HELLO???? It isn't how he "comes across," it's WHAT HE STANDS FOR, you dolt! Are you ignorant of Romney's actual record? Informed folks turned away from Romney on sound, solid rightness. Listen, for the first time in 35-plus years of straight-party-ticket voting for me, and in nearly 60 years of the same for my staunch and active Republican mom, we both of us declined Romney in 2012, and I am ready to do the same in 2016, and expect my ol' ma would too.
You insult us, jocon, in your idea that it's just that Rommey came across wrong to us. The truth, understood by voters a lot more savvy than they get credit for being: Romney WAS and IS wrong, period. Wrong morally, and wrong politically. Thus he LOST, thank God.
It’s the Candidate, Stupid.
Most of all, Mitt’s widespread recognition and public familiarity make for an easier time with the endlessly sought-after swing voters, I think. Plus, it sure doesn’t hurt that he has been so thoroughly vindicated in so much of what he laid out, both very forcefully and sometimes rather ineffectively, in the 2012 debates against Obama.
Yeah, we were going to fight against ObamaCare with the guy who practically INVENTED IT.
Your concern is noted.
Atavistic freak...interesting description there. I'll just refer you to history, and to the results (read: losses) that occur every time the GOP runs moderates. Romney is the worst of those, with his record of abortion support and his love for queers.
Running another moderate will cause the base to stay home in droves, more so than last time. We need a solid conservative in 2016...one who can articulate the principles of conservatism to those who need to learn; one who can reverse the disastrous leftwing policies inflicted on the country; and one who has the guts and stones to take on the left like a pit bull. Cruz fits the bill.
As for the foreign-born thing...there's no need to overcome a problem that doesn't exist in the first place:
He can barely contain himself, LOL.
“GOP. Who, really, on our side “
A liberal like Mittens is NOT on my side. He is on their side. So, to you, to “win” we must lose by nominating one of their guys? Just what kind of stupid logic is that??
Bump.
I like that! Got myself a new tagline. Thanks!
Assuming that's true (and your statement has alot of merit) why would anyone in their right mind want to be President after Obama?
Especially after the economic/socio-economic and foreign policy DISASTERS that Obama so gleefully has foisted upon the country? Then there's the DOUBLING of the National Debt and his wrecking of our medical system to name a few more.
I mean really, who in their right (bleeping) mind wants to be President after Obama and clean-up the mess he's made both at home and on the world stage?
The same was said about Jimmy Carter in 1979/1980 and along came Ronald Reagan.
Problem is, we don't have another Ronald Reagan.
This country is so screwed.
And you will be voting to turn the GOP and America hard left.
Period.
“However, I see The Tea Party as having a decent chance at succeeding where Perot failed.”
The Parot still has a HARD-ON for the Bushes. He was and still is a DICK.
The Bushes, unfortunately for us are BIG G’MENT zealots who like the Communist MEAN WELL
You said it, Bro Freeper!!!
The Bushes and Clintons are a cartel, meant to hedge the bets of the NWO.
I am not a big Romney fan, but despite how you feel about him I wish he was president right now.
Dude, that is really funny. I almost spilled me good beer
Please answer my question. How was voting for Romney NOT voting to turn the GOP left? Please answer this question: How was voting for Romney NOT voting to turn the GOP left?
Please...no to RINOs. Love Free America...not Socialist America.
No I can’t read. I’m clairvoyant and channeling you across the internet. I don’t answer dumb questions.
