I was for Newt, because I wanted to stop Romney. After the SC primary, we were on our way.
But apparently he made some “stupid” speech about America needing to preserve our lead in space before the Florida primary, and that was just too much for us.
Mainly to see the enemedia squirm!
Finding one is the problem. If you insist upon NO warts, you'll never have an acceptable candidate.
There's a big difference between insisting on someone perfect (which no-one was), and not wanting a pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro-amnesty, pro-socialized medicine, big-government liberal.

I’m more interested in getting a conservative platform than finding a candidate. You would think we could find a decent conservative to run, but they are few and far between.
I think my southern neighbors need to look at other options. Anyone who thinks voting is going to fix the country isn’t aware of how bad things are.
Was that Romney’s problem, warts?
Romney wouldn’t have governed as a liberal. He would have governed as a moderate conservative, and he would have been far less damaging than Obama. That’s why Sarah Palin endorsed him.
Doesn't matter. He was unelectable. As proven by the fact he wasn't elected.

At this early date what I do know for certain is that I will under no circumstances vote for Jeb, Christy or Mitt.
Yes, the deep blue state of Massachussetts. It’s a bogus extrapolation.
Besides, as I said, he was unelectable.

"I have said from Day One and Sean … it has been anybody but Obama. We have a presumptive nominee now in the GOP process after a good competitive and very spirited competition to find that presumptive nominee and, yes, if that vote were to be taken today, obviously I would vote for President — for Gov. Romney over President Barack Obama in a heartbeat,” she said. “I wouldn’t blink because I go back to what I said at the beginning — anybody but Obama."
You have said before that anyone who votes for a "liberal" Republican is a liberal. So, is Sarah Palin a liberal?
We didn’t know Romney would lose until after the election. What we knew was that he would govern far more conservatively than Obama and be far less damaging to the country. That’s why many principled conservatives like Palin voted for Romney.
Or anybody else's. I prefer to think for myself.
I'm glad I didn't vote for the pro-abortion, pro-amnesty, pro-gay marriage, pro-socialized medicine, pro- gun control, big government republican liberal.
It's bad enough that the republican leadership in the legislature governs like liberals.
If the republicans try running another like him, that candidate will lose, too. That candidate will also be unelectable.

Uh huh. Thanks for playing.
That's the party of abortion and gay marriage.

If the gop-e helps another rino cheat it won't matter. People like me will give up completely on the Republican Party. Many have already changed their political affiliation. Cochran has shown us just how the rnc is just as dirty as democrats. We are looking at the constitution party. If we don't get a true conservative the Republican Party is finished, if it isn't already. I will not vote for a mushy moderate=liberal in republican clothes. I'm so sick of these phony politicians.
