What a RINO-fest that list was. Besides the two ladies, I didn't really see any true conservatives mentioned.

Romney is a total non-starter. I think Obama would absolutely win against him.

Well, let's see:

1. Obamacare was basically his idea.

2. See number 1.

The writer had drank some very very strange brew...

"He finished second again in the presidential straw poll, showing support in a crowd that's not his natural constituency."

Romney has almost no "natural constituency". That's why he says whatever the crowd he happens to be speaking to wants to hear. The guy could win the WH if he got the nomination though. He'd set the GOP back almost 40 years but he could win.

Romney would make a good VP for whatever republican gets the nomination.

No he would not. His Mormonism would be an albatross around both necks and the media stink would end the team chances for election.

But since he’s the smarmy politician type that people are used to, he could garner the votes of ‘moderate’ types that might otherwise be afraid to vote for Bachmann or Palin or whoever.

None of what perhaps think are Romney’s good qualities will even be seen when the media starts to expose the blasphemies and utlra-strangeness of Mormonism which Romney adheres to, holding a ‘high priest’s office’. Sorry, Mormonism is so weird it will wash away anything else when the media starts exposing it to the world right out of their own leaderships’ quotes!

Buying into the Joe Smith gold plates crappola immediately disqualifies him.

The writer mentions Romneycare, but not “Romneygay marriage.” None of the libs want to do a mind refresher course on *that* bomb!

I know of absolutely no one who would vote for Romney. No one!! Same for Huckabee.

RINO’s aren’t wanted. Spine and guts are a priority. Losers aren’t.

His Mormonism is certainly another strike against him, not because Mormons are bad people, but because the religion is about as genuine as Scientology.

That being said, whatever people want to believe in is their business.

His family's refusal to serve in the military is his REAL problem, and he should be disqualified on that alone.

I think I´m liking Alan West more & more. As I mulled it yesterday, it didn´t strike me until the fourth or fifth factor that for all his command experience, military toughness and straight shooting common sense he´s also black.

If the islamist soetoro doesn´t somehow set the world on fire by then, West would have him sniveling in debate, and barry´s race card would be trumped.

´President Alan West. Oooh, I like the sound of that.´

Because the Republican leadership aren't "honest politicians" and won't stay bought?
