WOW, even Washington Times is now jumping on the Romney bandwagon! So which GOP leader is now against Mittens? They are all falling like dominoes. It started with Pawlenty. My guess is Sarah Palin will finish the process. Rick wants to be his VP. Dunno what newt wants from Romney but he is going to endorse Mittens this week. Cain has already done it. I bet Ron Paul will not endorse.

That messiah shtick works only once in a generation and the current generation got filled up back in 2008.

Do they have a choice? Not voting for Romney is voting for 4 years more of Obama - and there will not be the pesky issue of re-election harnassing his radical plans for America. His second term will make the first term look conservative.

I pray everyone decides they love America more than they hate Romney. I realize this is not a popular position on FR, but we all suffer when America suffers - Romney is the only chance you have at this point in time.

I did vote for him once -— in 2002 against Shannon O’Brien.

Half a moldy loaf is better than... a fermented turd.

This is not party time for a half competent wishy washy waffle. How can America so not care? Why was Santorum such a brief flash in the pan (and for that matter, why was Gingrich)?

But in the end... Mitt Romney is very worrisome. Barack Obama is an absolute promise of hell.

Buy stock in nose clothespins. I am.

I get almost as nauseated hearing Romney’s name as I do when I hear Obama mentioned. Something is VERY wrong with him.

Romney is a wishy washy waffle, at some point in his career giving the nod to almost everything that conservatives hate, but then sometimes seeming to back off. He hit below the belt when fending off Santorum. Now he’s suddenly the white knight (no racial allusion intended) come to drive out the black knight (same). Cynics can be pardoned for deeming the situation less than beautiful.

But, Barack Obama is so damned lousy that all Mitt really needs to do is sit there and look pretty while the mudballs zing past. After all besides silly lies what are Demonrats going to accuse Mitt of? Flip flopping liberal? They’d instantly indict themselves if they did. No, they are going to paint Mitt as too conservative and capitalist for America’s good. Mitt is meanwhile thinking: throw me in that briar patch!

I know the difference between rejoicing and resignation. This article is just too forced.

Obama in this first term is just short of crossing a line into out and out tyranny. If he where to go further in a second term “we the people” would have to throw him out of office either by impeachment, and I still think since he is not qualified all that is needed is to arrest him, or by vigilante justice.

Romney on the other hand will hold right where we are at, just short of tyranny. Taxes will go up, Obama care will not go away. The EPA will not be slowed down let alone ended and TSA will continue to run over our rights.

Which way are we better of?

Mitt would give a Republican dominated Congress more breathing room to operate, and most of them will not go for Mitt’s more liberal notions. I don’t understand why anyone would expect a Republican dominated Congress to have a serious squabble even with Mitt about how to squash Obamacare. It’s such an unpopular turd and it is wasting money on its counterproductive mission as we speak. Mitt has never waffled on the notion that Romneycare like plans should be initiated from the state end, and never the Federal one.

  The entire Washington Times article didn't mention a single thing that Romney will actually do as president. Parts of Romney's recent speech are quoted, but many of the quotes consisted mostly of platitudes.

  We do know that one of the few times that Romney mentioned a specific plan, it involved indexing the minimum wage to inflation and that alone would be a disaster. We need to move very very quickly away from central planning and toward real freedom, the elimination of direct taxation, a huge reduction in the size of government including the elimination of entire departments (all the ones Perry mentioned and more) and the repeal of so many burdensome regulations. Most of us don't see that in Romney and that's why we are nervous.

It reads like ad copy from Mitt Romney. There are too many questions hanging over Mitt’s head to have a party.

The problem is there are no differences between the ruling republican leadership and the leading democrat leadership. Mitt is part of that ruling cabal of elites.

With Obama we know what wer’re getting, socialism, with Romney we aren’t sure, but we suspect socialism.

It just may be too late to save our republic via the ballot box.

As a businessman, Mitt ought to know what a turkey Federal minimum wage rules are. It makes a whole class of casual workers and casual jobs simply impossible. Instead of getting paid “lousy” the class gets paid nothing.

This might be a damage control proposal that takes it off the Democrat political football field. In the meantime broader exemptions could be put in place.

We know what we will be getting with obama...absolute destruction of our country. We don’t know with mitt. We expect destruction of a somewhat lesser degree, but how much less we don’t know. I say roll the dice on the lesser destruction and pray for much less destruction.

Also remember that it’s still the lesser.
