You are absurd.

The Club for Growth
The National Right to Life Committee
The NRA
All former GOP Primary Candidates.
Every elected Republican -—

Will endorse Romney for President.

But? You are smarter than all of these people, aren’t you?

“The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday.
The cause of death: failed leadership.
The party is survived by a few leftover legislators
and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists
who have been ignored for years.
Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow.
In lieu of flowers, send messages to Republican voters
warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney.”

"In 2006, while Romney was chairman of the National Republican
Governors Association - a group dedicated to electing more
Republican governors - his own hand-picked Republican successor
as governor lost badly to the Democrat, despite the fact that Republicans
have held the governorship in Massachusetts since 1990. Romney largely
ignored the Massachusetts elections and spent most of the time
during the campaign out of state building his presidential campaign.
He came back and publicly campaigned for the Republican candidate
the day before the general election!
“Locally, this is a rebuke to Mitt Romney and checking out within six months
after being elected and having accomplished almost nothing,”
[Jim] Rappaport [former chairman of the state Republican Party]."

"Governor Mitt Romney, who touts his conservative credentials to out-of-state Republicans,
has passed over GOP lawyers for three-quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he has faced,
instead tapping registered Democrats or independents -- including two gay lawyers who
have supported expanded same-sex rights, a Globe review of the nominations has found.
Of the 36 people Romney named to be judges or clerk magistrates, 23 are either registered Democrats
or unenrolled voters who have made multiple contributions to Democratic politicians
or who voted in Democratic primaries, state and local records show.
In all, he has nominated nine registered Republicans, 13 unenrolled voters,
and 14 registered Democrats."

Romney Rewards one of the State's Leading Anti-Marriage Attorneys by Making him a Judge
Romney told the U.S. Senate on June 22, 2004, that the "real threat to the States is not the
constitutional amendment process, in which the states participate,
but activist judges who disregard the law and redefine marriage . . ."
Romney sounds tough but yet he had no qualms advancing the legal career of one
of the leading anti-marriage attorneys. He nominated Stephen Abany to a District Court.
Abany has been a key player in the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association which,
in its own words, is "dedicated to ensuring that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision
on marriage equality is upheld, and that any anti-gay amendment or legislation is defeated."

"Romney announces he won't fill judicial vacancies before term ends
Despite his rhetoric about judicial activism, Romney announced that
he won't fill all the remaining vacancies during his term - but instead
leave them for his liberal Democrat successor!
Governor Mitt Romney pledged yesterday not to make a flurry of lame-duck
judicial appointments in the final days of his administration . . . David Yas,
editor of Lawyers Weekly, said Romney is "bucking tradition" by resisting the urge to
fill all remaining judgeships. "It is a tradition for governors to use that power to appoint judges
aggressively in the waning moments of their administration," Yas said.
He added that Romney has been criticized for failing to make judicial appointments.
"The legal community has consistently criticized him for not filling open seats quickly enough
and being a little too painstaking in the process and being dismissive of the input of the
Judicial Nominating Commission," Yas said.

[Sacajaweau]

Of course I'll vote for Romney...and the rest of the Repubs on the ticket.

I sure won't give Obama a free ride by not voting.

[eddie willers]

First, Mitt Romney (D-Mass.)

I don't care how "cute" someone thinks that is, when you start out with a lie I will not read the rest of the article.

[M. Thatcher]

This is going to be one of the tersest posts I’ve ever written

Look up "terse."

Terse, this isn't.

Suggest you strive for terseness.

[Chainmail]

Nice going - great work for your real candidate, Barack Hussein Obama.

Almost had us fooled.

[kosciusko51]

If you don't vote for Romney, 0 wins, and the whole thing collapses in the next 4 years. If you vote for Romney, there are two outcomes: everything collapses later OR we at least begin to pull the economy out of the current nose dive, holding on long enough for saner head to finally prevail.

I hate either choice. I would rather have the collapse fall on my generation and not my children's, but there is always a glimmer of hope that it never comes.

[Cementjungle]

Sorry, nice try. I’m voting for whomever is running against Obama.

[luvbach1]

He is the chosen one because he will maintain the status quo.

To me that means they think he will continue Obama's disastrous policies which I need not enumerate her. I just don't buy that.If any GOP king maker believes that or wants that,they will be disappointed.

[InterceptPoint]

I will summarize your post:

FOUR MORE YEARS
FOUR MORE YEARS
FOUR MORE YEARS

We can’t handle FOUR MORE YEARS.

[upsdriver]

As an independent conservative, I have no problem NOT voting for Romney. Romney appeals to the moderates so let them elect him.

[Let's Roll]

The worst mistake a conservative or anyone else for that matter could make is to act in any way that would count as a vote for oblamer, (That means staying home, voting 3rd party etc.)

[conservativebuckeye]

There are probably some good points in this article, but I stopped reading once the author said he joined the Libertarian Party. Even Ron Paul is sane enough to realize how worthless that is.

[luvbach1]

A blueprint for an Obama victory, just when it appears Romney is gaining traction against the Bamster.

[MHGinTN]

So, how do you propose to remove little barry bastard commie from office along with this gaggle of criminal thugs?

[dead]

But, how bad his second term might be is overblown, and a lot of it is Republican establishment bluster to intimidate conservatives into accepting their puppet-candidate.

LOL! Comical.

I got eyes. I can see. I can read. I can think.

The man has been the worst president in generations. I've watched him with my own lying eyes.

Even if his second term is "only" as bad as his first, it might spell the end of the republic. And there's no chance it will only be as bad as his first once the shackles of facing reelection are removed.

Romney's an ass and a statist, but Obama is the worst president we've ever seen. He is on a mission to INTENTIONALLY destroy the nation.

Wake up.

[Jeff Head]

Vote for Obama to kick the GOP in the crotch.

That says all I need to read.

Yea...right! Vote for Obama. You have to be frickin' kidding me! Advocating voting for Obama here on FR? Talk about sappers within the perimeter and enemies within the gates.

Voting for the Kenyan Marxist will be kicking AMERICA and all of her citizens in the crotch.

This individual is willing to hurt the entire nation to that extent to make a point?

Sorry, that dog just plain don't hunt.

I will do NOTHING by my action or inaction to enable the Kenyan Marxist in his destruction of America.

I will vote for Romney, with his flaws, because he is running on issues that will help America if carried out, and we can make sure, through our election in the House and Senate of Tea Party majorities that he does just that.

Such a course of action provides hope for a turn around...voting for Obama ensures destruction.

WHY I WILL SUPPORT ROMNEY IF HE BECOMES THE GOP NOMINEE

[JudgemAll]

the Party has been constructed so it cannot be taken over.

Why not? Liberals are taking it over. I know they are up to something secretely with the Democrates for some program they are not letting us in on, but I think we can boot them and figure it out. They need us more than we need them.

[AlphaOneAlpha]

I hold in low regard anything written in a combination of bold print, various colored passages, italicized print etc. These are signs of a closed mind stuck on it’s point of view and wrapped around an angry axle.
