Not leery of Mitt or Newet, just not going to support nor vote for a mamby pamby RINO again.
The Republican party has foisted the likes of Bob Dole and John McLame on us in the past and I’ll be damned if once again I’ll support crap.
REAL conservative or go fish.

For me it boils down to "can I believe what Romney's saying," for he's saying almost all of the right things.

[Yorlik803]

Mitt reminds me of that sleazy car salesman or personal injury laywer.
Mitt is the GOP John Edwards...slick smile, perfect hair, spray on tan. He is about as sincere as a “Love you” by the mother in law that hates your guts.

SPOT ON!

I guess I’ll wait on that John Edwards comparison until I see the child born out of wedlock and hear him condemn capitalism from the front porch of his mansion.

... chef from Rye, N.H., was initially attracted to Romney’s candidacy, but now describes him as evasive: "The more I listen to him, the more he just kind of flip-flops and doesn’t know where he stands on anything."

That's a nice way of saying that Romney is utterly devoid of any guiding principles, other than his own self interests.

Mitt, perry and newt, three birds of a feather, if you add paul in. It is three birds and a duck.

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

"He’s going to be listening to voices outside. I want someone who can hear his own voice — a clear voice."

[Grunthor]

“Romney said: “I think people understand that I’m a man of steadiness and constancy.”

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Mitt Romney - a candidate as fit as a Chinese Bridge...

[Grunthor]

I used to think that I could vote for Romney over Obama. Lately I don’t see enough of a difference to make the effort.

fox news is reporting this morning... an hour ago... a new poll showing that 81% of Americans support creating a third party. We all know that the dims are hated by anyone working and paying taxes and that have a functioning brain stem... but the republicans are not going to get those voters with the way that they are and have been governing. They (the ruling republican elite) are gutless cowards with no ideological foundation whatsoever! I would not even pee on romney... much less EVER vote for him... or newt (after his Amnesty pledge). We are in deep Kimchi!

In the face of America being taken over by communists in the frickin street, the only person America can produce to run against their organizer is Mitt Romney!?!? The guy who could not even come remotely close to defeating John ****ing McCain?

The GOP isn’t this stupid, they want Obama re-elected, and that is all there is to it. Romney is a punt, a purposely chosen sacrificial loser.

I’m just going to put it like this. America, in your last gasp for freedom, if all you can produce is Mitt, then I am going to LET YOU fall flat on your face, because you will have deserved exactly that.

GOP nominee Romney = Obama second term

I usually vote Republican which means I ony vote once. I will not vote for another MSM selected candidate again ever. If I cast a vote for someone because of expediency over principle, I’m not one bit better than flip flopping Romney and that is something I don’t want to have to live with.

To those who say that Romney is our only chance to keep Obama from another term I say this, you’re asking me to believe that Himmler would have been a better Chancellor of Germany than Hitler, would the difference have been that great?

I know about all of those upcoming vacancies on the Supreme Court and I ask you, can you absolutely be sure that Romney wont pick a disaster? Bush nominated Harriet Myers after all. A resolute Houe and Senate will be a much better deterrent than a RINO, lying, crap weasel in the White House.

So go ahead Karl Rove, et.al., tee up old Mitt and watch Obama knock him out of the park and you seem well positioned to blame it all on Tea Party people like me. The fix is already in folks.

"It’s telling you that what he’s saying and what he does aren’t necessarily the same thing," he said. "And that makes me leery."

Romney can't be trusted.

[motivated]

Mitt will be nominated.

And a requirement of joining that party should be that the applicant must pass (80% score or higher) a test on the US Constitution.

Then all candidates for said party should be verified as meeting the eligibility requirements for the office they’re seeking. IOW, if they’re going to run for Congress in district #2, they have to live in district #2, be 25 years of age, an American citizen, etc. Rather than go after other parties’ candidates for their failings, we’d just tell the public that we’ve checked our candidates out. No felons, no child-fondlers, no grifters, no morons, etc. A party that vets their candidates before allowing them to run on said party’s name could go a long way on a lot less money than the two major parties are doing now.

[GeronL]

Right, I’d rather stay home than vote for Mitt or a RINO.
