Romney Care, AGW and carbon trading. I just don’t see how I can get past that.

IF Romney is the front-runner (which I doubt) he won’t be for long.

There is no difference between Myth and Ubama.

Ubama fast-tracked Obamacare to the USSC so it would be knocked down.

This will remove it as an issue, and he can say "See what the mean rich people did?"

Ubama's second term, coming right up.

Is romney better than obama? on some issues. yes, others he is a carbon copy.

I will not settle for him in a primary. In the general? perhaps.

Rommy is not the front runner, never has been. Do you know anybody who is for him other then Fox, Liberals and his paid schills? His being reported as lead is proof that polls are for manipulation and not measuring.

—(Why conservatives are unhappy with him being the front runner)—

Huh? Did my infinite improbability drive send me to a parallel universe again? That thing is more trouble than it’s worth!

I will never vote for Mitt Romney. Ever. And there is nothing he could do to change that.

Romneycare, I believed, would prove a millstone around his neck and he would be unable to recover from it. I was wrong about how much of a role health care would play in the race.

No, Mona, you were right the first time.

If you have to ask why, then you don’t get Romney is a stink’n liberal. It’s that simple.

But part of being a conservative, I believe, is taking the world as you find it and dealing with it.

Great point here. I don't see Mittens winning because he has a ceiling in his polling that he can't break through. When some more people drop out, the anti Myth candidate will get all that other support and beat him. That said, if this POS manages to get's the nomination, I'm going to have to think hard about what to do. I can't survive another 4 years of Obummer. Also if we can get more Tea Party people to take the Senate and in the House, we have a better chance of strong arming Mittens into doing what we want. He seems very pliable in his views.

Well just remember. Whoever wins in November of 2012 will probably get 3 to 4 SCOTUS picks (Scalia, Thomas, Ginzberg, and Roberts).

Start gearing up for all the “then you’re pulling the lever for Obama” critics.

So let me ask you out there who despise Romney: are you going to sit on your hands in the next election and give Obama another victory, as you did in 2008? Or will you hold your nose and vote for Mitt, if he’s the nominee?

And would it help if Herman Cain were the vice-presidential nominee?

Frankly, I’d vote for a bluetick hound if it were running against Obama. This country can’t wait for the perfect candidate to manifest himself in 2016.

I don’t have to think hard about it at all. I’ll vote for Romney against Obama. Or Perry. Cain? Not so sure.
