And who chose Mitt? Mostly republican voters! So your beef should be directed at the voters who did not choose a more conservative candidate. I can assure you Mitt would have lost badly if only posters on FR could determine the nominee.

Now that you have concluded Mitt is a lousy candidate, what do you propose to do? Re-elect the radical socialist from Chicago?

Next time, conservatives should not allow the vote to be split among several conservatives, thereby allowing the sole RINO to win.

I will try not to upchuck when pulling that Republican lever for Romney.

Before I saw the name "Eric Ferhnstrom" in caption below, I thought the photo was that of a lesbian dyke.

Then again....

I have been harping that thought since last November 2011.
But how do you get the big ego’s to surrender to another candidate who is just as good a conservative as themselves?
Mitt & Rick fought each other to the bloody end.

I can’t remember a modern major campaign where heads didn’t roll - very often very high up heads.

Reagan’s first race and W. Bush is the only ones I remember where the three top advisers were there from beginning to end.

My hope is that Obama makes no changes.

You could also be misconstruing the movement of the Baby Boomers into their declining years where their incomes crash and their dependency increases.

If so, not to worry. They'll all be dead soon enough and out of the equation.

BTW, a dependent class does not necessarily veer toward it's so-called benefactor.

It's not like this is a peasant society. People have educations. They know what goes on.

But how do you do that? This was predictable long ago, once the field was set. It just kept right on happening, nothing changed, this was not a surprise.

Mr. RomneyCARE has NO chance to win.

Even this morning, he is hiring Democrat spokesman
to ‘improve’ his ‘message’.

Mr. RomneyCARE WAS chosen to LOSE, but fortunately
Mr. RomneyCARE is NOT THE CANDIDATE, yet.

Mr. RomneyCARE is A cheat.

Mr. RomneyCARE used surrogates to suggest Gov. Perry
was a racist, while Mr. RomneyCARE hid behind
some woman’s skirt and his EVER-PRESENT “Mormon CARD”.

Mr. RomneyCARE is nothing but a BACKSTABBER Democrat
posing as a ‘conservative’ again (but NEVER was).

No, the real loser won’t be Mittens but the uninformed, ll-informed, just plain DUMB Republican primary voters, particularly those in FL, AZ, MI, WI, and OH.

Walter E. Williams, subbing for Rush on Thursday, reminded the listeners that FDR, the patron Democrat saint, won two elections with unemployment much higher, numerically, than under Obama. Is Mittens just another reincarnation of the hapless Landon and Willkie?

” - - - And who chose Mitt? Mostly republican voters!”

Thanks for the joke. I appreciate your sense of humor.

BTW, would the “mostly Republican Voters” in TEXAS have voted for Marvelous Mitt were our Primary held when there were more than just 2 active candidates?

As to what to do? Ponder this: the Godfather of Obama”care” will lose in November to the Father of Obama”care” by 10 %. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT BETWEEN NOW AND THE TAMPA CONVENTION?
