if Mitt breaks the 1,144 delegate threshold, he will have won the nomination
TRY to remember how he got there. Most here do! So please stop - he WON nothing - It was GIVEN and BOUGHT. His LIES Attacks Attacks LIES - not to Newt's face - the coward that he is - but with paid advertising daily and his media support and with DRUDGE REPORT bloody Thursday on NEWT got him there. He is more of a thief than a winner! "The thief has come to kill/rob/destroy". Fits mitt to a 'T'.
Were you sleeping through all of this? He has nothing to run on - NOTHING, so he needed to tear down a Patriot, conservative Newt like he did with Sarah, also, conservatives that do have credentials and excellent records. His dirty tactics are KNOWN but they have no limit!
Remember, he has NOT been vetted yet! Obama will take care of that since you/others would rather ignore it.
His dirty tactics are KNOWN and they have no limit! Conservatives will never forget the pre-planned Bloody Thursday and he can't do that to Barry. So then what is slick mitt the backstabber going to do then?? oops, I was just counting on everyone just voting for me? DREAM ON!!
Evil knows no bounds and Romney is one EVIL SOB. Remember he's a backstabber, so it would never surprise if he's not a pawn of the left to keep Barry in office.
You and others like you are pathetic little turds for your infantile attacks against good people. Stop attacking Jeff Head. This man has served in the military for this great nation(something alot of you armchair general cowards never have), he has been a long time conservative poster here, has written excellent books on the rise of china and the challenge to American dominance, and the man is battling a serious illness. The man knows military hardware and nations strategic force posture, and is the best source for it on FR or pretty much any other forum. People like him dont deserved to be flamed by losers like yourself. This site has gone mad. Zot me if you wish powers that be, but this is over the line.
Don’t forget the co-religionist factor. It is strong with that group.
Actually, when you try and sacntimouniously instruct me on what this site, FR, is all about, it does matter. Fourteen years of continously involvement with FR is clear indication that someone knows what the site is about...without your puffed up manner of trying to tell me.
As to the Primary, I provided you a link where I have tracked it meticuously since day one. I know exactly what has happened. Voters pulled the lever for Romney and he is winning in vote count and in delegate count You can whine about it all you want...lies, money, blah, blah, blah, is just your way of saying somehow that it is "unfair." Sort of like the libs make excuses.
But he has those votes and he has those delegates as a result of individual people making a decision. I do not believe GOP voters are as easily led around by the nose as you imagine...and will not inslut them like the drones who vote for the DNC because of all the entitlements and welffare they are receiving.
If your asseertion were true, there would never have been a Tea PArty to influence the GOP like it did in 2010, and there would never have been a 2020 victory.
Politics, , as they all have indicated, is a rough game. The vetting has made them all better...and despite your rediculous assertion to the contrary, Romney has been vetted, four years ago and now. We know exactly what he is, what he did before, what he says he represents now.
Your answer to that is, "He'll stab us in the back."
More whining. We do not know that. He is a pol, and clearly one who has shifted with the elections he is running in. He wants to win and stay in office. He will not lightly turn on the commitments that got him into office. He did a lot of what he did in Mass precisly because he was true to what he ran on...things that we did not like or agree woith...though he did issue over 300 vetoes against the even more liberal legislature there, most of which were shot down. Studying those vetoes will also tell you a lot about the man. I would sincerely suggest ypou take a look at them if you are interested in knowing even more about the man.
Pragmatic reality is what we have to face, and then cooly make a decision based on it...not based on the emotion of the moment and how angry we are that things have gone this way...though that anger and emotion is understandable.
Cain, Perry, Bachman, Newt, Sarah, Santorum and all the rest will be pragmatic in the end. They will endorse and support him should he go ahead and win the nomination...and they will do so in a fashion and at a time that will allow them the most leverage possible to influence things for the better. That is all good.
And this does not make them the enemy. It does not make them traitors. It makes them politicians who see the lay of the land and who, within their principles, are going to try to make the best of it for America as they see it and for themselves.
That's the reality of the situation. its the way it is. Tantrums, anger, outburst, attacking otheres, emotions, etc. will not change that.
Newt said it very well yesterday:
"This will not be a race between Romney and Reagon."
I wish to God it were...but the reality is, it is not.
"This is a race between Romney and the most destructive, leftists, President in US History," He sadi.
And that is the essential truth of this situation.
Despite the fact that I was for all of the others...and despite the fact that I too will wait until he has all of the delegates necessary in the hopes thetre may still be a brokered convention...should he be the nominee, I will support him against the marxist Obama.
That's my personal decision. I have stated it clearly. It does not require and is not deserving of the derision you immediately heap on it. You have your own decision to make. I can understand it...though I may not agree with because of how dangerous I feel Obama is.
Otherwise I would happily vote for a Virgil Goode as the Constitution Party platform is much closer to my own beliefs. I have and will continue to support their candidates down ticket wherever they have a chance to win and unseat a RINO or a Dem. But, IMHO, pragmatically, they are not ready to do that at the top of the ticket yet...and the truth is, would only throw the election to Obama whom I can in no way be responsible for his election either by my action or inaction.
That's all. I know you support the same conservative values (probably at least 95%) that I do. That makes us allies, not enemies...even if we approach this different. it will take all we can do to get the right House and Senate in there and to change things at the state and local levels. We certainly can be united in that effort, irrespective of the top of the ticket.
“It’s not how long you were here , so please don’t throw up the sign in date -it means NOTHING!”
Take it as a compliment. Comparing sign-in dates is FR-ese for “I am losing the argument”.
Running attack ads--They all did it, but Romney had the most money and thus was able to inundate the airwaves. There is nothing wrong with paid advertising. Check out the ads run by all the candidates. Sadly, they're all politicians and they all told lies about one thing or another.
If Drudgereport supported Romney, more fool them. Their support didn't decide the election.
In the end, it came down to the fact that Romney had more money, more organization (he's been running since 2004) and more people on the ground. Some of the candidates not being on the ballet in some states wasn't the doing of Romney, it was due to their own disorganization. Santorum, for example was suprised himself by his success and just wasn't ready to capitalize on it.
Romney isn't the best of the lot (in fact he's the worst, except maybe for Paul), but he did win.
