If the Republican Convention Could be Opened, Who Would You Replace Romney With?

This is a useles exercise. No Matter who is touted as a conservative, 10,000 people will show up to say that the person is not conservative. That would include viscious attacks against Palin, Walker, West and DeMint. I know that because I’ve seen the attacks against them right here on FR.

tick tock, tick tock

LOL!

Good point, Dave; It was a regular occurence here during the primaries.

We need to PO the GOP-e and have them just walk out ~ turn their backs on us

Not when in comparison with Mitt Romney.

Ask the question: "Who would you rather have, Scott Walker or Mitt Romney?"

I'll bet they don't reel off Walker's negatives. I bet they're more glad to get out from under the Romney Albatross.

What do you mean “if”...it certainly can but we have too many Romney lovers around. On Free Republic is it tragic to see all the Romney fans....Disgusting. We could replace Romney in a heartbeat if the conservatives would have a spine.

I'm not really fond of "what if" games. And I don't particularily enjoy these in your face threads where the same folks argue the same tired arguments concerning who one is going to vote for.

If Mr. Goode is on the ballot in Texas I will vote "for" him! If not I will vote down ticket.

At any rate Padre please take me off your ping list. I appreciate you and your service.

I like both Mom.

Newt gives me a headache sometimes, though. Should I take 2 aspirin?

Some folks think it’s enough that he put the toilet lid down

Good points FRiend, as for having a CinC with combat experience, we COULD have had Duncan Hunter in 2008, but he was run out of the primaries by the GOP-e and Fox News especially after he coined the phrase ‘The Kennedy wing of the Republican Party’, they hated him for that, and after Faux News sought to minimize him, I unsubscribed, told Faux that Rupert Murdoch could kiss my effin ass, and they are dead to me.

Duncan Hunter had 26 years on the House Armed Service Committee, many years as Chairman, U.S. Army Ranger with combat experience in Vietnam, one of the original Reagan Republicans who went to Washington in the Reagan landslide of 1980. I refer to him as the ‘greatest President since Reagan that America was too g*dammned stupid to elect’.

When General Chuck Yeager not only endorses but chooses to serve as campaign chairman for a patriot like Hunter, that speaks volumes.

Might as well put Paul in the cabinet to. He’ll clean out the fed quite nicely for you.

With that single mission, he would. But he must be expressly forbidden to touch anything else.

[napscoordinator]

Santorum needs to be part of the administration at the very least.

[joe fonebone]

If I had to come up with an off the wall guy, it would be former Governor of Michigan John Engler.

[xzins]

Duncan Hunter was my choice in 2008, and we’ve not had any close to his quality since, and that includes Sarah Palin.

The Kennedy Wing of the Republican Party is classic, and it is Mitt Romney.

I would pick the person who has governed a state that has remained prosperous through these horrible times and that would be Rick Perry. VP Gingrich would make me so happy as it would make the heads of the media explode and give Gingrich a platform to take them to the woodshed on a regular basis. Sarah Palin as head of DOE and EPA (Perry would combine them!) thereby frightening the soup out of libs AND the oil companies. Bolton would be Sec. of State and Herman Cain head of DHS or whatever that program is called. I hate to wake from this dream!

[txrangerette]

Walker states this of himself: “I am 100% pro-life”.

[joe fonebone]

What people are refusing to see is the destruction of the conservative movement as a voice within the republican party.

They hate fubo sooooo much that they are willing to compromise their personal integrity and destroy an entire movement to get him out. Very short sighted.

mcromney needs to be defeated in a very big way. Period. That is the only way our movement survives.

conservative house and senate with some damn backbone can keep this guy in check for 4 years ( really only 1, because just like nixon, this guy will never finish a second term aka fast and furious )....

Time to shut down the emotions and deal with pure logic and tactics. If mcromney wins we lose....

Well, they largely did that in 2010 when Tea Party candidates defeated their fave RINOs.

But we were too busy fighting among ourselves in the 2012 GOP presidential primary to coalesce around one horse, which allowed Romney a path to the win.

And what have we learned from that? Apparently, bupkis. We're still fighting each other just as hard and just as counterproductively.

[xzins]

Thanks TxR,

I was hoping that he was.

[dirtboy]

Time and time again the right has formed a circular firing squad and then wonders why there is so much collateral damage when that happens.

And now we are forming two lines - facing each other. The GOP-E is thrilled.

Folks, an ABO FReeper is not the enemy. Nor is someone who has serious enough concerns about Romney to not vote for him.
