[true believer forever]

I have a little group of young grassrooters I supervise, and they were feeling a little down at how the coronation of Romney was beginning in earnest, so I posted this to them on Friday morning - and they are feeling much better, and have a skip in their step once again.

If you have need of a little encouragement while you keep working for Newt, I hope this helps atleast a litte.

[freekitty]

I don’t like any of the candidates; but they are trying to suck the life out of another one in the way of the one they want; not who we want.

I would say everyone vote for Newt not that he is any better; but get rod of Soros and Obama.

[MestaMachine]

I am working for my country...and right now, that means Newt. There is no one else left standing. I am disappointed that Sarah seems, according to you, ready to cave, and hope it isn’t true.

[Edison]

I believe she voted for Newt or indicated she would. There comes a time when all Republicans will have to come together and no Romney was not my first or second choice. Let’s not cut off our noses to spite our face.

[nickcarraway]

I would never vote for that back-stabbing anti-conservative. He can go back to working for Nancy Pelosi and trying to get global warming bills passed to destroy American business. I’m sick of he and Romney being pushed on us.

The old principal bears repeating:

If you admit you are defeated, you are.

Don't give up before the fight is over and say you are being realistic. The odds don't matter, fighting the good fight does.

So now Sarah Palin is, in effect, “voting for Obama”?

I think not.

[mnehring]

..she was pretty much endorsing Romney. I suspect she will hold her cards, won’t jump into the fray until the convention...

Which is it?

[Nifster]

“I’ve been worried about her since she showed up so ungraciously during the summer to rain on the parade of some of the more conservative candidates…”

Your perspective is so skewed it borders on PDS. You apparently do not remember even the recent past.

Be that as it may I plan to vote my conscience in the primary as I always have. In the general I will do whatever it takes to do two things

1)have as many conservatives as possible elected to the House and Senate
2)make sure that Obama does NOT have a second term.

[D-fendr]

Thanks. Supporting Newt and looking forward to voting for him here..

[Cicero]

Nonsense. It was clear to everyone that she supported Newt. If he fell into third place in the running, and now may not be able to head Mitt off at the pass, that certainly wasn’t her fault.

[sickoflibs]

RE “If you listened closely to Sarah tonight on Levin’s program, she was pretty much endorsing Romney. I suspect she will hold her cards, won’t jump into the fray until the convention, where she will get maximum exposure for her particular agenda. And then she will play the good citizen role and support Romney. I’ve been worried about her since she showed up so ungraciously during the summer to rain on the parade of some of the more conservative candidates…”

NOOOO, Not Sarah tooo ....How could this be??? She's not going to reload and take out Romney???

How could this happen??

[Christie at the beach]

I just do not understand how conservatives and alike will vote for Romney with all of the radical polices in which he set into law. It is like seeing the titanic going down. People are giving in and giving up to the media’s wants. If we all form a unity, we can stop the party from forcing Mitt upon us. All of these so called talk show pundits that made their wealth and fame on conservatism, left it when they need to fight along with those of us who are at the grassroots.

[RitaOK]

I just posted an opinion elsewhere on a Cain thread, who today reportedly endorses Romney, addressing the GRANDE COP-OUT to retain fame and fortune and fu-fu life style.

The fall back phrase for the GRANDE COP-OUT is this one;
“ABO”!

My suggestion is that these so-called “conservatives” are BLING, as opposed to the real thing and they are showing themselves before the PRIMARY, a travesty! The primary is the last bastion of the people’s VOICE, and for any protest.

To avoid appearing TOO concervative when things get tough, we’re seeing “conservatives” falling over, caving in, and to the very cabal many of them collect paychecks to oppose!

Everyone wants to be a Paul Revere, but there is not a William Wallace among them, willing to go to the rack for freedom.

It’s so much easier to ride through the cobblestone streets on your conservative high horse sounding out, “Obama is coming”, “Obama is coming”, but then collapse and shut down the fight when it gets tough.

These people are making a choice. There choice is a preference for Romney’s sins over NEWT’s, which were but personal, hardly of national impact upon the people. Of the two, only one repented and reformed.

Go figure.

Newt was never for abortion, gay marriage, mandating socialism and charging the Catholic Church for the abortion provided in it, in MA, etc., etc.

The primary is our last moment for protest.

Obama and Romney. Evil and Evil Lite. What kind of choice is that. There is no excuse for a socialist to be a nominee of the Republican Party.

After all, there is a GOD. We should be supporting Newt and trusting God for the rest. Instead, we’re going with a wing and a prayer that Romney will “save” us, thinking he has the best chance to beat Obama and leaving God out of it.

IF, perhaps, just IF, this is a test from God—we’re definitely failing it. In spades.

RE :”The same applies to her as everyone else... Not fighting, not helping Newt right now, is the same as voting for Obama.
I want you to think about something... if all these people, who call themselves conservative, who want to be thought of as conservative, all joined together – from Limbaugh – to Sarah – to Bachmann, and all the others – and in one voice said, No, we won’t, and worked their hearts out for Newt, starting this moment right now - instead of CYAing it; there would be no doubt who the next President would be. It would be Newt. It will still be Newt. But look what they are doing, look at the maneuvering, the shifting, the caving. In the space of a week the conservative world – political and otherwise – has become a cluster of Bart Stupak clones. “

It's called Primary fatigue. Most Republicans want to move on to attacking Obama, tired of attacking one another.

Most of those you listed said they wouldn't endorse a specific candidate in the primary because they would in the end support whoever the actual nominee is, even Romney. You have to listen closely and not filter what you hear with what you want to hear.

Palin long ago and more than once said she would support Romney if he was the nominee. Yes there was a bunch of mythology created about her that she would slay the establishment candidate (Romney) and then go on to beat Obama in the debates. That was great $$$$$ business. Then when she admitted she wasn't running a smaller myth was created by Newt (encouraged by Palin) that he was that one, He told us many times he couldnt lose the nomination but he looks like he is, and badly too. He is a long time book-speech seller master and he taught her how to do it.

Even if Romney gets beat by Obama they have to be seen as opposing Obama in it, no matter what they think.

There are some of us who haven't voted yet. Should our vote not count? I will be very happy to vote for Newt. When the convention comes around and Romney gets the nomination I will decide then what the future shall hold. But I haven't cast my vote yet!
