Some of his minions here were trying it earlier.

I’m with you on that one.

Big difference between 1932 Germany and 2012 USA. Like over 100 million firearms for one thing.

I won't vote for liberal Romney. Period.

The GOP can win elections by not using dirty tricks, attacks on conservatives, rule changes, a complicit media, and putting forward a liberal, like Romney.

Look, the field was bad this year. No one wanted to run. Romney was beatable, and no legitimate candidate stepped up. The fact that Santorum and Gingrich--both single-digit players any other year--got any traction whatsoever shows that the field was just lousy. I didn't see any electable conseratives lining up to run. Did you? Seriously. Who was a good conservative candidate in the race? There was not one.

Say what you like. I won't vote for Romney, in the misplaced hope that the GOP can be persuaded later to please move a little bit to the right.

Like I said before, Buckley was right. Vote for the most conservative person who has a chance to win.

They can pound sand. Besides, every time they put up a liberal go-along-to-get-along type, they lose.

Like who, McCain? Everyone seems to forget that McCain was leading in the polls until Lehman Brothers. Look, McCain wasn't my favorite candidate by a long shot, but to say that McCain lost because he was a moderate and not a conservative is just delusional.

We the people understand fine. It’s them vs. us. They are winning

Ok, so what are you going to do about it? If you have a productive answer, I'm all ears.

I asked for a link tying The Heritage Foundation to Romneycare and you link to a Newt/Mtt debate?
 
OK, I did my own homework and this is all there is from the Heritage Foundation
 
Hardly an endorsement for Romneycare. Everything else out there is just liberal blogger spin. And Ann Coulter crap.

McCain lost my vote because of his backstabbing conservatives and his moderate stance on pretty much everything. He did run hard to the right when he added Palin, but that was it.

I won't vote for a liberal, and that includes Romney. Justify yourself voting for a liberal however you like. I won't do it.

It is painfully obvious that ABO is code for “Vote for Mitt, cause he’s the only hope we have for beating Obama.”

It is also painfully obvious - ask Ballygirl as if you could - that Jim is serious when he says “No Mitt!”

I guess you’re the “rational” conservative; we can tell by your oh-so-superior air. Tell me: after you’ve thrown out all your conservative principles to be so “rational”, what’s left to call conservative?

Actually, I provided that link as a starting point for you to dig out information yourself. Try this link for a 1991 push for individual mandate by Heritage.

Any chance we can come out of denial now?

I doubt it. There are still Harold Stassen supporters out there and he is now dead and not running.

You must be insane.

That link linked to some obscure blogger making no sense at all.

Then you go and say this?

“Heritage has always been a shelter for RINOs who were out of power. They have presented crony capitalism as free-market over the years. Sarah Palin was right on crony capitalism and Heritage Foundation is one of the groups that feeds off crony capitalism. STOP donating to Heritage if you have ever donated to them.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don’t know what your beef is with the HF. Don’t care. But if all you have is lame bloggers posting who knows what... then give it up, FRiend.

Now try THIS on for size...

The Heritage Foundations is to American Conservatism as the National Revue is to Social Liberalism.

Well, I was expecting Always Frosty to get zapped, but not Ballygrl. Oh well, guess I was wrong at my guestimations.

If Santorum is a Jackass, what does that make Newt, a Jackass to the X?
Well, there's no way to "like" a comment on Free Republic (or I would), but it's nice to see support for Rick on this forum.

Uh huh. Anyone who envisions millions of Americans just running out into the streets with guns when Obama is reelected is, well, deluded. Be satisfied re-electing Obama. Every choice ultimately comes down to only two. It’s why computers only have 0s and 1s.

How many of these types of articles have we seen in the past seven days? At least a few a day.

I’d say the media is scared Newt might have a chance of winning - as THEY NEED MITT to win so Obama can win.

“Ok, so what are you going to do about it? If you have a productive answer, I’m all ears.”

Frankly, I don’t think there’s a damn thing I can do about it. Romney against Obama has been forced upon us. In todays world, a citizens vote is meaningless. Lobbyists, loyalties and PACs are meaningful.

We had high hopes for the TEA party movement. But, it has been marginalized between 2010 and now. This marginalization of the principles behind the TEA party is embodied by the forced nomination of Mitt Romney. By the establishments choice, they have destroyed the long-standing conservative alliance to republicans.

No one except you is talking about millions of Americans running out into the streets with guns if Obama is re-elected.

But if Obama turns out to be Hitler II, he won't have it so easy.

And no, there are always multiple choices.

Like Dole and McCain before him, Romney has no chance, once he's the nominee and the media cranks up their slime machine.
