“Christie, again, the weight issue.”

“William Howard Taft who frequently tipped the scales at over 300 pounds.
edit:little fact, president Taft need to enlarge the white house bath tub to fit in it. Four of its workers could fit in it compared to one president fitting in it”

[Dr.Zoidberg]

...History Says Mitt's the Man for 2012.

That's a pair of erroneous assumptions right off the bat.

No more hype, no more Myth.

[Graybeard58]

Please clarify...are you stating that if he were the nominee you would stay home or throw away your vote on a third party or write-in?

The question wasn't addressed to me but here's my answer anyway:

Yes.

[Crichton]

This could apply to Mike Huckabee as well.

Delegates won:

John McCain 1,575
Mike Huckabee 278
Mitt Romney 271

States Romney won:

Mormon-dominated or influenced primary or caucus: Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, North Dakota, Colorado
Heredity: Michigan
Home state/region: Massachusetts
Other: Minnesota, Maine

Medved has the appeal of a wet dog that slept in a garbage can overnight and then walked in your house and crapped on the rug.

Thanks for your honesty. Now please explain why you would prefer four more years of obama...

"So F U and your b-ll sh-t attempt at the same "fear politics" the dems use to keep their voters on the plantation."

Pardon me, what did I say that you consider fear politics?

[Dudoight]

He’s the only one I wouldn’t vote for.

Same here.

[Brices Crossroads]

“If Romney get the nomination. IF. Then people need to vote for him. Its a tough pill to swallow, I know, but I seriously doubt that this nation can survive another 4 years under Obama.”

No. Just no.

[Brices Crossroads]

“I think its going to be Romney. No one else has his organization, skills and talent. Unless someone else makes a good run, history says Romney is the presumptive favorite to beat.”

Back pushing Romney on FR? You aren’t going to be here long.

[Mama Shawna]

He's the only one I wouldn't vote for.

You got that right! I had no intention of voting for McCain until Sarah came along. McCain only got the number of votes he did because of her. Would have went down IN FLAMES if he'd picked any one else! Medved can go suck an egg.

"Pardon me, what did I say that you consider fear politics?"

"The thing is...Will there even be an America if the marxist wins another 4 years?"

This is the argument that has been used by Rinos to get us to vote for them. Wont work any longer...

[Celtic Cross]

1) Do you think America will survive another Obama term?

2) Are you implying that I am a RINO?

[freeplancer]

Stay classy. FR used to be a nice place until all you newbies showed up AFTER the two most pivotalt political elections in modern history. You are such a good conservative that you somehow did not find FR until ‘07. There was never name calling and petty religion attacks or cuss words. You are a troll and probably a liberal on loan from DU. Your username shouts granola liberal idiot. Have a good one fraudster, and keep that good karma going.

[myself6]

I am implying that you are implying that if we dont vote for romney that “America” is screwed.

I am also implying that anyone who supports the marxist rino can go F him/herself with something sharp and rusty.

Lets define the “America” that exists and what it is that will or will not “survive” another 4 years of marxist control. “America” is most decidedly NOT what the founders intended any longer. “America” is now a socialist tyranny, and it has been for DECADES. Obama and his merry band of Marxists just speed up the process a bit.

The freedom and liberty that the founders intended and the constitution was meant to protect are GONE. There is NOTHING to “save”. So electing a F’ing POS socialist, even if he is less of a socialist than Obama does Absolutely NO F’ing GOOD. None.. zero... zip... In fact it does MORE HARM than even “breaking even”, It solidifies the advances made by the radical socilists....

If the choice is between a radical conservative and obama I will choose the radical conservative.
If the choice is between romney and Obama I will choose Obama. why? Because it will further embolden the POS marxists to continue their rampage and that will lead to the further radicalization of the conservative movement.

You people just dont seem to understand that we mean to get our F’ing freedom back. Real freedom. Real Liberty... From the liberals, from the collective, and from the F’ing MONSTER that the fedgov has become. The ONLY way of achieving the rebirth of that freedom is through the death of the entity that crushed it.

So... Do i care if YOUR corrupt and tainted version of “America” survives another Obama term? F no... I hope it dies a quick death.. So we can go about rebuilding what the founders of the union of States intended. Real freedom. Real Liberty. to succeed AND fail...

At the risk of sounding like "let's move," 300 is unhealthy, if there's not much muscle. Maybe Christie has hit that mark, or not all that far away. I'm overweight myself (gluttony/ill health; not an admirable quality or condition:)).

IMO, the GOP really needs to pull out their bibles and beads and pray, so we can get ourselves a decent candidate.

[Lysandru]

Medved hasn't gotten the memo, has he? As a matter of fact, he is right about the historical record of Republican primary voters. The problem is that he is assuming that conditions are "normal." But these are not normal times.

In fact, stating that Romney is acceptable to the Tea Party faction shows that Medved is not in touch with the political reality at this moment. In fact, Romney seems to be deliberately courting the non-Tea Party factions of the GOP. Romney does have organization and the support of insiders, but I will bet you $50 that Sarah Palin has bigger name recognition (and that's both for good and for ill).

[Diogenesis]

No one will vote for Romney unless they are drugged
or part of his cheat brigade across state lines.

[abbyg55]

If Romney get the nomination. IF. Then people need to vote for him.

We can't win the war by discussing terms of surrender before the first battle.
