After the party's weekly Senate policy lunch a reporter asked the Minority Leader if now he was ready to endorse Romney.

"Yeah," McConnell replied. "I support Governor Romney for president of the United States. And he is going to be the nominee."

Where's the sizzle?

Oh!! Now that is a great surprise.

McConnell and Boehner, their endorsement is another reason not to vote for Romney.

I can’t wait for this guy to get dumped. He makes Dole look like the greatest Majority Leader of all time.

One mind-numbed RINO, totally worthless, who endorsed a very strong devout Democrat. Wow!

I guess he swallowed his principles and endorsed someone who is way more conservative than he is.

The coalescing around Romney that you see is resignation, not support, certainly not enthusiasm. The Party Establishment has really given us a lemon. You know what they say about being handed a lemon? Find a way to make lemonade.

Unify all you want, “party”, but count me out. I don’t vote for abortionists and homosexual lovers.

The best prospect with the fewest recriminations is for Romney to simply step aside and stop running.

The second best is for him to just drop dead and draw in the sympathy vote for the Republicans in the Fall elections ~ taking it away from the Democrats who have already planned for Biden to "take one for the 'bama" (whether he knows it or not, but that's the Chicago way eh).

Yep. This is another sign that the GOP-e is only about fellow elites maintaining power.

Our Republic, our Constitution means nothing to Rove, Mitch, Boehner, and all the rest of the power-lusting, arrogant, morally degenerate GOP-e.

Ann Barnhardt perfectly describes Mitt and the rest of the GOP-e slime at her recent speech in Colorado Springs. As an aside, it was the most amazing speech I have heard in decades (saw it on her site).

“The coalescing around Romney that you see is resignation, not support, certainly not enthusiasm.”

That accurately sums up the situation. The best thing (and worst thing for us as a nation) Mittens has going for him is that he’s up against the worst POTUS in American history.

WASHINGTONIANS RAUS

Rotate the Capital amongst the States, DC IS THE PROBLEM, NEVER THE SOLUTION

The Taliban was thinking about nuking DC, but decided against it, because it would be the best thing to happen to the USA since sliced bread was invented in Chillicothe Missouri.
