I am “banking” my political fires.

I will sit this one out until election day and I will vote for Romney if I have to, but I do not expect much from Romney in the way of Conservative politics and will not send him a penny.

ALL CONSERVATIVES SHOULD VOTE OBAMA AND DESTROY THE GOP.

So you’ve decided the GOP Primary has stopped and anyone who is still behind a non-Romney candidate will be the cause of U.S. troop deaths?

You think wrong.

But Romney’s got what voters crave... He’s got electability.

If they vote Obama, they are by definition not conservatives. They would be the wacko far right wing.

The GOP-e destroyed itself when it foisted Romney on us as it’s chosen nominee and worked to destroy conservatives across the board to ensure it.

Americans even here have absolutely no clue what time it is. But the Ruling Class oligarchs in the new order have you all dancing to their tune and singing their song to keep the illusion alive.

By the time most wake up to what time it really is, there isn’t going to be time enough to save themselves.

It is tempting. Obama is the perfect anvil to hammer the GOP-e against in this massive political game of chicken. The Monied Mormon better not stray to far left or piss me off over the next 6 months. I may vote against him because I am a vindictive A##Hole.

Bobby Jindal endorsed Romney?

Yep - makes one wonder how long it takes for a real conservative to become corrupt. Both Rubio and Jindal have taken steps to the Left and one must assume they were faking the conservative spiel, are hooking their wagons to what they think will further their political career despite damaging the Nation, or both.

We were so quick to get solidly behing both of them as minority "conservatives" and never really vetted them through all the fawning.

Romney is toxic and is ruining everything. Think how this primary would have gone without Willard’s involvement.

Romney is as radically liberal as any candidate the democrats have ever run.

It is downright scary how true your statement is.

Romney should have run as a Democrat. I still don't see anything he did as Governor of MA that qualifies him to receive the votes of conservatives.

His "severely Conservative" values have as much stability as a drawing in an Etch-a-Sketch.

Even his campaign advisors have admitted as much.

Newt to Tampa!

I am waiting to see if Newt has a hope in hell, before considering whether I have become an enemy of the GOP, full bore.

As a Republican of national stature, it is expected that Santorum will eventually endorse Romney. His interview with Greta was interesting, though. I watched it. Greta asked him about endorsing Romney. He sidestepped the question and mentioned something about other candidates still being in the race. He did not endorse Romney during this first TV interview since he dropped out. Although nothing specific was said, it was obvious that Santorum was not enthusiastic about Romney.

I think that Santorum will eventually endorse Romney. It is what is expected of major players in the Republican Party. He may even talk about enthusiastic support for him. But it is obvious also that such an endorsement will be a reluctant one.

Not true. Conservatives followed your logic in 2008, 2010, but NOW?

They will vote revenge.The GOP have betrayed conservatives twice and will not a third.

And most conservatives would rather have Obama than Romney, simply because it will reveal to the nation the dangers of liberal fascism.Its time for a showdown.And then the GOP dies, as it should.

Yep. I certainly agree with you about Greta. She puts all others to shame.

There is no revenge.

There is merely irrational, mindless stupidity in voting for Obama

You are right aboout Santorum.

Turht be told, Romney is the antithesis to all of Rick’s values.

Rick is passionately pro-life—how can he support someone who gave MA the $ 50 abortion?

How can he support a man who was passionately pro-choice until someone gave him an Etch-a-Sketch?

What Rick does will forever speak volumes about his true character and his true purpose in this race.

To me, there is a clear choice—suppport Newt to stop Romney.

Romney is worse than McCain, and McCain was the biggest black eye the GOP-E ever gave to us and to America.

Their abuse has to end.

‘________informed ahead of time that Sarah Palin is appearing_______’

No one informed you Sarah-with-an-h was on at 9pm Pacific, Saturday? Not that I really knew, either. So glad I caught it.
She co-hosted a show with Eric Bolling (the stutterer(sp?!) well, when he’s on ‘The Five.’ He was better here. There was a live audience.
Subject was mostly OIL.
Sarah was SMASHing!!! At ease. Very good at co-hosting.
Oh - and beautiful!!!
Can see the ‘pro’ in her.

I will never vote for a radical liberal, not Romney and not Obama.

I will find an acceptable, reasonable conservative in this race for whom to vote.

My sense is that it will be the Constitution Party candidate.

Conservatives voting for a conservative will send all the messsage we need to send. I will not focus on message sending. I’ll focus on actually winning.
