Id prefer the Republican nominee to be Newt but at the end of the day I dont care who it is. Ill vote for any of them. Not me. I'll skip the top of the ticket and just vote everything beneath it. Let Williard see a massive undervote in CA (which he won't win in Nov. anyway) and he and the Republican Establishment might see that we don't just fall in line.

One of the problems about reading this site is you start thinking that all GOPers think like people here. Bad news is they dont! There is a surprisingly large number of GOPers who have bought into the GOP elite line regarding Romney. Superficially Romney makes sense. In 2008 I bought into the notion that Romney was more conservative then McCain. (Probably my dislike for McCain biased my viewpoint!) My 80 year long time GOP Parents (GOP party workers and former local & state officials!) are pro-Romney and refuge to consider anything negative about him! At work a majority of GOPers I know are pro-Romney and why all others are too radical or too mean and Romney is electable. Contrary facts and arguments dont fly, so I have given up discussing it with them.
Except the primaries that have already happened don't support your conclusion.
Romney has done well in states that he will not win against Obama and has mostly only either broken even or done horribly in states he should win in November.
The base is absolutely not supporting him.

“I am so F@@@@@@ sick of those Conservative Utopians$ we need to defeat Obama. Period. We dont need a hero. We need ANYONE who will dave us from. Obama. Wake up freepers.”
AMEN!
Running against a lying moronic ignoramus communist Muslim [who is mentally ill] is pretty simple. Just put the description of the WH occupier in every Republican and PAC advertizement
BTW: I hope all conservatives are campaigning and voting in their respective Republican primaries for the real conservative if the incumbent is a RINO.

He has made it clear that he will go scorched earth on us if he wins again.
He's going to go scorched earth on Romney if he is the nominee.

Your problem, and everyone else supporting Romney, is that he is a LYING, left-wing, Progressive Liberal as his record shows, and you can bet your house Obama and the media will be using that day in and day out to destroy the candidacy of Romeny.

We dont need a hero.Well we sure as hell don't have one in Romney!

It looks pretty bleak regardless of the nominee.
That is why the house and SENATE are so important.

Mark Levin was covering this tonight. 91% of Romney ad dollars went to smearing GOP candidates and not promoting himself or bashing Obummer. What a swell guy. What burns me is that the GOPe is going to blame Conservatives that it is our unwillingness to roll over and allow Milt to be the nominee now that is damaging to the party. BS. Romney is the one who has singlehandedly destroyed party unity and any good will towards him. He can screw.

Romneys ads will play just fine against Obama. No they won't. Been here before, the press will start hammering the negative thing over and over again until Romney can't use his attack ads. There will be polls saying the people are sick of negative campaigning (which by the way is true) and the attack ads will be impossible to run.
So what does Romney do then? How does he campaign when his Alinsky ads are gone?

That's nuts. Don't buy into it. Obama has a record 10 Romneys and all that hate him wouldn't want.
It doesn't matter.
The DNC base doesn't care, but the GOP base actually has scruples, standards and morals, they do care.
Enough of the base and the conservative independents won't touch Romney with a ten-foot poll after Obama and his media get through pounding Romney with his OWN record and beating his candidacy into a bloody pulp.

We need to push back hard against the GOP-E and the willing conservative accomplices when this occurs.
We need to make sure they own the problem, since they are the ones who created it.

Statist Romney or Socialist Obama? Hmmm. Thats like giving me a razor blade and giving me a choice to slit my wrists or my throat.

Do not fool yourself into thinking that Santorum and Newt wouldn’t have run vicious attack ads against Romney, if they had had the money. They would have done so in a heartbeat.
And it seems to me that the anti-Romney people on web-sites, blogs and Twitter are just as vicious; they just don’t have the money for a wider range of ads.
Politics is not tiddlywinks. This is the reality of extended primaries, and it is a repeat of what happened in 2000.

Sorry, but nothing of either Newt's or Rick's character or demeanor or their records support your contention.
Furthermore, Romney's lies and character assasination efforts are well documented and pervasive.
Not buying it for a second.
Romney is a lying, left-wing Progressive Liberal as his own documented record shows quite clearly.
To: dinoparty
Fighting liberalism isn’t just about fighting one man, it’s about fighting an ideology. And if you let that ideology infect your own side at the highest levels how do you EVER put up a fight against it EVER again? What would have been more dangerous when fighting the Soviets, the Cold War as we fought it, or the Cold War if we elected a Soviet party member as our own president?

One of the problems about reading this site is you start thinking that all GOPers think like people here. Bad news is they dont!Actually, in this case, it is good news that they don't. Otherwise Obama would be reelected. Any Republican, even Ron Paul, is preferable to another Obama term and his appointments/executive orders/destruction of our military. He was caught on an open microphone conspiring to betray our missile defense system. He wants to strip us of our ability to prevent a nuclear attack and to respond to the same. There is no way I can take anyone seriously who equates any of the Republican nominees with this socialist traitor.

No way. Tell me what election cycle where one of the candidates spend 91% of their ad budget on attacking the other candidates. It never happened. All the money to destroy the other candidates and all he can muster is 41% of the GOP vote thus far with Rick coming in close in contests with a limited budget.
The other huge issue with Milt is that you can go down the list of the other three candidates and list at least 2 issues you know are important to them through their messaging. Milt has nothing. Even his economic plan is 59 points of muddy garbage. Romney is a huge loser that the GOPe is pushing hard for and they can't even give Conservatives a reason to vote for him other than he isn't Obummer.

They would have done so in a heartbeat.They wouldn't have run dishonest, lying ads. Of course with Mitt, they wouldn't have needed to. Just look at the ads they did do on him. They pointed out his liberal record truthfully. Meanwhile the lefty liberal progressive Romney put out lying ads claiming Newt and Rick were liberals. Truth matters.
