Conservatives and Romney work at working together
Google News/AP ^ | June 9, 2012 | Laurie Kellman, AP

Conservatives at the core of the Republican Party are coalescing behind likely GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney faster than expected...

"I'm going (to support him) because it's my responsibility and, frankly, almost anything is going to be better than Obama," said Steve Troxel, chairman of the Lynchburg Republican Party in swing-state Virginia.

"The emerging consensus among conservatives is that the Republican House will lead the conservative charge and Romney will be in the White House to sign bills, rather than advance his own agenda," said Republican consultant Matt Mackowiak, who supported Texas Gov. Rick Perry in the primary. "Conservatives don't universally claim Romney as one of their own, but they appear to have united behind him, perhaps reluctantly, but without question."

Most conservatives are starting to face reality. The primaries are over, it's Obama or Romney. Period.

Most prominent conservatives stated they support Romney. It has been in the news. You can stick your head in the sand, but reality is as above.

Well good luck with that wish..

It would be funny if it weren't so sad. The big Romneybots around here talk about pushing Romney to the right but are themselves suggesting that Romney shouldn't waste time on pointless social issues. Frankly, anyone who says Romney will be pushed to the right is either a moron or a liar.

Most prominent conservatives don’t do my thinking for me.

Obviously, you just do as you’re told.

Know any good jokes about the democrat plantation, slave?

“The big Romneybots around here talk about pushing Romney...anyone who says Romney will be pushed to the right is either a moron or a liar.”

On the other hand, the Obamabots around here trying to persuade conservatives to stay home or vote third party to help Obama win, are soooooooo intelligent... (/sarc)

We put the RINO in-keep his feet to the fire and then have Sarah Palin primary his ass out in 2016.

Dat’s de plan!

Rand Paul is supporting Romney. Guess he's just another RINO, like Gingrich, Perry, Bachmann, Palin, Cain...

For the good of the economy, the good of our defense and to keep more whacked-out liberals from holding lifetime appointments on the bench, we need Romney no matter how much we disagree with his social and religious views.

Four more years of Obama would be a disaster America may never recover from.

There's only one person with a realistic chance of denying Barack Obama four more years and that, for better or worse, is Mitt Romney. Any rational conservative has no choice but to hope he wins.

Virgil Goode has much more political experience than Mitt Romney, Gary Johnson, and Barack Obama, combined, but Virgil is running for ‘12 POTUS as a member of the Constitution Party, so Virgil’s total political credibility is moot! Politics is so strange.

Neither will happen and we all know it.

Well said! I would add that we better do more than “hope” — at the very least we all need to get out and VOTE for Romney, as the only way to deny Obama a second term.

Rand Paul supported his father-guess he’s just another nut like John Stossel, Neal Boortz and Jason Lewis...;)
