You are 100% correct. I mean, Romney has only been the GOP POTUS nominee for a few days since Rick Santorum backed out of the running, and.....he has already grabbed the lead over Obama in two polls. The Santorum speech tonight to the NRA was powerful, on target, and strongly supportive of the GOP ticket from top to bottom. Actually, if Romney is smart, he will consider Santorum as his VP choice!!!
Some of the over-the-top rambling by Freepers posting on the Romney candidacy is neither dignified, nor factual and acceptable for supposed conservatives. Where is their decency??? Some of the gutter verbage used is uncalled for coming from so-called American Patriots!!! Just like in the book “Animal Farm”, at the end of the story, no one could tell the difference between the “Pigs” & the “Humans”!!! They had both morphed into the same power hungry, controlling monsters, on the left and right side of the political spectrum!!! Both were equally evil to their core!!!
I sincerely do hope Mitt Romney chooses a bonafide conservative like Santorum, Rubio, Jindal, Bachmann, etc. I believe such a team would win big time come November, 2012!!!

Not sure that would be “smart”. Rick might not even be able to carry PA for the GOP Ticket. I firmly believe that is the main reason he left the race; polls showed him possibly losing his home State of PA to Romney. Also, he alienates more people than he would bring in. Rick is not good at speaking “off the cuff” and then has to spend days “explaining” that he really didn’t mean what he said. Now..........
......if Romney is smart, he’ll choose MARCO RUBIO as his VP choice. Rubio can cut into Obama’s Hispanic vote and he can carry Florida. Whoever wins FL, wins the White House. Rick is a nice guy, but he needs to move on with his life and get a real job in the Private Sector and support those 7 kids and his wife.

IF a someone like Santorum took a VP slot, he would lose his credibility. Also, if Romney lost, which despite these momentary polls, he will....it destroys Santorum as a contender in 2016. A true conservative, and wise one, would not ally himself with Romney.
I don’t use profanity in reference to Romney. I call it like it is; he is an insidious evil. Obama is obviously evil, which in a way makes him less of a threat. Hidden evil is always worse than what is open and obvious. As a Christian, I do not use the term “evil” lightly. Romney is a dedicated member of a psuedo-Christian cult. That makes him an instrument of evil, but candy coated so it isn’t easy to recognize. Also, staying strictly in secular politics, his terrible records on the 2nd Ammendment, Abortion, Judicial Appointments, over reaching government are well documented. He is not conservative in any sense. So, the combination of psuedo-conservatism and psuedo-Christianity makes him totally unacceptable.
Some scream about the fracturing of the GOP. Blame Romney and Ron Paul for that. Paul is a libertarian whack job and Romney is a liberal “Fat Cat” “Country Club” “Northeastern Liberal.” Neither he nor Paul should ever have been on the ballot of the GOP.
Folks, my oposition to Romney isn’t about wanting “purity.” It is about wanting someone remotely acceptable. Romney is not remotely acceptable. Plus, it offends me that he hasn’t won the nomination, he bought it.
Now is Mr. Obama a disaster as POTUS? No doubt about that! The ONLY good thing about his election in 2008 was that a Black Man was now electable in America. Unfortunately, Mr. Obama has set back race relations in this country. His is indeed dangerous, but he serves to rally conservatives to elect conservatives to the House and Senate where they can keep him in check. Romney won’t have anyone to keep him in check. The GOP members of congress will be brow beaten to go along with whatever nonsense he comes up with to do. So, I don’t see him as a real alternative to Mr. Obama. In fact, he could very well make things worse for establishing a conservative America.
So, I won’t support him. I won’t support Mr. Obama either. I am supporting congressional conservatives I can support in the fall. We have a good GOP congresswoman in my district that got elected in 2010...she needs to be kept in office. We have a terrible Dem Senator that needs to be removed...I will help on that. Putting Mr. Romney in place of Mr. Obama just doesn’t strike me as worth doing.
