Why Romney Can't Win
NOPC Network ^ | 4/13/2012 | Steve TMFO Elmore

Posted on 04/22/2012 10:08:57 AM PDT by katiedidit1

I'm backing Newt and hoping for a brokered convention, where Romney's lead in the polls will mean NOTHING. The remaining candidates plead their cases to the convention, and as we've seen, Newt SLAUGHTERS everyone in a debate. And it's more than that. I've never been a big fan of Newt's, but he's done one thing better than anyone else; he ATTACKS AND THE ATTACKS STICK. And when the opposition attacks, he blocks the shot and unloads even harder.

THAT is what it's going to take to beat Obama. Anything less, and we can kiss our country and our asses goodbye.

Your talking about the Constitution Party that supports the kind of protectionists trade policies Bernie Sanders would love, and an isolationist foreign policy that would make Ron Paul dance in glee. Sorry, the Constitution is not a serious alternative. They will get around the same .15% of the vote they got last time and make zero difference.

As for free trade I am against it, so thanks for telling everyone where the Constitution Party stands. Tariffs funded this country until the early 20th century.

As for isolationism, I may not be one but if this is our only bane of contention then the Constitution Party meets my needs 99%. I can live with that.

“I have always supported Newt.”

Then why are you trying to get others to forsake Newt for Romney? The nomination process is not over and Newt is a candidate. Why try to get others to choose Romney while there is an alternative? There may be a brokered convention and if not Newt, then not Romney either. There is no reason to accuse others of electing obama if they don’t jump on the Romney bandwagon. I know if Romney gets the nomination and loses the Conservatives and Tea Party will get the blame but the real reasons are in the article at the top of this page. There will not be a sharp distinction between obama and Romney and that would favor obama, Newt however would be as far from obama as Olive Branch, Mississippi is from Bejing, China.

My primary is past so when I go to the polls in November I will follow the Buckley rule and vote for the most conservative candidate who can win.

Whoever it is cuz four more of Obama will end our nation and that's a natural fact.

Now, napscoordinator, you must vote for Romney Tuesday to get practice needed to do the real thing on Nov. 6. Barbara Pierce Bush says you absolutely must do this.

Wadderya, stupid?

If that's the best you've got in the way of criticism, then I will reply with an hearty "SO WHAT?"...

I mean, really... compared to what we have now, and what Romney will invariably champion...

And in considering the fact that isolationism and protectionism in and of themselves can hardly injure this country like the open scrogging we are already getting from the socialist/communist/globalist crowd that is legislating us into oblivion...

Such a concern seems miniscule in the face of the mountain of crap one would have to settle for in voting for Romney.

Your comment is the epitome of 'straining the gnat and swallowing the camel.' Or is it mere 'Republicanism', and a fear of what might be beyond the tall fences of the plantation?

According to Bob Dole. Dick Cheney, and all the Bushes save Laura thus far, we absolutely must vote for Romney. There is no alternative. People can vote Romney in the remaining primaries to get the practice needed to do it for real on Nov. 6. “The Supreme Court” will be whispered in your ears.

Personally.. I suspect that it doesn’t matter WHO we vote for anymore.. all of the vote fraud that has been exposed and nothing done about it.. This system needs to be torn down and rebuilt from the bottom up:/

I agree. and a lot of us no longer bother to vote because we believe our vote will be cancelled by a fraudulent vote. Hugh Hewitts's book "If it's not Close They can't Cheat" is not good enough when the fraud gets so big it overwhems the valid votes. The candidates (except for Newt) remain silent about fraud. They are guilty too. So I won't vote.

Now that is what I call brass ones. A person who dares to question others conservative credentials, but is solidly behind the far Left policy of no free trade.

It definitely seems the door opens wider for them every voting season.. the more they do it and get away with it, the more they know they CAN do it.. and it grows exponentially X(

Yup, you and Karl Marx. both Free Traders.

But, generally speaking, the Protective system in these days is conservative, while the Free Trade system works destructively. It breaks up old nationalities and carries antagonism of proletariat and bourgeoisie to the uttermost point. In a word, the Free Trade system hastens the Social Revolution. In this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, I am in favor of Free Trade.

Unlike women, we conservatives are not creatures prone to violence when we do not get our way, therefore; since we are the workers, the producers, the creators of things of real value and worth to humanity AND to the parasites, simply stop producing anything. Take a sabbatical during these times of taxing and stealing and defrauding by the system, and things will be set aright. Don’t cooperate. Don’t produce anything for them to take a cut of, and they will back off. No violence, no problem. Except all the producers have to agree to stop supporting the ne’er-do-wells and parasites for this to work. What do you think?

I think it worked great in the book, but without a John Galt to actually take a lead and marshall forces I don't see it doing much for us in my lifetime. We don't have a John Galt willing to take a lead. In fact nobody worth a crap even wants to be our President. Everyone with a message worth getting behind and fighting for and who has the ability to execute has some reason or other that they just don't want the job. They probably know or think they know that not enough citizens would have their back. Not sure how we turn something like this around.

I’m sure you consider yourself a conservative, but are you a conservative with battered womans’s syndrome?

If Obama is reelected, he'll complete his mission of turning the US into a larger version of Greece, ruled by his black racist marxist thugocracy.

If you like what he's been up to over the past three years, by all means help him get reelected. Stay home, write in Sarah Palin (though she doesn't want your vote, or she'd be running herself) or vote third party. Obama will then be empowered to return to his goal of methodically destroying our country. He'll strip away more of your rights while destroying the economy, weakening defense, colluding with the Russians, supporting anti-American upstart movements throughout the world, adding more Kagan's to the SC, issuing executive orders to destroy business and annihilating the middle class.

I would say screw the GOP, except that when you have a deliberate saboteur at the national helm, parties and payback seem kind of irrelevant.

Mitt didn’t think Obama was bad for the country, the attacks on Sarah began with his campaign staff. He was willing to let Obama win so he could run in 4 years. His statement that his sons are serving their country by campaigning for him shows his utter disrespect for the military.

“The Supreme Court” will be whispered in your ears.

When they whisper that I shout back, "Name ONE conservative Romney put on the court in Massachusetts!"

They stop whispering.

...when the choice comes down to Mitt or Zero, there is no way I'm going to do anything that helps Zero have a second term. Even if that means voting for Mitt.

Mitt is closer to Obama in ideology than he is to you and I, yet you speak of voting for him in November as if that's a pro-survival choice. The man is an establishment liberal Democrat, but you'll vote for him because he's fooled you by wearing a Republican name tag.

How can someone with the name of Sun Tzu in their handle fail to see the suicidal dynamics involved here?

You're much better off facing an overt, avowed enemy, than allowing a traitor wearing false colors inside your gates.

With all due respect, the meme of this thread would be a tad bit more persuasive, had not Romney demolished every single GOP challenger for the last four years.

(and I say that not at a Mitten, but a sincere, dedicated Palinbot)

For all the qualifications Palin has still, Romney has pretty much defeated her at every turn.

Not honorable, that. But formidable, yes.

Romney is that important single thing: formidable.

A winner.
