Since Newt Gingrich is talking teamwork and cooperation with Romney & Santorum to defeat Obama, would Jim Robinson and conservative Free Republic people join me in accepting and pushing a Romney-Gingrich ticket. Frankly, I bristle at the mention of Romney-Nicki Halley or other RINO tickets. Personally, Romney would be very smart to put conservatives at the table of his campaign and administration team. Newt is so passionate about Big Ideas, reform and he knows how to push the levers of Congress. Mitt Romney can be a good president, however, with Newt on his team, Mitt Romney could be a great president. We need Gingrich's brains and political skill on the ticket and in the administration.
Brace yourself. :D
I was thinking the same thing.
How about Daffy Duck and Porky Pig?
Why even go there; Gingrich not going to take ‘second’ slot. . .
it’s the only possible way I could be anything other than horrified at the ticket.
how bout this - Romney and Gingrich would be not as bad as almost anything else I can think of.
Which room in the White House would be big enough to fit both egos?
I tried floating a not altogether different thought yesterday.
My ears are still ringing. :D
And not just from JR. Tho he was pretty darn clear.
I would not go for that unless it was known Romney had a terminal illness!
I think he would. He would be in charge of plenty.
Handle Congress. Handle the message. Handle some of the press. Handle the agenda.
Post twice in the wrong forum. THis is not News.
It would be ironic, given whats been speculated here about the other candidates in the race.
No.
Romney is a RINO. But that is better than a Marxist. So whomever Romney chooses for VP is a moot point to me. I have to vote for the RINO to vote against the Marxist.
Any ticket with Romney is a sure fire loser.
The man has all the brains and half the charm of Joe Biden.
That would be one of the two or three really strong tickets I could picture, the other would be one or the other of Romney or Gingrich, and Paul Ryan.
No.
It is the time for conservativves to get behind Newt, because he is the only force that will change the direction of this nomination before it is too late.
He has the best ideas and will outdebate Obama any day off the week. Newt set the table about energy policy last month, taking to to Obama. Romney and Santorum did squat.
Instead of going for the strong, but imperfect Newt, conservatives seem went for the seemingly perfect but weak Santorum.
I want Newt in the game as long as possible, because he will influence the party platform if we can get him to Tampa, and keep Willard from sewing it all up before then.
Not no way, not no how!
I cringed when Newt first announced he was running, I didn’t like him.
After Cain dropped out Newt seemed to be the best of bad options. Now, I don’t see any way mittens would accept Newt as running mate.
If it came down to it would you rather vote for Obummer or not vote at all which is a backdoor vote for the Brown Clown ?
I think a Romney/Gingrich ticket makes about as much sense as an Obama/Clinton ticket.
I'll be voting Libertarian this year. I don't agree with everything the LP’s support, but at least they support limited government.
The only difference between Romney and Obama is the color of their skin
PALIN/GINGRICH is my dream ticket/
When it comes the time of Romney v. Obama, will any news supportive of Romney still be unwanted in FR? Or the website will still take position of anti Romney site, with the risk of being one of the conservative sources that Obama campaign cite when they need justification to attack Romney on some issues?
It won’t happen.
Perhaps, if either one of them were in the least conservative. What's more important is how acceptable the ticket would be to the majority of voters. I'd vote for the devil to get the current kenyan marxist and his first wookie out of the white house.
I can guarantee you that Mitt will eventually pass on. Old age, if nothing else. We all have terminal illnesses.
Even if John the Baptist is his running mate, Romney is still a liberal abortion-lover, homosexual-panderer, Planned Parenthood fundraiser, Bible-denying cult member.

I would take Romney on the bottom of the ticket, but not on the top.
That said, pending sudden unexpected death, Romney is the GOP nominee, as the GOP leadership wants and as the MSM wants.
So I will hold my nose and vote against Obama by voting for Romney, with disgust and aggravation. It will be a very interesting race as regards the anti-Mormon vote. Many will vote against Obama because “It’s the economy, stupid.” But many evangelical Christians will vote 3rd party rather than vote Romney. If I understand correctly, they would rather die an unspeakably painful and sinister death than cast a vote for a Mormon.
(i.e., she endorsed Gingrich but who knows if she’ll eventually endorse Mitt)
I know that I'm not looking forward to President Mitt, however, I DO WANT want Jimmy Carter's 3rd term. (Jimmy didn't make as many SCREW UPS as O did)
If it's Mitt... I'll vote for him..if Rick pulls out the nomination...I'll be thrilled!! I'll be there helping get Rick elected!!
Anything that includes Willard is an absolute no-go for me.
Wow! It took 21 posts before the "Oooga Booga Booga" tactic showed up!
If all you've got is "Vote for Romney! Vote for Romney! If you don't you're voting for Obama!", then you've lost the argument, especially here on FreeRepublic.
I am not a Republican, I am a Conservative. I also live in CA and know that any vote I make is purely symbolic. I am done.
I don't want to hear any crap about moving to some place my vote will count. CA is coming to a town near you, and my weather is a lot better here. I am done.
I had one horse in this race, willing to do anything to get her elected, and they destroyed her before she could get to the gate. I would have fought for her to try and make my vote not symbolic. In 2008, I voted for the girl. Now, I'm done.
RNC; OTOH. . .seems determined to shoot itself in remaining 'foot'. They have yet to float a 'likely winner'; certainly Nikki Haley - as accomplished, as she is - is not a 'name recognized' vote getter; by any stretch.
Have no confidence; whatsoever; that these same who promoted Mitt; lo these many years; have the sense to come up with an acceptable running mate for Romney.
Up for surprises; however.
A ticket with Romney at the top guarantees Barry Sotero’s re-election.
The GOP will have lost the conservative vote. (period)
For all the hoopla about VP choice, the VP is meaningless unless the POTUS dies. Having the “right” VP means nothing. I care little that Gingrich could be #2 so long as Romney - aka Obama Lite - is in charge. A step in the right direction means nothing given a journey in the wrong direction.
Romney would only get my vote because he’s not out to become dictator like the Obama, and nobody else could get enough votes to ensure we remain a republic.
Why would Gingrich want to become toady to a liberal?
No ticket with Romney anywhere on it should be acceptable to any true conservative. Romney is a Liberal, Socialist, pro-socialized medicine, pro-abortion, anti-relgious freedom, pro-illegal, pro-homosexual agenda, Big Government, gun grabbing, liar. That is how he governed in Massachussetts and how her campaigned for governor and senator.
I’d rather deal with a wolf in wolf’s clothing, than a wolf in a very, poor quality sheep costume.
We still have a nation that desperately needs to be saved - from Obama,Inc..
There is pretty much not a Republican ticket that I would not support against Obama at this point. Obama is destroying this country.
If a right-leaning moderate (e.g. Pawlenty) won the nomination, that would work for me.
Romney has been undermining both the party and conservatives since McCains run, largely using proxies.
If we tolerate that, and even forget all about it, we will get more of the same.
If Obama wins, many believe that the country will be too far gone to save by 2017.
If Romney wins, many of us believe taht we will only get to choose between differnt flavors of the same poison forever.
At some point, you have to show you are not bluffing.
I am afraid this is that point, at least for me.
No Romney.
Mitt Romney & Allen West
And lest any of you take offense at quoting the architect of the first welfare state, let me point to a similar sentiment expressed by one of the forefathers of modern conservatism, John Dalberg, the First Baron Acton:
At all times sincere friends of freedom have been rare, and its triumphs have been due to minorities, that have prevailed by associating themselves with auxiliaries whose objects differed from their own; . . .
of course Lord Acton goes on to warn us
. . . and this association, which is always dangerous, has been sometimes disastrous, by giving to opponents just grounds of opposition.
Even if John the Baptist is his running mate, Romney is still a liberal abortion-lover, homosexual-panderer, Planned Parenthood fundraiser, Bible-denying cult member.
Now that there is funny, ma’am.
Gingrich on the ticket would just reinforce the worst tendencies of each. There seems to be amnesia about Newt’s “statist deviations” on such matters as AGW, amnesty, and other matters. There is nothing acceptable about Romney other than his hair.
Romney has done nothing but ignore or insult conservatives. He’s repeatedly telegraphed his intent to lose his “severe conservatism” after winning the nomination.
He’s going to settle somewhere between Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama.
Romney as the GOP candidate is like boarding the Titanic after they hit the iceberg.
Romney will be destroyed by hundreds of sound bytes released by democrat media dogs. They will bring his candidacy down with the truth about romney, and there will be no way we can stop them.
It doesn't matter what we do. Romney will be showed to be such a terrible choice his campaign will result in an electoral route the likes of which we have never seen.
He can't even unite his own base. They already know him.
He can't unite minorities. Anyone who does 10 minutes of honest research will learn why. DO IT NOW...
Romney means the end of the GOP forever.
>>>I would not go for that unless it was known Romney had a terminal illness!<<<
I’d be in under those conditions as well, provided he had less than 75 days to live.
