I've noticed that as a conservative website becomes more of a Romney fan site, it just gets nastier and nastier. Even the Ronulans aren't as despicable as the Mittwits are.
So what rock did Morrissey and Allahpundit turn over to find Erika Johnsen? Never saw a once-conservative website sink so low as Hot Air.
I will never vote for Romney ... say what you will, I will never vote for Romney. Condemn me and throw slings and arrows my way, I will never vote for Romney.
I have a conscience and standards. I will never vote for Romney.
If my “not” voting for Romney means the Obama wins, so be it. I will never vote for Romney.
Oh, by the way, I will never vote for Romney.
LMAO!
RINOS to left of me RINOS to the right of me!
By today’s standards Reagan was a RINO.
“Reagan,” Vice President Dick Cheney famously declared in 2002, “proved deficits don’t matter.”
Erika Johnsen writes:
“Mitt Romney may not be the conservative champion weve all been waiting for (and how!), but in an election year in which the economy needs to be the primary issue and the very fiscal future of the United States hangs in the balance, what America needs right now is a businessman who truly understands and respects free markets as a powerful force for worldwide prosperity, wealth, happiness, efficiency, innovation, and all manner of good things that big government can only achieve at a sub-par level, if at all.”
Mr Dede Scozzafava, global warming and Potomacized idiot, is no Conservative. Neither is Mittens. You've been had by the GOPe. The game is RIGGED.
I have shoes older than her. This is why she has no idea what she is talking about. She has no context. Newt has some real clinkers in his dossier, but a RINO of this level? Come on. Political critiques should be left to people who have lived through more than one election cycle. If she doesn't know where she was when the landslide election results came in Nov of '94, she needs to shut up.
Heck, Newt was my boy going back to the ‘08 election when I halfway wished he would have tossed his hat in the ring, but figured he wouldn’t (and didn’t) because it was a Democrat year. When he started making noises about running this time around I was pleased, but immediately he started playing games with us. He not only threw traditional-American conservatives overboard, but he couldn’t even wait till the formality of the primaries were concluded before he started winking at Mexicans over amnesty! Then there was the way he tut-tutted Paul Ryan over spending cuts. Can you imagine all the positions he’d be yielding to the Left as a part of some triangulation scheme where he’s too clever by half?
Same goes for all the Santorum bashing, we have bigger Mitts to fry.
Newt is a conservative....
Newt’s a RINO in name only.
We are either going to have to re-define RINO or the Republican party. The whole (GOPE) party now is the definition of what RINO used to mean. This almost begins to mean a RINO is a conservative like Palin, she is Republican in name only... There’s nothing else Republican about her or many of the other real conservatives that are still claiming to be Republicans. There’s a big reversal in the definition happening. Lindsey Graham is an example of a RINO by the old definition, Palin would be a RINO under the developing definition. Maybe being a RINO is becoming a good thing?
It's not that they attack Newt because they support Romney. It's that they support Romney (if as Johnsen does, they do support Romney) because they can't take Newt.
Newt alienated and irritated an awful lot of people before Romney even appeared on the scene, to the point where they would never think of voting for him.
I guess that works the other way around as well: people who backed Newt didn't do so because they love him, but because they couldn't stand Romney. I don't think jealousy's a major factor -- I wouldn't want Newt's life -- but if it is, that cuts both ways as well.
