This sure is some depressing sh*t... and it looked so hopeful just a few months ago.
I guess Obama can measure the Oval Office for his new prayer rug.
Not to worry... no chance of a Romney presidency. He may "win" the nomination, but Obama will wipe him out in the general election. Victory was never the intent for the estabs... just a graceful defeat.
I'm not going to attack them for that...though they do have some pretty intense eyes.
I wish more American families could be as successful and avoid divorce and family breakups which, to date, they seem to be doing.
This does not change the fact that their father has taken too many liberals positions as a moderate in MA so he could get elected there. He had to, or he would not have been governor...and he governed in a state where 85% of the state legislature was dyed in the wool DNC.
But that does not excuse the positions or the difficulty it naturally brings when he runs for a GOP nomination and backtracks on all of those to try to win this election.
I do not believe he is the anti-christ or involved in some deep dark conspiracy to undermine the GOP and change it. I know that he persoanlly is against abortion and gay-marriage, but his public stances made room for them, as did his governance, and that will never set well with any true conservatve.
As a result, he will have a much more difficult time differentiating himself from Obama because the left simply will not let him...they will pull quotes like this one and hundreds of others made while he governd moderately in MA to keep him from doing so.
What has to happen is that Rick Santorum has to see the handwriting on the wall and bow out and throw his support behind Newt. Together they will be able to put a much more conservative candidate into office.
This table makes that clear:

Mccain part II
Romney going to get SS protection now that he won florida
Why not? There are lots of such folks on Wall Street: absolutely ruthless in running their business, don't care a wit about anyone around them, but back every expansion of state power on the plea that it will "save the earth", "protect a woman's right to chose", "is for the children", . . .
The one thing that suggests Willard shouldn't be called a "liberal" is not his delight in firing people, but the fact that "liberals" don't give away their own money to charity: they expect the state to do what charity should out of tax dollars.
The best thing that can be said for him is in the context of Massachusetts politics, the GOP followed the Buckley rule and ran the most conservative electable candidate. (Sad comment on Massachusetts.)
They all look nutz. ALso, they have a weird, plasticky facial expression that I associate with one thing only: Mormon missionaries.
His sons aren’t very good looking at all, and his wife’s not all that bad....weird. I’m so used to looking at what’s in the WH now, it’s going to take some really strong dose of ugly to beat them. Big Wookie with the bird feeder lower jaw and an arse with a big enough shelf to use as a couch and their kids are hideous. The giant one with the big butt looks like an alien and the short, fat one is ugly as home made sin.
Mitt’ll fix the safety net with more trillions of your tax dollars.
Anything else Repubs can do to guarantee a landslide obama victory?
Now where did I put my ‘ TOAST “ jpg picture
Of course you can! The liberal elite love to exploit the benefits of capitalism while applying socialist policies to minions the want to control.
Quote The_Reader_David "...the fact that "liberals" don't give away their own money to charity: they expect the state to do what charity should out of tax dollars."
Ain't that the truth!
I don’t know why you’re telling me that unless you are trying to stick up for the homely obongo family. I despise Mitt Romney. I suggest you take a stroll down memory lane and check all of my past posts and find one where I said anything good about that sorry POS.
He is really bad at giving them out of context ammunition. Remember his “I like firing people” comment? He was actually talking about firing “companies” because he no longer needs the service the provide. But his wording gave the MSM a great sound bite.
And he just did it again.
And you can count on him doing it many more times before the election unless he goes Obama and does the all teleprompter all the time thing.
If Romney gets the nod, I am done with the GOP. Will vote for the House and Senate, but will either do write-in or go 3rd party.
That post makes the one I just submitted totally redundant. I gotta learn to read threads before I start posting.
Wait, I’m doing it again.

Or Romney could try to do what McCain did, put a conservative on the ticket. But will it work this time around?
This is wrong on so many levels. With Romney as the nominee, looks like the GOP is going back to permanent minority party status!
Hell no! It didn’t work last time either... mcbuttface lost!
