuring the White House windows for Spongebob Squarepants drapes?

Oh goody. More money for the RNC to squander on electing liberals.

Just think about how well they’d do if they were touting a conservative candidate...

Is this the LDS buying a stake in RINO Inc?

But any dollar to dump Obama is a better dollar than none.

OK, here is what happened the other day. The doorbell rang and I have a sign that says "Day Sleeper, Please Do not Disturb". I open the door and there is the mail carrier. He has a Certified Letter that I have to sign for. Well, it's from the RNC. I saw the postage was well over $3.00 and the letter says that they have an URGENT need for funds to beat Obama and that is why they sent it by Certified Mail. "Suggested" contribution: $100.00- $200.00- $500.00-- OTHER.

I went back to sleep.

To all you romney lovers, a good chunk of the base WILL NEVER vote for romney. He lied, stole, cheated, bought votes and endorsements. He had the states rigged (with the help of the RNC and his friends in power in those states) so that most liberal states were winner take all and conservative states were split. The cold hearted *%# destroyed good people to get power for HIMSELF. In the religious meeting in January, his people told the conservatives, "conservatives WILL vote for romney in November and he does not have to “reach out to us in any way." ” Notice he has not, and is starting to show his true blue state liberal colors. I always thought romney was no different than Obama. I'm wrong, he's worse. Someone (COBOL2Java) found this quote and make some excellent points, so I hope he does not mind if I borrow it.

Romney will run the Presidency like he ran Massachusetts. He will be a place-holder for the left, and will get blamed for the economy which will nose-dive beginning in 2013, thus opening the door for a roaring DemocRAT comback in 2016.
Republicans in the House and Senate will be disinclined to go against the leader of their Party. So which is better, a leftist Republican who will run roughshod over conservatism, or a lame-duck Marxist that Republicans in the House and Senate can fight against? I like Alexander Hamilton’s quote:

“If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures.”

One thing going for the GOP is that the prograts are Chicago thug types who skim and waste and squander on drugs and whores...

Since this is addressed to me, let me respond. While I am no “Romney lover”, I do care about America. And if given a choice between the two (and considering only Democrats and Republicans are electable) I will choose Romney.

Obama’s disdain for private sector capitalism, his embrace of communist sympathizers, and his hatred for our best friend Israel give me just three reasons to vote for anyone but him. Obama blows.

My guess is many of you were romney supporters from the beginning. Those who are romney supporters and admit it, I have respect for you, standing with your candidate. Too many pretend to support Newt, only to trash Rick; those people are apparently embarrassed to admit they support romney; I don’t blame them.

Are you saying hold my nose and vote for romney?

When I see a vicious partisan running my country I will do anything to stop the attack even if that means putting a moderate in charge..... this past week gave me even more reason after the threats made to our judicial branch....

If the GOP and the rinos want romney, they can have him. If they think we are lining up like good little conservatives to vote for their rino, their wrong. They assume we will vote for him to get rid of obama. Romney is no different than Obama and could hurt us long term. I'm calling their bluff and will vote third party or write in a candidate if romney wins the nomination. They don't care about conservatives, except to USE us for our vote and this conservative won't help them ruin this country.

Romney has yet to be vetted, but he will be by obama. Had Newt been able to talk about what went on with Bain, Newt would be the front runner, but the RNC said no. Apparently, they want Obama to do it.

How about his religion? Obama will have SNL doing conehead skits from Kolob. Catholics will love how they say Jesus is satans brother and Mary and God the Father had sex. Or how about that THEY think THEY are gods; lessor and greater......

Obama will question him as to why he had to destroy emails

OBAMA WILL HAVE FUN INVENTING WHAT ROMNEY WAS HIDING.
Romney Admits He Destroyed Government Records To Keep Them From Political Opponents
By Alex Seitz-Wald on Nov 21, 2011 at 1:10 pm
Last week, a Boston Globe investigation uncovered that former Gov. Mitt Romney’s administration destroyed emails, purchased hard drives, and otherwise obliterated all digital records of his time as governor of Massachusetts. This happened as Romney was leaving the state to campaign for president (the first time), and observers immediately speculated that the systematic destruction was politically motivated to hide embarrassing data.....

Then we have the cheating in Iowa and other states. Iowa still has 8 different precincts who “lost” all their paperwork. Romney has his church people working the precincts. I'm sure they will miraculously be found when Romney needs them.

Stand strong, Linda Frances! The RomneyBots will browbeat us and try to frighten us into voting for their boy, but I for one refuse to get behind their loser candidate.
