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.
That’s right. I think the GOP wants to destroy the TEA party, and this is their vehicle. Only a successful 3rd party bid that destroys the GOP will turn things around.
Sadly, we conservatives have two enemies to defeat; the RATS and the GOP.
Romney-Cheney vs Obama-Hillary!™...
Any ticket including Romney is another 4 years of obama, guarnteed!!!
Oh, and I am NOT voting for Romney..never was. But the thrashing I got for having the temerity to suggest Newt would be better off elswhere appears to be absent on this thread. I wonder if it is my handle?

In light of the success of the great state of Texas and the war on guns which is on the horizon, I recommend putting Governor Rick Perry on the ticket.
I am confident that Free Republic will remain an anti-leftist, pro-life and pro-freedom site, to the disappointment of Gauleiters and Commissars everwhere.
Not to this conservative
A PALIN/WEST TICKET is a great choice - with Newt in a prominent Cabinet position.
West could be learning the 'ropes' for the future & we need to start building a strong Conservative back-up crew for the future.
The current GOP as it is now is turning Conservatives off & there may come a time that we will have to form our own Conservative party or be slaves to the GOP/RAT parties forever.
Acceptable? No. Will I hold my nose. Probably. (rolls eyes). It’ll be painful.
>> But many evangelical Christians will vote 3rd party rather than vote Romney <<
Sure, but probably fewer than you think, at least in the eleven “swing” states.
Now if we think about a state-by-state breakdown, I suggest that the big anti-Mormon bloc on the conservative side is in states like SC, GA, AL, MS, LA, TX, OK, KS, WV, etc. But the GOP is bound to carry these states ANYWAY, so they don’t need to enter the analytical picture.
In the meantime, the BIGGEST group of anti-Mormon voters is not among conservative Christians. No, it’s clearly on the left side of the political spectrum, because (among other things) the liberals and “progressives” aren’t going to forget about the Mormons’ huge anti-homosexual-marriage campaigns in California and other states. But these voters are mostly concentrated in leftwing places that the GOP can’t carry under any circumstances — NY, IL, MA, VT, CA, OR, WA, etc. So again, here we have a group of states that don’t need to enter the analytical picture.
On the other hand, Christian evangelical anti-Mormons might or might not be an important factor in critical swing states like VA, FL, OH, WI and PA. Win those states and Romney wins the election. So that’s where the surveys and the polls and the analytical gurus need to be looking for anti-Mormon trends among evangelicals.
“I’ll be voting Libertarian this year. I don’t agree with everything the LP’s support, but at least they support limited government.”
Constitution Party for me, but my sister will be joining you. Usually we both vote Republican, and I always have. Not this time, if Willard is the best the RNC will allow.
If you vote Libertarian, you will be helping to re-elect Obama.
Assuming Romney is the noiminee, the Socialist tratiors within the Republican party have already given the White House to the radical, left-wing, socialist, gun-grabbing, pro-homosexual agenda, pro-abortion, pro-socialized medicine, anti-Christian, pro-illegal wing of our country. Obama vs. Romney will not decide whether or not an anti-American, Anti-Christian Socialist is POTUS, only WHICH anti-American, Anti-Christian Socialist is.
At least Obama will ruin our nation in the name of Liberalism and the Democrat party. Romney would do it in the name of “Conservatism” and the Republican party. A Romney presidency could be the death of Conservatism, and at the very least would severely damage its reputation for decades.
Besides that, I’d feel like a racist if I voted for Mitt over Barry, as they stand for the same things and have very similar records.
No. No Republican ticket with Romney at the top gets my vote.
Palin’s the one liberal elites hate the most - she’s be the best choice.
Would you eat a $hit sandwich if sugar was sprinkled over it?
“... the VP is meaningless unless the POTUS dies.”
Not necessarily true. Bush said that Cheney had influence in his administration.
