147 Degrees West (@147DW) has done a wonderful job of putting together the success rate of nominees wrought from a brokered convention. The conclusion: Odds of Beating Obama Are Better By Dumping Mitt.
Many automatically assume that Mitt Romney is the presumptive nominee of the Republican party, and that the Tampa convention will end up being nothing more than a Guthy-Renker Romney infomercial.
That will be news to the Lawyers for Ron Paul who have filed a little covered Federal, civil rights lawsuit, against the GOP and many state GOP parties for election fraud on behalf of the Romney campaign. And yes; although it's no where near the extent of fraud conducted by the Obama campaign in 2008 (or even this year), it has occurred blatantly. In many states including Maine, Missouri, Massachusetts, Oklahoma (and even Puerto Rico) votes went unrecorded or delegates were excluded from caucuses.

Same here, nobody is getting excited about Romney, kinda like a hurricane coming straight at you and you go to the supermarket for supplies and all you see are Greek sardines left.
That is Romney, the last item on the shelf, and people will buy his act simply because of that.
Problem is the nation needs an underdog, a hero, a come up from behind with hopeless odds of winning type of a candidate, none of this in your face its gonna happen, he is the nominee, blah blah blah whether you like it or not.
A brokered convention is what America needs, because if they don’t get it things will go CFA. We saw the spontaneousness of America, we will see it again.
Romney is progressive alright. But he does not hate America.
The Kenyan in WH is progressive**cubed.
And he hates America.
I did not get where I am in life by cutting my ears off to spite my nose.
Our odds are better if the Paulbots are jettisoned to a third party
“Romney is one of the worst forms of RINO democrat in republican clothing....”
.
McCain Jr.?
This is hysterical...I laughed so hard I couldn’t catch my breath. I won’t even bother explaining why this is delusional, because it won’t do any good, but thanks for the laugh.
My money is on Romney dropping his campaign before he shows his 2007, 2008 and 2009 income tax returns.
What a joke. Your money probably wouldn’t get you out of sight of where you currently squat. At what income level do you believe a person should be required to give up the right to privacy?
Go vote for Obama and protest the nominee. You sound like a spoiled child holding its’ breath to get its’ way
“God told us CLEARLY:
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK MY FACE, and TURN FROM THERE WICKED WAYS; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and WILL HEAL THEIR LAND.
Instead, we are asked to vote with the political party that cheated and lied and for a man who is like Ahaz/Manasseh, who thought it was ok to kill innocent babies and took the things of God that was sacred (altar/tabernacle) and desecrate. Just like the people who want to take marriage and desecrate it by allowing homosexual marriage. Government did not give us marriage; God did. I am finishing a book on Ahaz, Hezekiah and Manasseh (Chronicles of the Kings) could not believe the parallels we are facing today.”
Well done. I am surprised that more American “conservatives” have not made this connection as well. In truth, we are looking to politics instead of looking to God, and we are embracing dreams of returning to a former American glory even while we not only TOLERATE evil, we EMBRACE it for political expediency. And as a result we are suffering for it. The scripture you quoted has been ringing in my ears, and it ought to ring in the ears of every American who claims to be a Christian. Even the origins of our nation has nothing whatever to do with our own actions, but with the blessings of God. Washington, certainly, wasn’t dodging bullets (they were punching holes through his coats!) because he was just LUCKY.
This is a call to action for all Christians to fervently preach the Gospel, to pray to God and humble ourselves. Outside of this, we are doomed.
I just don’t get it.
Truer words have never been written
Agree, Romney will not get our vote here either. My days of supporting super wealthy leftist political insiders are flat out done.
No, but I’m flattered to be mistaken for him.
You folks need to understand the difference between the primaries and the general election. There are two candidates now, it’s either the Kenyan or the Mormon, that’s it
I think Obama is the bigger spiritual problem at this moment in time, and I can’t see how conservatives are going to benefit by four more years of him in the White House, or how conservative “dignity” will be better off. Like the old saying goes, “Don’t cut of your nose to spite your face.” By acting in any way that allows Obama to win, conservatives are spiting themselves. Why work to elect conservatives and Republicans into Congress, and limit them by giving them someone who won’t work with them? How is giving the election to Obama justice? Do you honestly think the Tea Party people going into Congress would prefer to work with Obama? Do you think God is going to look more favorably upon America when Obama is back in the White House? If you do, you are not a conservative, but a Democrat troll, dragging God into your angry attack on others. If you are truly concerned with the spiritual sickness of this nation, and working to bring this nation back to God, why are you slugging it out with politics. Follow Christ in your life, for real, not as a political statement. Practice generosity, love and kindness to your neighbors and strangers. Live your life with humility, gentleness and moral example, trusting in Christ, not politics. In the end it won’t matter who we pick as our political leaders, not if the culture continues to collapse around us, and politics won’t fix the culture, but Christians can. Do you see that happening? Which political leader do you see bringing that about? Watch out.
Romney is not a savior, and Obama is certainly not a savior, though he thinks he is. The Tea Party is not a savior. What there is right now is a choice between two evils, and like it or not, I think Romney is the lesser one. He may even turn out to be better than I think he will, but very little he ends up doing will rival the evil Obama can bestow upon us. So, as either a conservative or a Republican, I’m supporting him. I wish there was something better to do, but I don’t see it. The very best thing I can do for this country, politically speaking, is help get rid of Obama, and the only way that is going to happen is through Romney. When conservatives and Republicans can get their act together, and give me a better candidate to support, one that has a chance of winning the political game, as well as principles game, not to mention the primaries, I’m all in. This isn’t that time, obviously, just like last time wasn’t that time, grievously. Meanwhile, vote for whomever you please, for whomever gives you peace of mind, the surety of justice, sense of honor or spiritual hope. If your vote helps Obama win, feel good about your decision while this nation crumbles beyond repair. Good on ya’ brother.
No matter your feelings about the chances of winning, dropping Mittens is the only way for the conservative movement to maintain its dignity.
Maintaining conservative dignity? How about you just make Obama President for Life and get it over with. There are no moral victories to be had here. The marxist has got to go NOW
It’s ultimately irrelevant, because either way we have evil men for leaders and we chose them, and actively campaigned for them. As for who congress would work better with, we’re actually back where we started at. Obama was elected because no one knew who he is or even what he represented. He was a big question mark full of promises and salvation. Mittens is the exact same guy. People are warning that Mittens isn’t who he represents himself to be, just like people were warning that Obama was also scum of the Earth. They ain’t listening, because America is just hooked on Hope and Change in their political leaders.
“Maintaining conservative dignity? How about you just make Obama President for Life and get it over with. There are no moral victories to be had here. The marxist has got to go NOW”
If you don’t want any moral victories, then you shouldn’t be surprised to always remain a slave.
