Never thought as a loyal long time member of FR who has never voted D for president that I would be called stupid for supporting one GOP primary candidate over another.
For most republicans, WINNING is the bottom line, and they feel there is a better chance of beating Obama with Romney. Thats not what _I_ think, but its what most republicans probably do. Its just how it is.
I plan on voting for Newt today during an extended lunch hour.
Did you see Romney’s sing-along on TV? That chilled to the bone!
I think people see Romney playing dirty against Gingrich, and are hoping he will do the same to Obama.
You are correct. I pulled the lever for Newt, but mostly because he’s the closest to a good option. He has many weaknesses. While I think Mitt is a terrible option, he is presented as a polished, business savvy guy. That is appealing to some. Also, with the money advantage and the monolith, conservative media front for Mitt, there is no doubt they have a big impact.
OK, thanks.
I was watching Fox this morning and some old bat who is a Romney supporter says the party will come together when this is all over, ( implying after Romney wins..) I say F that! I’ll never support that MORmON liberal candidate!
I came to the same position after they destroyed Cain and Sarah. America will get what it votes for. I am no longer running around Florida or trekking off to DC to try to wake up the sleeping or ignorant.
I will vote today but I am now totally focused on preparing for Obama 2012. If it doesn’t happen I will have learned how to can, raise chickens, garden, grind wheat etc. If it does I will somewhat prepared. Oh.. I am now armed.
I agree with you and it sure does not help to hear the local conservative radio hosts down here talking the same way. I heard it yesterday early in the morning that Newt is said to be someone who does not follow through and is unstable. That the public is nervous about voting for him. The host said it came from very credible sources. I sent him some information and never did hear back. We the public are not being very well served by many of these supposed conservative media!

People who have worked with Romney report that he is a mean, unlikable SOB.
Believe the media’s polls at your own peril.
Romney sent out absentee ballots to all registered voters in Florida along with campaign material. Also, don’t over estimate the public being as informed as Freepers. I can’t tell you the number of hard core conservatives I know who just don’t know about Romney and are only looking at what he says now.
The electorate only has info that is given to them. Not everyone is a FReeper nor do they know the depth of the duplicity of the press.
What the heck was that for? Its a simple and concise post, and surely correct if the polls are to be believed.
I take it that you don’t know that poster well. I do.
So, knowing what we know why would we want to face Obama with another Obama?
