We are not yet defeated. Per Alinsky play book, they want us to feel defeated. But, if you look at the facts although it looks difficult, it is not impossible to still prevent Romney from winning the Nomination.
Romney only has 535 committed delegates now. There are not many winner take all States left to win. And the pattern for Romney in proportional states is he wins urban but not rural areas. So, if conservatives come out to vote and in enough numbers while contining to vote the Not-Romney ticket he will be denied the 1444 he needs. The GOPe and Dems want us to feel defeated when we are not yet defeated.
And a push to "Vote Not-Romney & Take It To The Convention" is not subject to Rove's Negative attack machine. It is possible we can still stop him if we spread the word far enough. Continue voting not-Romney and help get not-Romney delegates for the convention.
So spread the word, make it something positive to do. Vote Not Romney in the remaining states and take it to the Convention for a do over.
Don’t let the door hit you on your ass on the way out.
IBTZ......
This is about denying Romney the nomination. Newt almost certainly can't get enough delegates to win outright. The point is to vote for Newt so that Romney doesn't win first place, loses delegates, and a floor fight at the convention determines the nominee. What Newt is doing with his donor list is utterly meaningless to this goal and irrelevant to this thread.
DO NOT WAVE THE WHITE FLAG OF SURRENDER..NEWT IS STILL IN THIS..ARE YOU? NO GUTS, NO GLORY!

Oh I am ***so*** using this. ( see tagline )
Best thing I’ve seen all day minus my smiling 5 year old sons sweet face ~grin~
Thanks Katiedidit1
You're a moron. Not once has a NATIONAL preference poll had any bearing on a STATE contest in this primary. Usually they are way off from each other. Since 30 states have voted, what good is a poll that counts voters from those states?
Greetings, Idiot Out Wandering Around,
Obviously you are from a state, or pretending to be from a state, where they think they have the right to decide who the Republican nominess should be, without consulting the other states, or even having a convention where the delegates actually decide who the nominee is going to be.
But, I must say, someone who would dare say “A house divided against itself can not stand!” while trying to deny half the party their voice in this, does have some nerve, as well as complete disrespect for conservatives!
Hey, Karl, is that you?
Virtually any other Republican would have a better chance of beating Obama than the Massachusetts Mormon, even if they had only a week to campaign.
Only one person could benefit from Mitt Romney being the nominee, and that is Barack Obama. Moderate Republicans can't win presidential elections. Like it or not, that is reality.
Romney IS the left. He is NOT, NOT, NOT one of us. It's deeply insulting for you to even suggest that.
Pro-abortion, pro-homosexual marriage, pro-gun control, pro-tax, pro-socialized medicine politicians are NOT conservatives. I will gladly FIGHT the enemy at the ballot box. I will NOT join them or invite them on my team.
I am going to do what is right for me. I don’t like or trust Newt. He is a flip flopper almost as much as Romney.
Santorum it will be. Plus, I will vote Lugar out.
You’re an idiot. You accuse us of wanting entitlements while you’re backing the father of Obamacare? If your goal is to get a progressive politician who raised taxes and fees by $700 million and instituted a bold new welfare entitlement, then vote Romney. The rest of us will continue to fight him and Obama every step of the way and back conservative candidates.
Don’t buy the Establishment propaganda. The primary is NOT over.
Oh, it’s FAR from over. Crazy, SHOCKING things CAN happen —like Newt can start pulling votes in and FROM Romney, and the whole thing could turn 180 degrees.
There is the media reality — and then there is the reality WE create as voters.
Go Newt!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s. could care less of Newt’s in debt, and I doubt neither does Newt. The man can go on the lecture circuit and pay his own debts off very easily.
Remember what I said about the splintering among zealots.
Nominating John McCain insured the first four years of Obama.
Wrong. Sitting home got us four years of Obama, which is exactly what will happen again, apparently.
I can’t stand McCain or Romney either, and am appalled that the latter is our candidate.
But Obama is worse. he literally HATES America and is determined to destroy it. And is doing a damned good job of it.
For everyone who sits home and makes sure Obama is elected, you have NO right to bellyache and moan about anything that dictator does for the next four years, or the death of the United States, which will likely be the result.
You will have squandered the most important recourse the founders gave us, the power of the ballot.
Enjoy making your point. I just don’t think we will survive as a nation because of it.
But, you will get to brag to your great-grandchildren how you brilliantly sat out the election and threw your vote (and their freedom) down the toilet, and you can regale them with stories of what it was like when men were free.
You have no core principles, its clear. And you announced for the whole world.
BS
Romney is just as leftist as he can get and still be in the GOP. A government promoting certain businesses (which are de facto state owned) is no different from a government that owns the businesses. Except one is called fascist and the other Iis called communist. Romney has been a statist all the way.
I suspect you’re the one looking for the handout.
Romney is little different from Obama. Member of a flaky non-Christian sect, big government all the way, personally weird and crazy looking...
I completely agree. I live in Florida and I voted for Newt.
People who live in states that haven’t voted yet should vote for Newt if he’s on the ballot and if he isn’t , then anybody but Romney, even Ron Paul .
Even if willard ends up winning the nom, short of a bc or a miracle he will, it sends the message that we will not just give in.
Im not voting for the lesser of two turds anyhow..but still what else have we got..?
You know willard is going to mostly ignore the conservatives if he becomes the next King.
Retread troll zot.
You are right. You don’t belong here.
A house divided against itself cannot stand.
This house cannot endure, permanently half conservative, half progressive.
I do not expect the organization to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided.
