You are REALLY over the edge with that comment. I'm stating my opinion, not trying to knock off anyone. Calling me a left wing activist is the worst kind of ad hominum attack...go back to DU with the rest of the disruptor trolls.
He looks like a rubber chicken guy to me. A couple in his car, one hidden in his desk an a half dozen in his bedroom, located in the basement of his mothers house.
Yep, he’s got rubber chicken written all over him. LOL
Romney is just fine with you, and you prefer him to the conservative that is leading him in the polling.
Hardcore Mitt supporters don’t drink.... it is against their religion.
I cut my teeth in federal court defending an abortion statute against an attack by the ACLU. I came late to my support for Romney because of his prior position on abortion. But, by the time I settled on someone enought to donate, he was the most conservative person left standing, who I thought could have won the general election. Actually, if he had been nominated, he may well have beat Obama. By election day, the economy was the big issue, and Romney could have mopped up the floor with Obama on that issue.
Romney’s positions on things like gay marriage have been flat out lied about on FR.
If the polls show she can win, then fine, but it’s way too early to believe any polls. Winning the nomination is not the same as winning the general...we found that out in 2008.
Romney would, I think, have a better chance of winning a general election.
Oh, yeah, and Joshua, words mean things. To refer to the Palins as “the Lohans of politics”, given what the Palins have done with their lives, and the Lohans have done with theirs, is slanderous.
But, having said that, I’m still not sure I will support him this time. I have to see who else is running. If the big issue is the economy, Romney would be a strong candidate. If the big issue is health care, not so much.
The polling to which you point is among Republicans. There are fewer Republicans than Democrats in the US. We have to win the votes of a lot of non-Republicans. Palin’s numbers are much, much worse among the population as a whole.
Winning a primary is much different than winning a general election.
FR is one of the few places to get the truth on Mitt Romney.
PING
That is just your liberal wishing, Romney doesn't win elections, he has at least as much time in politics as Governor Palin, yet he has only won one election, Governor Romney wanted to run for reelection but his own polling told him that was impossible, so he left after his one failed term, with a 34% approval rating, and the Democrats took over the seat.
To run as the GOP candidate, then one has to win the GOP primary, with all the money, and all the forces, and organization, Romney couldn't come close, he ran third, the guy is a loser for the GOP, and social conservatives will not support him.
Just so you are in no doubt, here is the head FReeper’s view of Romney. FYI.
Jim Robinson to Saundra Duffy
Eff Romney, abortionist/statist big government pig!!
ObamaCare = RomneyCare!!
Eff sociialized healthcare! Eff state forced mandates on free citizens! Eff taxpayer funded abortion! Eff the lying SOB MITT ROMNEY!!!! PUKE!!!
As I said, winning a primary is much different than winning a general election. McCain won the primaries. But I think Romney would have done better in the general than McCain did.
I may not support an obscure, unknown, conservative, fantasy candidate that is a 1 percenter, but when the conservative candidate is a proven campaigner and winner, and is also the clear frontrunner to take the GOP nomination, then I support that candidate, you clearly will fight to stop them.
Conservatism is something that you want to stop.
Yes. I’ve seen that. Classy and compelling. But, on substance, he’s right that Romneycare will be a huge albatross.
Not unless he chose Sarah as his running mate, and I doubt she would have accepted.
If she ends up being the nominee, I will support her with money and time. I just hope that somebody more substantial and electable comes along.
