Fox News & CNN are projecting Romney wins MD in their banners.
Santorum wasn't on the DC ballot.
Wisconsin polls close at 8pm CDT/9pm EDT.
You don’t need to convince me re Romney, and I take you at your word re Newt. I’m just saying some people were very harsh re Newt. It was particularly bad between the South Carolina and Florida primaries.
I’m with you. If Romney is the nominee, I’ll hold my nose and vote for him. If he starts toward the left, I’ll do what most Republicans will do and remind him of his obligation to the conservatives who voted for him. This is important folks! No time to whine because we didn’t get our way!
And before you implicate me as a Romneybot, I was a Florida consultant for Herman Cain’s campaign and have worked with the RPOF to get Gingrich supporters on as delegates, in case there’s no clear candidate by.the convention.
wow.. well said.. I couldn’t have said it better myself... well i might have been able to.. but i didn’t haha.. we are sick of losing.. hello.. Romney stands a zero percent chance of winning the general election.. see Dole and Mccain for references on that... Our only chance left is a brokered convention.. we must fight for that with everything we have..
Obama is as White as he is Black.
When he first ran for Congress in 2000 in the primary against fellow rat Bobby Rush he was smeared by Rush and his people as “half-white with a weird name”. A few years later he was the great Black hope.
That's not true,... however I will concede that those who listen 'ONLY' with the ears of faith might say that. But we are not voting for a new Pastor, we are voting for a President, a 'nation leader'....And we need both the ears of faith AND our intellect to make right judgments concerning our choice of candidate...just as we are called to do, and we make right judgments by examining the facts of a candidates voting history, his political moves and motives, and the results if any of his accomplishments.
The left has turned this into a religion thing and your would think conservatives would not fall for it.
Rick was not insulted on his 'beliefs'...he was vetted and continues to be on the social issues he's spoken of,... but it is 'he' who chose to present his positions with a strong heavy "religious" view, ignoring those who were wisely advising him to tread soft in doing so. And for that left himself wide open to be pushed into the corner..and he was...the LEFT simply picked up the ball he gave them. Again this is a Presidential Primary race not a Pastoral race.
I take your insults personal. It seems you want to make us Christians hid our beliefs; not talk about them. I answer to God and not anyone else.
If you truly believe you answer to God then you also know that there is a time and place, as well as degree, in which you speak about the things of God.... Mentioning your faith in God is fine in a Presidential race, most Presidents have done so when the occasion might call for it, but especially if you use that to under gird the Constitution and the Founding Fathers of our country as Newt did....and returning our nation to a nation Under God as it was intended to begin with. .........Santorum brow-beated people with a self-righteousness which was both offensive and degrading, especially to those who haven't faith. So he came across as a Preacher, and worse that He himself as the the authority of what one should believe.
I am a Christian and I realize that all Christians are at various levels of understanding their faith, and when or not it is appropriate to speak of.... More damage has been done to Christianity by those who speak before they think much about the environment they are in, if or not the hearer is prepared, let alone if or not by the prompting of God..... Santorum stepped ahead, and outside, the reasonable parameters of a statesman....and took things to a level one might hear from a Hell-Fire and Brimstone Preacher....and the outcome he brought on himself.
Rick could of used a lot more "Grace" in how he presented his faith...true statesman know how to do that.
"There is an appointed time for everything.... And there is a time for every event.......A time to be silent and a time to speak"....Ecclesiastes 3:1
“Also, like a Freeper said earlier, this is the first time that neither Presidential candidate will be a Christian.”
Not true. The election of 1800 between Jefferson and John Adams was another one, neither of those two believed in the divinity of Christ, the Trinity, the Virgin Birth or Bible inerrancy. Can you be a Christian and not believe?
And if we carefully examined every president and every presidential candidate, how much of true Christianity would we find? Should I remind you that not so long ago, Catholicism was held to be the religion of the Antichrist by great many Protestant denominations? And conversely, are those outside the Catholic Church regarded as true Christians by that Church? It seems you care more about outward appearance and not in what is inside the man.

Folks, please do not vote for Romney if you have an iota of principle. Ask yourselves this: what is worse an Obama 2nd term with congressional opposition or a Romney presidency with the republican congress singing “Kumbaya”? I dont know the answer but we have to stop rewarding lefty republicans if we want to stop getting them.
I am voting for the most conservative candidate And I seriously doubt it will Romney.
“What has Rick done in the Senate that showed him to be a conservative??”
His ACU (American Conservative Union) lifetime rating is 88, versus 90 for Newt. His last year in office it was 91.
I’m pretty sure their site has a scorecard.
Conservatives aren’t coming out in droves for Santorum because they probably know that he’s no rock-ribbed conservative.
Failing that, there’s the fact that he’s about as exciting as buttered toast. I went to one of his campaign rallies in Zelienople, PA and I literally could not understand why the people around me were hanging on his every word. Even John McCain was more interesting in ‘08.
But despite all that, if Santorum had a chance, you better believe I’d vote for him. We can’t afford to be too particular with Obummer in the White House. But even so, we have to have our limits, or what do we really believe in: conservatism or the Republican Party? That’s why I’ll never vote for Romney.
“The GOP will outlive both you and I.”
On some level I’m sure that’s true. On the other hand, I’m sure there were many Tories that thought their party would endure as a meaningful political force.
This election is making it clear that there’s a place for a truly conservative/libertarian party in this country. We’ll see how things pan out.
Nope...
Various news sites, plus I heard that Michael Moore advocating the left voting for Rick..
‘Folks, please do not vote for Romney if you have an iota of principle. Ask yourselves this: what is worse an Obama 2nd term with congressional opposition or a Romney presidency with the republican congress singing “Kumbaya”?’
Sadly, this is wrongheaded. If 0 gets another term, he will likely appoint AT LEAST two more Supreme Court justices.
He may be railing against “judicial activism” right now, but if he gets the fix in with the Supreme Court, you can’t image the damage that will be done to America. Don’t forget that means a liberal majority for something like 40 more years. Romney may not nominate the ideal judges, but he will likely be better than 0, who will nominate full-fledged leftists.
So, this coming election will have to be about pragmatism and common sense if we’re to save America.
Romney’s record on judge appointments is horrible. My biggest fear is he will ruin congress. Look at what GWB did to congress. Remember the debate where Santorum had to explain his votes under GWB when he supported his leftist social policies? He got beat up for his explaination that it is a team sport. Don’t think for a second there isn’t truth to that. The only way Romney gets my vote is if he convinces me he will have a conservative agenda. He hasn’t convinced me of that now and, once he shakes the Etch a Sketch and runs left, I don’t see him convincing me of that after the convention. We shall see.
There were still working-class whites living in DC in 1964, before the 1968 riots.
I didn't let "them" tell is it was over, I looked at the math and came to the realization all by myself. There is no way to prevent Romney from winning the necessary delegates now. I still hope Newt stays in just to give him a platform, but at this point it is clear he won't be the nominee under any circumstances. As for Santorum, a guy who can't resist being bated into talking about condoms and porn was never going to be the nominee and simply isn't seen by enough GOP primary voters whom were looking for a non-Romney as a credible alternative.
Funny how you signed up here right after Obama was nominated, interesting that you would be pushing for an Obama victory.
Pray for America
Great post!
