Because only men remain in the hunt. Bachmann dropped out long ago due to lack of support.

If you are thinking of Palin, she is primarily a TV personality now. I don’t think she will ever again offer for high national office.

I.B., sorry, my error. I didn't realize that your first sentence was a quote.

I have a bad habit of sometimes scanning posts rather than reading them completely.

hmmmm....If Romney gets elected, will you continue this daily assault? Just wondering...

Why would I stop, it's his record.

Are you ashamed of his record?

Is it something we should hide?

Listen, if he is your guy, why run away from his record?

To answer your question, I'll be posting his record up to and including the day of the election if Jim will let me.

I don’t know how things work out but I’m smart enough not to root against the only guy, at this point, that can eject Hussein from the People’s house.

That's where you are wrong. The exact opposite is true, he is the only candidate who will guarantee an Obama win and this is verified by the very articles you are taking me to task for posting.

The content of those very articles will be used by Obama and his minions in the Media to destroy the candidacy of Romney if he is nominated.

...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...

Could you point me to the post that led you to believe anyone was suggesting that any republican should be voting for Obama, because I can't find it.

Don't think anyone will notice how old these articles you are posting are?

I'm assuming you, and every other poster on FreeRepublic can read, or is that an incorrect assumption?

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

Now, not so much.


So show me how the passage of a few months have changed the factors that this author presents as obstacles for Romney to overcome to get elected:

1) People just don’t like Mitt:
2) He’s a proven political loser:
3) Running weak in the southern states:
4) His advantages disappear in a general election:
5) Bain Capital:

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

I understand the need for you to hope for that type of conclusion to this problem, however, there is nothing in Romney political career that would lend you or I hope that this is plausible.

What has changed is the answer to the question "Therefore what?"

In December the answer to this question might have been "Nominate someone else."

Now the answer is what?

Oh boy...let's run the guy who lost to McCain last time to run against the guy McCain then lost to. Great plan. I love that plan. What could go wrong with such a great plan?

Here's one problem: By the time obama and company finishes spending $1 Billion doing to Romney what Romney did to the Republican primary field, obama, dirty tricks and all, against "Let's hold our noses and vote for Romney!" will end with an obama landslide.

Which will give obama both a popular MANDATE and a second term with no fear of another election.

Yeah, love this plan.

I think that if she is asked, she will serve. IMHO. And, she is the only person that I can think of at this date that can whip Obama. Romney is the only one of the four that can get nominated and that’s dubious unless there are some quitters, but if he does, way too much of the conservative base will sit out the General. Romney can’t win. That’s our only chance that I can see.

There are people who sadly think Romney has a chance and they are going to ignore everything you just said.

It will all hinge on the debates between Oblamer and Mitt.

If Mitt can make Oblamer look like the fool he is, then Mitt wins.

If Oblamer manipulates and character assassinates Mitt like most sleazy democraps do, then Oblamer wins.

I have a feeling Mitt will hit hard on issues like free markets vs. socialism. Any Mitt doubters cannot deny that Mitt’s business acumen is far above a loser President who hasn’t run a company in his life.

Obama will look like a simpleton when discussing economics vs. a business guy like Mitt.

I really think the debates will change the game at some point. Recall how Reagan made some key soundbyte wins in the debates and then there was no looking back for Reagan?

The only difference between Rommey and Obama is Mitt will slow the Socialism Express Bus down to a mere 100-mph before he drives America right off Freedom/Liberty cliff instead the of 200-mph that BO is currently at.

===”Could you point me to the post that led you to believe anyone was suggesting that any republican should be voting for Obama, because I can’t find it.”

A conservative not voting at all out of pride (e.g. “I won’t vote for a RINO”) is one less vote to fight Obama.

The real question is do conservatives want Obama or a RINO. Two choices, folks.

I wish Cain was in the running.

MandateMitt, the fascists’ desperation candidate. And if selecte-nominated, should his poll numbers drop vs The Undocumented Fake, watch for the desperation file to be pulled out, forcing The Undocumented Fake to step aside.

We know what Obama is all about- an American hating Marxist.
We have to get him out of office, and get his minions out of key positions in the Fed. Govt. and stop him from appointing more left wing justices.

We have to play the lousy hand we are dealt by the Republicans. Staying home and not voting is giving the go ahead to the Marxists to destroy this country.

Cutting off your nose to spite your face is OK if it's just your nose that is involved. Unfortunaely we are talking about further getting our Constitution thrashed, and our great country, military,and Supreme court put into shambles with 4 more years of Obama and his high placed minions.

So I suggest not cutting off your nose, just hold it and vote against Obama. - tom

Sorry, but I can't vote for someone who is as left-wing, who is constantly lying, who will destroy the GOP if he was elected.

And frankly, Mitt can't win, he'll be destroyed.

I'll spend my time in more productive manners supporting those down-ticket who are actually republican AND conservative.

There are three more that don't involve dishonoring yourself as a conservative:

1. Vote Third-Party
2. Write-in
3. Leave it blank.

You, I, and everyone else who is even slighly informed KNOWS that this will occur and that the media will be screaming it 24/7 until the election.

Like I've been saying, Mitt Romney is toast before he even starts.
