I wanted Michelle Bachman to win, she didn’t. I wanted Herman Cain to win he didn’t. I wanted Rick Santorum to win then he stuck his foot in his mouth many times and I decided I wasn’t a Rick Santorum guy. I would have gladly voted for him in the general. I used to love Gingrich but he has not aged well, he has become somewhat cantankerous. I have supposed that Newt was the brightest of the bunch but maybe Paul is the brightest after all. There is a lot to like about Paul, but, he would not be able to win the general election. He has said too many dumb sounding things, just like Santorum and Newt.
For Bachman, Santorum and Newt it has come time to support Romney and they are. The time for back biting and complaining is over. The Money RINO guy has it sewed up. Either Romney wins or Obama wins. I am not one of those people who jump out of everything just because MY guy didn’t make it.
This country cannot take another Obama presidency and expect to survive anything like what we know of it today.
When your cousin begged you as a young person to go on a blind date with someone who had a great personality, you didn’t tell them NO! You reluctantly said ok, then did the best you could to have a decent time. Sometimes you may have even been able to enjoy the date.
Reluctantly I will vote for Romney, it is too late to do anything else constructive. I intend to make the best of the date and try to enjoy it for the good of the country.
Is it possible that I don’t like a lot of what Romney has done in the past? You betcha. Is it possible I don’t like a lot of what Obama has done in the past?
Romney may not be good but he is not Obama. Obama has been the worst president this country has ever seen, much worse than the next closest competitor. I would vote for Carter, either Clinton, any Kennedy any Roosevelt or whom every you can think of over Obama. Romney is not as bad as Carter, Clinton or any of the others.I will not be excited about Romney but you can bet I will vote for Anybody But Obama.
For a Republican to win the presidency Moderates have to vote for a conservative or conservatives have to vote for a moderate. No matter how much you don’t like it is a simple fact of life, there simply are not enough conservatives to win an election, we need moderates to vote with us or we have to vote, like this time, with them.
I cannot, will not, EVER vote for a pro-abort/bigger government/anti-RKBA asshole like Willard.
You ask too much.
I wanted Rick Santorum to win then he stuck his foot in his mouth many times and I decided I wasn’t a Rick Santorum guy.

Same here. He turned out to be ALMOST as stupid as Rick Perry.
Wow! JAKraig; everyone needs to read your Post #19. Actually, you need to copy and paste it as a Vanity Post. Good stuff. So refreshing to find a sensible, logically thinking FReeper on here, once in awhile, who is speaking wisdom rather than vitriol.
