Sorry, that should be ‘if Romney gets selected’, not elected.

Who says it has to be a guy?

December 27th 2011?

Don't think anyone will notice how old these articles you are posting are?
Go a little farther back and you can find articles saying Newt, Santorum, and Romney would not not beat Cain or Perry.

This article states things that were interesting and important back in December when it was written.

Now, not so much.

If there is some way for someone other than Romney to win the GOP nomination I don’t know what it is and this article doesn’t help.

If there is some reason to vote for Obama or not vote at all in November regardless of who is the GOP nominee I don’t know what it is and this article doesn’t help.

"Millions of Evangelicals will predictably stay home if Romney wins the nomination. "

Not being a Catholic myself, I can't really speak for them, but I don't see a lot of them voting for Romney either.

Catholics and Evangelicals have been voting for Romney in the primaries. Not all of them but many of them. Like it or don't like it but that is what has happened.

...we need to line everyone up and agree to vote for a conservative write-in candidate...

99% of the people on this board know that this is a nonsense suggestion that has absolutely no chance of working.

And they're 100% right.

How did you arrive at the jackass assumption that anyone was promoting that nonsense?...

...well, probably by reading the comments on this thread...
of course, if we were to ‘gold’ our noses for anybody, Mitt would be the one...

This progressive republican illness seems to be the RNC problem for many years. Why, I ask, does the RNC have to move to the middle when Obama is the most radically left President in history. No one seems to notice Mitt’s impressive wins in states he will lose in the general. Maine. Massachusetts, Vermont, Michigan, Illnois, are not Republican hotbeds, now are they? MCCain, Dole, BushI, Jerry Ford, all moderate republicans. When asked to tell a funny story about his dad, Mittens recalls how daddy was President of American Motors, and closed a plant in Detroit and moved it to Wisconsin, and was worried how that might affect his chances to be Michigans Governor???? I don’t blame him for being rich, but Obama will kill him on the class warfare issue. With a stacked media, I fear the RNC has sold out once again to the moderates and has rejected his base...because he is NO CONSERVATIVE!

Think of our great Country, my FRiend, without Rush, Fox News, Free Republic, a First Amendment, a Second Amendment, a capable defense or a significant military.

These are just some of my fears for an Obama second term.

Romney is not my choice in the primary, but if he wins the GOP nod, I'll support him with all that I have (within legal and ethical boundaries, of course).

It's not as though we would be able to pick up after four more years of Obama and start fresh.

The damage to our system of government and our way of life would be simply too great, I do fear.

Agreed just really tired of plugging my nose while voting because the RNC refuses to listen to anyone. Between the RNC, Fox news, they have been practically throwing Romney at us while forgeting McCain just 4 years ago, and he was actually a war hero before he spent his career running back and forth between the parties like a rat in a maze.

I will plug again, but how much longer do we have to be ignored by the RNC, who has done their fair share of screwing up this country. Look at the Impact of Senator Lee from Utah. He has been a bulldog since his election. God help us.

Catholics and Evangelicals WOULD stay home if the opponent was not Obama but, rather, someone more like the Dems USED to run, i.e. Jack Kennedy, Harry Truman.

IOW, patriots. But since the flaming Marxist Barack Obama IS the opponent, Catholics and Evangelicals are NOT going to cut off their noses to spite their own faces. Not this year.

A lot of Freepers are really down on Romney, and for good reasons.

Hopefully after he gets the nomination, and focuses on Obama, the new , new, new, Romney will appear and you will be able to hold your nose and vote for him; to keep Obama from appointing Supreme court justices, and Obama turning his present appointees to the highest levels of Government loose and unrestrained for 4 years to further wreck this country. - Tom

Conservatives not automatically voting for the Republican is a foreign concept to the party-line worldview.

Many “conservatives” here and elsewhere have a great deal of maturing to do before they come to grips with the full scope of the GOP establishment’s corruption, including the talking points that keep gullible voters coming back for their rotten liberals over and over again.

If you’ll vote for an avowed progressive because of the letter in front of his name, you’ll vote for anyone.
