McDonnell appears on VP shortlist
The Washington Times ^ | July 26, 2012 | Ralph Z. Hallow

Posted on 07/27/2012 9:57:10 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell has emerged as one of three Republican officeholders who political handicappers say have the most potential to unify the party and boost the fortunes of GOP standard-bearer Mitt Romney as a running mate in November.

While Mr. Romney has revealed little about his vice-presidential search, Mr. McDonnell, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio are widely seen as reliable economic and social conservatives at a time when the party faces the possibility of factional divisions heading into next month’s convention in Tampa, Fla.

The Virginia governor, experienced analysts note, is a staunchly pro-life Catholic with a fiscally conservative reputation and no known opposition among evangelicals, whose votes have been vital to GOP electoral success and many of whom are skeptical about Mr. Romney’s Mormon religion.

The Virginia governor is considered a competent, and at times engaging, speaker not likely to upstage Mr. Romney — unlike, say, more charismatic figures such as Mr. Rubio or New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

See how you exposed yourself?

You should delete all those tweets you got from Anthony Wiener.

Or at least come up with better captions.

I just found the irony in this instance -- "You can't tell me to shut up, dammit! I... ummmmm.... hello? Hello?" -- to be particularly delicious, is all. ;)

There is obviously something very wrong with me.

Hey, trewblewer.
If you clowns really want to play Clown Posse games, we can.
Do you reeeeeaaaaally want to play those games?
Ask Mr. Churchill over there if he really wants to play those games.

McConnell is alright, but I will lose any respect I have for him if he runs with that loser Romney.

NOTHING will make me vote for Romney. I’m tired of being abused by the GOP.

I don't have any tweets - don't use twitter or FB - so it must be your tweets from AW you are addressing - YOU KNOW about them, I don't.

See how you exposed yourself?.....Or at least come up with better captions.

Does everything have to be explained to you? Who am I addressing? A poster who claims conservatism even in their screen name. We know mittbots/liberals lie - so MC finally was exposed who he/she really is - by just being himself through his rant.

Now should we start on 'humble'?

You are truly humorless.

JR put up a “truce thread.” Suggest you read it.

Show us where in the truce thread it gives carte blanche to mittbots to show disrespect towards the owner of the site and then add their demands along what 'they think' free speech is about?

I suggest you reread it - liberals are all about - ANYTHING GOES!

Pelosi believes in abortion on demand and homo “marriage”.
McDonnell does not believe in abortion of any kind, for any reason and certainly does not believe in homo “marriage”.

So can you please explain your thoughts on McDonnell?

A link showing me where he supports homo “marriage” and
abortion would be appreciated.

Some of the FReepers on here think they’re going to TEACH the Republicans a lesson by not voting for Romney.

Perhaps some freepers already know that the Repubs are UNTEACHABLE while you never gave it a thought! They are light years ahead of you!

What part of deliberately endorsing a 'far left of Kennedy' liberal candidate to defeat obama shows a WINNING mindset? No one can teach a twisted mind like that anything - but mittbots claim that's all we got! Check out the meaning of insanity before you biotch and moan !

Maybe there is some truth to the phrase - the stupid party!

MORE truth in the "Willingly Wanting Defeat" Party and looking for someone to blame.
